Iron Dynasty

Chang'an City is destined to be restless tonight.

When Du Heng arrived at the left and right Wuwei with the military talisman, the army immediately dispatched, and the soldiers poured into the streets and alleys of Chang'an City with torches.

Keep up, keep up, search for me one by one, Your Majesty has an order, even if you turn over the city of Chang'an, you will also catch the assassins!

The street looked deep and dark in the darkness, and Du Heng's eyes were cold.

He has followed Xiao Wenxuan for a long time, and naturally he knows the status of King Qi in Xiao Wenxuan's eyes now, especially this time Xiao Ming won the Shanhaiguan. These days, Xiao Wenxuan talks about Xiao Ming almost every day.

Because it was King Qi's repeated military exploits that gradually washed away the humiliation of the Great Yu Kingdom over the years, and the rise of a powerful royal vassal made the kings of the opposite sex restrain their arrogance one by one.

Yes!

After receiving the order, soldiers like wolves and tigers poured into the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. This time, neither the ordinary people nor the royal family members could stop the left and right military guards from searching, showing how angry Xiao Wenxuan was.

While he was commanding the soldiers to search, the gate of a house suddenly opened, and a man walked out while wearing his clothes.

When the man saw that it was Du Heng, he couldn't help but ask, Du Heng, what's wrong with this? It's so inspiring.

It turned out to be the book of Feizhong.

Seeing the person coming, Du Heng let go of his vigilance and said, Fei Zhongshu doesn't know anything. His Royal Highness King Qi was attacked when he returned to his residence after attending a family banquet. Now I am being ordered to search Chang'an City.

Someone attacked King Qi! Fiji was shocked, and he hurriedly asked: Is King Qi okay now?

His Royal Highness is safe and sound, but the guards around him have been killed and injured many times. Your Majesty is angry because of this.

The emperor's feet dare to be so arrogant, he is simply out of control. Fiji was furious, this Xiao Ming was already his prospective son-in-law, and he was naturally very angry when such a thing happened.

While the two were talking, some soldiers were about to rush into Fei's house to search. Du Heng shouted, At this time, there is no need to search Fei Zhongshu's house, so as not to disturb Miss Fei.

Fiji said: General Du, this is unnecessary. Since it is His Majesty's order, this search should still be searched. This official does not want to be offended.

Hearing this, Du Heng said, Since this is the case, Du Mou will be offended.

Fiji nodded and entered the courtyard with Du Heng.

The chaos outside also awakened Fei Yue'er. She and Xiaohuan also came out of the boudoir. After seeing Fiji, they couldn't help asking, Dad, what's wrong?

Fiji sighed and told Xiao Ming's assassination.

Fei Yue'er and Xiao Huan suddenly turned pale with fright, but after learning that Xiao Ming was safe and sound, Fei Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief, she said, Dare to assassinate His Highness on the first day he enters the city, father, who would be so big? courage?

You said that if King Qi died, who would benefit the most?

Fiji is also thinking about this issue, and taking such a desperate risk proves that this force has fallen into madness.

Of course it's the prince. Now that His Royal Highness King Qi is so favored, and he has military skills, isn't this exactly the same as His Majesty back then? And His Majesty has the intention of moving the capital. If you go to Bianzhou, the palace will be in His Highness's eyelids. Underground. Fei Yue'er frowned and analyzed.

Fiji paced back and forth, thinking hard, You can figure this out, and others can also figure it out. Although the prince is stupid, he is not surrounded by stupid people, that's all, don't do it until things are settled. Just guessing.

Fei Yue'er nodded lightly, her bright eyes still full of worry.

...

The next morning.

Xiao Ming got up very early. Last night, Concubine Zhen was so frightened that she cried when he learned that he had been assassinated. It was only after his hard persuasion that Concubine Zhen felt a little relieved.

He hadn't slept all night last night. He had been thinking about who was going to assassinate him, but after thinking about it, he felt that many people had reasons to kill him.

Now his only clue is the specious remarks made by the third prince when he was about to leave.

It's just that he knows that when he goes to confront the third prince at this time, he will not admit it, and this sentence does not explain much.

After a simple meal, he went directly to the Tai Hospital, where all the guards who were injured last night were sent here for treatment, and Xiao Ming's heart twitched when he learned that more than 20 guards could not be rescued.

His Royal Highness, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital said that Zhao Hu would not die. Zhao Long also stayed up all night, and he had been staying at the Imperial Hospital to take care of the soldiers.

This is good, this is good. Xiao Ming patted Zhao Long on the shoulder. The two had followed him for a long time, saying that it was impossible to have no relationship.

Zhao Long then sighed and said, It's a pity that those twenty soldiers did not die on the battlefield with the barbarians, but they died in their own hands.

This is wrong. These assassins are barbarians! They are not their own.

The two were talking when suddenly a voice came, an old man wearing a dark round neck gown and a long beard came out from the corner.

Doctor Wu!

Xiao Ming knew this imperial physician. When his predecessor was sick, this imperial physician Wu treated him. In the imperial hospital, this imperial physician Wu was also recognized for his superb medical skills.

His Royal Highness. Wu Shangke bowed to Xiao Ming, The bodies of these assassins are in the morgue, and the officer has already examined them. Although there is basically no difference between these assassins and the people of Da Yu, they can still be identified carefully. I can tell that these assassins are all descendants of the barbarians and the people of Da Yu.”

Bag! Zhao Long cursed.

Although Zhao Long's words are vulgar, they are true. If Wu Shangke's words are correct, these people are probably the descendants of barbarians and slaves of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Are the barbarians trying to kill me? Xiao Ming asked uncertainly.

Zhao Long pondered for a while and said, Your Highness, it's not impossible. It is said that the barbarians specially trained a group of bastards just to let them sneak into the Great Yu Kingdom to assassinate. When Shanhaiguan was captured, the bastards' contribution was not small. It was only when they penetrated into Shanhaiguan and assassinated the generals who guarded the pass that the guards were leaderless.

Xiao Ming nodded. If there was no reminder from the third prince, he would have believed that it was the barbarians.

But now he still has some doubts in his heart.

Doctor Wu, can you be sure? Xiao Ming asked again.

It is certain that the hair of the barbarians is somewhat curly, and the hair of these people is spread out. Nine times out of ten, the same is true. Generally speaking, the descendants of barbarian men and women from the Great Yu Kingdom will have this characteristic. Wu Shangke said.

Then he said: His Royal Highness, the lower official has to report this matter to Your Majesty and bid farewell.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, This king is also going to the father in front of him, so let's go together.

After all, the two went to the front hall together.
