561 The Soldier(1/2)
"Your Majesty!"
The deputy envoy of Liang State rushed towards him, crying and shouting as if in mourning.
At this time, the group of assassins either committed suicide by taking poison, or broke out and escaped, and Li Jiye was already safe.
However, at the beginning, Li Jiye seemed to have been punched by an assassin and fell into a coma. He has not woken up to this day.
Li Jiye was lying there, surrounded by plainclothes guards, with only Li Qingnu standing by.
Zhu Xiuyuan and the others began to study those assassins.
However, since they were all assassins, they must be very clean, and nothing was found that could prove their identities.
But it was not without discovery. Yan Dashan discovered that the face of an assassin was different from that of the Central Plains people. He looked...actually like someone from the Tibetan Empire on the southwest plateau.
This was a meaningful discovery. Zhu Xiuyuan and the others gathered there to discuss this issue.
Just at this time, the deputy envoy of Liang State came with his people.
He screamed and threw himself next to Li Jiye, as if mourning, which made Li Qingnu's eyelids jump.
It's really unlucky.
But it's not easy to drive away. After all, this envoy has brought people here, and he is still from the Liang Kingdom...
"Uncle Jiang Cheng!"
The deputy envoy of Liang State howled for a while, suddenly stood up, shouted, and turned to stare at Zhu Xiuyuan.
Eyes like swords!
The Liang soldiers he brought with him also gathered around him in time and gathered behind him, all looking coldly at Zhu Xiuyuan opposite him.
"Uncle Jiang Cheng colluded with the assassins to plot the life of our envoy from the Liang Kingdom. He is guilty of a serious crime. When someone comes, please capture Uncle Jiang Cheng first and then send him back to the Liang Kingdom tomorrow, at your Majesty's disposal!"
Deputy Ambassador Liang Guo waved his hand and put a "hat" on Zhu Xiuyuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Liang soldiers, who were as big and round as iron towers, immediately surrounded him, preparing to capture Zhu Xiuyuan.
"presumptuous!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Behind Zhu Xiuyuan, Nayan Dashan and Dong Shuzhen immediately jumped out, protected him in front of Zhu Xiuyuan, and faced the approaching Liang soldiers.
At the same time, plainclothes generals from the Jiangcheng Bofu also gathered around and confronted the Liang soldiers.
Although the troops on both sides stopped, the smell of gunpowder suddenly increased, and they saw that a conflict was about to break out.
The people watching the excitement around them retreated one after another, fearing that they would be offended.
"Stop it all!"
As the swords were drawn, a stern voice suddenly sounded.
But it turned out that it was Li Qingnu who realized something was wrong and she had to step forward.
If Liang's deputy envoy is allowed to continue causing trouble, it may cause even greater trouble.
"The assassin has nothing to do with Uncle Jiang Cheng. I have seen it with my own eyes. You and others should stand down!"
Li Qingnu stepped forward. Although her temples were crooked and her clothes were still stained with dust, she came slowly, without getting angry and showing off her aura as Princess Anle of the Liang Kingdom.
The people of the Liang Kingdom were fierce in their folk customs. Even the women in the boudoir were good at it, and they preferred to ride horses and shoot arrows.
As a princess, Li Qingnu is even more outstanding.
It's just that Li Qingnu didn't show that side in front of Zhu Xiuyuan and the others.
Even if she strays a little bit, her royal brother will preach to her, let alone show her martial side.
But now, if the tiger doesn't show off its power, I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress those big and round Liang soldiers.
"Your Highness, this matter is really strange. Uncle Jiang Cheng is too suspicious..." Deputy Envoy Liang immediately bowed and lowered his hands.
The Liang soldiers all turned around in a daze, neither retreating nor continuing to capture Zhu Xiuyuan.
Li Qingnu glared at the deputy envoy of the Liang Kingdom, and then stared at the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom. He raised his eyebrows and shouted sweetly: "I am also an envoy. You don't listen to the envoy, but you listen to the orders of the deputy envoy. You
Are you going to rebel?"
"I don't dare to wait!"
The soldiers of Liang State hurriedly retreated.
"your Highness……"
"Shut up!" Li Qingnu turned around like an angry tigress and stared at Deputy Envoy Liang Guo: "I remember that the emperor once punished you not to give permission and not to step out of the post house!"
"Why are you here now? Are the emperor's words falling on deaf ears?" Li Qingnu was not angry and assertive, and her temperament was perfectly controlled.
"Uh...this...your highness the princess..." Liang Guo's deputy envoy hesitated.
"Uncle Jiang Cheng, Uncle Jiang Cheng..." Just at this moment, three eunuchs arrived, one in front was Eunuch Zhang, and behind him were two young eunuchs.
The father-in-law's voice was extremely loud. When he shouted, he immediately drew everyone's attention.
"Uncle, Your Majesty summoned you urgently... It turns out that Princess Anle and the deputy envoy of Liang are also here, so our family will not make another trip. Your Majesty also invites Princess Anle and the deputy envoy to come to the palace to discuss matters..."
After Eunuch Zhang finished speaking in one breath, he held his waist and breathed heavily.
This matter was urgent and he had to run all the way here, which was very tiring for him.
Zhu Xiuyuan stepped forward, cupped his hands to Li Qingnu and said, "Your Highness, this matter is strange. We might as well enter the palace and discuss it carefully with everyone..."
"Uncle Jiang Cheng..." In formal occasions, Li Qingnu did not call him senior brother. "Brother Huang has not woken up yet. I need to be by your side at all times and cannot leave him."
"Your Highness, please go down. Your Highness, please rest assured that I will definitely escape to justice!"
Liang Guo's deputy envoy stared at Zhu Xiuyuan with a pair of eagle eyes: "No one who colludes with assassins to assassinate the prince can escape!"
Zhu Xiuyuan frowned for a moment, but didn't take it to heart. He just said, "I think it's okay. What do you think, Princess?"
Li Qingnu thought for a while, the deputy envoy of Liang State was, after all, the deputy envoy of Liang State. Now that she couldn't leave, that was the only way she could do it, so she nodded in agreement.
Zhu Xiuyuan briefly explained to Dong Shuzhen and the others, and prepared to go into the palace to discuss the matter with Liang Guo's deputy envoy.
At this time, Dong Cheng arrived with his people.
After figuring out the situation, Dong Cheng also followed him into the palace. Because Dong Cheng was the governor of Runzhou, he had to bear the responsibility for such a big thing in Beijing, and he was also invited to the palace to discuss matters.
As soon as everyone took two steps, the young Sikou arrived with the police. After everyone exchanged a few words, the young Sikou followed them into the palace.
So, Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng, Shao Sikou, Liang Guo's deputy envoy, etc., under the guidance of Eunuch Zhang, rushed straight to the palace.
at the same time.
The ministers of the court, such as the Prime Minister Li Zhong, the six ministers, the King of Zhongshan, the generals of the armies near the capital, and other relevant yamen chiefs also rushed to the palace.
The Royal Guards stationed in the capital went out in full force, sealed the city gates, and conducted large-scale arrests, causing panic among the people in the city.
Everyone went home and hid for fear of getting into trouble.
The entire capital was suddenly deserted, as if it were a wartime situation.
Jinling Palace.
When King Jinling heard the news, he was overjoyed.
He hurried to the living room of the mansion and invited his brother, King Kuaiji, and Chen Dongyi, the counselor of the mansion, to discuss matters in the living room.
After a while, counselor Chen Dongyi arrived, but his servants said that King Kuaiji was not in the palace and had gone somewhere.
So the King of Jinling ignored the King of Kuaiji and only discussed with Chen Dongyi.
"Sir, this is really a great happy event, hahaha..."
The King of Jinling was so happy that he laughed so hard that he laughed so hard.
"Not to mention that Zhu Xiuyuan was almost killed by an assassin. Just the fact that King Qian of Liang Kingdom, who was traveling with him, was almost assassinated in front of Dong Yulou's gate is enough for Zhu Xiuyuan to drink!"
"Sir, you have always been resourceful. Please make a plan for me, sir, how to use this matter to bring Zhu Xiuyuan's army together. If you can completely overthrow him, that would be even better!"
King Jinling had a cheerful smile on his face and looked at Chen Dongyi expectantly.
Chen Dongyi's eyelids twitched, but he was not in a hurry to speak. He just twirled his beard with one hand and put the other behind his back, turned around, and walked several steps.
Looks like he's thinking.
King Jinling did not disturb him and just waited quietly.
This was really a good opportunity. He secretly decided to seize this opportunity and trick Zhu Xiuyuan.
Chen Dongyi twirled his beard with one hand. After walking for several steps, he suddenly turned around, stopped twirling his beard, and his eyes shone with wisdom.
And he said loudly: "No, Your Majesty, we should not harm Uncle Jiang Cheng, but should give him a strong help to help him overcome this difficulty!"
What?
King Jinling still had an expectant smile on his face. Hearing these words, why does it feel wrong?
He couldn't help but pick his ears with his hands, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"Sir, you..."
