Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 726 Assassination (1 more)
After Dong Han left, the entire back hall of the clan mansion fell into a strange silence.

Zhao Xi stood in front of the mahogany veneered painting cabinet carved with ancient patterns, and slowly put the painting with dried ink into it.

On the Yingping wooden table next to it, there is a platform sword stand, on which Zhao Xi's protective sword, the Taixu sword, is horizontally placed.

Except for the fine rubbing sound when he collected the painting, there was no other sound, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

After closing the door of the painting cabinet, Zhao Xi gently grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, but in an instant, he pulled out the sword with lightning speed, turned around quickly, and put the sword horizontally in front of him, which was enough to block the broken door. And the sharp arrow that entered.

The other party's skill was very good, just like what Zhao Xi had guessed earlier, all those who came were masters.

And it was obvious that the assassination at night was just fake news deliberately released by Yang Shoufu, and the real assassination had already started now.

After several bang bangs, the doors and windows were broken open, and someone jumped down from the roof. A group of more than a dozen people surrounded Zhao Xi. He closed his head, covered his face with a mask, leaving only a pair of cold and poisonous eyes.

It's a dead man.

It seems that Yang Xiong'an spent a lot of money in order to prevent him from leaving the clan's mansion alive.

Zhao Xi didn't have much time to think, he jumped into the air, swept the Taixu sword, and fought with the dead soldiers.

……

Partial hospital.

The person who assassinated the prince was arranged by her grandfather, Yang Xueru felt guilty, and was thinking about how to explain all this to him when she saw Zhao Xi for a while, when she heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the direction of the back hall.

At this time, it was still earlier than the assassination time that grandfather said.

Yang Xueru thought she had heard wrong, so she walked to the door, and listened for a while with straight ears, the sound of swords clashing became more and more intense, she finally realized that the assassination of the prince at night by her grandfather in the study was just a cover, those assassins, probably He had already sneaked into the clan mansion.

Shocked, Yang Xueru took a step and ran towards the direction of the fighting sound.

She was going to stop this assassination, using herself as a threat to force her grandfather to withdraw and rescue the prince.

It's a pity that she had a good idea, but in fact, the fighting scene where the sword energy was flowing and the rubble was flying randomly didn't allow her to get close at all.

As soon as she arrived outside the inner hall, Yang Xueru was knocked to the ground by the flying dead men. She got up with a cry of pain, and saw seven or eight dead men inside, beating Zhao Xi alone, and several dead men were lying on the ground. The soldier's corpse was covered with blood.

Such a scene had too much visual impact for the pampered Yang Xueru, she suddenly felt nauseated, and before she had time to vomit, another dead man was kicked out.

Yang Xueru hurriedly hid behind the pillar, covered her mouth and poked her head out to look.

This assassination came too fast and suddenly, completely out of her expectation, she didn't know how to appear in order to become the most effective hostage.

At this moment, a young man's furious voice came from not far away, "Kill me, leave no one behind!"

Yang Xueru turned her head and saw Song Yuanbao bringing five or six hidden guards.

But in the blink of an eye, those hidden guards flashed into the inner hall like a gust of wind.

With so many people joining, the sound of fighting inside became more and more intense.

Yang Xueru only thought that Song Yuanbao went in with the hidden guards, but she just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard someone say, "What are you doing here?"

Yang Xueru's expression changed in fright, and she almost limp and sat down against the pillar. She turned her head with difficulty, and met Song Yuanbao's cold eyes.

There was a sound of "Shua—" and without waiting for an explanation, Song Yuanbao's sharp long sword was already across her neck.

"Don't, don't kill me!" Yang Xueru trembled when she encountered such a scene for the first time, "I, I'm not a bad person."

"The assassin inside was arranged by your grandfather."

Song Yuanbao was not asking her, but was just stating the facts in a calm tone.

However, the calmer you are, the more dangerous you feel.

"It has nothing to do with me." Yang Xueru explained with a pale face, "I am facing His Highness."

"Why should I trust you?"

"You don't have to believe me, but you have to believe this." Yang Xueru shook her hand and took out a token from her sleeve pocket.

It is Yang Shoufu's token to transfer the dead.

"I didn't arrange these people, I just stole my grandfather's token." Yang Xueru said: "With this, you can threaten them."

Song Yuanbao squinted his eyes, obviously having various doubts about Yang Xueru's words.

Seeing that he still refused to believe it, Yang Xueru almost burst into tears, "If it's really impossible, you can take me hostage, and I'll go out with the token, and they will definitely be afraid."

Hearing this, Song Yuanbao held a sword in one hand and pulled Yang Xueru over with the other forcefully, he really took her in and shouted loudly: "Stop it all, or I'll kill her!"

The development of the matter was completely out of Yang Xueru's plan, the person who held her hostage was not Zhao Xi, she could feel the cold blade pressing against her throat.

Song Wei died at the hands of the Tongji Society, and the master behind the Tongji Society was Yang Shoufu. Yang Xueru knew very well that she might not survive if she fell into the hands of Song Yuanbao, so she was very afraid.

Seeing that Yang Xueru was holding a token in his hand, the dead soldiers inside looked at each other, and the fighting gradually stopped, pointing their swords at Song Yuanbao one by one, looking at him with vigilant eyes.

"Who is this, I don't think I need to introduce you any more. If any of you dare to touch the crown prince today, I will let her die without a place to bury her!"

Saying that, the strength of the sword on Yang Xueru's neck intensified a little.

Blood was immediately seen on Yang Xueru's neck, she was terrified, she raised the token even more, and said with difficulty: "Back off, back off for me!"

The principle of the dead men to perform missions is to never stop dying, but Yang Xueru took the token in his hand, so they had to retreat halfway.

The hidden guards brought by Zhao Xi also retreated gradually.

Soon, there were only Zhao Xi, Song Yuanbao, Yang Xueru who was held hostage by Song Yuanbao, and the undisposed corpses on the ground.

Song Yuanbao didn't let go of Yang Xueru, he knocked the woman unconscious with a knife in his hand, found a rope, tied the woman to a pillar, took her token and put it in his arms, and then looked at Zhao Xi, "Mr. The late arrival surprised His Highness."

Zhao Xi glanced at Yang Xueru, "Why is she here?"

Song Yuanbao replied: "I came to die myself, I can't stop it." After a pause, he asked again: "Where did your Highness get hurt?"

Zhao Xi shook his head, "No."

Song Yuanbao looked at the corpse of the dead man on the ground, and gritted his teeth with hatred, "I never thought that the Yang family would be so bold as to openly assassinate the prince. By the way, Your Highness, when I came, I heard that none of the ministers who went to court this morning did not return Home, probably something happened in the palace, the emperor is in danger, should we rescue him now?"

Zhao Xi sat down, without the slightest panic and embarrassment after the fight. Although the dead soldiers who came were all masters, their grades were lower than his, so it was not too difficult to deal with them.

Song Yuanbao didn't hear Zhao Xi's answer, and called softly, "Your Highness?"

"It's not appropriate to go out at this time." Zhao Xi said slowly.

"why?"

"The martial arts level of dead soldiers is lower than mine. Fighting alone, they can't beat me. Yang Xiong'an wants to play crowd tactics." Zhao Xidao: "The assassination just now is just the beginning. If I expected it well, after you come in, wait for me." The dead soldiers outside began to redeploy, two fists are no match for four hands, going out now, can only be sent to death."

"Then what should we do?" Song Yuanbao asked anxiously, "With such a big incident, we can only sit and wait for death?"

"No." Zhao Xi said: "At this time, the rescuers have already entered the capital, and someone will arrange for the next thing. Let's wait and see."

Song Yuanbao looked at him suspiciously, "Who is your Highness talking about?"

"Song Wei."

Song Yuanbao lowered his eyelids, "If I hadn't seen Yun Huai take my father away for treatment, I would almost have thought that he was the one lying in the coffin that day."

Zhao Xi smiled, "Song Wei has my transfer order in his hand, he dare not just die like this."

Song Yuanbao sighed, "Honestly, Your Highness, did you already know that the Yang family was plotting?"

"The Yang family did not conspire in a day or two, but it is really unexpected that they thought of forcing the palace so quickly."

"Then, the reason why the emperor was hit by the arrow is because the Yang family did it behind the scenes, trying to use the mechanism to trap His Highness?"

Zhao Xidao: "The arrow on Father's chest was not done by the Yang family."

Song Yuanbao became more and more confused the more he listened, "Who else could it be? Could it be that it's really you, Your Highness?"

"It's really me."

Song Yuanbao was dumbfounded, "You?"

Assassinating a monarch is a serious crime!
"I shot the arrow, but it was an accident that the father was shot. Eunuch Cui didn't lie, it was a stray arrow."

Song Yuanbao still felt that it was impossible, "Your Highness is a master of arrows with infallible shots. It's enough for you to shoot an arrow in the air, but it's too far-fetched to be able to hit the emperor with a flowing arrow?"
