The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"There are assassins!" Wu Liangye blurted out, and directly pulled out the long sword from his waist, waving it to block the arrows shot from the opposite side.

"My dear, you are in the carriage, don't come out!" The groom quickly reminded, and he sat firmly under his buttocks on a section of the door curtain that fell on the front frame of the carriage.

As long as he was here, no one could enter the carriage unless he died.

Some arrows were shot away by the guards around, and some fell on the carriage and nailed to the wooden frame.

Fortunately, in the winter, the curtains and door curtains of the carriage were very thick to block the wind. Even if there were arrows coming towards the window and falling on the heavy curtains, they lost their strength and fell directly.

After a sparse burst of bows and arrows, more than a dozen men in black rushed out from the corners, holding shining knives in their hands, and rushed directly towards the carriage.

For a moment, swords and sabers flashed and intertwined. Wu Liangye and other guards turned over and dismounted, holding weapons and fighting with the assassins.

Li Fu wanted to lift the curtain to look outside, but the coachman guarded the door tightly and did not let Li Fu out.

"My dear, please hide inside first." The coachman said, "There are more than a dozen of them, don't come out."

The fight outside was fierce. Wu Liangye and the other six, even facing more than a dozen people, did not lose the wind, and guarded the carriage tightly to prevent the assassins from approaching.

Originally, they were all top-notch masters, guards of the standard level of the emperor's secret guards, and these assassins, although they were also dead men, were still a step behind Wu Liangye and his men.

These assassins, holding short knives, were agile, and they kept attacking the guards in groups of two or three. In the alley, the sound of weapons colliding was endless.

Wu Liangye's movements were more chic and neat, like a flying butterfly, moving freely among the swords and sabers.

He kicked the assassin in the stomach, knocking him to the ground. At the same time, he exerted force on his feet, jumped up, and stabbed the assassin's heart with the long knife in his hand.

Wu Liangye was an expert in killing people. He stabbed in with a knife without any obstacles.

The other two assassins who were dealing with Wu Liangye wanted to come to rescue him, but they were not as agile as Wu Liangye.

Bai Yunquan on the side knocked down the weapon in the hand of another assassin, and with a wave of the long knife in his hand, he directly wiped the opponent's neck.

Seeing that so many of them could not break through the protection of the guards to kill Li Fu in the carriage for a while, the assassins rushed towards the carriage more frantically and recklessly, gradually approaching the carriage.

Their target was only Li Fu, the King of Jingyang!

As for the guards, it didn't matter whether they were dead or injured.

At this time, a team of Jinwu Guards patrolling the city came hurriedly outside the alley and quickly rushed over here.

The man who led the Jinwu Guards to this side was also an old acquaintance.

Li Shisan.

"Surround them all! Capture them!"

At Li Shisan's command, the Jinwu Guards drew their long swords and headed for the assassin.

After seeing the Jinwu Guards coming, the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Fu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at his own guards who were no longer fighting with the assassins, but were just nervously guarding around the carriage.

"Wu Liangye, find a way to help capture two alive. After catching them, remove their chins and arms first." Li Fu ordered.

"Yes!" Wu Liangye responded, his eyes flashing with excitement.

They are familiar with this job.

Those who dared to gather so many people in Chang'an City to assassinate the court nobles in the street were almost certainly desperate warriors. It was not easy to capture them alive in the battle.

As for the incident during the Lantern Festival, they were allowed to escape, but they were not able to escape from Chang'an City, so they were caught.

After receiving Li Fu's order, Wu Liangye quickly took action and captured people together with Li Shisan.

As for the other Jinwu Guards, they didn't need to be so troublesome. If they could capture someone alive, they would definitely capture him alive. If they couldn't, they would just keep him alive, regardless of whether he was dead or alive.

After Li Shisan knocked down the opponent's weapon, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the man's jaw. With a clever move, he removed his chin. The back of the knife in his hand swept downwards and knocked the man to his knees.

Soon, the three long knives of the Jinwu Guards were placed on the neck of the assassin.

At the same time, Wu Liangye also gained something. After removing the opponent's chin, he also removed his two arms.

Wu Liangye's method was similar to that of Li Shisan and his men, and even more cruel than Li Shisan and his men.

The rest of the people also dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Li Fu frowned as he looked at the assassins.

They didn't act like death warriors. To think they were death warriors was really overestimating them.

"Take them away!" Li Shisan ordered.

Then, the Jinwu Guards escorted them away.

Li Shisan came to the carriage., bowed to Li Fu.

"Your Highness, I am sorry to scare you."

"Why did you bring the Jinwu Guards here? It can't be a coincidence, right?" Li Fu asked with a smile.

"It was the order of His Majesty." Li Shisan responded: "After you went to Da'an Palace, His Majesty said that he would always pay attention to you. Once you want to leave the palace and go home, let me protect you secretly."

Li Fu nodded.

His Majesty Li Er was thoughtful. When he mentioned Yi'an Wang Li Xiaochang in Liangyi Hall, he was hinting.

"Your Highness, please go back to the Wang's house first. I will go back to the palace to report to His Majesty. In addition, I have to interrogate these assassins." Li Shisan bowed and said.

"Okay, thank you." Li Fu also bowed.

The two sides separated.

Although they were assassinated by assassins, this time Li Fu brought more guards, and they all brought weapons. In addition, Li Shisan brought the Jinwu Guards, so no one was injured.

At the same time, Wei Zheng also encountered assassins on his way back from the palace.

The Jinwu Guards reacted very promptly. When they just started to attack, they rushed out on horseback, chased them, and captured them alive.

In the palace, Liangyi Hall.

"Your Majesty's worry is correct. Prince Jingyang did encounter assassins on his way home." Li Shisan bowed and said, "At the same time, Doctor Wei Zheng also encountered assassins. The Jinwu Guards provided timely support and no accidents occurred. It was just that Doctor Wei Zheng was frightened.

The assassins who assassinated the two of them were guards from Prince Yi'an's palace. They just said they wanted to rob property and had nothing to do with the palace."

"It took some means of interrogation before they confessed the truth. They were indeed instructed by Prince Yi'an."

"It's true." Li Shimin said coldly: "Order Hou Junji to lead people to search Prince Yi'an's palace and arrest Li Xiaochang!"

"Yes!"

The sky gradually darkened, the sound of street cleaning drums sounded, and the people began to return home.

Hou Junji led a team of people and directly surrounded Prince Yi'an's palace.
