at this time.
In the secret room of the Zhang family.
Mrs. Zhang, the head of the Liu family and several other heads of the family were sitting on chairs, waiting for news of the assassination!
At this time.
"Squeak..."
The door of the secret room opened, and the head of the Zhang family entered and said, "After the troll killers came out of the Huangzhou Prince's Mansion, they were running away, unable to get rid of the Huangzhou guards behind them!"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes brightened: "Did the assassination succeed?"
The heads of the families also had bright eyes!
"I don't know!"
The head of the Zhang family shook his head: "The Huangzhou Prince's Mansion is now heavily guarded. No one knows what's going on inside?"
"Mother, do you want to send someone to pick her up?"
"No!"
Mrs. Zhang quickly stopped: "Wait for the news!"
"If the situation is unclear, you will make many mistakes if you do too much!"
"yes!"
"wait!"
"yes!"
It's quiet again in the secret room!
Everyone closed their eyes and waited for the next news!
Was this assassination successful?
I feel a little panicked!
in addition.
The heads of the families who did not participate in the secret meeting of the Zhang family sat quietly on their beds, waiting for the results of the assassination of the King of Huangzhou to be announced!
Is the King of Huangzhou dead?
Waiting is so painful!
the other side.
Sima Mansion.
Sima Jian's bedroom was brightly lit with candles. Sima Jian got up and got dressed: "What's going on outside?"
"Master, the King of Huangzhou was assassinated, and the people from the Huangzhou Palace are chasing the assassin!"
Sima Jian frowned: "Who did it?"
"It should be Mrs. Zhang!"
"Before the assassination, the Demon Lord's people appeared near Zhang's house. Mrs. Zhang probably had a deal with the Demon Lord!"
"The person who took action this time...should be the troll killer under the Demon Lord!"
"Squeak..."
Sima Jian opened the door with a gloomy expression: "How is King Huangzhou?"
Coachman Shiba shook his head: "I don't know!"
"The Huangzhou Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, and no one knows what's going on inside?"
"Our spies can't get in either!"
"stupid!"
Sima Jian's gloomy face showed an angry look: "These people are really stupid!"
"If the king of Huangzhou is killed... do they really think that the emperor dare not raid their home and destroy their clan?"
"Do they really think they can hide this from the emperor?"
"Master, if something happens to the king of Huangzhou...does the emperor really dare to kill off the wealthy family?"
"dare!"
Sima Jian narrowed his eyes and said: "All along, the emperor's ultimate goal has not been to build a powerful Great Xia Empire, but to open the Jixia Underground Palace and become an immortal!"
"Now, whoever kills my clever son-in-law is the emperor's enemy and a mortal enemy!"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Coachman Shiba's mind: "Master, is there a possibility..."
"What's possible?"
Sima Jian's eyes widened: "If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
"yes!"
Coachman Shiba said seriously: "Shiba Guess Mrs. Zhang is betting with various families...betting that the emperor will not fall out with them because of a dead King of Huangzhou, and will not kill each family for a dead man." Destroy the country!"
"Huh......"
Sima Jian was a little surprised: "Shiba, you have become smarter!"
Shiba touched the back of his head honestly!
Sima Jian thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Zhang did this because she was lucky enough to do this!"
"However, the emperor did not get the throne just because of luck... If something happens to my smart son-in-law this time, the emperor will never let them go!"
"Eighteen, although the Sima family is not involved in this matter, the emperor will definitely anger the Sima family and order the secret guards to make various preparations!"
"yes!"
At this time, Sima Mei was seen trotting into the hospital: "Father, is there any news about him?"
I saw Sima Mei with disheveled hair, wearing a loose pajamas, standing in the snow with her bare feet, her eyes full of worry.
"Why......"
Sima Jian sighed softly: "Idiot! Idiot!"
"Don't worry, he will be fine!"
"real?"
"certainly!"
Sima Jian raised his eyelids: "He didn't die in the battle in Huangzhou, will he die in this kind of assassination?"
"That's true!"
Sima Mei finally calmed down and saluted, "It's my daughter who is rude!"
"Go back to sleep now!"
After saying that, Sima Mei turned and left!
"Meier!"
Sima Jian still couldn't help but call her out: "Don't go out, it's very chaotic outside. If you are caught by someone with intentions, the Sima family will be implicated... He will really be fine!"
"good!"
Sima Mei is gone!
At this time.
Steward Sima rushed in and said: "Master, the emperor has ordered you to enter the palace immediately to see the emperor!"
"good!"
"Eighteen, let's go!"
"yes!"
at this time.
The imperial city is brightly lit.
On the city wall, the golden-armored Imperial Guards paid close attention to what was going on outside, with their swords and guns unsheathed and their arrows cocked, it was like a war was coming!
In the imperial study room.
The emperor stood at the door, listening to the noise outside: "Old man, what happened outside?"
Eunuch Wei quickly ran to Emperor Xia, breathing heavily: "Your Majesty, a killer entered Huangzhou's palace at night to assassinate the prince!"
Emperor Xia raised his eyelids, twitched his ears, looked into the void and said, "Xiao Jiu will move into the palace tomorrow, so those who want to kill him have to do it tonight!"
"snort......"
Emperor Xia's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "By assassinating my prince...do you think I am really dead?"
"Who did it?"
"The troll slayer under the Demon Lord!"
Eunuch Wei knew all about the assassination: "Today, the Demon Lord appeared outside Zhang's house. Immediately afterwards, several mysterious people entered Zhang's house, and the assassination took place at night!"
"What a Zhang family!"
Emperor Xia said gloomily: "Are you betting that I won't dare to attack them?"
"Is there something wrong with Xiao Jiu?"
"It's not clear yet!"
Eunuch Wei quickly replied: "After the assassination, the Huangzhou Palace was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to approach. No one knew what was going on inside!"
"Those assassins haven't been caught yet?"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei frowned: "The killer sneaked into the Huangzhou Prince's Mansion silently, and then he was chased out of the mansion, running wildly on the roof. The people from the Huangzhou Prince's Mansion kept beating the gongs behind him, chasing. It was very lively, but I never caught up!”
"oh?"
Emperor Xia thought thoughtfully: "The pursuit is very lively... but you can't catch up?"
"yes!"
"This is not like what the Huangzhou Palace does!"
"This old slave doesn't think it's the same!"
"Why is the Royal Palace of Huangzhou chasing assassins all over the city?"
"have no idea!"
Suddenly, Emperor Xia's eyes flashed with excitement: "Old man, go to Huangzhou Prince's Mansion on your behalf to see if Xiao Jiu is okay?"
"yes!"
"If Xiaojiu is fine, ask me... why did he chase the assassins all over the city?"
"Can I help you?"
"yes!"
"Order the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department to lead a team to monitor. If Xiaojiu's people need help, we will help unconditionally!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei thought for a while and then reported: "Your Majesty, in the evening, someone from the Huangzhou Palace came to see the old slave and said that they had found traces of the leader of the Rebirth Cult. The old slave sent the deputy commander out and he has not come back yet!"
"oh?"
Emperor Xia's eyes brightened, he looked into the void and murmured: "Then the assassination tonight will be very interesting!"
"Go to Huangzhou Prince's Mansion and have a look!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei was ordered to leave!
At this time.
Emperor Xia stared at the night sky, his eyes full of curiosity: "Xiaojiu, what are you trying to do by driving these assassins all over the city?"
