The night was long, and there was an uproar outside the west city, shouting and drinking, the common people were excited, and the soldiers guarding the city felt like they were facing a big enemy. In comparison, the south city was quiet.

On the streets of Nancheng, teams of Wu Jingwei are patrolling the various squares of Nancheng, and the whole city is banned. No matter how the people in the capital feel, they are hiding at home as much as possible. Nancheng Fangshi has been closed, and people are terrified. .

Zeng Yifang is just one of the many workshops in Nancheng. After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of Zeng Yi Department of Wu Jingwei did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Patrolling the streets and alleys of Yifang, he personally led more than ten people to walk in Zeng Yifang.

It was dark at night, and the turmoil outside the west city gate did not affect the mood of Zeng Yifang's officers and soldiers.

After patrolling several streets, alleys and alleys, there was no one there, and when I turned a street, I heard someone beside me exclaim in surprise: "Boss, look, over there...!"

Everyone followed the sound, but saw that not far from the street, there were several corpses lying here and there. The long street was deserted, and those corpses were very conspicuous in the middle of the street.

The head of Zeng Yifang was taken aback, he drew his sword in his hand, and everyone behind him drew their swords and ran over quickly. Before they got close, everyone saw that the corpses were all wearing the armor of Wu Jingwei, one by one. His face changed in astonishment, and someone already lost his voice: "Boss, it seems...it seems to be our own brother...!"

The Wujing Guards in Zeng Yifang were divided into three teams, and the other two teams had about ten people each. At this time, there seemed to be about ten corpses lying here and there in the street.

Everyone rushed forward, and the head of the department had already said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be careful, I'm afraid there are rebels ambushing around here." While guarding all around, the people approached, and the two Wu Jingwei quickly rushed to the side of the corpse. Seeing that the corpse was facing upside down, he immediately reached out to turn the corpse over.

Just as the corpse was turned over, the two soldiers suddenly changed their colors. After turning over, the "corpse" suddenly opened its eyes. Before they could react, two short knives had already been inserted into their lower abdomens.

The eyes of these two men burst into flames, the Wu Jingwei behind had already noticed the movement, and the head of the department had already shouted: "It's not our brothers, they are the rebellious party in disguise."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "whoosh whoosh" coming from the air, and he saw black shadows suddenly appear from the roofs on both sides. He drew his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at Wu Jingwei and shot immediately, without mercy.

These Wujing guards were caught off guard, and several people were shot and fell to the ground immediately. The remaining Wujing guards were terrified, but well-trained, and the commander shouted sharply: "Don't panic, rush up and fight them."

With a loud cry, he rushed towards the "corpse". The Wujing guards behind him also mustered up their courage and rushed forward with their knives. Coming up, the archers on the roof were still holding their bows and arrows, finding the right time, and shooting without hesitation. After a while of fighting, only the head of the head was left to resist, but his arm was cut off by a man with a knife, and the blood was like Note, the head of the department screamed, covered his injured arm, and said sharply: "You... who are you?"

But he saw the knife hand who cut off his arm walk in front of him, his eyes were like ice, only then did Shutou realize that the man had only one arm left, and his right sleeve was floating, empty, obviously broken at the shoulder fold.

The one-armed knife hand looked coldly at the head of the post, and said indifferently: "We are the envoys who buried Qin's capital, and I am... Lei Zegui's sister!" The neck, the eyes of the head were protruding, the body twisted twice, and then fell to the ground.

The one-armed swordsman is suddenly Tian Hou, the guard commander who was expelled from the mansion by the prince.

Tian Hou's expression was as cold as ice, and with a wave of his hand, the people around him immediately dragged Wu Jingwei's body to the alley next to him. In that alley, there were already nearly ten corpses.

These people were able to deal with them quickly, and Tian Hou said in a deep voice: "This has been resolved. As long as he comes out, this road is also one of the roads he may pass. Now the three roads after the Prince's Mansion are all closed. Under our control, unless he doesn't move, he will fall into the trap."

In the prince's mansion, the prince is currently being served by Liuli, changing his palace clothes. Liuli is very gentle, while helping the prince to change clothes, she whispered: "Your Highness, at this time, it may not be safe for your highness to go out. Now there are rebels lurking everywhere in the city. Be careful, it is better to wait until dawn before going, and even if there is a big event, you can send someone to invite them over."

The prince smiled lightly and said: "I am the heir of the empire. If I dare not even walk in the capital, I am not worthy of being the heir of the empire. The adults of Zhongshu Province are probably panicked now. If the palace continues to be in the prince's mansion, I am afraid If you don't need the enemy to fight, you will be in a complete mess. First go to Zhongshu Province to reassure all the adults, and then I will go to the General Administration of Wujing Guards in person to take command. Since the third child wants to play this game with me, I will I will accompany you to the end."

Liuli sighed faintly, knowing that since the prince had made up his mind, he would not change it. After serving the prince to change clothes, he pushed the prince's wheelchair out the door. The steps and roads of the prince's mansion were naturally built differently from other mansions, so it was suitable for wheelchairs in the mansion. Walking around, Liuli pushed the wheelchair without any difficulty, and brought it all the way to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. Zhao Quan was already waiting outside the gate with his guards, and a gorgeous carriage was also ready.

The crown prince saw that Zhao Quan had summoned nearly a hundred guards, shook his head and said: "Zhao Quan, you take twenty people with me to Zhongshu Province, and the rest stay at the prince's mansion."

"Your Highness, absolutely not." Zhao Quan said urgently: "In the capital now...!"

"You mean I'm afraid of those rebellious parties? I'm in charge of the country, and I can't even move around in the capital?" The prince didn't wait for Zhao Quan to finish, and said calmly: "Arrange 20 people, and the others stay in the prince's mansion. .”

Zhao Quan glanced at Liuli, Liuli wanted to persuade him, but before he could speak, the crown prince smiled and said, "Liuli, don't worry, my palace is the heir of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the heavens will protect me."

Liuli was helpless, Zhao Quan hugged the crown prince and got into the carriage, making him take a wheelchair, so he had to lead twenty guards to Zhongshu province.

The car was chugging along, and the capital seemed quiet, but Zhao Quan and the other guards were on strict alert. They were really looking around and listening to all directions. After passing through a few streets, the crown prince lifted the curtain and asked the side of the carriage. Zhao Quan, "Where did you go?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, we have already arrived at Zeng Yifang, and there are two streets left before we can reach Zhongshu Province."

"Zeng Yifang?" the prince muttered to himself, and put down the curtain of the car.

After walking for a while, Zhao Quan suddenly heard Zhao Quan say in a deep voice: "Stop!" The carriage came to an abrupt stop, the prince looked calm, opened the curtains, Zhao Quan had already rode to the prince's window, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, something is wrong .”

"how?"

"Your Highness, after entering Zeng Yifang, the soldiers have never seen Wu Jingwei patrolling." Zhao Quan said cautiously: "And I smell a strange smell...!"

"Oh?" The prince smiled lightly, "What's the smell?"

"The smell of blood." Zhao Quan rolled over and dismounted, "There is a smell of blood here...!" He looked up to the front of the long street, only to see that the long street was deserted, and the doors on both sides were closed, he walked slowly Going forward, staring at the ground, walked about ten steps away, squatted down suddenly, saw a wet spot on the ground, reached out to touch it, put it on the tip of the nose and smelled it, the color changed slightly, stood up immediately, turned around and said: " Turn around...!"

The guards looked at each other, and Zhao Quan had already rushed to the Prince's window with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, there are bloodstains on the ground on the street, this road cannot be walked...!"

The prince frowned and said, "You mean someone intends to assassinate me here?"

Zhao Quan said: "There are rebels hiding in the capital, and His Highness is the pillar of the capital. If they want to cause chaos, they will definitely focus on His Highness...!"

The prince smiled lightly, "If they really want to assassinate me, it's too late for me to turn around now...!" Before he finished speaking, he heard an exclamation in front of him, and someone shouted: "Commander Zhao! , There is a situation...!" Immediately after hearing the sound of "whoosh, whoosh", a dozen black figures suddenly appeared on the roofs on both sides, bowed their bows and set arrows, and shot towards the carriage.

"Protect Your Highness." Zhao Quan snarled. These guards were not ordinary people. They dismounted quickly and used horses to form a protective wall around the periphery. Instead, the famous guards surrounded the carriage and guarded them with knives. It was just that the arrows came in a hurry. The guards moved quickly, but two people still fell to the ground. Zhao Quan clenched his knife tightly, staring at the shadow on the roof with a stern expression, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, there are assassins!"

At this moment, a group of people appeared one after another like ghosts from the alleys on both sides. In just a moment, the prince and others were surrounded.

The knives in these people's hands shone coldly, and Zhao Quan shouted sharply, "Who are you?"

But he saw a person coming out from the crowd slowly, that person walked very slowly, a few steps away from the carriage, then stopped, stared at the knife in Zhao Quan's hand, smiled coldly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhao Quan, I have never believed that your knife is really faster than mine."

Zhao Quan heard the voice, looked over from the light of the torch, saw the man's face clearly, and said in surprise, "It's...it's you?"

"That's right." The man sneered, "I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but God has mercy on me, allowing me to avenge my revenge so soon."

The voice of the prince came from inside the carriage, full of disdain: "Tian Hou, I didn't kill you, I spared your life, but I didn't expect you to avenge me... I am not interested in you. Where is your new master? Why not?" Dare to come out and meet people?"

"His Royal Highness, are you just looking down on me like this?" A voice came from behind Tian Hou, and a man came out slowly. He was slender, dressed in coarse cloth, with disheveled hair tied behind with a rope, and a thin face. , can be said to be thin and bony, with stubble around his mouth, he looks quite decadent, but his eyes are shining, and the cold air is threatening, "Boiling beans burns Osmunda, beans weep in the cauldron, they grow from the same root, Why is it too urgent to confront each other... Hehe, the world is full of praise for Cao Zijian's seven-step poem, but in my king's opinion, it's not as good as bullshit, born in the royal family, it's about life and death, and it's always been like an enemy."
