At this time, Zhang Han came in from the door, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general's lax supervision has frightened His Majesty and Young Master, please punish him!"

After such a thrilling assassination, Ying Zheng's face remained calm as usual, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

He said indifferently: "The shadow secret guards escorted him in time, and the merits and demerits are equal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Han responded, then stood up and stepped aside.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, everyone present also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Li Si walked up to Fusu, and asked with concern: "The assassin just now must have come for the young master, are you alright?"

As the voice fell, a cold light flashed from his sleeve

Chapter 464 The Test of Yingzheng

Fu Su replied: "No problem, Prime Minister don't have to worry."

"In this way, the minister can rest assured."

Li Si said something tentatively, and before the other party could react, he shot suddenly, took out a sharp knife from his sleeve without warning, and stabbed Fusu beside him without saying a word.

Everyone around was shocked for a moment, neither the Shadow Secret Guard nor the soldiers expected that Prime Minister Li Si would actually assassinate the eldest son, and there was no time to react.

But when the sharp blade was about a foot away from Fusu, it suddenly stopped, no matter how hard "Li Si" tried, he couldn't move forward, as if he was blocked by an invisible force.

Almost at the same time, a silver light flashed and flew out.

As the blood splashed, the person's shoulders were pierced directly, and the powerful force flew backwards with his body, nailing it to a wooden pillar.

Looking carefully, it turned out to be a silver chopstick for holding vegetables.

Immediately after Zhang Han reacted, he stepped forward and directly removed the assassin's arm joints and jaw, and took out the poison in his mouth to prevent him from committing suicide.

Then he came to Fusu, bowed and said: "The last general's escort is not good, I hope you will make amends!"

Fu Su said, "No one thought that Li Si would assassinate him. General Zhang Han doesn't need to blame himself."

Hearing this, Tian Yan on the side couldn't help frowning, and asked with some doubts: "Why did Li Si take the risk of assassinating?"

You must know that the other party is the prime minister of Daqin, the head of hundreds of officials, it can be said that one person is under one person and over ten thousand people.There is absolutely no reason to risk your own life to do such a thing.

But just when he was doubtful, he heard a voice: "Because he is not Li Si at all."

After the voice fell, I saw Ye Chen walking over at some point.

Seeing this, Zhang Han cupped his hands gratefully and said, "Just now, I thank the national teacher for taking action."

The previous chopstick was thrown by the opponent.

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Just do it casually, and even if I don't make a move, nothing will happen to the eldest son."

After all, Fusu was the eldest son of the empire, so how could accidents happen so easily, he could feel that besides the shadow guards, there were other masters lurking in the dark.

At this time, Tian Yan said: "Just now the national teacher said that this person is not Li Si, what did you mean?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, Li Si is also my junior, my eyes are not so bad."

Although the person in front of him was exactly the same as Li Si in terms of appearance, demeanor, voice and temperament, but he could be sure that the person in front of him was not the real Li Si.

First, it is the difference in breath.

Although this guy is already trying his best to hide it, it is impossible to deceive a master-level expert.

Second, Li Si didn't know martial arts, but the person in front of him possessed second-rate strength.

This gap, under its incomparably keen perception ability, can be said to be invisible.

The reason why Ye Chen didn't pierce immediately, but waited silently, was to see what the other party's purpose in impersonating Li Si was.

In addition, he also wanted to take this opportunity to test Fusu and see how the future heir to the empire would respond to such a situation.

As for the possible danger, Ye Chen didn't take it to heart either. With himself here, unless a Grandmaster-level existence took action himself, it would be impossible to hurt Fusu.

Hearing this, Tian Yan couldn't help changing his expression, then walked up to the assassin, put his hand on the side of his cheek, and then violently tore it.

Immediately afterwards, a human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wings appeared in his hand, and the assassin also revealed his original appearance.

It was a middle-aged man with a ferocious face, obviously a desperado.

"Sure enough!"

Tian Yan threw down the human skin mask in his hand, and said, "Who are you? Who ordered you to assassinate?"

The man heard the words and said coldly: "Miss, you are the queen of Lord Xinling, why not only do you not think about how to restore the country, but also take refuge in Tyranny?"

"Are you from Lord Xinling?"

Hearing this, Tian Yan's expression changed slightly.

"Although Lord Xinling is dead, our old department is still fulfilling his long-cherished wish during his lifetime."

The assassin replied.

Tian Yan's heart sank, and he instantly felt that he had fallen into a pit. Originally, he thought that the assassination was aimed at Fusu, but he didn't expect her to be the real killer.

If it is not done well, the blame will probably fall on me.

Then he yelled: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"Humph!"

The assassin snorted coldly and stopped replying.

Tian Yan's face was a bit ugly, it was obvious that this was a trap, and the assassin's real purpose was not to kill the imperial prince, but to destroy the marriage.

If these assassins were really Wei Wuji's former subordinates, then I'm afraid that he would also be implicated, not to mention the mother of the world in the future, it's hard to say whether he can save his life.

But at this moment, Ye Chen said: "If you are still loyal to Wei Wuji who has been dead for so many years, you won't say it directly."

Hearing this, the assassin's eyes flickered slightly, then he glanced over and said nothing.

At this time, Ying Zheng, who had never said a word, also opened his mouth, and said, "How do the national teachers think this matter should be handled?"

Hearing the question, Ye Chen said: "The key to this matter is not what this person said, but how he got in. As long as he finds out his origin, I believe many things can be clarified."

Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Just do what the national teacher said. But, who should I leave this matter to?"
