Idle game leads to another world
Chapter 1544: Unavoidable
The assassination of the princess was a big deal in itself, not to mention that Princess Mingzhu was the favorite princess of the Emperor of Qizhou State, and she was assassinated near the capital Kangping City.
After receiving the news, they were of course furious. The entire Kangping City and the surrounding villages and towns were all under martial law, blocking traffic to check goods and suspicious persons, and even searching door to door, as if they were determined to drag out the assassin's family and hang them on the flagpole.
But to be honest, this operation is actually more of a human effort, and it is hard to say how much effect it can have.
After all, the assassins of Anxiang Hall were obviously well prepared, and they probably prepared more than one retreat route. When the officials started to act, the people of Anxiang Hall had already run away.
However, there are many doubts about the assassination of the princess, and Li Chengxi believes that this will be the starting point of the investigation.
For example, who can accurately calculate the princess's itinerary.
Although Princess Mingzhu's motorcade is huge and undisguised, Princess Mingzhu will not follow the itinerary honestly.
In the past, when attending the Young Heroes Conference, it was normal to change the itinerary temporarily and go for a few laps. In the past, Li Chengxi only thought that the princess had ADHD.
But think about it carefully, maybe this is a defensive measure to prevent people with ulterior motives from using the itinerary to assassinate.
——Of course, it should be true that she wanted to go out for fun.
The person who could get the itinerary and arrange the assassination in the first time must be among the princess's entourage, and it is not the kind of chores like the palace maids, but it is likely to be among the imperial guards and the officials responsible for taking care of the princess.
The only miscalculation of Anxiangtang was that they did not expect to meet Yang Yiyi halfway. The princess and Yang Yiyi chatted for a long time at the intersection, which made the assassins who were originally ambushing in the woods think that they might be exposed, so they took action in advance.
If the assassins of Anxiangtang acted according to the original itinerary, the princess's carriage happened to go to the road with woods on both sides. At this time, it would not be as easy to defend against the assassination than on flat ground.
In addition, let's not talk about how the assassins got the crossbows, isn't it too exaggerated to bring out the crossbows?
This thing is usually only available in the military. Even the control of bows and crossbows is very strict, not to mention crossbow cannons.
All the craftsmen who can make this thing are registered, and it is not possible to find anyone to make it.
Either there is a problem with the craftsmen, or there is a problem with someone in the army.
These two doubts are more eye-catching among many doubts. Li Chengxi can see it, and there is no reason why the person in charge of the investigation cannot see it. If you dig deeper along the line, you may get some results.
As for how to investigate, it has nothing to do with Li Chengxi, nor with Yang Yiyi, and no one will report to Yang Yiyi.
Whether it is formalism or just venting anger, martial law has been imposed anyway, and you can't leave.
He Ling and the others planned to take a boat to Nanshan City, but they could only give up for the time being and wait until the storm is over.
The one related to Yang Yiyi was that a eunuch came from the palace the next day and announced the imperial edict to give Yang Yiyi a reward.
Before this, the Emperor of Qizhou had already given Yang Yiyi a brocade robe and jade belt, which was basically the highest honor that a commoner could get. This time, he also gave her some gold and silver rewards. Unless Yang Yiyi wanted to enter the officialdom, the highest reward would be just this, just for show.
By the way, the eunuch also conveyed the intention of Princess Mingzhu, who wanted to wait until she was free in the future to let Yang Yiyi talk to her about going to the Western Regions.
——She was still thinking about this.
Princess Mingzhu couldn't come out now, even if she just strolled around Kangping City like before. She wanted to hear stories so much that she scratched her head, but without the emperor's permission, Princess Mingzhu couldn't summon Yang Yiyi, a commoner, into the palace.
Now even Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping were not allowed to enter the palace. Princess Mingzhu might have to wait for a while until it was confirmed to be safe.
The martial law in Kangping City lasted for seven or eight days. It was unknown whether anyone from Anxiangtang had been caught, but a large number of soldiers were still arranged at major traffic routes to check passersby. It was a relaxation, but not completely.
It was at this time that He Ling proposed to take a boat to Nanshan City.
For the people from Qingshanmen, living in Situ Mansion was too tiring. As soon as they heard that the dock was reopened, they wanted to leave immediately.
Yang Yiyi wanted to keep He Ling and the others for a few more days, but she had already made up her mind to leave, so she had to send them on the boat.
Wu Shaoyi also wrote a letter for He Ling to take with her. When she arrived in Nanshan City, she took the letter to Wujiazhuang, and her father would help He Ling and the others find a way to settle down in Nanshan City.
The matter of returning to the sect was completely over here. According to the plan, Yang Yiyi should travel everywhere next, without any purpose, mainly to highlight a chivalrous and righteous act.
Yang Yiyi seemed to want to stay with Li Yingluo for a few more days, and Li Chengxi said that it was no problem, which was much better than Yang Yiyi getting involved in any trouble.
But as the saying goes, God does not fulfill one's wishes. Even if Li Chengxi is a god, he cannot defy fate.
After sending He Ling and the others on the boat, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi walked back and passed by the city gate. They saw that a soldier had posted a new notice and soon a large group of onlookers surrounded them.
Li Chengxi actually had a bad premonition at this time, but Yang Yiyi was a guy who liked to join in the fun. When he saw that there were many people around the city gate, he immediately squeezed over with Wu Shaoyi to take a look.
The notices posted at the city gate are usually wanted criminals, or some new policies, to make them public.
The notice posted this time was different from the usual ones. It was written in 700 to 800 words, and there were scholars reading to the illiterate people.
In general, the meaning was very simple.
Now the North is coming aggressively, and the ten countries in the Central Plains are in danger. At this time of national crisis, we are announcing to the heroes of the world that those who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic are invited to go to the North to resist the invasion.
This sounds like a recruitment advertisement, but there is a very important point.
It is for the people of the world.
The Central Plains martial arts cannot confront the country, but these guys are so powerful that it is not easy for ordinary soldiers to catch them.
Now among the ten countries in the Central Plains, only the two countries bordering the North are in a state of war, and the other eight countries are acting as nurses for blood transfusions.
In this case, the Central Plains martial arts, as a major civilian force, cannot fail to express its position.
You all call yourselves heroes, but now the country is at the critical moment of life and death, won’t you help?
This is the meaning of the content of the notice. Li Chengxi felt a pang in his heart after reading it.
It’s bad!
Li Chengxi had been avoiding things related to the Northland, just because he was afraid that Yang Yiyi would be curious again, but now it was all in vain.
"Brother Li, I want to..."
"No, you don't want to"
"But..."
"The Northland is freezing cold, and there is still a war, what are you going to do?"
"Once this notice is issued, many martial arts friends will definitely gather together to defend their country, and I can't stay out of it."
Li Chengxi couldn't help but hold his forehead.
He knew it would be like this!
Yang Yiyi usually listens to Li Chengxi's instructions, and her body has formed a conditioned reflex to Li Chengxi's instructions.
But on the issue of right and wrong, Yang Yiyi is very persistent and will never compromise.
It's over, this Northland, I must go there.
