Chapter 144

However, King An frowned tightly, originally thinking that as long as the emperor slept like this until he died, it would be the perfect solution.But now it seems that the emperor's illness was not at the right time, just because he has not found the imperial decree until now, the emperor wrote the imperial decree early, and his name was not in the imperial decree at all, this is what he guessed a long time ago What I heard, and later confirmed this from Eunuch Li's mouth.No one would give up their country to the son of a vassal king.He has been a proton in the capital for a long time, and he has been a good friend with the emperor for so many years. Since when did he no longer regard him as a role model, but an opponent, and a stumbling block? Prince An has forgotten.For so many years of fighting secretly, he has never gained the upper hand.

Since ancient times, it has not been uncommon to kill the king and father, and seize the throne.King An Jun is no longer the person who struggled with making this decision. He calmly thought that this is the right way, and this is the best way.If you want something in this world, just grab it and fight for it. He is always the most forbearing and outstanding hunter, and he will have the last laugh. With the support of Ji Junling behind him, although Ji Junling also has his own plans , but as long as he can sit in the seat, who knows what will happen in the future, isn't his father the king who was also one of the people who helped his brother get the seat?It's not that he is still being suppressed in a remote place, and he can't do anything big in his life.

He also did a good job. He tried his best to get along well with the princes in Beijing, and lowered his sense of existence, and gradually lowered the emperor's suspicion of himself. Originally, the current emperor's favorite was obviously himself. According to this rhythm, Shouldn't the person who should succeed to the throne and entrust Gu now be himself?
However, Ji Lingchen came out on the way.

From an incompetent useless prince who was almost executed in the cold palace to an opponent who can stand up to him and even far surpass his own status, King An always has a vicious feeling of anger in his heart when he faces Ji Lingchen. .At the beginning, Ji Lingchen was not even qualified to be an opponent in his heart.However, the emperor set his sights on him, raised him step by step like a son, and taught him the art of emperors. This waste actually has some skills, and he is a good soldier. However, the emperor actually wanted to appoint him as the regent, how could King An feel better.If it was possible, Ji Lingchen would have been hacked into pieces.

Just now, people under his command came to report that Qin Anan and Pei Zihua had stayed in a temple in Lincheng for a long time, and he had some doubts in his heart. Pei Zihua actually left the capital without permission and went to Lincheng. I made a guess.

If there is any place in the world where the imperial decree is safest, it is undoubtedly King Jing's Mansion.But everyone knows that the emperor has always trusted Ji Lingchen with 12 points, and that trust sometimes makes everyone feel jealous.In the past, King An even thought that the emperor had some secret relationship with Ji Lingchen, but the spies he sent later found nothing.King Anjun knew clearly that the emperor had never doubted Prince Jing's mansion.

Therefore, the imperial decree may really be in King Jing's Mansion.

As long as he wants to be here, King An can't help feeling a little irritable.You must know that if you know where the imperial decree is, the next step is to snatch it back, but where is King Jing's Mansion, there is no place where people can easily get close to him. He can send a letter to Ji Junling with the flying eagle to let his people do it, but he is worried. It seems that things in the capital need to be put aside. Anyway, the emperor's poison is hopeless, and the key is to get the imperial decree.

And Ji Junling has obviously received news here, even more detailed news
The spy said: "Just now, when Princess Jing left the temple, she put some incense candles and paper money in her compartment and took them there."

The spies under Ji Junling have always been good at this, and naturally they will not miss any details. It is not a big deal to bring incense candles to the temple. Qin An'an was originally playing the banner of worshiping Buddha.But talking about this matter here seems to have touched a string in Ji Junling's heart, could this be....How about a way to cover up?
Immediately Ji Junling shook his head again, how could it be, even if someone really wanted someone to come to fetch the imperial edict, it shouldn't be Qin An'an who came alone, Ji Lingchen was more or less the same.How could he come so hastily, so blatantly.

But what if this is her cover?
If Ji Lingchen came, perhaps it would be the real confirmation of the holy decree of King Jing's Mansion.In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Qin An'an concealed the whereabouts of the imperial decree and resorted to dangerous tactics, planning to come to the most dangerous place and the safest place, so what?

Ji Junling's eyes were heavy, and he was already lost in his own thoughts.But he didn't know that Qin Anan had led his thoughts all the way here.Knowing his suspicious nature, Qin An'an followed his weakness to set up the game all the way.Letting Qin Anan go, Ji Junling would feel uneasy because of this, and if he grabbed Qin Anan, he was afraid that it would be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and would expose himself instead.Ji Junling was so entangled, thought for a long time, and finally clenched his fist as if he had made up his mind and said: "Go, send a letter to Dan Zhen, now there is an opportunity in front of her, catch Qin An'an, and don't expose yourself."

The subordinates took orders to leave.Only then did Ji Junling let go of his hands, and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the clouds outside the courtyard wall, a sneer slowly overflowed.So what if you can't do it easily?After all, there is still a good sword in front of him. Dan Zhen's hatred for Qin An'an is deep in his bones, and Meng Gu has been lurking in Lin City for many years and is proficient in hiding.To kill someone with a borrowed knife, it is more appropriate to use the hands of these two people.Most importantly, they will succeed.

Never underestimate the jealousy of a woman.

......

On the carriage back home, Zhichun and Liu Er sat on Qin Anan's right, Zhiqiu sat on Qin Anan's left.Xu Zhichun and Liu Er also felt the unusual atmosphere today. Although Qin An'an didn't say anything and had been with Qin An'an for so long, they could still get a clue from Qin An'an's expression.Even Zhiqiu showed a little nervous look at this moment. Although Liu'er and Zhichun didn't know what was going on, they also became nervous.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, the carriage drove slowly, and when Liu'er and Zhichun began to feel relieved and were chatting and laughing in the carriage, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside. As the sound got closer, Zhichun was startled. The coachman sitting in front was a new recruit to the palace. Although he was calm, he spoke with a bit of panic: "Princess, someone is dead in front!"

The carriage jolted violently, Liu'er screamed, and opened the curtain of the carriage to take a look outside, but saw the crowd fleeing in all directions as if they had been scattered by something, looking like a mess, as if there was something terrible behind them I am chasing the general.Taking a closer look, among those ordinary people, there seemed to be some unusual people mixed in.These people are dressed like ordinary people, but they have a long knife in their hands. They chop up anyone they see, without any rules, and they chop off anyone they catch.Outside, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, and many people had fallen on the ground, and the blood was slowly accumulating, which looked shocking.

"It's not good, Wangfei," Liu'er said in horror: "Outsiders have assassins, and they use knives to chop people indiscriminately."

The crowd fled in all directions, and the sound of the knife piercing into the flesh mixed with the screams outside was so real that it made people tremble in their hearts.Qin Anan frowned, Zhiqiu had already pulled out her sword to protect Qin Anan, at this time, she must not leave Qin Anan even half a step.Zhichun said: "Coachman, go to the side quickly, don't go there."

It is obviously irrational to get out of the car at this time, so I don't know how many assassins are mixed in the crowd, and how many of them have been stabbed in the throat without defense.It's safer in the car, as long as you stay away from the crowd, Zhichun is a little annoyed, why didn't she remind the princess to bring more guards when she went out today.Now there is only Zhiqiu alone, even though Zhiqiu is a master of martial arts, he is a bit overwhelmed.

Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly felt the carriage tremble suddenly, and a clear splash of blood splashed onto the curtain in front of the carriage. The carriage ran forward crazily as if it had been hit violently.

"Coachman! Coachman!" Zhichun yelled as he supported Qin An'an with his hands to prevent her from being hit by the carriage rut.But there was no response for a long time, and then he opened the curtain, and his heart suddenly became cold.The coachman had a scimitar stuck in his chest, and at this moment half of his body was lying on the horse's back, obviously dead.And there was a small dagger on the horse's back. The horse was suffering from pain and galloped wildly. It couldn't stop for a while, and the crowd fleeing in front bumped into the carriage from time to time. Running forward desperately, as if he was about to fall down in the next moment and be trampled into a pile of mud by the crowd rushing up.

Zhiqiu was protecting Qin An'an, but the carriage seemed to have bumped into something blunt suddenly, the horse neighed, and the entire carriage body was thrown forward violently, and the whole carriage was thrown out.

"Ah—" Liu'er screamed. She was sitting on the outermost side, but she was thrown directly out of the carriage. Liu Er screamed, and hurriedly opened the curtain of the car to look out, only to see that Liu Er had really been thrown into the crowd. She was thrown too quickly, and she fell directly to the ground. The chaotic crowd was screaming and fleeing. He looked at his feet again, stepping on Liu'er's body one by one.And Qin Anan's eyes were fixed, and he saw that one of the men in coarse linen had quietly pulled out the short knife in his waist and stabbed Liu'er in the back——

"Liu'er!" Zhichun also saw it, and suddenly cried out.Liu'er was suddenly stabbed in the back, the pain was so painful that he could barely speak, the man wanted to strike again, Qin An'an had already ordered Zhiqiu decisively: "Zhiqiu, go and help Liu'er!"

"Princess..." Zhiqiu hesitated, she and Liu'er were not without affection, they had been together day and night for such a long time, and they already regarded Liu'er as a friend.But the rule in the dark guards has always been to protect the master to the greatest extent, to protect Liu'er, who will protect Qin An'an staying here and Zhichun who doesn't know martial arts at all?

"Go!" Qin An'an emphasized her tone, she saw Zhiqiu's hesitation, and ordered in a cold voice.Zhiqiu paused, the master was ordered not to disobey, and immediately ran towards Liu'er without hesitation.Liu'er was watching the knife stabbing at her chest, but she couldn't dodge it no matter what. Just when she was terrified, she saw Zhiqiu blocked the dagger stabbing at her chest with a long sword, and swung the sword with her backhand. Stabbing the man's throat, the man fell down.Zhichun looked at Zhiqiu with lingering fear, and ignored the pain in his back, gritted his teeth and said, "Go, go to the princess..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned, and saw Liu'er lying half on the ground in front of the broken carriage, a smear of blood was shocking, and he didn't know who it was, but looking around, there was no Qin An'an shadow?

"Oops!" Zhiqiu said.

After Zhiqiu said this, he couldn't care about anything else, but he couldn't let Liu'er go, so he had to help her and walked aside with difficulty, but saw Zhichun lying on the ground, when a knife mark on his chest was shocking, and he wanted to come to that place. The blood should flow from Zhichun's body.Liu'er was still somewhat awake, seeing this scene, she was both shocked and frightened, the one who was shocked was that Zhichun was seriously injured, she didn't know how the injury was at the moment, and the one who was afraid was that Qin Anan had disappeared.She wanted to call Qin Anan's name weakly, but Zhiqiu suddenly stopped her and said, "Stop shouting, we've been tricked."

Liu'er is not stupid either, after thinking about it, she realized that the assassins in these crowds suddenly yelled at the unarmed civilians, could it be that it was just a slap in the face, and the main purpose was to take Qin An'an away?Thinking of this, Liu'er was afraid for a while, she had lost too much blood, and now her face was even paler, almost crumbling, and said: "The princess is in danger... Zhiqiu, what should I do?"

Zhiqiu looked around, and the people around were still running around. She suddenly noticed something, and saw that there were incense candles and paper money in the back of the carriage. Qin Anan specially ordered several small wooden boxes in the carriage, but all of them had disappeared at this moment.She suddenly realized something, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that the princess did it on purpose...."

"What did you say?" Liu'er's voice became lower and lower. Seeing this, Zhiqiu couldn't care about anything else. At this moment, one of the two was unconscious and the other was seriously injured. Although Qin Anan was also very nervous, if What happened to Liu'er and Zhichun, wouldn't it be a waste of Qin Anan's painstaking efforts.Since Qin An'an could have figured out this situation long ago, he must have a way to deal with it.After Zhiqiu has been with Qin An'an for so long, he also understands Qin An'an's temperament somewhat.Immediately, he took out a signal firework from his bosom, but it was still early in the day, and the firework blooming was not obvious enough, but it was enough for the nearby guards of the palace to see and come to help.
