Chapter 74： assassin

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu seem to be calm in the north, but every time they get news from the capital, they can't calm down. After all, they are still in a state of planning. If there is an accident in the capital, can they return to the capital at the first moment?

Everything is unknown.

Although it’s too cold to go out in winter, when it’s not snowing, the people are also bored and go out to have fun.

In the first year of his rebirth, Luo Shuyu saw that Li Mingjin had played a kickball competition. In Gucheng for three years, he was afraid of the invasion of the Ghost Yan clan soldiers every year. He never relaxed and never thought about going out to play.

In the past few years, the strength of the other party was not very clear, but now, they are studying their attack laws all the time, and they have sent a group of spies to the Ghost Yan clan to destroy them. All thirty-six strategies are used in the Ghost Yan royal clan. body. A year has passed, they are still too busy to take care of themselves, let alone Li Mingjin, and they are unaware of the further development of Gucheng. When they react, they have already lost the best time to capture Gucheng.

At this time, Li Mingjin already had an elite army of his own in Gucheng. In terms of equipment and ability, it far surpassed other teams. After three years of training, the scattered group of people in the past are now all full of energy. In other words, compared with the soldiers brought by General Wei at his peak, they were even worse.

Last year, the Ghost Yan clan committed crimes in the future. This year, several tribes of the Ghost Yan clan fought every day. The internal friction was still high, and there was no time to approach Gucheng again. Gucheng got time to recuperate.

Since Gucheng's safety can be guaranteed temporarily, Li Mingjin gave benefits to the people in the winter, and held a winter Cuju competition in Gucheng.

The ice cuju competition was arranged in advance before the winter, and all of them were free to form teams. Now it has reached the final stage, and the four strong teams have stood out.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu went to the venue to watch the final.

The people who went out to watch the game had already sat down in the spectator area. Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were sitting in the windshield shed with two pots of charcoal burning inside. .

Today's Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu are well-received in the common people's stroke, and they are much loved by the people. When they saw them appear, the people spontaneously cheered.

Luo Shuyu stood up and waved at them, actually a little moved. He didn't expect to get such feedback for what he did within his power. It seemed like a good feeling to be remembered.

"What's wrong?" Li Mingjin saw that Luo Shuyu's eyes were slightly red, thinking about what touched him.

Luo Shuyu shook his head: "No, I feel that my efforts really paid off, I'm just a little touched."

Li Mingjin looked over at the public audience area and put his arms around Luo Shuyu's shoulder: "Of course there must be a reward. If it is a white-eyed wolf, I will be the first to let them go."

Luo Shuyu agreed: "Indeed."

The game started immediately, and Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu no longer struggled with the return.

They listened to the referee calling the start of the game and began to watch the Cuju final seriously.

Although it is a folk team, there are always a lot of folk masters. Today's game is very spirited. Although Li Mingjin's performance is not as superb as in the past, it is still very interesting here. As long as the goal is scored, the cheers are full of people's faces. The smile on the top is very simple. If this kind of competition can make everyone happy, why not treat it as a regular competition, which not only trains people's ability to unite, but also mobilizes the participation of the people.

Luo Shuyu told Li Mingjin what she thought. The latter thought it was very good. In the past, there were also Cuju competitions in Beijing, but they were held at indefinite periods.

The championship team was finally decided, and Li Mingjin stepped forward to present them with awards. This was an unprecedented award ceremony. To be able to get the prize presented by Li Mingjin himself, the members of the championship team were so excited that they couldn't even speak.

However, Li Mingjin noticed that one of them was relatively calm, and the smile on his face was very stiff when he took over the prize that Li Mingjin handed over.

The next moment, the prize just handed out suddenly smashed to the ground, and the man pulled a dagger from his arms and stabbed Li Mingjin!

Li Mingjin cleverly avoided this knife. He was already vigilant when awarding awards. It was too late for ordinary people to get the award from the prince himself, but his face was calm, as if he had known this before, and it was difficult not to be noticed by Li Mingjin.

As expected, this person was already prepared!

Suddenly, everyone else was dumbfounded, and there was an assassin!

Li Mingjin is quick to dodge the first stab, and there will be the second and third rounds, but he is already prepared, and the martial arts practice in the past is not in vain. There is no danger, the dark guard behind has already flew over to separate Li Mingjin from the assassins.

It's a pity that Li Mingjin didn't have time to use his whip, but Luo Shuyu was more worried about him at the moment.

Yes, Luo Shuyu is more dangerous than him now. Everyone's attention is on him, but they will ignore Luo Shuyu's safety!

As if to fulfill Li Mingjin's guess, Luo Shuyu is indeed in danger now!

What stabbed Li Mingjin was a dagger, and what was attacking him was a knife!

I just felt that the whip had no room to use, but Li Mingjin really used it now. With a flick of the whip, he blocked the knife that attacked Luo Shuyu. It was even more thrilling than before. It was almost, almost, he was about to lose the love of his life.

Li Mingjin pulled Luo Shuyu behind him: "Yu'er, are you alright!"

Luo Shuyu shook his head, leaned on the chair handle, took advantage of his strength to hide behind Li Mingjin, and said, "Your Highness, be careful!"

In the face of assassins, he was not afraid of assassins, but it was too sudden and a little frightened. When Li Mingjin called him, he came back to his senses.

The dark guards have all come out about this incident, and there are still quite a few assassins, all hiding in the crowd, including where the officials were sitting. Many officials were assassinated, and now there is chaos, and the people are also in chaos.

However, it was the Ghost Yan clan who had been threatened for a long time, and the people quickly started to fight back. Of course, those without weapons did not come forward. They only started to attack when they found weapons.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were supported by General Lin Haiming, and they quickly captured most of the assassins alive. Some assassins killed themselves on the spot after being stabbed. What happened, it was all dead men.

Now, who will feed the dead? Who can raise the dead?

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu hadn't announced that they would continue to compete in the Cuju competition next year.

Chen Rong was not fit to go outside because of his health, but he also heard from the servants that the husband of the third prince was assassinated in the Cuju competition.

As soon as Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu came back, he greeted him with a nervous expression without falsifying: "Your Highness, are you all alright!"

Lin Haiming and Wei Linmu escorted them back, while Wei Linyuan personally interrogated the captured assassins.

Li Mingjin said: "It's okay, send someone to the city to find some doctors to see if any of the people are injured, and give them free treatment. I'll reward them for catching assassins today."

Chen Rong thought that the third prince was quite calm.

In fact, Li Mingjin is not calm at all, these ideas are all from his wife, Luo Shuyu is better to be calm.

Chen Rong received the order and immediately proceeded to handle it. He had won several great victories in the war, and now he is the number one soldier in Li Mingjin's army. No one dared not listen to him, and everyone respected him very much.

This matter must be investigated carefully, who did it?

Was it sent by a foreigner or someone from the capital?

There is absolutely no need for foreigners to raise dead men. If it is not the Ghost Yan clan, it means that these people are from the capital.

There should be a lot of people who still remember them, and they can still treat him as a thorn in their side, both the prince and the fourth prince.

Is the crown prince the keeper of the dead or the fourth prince?

No matter who it is, it shows that they are very anxious now.

Who would rush to get rid of the third prince when Emperor Tiansheng was sick?

Prince? Yan family? Fourth prince?

There are also doubts flashed by Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu, but no matter who they are, they are their enemies.

Luo Shuyu began to recall the events of his previous life. In the eighteenth year of Tiansheng, did anything happen to Li Mingjin?

It seems that since then, Li Mingjin has entered the palace a lot less often. He doesn't care much about Li Mingjin's affairs. Now he thinks about it carefully. According to the current situation, it means that the prince or the fourth prince at that time has already started to attack Li Mingjin.

Both the crown prince and the fourth prince can eliminate Li Mingjin because of the enthronement, and the two have the same purpose.

It would be easy to say if it was found out who raised the dead man.

Luo Shuyu was unscathed this time, but it really scared Li Mingjin enough. After returning to the mansion, his whole body was not as calm as he appeared to be. When he hugged Luo Shuyu, his whole body was shaking.

Li Mingjin: "I almost lost you today."

Luo Shuyu smoothed his back and comforted him: "Why do you think so, I almost lost you, fortunately we are lucky."

Li Mingjin: "How can it be luck, it's our strength, it seems that we are still not very stable in Gucheng, and people take advantage of it."

Luo Shuyu: "We are not immortals, we can't cover everything, but we can use soldiers to block water and cover up. Your Highness, this kind of life may continue in the future, we can't be scared just because of this time, Your Highness, you are not like this. people."

Li Mingjin blamed himself: "But when you encounter an accident, I'm really scared. Am I useless? If I didn't protect you, I'd go with you."

Luo Shuyu had to turn into a confidant and continue to enlighten Li Mingjin: "But in fact, it's not as bad as you think, and I have nothing at all. You said that you were the first to protect people behind you, and you have protected me, haven't you? Use it? In my heart, you are a big hero now."

Li Mingjin kissed Luo Shuyu's forehead: "A hero matches a beauty."

Luo Shuyu nodded: "I'm a beauty." As he spoke, he felt a little shameless.

No matter how calm Luo Shuyu is, he still has lingering fears about what happened today.

In order to prevent Li Mingjin from continuing to think about what happened today, Luo Shuyu simply changed the subject: "His Royal Highness, why don't you ask General Wei how the assassins were interrogated."

Li Mingjin was indeed distracted, and his eyes became sharp: "I'll ask, no, I'll go to the trial in person."

Luo Shuyu said: "His Royal Highness, no matter if you ask or not, don't disrupt our own rhythm. This time there may be a possibility of testing the assassination. The concubine's letter mentioned that the father's mental state is not bad after his illness. , according to her meaning, if there are no accidents, at least a few more years of life, we must stabilize the current situation."

Li Mingjin said he would do it, and immediately got up and went out: "I know, these assassins still deserve to die."

Before going out, Li Mingjin also sent more people to protect Luo Shuyu.

At least when there was an accident on the ice rink, no one around them betrayed. Luo Shuyu felt that Li Mingjin was still too nervous for him.

Does the prince really care about Li Mingjin?

The dead man figured out that he couldn't find anything, and Luo Shuyu didn't have any hope for it. Instead, he was more willing to point the finger at the fourth prince.

Shen Mingyun has a system, and only when the system issues a mission, the fourth prince will take action against them through Shen Mingyun's "suggestion".

There are two advantages to getting rid of Li Mingjin at this time. One is to put the blame on the prince who has been in trouble recently. The other is to put Li Mingjin in front of the stage to attract firepower and let others see his current ability. Tiansheng The emperor's adult princes are not only the prince and the fourth prince, but also Li Mingjin. The Yan family should also deal with the third prince, not just the fourth prince.

Besides, Emperor Tiansheng didn't quite favor Concubine Mei recently. If the third prince was not favored, how could Concubine Mei regain favor.

As Luo Shuyu had guessed, the assassins really didn't get any useful information. All these people were dealt with in the end, and none were left.

Li Mingjin and others all understood that since there were dead men, it meant that the power in the capital had begun to turn to them.

What he did in Gucheng would soon be passed back to the capital.

Li Mingjin, who had been silent for many years, gradually appeared in front of everyone, and what he had done in the north was quickly passed back to the capital.

Now, the Prince and Prime Minister Yan no longer keep a distance, their relationship is even closer, and the two are already tied to the same boat.

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the 30th day of the new year.

A letter from Prime Minister Yan called the prince to Yan's house.

When the prince received the letter from Prime Minister Yan, his heart skipped a beat.

He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion relatively low-key, entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight to Prime Minister Yan's study, and they were always here to talk about things, and this time was no exception.

Prime Minister Yan was indeed waiting for him in the study, but this time Prime Minister Yan did not talk to him directly, but closed the door, turned an ancient porcelain vase on the ancient shelf, and an invisible door suddenly opened.

"Prince, what we are going to talk about today is very important, go inside and say,"

The prince did not doubt that he was there, and when they talked about something that was not of great importance: "Well."

The secret room was indeed very quiet, but besides the two of them, there was another person that the prince knew too well.

The man turned his head, and the prince exclaimed: "Mother! Why are you here!"

Yes, it is the current queen. She arrived at the prime minister's mansion one step earlier than the prince, but she came out of the palace quietly.

Today's Empress Xiaotian Shengdi is five years old and has just passed his forty-fifth birthday. She still has her charm. She has been in the post for many years. Even if she puts on ordinary women's clothes, she still has the majesty she has accumulated over the years. She has been worried for many years. Yes, but it's really hard to tell.

Prime Minister Yan shook his head helplessly, and said to the queen, "Empress, just tell the prince."

The prince's heart was beating very fast since he entered the door. He noticed what his grandfather and mother wanted to say, and suddenly wanted to escape from this secret room. He didn't want to hear anything!

The author has something to say: Three Princes: Daughter-in-law, listen carefully, you are a spy who steals my company's business secrets. I was caught by the smart CEO. I decided to punish you with love and let you beg me for mercy. ~

Luo Shuyu: You put medicine in the wine that punished me. I changed the glass when you weren't paying attention, so you drank that glass of wine with medicine. Who knows, you were allergic to a certain medicine and died suddenly in bed.

Third Prince: ...I have to do it all over again, I can live!

Luo Shuyu: Huh.
