After rebirth, she was forced into marriage by the sickly prince

149 Chapter 149, Assassination

Xiao Qiyu rode his horse and galloped away, leaving the city.

In November, the leaves fall.

But there is a place outside the city, which is a green bamboo forest.

After passing the bamboo forest and going up the mountain, there is a temple, and there is an old monk in the temple.

Whenever Xiao Qiyu was in a mood, he would come to play chess with this old monk, listen to him talk about Zen, taste tea together, and gossip about the world.

Today, he wanted to run to chat with the old monk.

Unexpectedly, when passing through this bamboo forest, a few killers flew out of the shadowy bamboo bushes.

They wear grimaces, wear the most common clothes, but hold the sharpest weapons.

The sword will kill him.

"Who are you?"

After receiving the first wave of attack, Xiao Qiyu, who was surrounded by it, looked around sharply and asked in a deep voice.

"The person who sent you to meet the King of Hades. Come on, set up an array, and send King Jing to heaven..."

The man in the lead was murderous, and his tone was mad enough, as if today would definitely be the day of Xiao Qiyu's death.

There are nine killers in total, forming a killing formation.

Xiao Qiyu flew off his horse, grabbed the sword on the horse, drove away his snow horse, and fought desperately with them.

This is a rare formation method, from the ancient books of the previous dynasty, which can trap a top expert in the formation, exhaust that person's physical strength in a short period of time, and finally die in the sword formation.

This array is called: Dragon Slaying Array.

There is a saying: the dragon is flying, and its magic power is boundless.

If a dragon enters this formation, its head will be beheaded, how can a mortal avoid it?
Unfortunately, just when Xiao Qiyu was in danger, another mysterious person suddenly appeared, holding a bamboo flute, and helped him retreat from the enemy.

This person was wearing a coir hat, a jug on his waist, a beard, and a mask on his face, but every move was so brilliant that he broke their formation with ease.

"Thank you, senior." He thanked deeply.

But the man snorted: "You saved my apprentice, I'll just give you a favor... Your people are here, let's play with them slowly, the old man will go..."

The mysterious man quietly left again.

Xiao Qiyu was stunned for a moment, not sure who the disciple the man was talking about.

At this moment, Asuo followed closely with his people, and shouted from a distance: "Your Highness, we are here..."

With a group of guards, Asuo rushed to join the battle.

In the end, they beheaded three killers, and the other six had their hands broken or were injured, and they fled in panic one by one.

In fact, Xiao Qiyu has been subjected to various assassinations in the past few years. There are always people who want to kill him, but he can always turn evil into good luck.

The people who assassinated him before were mediocre, but today's killers are all good at martial arts.Like a quack killer who has been trained for many years.

He was curious, who would want to kill him?

Prince?

That mediocrity, it is impossible to keep so many killers around him - raising a killer requires a lot of property.The prince has no money.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so stupid as to sell iron stones to make money.

Father emperor?

Although he didn't like him and kept a group of hidden guards around him who were unknown to outsiders, the emperor would not kill him, and if he wanted to kill him, he had to kill him openly.What's more, he is still useful now.

Queen?

On the surface, the queen is a master of the harem who knows the general situation, but she has been worried that the crown prince will be robbed of his position as the heir apparent - among all the princes, he is the most capable.But the queen has no money, so how can she raise a killer.

Besides, he didn't know who in the palace wanted his life.

Could it be the person who set off the chaos in Yucheng?
But who would it be?
Who is the one who saves himself?

In fact, it was none other than Mu Yunjiang's master Jiang Tian who saved him.Before, when he was in Beiling, Xiao Qiyu had never met him, so he couldn't guess his identity at all.

At this moment, Xiao Qiyu thought wildly for a while, but couldn't figure out why, so he picked up the weapon on the ground, thinking about its weight, and looked at the color, his complexion became more and more ugly.

This kind of workmanship, this kind of quality, should be made with the iron stone of the Armaments Department.

These weapons, which could have been sharp knives in the hands of the soldiers, have now become murder weapons to kill him.

"Let's go. Go back to the mansion first. Asuo, get Yan Wuhen to come over and answer immediately. For more than a month, they have been staring at the Armaments Department. Let him report immediately if they have gained anything."

He thought that this matter must be thoroughly investigated.

"Yes."

Asuo asked one of his men to go down and invite Yan Wuhen to answer, while he followed His Highness back to the city.

After half an hour, they returned to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Coincidentally, a brand new plaque was sent from the palace, and the four gilded characters "Jingbei Prince's Mansion" replaced "Third Prince's Mansion".

Asuo was the first to hang up the new plaque.

The father-in-law who sent the plaque smiled and introduced to Xiao Qiyu: "This is an inscription written by the emperor himself, and it was carved by a craftsman. Congratulations to King Jingbei, who became the first prince beside the emperor to be crowned king."

Although Xiao Qiyu exchanged a few words of pleasantries, he looked at the name of the house, but there was no joy in his heart.

After sending away the servant who brought the plaque, he sat blankly in the study for an unknown amount of time, unable to get out of the fact that Mu Yunjiang had been given a marriage for a long time, and even lost his appetite for lunch.

Asuo stood guard by the door, feeling very sad for a while.

He really watched Sandian fall into love step by step, but it's okay for that stupid girl not to know how to accept it. Now, an imperial decree wiped out all the possibilities between them.

Your Highness must be very sad.

But he could only hold it in his heart and couldn't speak it out.

Your Highness is really pitiful.

Just now, Miss Seven was so angry that she almost had an accident.

"Your Highness, if you are unhappy in your heart, you can also smash things..." Asuo couldn't help poking his head into his head to comfort His Highness.

"It's all so hard to spend money to buy it, why should I smash it?"

Xiao Qiyu asked indifferently.

The money in the Third Prince's mansion has always been spent by breaking it into two cents, which has been saved to the extreme. He used all the money on the soldiers who were in trouble at home.So the family is very simple.

Hearing this, Asuo shrank his head back.

After another moment.

"Hey, hey, I heard that the emperor assigned Seventh Girl to that stunned young Luo Xunyang? Is this true or not?"

At the right time, Yan Wuhen was found. When he saw Asuo, he asked about it in a low voice. Now that it was rumored outside, he had to ask for proof.

His Highness obviously likes Mu Yunjiang...

"That's not true. Your Highness and Miss Seven have experienced life and death in Saibei. Originally, His Highness came back to ask for a marriage order, but it turned out..."

Asuo stomped his feet lightly, feeling so annoyed that he let Luo Xunyang take the lead.

"The emperor is really old and confused..."

When Yan Wuhen got angry, he became unrestrained.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, don't cause His Highness any more trouble..." Asuo immediately reminded.

"Oh, by the way, Asuo, please report to me quickly, I have something to tell His Highness..." Yan Wuhen thought of the serious matter, and hurriedly urged.

"Come in and talk!"

Xiao Qiyu heard them whispering in the room.Although very light, he has good hearing.

Yan Wuhen ran in and found that His Highness looked very bad. Obviously, His Highness was pissed off by this incident.If it were him, he would be angry too. Marriage is a matter of a lifetime. If that seventh girl is so powerful, if she misses it, it will be a lifetime of regret...

"Your Highness, don't worry, Seventh Miss is just engaged, and with Luo Xunyang, Seventh Miss can't match... I think this matter, sooner or later..."

He couldn't help but comfort him first.

Xiao Qiyu's face was heavy, and he motioned him to look at the weapons on the table: "Let's talk about the business first, come and take a look, I was assassinated just now, this is a weapon just handed in. There is no weapon number on it, it is obviously a privately made weapon... But this kind of material is not the iron stone that can be obtained in ordinary small workshops, and this kind of craftsmanship is definitely the craftsmanship of military craftsmen..."

Yan Wuhen glanced at it, with shock on his face: "These weapons are not only of good quality, but the smelting technology is also quite mature, and they are sharper than the ones we use...Your Highness, you were assassinated, did you get hurt?" ?”

By the end, he tensed up.

"Not hurt."

"That's good." Yan Wuhen patted his palms suddenly: "This time it's a match."

"What's right?" Xiao Qiyu stared at him and asked.

Yan Wuhen immediately took out an account book from his arms, and respectfully offered it:
"Your Highness, you asked us to investigate the Beishan Armaments Department before you set off, and now we have found out the problem.

"We showed this account book to Miss Seven before. Miss Seven said that she would investigate deeply and asked us not to report it to you for the time being, but I think you must know about this matter. If Miss Seven continues to investigate quietly , may offend people..."

Hearing that this matter was related to Mu Yunjiang, Xiao Qiyu immediately cheered up, took over the account book, and looked at it carefully, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp:

"Did she ever say how to investigate?"

"No." Yan Wuhen shook his head: "But I think this may have something to do with Seventh Girl's promise to marry her today."

Not to mention, it's really possible.

Xiao Qiyu thought for a while with bright eyes, and walked back and forth twice in the same place. Now his father made him a prince and agreed with him to go to the court to discuss matters, but he did not clearly say that he would thoroughly investigate the case of inferior weapons.So if you want to check it yourself, you must ask for an order.

"In this way, I will go into the palace now and ask for an order to thoroughly investigate. You wait for me at the gate of the palace... We will do it immediately when we get the order..."

"Yes."

Asuo looked at it and smiled unconsciously. As long as His Highness is doing business, other things are no longer important.

His heart is pretending to be the safety of the entire Great Liang.

Those children's feelings, he can put aside as long as he can.

*
Xiao Qiyu entered the palace.

Emperor Liang was approving the memorial in the imperial study, and when he heard that his son had gone and turned back, he was taken aback: He is here to create a problem for himself, can't he come to snatch the marriage?

The news he got was: after the imperial court was over, he took a carriage in the palace and had a private chat with Mu Yunjiang.

For this reason, he frowned secretly, thought for a while, and signaled Gao Huan to call someone in.

After a while, Xiao Qiyu came, still in the same outfit just now, after entering, he saluted respectfully, and his mood was very calm.

"Third, what's the matter, you want to see me so urgently?"

Emperor Liang asked calmly.

"Father, I was assassinated when I just left the palace... I handed over several weapons, and those weapons were all made of high-quality iron and stone. I want you to have a look..."

Xiao Qiyu reported truthfully.

"Assassination? Who assassinated you?"

Emperor Liang's eyes sharpened.

"I don't know, out of the nine killers, three died and six escaped. Apart from weapons, I didn't catch anyone alive."

Knowing that his son came here for something else, Emperor Liang felt a little guilty for some reason. He seemed to be a villain at heart, so he first asked with concern:
"Are you injured?"

"Thank you for your concern, my son and minister are fine."

"That's good, where are the weapons!"

"Outside, Ah Suo has three in his hand!"

"Gao Huan, let him bring it in."

The emperor commanded.

Gao Huan went to invite people in, and Gao Huan brought three weapons to Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang took a look at one of them, and his complexion suddenly became serious: "Such a good craftsmanship, such a good color and material, such a weapon, is a top-grade weapon!"

"Yes, my son thinks so too. However, the emperor knows that we cannot make weapons privately in the territory of Great Liang. The folks at most make household knives such as kitchen knives. The materials used are not like this. Jiang Huren They do wear swords and the like. But these people’s weapons will not be this kind of unified sergeant’s sword... This kind of sword is most suitable for killing the enemy..."

When Xiao Qiyu said this, he clasped his hands together and said: "Father, the accounts of the Beijun Division are in disarray, and I want to plead for orders to thoroughly investigate this case.

"My son thought: If these iron and stones flowed out from the Beijun Armament Department, it would be a big problem...We have spent more than [-] years in Great Liang, and we have to let the people recuperate. Weapons, hiding private soldiers, then Great Liang will be very dangerous..."

This is not scare talk.

Emperor Liang has always put the world first, and what he can't tolerate the most is someone ruining the stable world he has so hard earned.

After listening, he thought for a while, and immediately made a judgment:
"Xiao Qiyu listens to the order."

"My son is here."

"From now on, you will be fully responsible for the thorough investigation of Beishan Armament Division's accounts. If there is any progress, please report directly."

"My son takes orders."

"Go!"

"Yes."

Xiao Qiyu took the order and left.

Emperor Liang looked at this son who had gone away in a high spirited manner, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be the most similar to him among all his sons—he was thinking about the people, and he was working hard to defend the peace of Daliang.

At that time, Emperor Liang also wanted to make Great Liang a step forward, so he ascended to the throne step by step, opening up the stable and prosperous age of Great Liang.

Ugh!
Why is Dudu the most like himself!

"Gao Huan, do you think the third child has the same demeanor as I did back then..."

He murmured softly.

"Your Highness, how can you compare to you? But Your Highness is a person who really handles errands. If my Great Liang can have more people who can handle errands, it will be a great fortune for Great Liang."

Gao Huan spoke the truth.

However, Emperor Liang glanced at him and smiled lightly: "The old man... really flatters..."

"No, this is the truth. The Third Highness still has many shortcomings. If he can get the emperor's advice, he should be able to do better... It's just that the Third Highness will stay in the capital for a short time! Such a good talent will be released , his residence should be able to be managed very well..."

Gao Huan spoke very implicitly.

Emperor Liang heard the smell: a place with a third child can be governed well; a country with a third child in power will surely be peaceful and peaceful...

He knows that many people think that the third child is more suitable for the crown prince than anyone else.

However, how did he get over that hurdle in his heart?
He hates that there is a dirty mother here...
