   Chapter 579 Shock (4)

   Zhou Li personally brought the chair over.

   This kind of courtesy, Governor Xie was full of gratitude and moved, and sat down tremblingly.

   After sitting down, I was able to look at His Royal Highness carefully.

   After taking a closer look, Governor Xie was secretly shocked: "Why is Your Highness so pale?" There was almost no blood, and he looked like white paper.

Zhou Li replied on his behalf: "His Royal Highness was poisoned that day. In order to remove the residual poison from his body, he had to administer needles and drink medicine every day, and he had to bleed the next day. So he looked weaker. Fortunately, His Highness has no serious symptoms. It's in the way. As long as you take care of it slowly, you will be able to return to the way it was before."

   I was lucky to be able to save a life.

   Governor Xie sighed: "I have known each other for more than ten years, and they have been officials in the south of the Yangtze River. They have a deep relationship with each other. I never imagined that this time, such a big mess would happen because of him."

  I want to plead, but I really don't have that face.

Li Jing seemed to see through Governor Xie's mind, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I won't take anger on others. As long as I catch the real murderer and find out that it has nothing to do with Inspector Jiang, I will let him go back. It's just that he has something to do with it. , and only deal with him alone, and will not implicate the Jiang family."

   Governor Xie breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands gratefully: "Your Highness is magnanimous, and I thank your Highness first on behalf of Inspector Jiang."

   As soon as he finished speaking, there was a heavy knock on the door.

Zhou Li went to open the door in person, and saw Eunuch Xiaoyuan running in quickly, with cold sweat on his forehead, and his voice was hurried: "Your Highness, there are more and more gangsters outside the house, just now, an expert appeared from nowhere, and almost rushed through the side door. The personal soldiers tried their best to resist, and they stopped them, but we also suffered a lot of casualties."

   These personal soldiers have all been with Li Jing on the battlefield, and they have been protecting Li Jingdong in recent years.

   Tonight, gangsters attacked the Governor's Palace, and casualties are inevitable. Hearing this with his own ears, Li Jing's heart still throbbed. Jun's face also turned white.

   Governor Xie also took a deep breath and said angrily, "These people are really bold!"

   Dare to attack the Governor's Mansion at night to besiege the Prince, this is the death penalty of the Nine Clan!

Fang Zizhan sighed: "It's useless to say anything now, you have to guard the Governor's Palace first, and never let anyone in." After a pause, he whispered to Governor Xie: "His Royal Highness just said that the Jiangnan garrison may not necessarily be Rescue will come in time.”

   Governor Xie's expression also became solemn, and he looked at Li Jing.

   Governor Xie, as the head of Jiangnan civil servants, naturally dealt with Jiangnan generals. The original commander of the Jiangnan garrison fell ill three years ago, so he returned to his home to recuperate. The Ministry of War sent General Luo to take over the garrison.

   This General Luo, who used to be a guard in the imperial forest, followed Emperor Yongjia to reward the battlefield and made a lot of military exploits. General Luo can come to Jiangnan Barracks to be the commander-in-chief, and it was appointed by Emperor Yongjia.

   Governor Xie has been secretly drawing attention to General Luo's movements. Upon closer inspection this time, something suspicious was found. Don't say anything else, even if you drink the blood of soldiers, you will not be able to accumulate thousands of family wealth in just three years.

  If General Luo was bought by the Jiangnan old clan with a lot of money and deliberately delayed his return for a few hours, the Governor's Palace would be really dangerous tonight.

   Governor Xie made a decisive decision and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please listen to the words of the minister. The son of a thousand gold, don't sit down in the hall. Your Highness must not be in trouble."

   "There is a secret passage in the Governor's Palace, and there is a secret room under the secret passage. This secret room is very hidden, and no more than three people know it. The minister will bring His Highness into the secret room. Wait until everything is settled before showing your face."

  Is there a secret room?

   Fang Zi Zhan and Zhou Li both eyes lit up and said in unison, "Please enter the secret room, Your Highness."

  No matter what, Li Jing can't be okay.

  Li Jing made a mistake, the East Palace faction lost its foundation, and it was all over.

  Li Jing said: "It's not that far yet. Besides, if these people rush into the mansion, it's useless for me to hide in the secret room."

Governor Xie wanted to persuade, but Li Jing already looked over: "I know all your thoughts. It's just that at this time, I, the prince, only cherishes his own life. Wouldn't it make the hearts of the soldiers who are desperately cold? I'm weak. , I can't get up and show my face, at least I have to lie down here in peace."

  Li Jing looked gentle, but was actually very assertive. What he decides will not be easily changed.

   Governor Xie reluctantly stopped.

  …

  In the long wait, the time was extremely slow and difficult.

   From time to time, fires appeared in the Governor's Palace, which were quickly extinguished. The sound of random arrows, the scream of pain after being injured, and the sound of swords intersecting, all mixed together, which was startling.

  In the darkness, a group of people appeared out of nowhere, and they rushed to the Governor's Palace one after another. Killed a group, and another group. It seems endless.

   In several streets near the Governor's Palace, the cries of children awakened from time to time can be heard. He was quickly covered again, accompanied by a trembling cry: "Don't shout! Cry again, and someone will rush over."

   Ordinary people can't wait to indent their heads underground, not to hear these terrible sounds and movements.

   also has many pairs of eyes, watching all this in the dark, and their eyes flash with excitement.

   First kill the prince, and then set fire to the Governor's Palace.

   The reinforcements sent by the imperial court had only left for a few days, and when they arrived in Jiangnan, the capital of the prince's corpse was cold. At that time, it is useless for the emperor to be angry. When the emperor chooses another wise prince as the heir, Jiangnan will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

  In the fence of the Governor's Palace, a group of personal soldiers stared at the fence with sharp blades. Once someone climbed over the fence, they immediately shot and killed them in the future.

   An hour has passed. The ground is full of corpses, including gangsters who attacked at night, as well as their own people. Blood flowed across the ground, soaking the ground standing under his feet.

   Another hour passed.

  Lu Yi held a long knife in his hand, Sen Han's knife light reflected on his blood-stained face, his eyes were full of anger.

  Swish!

   A shower of arrows flew from outside the wall.

   A group of personal soldiers blocked with their weapons. Someone was hit by an arrow, screamed miserably, and fell down. Another blast of rockets flew and landed on the house, causing a burst of fire. The fire was put out immediately. Taking advantage of this onslaught, more than a dozen gangsters climbed the wall.

  Lu Yi clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and the anger in his eyes became heavier.

   The personal soldier beside him gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Lu, these **** have spotted us here and kept shooting arrows. We've been staying here like this, it's too passive."

   Another personal soldier hurriedly said: "Yeah, why don't we rush out and kill yourself. It's too useless and embarrassing to stay here and be beaten like this."

  Lu Yi glared at them fiercely: "Shut up!"

   Such a simple thing, can't he think of it?

   But the situation outside is unknown. Once you rush out, the manor is not strong enough, and someone rushes in and hurts His Royal Highness. What should I do? Maybe, the villain on the opposite side is deliberately trying to force them out of the house.

   You have to endure it no matter how hard you feel.
