Chapter 22
After searching for the loot from the two corpses, Zhao Hongming sneaked in the shadows, avoided everyone, and returned to Qingfeng Pavilion smoothly.

He returned to the bedroom and put down the bloody long knife.

This sword is made of hundred forged steel according to the Da Wei's Forbidden Army.

Counting carefully, this is the first time it has seen blood.

Zhao Hongming carefully recalled the scene he saw before on the bed.

In his impression, the position of the right guard general in front of the hall should only be held by a warrior who has reached the state of Tongqiao.

That is to say, Dai Gongzheng, who had his head chopped off with a knife in the room, was at least a first-rank cultivation base.

And martial artists at this level still can't prevent certain poisons.

He also thought that when the martial artist's cultivation reached the level of enlightenment or even higher, he would not be afraid of such indiscriminate methods.

It still seems a bit overstated now.

As for the assassin who was hacked to death by him, in his eyes, his methods, temperament and cultivation were definitely superior to his.

That assassin killed without batting an eyelid, and he did everything seamlessly, every step of the way.

If it wasn't for being bumped into by him by chance, it would be enough to drink a pot later.

And after what happened tonight, Zhao Hongming had some insights into martial arts.

In his opinion, the most important thing to win or lose is the brain.

Some people practice very good skills, but when facing the enemy, they don't know how to think, they are slow to attack, and have many loopholes. On the contrary, people will take advantage of the loopholes and find the fatal point.

He only showed one out of ten of his martial arts, and finally died in Huangquan.

On the other hand, some people practice mediocre exercises, but they have a flexible mind and learn to use poison, use false moves, and borrow external forces.

In his hands, the power of six points has exerted the power of nine points, and in the end he was able to defeat the strong with the weak.

This is the result of fighting with the brain.

Tonight's battle can achieve the effect of four or two, and it is also because he has fully thought about it before starting, and has taken advantage of the right time, place and people in advance.

In the end, it was caught by surprise and caught off guard.

So read and think before doing it.

Hit if you can, run if you can't.

Don't feel ashamed of running away.

Running away is shameful but useful.

Only in this way can we save ourselves from many setbacks in the future.

Zhao Hongming replayed all the battles tonight to ensure that there were no omissions before he was satisfied and stopped thinking about it.

"Wang Bao, prepare a pot of hot water for me, and Ben Gong is going to make some hot soup."

"Yes!"

As a personal eunuch, Wang Bao would only leave after he fell asleep.

At this time, he was guarding the door of his room, ready to listen to his orders at any time.

After killing someone, there was still a smell of blood on his body.

Although he has the status of a prince, even if someone suspects him of murder, they will not do anything to him without definite evidence.

What's more, he still killed an assassin, which was credited to Da Wei.

But based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, Zhao Hongming didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

After all, he still has a lot of secrets that are difficult to explain clearly.

The current season is late autumn and early winter, and the weather in Dawei has turned cooler.

Zhao Hongming was in a happy mood soaking in the hot soup.

He did a little inventory just now, and gained a lot from the two corpses.

There are nearly 500 taels of silver alone.

Most of them were contributed by that assassin.

Zhao Hongming guessed that he needed a lot of money when he went out to do errands, so he brought a lot of bank notes.

In addition to silver taels, there are about twenty wish stones.

There is no time and space limit for the wishing stone.

Wufu will take it with him wherever he goes, so that it is convenient to practice and use at any time.

Instead of being locked at home and eating ashes in the cabinet, so this time it was cheaper for him.

It is said that it is a golden belt for murder and arson, and there are no corpses when repairing bridges and roads.

Zhao Hongming saw it once today.

With these resources in hand, in the next period of time, he will have to practice hard for a period of time.

Now there are assassins appearing in the palace, making it more and more unsafe.

You still have to practice hard and don't slack off in the slightest.

First strive to break through to the innate realm and become an innate warrior.

……

Play in the palace.

Wan Youqing, who was furious before, was sitting behind the long table, flipping through two books with blue covers.

There is a roster for tonight's guard schedule, and a roster for actual attendance.

Such a big mistake happened to their front office tonight, and he was worried that someone would tamper with this list.

General Dianqian Youwei, who had already moved his head, was in charge of this area of ​​affairs on behalf of Gongzheng.

So after the matter over there, he immediately brought his subordinates to check in person.

After a while, he stopped flipping through the pages.

There is a mismatch between the two rosters.

Five guards were assigned to the East No. [-] house where the fifth prince Zhao Hongming lived, but in fact only two were assigned to the post.

It was obviously altered by someone.

He called his subordinates and asked them to investigate carefully.

Due to such a mistake that happened at night, none of the subordinates dared to take advantage of the fish and be lazy.

After a while, the results of the investigation were presented to him.

According to the dictation of the guards on the list, it was Suzhi General Miao Muwang who transferred the remaining three guards from the East Fifth Institute.

There is a problem with this seedling Wang.

Wan Youqing immediately shouted: "Let General Su Zhi Miao Mu Wang quickly come to see me."

"All checks. A brother just came to report that General Miaomu Wangmiao's body was found in the mortuary tank in the palace."

Wan Youqing's already unattractive complexion became even more gloomy.

Today's events happened one after another, making his spirit highly alert, and his temples began to throb.

Wan Youqing rubbed his swollen temples, and reorganized all the known information.

He roughly guessed that tonight the Korean assassin with number [-] wanted to assassinate His Highness the Fifth Highness.

Thinking that there might be another assassin hiding in the palace, he said decisively without hesitation: "Immediately arrange five nimble brothers to go to the Fifth Highness's East Fifth Office to protect His Highness."

The people below cupped their fists and said, "Yes!"

"I hope it's not too late to make up for it, otherwise, I really can't bear to walk around. Damn, it's really troublesome." Wan Youqing said to himself.

Holding two rosters, he hastily walked towards Emperor Jian'an's bedroom—Qianqing Palace.

The matter tonight can be big or small, he must report it to Emperor Jian'an in time, and let Emperor Jian'an make a decision.

On the other side, Zhao Hongming, who had just finished bathing, walked out of the bathroom wearing a brocade robe.

Hearing the hustle and bustle outside, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What happened outside, why is it a bit noisy?"

"Your Highness, wait for a moment, and this servant will go and see." The personal eunuch Wang Bao hastily followed.

After a while, the eunuch Wang Bao went and returned, and said happily: "Your Highness, five guards have been sent to protect Your Highness from the front office."

The instigator, Zhao Hongming, was moved, and he could roughly guess that the former secretary of the palace had found something tricky, so he made a remedy in time.

The eunuch Wang Bao, who didn't know the truth, thought that Emperor Jian'an had changed his mind and took extra care of him, with a little joy on his face.

Zhao Hongming didn't try to puncture Wang Bao's beautiful fantasy.

In his view, relying on mountains and mountains will fall, relying on water and water will flow, and asking for others is better than asking for oneself.

Instead of waiting for the favor of Emperor Jian'an, it is better to spend more energy to improve your strength.
