The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Hearing that there was an assassin, the tourists in the back mountain ran around in fright. Zhao Yao and Song Jicai were scattered by the frightened crowd.

Tong Xi was glad that he did not break up with His Highness, otherwise, if something happened to His Highness, he would be the one to die.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Tong Xi frowned as he watched the crowd rushing around.If they want to go back to the Taoist temple, or go down the mountain, they have to squeeze together with this group of bumping people.In this case, maybe he and His Highness will be dispersed.

Tong Xi looked around. This bamboo forest was very quiet, and he could clearly hear the sound of killing and people's screams from the peach forest next door.

"Your Highness, it's not safe here, let's leave as soon as possible." The peach forest is not far from the bamboo forest, and if the assassins come over, they won't even have a place to hide.

"It's not safe." Zhao Yao looked at the peach forest not far away, his face was a little dignified, "Hurry up and go down the mountain."

Tong Xi squatted down in front of Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, this servant will carry you down the mountain."

Just as Zhao Yao was about to lie on Tong Xi's back, he saw several people walking towards them protecting Qin Xiulian.Then, they saw a group of people in night clothes following behind them.

"Your Highness, let's go quickly." Tong Xi stood up directly, and ran down the mountain with Zhao Yao in his arms.

The guards protected Qin Xiulian and ran down the mountain.

Zhao Yao glanced back, and saw the group of men in black stabbing fiercely at the guards protecting Qin Xiulian with their swords.

A group of men in black saw Zhao Yao and the others, and immediately chased after them.

Zhao Yao exclaimed: "No, they want to kill people to silence them."

Tong Xi naturally also noticed: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, even if this servant dies, I will protect you well..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a group of men in black jumping out not far ahead, holding swords in their hands.They stabbed towards Zhao Yao and the others.

The man in black behind has already caught up, and the man in black in front is also approaching.

Men in black also appeared on the left and right sides.

Zhao Yao looked at it, and there were about thirty or forty assassins.

Sending so many assassins to assassinate Qin Xiulian is to put Qin Xiulian to death.

Tong Xi turned his body and let Zhao Yao lie on his back.

"Your Highness, close your eyes."

Just when Zhao Yao was about to close his eyes, he noticed a few black-clothed men appearing out of nowhere, killing a group of black-clothed men surrounded in front of them.

What's happening here?
Why did the assassins kill each other?
The men in black around Zhao Yao and the others were stunned when they saw a few men in black suddenly appearing.They thought these people were their accomplices, but they didn't expect these people to kill their people.

The new men in black have treacherous skills, and their moves are deadly and vicious.

Seeing this scene, the men in black who appeared at the beginning assassinated the men in black who had just appeared without any hesitation.

More than a dozen men in black besieged the men in black together, but they were no match for the men in black at all.Soon, more than a dozen men in black were out of breath.

Tong Xi, who was about to make a move, stared at all this in a daze, what happened just now?
Zhao Yao, who was lying on Tongxi's back, was also in a daze, completely unaware of what was happening in front of him.

Seeing the four men in black walking towards them, Tongxi immediately became vigilant.

At this moment, the four men in black saluted Zhao Yao: "I have seen His Highness the Tenth Highness." Immediately, they said, "Your Highness Tenth, I will escort you down the mountain."

"Who are you?" Tong Xi didn't relax his vigilance just because they called Zhao Yao "His Royal Highness". He asked cautiously, "What's the purpose?"

"We are the secret guards protecting His Highness. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We have to go down the mountain as soon as possible."

Hearing that it was a secret guard, Tong Xi was slightly relieved.

"Your Highness, we..."

The tallest of the four men in black spoke, his tone full of respect: "Your Highness, we have to go down the mountain quickly."

"Are you the secret guards protecting me?" Zhao Yao wondered, when did he have secret guards, why didn't he know?
Zhao Yao thought that there were many hidden guards in Second Uncle's house, could it be that these four hidden guards were sent by Second Uncle to protect him?

"The emperor sent us to protect His Highness."

"Father?" Zhao Yao was surprised.It turned out to be a secret guard sent by the stinky father.

"Your Highness, let's go down the mountain quickly."

Hearing the sound of beating and killing coming from behind, Zhao Yao looked back and saw the guards surrounding Qin Xiulian struggling to deal with the assassination of the people in black.

"Aren't you going to save Concubine Ying?"

The tall dark guard looked back at Qin Xiulian who was being assassinated by the assassins, without frowning or changing his eyes, he answered Zhao Yao's question very calmly.

"Your Highness, our duty is to protect you." It meant that Concubine Ying was not within their scope of protection.

The assassin who was chasing Qin Xiulian behind was pressing them step by step. Seeing this, the tall hidden guard hurriedly hugged Zhao Yao from Tong Xi's back.

Before Zhao Yao could react, he was carried by the dark guard and ran down the mountain.

The other three hidden guards followed closely behind Zhao Yao and the others.

After Zhao Yao was sent to a safe place, the four hidden guards disappeared.

Zhao Yao was about to ask them some questions, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Your Highness, this..." Tong Xi was shocked, "The emperor actually sent secret guards to protect you."

Zhao Yao was also very surprised: "It's the first time I know." It was reasonable but not reasonable for the stinky father to send secret guards to protect him.

"Your Highness, what should we do next, return to Beijing directly?" They were sent down the mountain by four hidden guards.

"We'll wait for Little Heizi and the others. They will be very worried about us if they break up with us." The mountain is very peaceful, unlike the chaos on the mountain.

"Then let's wait here, it's not safe to go up the mountain now." Tong Xi hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Your Highness, Concubine Ying's side..." When they came down the mountain just now, Concubine Ying was in a very dangerous situation. Could something have happened by now?
"I was just about to ask four hidden guards to rescue Concubine Ying, but they disappeared before I could say anything." Now that he had met him, he couldn't just refuse to save her.Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Tong Xi, you go up the mountain and have a look."

"Your Highness, the servant has left, what should you do?"

"Since my father sent four hidden guards to protect me, they should be nearby and won't watch anything happen to me. You should hurry up the mountain to see Concubine Ying."

Tong Xi thinks so, the dark guard must be hiding nearby, secretly protecting His Highness.

"Your Highness, the servant girl will go up the mountain to have a look."

"If you meet Little Heizi and the others, tell them I'm fine." Zhao Yao was worried that Little Heizi and the others would look for him on the mountain.

"Yes, Your Highness." Tong Xi went up the mountain without any hesitation.

When he went up the mountain, he learned that all the assassins had been put to death, and the concubine Ying was fine.Tong Xi hurriedly went to find Xiao Heizi and the others.

Sure enough, Zhao Yao guessed right, Xiao Heizi and the others were anxiously looking for him.

Seeing Tongxi, they hurriedly asked how Zhao Yao was doing.

Tong Xi told them that Zhao Yao was fine, and that he had gone down the mountain and was waiting for them at the bottom of the mountain.

Knowing that Zhao Yao was safe and sound, Zhang He and the others breathed a sigh of relief.If something happened to Zhao Yao in Baiheguan, they could hardly absolve themselves of the responsibility.

Song Jicai and the others didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried down the mountain with Tong Xi.

Seeing that Zhao Yao was really unscathed, Song Jicai and the others were completely relieved.

"Boss, you're fine."

"Boss, we are scared to death."

"Boss, do you know how worried we are when you get separated from us?"

"Boss, luckily you are fine."

Zhao Yao smiled at Chu Huan and the others: "I'm fine, are you all fine?"

"We're fine."

Zhang He said with a bitter face: "Boss, you got separated from us. My mother and sister almost beat me to death."

"Have you met your mother?" Zhao Yao asked with concern, "Are they all right? Why didn't they come down the mountain with you?"

Song Jicai said: "My mother and sister went to kill the assassin."

It is learned that there is an assassin, and the target of the assassination is the concubine Ying.Song Jicai and Zhang He's mother and sister rushed to rescue Concubine Ying.

Fortunately, Song Jicai and his mother and sister rescued her, otherwise Concubine Ying would definitely have an accident today.

"They are guarding Concubine Ying on the mountain now." Song Jicai said, "We are worried about you, Boss, so we will follow Tong Xi down the mountain to see you."

"Are your sisters okay?"

"It's okay, my mother and sister are very skilled in martial arts, and those assassins are no match for them."

Zhao Yao exclaimed, "As expected of a general."

"Boss, you should go to the mountain with us first."

"Boss, the mountain is already safe, let's meet up with my mother and the others."

"Boss, my family has already returned to Beijing to report the assassination of Concubine Ying. My father and the others should come soon."

"Boss, you are still safe with us, otherwise we won't trust you."

"Okay, I'll go up the mountain with you." Although the mountain is safe, there is no guarantee that it will be safe on the way back to Beijing.Besides, if he and Tong Xi go back to Beijing first, Little Heizi and the others won't be at ease.

In Beijing, after Song Dekang received the news, he immediately reported it to Emperor Wu of Zhou.

At this time, Emperor Wu of Zhou had already received from the dark guard that there was an assassin in Baiheguan.However, he first learned that Zhao Yao was in the White Crane Temple.Fortunately, Zhao Yao was protected by hidden guards, and nothing happened.Afterwards, he found out that Concubine Ying was assassinated in Baiheguan.

Song Dekang roughly reported to Emperor Wu of Zhou that there was an assassin in Xiabaihe Temple.After finishing speaking, he pleaded guilty to Emperor Wu of Zhou, because their youngest sons took the tenth prince to the White Crane Temple, causing the tenth prince to be involved in the assassination.Fortunately, His Royal Highness is fine, otherwise they would not be able to explain to the emperor.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't blame Song Dekang and his youngest sons, "Okay, come with me to the White Crane Temple."

"Your Majesty, I just wait for a few others to go to the White Crane Temple. You don't have to go in person, it's too dangerous."

"Xiao Shi's brat is at Baihe Temple, I have to go and have a look." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, and said meaningfully, "Also, my concubine was assassinated in Baihe Temple, how could I not go to visit? "

"emperor……"

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me."

After a while, Empress Xie and Concubine Rong learned that Concubine Ying was assassinated in Baiheguan.Because the emperor was worried about Concubine Ying, when he heard about this, he hurried out of the palace and rushed to Baihe to watch Concubine Ying.

"The emperor is so worried about her?!" Concubine Rong's face was very ugly.

"Your Majesty, maybe Concubine Ying is already dead." Jin Mei said gloatingly, "Even if the emperor goes up, Concubine Ying is already a dead person."

Concubine Rong raised her mouth and smiled when she heard this: "Yes, maybe she is already dead."

In Zhaoyang Palace, Empress Xie was not surprised when she learned that Concubine Ying was assassinated in Baihe Temple.

Seeing Empress Xie's calm expression, Jiang Chuan asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, you already knew that Concubine Ying would be assassinated?"

Empress Xie chuckled and said, "Isn't this very obvious. Concubine Ying has been loved and cared by the emperor before she officially enters the palace. Do you think Concubine Rong will let her enter the palace smoothly?"

"Your Majesty, do you think Concubine Rong's assassination was arranged by Concubine Rong?"

"Who else is there besides her?" Empress Xie smiled mockingly, "In this palace, the person who is most afraid of Concubine Ying entering the palace is Concubine Rong."

"Isn't Concubine Rong afraid of being suspected by the emperor?" Jiang Chuan felt that Concubine Rong was not so stupid, "Once something happens to Concubine Ying, everyone will suspect that Concubine Rong did it."

Empress Xie has been fighting with Concubine Rong for so many years, she more or less understands Concubine Rong's temperament.

"She just wants the emperor to know that she sent someone to assassinate Concubine Ying."

Jiang Chuan asked with a puzzled face: "Isn't Concubine Rong afraid that the emperor will blame her for doing this?"

"She just wants to test whether the emperor will blame her for this." Empress Xie sneered, "she just wants to test whether the emperor loves her or Concubine Ying."

Jiang Chuan felt that Queen Xie's guess was ridiculous.Concubine Rong is not a fool, it is impossible for her to test the emperor for Concubine Ying.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong would not do such a stupid thing."

"Jealousy can make a person crazy and make her do stupid things." Empress Xie smiled faintly, "Concubine Ying is a thorn in Concubine Rong's heart. No, it is Si Youying who is the thorn in Concubine Rong's heart." A thorn. Si Youying died. Concubine Rong thought that the thorn had disappeared, but she didn't expect that after many years, a person who looked exactly like Si Youying appeared. The appearance of Concubine Ying awakened the thorn in Concubine Rong's heart. "

Empress Xie smiled playfully: "This thorn pierced Concubine Rong's heart severely, and reminded her of the emperor's preference for Si Youying. She began to be afraid and panicked, even though she knew that Concubine Ying was no better He is Si Youying's substitute, so he decided to kill Concubine Ying, and let Concubine Ying disappear from this world forever like Si Youying."

"The most important thing is that Concubine Rong doesn't dare to gamble."

"What does Concubine Rong dare not bet on?"

"She doesn't dare to bet that after Concubine Ying enters the palace, she will still be favored by the emperor as before." Empress Xie mocked, "Concubine Rong has been favored by the Six Palaces for many years, and she can't accept that one day she will lose to a replacement." She can't accept that she has fallen out of favor. She has always felt that she is the emperor's favorite woman, which is what she is most proud of. If the concubine Ying loses what she is most proud of after entering the palace, what do you think? Can she, who is arrogant, accept it?"

"I can't accept Concubine Rong's temperament, but is Concubine Rong really not afraid of the emperor blaming her?" Jiang Chuan still doesn't believe Empress Xie's conjecture, "Isn't it provoking the emperor to kill Concubine Ying when she enters the palace? ?”

"Next, Concubine Rong will take the initiative to plead guilty to the emperor and tell the emperor the reason why she sent someone to assassinate Concubine Ying." Empress Xie said with a sneer, "I guess the emperor will definitely do it after hearing her reason. Be soft-hearted and won't blame her."

"Impossible, the emperor loves Concubine Ying so much."

"Concubine Ying is just a substitute for Si Youying after all, she is not the real Si Youying. A substitute is not as important as Concubine Rong who grew up with him. This is why Concubine Rong blatantly sent someone to assassinate Concubine Rong .”

"This trick seems stupid, but in fact..." At this point, Empress Xie didn't say any more, her face became distorted for a moment due to jealousy. "Regardless of Concubine Ying's death or not, the Emperor will not bear to blame Concubine Rong."

Empress Xie suddenly sighed desolately: "At this time, I really hope that the emperor really loves Concubine Ying."

Jiang Chuan seemed to understand something, and asked in surprise, "Ma'am, is that why you didn't take action against Concubine Ying?"

"Concubine Rong will take action against Concubine Ying, why should I do it?"

"I don't know if anything happened to Concubine Ying."

"Concubine Rong will definitely not let Concubine Ying live, I am afraid that the emperor rushing to Baihe Temple will not help."

"Your Majesty, maybe Concubine Ying is not dead."

"If Concubine Ying is not dead, then there will be a good show." Empress Xie said with a smile, "I hope Concubine Ying is safe and can enter the palace smoothly."

"If Concubine Ying is not dead, after she enters the palace, she will definitely seek revenge from Concubine Rong, and then Concubine Ying will fight to the death with Concubine Rong. We will help Concubine Ying secretly, and Concubine Rong will definitely lose at that time. "Jiang Chuan said with a smile, "At that time, there will be no one who will be your opponent."

A new one is coming.

It is really uncomfortable to code on the high-speed rail, but I still coded more than 4000 characters.

It was also time to let Zhao Yao know how much Emperor Wu of Zhou cared about him.

There is one more tonight.
