The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 78 Jing Ke stabs Qin
"what!"

"emperor!"

The ministers were shocked.

Xiao Wu was slapped heavily on the chest by Murong Chuan beside him, spit out a mouthful of blood, was thrown flying several meters, and died instantly.

But there was no surprise in his eyes before he died, only endless hope and nostalgia.

The small five-pointed dart pierced Zhao Dongting's chest.Fortunately, the five-pointed dart only pierced the clothes, but failed to penetrate.

As soon as Murong Chuan killed Xiao Wu, he looked at Zhao Dongting, seeing that the five-pointed dart failed to penetrate, his eyes froze slightly.

"hateful!"

Li Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, furious, but Xiao Wu was dead, so he was at a loss as to what to do.

Zhao Dongting looked down at the five-pointed dart stuck in front of his chest, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out.He didn't expect that the stern-looking young man would use such a method to assassinate himself.He obviously didn't even think about getting out alive, he was a dead man.

Jing Ke assassinates Qin!
Raising his head, Zhao Dongting looked deeply at Murong Chuan.

Murong Chuan knelt down on the ground, "Father's death penalty!"

Liu Hongyi's face was pale, and when he came back to his senses, he also fell to his knees: "The final crime is death!"

He never thought that Xiao Wu would be an assassin.

Zhao Dongting stared at Murong Chuan for a few seconds before raising his hand to pull out the five-pointed dart.The assassin was brought by Murong Chuan, he had to doubt it, but Murong Chuan shouted out the moment Xiao Wu had just started, and killed Xiao Wu, he couldn't decide whether Murong Chuan had something to do with it .

Thinking of the cold light just now, Zhao Dongting was still full of fear in his heart.

If he hadn't been assassinated one after another before, he would have been prepared to wear a golden silk armor under the dragon robe.This five-pointed dart has already killed him.

The atmosphere in the political hall had frozen to the extreme, and many ministers looked at Xiao Wu on the ground in horror.

"Your Majesty, wait!"

Just when Zhao Dongting's hand was about to touch the poison dart, Li Yuanxiu suddenly shouted beside him, and pinched Zhao Dongting's hand with his hand.

Zhao Dongting was slightly taken aback.

Li Yuanxiu tore off a corner of his clothes, and carefully pulled out the five-pointed dart stuck in Zhao Dongting's chest.

When Murong Chuan saw this, his heart sank, and he was secretly annoyed.

There was a strange luster faintly on the dart, and the venom was quenched impressively.

Li Yuanxiu put it in front of his nose and smelled it, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Your Majesty, there is poison on this dart."

When Zhao Dongting heard this, his heart suddenly became colder.This assassin is still poisoning the dart, if the dart cuts his skin, he is afraid that his life may be in danger.

"Humph!"

After snorting heavily, Zhao Dongting looked down at Murong Chuan, and asked in a deep voice, "Murong Chuan, do you have something to say?"

Of course he suspected Murong Chuan, and now his heart was full of killing intent.In just half a year since coming to the Southern Song Dynasty, he was almost killed by assassins several times in succession.

"emperor……"

Murong Chuan kowtowed his head to the ground, "The grass people really don't know that this traitor is boldly assassinating in the name of presenting treasures, and ask the emperor to come down."

Liu Hongyi was trembling with anger, but knowing that he was responsible for this matter, he also said: "The general will not investigate, and bring the gangsters, please punish the emperor!"

Zhao Dongting glanced at Liu Hongyi lightly.

Naturally, he could trust Liu Hongyi, and with Liu Hongyi's character, he would never do such a thing.

A strange look flashed in his eyes, Zhao Dongting said: "Forget it, General Liu, you must have been deceived by the thieves, I don't blame you."

After speaking, he looked at Murong Chuan again, and said, "But Lord Murong, this assassin is from your Xiulin Castle, you have to explain to me."

Just because he can trust Liu Hongyi doesn't mean he can trust Murong Chuan.Although Murong Chuan seems to be quite benevolent, there is a saying in this world that goes, "Knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart."

Murong Chuan kowtowed: "This, this Xiaowu is indeed from my Xiulin Castle. This time he followed the imperial army to destroy the pirates, and this morning he suddenly reported to the grassroots that he got a very strange weapon. The grassroots have seen it , found out that it was a Yuchang sword, and immediately thought of coming to present it to the emperor. Caomin really didn't know that he dared to assassinate him. In the past, in Xiulin Castle, he was honest and didn't talk much. Caomin..."

"Ugh……"

As he spoke, he sighed heavily, slapped himself hard, and said again: "The grass people are confused, please forgive me!"

His slap was extremely heavy, with a crisp sound, half of his face soon became swollen.

Zhao Dongting saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and his eyes were even more suspicious. After pondering, he said: "Even so, you are at fault in this matter. For the sake of your Xiulin Castle following the army to hunt for thieves, I will spare you punishment. You go back!"

Xiao Wu was killed, and now there is no evidence to prove his death. Zhao Dongting knew that even if Murong Chuan instigated this matter, there is nothing he can do about Murong Chuan now.

He was a little afraid of Murong Chuan coming.

If he really didn't know about it, that would be fine.But if he was instigating behind the scenes, then his mind would be too deep.

With the assassination of a dead man like Xiao Wu, if he shoots Xiao Wu to death, even if the assassination fails, he can completely escape the suspicion.Moreover, if he was acting just now, then this person was really cruel to him, and Zhao Dongting felt pain even hearing the sound of that slap.

Those who are cruel to themselves will only be crueler to their enemies.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Chuan got up from the ground, seemingly shocked, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the hall.

The officials in the hall looked at Liu Hongyi who was still kneeling on the ground.

Like Su Liuyi and the others, there was already an angry look on their faces, if it wasn't for being in the court and knowing that Zhao Dongting hated the rivalry of officials, they would probably have to scold Liu Hongyi to death.

When this incident happened, Zhao Dongting lost all interest, waved his hands and said: "If nothing happens, let's disperse!"

At this time, Su Liuyi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

Zhao Dongting said, "What's the matter?"

Su Liuyi said: "The emperor once said that the three armies will start the martial arts meeting when General Liu leads the army back. Do you want to continue now?"

Just now Zhao Dongting was only thinking about Xiulinbao and Murongchuan, but he forgot about it. Hearing this, he said: "Well, Lord Su arranged it. The sooner the three armies will meet, the better. If the preparations are made properly, it can start on another day. If I have time, I will also go to see the majesty of our soldiers."

Su Liuyi cupped his hands: "I take orders."

Then, the rest of the ministers were fine, so they announced the disbandment of the court and left one after another.

Zhao Dongting just kept Liu Hongyi.

By this time, Liu Hongyi knelt on the ground and did not get up, his face full of shame.

Zhao Dongting got off the dragon couch and said, "General Liu, get up, I really don't want to blame you."

Liu Hongyi said: "The last general's carelessness caused the thief to get close to the emperor, he should be punished."

Zhao Dongting stepped forward, helped Liu Hongyi up, and said: "The incident has already happened, and it's useless to punish you. Just pay attention next time. Tell me how Murong Chuan asked you to bring him to see me." ?”

Liu Hongyi's eyes were slightly red, and he described in detail what happened in front of the barracks.

After hearing this, Zhao Dongting frowned and became thoughtful.

According to what Liu Hongyi said, Murong Chuan originally asked him to present the Fish Intestine Sword on his behalf. From this point of view, it seems that this matter was really not planned by Murong Chuan.However, Zhao Dongting always felt that things would not be so simple.

Especially the matter of Sha Wanli fleeing to Xiulin Castle still makes him puzzled.

Savanli was a coincidence, and so was the assassination.Are there really so many coincidences in this world?
Just thinking about it carefully, Murong Chuan really has nothing to do with this matter.If he planned it, he should have persuaded Liu Hongyi to bring him to meet him.

It has to be said that this is Murong Chuan's brilliance.After knowing Liu Hongyi's character, he deliberately retreated to advance, even Zhao Dongting was not sure.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Dongting became a little bored, and said to Liu Hongyi: "General Liu, go down first!"

Liu Hongyi left feeling ashamed.

A guard came in and carried Xiao Wu's body out.

Li Yuanxiu stood beside Zhao Dongting and said softly, "Your Majesty, does this matter have anything to do with General Liu?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "It's absolutely impossible. If General Liu had a different intention, he would not have defected to Lord Geli on Quzhou Island in spite of his wife's life."

Li Yuanxiu bowed slightly and stopped talking.He just said that, and it was just doubts in his heart.

Zhao Dongting glanced at the Yuchang Sword in Li Yuanxiu's hand, and suddenly a sentence from an ancient book describing the Yuchang Sword appeared in his mind, "If you don't follow the law, you can't accept it. A minister kills the emperor, and a son kills the father."

This Fish Intestine Sword is really a sword for assassination.

Lowering his eyes slightly, Zhao Dongting said: "Grandpa, I will reward you with this Yuchang sword. Let's go back to the palace."

Li Yuanxiu was overwhelmed by the flattery, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, how do you reward this kind of treasure to a handicapped old slave?"

Zhao Dongting said indifferently: "This sword is much more powerful in the hands of my father-in-law than in my hands. I don't know how to use a sword, so what's the use of it?"

Because of what happened just now, he didn't have a good impression of this ancient famous swordfish sausage.

Li Yuanxiu no longer refused, but bowed to thank him.

On the other side, Murong Chuan, who was leaving the palace, galloped towards Xiulin Castle with his entourage, his eyes were full of ferociousness, "Damn it, it's so short!"

He never expected that Zhao Dongting would wear body armor all the time.This time the assassination failed, although he was able to get away, he could tell that Zhao Dongting was already suspicious of him.

This made Murong Chuan particularly angry, because Zhao Dongting became suspicious, and he had to be more careful about any actions in the future.Moreover, the assassination of Zhao Dongting will only become more and more difficult to succeed.
