Chapter 165 Assassination

When the sun rose and there was no more purple light in the sky, Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Mingxuan left the Mingwu Hall together. Chu Zhiping and Chu Zhichuan went to the Zhenwu Division, and Chu Mingxuan followed him to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Mao.

Chu Zhiyao had no work for the time being, so he continued to practice martial arts in the Mingwu Hall. Chu Mingxuan was very proud.

He finally found a way out and transferred to the Rites Yamen.

The two arrived at the Rites Yamen and were greeted with respectful greetings all the way. It was no different from before. More than ten days had passed, as if it was yesterday. The two separated and he came to his house.

Early on, I discovered that Gao Lingfeng was engrossed in reading files, with a tired look on his face and a sore on the corner of his mouth.

"Sir!" Hearing the sound of footsteps, when Chu Zhiyuan opened the curtain and came in, Gao Lingfeng stood up to greet him and saluted with clasped fists. Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master Gao."

"My lord is finally back!" Gao Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

A clerk served the tea. Chu Zhiyuan sat down in his seat, put the tea cup on the table, and looked at Gao Lingfeng.

Before Chu Zhiyuan could ask questions, Gao Lingfeng said: "Sir, a big incident just happened. Someone assassinated Cheng Tianfeng, the crown prince of Dazhen." Chu Zhiyuan said nonchalantly: "After all, someone couldn't help but take action?"

He can detect alliance actions, but it is difficult to completely stop individual actions, and impulsive actions are difficult to guard against. Cheng Tianfeng is protected by Lingshuang Iron Cavalry, and even a grandmaster cannot do anything about it.

Gao Lingfeng told what happened.

A martial arts master assassinated Cheng Tianfeng in the street and was directly killed by Ling Shuang's cavalry. As a result, it aroused public outrage. Several martial arts masters also took action and were killed. This has been widely spread in Yujing City.

The people were very angry and felt that it was wrong to assassinate Cheng Tianfeng, but after all, he was not hurt. It would be too cruel for Lingshuang's cavalry to directly kill people. Are they used to killing people in Dajing?

Old grudges and old grudges came to mind, rekindling the hatred towards Dazhen, and for a while, people's resentment boiled over.

Many people felt that they should not reconcile with Dazhen or ally with Dazhen. Dajing should defeat Dazhen first and then severely injure Dameng. Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing after hearing these unnatural arguments.

This is all about emotions, only focusing on venting without looking at the real situation.

If Dajing really wants to be so strong, he really doesn’t need to unite with Dazhen. He can destroy Dazhen with his left hand and Dameng with his right hand, and then he can dominate the world. Why would he have to wrong himself like this?

"Especially because we did not arrest the murderous Lingshuang Iron Cavalry, it aroused public outrage. They all accused our court of being weak, being tough on our own people, and being a weakling towards Dazhen." "...Where did the assassin come from?"

Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.

He was not completely absorbed by what was happening in front of him. Instead, he thought about more, wondering if there was a big hand behind it. "We have already investigated these people, and they are all ordinary martial arts people."

"Not a disciple of a major sect?"

"The first one is a person who practices martial arts passed down from his family. The others are also from small sects and have no background." "The one who practices martial arts passed down from his family..., where are the family members?"

"They're all gone." "What a coincidence."

Gao Lingfeng said slowly: "My subordinates also suspect that it was Da Meng who did it to sow discord between us and Dazhen. But this case is too big and attracts everyone's attention. We need ironclad proof." Chu Zhiyuan said. : "It can only be said that it was too coincidental... when I saw the Lingshuang Iron Cavalry, I knew that I couldn't do anything. To assassinate him would be to commit suicide, and the ants still managed to survive."

Before this trip to announce the mission, he would have thought of Dameng without hesitation, but now he was not sure that it was Dameng. It might be someone else.

"Let the people from the Zhenwu Division investigate this person carefully and dig hard to see if they can dig out anything." Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's probably difficult." He couldn't help but think of what Li Haoyuan said, Dameng Yong Secret spies often have long-term plans and long-term plans, and they are impossible to guard against.

If it was really Dameng's secret spy, I'm afraid nothing could be found. He cast his gaze in the direction of Sifang Pavilion.

When he came out of the Rites Yamen and passed Tianbaosi, he stopped. Zou Fang behind him also stopped.

Guo Chi and the four others also stopped.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the door of Tianbaosi, but finally did not go in.

No matter how efficient Tianbaosi is, it is impossible to settle his merits now. He will have to wait at least ten days. After ten days, what level of merit will he be?

Chu Zhiyuan continued to walk out, preparing to go to his new house to practice.

After practicing the exercises in the morning, I did not go back to the Prince's Mansion for lunch at noon, but went directly to the Duke's Mansion. I had already sent someone to inform the Duke's Mansion. The area of ​​the cave has now been expanded to 300 meters.

The information about everyone and things within a range of three hundred meters was reflected in his mind one by one, as clear as the lines on his palm.

If before the fusion of the Wonderful Spiritual Bead, information within a three hundred-meter range flooded into the brain at the same time, I would have been dizzy and unable to bear it. Now I feel relaxed and free from any burden.

He suddenly frowned and paused.

Zou Fang and the others followed for a while.

Chu Zhiyuan continued walking and glanced at Mingyue Tower. Mingyue Tower is one of the top restaurants in Yujing.

Extraordinary food that ordinary people can afford, the guests coming and going are either rich or expensive, and they are dressed in fine clothes. Mingyue Tower is very lively.

What he saw through his super-sensory vision was that in a room on the third floor of Mingyue Building, Cheng Tianfeng and Li Hongzhao were sitting opposite each other. The table was filled with a variety of breakfast dishes.

Apart from the two people in the house, there were only two maids and one eunuch. Ling Shuang Iron Cavalry was in the other two rooms on the third floor.

In these two rooms, there are half Lingshuang Cavalry and half Cloud-Taking Cavalry. The atmosphere in the three rooms is equally tense, tense and on the verge of breaking out.

Li Hongzhao's smile was as bright as a flower. Cheng Tianfeng was dazzled by the sight, but he forced himself to calm down. He deliberately kept his face gloomy and cheered up.

He knew that Li Hongzhao was very clever and he must not take it lightly to avoid being tricked.

"Cheng Shizi, you have offended the public. You are used to being domineering in Shenjing, so you are doing the same thing in Yujing." "Is Your Highness going to spare the assassin's life and wait for him to be grateful?"

"But this is the jade capital of other people's great scenery, not your sacred capital." Cheng Tianfeng snorted.

I heard the provocation in her words.

But whether in Shenjing or Yujing, there is only one word for assassins: kill.

Now it's good that the assassin was right. Instead, he, the one who was assassinated, became the target of thousands of people. It's simply ridiculous! It means he has a good temper. Otherwise, he would have walked away long ago, no matter what the two-country alliance is!

"Prince Cheng, do you feel aggrieved?" Li Hongzhao said with a smile.

Cheng Tianfeng suddenly smiled, his eyes burning, staring into her beautiful eyes: "Your Highness did it, right?" "What?" Li Hongzhao was startled, then laughed: "Do you think that assassin is someone sent by me?"

"Isn't it?" Cheng Tianfeng still stared at her eyes without blinking: "Your Highness's move is really clever, Cheng Mou admires it!" Li Hongzhao smiled and said: "To be honest, I did mean this, but he took the first step. Got it!"

Cheng Tianfeng twitched his lips.

Li Hongzhao hummed: "I didn't expect that besides me, besides us Dameng, there are still people who don't want you to unite!"

Cheng Tianfeng frowned.

Li Hongzhao's eyes were always calm, even when he smiled he was indifferent.

If you can't tell whether it's true or false, then just infer based on the facts. Li Hongzhao is just talking hard.

I really can’t think of anyone else in the world besides Dameng who would destroy the alliance between the two countries. He can’t be a passionate martial artist, right? I’m really not afraid of death, and there’s no need to assassinate him on the street, in a restaurant, or in a library. , even disguised as a woman, it is easier to assassinate him. Why must he rush to Lingshuang Cavalry to assassinate him in full view of everyone?

This obviously has ulterior motives and is deliberately intended to arouse public anger. It is a conspiracy!

If it is a conspiracy, then we have to go beyond the specific means and look at the results and who benefits. Whoever benefits is the one who did it. It is obviously Dameng.

Li Hongzhao waved his jade hands: "If you don't believe it, forget it. Anyway, we Dameng have been wronged once or twice." Cheng Tianfeng said: "Your Highness invited me here, isn't it just for a meal?"
