Madam, protect me!

Qujiang Garden.

In the main hall, the musicians had already stopped playing.

The dancers stopped dancing and stood blankly in the hall.

As for the guests in the palace who were invited by King Rui to visit the garden, none of them dared to express their dignity, lowered their heads and remained silent.

Although I don’t know what happened, there was obviously a huge conflict between the two supervising princes, and Prince Rui’s personal guard even drew his sword.

This kind of thing is not something they can participate in.

King Chun slowly let go of his hand, and King Rui's body slid down the pillar.

He glanced at the feminine man holding the sword and said coldly: "The hand that draws the sword will be chopped off."

The feminine man's expression changed, but when he saw several figures pressing up behind King Chun, they locked him firmly with powerful Qi.

If you use swords against the prince, you will be exempted from the death penalty, but you will not be able to escape the punishment of living.

Not wanting to bring more trouble to His Highness, he gritted his teeth and unsheathed the sword out of thin air, only to be grasped by Prince Rui.

King Rui handed the hilt of the sword to King Chun and said calmly: "I am also to blame for my lax command. How about cutting off my hand first?"

King Chun glanced at him, turned and left without speaking again.

King Rui returned the sword to the feminine man, and after dismissing the guests and musicians and dancers in the palace, the feminine man half-knelt on the ground and said, "I am impulsive, your highness, please punish me!"

Prince Rui personally helped him up and said, "How could I blame you? No matter what happens, you are the only one who treats me sincerely."

He glanced at the other guards, who lowered their heads and did not dare to meet his eyes.

How dare they draw a sword against the prince? When the time comes, when King Chun wants to chop off their hands, King Rui will not protect them like this.

Prince Rui looked away, his face darkened, and asked: "Go and find out what happened. Why did Prince Chun suddenly go crazy?"

A figure ran out of the hall and quickly ran back.

There were singing and dancing in Qujiang Garden just now, but things have turned upside down outside. It is not difficult to find out the news that Prince Rui wants.

After King Rui learned the whole story, he ignored his anger and asked in shock: "What? Li Xuanjing was assassinated and his son was seriously injured. Is this news true or false?"

The man nodded and said, "Your Highness, this news is absolutely true. Today, when Mr. Li's family went to pay homage to his wife, they were attacked and killed by a group of assassins. It is said that among the assassins there was a grandmaster and more than ten fourth-level masters. Among the warriors, except for the grandmaster who escaped, all the other assassins were killed or captured..."

King Rui looked shocked.

After a moment, he gave the feminine man a look and left the hall.

The two walked into the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Prince Rui looked back at the feminine man, moved his lips and asked, "Did you arrange it?"

The feminine man also recovered from the shock, shook his head and said, "No, it was not our people who did it."

Although King Rui once said that he would find a master to destroy Li Xuanjing's family.

But how can a master-level killer be so easy to find?

Most of the famous masters have sects or families behind them. Once the matter is revealed, it will be the disaster of annihilation of the family and the annihilation of the clan. No one is willing to take this risk.

Not to mention them, even the masters on the killer list would not dare to take this job.

King Rui slapped his palm on the stone table and said angrily: "The Seven Evils of Tianshan were invited here to arouse their thoughts, but how did they know that it was me who took action last time? Damn it, who was behind it? Plan against me!"

The feminine man lowered his head and said, "It's all the negligence of my subordinates. It should be the last case that gave them a clue."

After Prince Rui took a deep breath, he waved his hand and said: "They have no evidence, and they can't do anything to me. But you, it's better not to take action personally in the future. If something happens to you, there will be no one trustworthy around me." ”

The feminine man's eyes were moved, and he whispered: "I obey."

Chang'an.

Within a certain mansion.

A figure walked into a certain hall, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "King Chun went to Qujiang Garden. It is said that a conflict broke out with Prince Rui. All the guests present saw it. They must have transferred this account. It’s on Prince Rui’s head.”

He looked at the soft couch that was covered by gauze curtains and said, "Although I don't know how Li Xuanjing's son survived last time, the blame still falls on Prince Rui, who is Li Xuanjing's only son. Let’s see how he will take revenge on Prince Rui…”

From behind the gauze curtain, a lazy voice came: "Do you really think Li Xuanjing will believe it?"

The speaker was slightly stunned. At this time, the person behind the gauze curtain smiled again and said: "Whether you believe it or not, the result is the same..."

Li Mansion.

Li Nuo is taking turns teaching Niangzi and Yiren Tianshan swordsmanship.

Originally, there was only a portrait of a disciple of the Tianshan Sect in the code. After these days of teaching without reservation, Li Nuo had nothing to teach him.

But today, there were seven more portraits on the codex.

Seven disciples of the Tianshan Sect in the fourth realm.

One of the major functions of the Codex is the fusion of abilities of the same type.

For now, except for the swordsman of Tianshan Sect, probably no one knows Tianshan swordsmanship better than him.

These portraits will be darkened tomorrow. In order to save a few days of life, Li Nuo will of course strike while the iron is hot.

King Chun walked in from the outside and saw that Li Nuo was so energetic. He was completely relieved and turned around and walked to another courtyard.

In the study, the concierge Lao Huang stood in front of the table and said respectfully: "The master in black should be Zhao Wuji. When he was young, he once worshiped under many sects and learned several profound boxing techniques. , he studied in seclusion for twenty years, created his own Zhao Family Changquan, defeated several boxing masters in a row, and became a master. He now has no sect and no relatives. It is almost impossible to find him..."

As soon as he finished speaking, King Chun strode into the room and said, "I have already warned King Rui. If he dares to take action again, I will definitely go to my father and take away his qualification to supervise the prince..."

Li Xuanjing stood up and said slowly: "Prince Rui may not have done this case."

King Chun was slightly startled, "Ah, could it be that I have found the wrong person?"

He scratched his head and said, "If it's really not him, how about I go find him and apologize?"

Li Xuanjing waved his hand and said: "It's not enough to apologize. Although it's not him this time, there will always be him. I just take this opportunity to settle the accounts ahead..."

Just leave these matters to Xuan Jing. King Chun only cared about one question and asked: "If it's not King Rui, who could it be?"

Li Xuanjing didn't say anything, and the concierge Lao Huang said: "It is impossible to hire a master and so many fourth realms without a million silver taels. There are many people in Chang'an who have this financial resources, but if they can afford it, they are willing to pay." I’m afraid there aren’t many people with this amount of money…”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was almost famous.

The person who has the financial resources and courage to do this is more than 90% likely to be one of the several princes who supervise the country.

As for who specifically did it, it could be anyone.

He stepped on them from a prince who had nothing to what he is today.

King Chun looked at Li Xuanjing and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, they might not attack your family."

Li Xuanjing waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. Now that you have chosen this path, you can never look back..."

Chang'an.

The assassination case of Dali Siqing's family continues to ferment.

King Chun broke into Qujiang Garden, grabbed King Rui by the collar, and lost his temper. As the guests dispersed, people soon heard about it.

The relationship between Prince Chun and Li Xuanjing naturally does not need to be elaborated.

To make the always kind King Chun so angry, could it be that this case was done by King Rui?

People's suspicion did not last long before it was verified.

The Dali Temple Minister was assassinated in the morning. In the afternoon, the Mirror Division took action and sealed more than a dozen shops in Chang'an.

These sealed shops include brothels, music shops, pawn shops, jewelry shops... They have two things in common.

First, these are hugely profitable businesses.

Secondly, these are the properties of Prince Rui’s Mansion.

Even if it is not directly related to Prince Rui's Mansion, it is still inextricably linked.

If it was sealed by the Chang'an County Government, Jingzhao Mansion, or the Ministry of Household Affairs, a reason must be given, but the Mirror Division sealed it just as it was told, without even giving a reason.

But this is not the end.

Some officials in major yamen in Chang'an were taken away from the yamen by people from the Mirror Department while they were working, without any explanation.

These officials also have a common characteristic.

They are all relatively close to King Rui.

In this regard, the relevant departments of North Korea and China did not take any action.

Even the censors were unusually silent.

In the upper class circles of Chang'an, there are some tacit rules that everyone follows.

Since Prince Rui wants to kill Li Xuanjing and his son, he must make a careful plan and not make a mistake.

Even if you miss, don't leave any obvious loopholes.

Fortunately for him, he hired a killer to assassinate the Minister of Dali Temple. Not only did he fail, but he also exposed himself.

Princess An Ning was also present at that time.

Although the Mirror Division has no direct evidence to prove that Prince Rui was behind the scenes, Li Xuanjing's only son almost died, so he must be allowed to take revenge.

Otherwise, I don’t know how many innocent people would suffer.

The court chose to turn a blind eye to the evil that Prince Rui himself had done.

Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Your Highness, it's bad, another store has been sealed!"

"Your Highness, something bad happened. Mr. Xu was also taken away by the Mirror Division!"

"Your Highness..."

…

Prince Rui sat on the soft couch, listening to the reports one after another, with an almost dull expression on his face.

Rather than anger, he felt more injustice in his heart.

What happened today was really not his doing!

He also admitted that Li Xuanjing had settled accounts with him for the previous assassinations of his son.

But this assassination incident really had nothing to do with him!

Just one grandmaster, there are more than a dozen warriors in the fourth realm. How much money can he give up?

Which thief is plotting against him?

Also, are all the people from the three provinces and six ministries dead?

Li Xuanjing acted so wantonly and they didn't care!
