I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 96 Who wants the widow's life? ! (asking for a ticket)
Since Guo Kai came back from Dayozawa, he disappeared, and Liu He didn't even know if he was still in Changyi City.

Unexpectedly, the other party is quite conscientious, and has been secretly guarding the Changyi Palace.

The appearance of Guo Kai delayed the progress of the assassins.

Presumably, Guo Kai's sharpness in raising the knife just now has deterred them and made them hesitate a little bit.

Guo Kai was like a thick and short mountain, standing in front of Liu He without retreating an inch.

At this time, the dozen or so soldiers standing in the surrounding corridors finally came to their senses. Although they did not receive as much training as the officials, they were already the best among the soldiers who were sent to guard the palace. the ones.

So, they hid their fear, shouted and rushed towards the assassin.

The leader of the assassins waved his hand, and they were divided into two parts.

Eight people went to deal with the rushing Tingzu, and the remaining five people went to deal with Guo Kai.

For a while, Guo Kai, the assassin, and the Ting Zu were fighting in the courtyard.

The harmony of swords and swords complements the cold moon in the sky.

In this way, Liu He became the most useless person. Although he had stood up, he didn't know what to do.

Liu He stood in Fuyao Hall with trembling legs, while Guo Kai stood guard at the entrance of the not-so-large hall, fighting with the assassins.

And in the courtyard is the battlefield of the pavilion soldiers.

The movements of Guo Kai and the assassins were not gorgeous at all, but rather ugly.

In the eyes of Liu He, who doesn't know swordsmanship, it is not much different from the street fighting that he has seen before.

But back and forth, full of killing intent.

Probing for a long time, shooting for a short time.

Blood is often seen as soon as a shot is made.

In just a few breaths, Guo Kai fought the assassin several times, and there was another corpse in front of him.

There were also two bleeding wounds on Guo Kai's body.

It seems that no matter how powerful a ranger is, it is impossible to deal with an enemy several times his own.

If it weren't for the "topography" of occupying the gate of the palace, Guo Kai might not be able to stop the opponent.

Unable to attack for a long time, the assassins were a little impatient. When they planned the assassination, they obviously didn't take Guo Kai into consideration.

Although the pavilion soldiers in the yard were no match for the assassins and had already fallen halfway, the assassins still couldn't cross Guo Kai's barrier.

Liu He had settled down now, and he remembered what Chen Xiu said in the county prison a month ago.

At that time when Guo Kai was captured, a dozen or so officials managed to capture him by fighting with wheels.

Then these assassins should not be his opponents.

After several more fights, the assassins were really helpless in front of Guo Kai.

At this time, a familiar shout came from the courtyard door.

"Escort, protect Your Highness!"

It turned out that it was Dai Zong who brought the pavilion soldiers from other halls to reinforce.

With the arrival of forty or fifty pawns holding spears, the entire courtyard looked extremely cramped.

After a while of fighting, the assassin who was "showing off his might" just now was suddenly turned into a hedgehog by the spear in the soldier's hand.

In the face of the advantage in numbers, the so-called personal force is not worth a question at all.

The so-called enemy of a hundred or ten thousand does not exist at all.

Guo Kai's "ten-man enemy" is already commendable.

Not long after, the four assassins who confronted Guo Kai were forced to retreat into the courtyard, and were surrounded by the densely packed spears of the pavilion soldiers.

Guo Kai, covered in blood, finally fell to the ground, swearing vulgar words in the market, while tearing off the cloth strips to bandage himself.

Assassination is to be taken by surprise, if the timing is missed, it will be a dead end.

With blood on his face, Dai Zong came to Liu He with his sword in hand, and knelt down on one knee.

"Your Highness, I have neglected my duty, please forgive me!"

Of course it was a dereliction of duty. If Liu He was still the king of Changyi, then naturally there would be no need to increase the guards of the palace.

But now that Liu He is the candidate for the crown prince, more and more people will know this news.

This also means that the danger will increase.

Of course, the strength of the guards should be increased in advance.

This is not only Dai Zong's dereliction of duty, but also An Le's dereliction of duty, and Liu He's own dereliction of duty.

Liu He didn't blame Dai Zong, he himself who was able to "see the future", never thought that the method of assassination would come so quickly, let alone Dai Zong and the others.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, get up."

"only!"

"Find someone to treat Guo Kai's injuries."

"Hey hey hey, King Xiaochangyi, this thing is getting more and more interesting, you don't want to die before going to Chang'an, otherwise it will be a lot less fun to see you princes and ministers killing each other , It’s really a pleasant thing, hehehehe.”

Liu He ignored Guo Kai's teasing words, he calmed down for a moment, finally raised his trembling feet, and walked out of Fuyao Hall steadily.

After a few steps, he came to the courtyard.

Through layers of pavilions, he finally saw those assassins who were still trying to resist.

Liu He was thinking silently, thinking about what negotiation strategy he should use to persuade the other party.

When the leading assassin saw Liu He approaching, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

Before Liu He could speak, the assassin raised his hand suddenly.

With lightning speed, those assassins rushed forward and slammed into the spears of the pavilion guards.

In an instant, several terrifying sounds of the body being torn apart pierced into everyone's ears. The cruel sound made everyone close their eyes.

When people looked at the assassins again, they saw a terrifying scene.

All the assassins were pierced by several spears, and blood flowed all over the place.

The smell of blood spread in the air.

The leading assassin was not completely dead, he slowly raised the ring-sword in his hand and slashed it across his neck.

Looking at Liu He with a pair of red eyes, he slowly cut his neck open.

Without struggling, he went to die calmly.

His eyes never moved away from Liu He's face.

I am afraid that since these assassins entered the Changyi Palace, no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, they never thought about getting out alive.

Dead man!

This word came out of Liu He's mind.

"Dai Zong!"

"The servants are here!"

"The widow is tired, immediately invite An Lexiang and Lieutenant Wang Ji, the three of you will deal with the aftermath of the matter here together, the widow will question you tomorrow!"

"only!"

Liu He didn't say anything more, and turned back to the Fuyao Hall, and his servants ran over and closed the door.

There were many people outside the hall, but inside the hall was silent.

Liu He didn't even change his robes, so he lay down on the couch.

Although he didn't have a trace of blood on his body, he still felt that his body was full of bloody smell.

For a long time in the future, when Liu He sees the moon, what he thinks of may not only be thoughts, but death.

Death is near.

It's not that Liu He is ignorant of the risks and cruelty of court struggles, but in his inherent imagination, the mainstream of court struggles is intellectual struggle, and assassination and poisoning are not popular methods.

Just like a bald man more than 2000 years later, he likes to use assassination the most to be ashamed of the world.

But today, he understood that there is no difference between inflow and inflow, only the difference between ineffective and effective.

If I hadn't met Guo Kai by chance and ransomed for him, then my head would have been cut off at this moment.

Fortunately, but more of a fear!
Who the hell is this, who wanted to kill himself so early?
Does this have anything to do with the late arrival group?

Did the Changyi king in history also encounter assassination?

Just how much untold history has been covered up?

……

Countless questions popped up in Liu He's mind.

It seems that either he took Changyi King's ascension to the throne too simply.

Or history has shifted unknowingly.

What happened tonight reminded Liu He: the struggle in the Great Han Dynasty was more bloody and cruel than he imagined.

Thinking of this, Liu He felt sleepy for a while.

This short quarter of an hour of thrilling exhausted Liu He.

I hope that Wang Ji and An Le can find some useful information tomorrow.

Finally, Liu He passed out.
