Chapter 155 The Emperor's Favored Concubine is Heartbroken (51)

Seeing this, Prince Jing was unwilling to be outdone. He immediately stepped out of the line, knelt beside Ye Junchen, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, it is our duty to fight against foreign enemies. I am willing to temporarily take the place of General Xue!"

There were tears in his eyes, and he seemed to be eager to kill the Turks with his sword.

In a blink of an eye, two more princes came forward to express their opinions.

They were equally filled with righteous indignation and were willing to rush to the front line immediately to help General Xue resist the Turkic army.

"It is my duty to defend my country and to fight in battle. Your Majesty, please allow me to go to the border and lend a hand to the army."

"I am willing to do so, Your Majesty, please allow me!"

Looking at the four people kneeling on the ground, Ye Junhong fell into deep thought.

Among them, he would choose one to temporarily replace General Xue.

So, who should he choose?

After much thought, Ye Junhong was unable to decide on the best person to temporarily replace General Xue.

In the end, he could only wave his hands.

"This is a serious matter involving border defense. I need to consider it carefully before I can come to a conclusion. Please don't be anxious."

"I obey your Majesty's instructions."

When everyone heard the emperor say this, they could only retreat for the time being.

Except for Ye Junchen who remained calm, the other three were anxious, wondering whether they could be chosen by His Majesty.

After leaving the tent, Ye Junchen called his attendant and said calmly, "According to the plan tonight."

The attendant nodded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Night falls.

Emperor Ye Junhong was reviewing memorials in his tent.

Suddenly, a tall and burly black shadow flashed outside the tent.

Ye Junhong frowned and was about to take a closer look, but the next second, the black shadow disappeared.

He became suspicious, lifted the curtain, walked outside and looked around.

The guards were still waiting outside faithfully, and not far away, Huo Haochu led his team to patrol the surroundings. Everything seemed so orderly, peaceful and harmonious.

Ye Junhong rubbed his temple, wondering: Was he dazzled just now?

After calming himself down, he returned to the tent.

But just as he sat down, he saw a dark shadow passing by outside the tent again.

The man's speed was ghostly, disappearing in a flash like a puff of smoke, and in an instant he was nowhere to be found.

Ye Junhong could no longer sit still.

He rushed out of the tent and shouted loudly, "General Huo!"

Huo Haochu immediately stepped forward, bowed and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"I saw two suspicious figures..."

Before Ye Junhong could finish his words, two men in black suddenly jumped out of the tent.

They rushed towards the depths of the hunting ground at lightning speed.

Ye Junhong was shocked and grabbed Huo Haochu's hand with a serious expression, "General Huo, bring people back to arrest the two assassins immediately. I want to interrogate them personally!"

Right now, the Turkic army was about to invade the southeastern border, but General Xue accidentally broke his leg.

Tonight, such a skilled assassin appeared beside him again, which made Ye Junhong inexplicably have a bad premonition.

Huo Haochu tried his best to comfort him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will lead the people to chase them right away, and the rest of the people will guard Your Majesty."

He called Lieutenant General Li, gave him a few words of instruction, and then led his men to chase in the direction the assassin had left.

Looking at Huo Haochu's leaving back, Ye Junhong breathed a long sigh of relief and then turned back to the tent.

After a while, screams were heard outside.

"There are assassins! Oh my god, there are assassins everywhere outside!"

"Help! Come and save me!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of clinking swords clashing spread in all directions.

Ye Junhong's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted outside the tent, "Someone, come and protect the emperor!"

The curtain outside shook, and a corpse fell in.

Ye Junhong took a closer look and saw that his face was pale. Judging from his clothes, he was clearly a military officer.

Just then, a black-clad assassin rushed in.

Ye Junhong took a deep breath, drew out his sword, and was ready to fight for his life with the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the next second, another assassin in black rushed in from outside, moving as fast as lightning.

Ye Junhong looked vaguely desperate. Was he going to die miserably here today?

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

With a loud shout, a man rushed into the tent, risking his life to break through the obstruction of two assassins, and stood directly in front of Ye Junhong.

Ye Junhong looked carefully and found that it was the emperor's younger brother Ye Junchen.

The two assassins moved like ghosts and attacked Ye Junhong who was standing behind Ye Junchen together.

Ye Junchen protected Ye Junhong firmly behind him and made a feint with his sword at first.

Then he kicked one of the assassins away, and then quickly swung his sword and accurately stabbed the wrist of another assassin.

There was a sound.

The sword fell to the ground.

Ye Junhong had just breathed a sigh of relief when a big hole was cut in the tent by someone from the outside.

Three assassins rushed over with swords raised at the same time, their swords shining coldly like water and filled with endless murderous intent.

Ye Junhong was so frightened that he almost fainted.

He wanted to hide, but the assassin's sword was too fast, as if forming a dragnet, leaving him nowhere to escape.

A long table was thrown over in time.

The three assassins were unable to dodge and were hit hard on the waist by the long table. They screamed and fell to the ground.

While the assassins were falling to the ground, Ye Junchen rushed forward, slashed with his sword, blood splattered, and quickly took the lives of the three assassins.

Even after seeing the assassin die with his own eyes, Ye Junhong was still filled with anger.

He clenched his fists and his face turned ashen.

Who on earth dares to murder me openly?

outside.

Huo Haochu came rushing over and saw Ye Junchen beside Ye Junhong and several corpses on the ground. He immediately guessed that it was Ye Junchen who saved the emperor.

He immediately knelt down and blamed himself, "I am late in protecting you, Your Majesty, please punish me."

After a while, Ye Junhong recovered and waved his hand slightly.

"It's okay. I asked you to leave. Besides, you made corresponding arrangements before you left. It's just that the thieves were too rampant and sent so many people here."

Outside, the remaining assassins were surrounded by Huo Haochu's men.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the assassin simply bit the poison hidden in his teeth, and the drug took effect and he fell to the ground and died.

The camp was in a mess and the smell of blood lingered in the night air.

After this incident, Ye Junhong had no intention of staying in the royal hunting ground any longer and immediately announced that he would return to the palace overnight.

Everyone left the tent.

The attendant beside Ye Junchen suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, you are injured."

Hearing this, Ye Junhong turned around to look.

Only then did they discover that Ye Junchen's left arm was covered in blood. It must have been because his arm was accidentally cut by the assassin when he was rescuing the emperor just now.

Ye Junhong immediately ordered, "Call the imperial physician to bandage Prince Anling's wound."

"Yes." The people below hurried to call the imperial physician.

"Royal brother, why mobilize so many troops for such a minor injury?" Ye Junchen disagreed.

"Second brother, what are you talking about?" Ye Junhong glanced at him in dissatisfaction, "You risked your life to save me, so it's only natural for me to ask the imperial physician to treat you. Why are you refusing?"

Ye Junchen could only agree helplessly, "I will follow your majesty's orders."

"Well, be careful not to get your wound wet before it heals." Ye Junhong added.

Ye Junchen expressed his gratitude.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he bowed and said, "Brother Emperor, since you ascended the throne, we two brothers haven't had an all-night chat for a long time. Why not tonight..."

There was a hint of anticipation in Ye Junchen's eyes when he looked at Ye Junhong.

Ye Junhong suddenly remembered that he had been busy with government affairs since he ascended the throne, and it had been a long time since he had a chat with his younger brother like before, so he became interested and readily agreed.

Moreover, he already had an idea about who should replace General Xue.

Ye Junchen is his biological brother, and the two have had a deep brotherly love since childhood.

The most important thing is that when he encountered the assassin just now, it was Ye Junchen who risked his life to save him, which touched him deeply.
