Zhu Youlang was not panicked. He knew that with Lin Hong and Shadow Guards, ordinary martial arts masters could not get in.

Chunlan also woke up. When she heard the sound of swords and swords in the main hall, she was so scared that she rushed into Zhu Youlang's arms.

"Don't be afraid, they can't come in." Zhu Youlang patted her back and comforted her softly.

"Well, with the emperor here, I am not afraid." Chunlan leaned in Zhu Youlang's arms and gradually calmed down.

At this moment, neat footsteps came from afar, followed by Bai Xing's voice: "Hurry up, surround the assassin! Ma Wu, lead a few people to the roof!"

Zhu Youlang heard Bai Xing's voice and knew that the brigade guards had arrived. This time, his heart was completely put back in his stomach, letting Chunlan go, and saying, "Serve me to change my clothes."

Chunlan quickly stood up and served Zhu Youlang to change his clothes.

"Emperor, I am late to protect you. Please punish me!" Chen Bangyan's apology came from outside the hall.

"I'm fine." Zhu Youlang agreed loudly.

"Emperor, there is only one assassin, and he has escaped. Please open the palace gate." Chen Bangyan said.

Haha, this old Chen must be at ease to see me?

Zhu Youlang had already put on his clothes at this time and asked Chunlan to open the door of the side hall and step out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I'm scared to death..." Chen Bangyan saw Zhu Youlang coming out of the hall without any injuries, so he let out a long sigh and collapsed to the ground.

Zhu Youlang saw that behind Chen Bangyan, Bai Xing and a large group of guards were kneeling. Four eunuchs, three palace maids, and four guards were lying at the gate of the main hall, with a pool of blood under each of them, and they were obviously dead!

No wonder there was no sound coming out, and the assassin didn't let them make any sound, which shows how powerful martial arts are!

"Thank you for their family." Zhu Youlang said, and walked into the hall.

After entering the main hall, I found that Long Shu's desk was very messy. The "Summary of Mountain Battles" he had just written lost a page, but there was no trace of turning the rest.

If you look closely, the lost page is the first page, which is a discussion of the importance of mountain combat, and has no substantial content.

Fortunately, if the main content of the latter falls into the hands of the Qing soldiers, the losses will be immeasurable.

However, shouldn't the assassin's target be its own? Why are he interested in "Mountain War Summary"?

Zhu Youlang couldn't figure it out.

After dealing with the bodies of the eunuch palace maids and guards, Bai Xing knelt in front of Zhu Youlang, waved his left hand and slapped himself three times, and his left face immediately became swollen.

"Your Majesty, I am just a pig, please punish me."

"Bai Xing, the assassin has a very high ability and has killed more than a dozen people silently. It is not something you can do if you are a regular guard. However, I will leave you with safety. Your defense is too careless. You only let four guards go?"

Although Zhu Youlang knew that the assassin was very capable, he was still angry about Bai Xing's negligence.

"Your Majesty, the four guards are open, and the secret minister has arranged three places, but they are all killed by the assassin." Bai Xing said.

"Anyway, they are all a group of waste! The assassin killed so many people, but there was no sound at all. He was demoted to the level of the guards and appointed as the deputy general manager of the guards. He allowed you to make meritorious contributions and think carefully about how to do a good job of guarding the guards." Zhu Youlang felt angry, Bai Xing was careless. Although he had the strength and good martial arts skills, he was unwilling to use his brain.

If it weren't for his loyalty, such an important position wouldn't have been handed over to him.

"Your Majesty, I am in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If such a big thing happened, I will be punished by you. I hope the emperor will punish you." Chen Bangyan also knelt on the ground and apologized.

"Forget it, Ling Bin, this matter will be released, and it will be a reminder for you. You should think about it carefully. Deal with this matter in a low-key manner, except for the several Grand Secretary, strictly block the news. In addition, we must step up the investigation of the identity of the assassin to prevent him from assassinating again. Well, this matter has caused such a big disturbance, and the Queen must have heard of it, so I will go and comfort it."

After Zhu Youlang finished speaking, You Chunlan accompanied him to the harem.

Because Li Hong was going to arrange a service for Wu Xin, he was not on duty tonight, so he escaped.

...

"Lin Hong, do you know where the assassin came from?"

When no one was around, Zhu Youlang called out Lin Hong and asked.

"Your Majesty, the slave has not come forward and has always protected the Holy Lord. It was the assassin who drove away by Lin Fu and Lin Qi. According to Lin Fu, the assassin has profound internal skills and excellent sword skills. Judging from his martial arts skills, he is similar to Feng Qingjun, a great thief of flower collection. Even if he is not Feng Qingjun, he must have a connection with him." Lin Hong replied.

"Feng Qingjun?"

"Yes, Feng Qingjun. He comes from Kunlun Mountain and has learned a good martial arts. I don't know which sect it is. In the fourth year of the Tianqi period, he entered the Central Plains alone and specialized in the evil deeds of picking flowers in the southern Zhili area. This man has a bad hobby. He specifically harms the bride's wedding night on other people's houses, and wants to make the groom dumb and let others watch it. He doesn't want human life, but as soon as this happened, the bride's reputation could not be saved, so he could only choose to commit suicide. For this reason, more than a dozen brides died in a year.

There were also grooms who could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide. The government also sent a large number of constables to give rewards to capture them, but because of his martial arts skills, the government had no choice but to deal with him. Later, the Central Plains martial arts world joined forces and more than a dozen masters finally surrounded him in Yangzhou. However, although he seriously injured him, he still let him escape. Some said he fled back to Kunlun, some said he went to the northeast, and some said he came to the south. Anyway, since then, he never dared to show up in the Central Plains again." Lin Hong replied.

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he said, "Damn, why did he get into such a person? Could it be that he really fled to the Northeast and defected to the Tartars?"

At that time, the Tartars were in full swing, and it was reasonable for such a evil thief to surrender to him.

"Can you beat him?" Zhu Youlang was still most concerned about his own safety.

"Your Majesty, I have never fought with him, but judging from the fact that Lin Fu and Lin Qi can tie him, he is not a match for me." Lin Hong said.

"Oh, that's good."

When Zhu Youlang heard that his safety was guaranteed, he felt relieved.

When Lin Hong retreated, Zhu Youlang thought secretly that the most suspected person who had the motivation to assassinate was of course the Qing court, and the second should be Zhu Youjian's relatives. Others should not hate him so much.

Zhu Youjian's relatives are now his younger brother Zhu You'e in Guangzhou. However, according to Ma Jixiang's report, this guy doesn't go out all day and doesn't interact with anyone. He is very honest. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be him.

Then, there is only one possibility for the Qing court.

But in history, the Qing court had no record of assassination. Except for the later Emperor Yongzheng, it was said that he raised a group of "blood droplets" who specialized in assassination activities, other emperors did not hear of this institution.

Moreover, "Blood Drops" are just legends, and they only appear in Liang Yusheng. There are no records in official history, and most of them distort Yongzheng.
