I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 57 Assassination!

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different.

Zhu Biao was kind-hearted by nature, but Zhu Xi was extremely cruel.

So cruel that he often takes pleasure in killing people.

After he was named the King of Qin, he liked to abuse lynching very much.

For example, cutting out a person's tongue, burying the person in the snow and freezing to death, tying the person to a tree to starve to death, burning to death with fire, etc.

All of this is just for him to pass the time when he is bored and enjoy himself.

For this reason, Lao Zhu has always been very fond of him and once scolded him as "ignorant of human affairs, stupid as a beast".

In addition, Zhu Xi is also very bold.

How big is it?

He dared to make a dragon bed for himself and dress his wife in a queen's costume.

Now, Zhu Ping decided to use the boldest, simplest and most direct method to deal with those who might compete with him for the throne.

Kill Zhu Yunxi!

Zhu Yunxi was invited by Zhu Di to go out to hunt in the city. When he died, Zhu Di could hardly absolve himself of the blame.

In this way, the two competitors were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Of course, Zhu Xi is not a fool.

He still knows how to leave a way out for himself.

Therefore, the person who went to attack and kill Zhu Yunxi was not from his Qin Palace, but from the Wu family, a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River.

……

Wu House.

Several stewards of the Wu family are here.

"You said, let us attack and kill His Highness the Fourth Emperor?"

Wu Wanggeng, Patriarch of the Wu family, looked at the envoy of King Qin who came, his voice was full of shock.

"Not bad!"

The envoy sent by Zhu Xi nodded.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has said that if this matter comes to pass, the Wu family will be granted the title of Marquis in the future."

Wu Wanggeng shook his head and said: "My Wu family is just lingering on its last legs. It is enough to keep the current family business, and I don't expect to be appointed as a marquis."

"Assassinating His Royal Highness, this is a crime of copying and beheading."

"I……"

Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the envoy of King Qin.

"What? Wu Wanggeng, do you still want to refuse?"

"Don't forget the identity of your Wu family."

"Now Bu Sibei is still in the prison of Yingtian Mansion because he collided with Zhu Yunzhen."

"You guys, what is the relationship between the Wu family and the Bu family, and what is their origin, don't I need to tell you?"

"Zhu Yunzhen has received the order to strictly interrogate Bu Sibei. If he finds out your identity and origins, can your Wu family's family fortune be preserved?"

"Now we're going to pull the trigger and kill Zhu Yunzhen, so that your crisis can be resolved."

"If not, His Majesty will not be able to spare you if His Highness King Qin doesn't take action...Hmph..."

The messenger didn't continue to say anything, but the meaning was self-evident.

After a while, the messenger said again:
"Didn't your Wu family still raise a group of desperadoes? Just send them there. Even if the court investigates, they will not be able to find your Wu family."

Wu Wanggeng's expression changed again and again, and he remained silent.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind, and his face became ferocious.

"Okay, the old man will make arrangements immediately. We must kill Zhu Yunxi before he returns to Jinling City."

……

On the carriage, Zhu Yunzhen came back from his thoughts, lowered the curtains, and looked at Xu Miaojin, who was sleeping soundly.

"You can fall asleep on such a bumpy road, it's really..."

He smiled and shook his head.

The carriages of this era did not have the shock absorption system of later generations.

Although the road surface is paved with blue bricks, it is far from smooth as a cement road.

The carriage drove up and down.

Anyway, Zhu Yunxi couldn't fall asleep, but Xu Miaojin could only admire him for being able to sleep so soundly.

"Hey, wait!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Xu Miaojin slept so deeply that she didn't seem to fall asleep normally.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, only to find that her forehead was burning hot.

"Is this little girl sick?"

Zhu Yunxuan was startled and immediately found a wound on Xu Miaojin's half-open chest.

Around the wound, it was slightly blackened, as if poisonous.

However, the wound had been simply treated and medicine was applied.

It may be that the weather was too hot and there was no bandage, but it probably wouldn't be life-threatening.

"He is really naughty and strong-tempered."

Zhu Yunzhen had already guessed that Xu Miaojin might not be as relaxed as she said when she went to get the jade pendant back.

The two sides may have played against each other, and Xu Miaojin was injured because of this.

She had been holding back the pain before and didn't show it at all.

The little girl is so stubborn.

"Stop the car!" Zhu Yunxuan ordered: "Send someone to the best medical center in the city immediately and ask for a doctor."

Xu Miaojin's injury was actually unbearable and she needed to rest.

And Zhu Yunxi was not at ease about her own simple handling.

In this era, there are no antibiotics. The weather is hot now, and bacteria are easy to breed. Once the wound is infected, the consequences will be disastrous.

Immediately, a guard led the order to go.

Time passed by, and in the middle of the afternoon, a carriage came across the road.

"Ying'er, why are you here?"

Seeing the people getting off the carriage, Zhu Yunxi was taken aback for a moment.

"The servant waited at the gate of the city early in the morning. His Highness has not returned. The servant was worried, so he came to have a look. Fortunately, His Highness is fine."

Zhu Yunxi laughed dumbly and said: "I just went out of the city to hunt with my fourth uncle, what can happen? You worry too much."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

boom!
The sound of a bow string sounded.

A sharp arrow shot straight at him.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Ying'er's complexion changed drastically, and she threw herself towards Zhu Yunxi.

Use your own body to firmly protect his young body.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Stab it!

The sharp arrow flew quickly and fell into Yinger's heart.

thump!
She fell heavily to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground.

"Ying'er!"

Zhu Yunxi's complexion changed drastically, and he screamed out.

"kill!"

Dozens of men in black rushed out from the dense forest not far away.

"There are assassins!"

"Protect His Royal Highness!"

The guards were all shocked and immediately fell into a fierce battle.

This time Zhu Yunxi was traveling in modest clothes, and he didn't bring many guards with him.

Although all of them are masters, it is difficult for them to beat four hands with two fists.

Soon, all the famous guards fell into a pool of blood.

Before dying, they also killed most of the assassins in black, but they were still unable to save their lives.

Zhu Yunzhen did not panic or run away. He just sat quietly in front of Ying'er's body, looking at Ying'er who was still looking at her and protecting her until her death, and two lines of clear tears rolled out.

Ying'er gets along with her day and night, but he doesn't understand Ying'er.

She is a maidservant, but also a person of flesh and blood.

She would rather die herself than let His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor suffer any harm.

Perhaps, this is her life belief.

Zhu Yunxi raised his head and looked at the man in black who was approaching step by step.

With his current small body, it is impossible to escape.

"go to hell!"

A man in black growled and slashed at him with a knife.

Swish!
A beam of sword light rose from inside the carriage.

Xu Miaojin's figure flew out.

A sword pierced the man's throat.

"Why are you still in a daze, go and drive the carriage, let's go!"

The next moment, Xu Miaojin suddenly picked up his body and threw him into the carriage.

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Xu Miaojin's sword was fast and fierce.

One sword can harvest a life.

But just a few sword blows almost exhausted all her energy.

Although she is strong, she is only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl after all.

Last night, he ran around repeatedly, and he was injured again, so how many sword strikes he can make is already the limit.

On the carriage, Zhu Yunxi came to his senses, rode his horse and raised his whip!

"drive!"

He whipped the horse hard.

The carriage suddenly rushed forward, facing the few remaining assassins in black.

"boarding!"

When passing by Xu Miaojin's side, he shouted at Xu Miaojin whose body was already crumbling.

Xu Miaojin's figure suddenly rose from the ground, and in mid-air, he turned back with a sword and killed the man in black who was pursuing him.

With a bang, her body fell heavily on the carriage, and she fainted.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Yunxi exerted all his breastfeeding strength and whipped the horse hard again.

Angry horses gallop.

The carriage galloped like flying, heading straight for Jinling City.
