A bucket of Jiangshan [Rebirth]

Chapter 13: Assassination

Yan Pincheng was scolded bloody by the emperor for saying the heavy punishment of the white tiger last time. When he saw Yan Shulou today, his eyes were full of poison.So, with this anger, when the emperor called Yan Shulou to his study, he said to Yan Shulou in an indifferent way: "Brother Wuhuang is so lucky to be loved by the emperor one after another. But Royal father is not in a good mood these days, Brother Huang, you have to be more careful."

Yan Shulou sneered three times: "Thank you Liu Huangdi for your reminder. Compared with this, I think it's better for Liu Huangdi to go back and chant scriptures more to keep the holy beast safe and sound."

Yan Pincheng's face instantly turned red. Indeed, at this stall, if something happened to the white tiger, Emperor Baobuqi would be furious and attribute the reason to himself who proposed to punish the white tiger heavily.He clenched his fists hard, spat at the figure of Yan Shulou, and when he turned around, he regained his peaceful side, and told his subordinates with a smile: "Send someone to protect the holy beast, remember, don't show your feet."

"Yes."

Yan Shulou followed the emperor's footsteps to the study room. The emperor turned around with his hands behind his back, and the moment the door closed, he lowered his face and said, "The people who guarded Aowu all died suddenly."

"What!" Yan Shulou asked anxiously with a vigilant and shocked look, "What...what happened? What is the cause of death?"

The emperor's eyeballs walked around Yan Shulou's face, as if to determine whether his surprise was fake: "Dali Temple has found out that they all died of poisoning. The person who poisoned was from the dining room. Found dead. What do you think of that?"

"Whether there is any doubt on the holy beast, and...show the food it feeds the holy beast..."

The Son of Heaven pursed his lips: "The food Zhaoqi feeds is normal, and it's not a food that Aowu should avoid. As for Aowu's body, I also checked it, and there is no doubt about it."

Yan Shulou breathed a sigh of relief, he pondered for a while and replied, "Father, can you allow me to investigate those who died?"

"They have poison on them. I'm afraid that something will happen and people will bury them. Do you still want to investigate?"

"Forget it then," Yan Shulou thought that he was not a coward and could not find anything out, so he said, "I ask my father to allow my son to inspect the holy beast."

"Well," the emperor nodded and waved his hand, "Go ahead, remember to go through the secret passage, and be careful not to get hurt." Because Yan Zhaoqi often played with the white tiger, Yan Shulou also often got close to the white tiger, and the relationship between each other Very good, so the emperor, who knew this well, was very relieved that Yan Shulou was close to the white tiger.

"Yes, Erchen retire."

After Yan Shulou left, the emperor stared coldly at the direction in which he was leaving, wondering whether he was abnormal: "Yu Jin, what do you think?"

Eunuch Yu bowed and replied: "This old slave dare not speak in vain, but this old slave believes that His Highness King Yan did not do it."

“How come you see?”

"His Highness's eyes didn't flicker, and when he heard that the clue was broken, he didn't show any secret joy, so this old slave thinks that His Highness must not have done it. But whether this old slave's view is correct or not, the Holy One has to judge clearly."

"Yes. Go and tell the people in the Beast Pavilion that if there is nothing unusual, you can take King Yan down on the spot." With the next harsh words, the emperor buried his head in the memorial.

Eunuch Yu broke into a cold sweat silently. On the surface, the Son of Heaven gave people trust, but in essence he was always skeptical.If Yan Shulou thought that the emperor trusted him and tampered with the holy beast, he would have fallen into the emperor's trap. I have to say that the emperor's way of luring the snake out of the hole was really clever.

When Yan Shulou arrived at the Beast Pavilion, the white tiger was lying in the middle and sleeping soundly. Hearing the sound of footsteps, his ears moved backwards, and immediately jumped up from the carefully laid blanket on the ground. When he saw that it was Yan Shulou, he screamed. He rushed over.

With the lesson from last time, Yan Shulou felt a shadow in his heart, and he took a slightly erroneous step, causing the white tiger to jump into the air and land on the ground, howling in dissatisfaction.

"Aww," Baihu screamed pitifully like a child abandoned by his parents. He stood on the ground, kept pushing his head against Yan Shulou's thigh, raised his head from time to time, and opened his wet eyes. Stare at him.

Yan Shu retreated the palace servants who came forward, frowned and squatted down, smoothing the white tiger's hair: "Oh, I'm going to check your body in a moment, you have to be obedient, do you hear me! Don't do it again!" Attack me, or I won't let Zhao Qi accompany you in the future."

"Wow!" The white tiger responded loudly, and with a lift of its paws, it hugged Yan Shulou's neck, rubbing its furry head against the side of his neck.

"That's good!" Yan Shulou smiled faintly, rubbed the white tiger's head, and began to look for suspicious points on it.

After nearly a whole morning, Yan Shulou stood up with a heavy expression, shook the white tiger hair on his clothes, then rubbed the white tiger's hair, walked to the guard, gave a few whispers, and then left Beast Court.

Not long after, news came out from the Beast Pavilion that His Royal Highness King Yan had found the culprit who harmed the holy beast, and when he went to court tomorrow, he would arrest the culprit in public.

When the news fell to Yan Pincheng's ears, he was shocked: "Yan Shulou actually found the murderer?! Isn't all the clues broken? He Chao, what should we do! If Yan Shulou... can't, you Quickly give this hall an idea!"

He Chao is the counselor of Yanpin City, and he replied respectfully: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as the holy beast is still alive, you won't be afraid that King Yan will do anything to you. You just need to wait and see what happens."

"The holy beast is alive... yes," Yan Pincheng took a strong breath and curled the corners of his lips, "Hurry up, send more people to protect the holy beast! Don't let it die, or this guy Yan Shulou will marry you." It will be bad if the disaster falls on this hall!"

"Yes, I will do it immediately."

When he turned around, the respect on He Zhao's face was instantly replaced by ridicule, and a shrewd light shone in his pupils.On the same day, he sent a message to the people in Yanpin City, ordering them to kill the holy beast tonight!

That night, the animal pavilion was silent, the white tiger was rolling on the ground boredly, and it was licking its paws boredly before dinner came.

"Holy Beast, your dinner is here."

"Oh?" The white tiger turned around, heard the sound and ran over, sniffed the food through the man's hand, let out a happy cry, and opened its mouth wide, as if asking someone to feed the food into it. in its mouth.

At this moment, the waiter who delivered the food suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed at the white tiger's vitals!

Whoosh!

Something came out of nowhere from the sky and hit the servant's hand, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

With a howl, the white tiger turned back and threw itself on the bodyguard, opened its bloody mouth and bit it.Unexpectedly, the servant also had two brushes, one turned over to avoid the attack, turned his backhand into a palm, and entangled with the white tiger. After a period of stalemate, the servant slammed on the waist of the white tiger with a palm, and the white tiger lay on the ground after howling in pain. get up.

The servant picked up the dagger, lit up his eyes, and stabbed at the white tiger again, but at this moment, a person fell from the sky and hit the servant's palm with his backhand.

"It's you?!"

"It's you?!"

"My lord, he..."

boom!Before the words were finished, a person kicked in the door, and many guards rushed in like a tide, and the lights were turned on in an instant, clearly illuminating the two people who were fighting, and the assassin was actually a new servant who took care of Baihu. And the other one was dressed in black all over and covered his face with a black cloth. He didn't know who it was.

"How brave to assassinate holy beasts! Catch them!" Before Yan Shulou's order was issued, the guards surrounded the two men, not expecting the man in black to jump out of thin air long before the guards rushed over. , knocked open the roof, and rushed out with light effort, so fast that even the guards couldn't outflank him.

In contrast, the servant could not escape. He gritted his teeth and was about to take poison to commit suicide when a masked man suddenly fell from the broken roof and pulled the servant to take him up.

How could Yan Shulou let the man go this time? He threw out a palm and slashed at the masked man's back with a strong wind.

The masked man turned sideways, and with a backhand palm, the force of the palm was strong, forcing Yan Shulou's palm back half a point. outside.

Yan Shulou took the opportunity to bully him and hit the masked man's face with his palm. The masked man turned around and faced each other with his palms facing each other.But the masked man met his palms temporarily, and his palm strength was insufficient. With a slip of his palm, Yan Shulou's palm hit the masked man's left shoulder.The masked man let out a soft moan, and shot a cruel look from his eyes.

Yan Shulou froze for a moment, this man's eyes were so slender, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, like a fox staring coldly at its prey.While Yan Shulou was in a daze, the masked man waved his hand, and an unknown object fell to the ground, and white smoke rose instantly. No matter how difficult it was to see, when the vision recovered, the two had disappeared.

Seeing that the guards were going to chase, Yan Shulou yelled: "Slow down!" When everyone stopped, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said with a sneer, "There's no need to chase, the king has his own arrangements, they can't escape. "

"His Royal Highness, then..."

Before the voice fell, he heard the sound of "catching the assassin" rushing from all directions. Yan Shulou frowned and ran out, and found that many guards in the palace were called by whom. There were a large number of people and the scene was chaotic.

The sneer that emerged from the corner of Yan Shulou's mouth was even worse, it was a good trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain!The expression on his face changed rapidly, he grabbed the leader of a group of guards who rushed forward, and deliberately shouted: "Who told you to come here!"

"The humble staff just heard someone shouting that there are assassins in the Beast Pavilion, and they are short of manpower, so they rushed over with them."

"Bastard! I rushed over without looking at who was calling...not good!" Yan Shulou pretended to be shocked, "Hurry up and protect Father!"
