The Shocking Counterattack of Waste Materials: Crazy Phoenix and Demon Control

Chapter 174 Assassination
"Miss Linger, why don't we go to the palace again tonight?" Li Yue had already thought of where to start.

"But now there are arrest warrants for you and the prince everywhere on the street, will you be caught if you go to the palace again?" Xue Ling'er was a little worried.

"It's okay. There is a saying that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Don't worry, Miss Linger."

"I believe in you. You can call me Ling'er from now on. We are acquaintances now." Xue Ling'er finally broke into a smile.

………………

In the early morning of summer, the weather is a bit muggy, the sky is overcast, and there are muffled thunders.

A flash of lightning pierced through the thick clouds, and heavy rain poured down.

A luxurious carriage was parked in front of the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion, guarded by dozens of guards.

Inside the mansion, Xuan Jing held a yellowed oil-paper fan in his hand, stood beside Cang Lan to shield him from the rain, walked out of the National Teacher's Mansion together with him, and sent him to the carriage.

Cang Lan got into the carriage, Xuan Jing watched the carriage leave before returning home behind closed doors.

Because of the rain, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but when they were approaching the palace, several men in black rushed out from the street and surrounded the carriage.

The guards immediately drew their weapons, and engaged in a fierce fight with the assassins.

These guards were no match for the assassins at all, and they were gradually defeated. Just when the weapons in the hands of the assassins were about to be thrown at the carriage, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the palace rushed over.

In the heavy rain, the assassins and soldiers fell into a melee again.

"My lord, are you okay?" A little commander stationed at the gate of the palace asked the people in the car.

Cang Lan lifted the curtain on the carriage, looked at the situation outside the carriage, and said calmly, "It's okay, let's enter the palace quickly, don't let the assassin follow the carriage into the palace."

"Yes." The little commander who guarded the gate received the order, grabbed the whip from the driver, jumped into the carriage and drove into the palace gate himself.

Feng Lin's status as a national teacher has always been noble, in the palace other than the emperor and high-ranking concubines, only his car can drive freely in the palace.

The carriage finally stopped directly in front of the main hall of the early dynasty.

There were already eunuchs waiting outside the hall. Seeing that the national teacher's car had arrived, he hurriedly went to greet him with an umbrella.

The civil and military ministers who had already arrived in the hall couldn't help whispering to each other seeing Cang Lan's late arrival.

Above the main hall, Feng Junxun sat on the dragon chair, watching Cang Lan who was walking into the main hall and came to the head of all civil and military officials.

"Canglan always arrives early, why did he come so late today?" Feng Junxun asked.

Canglan saluted the emperor first and then answered Feng Junxun's question: "Reporting to the emperor, I just met an assassin outside the palace gate, so I came a bit late, please forgive me."

Cang Lan's answer immediately exploded among the officials.

Among them, many bold people voiced their doubts loudly, "Assassin, someone dared to assassinate Master Guoshi. It seems that because of the affairs of Master Guoshi's younger sister, it aroused public anger. Master Guoshi should be careful in the future."

Canglan looked calm, knowing that because of the high status of this national teacher in Fenglin country, he had already caused Feng Junxun's dissatisfaction, otherwise how dare these people speak so loudly in front of the emperor?If it weren't for the fact that he lost his power and lost his mana, how would these people dare to talk to him with such an attitude?

"That's not necessarily true." Someone among the ministers said loudly: "A few days ago, the junior sister of the national teacher committed such a serious crime. The national teacher said that he had not seen her for many years and had no relationship with him. I have separated the relationship with his junior sister, I am afraid that the junior sister of the national teacher has a grudge, and hired a killer to take revenge."
