The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 395 Wave after wave of assassinations

In the cabin, Zhao Yao was looking at foreign maps and writing something.

He Lianfang walked in with a wheelchair and saw Zhao Yao writing and drawing something.He randomly picked up a piece of paper that Zhao Yao had written on, looked down at it, and found what number was written on it.There are also some incomprehensible words.

"What are you writing about?"

Zhao Yao did not stop what he was doing and said without raising his head, "I'm calculating something." The numbers and words that He Lianfang couldn't understand were Arabic numerals and English letters from Zhao Yao's world in his dream.

A few years ago, Zhao Yao had completely accepted and digested all the memories of Zhao Yao in his dream.It can be said that he and Zhao Yao in the dream have completely become one.

He Lianfang didn't ask Zhao Yao what he was thinking.Because he asked and he didn’t understand.

"Tonight, the ship will dock in the waters of Lingnan."

The quill pen in Zhao Yao's hand stopped, and he turned his head to look at He Lianfang beside him.

"Then it starts tonight, second uncle, please be careful."

"No one is here to assassinate me, so be careful."

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of a good idea and raised a smirk on his lips: "Second uncle, how about we watch a show together tonight?"

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao, who had a bad look on his face, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Tell someone to prepare the food and drinks."

"Second uncle, do you want to drink?"

"Didn't your second uncle buy a lot of wine in the Western Regions before? I asked people to carry it on the boat."

"Don't you dislike the wine from the Western Regions that smells like sheep?" When Zhao Yao gave it to He Lianfang, He Lianfang disliked it to death. "Why did you even move on board?"

He Lianfang said: "It's better than nothing." He couldn't sleep on the ship without drinking.

"Whether it's the wine from Da Zhou, the wine from the Western Regions, or the wine from Annan countries, it doesn't taste good." The reason why Zhao Yao doesn't like drinking is because the wine doesn't taste good, and it's not very clean. "When I get to Lingnan, I will make wine for you and let you taste what real good wine is."

Hearing this, He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao in surprise: "You know how to make wine?"

"Yes, and the wine I make is delicious."

"Why haven't I seen you making wine before?"

"Because I want to make wine in Lingnan and then sell it." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Second uncle, let me tell you, the wine I brew will definitely sell well."

He Lianfang believes that everything Zhao Yao makes is good.This brat said the wine he brewed was delicious, so it must be delicious.

"Why not brew wine in the capital?"

"Second uncle, if I had made wine in the capital before, would this wine still be in my hands? Then would I still be able to make a lot of money?" Zhao Yao made a very careful calculation in his mind, "If nothing else, just Those good brothers who talk about my father will definitely come to steal my wine shamelessly, and I am afraid they will also steal my formula."

There is no soldier who doesn't like to drink. He Lianfang thinks that Zhao Yao is right to consider this aspect.

"Also, the wine I brew will be very profitable. What will I do if my royal brothers force me to hand over the recipe?" Zhao Yao said again, "Especially my good second brother, who is the best wine maker on weekdays. , he will definitely steal my wine and my formula. The most important thing is that my good father will also steal it." He had too many things taken away by his father.

"Are you so sure that the wine you brew will sell well?"

"Of course, what I make has never been bad." Zhao Yao pointed to his head, "I have many recipes for making wine here, and they are all good wine."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said so confidently, He Lianfang was full of expectations for the wine he brewed.

"When you get to Lingnan, make wine for me right away."

"Second uncle, do you want to drink wine with a lower alcohol content, or do you prefer strong alcohol?"

"Strong liquor, of course."

"I forgot, the alcohol content of Da Zhou's spirits is not high, so I will make spirits for you first and let you drink real spirits." When he arrived in Lingnan, he made Erguotou first. "By the way, there are many fruits and medicinal materials in Lingnan, which can also be used to make wine."

"Medicinal wine is good, but fruit wine is fine."

"Second uncle, the fruit wine I brew is not the fruit wine you have ever drunk." Zhao Yao smiled mysteriously, "I will definitely shock you when the time comes."

"Okay, then I'll wait." He Lianfang's alcohol bug buried deep in her stomach was completely aroused by Zhao Yao's words.

"Besides making wine, what else can you do?" He Lianfang had never heard Zhao Yao say that he could make wine.

"Second Uncle, I know a lot of things. When we get to Lingnan, I will make them one by one." Zhao Yao smiled at He Lianfang, "I will also make a lot of delicious food. Second Uncle, just wait."

"You are really obsessed with eating."

"That's right, people who don't care for their words will be punished by heaven and earth." Zhao Yao said seriously, "I have no other hobbies except eating."

"You go about your business, I'm leaving."

At this time, Tongxi walked in, saluted Zhao Yao and He Lianfang first, and then said, "Your Highness, it's raining outside."

"It's raining." Zhao Yao pinched his chin and said meaningfully, "Rainy days are the best time to kill people."

Tong Xi was frightened by Zhao Yao's words: "Your Highness, please don't say such scary things."

"The show tonight will definitely be great." Zhao Yao said with anticipation.

Tongxi was speechless: "Your Highness, you are so expecting the assassin to kill you."

"I've been floating on this sea for so long, and I'm almost bored to death. There is finally a good show tonight, so of course I have to look forward to it."

Tongxi: "..." Your Highness, did you go crazy at sea?
Zhao Yao waved his hand and asked Tongxi to take He Lianfang back to the house.

It gets dark quickly.There is no moon tonight, and the sea is dark.The only light was the lights on the two dozen ships.

Behind Zhao Yao's two dozen ships, a ship was slowly approaching.

The lights in Zhao Yao's room were still on. He was sitting at the table reading a book, with General Tiger lying at his feet.

There was a movement outside the window, and then Xiao Jin flew in.

Xiao Jin stood on the windowsill and said to Zhao Yao: [Yao Yao, there is a boat following quietly, with many people in black clothes on it. 】

"We're finally here." Zhao Yao reached out and touched Xiao Jin's head, "You can have fun while others get on the boat."

When General Tiger heard this, he quickly stood up and called Zhao Yao twice: "I want to play too." 】

Zhao Yao touched General Tiger's head and said, "That's fun for you too." General Tiger shook his tail with satisfaction.

Zhao Yao yawned, stood up and stretched: "Then I'll sleep now." After saying that, he blew out the lamp.

As soon as he lay down, a person suddenly appeared in his room.General Tiger immediately rushed towards the man, but the man dodged nimbly.

"Your Highness, I am a subordinate."

Hearing a familiar voice, Zhao Yao asked General Tiger to return to him.

"what happened?"

"Your Highness, there is a ship approaching our ship. It should be an assassin. Please stay in the room and do not come out."

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work."

"It is my duty to protect His Highness." After saying this, the secret guard disappeared from the room.

Zhao Yao originally planned to watch the theater with He Lianfang, but it started to rain heavily outside. Zhao Yao was worried about an accident, so he canceled their plan to watch the theater together and asked He Lianfang to stay in his room.

After a while, the sound of fighting was heard outside the window.

Xiaojin and General Tiger heard the sound and ran out immediately.Then, screams sounded out one after another.

The sounds of fighting and screams kept ringing, adding some "life" to this silent and boring rainy night.

Zhao Yao did not run out to take a look out of curiosity, nor did he lie on the window sill to look outside.Just lie on the bed and quietly listen to what's going on outside.

After a while, the sounds of fighting and screaming outside the window stopped.

Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered to himself in the darkness: "Is this the end of the first wave?"

Knock, knock, knock, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice of joy.

"Your Highness, I am a slave."

"come in."

Tongxi walked in with the smell of blood, "Your Highness, there are thirty assassins in total, and they are all dead."

"No one left alive?"

"A few people were captured alive, but they committed suicide."

Zhao Yao frowned and said, "Didn't I ask you to prevent them from committing suicide by biting the poison in their mouths?"

"They moved too fast and we had no time to stop them." Tongxi said, "Your Highness, they are not assassins, they are dead soldiers."

"A dead soldier?" Zhao Yao exclaimed, and then said with a smile, "You actually spent so much money to send a dead soldier to kill me. You really think highly of me."

"Your Highness, I think there will be another assassination attempt tonight."

"This is just the first wave, and there will be another wave after another." Zhao Yao asked hurriedly, "Are there any casualties among our people?"

"Yes, but not many."

"Let the injured people be treated first." Zhao Yao ordered again, "Give me the list of casualties and casualties later."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xiao Jin and General Tiger did not come back.The two little guys were ready to wait for the second wave of "prey" to come.

Sure enough, not long after, the second wave came.

The second wave of assassins are still dead soldiers.

Zhao Yao didn't know if any assassins would come next, because he was asleep.When I woke up the next day, all the blood on the boat was cleaned.However, there were suddenly many sword marks, knife marks, and arrow marks on the ship.

The people sent by the kings of Chu and Wei to protect Zhao Yao all sent letters back to the capital to tell them about Zhao Yao's assassination.

After going to court, the kings of Chu and Wei learned that Zhao Yao had been assassinated at sea, and that the assassin was a well-trained death warrior. Naturally, they were very angry.

The King of Wei immediately ordered the Southern Wei people in Lingnan to investigate who sent someone to assassinate Zhao Yao.

The King of Chu had no one in Lingnan, but he still sent people to Lingnan to investigate.He was also worried that there would be assassins to assassinate Zhao Yao, so he sent some secret guards to protect Zhao Yao.

The kings of Wei and Chu received the news of Zhao Yao's assassination, and the emperor naturally also received it.

Although he had long known that Zhao Yao would be assassinated when he went to Lingnan, the emperor was very angry when he learned that the officials there dared to actually send someone to assassinate the prince.He didn't do anything about it, though.

The emperor did not intend to take action against the officials in Lingnan, but left it to Zhao Yao to deal with it himself.He believed that with Zhao Yao's methods, he would not let those people go.

After learning that none of the three waves of assassins sent out last night had returned, Lingnan officials knew that the assassination had failed.They didn't expect that Zhao Yao would have so many masters around him.

In the next few days, assassins appeared not only at night but also during the day, and they were bound to kill Zhao Yao.

However, when Zhao Yao arrived at Marsh Mansion, their assassination failed.

The governor of Marsh Mansion did not come to the dock to greet Zhao Yao, but asked his men to come down.

Tongxi saw that there were only a few officials who came to greet Zhao Yao, and he was very angry: "Your Highness, the officials of Marsh Mansion are too arrogant. They not only sent people to assassinate you, but also did not come to greet you."

"They are trying to show me off."

“These officials deserve to die!”

"Why are you angry with these people?" Zhao Yao patted Tongxi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Your prince, I have a lot of serious things to be busy with."

"Your Highness, don't you care about them?"

"Of course I don't care, but I believe someone has collected evidence of these officials' crimes. After two days, I will personally deal with them."

When we arrive in Lingnan, infrastructure construction is about to begin.

I have to go on a long trip tomorrow, so I will write more than 3000 words today.I’ll update more when I get back from overseas.

Finally, thank you veterans for voting last month!
