The system forced me to be emperor

Seeing that he was unwilling to tell the truth, Yan Linglong stopped asking, and said: "After this incident, I expect the assassin to calm down for a while. I want to complete the alliance as soon as possible and return as soon as possible."

"Okay! I will enter the palace tonight and report the matter to my father, and we will try to complete all the procedures for the alliance within five days." Xiao Rui agreed.

Afterwards, the two chatted a few more words before Xiao Rui left.

Wu Zhanfa was seriously injured, so he was left in another courtyard to rest. Wei Guang drove and escorted Xiao Rui back to the mansion under the protection of the forbidden army.

Recalling all the details of the assassination in the afternoon in his mind, Xiao Rui's closed and contemplative eyes suddenly opened.

"Do you have any questions? Am I suspicious, or are you really hiding something?" Xiao Rui muttered to himself, and then said to Wei Guang: "There is no need to go back to the mansion, just go directly to the palace."

Xiao Rui went to the palace to face the saint, and Emperor Xia summoned him.

Emperor Xia was drinking tea in Nuan Pavilion, when he saw Xiao Rui coming in, he waved his hand and said, "Come, sit down, there is no need to salute."

Xiao Rui walked over and sat opposite Xia Huang, and Hai Dafu made tea for him.

"How is the injury?" Emperor Xia glanced at Xiao Rui's arm.

Xiao Rui said: "My father is worried, my son is fine, just some minor injuries. My son came here to report to my father some key points of work discussed with Dayan's envoy today."

"Oh, I heard from King Jin that he just left not long ago." Emperor Xia laughed.

Xiao Rui: ...

Xiao Lie's rush attack is in place, is it necessary?You are the deputy envoy, no matter how much credit you give, it will not be your turn.

"Your idea of ​​having trade relations is a blessing to the Great Xia Kingdom. Ore is far better than a few million taels! It seems that it is the right choice for me to let you take charge of this matter." Xia Huang said.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "It's my father who taught me well."

Emperor Xia said: "Among you brothers, you are the first to start training in major national affairs. I was still worried that you would not be able to grasp it. Now it seems that I have underestimated you. Next, I will give you a few more Add burden."

"This is the responsibility that a prince should do." Xiao Rui said respectfully.

Xia Huangdao: "Continue to discuss with Dayan according to your ideas. Since you have been given decision-making power, you can use it well."

"My son understands." Xiao Rui replied, and then he left the palace.

Seeing that he was about to arrive home, Xiao Rui suddenly received another task from the system.

"Ding dong, the new task is started."

"New task: kill Zhao Lu, the king of assassination, complete the descending value +20, time: 5 days. If the task fails, let Cao Lu come to you for a private chat."

"Current advent value: 60/100."

Xiao Rui's sleepy eyes opened instantly.

Chapter 121: Doubtful

To kill a fifth-rank master, or Cao Lu, the assassin king of the Great Zhao Kingdom?

Oh sweetie.

Such an important task is worth at least 40 points of advent value, why is it only 20 points, it is so difficult, and the points are so few, it is too much.

Protest, protest!

When Xiao Rui couldn't help but slander, the system bubbled up again.

"The host's suggestion has been adopted, this task is completed, and the descending value is +30!" The voice of the system sounded in my mind.

Xiao Rui blinked, and just wanted to continue protesting, but when he thought of the urine nature of the system, he immediately dared not speak up.Hey, extra ten cents would be great too.Don't you see those hard-working student parties, struggling to roar in front of the passing line of 59 points, if you give them [-] points, they will definitely kneel and lick.

It's just... how to kill Cao Lu?

I have no idea at all.

After entering the mansion, Jia Xu saw Xiao Rui was in a daze, and thought that the injury was serious and affected his IQ, so he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, are you in serious trouble?"

Xiao Rui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm thinking about other things. It's extremely dangerous to be assassinated today. Fortunately, the husband came back early, otherwise you are there without the strength to restrain the chicken, and you may be injured by the assassin."

After the negotiation, Jia Xu had a headache, so Xiao Rui asked Wei Guang to escort him back to the palace.

Jia Xu was greatly moved. If there is no upper limit to the loyalty value, it is estimated that it will have to go up again now.

"Your Highness, why are you so worried?" Jia Xu asked.

Xiao Rui asked: "Sir, I want to find Cao Lu, the King of Assassins of the Great Zhao Kingdom, and kill him. Do you have any good ideas?"

Jia Xu frowned immediately, not quite understanding Xiao Rui's behavior.

"In front of the palace, the most urgent task is to complete the alliance. Cao Lu's whereabouts are secretive, and it is not easy to kill him." Jia Xu said euphemistically.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I know, but...but this is the test my father gave me."

Clever, he immediately transferred the insidiousness of the system to Emperor Xia.A son who doesn't cheat his father is not a good host.

"Emperor Xia?" Jia Xu was startled, then nodded, and said, "Since it's His Majesty's intention, we have to take it seriously, but if we want to find Cao Lu, we must think long-term and come up with a good solution, otherwise we won't be able to think about it again." It will be difficult to deal with him."

Xiao Rui agreed: "Yes. By the way, sir, apart from the heavy rain that created an opportunity for Cao Lu today, there are still some doubts that make me feel uneasy for a long time. I am afraid that my analysis is not accurate, so please help me. I'll refer to it."

"Oh? Your Highness, please tell me." Jia Xu also felt that the assassination was strange. The assassin took advantage of the heavy rain to rush into the heavily guarded courtyard to assassinate. It was too bold, and there were only a dozen or so people. .

Xiao Rui sorted out his thoughts, and said: "The rain was too heavy, which affected the sight of the imperial guards and caused the assassins to enter the other courtyard. I don’t know the time gap of the imperial guard’s patrol, and it’s almost impossible to easily touch the vicinity, this is the first doubt.”

"The second doubtful point is that the assassin knows who the real Yan Linglong is. I suspect that it was leaked by the black hand in the Dayan Mission, and Yan Linglong did not deny it."

"The third doubt is that I was about to leave the other courtyard, but I was suddenly stopped by Duan Wang, who asked me for a favor."

Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Oh? There is another matter, what can the fourth prince ask His Highness to do?"

Xiao Rui said: "She likes Yan Linglong pretending to be a female official, please let me be a matchmaker."

Jia Xu frowned immediately, and said, "This is indeed a bit suspicious, but it may be a coincidence."

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "But the next thing, when the assassins entered the house and attacked us, only one second-rank assassin attacked Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng seemed to be acting too fake, he seemed to resist desperately, but he The performance of martial arts above the Golden Palace shows that his martial arts cultivation is not limited to this, and this is the fourth doubt."

Jia Xu immediately understood Xiao Rui's meaning, but still said: "Your Highness's suspicion is justified, but it is also possible that Xiao Feng did it on purpose. If His Highness dies at the hands of the assassin, it will not do him any harm."

"That's why I didn't dare to confirm it, so I asked my husband to analyze it for me. After all, Xiao Feng's performance from the beginning was that he was physically strong and lacked in IQ. However, I would rather suspect my mistake than ignore it." Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Ever since he decided to compete for the crown prince, Xiao Rui did not dare to underestimate any prince, and absolutely did not believe what they looked like on the surface.As Cao Cao said, he would rather kill by mistake than let him go.

Jia Xu smiled: "I warned Your Highness before that no prince is simple. Is Xiao Feng really that big and three rough? I don't believe it. After listening to what His Highness said, I believe even more that Xiao Feng is not simple. Your Highness, The reason why Xiao Feng asked you to be a matchmaker was intentional. He needed the four of you to gather in the same room. And he was also there, and being attacked by an assassin was equivalent to clearing himself of his suspicions. But when faced with an attack, his strength If he is strong, he can only hide his clumsiness, but shows his bravery. This is how cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. If he deliberately pretends to be invincible, instead of pretending to be brave, it will not make us doubt him."

"So what His Highness said is very true, we must investigate him!"
