Comprehensive Martial Arts: The Emperor's Growth Plan

Chapter 11 Assassination in the middle of the night
King Cheng's traveling team was naturally unimpeded all the way. On the way, when they passed by counties and counties, the local officials would take the initiative to hold banquets for Zhao Xuan and give some gifts. Accompanying Zhui Ming, Duan Tianya and others also showed great enthusiasm,

Although Zhao Xuan didn't have much power and couldn't control them, but the other party was a nobleman after all, he had just been conferred the title of prince, and his status was respected, and now that the dispute over the country was still undecided, no one knew who would end up with it.

Even if the chance is slim, who can guarantee that Zhao Xuan has no chance at all?
People in the officialdom are not foolish, who will do it without any benefit, and offend others for no reason?What's more, there are officials, colleagues, or nobles who come to your site. Treating guests to dinner and cleaning up the dust is a matter of etiquette and custom.

At the banquet, even if the officials were respectful and obsequious to Zhao Xuan, it didn't mean anything. It didn't mean that they wanted to join Zhao Xuan. Can't drop a few more pieces of meat.If the other party ascends to the throne in the future, it will be a big profit!
Anyway, it doesn't cost a lot to treat guests to dinner and give some gifts, and you can even make money!It's my official and the prince who gave you face when I came to eat here, otherwise why don't you go to another place!How dare you ask for money!Besides, that restaurant owner is so stupid to take money?Not only do you not charge money, but you also have to send gifts to express your gratitude!It's one thing if people accept it or not, but it's another if you don't give it away!
The owner of the restaurant is not at a loss, the guests and the host have a good time, the magistrate and county magistrate will naturally remember your kindness afterwards, those who have nothing to do can get involved, and those who have relationships can get closer, and you can also advertise for free, look!Even the prince has come to eat with us, and praised our delicious food!Isn't the reputation of this restaurant spread?

Not to mention ordinary people, even the sons of noble families and famous families, few people have the opportunity to see what the prince looks like. It doesn't matter if you don't see it. If you come to our restaurant to eat, you can taste the food that the prince praised. It means you have had dinner with the prince!
The business of the restaurant is naturally booming!

In this way, no one loses, and everyone gets it.

"My lord, I would like to offer you a toast! I wish you a bright future! I will do my best to respect you!"

"Oh~, Master Duan is so enthusiastic, this king has done it too!"

Seeing that the two people with the highest status had both drank, the people sitting beside them had no reason to watch. They all praised Zhao Xuan and Duan Zhifu as the heroes of the wine, and they all stood up and toasted.

At the banquet, Zhao Xuan and everyone mingled with each other, it was so lively!

Although he had never attended a banquet in the palace before, Zhao Xuan was good at dancing, good at observing, and he could guess the minds of everyone, and he was the center of the banquet, the object of fawning, so he handled it naturally and with ease.Besides, with his skill, it is modest to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Compared to Zhao Xuan, who was enjoying the delicious food and wine and being praised by everyone, Zhui Ming and Duan Tianya were miserable!
Although Zhao Xuan tried his best to invite the two of them to the table, they refused. After all, they are Zhao Xuan's bodyguards now, and they must put Zhao Xuan's safety first!
In order to ensure Zhao Xuan's safety, they not only had to check the safety of the food in the kitchen to see if anyone had poisoned them, they also had to guard the outside of the banquet hall to prevent assassins from attacking him. Know how to blush!

Although I felt that no one would be free to hurt Zhao Xuan, the harmless prince, but both of them were conscientious and conscientious people.

The people sent by Dongchang couldn't take a break either, so they stayed outside. After all, there were a lot of them, and when it came to assassination and poisoning, they were all quite skilled, not to mention masters. Well, after all, they often do these things, practice makes perfect!

As for why the people in Dongchang listened to their orders, it was all because of Zhao Xuan's orders and their inferior skills.In the final analysis, Dongchang is the lackey of the emperor. They can bark their teeth at will to the court ministers, but they can't do anything to their masters. Disobedient dogs have only a dead end!
So even though they didn't want to, they could only obey Zhao Xuan's order. Fortunately, the other party asked everyone to focus on chasing their lives instead of Duan Tianya, and they could accept it in their hearts.

Although their relationship with the Shenhou Mansion is not good, it is not so bad. The main opponents of Zhuge Zhengwo and the four famous arresters are Cai Jing, Fu Zongshu and others, as well as some people in the Jianghu. Usually, there is not much conflict with Dongchang. , but Dongchang and Hulong Villa are deadly enemies, and they both want to kill each other!

Now the two sides are working together under the same roof. Although they are dirty with each other, they dare not make any mistakes. If Zhao Xuan encounters an accident or gets injured, they might as well commit suicide directly, and it will be a happy ending!Otherwise, the mission would fail, just thinking about the methods of tormenting people in Dongchang, I wish my parents didn't give birth to me!
Another reason is that they will naturally be patient with the dead!Cao Zhengchun had already issued a secret order, and when they brought King Cheng safely to the palace, they would intercept and kill Duan Tianya on the way back, so as to cut off Zhu Tiedan's arm!
As for chasing after life, if you don't join in, you can let him go, if he doesn't know what to do, let him go on the road together!
In the middle of the night, the banquet was over.

After Chen Chongying and the others helped Zhao Xuan, who was pretending to be drunk, to return slowly to the station, surrounded by heavy soldiers guarding them, they were relieved. They all went back to rest after a tiring day.

Soldiers on patrol yawn and chat

"I said, Lao Chen, why did you send the two of us to patrol in the middle of the night? If you want me to say that Zhu Papi is really not a thing, he usually tries his best to get money from us, just because each of us gives him gifts, what kind of dirty work? It’s really not a thing to give us all the hard work!”

"Isn't it? What the hell! Isn't it because my brother-in-law is a captain? Otherwise, who would treat him as an onion!"

"Yes, yes"

"I'm still telling you, uh—"

A snow-white sword light flashed, and the two of them died before they finished complaining!
The two men in black quickly took off their clothes and changed them back on. Behind them, there were other men in black dragging the corpse into the alley to hide. Soon, the men in black who pretended to be night watch soldiers returned to the station
At the gate of the post station, the captain who led a team of soldiers to watch the night saw them coming, frowned and shouted angrily:
"You two bastards! If you don't patrol well, what are you doing when you come back! Could it be that you want to disobey the military order!"

Don't look at what he said was serious, but what he was thinking in his heart was how to blackmail them this time when he caught the two of them!

"Don't, don't, we're here because we have something important to report!"

The voices of the two of them were exactly the same as the voices of the dead soldiers!
And when he heard that the other party had something to report, the captain didn't dare to be negligent, but secretly said that he was unlucky, why did the accident happen when he was on his vigil.

And as the two people on the opposite side approached, with the light of the fire, the captain realized that there was something wrong with them!

But before he could open his mouth, the man in black had already struck first!With a dodge, all the soldiers on guard at night fell to the ground, and blood slowly flowed from them.

The men in black didn't dare to waste time. They took out the kerosene they had already prepared from their pockets, threw it into the door, picked up the torch, lit it, and threw it out together. The fire quickly ignited and burst out. Billowing smoke.

At the same time, other guarding soldiers encountered accidents one after another. Dozens of killers also dressed in black flocked to Zhao Xuan's residence!
