Looking at Tai'an from the full moon
Chapter 70 Assassination Preview
Mr. Ying did not eat with them because he sneaked in today. Although Lord Wei and the others knew each other, they tried to have as little contact with each other as possible to prevent spies from discovering their close relationship.
Wei Chao didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. Fortunately, the City Lord Wei had already left the palace to do some work, otherwise he would have been beaten up again. Wei Yang had asked someone to give him a bowl of porridge, but Wei Chao just wanted to take Xiao Zuochen out to play, so he gave up.
The three of them walked down the street, and Yun Wei followed behind them. The guards from the City Lord's Mansion were supposed to follow them, but Wei Chao sent them away, saying that they would disturb their play. They had a lot of fun, but Yun Wei had to keep up with his master while passing on information to his spies. Three days later, Yun Wei's dark circles became visibly darker.
Until the fourth day——
"Whether we can find any clues today or not, we are ready to return."
The portrait has been sent down, and there has been no news for three days. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack. We can't waste time here, not to mention that Chu Yao is still here... Eh? Why did you think of him?
Xiao Zuochen thought of the note Chu Yao sent that day, and thought that he must have been influenced by the note!
After dinner, Lord Wei and his family stood at the city gate to see Prince Yun off.
"Brother, I don't know how long it will take you to come back this time. I will miss you!"
"I'll be back when I have time."
"Chenchen, you must take care of yourself. I will definitely visit you in Tai'an City when I have the chance."
"Yes. Sister, you have to take care of yourself too. We will go to see all the beautiful sights in the world together in the future. And Chao, please don't always make me angry."
"I know~"
"Your Highness Prince Yun."
City Lord Wei, who was originally standing at the back, also took a few steps forward and came in front of Xiao Zuochen.
"Although the palace has the Emperor's protection, we still have to be careful. The Empress is not someone who is easy to deal with. I heard that General Bai received several letters from the palace some time ago. They must not be good things."
Xiao Zuochen nodded.
"I've made note of that. Uncle Wei, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
"Hey, don't worry~"
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, everyone watched Xiao Zuochen leave.
"Master, Mr. Ying didn't come today?"
Yun Wei suddenly asked, causing Xiao Zuochen to raise his eyebrows slightly.
"No, what's the matter?"
"Then didn't Mr. Riying say that Yun Feng..."
"Did you hear everything? Maybe the master has other plans."
After Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, he thought for a few seconds and suddenly lifted the curtain, as if he wanted to see the expression of Yun Wei who was driving at the moment. Yun Wei heard the sound of the curtain and looked back. Xiao Zuochen opened his mouth but hesitated.
There were not twelve guards originally. After thousands of orphans were trained and divided into several groups for brutal struggle, only one hundred survived. Later, these one hundred children were locked together and told that only one could survive. But somehow, the twelve of them seemed to be huddled together, and no one could move them, until only the twelve of them were left. Later, Mr. Ying had no choice but to stop the killing and leave the twelve of them. Yun Wei was the oldest of the twelve, so naturally he took care of the others more. Although they did not often perform missions together in these years, they always missed the others in their hearts. Although Yun Wei had been with him since he was fourteen or fifteen years old, because they were master and servant, their relationship was more about obedience.
"Watch the road carefully."
In the end, Xiao Zuochen just said this.
Just as the two of them left Wangyan City, Xiao Zuochen suddenly felt the surroundings were terribly quiet. Just as he was about to look out to see what was going on, Yun Wei's low voice came from outside the curtain.
"Master, be careful."
Xiao Zuochen frowned. Everyone knew that Wangyan City was his territory, but he had just left for a few steps and then he chased after him and killed him. It was obvious that he was so bold.
Just as Xiao Zuochen was thinking about this second, a group of men in black rushed out from outside. They immediately surrounded him, and the leader spoke to Yun Wei with a hint of sarcasm.
"Brother, we all risk our lives for money. If you give us a favor, we will spare your life."
The implication was that Yun Wei should abandon the car and escape, leaving Xiao Zuochen behind.
Yun Wei didn't say anything, but calmly jumped off the carriage and then drew the sword from the scabbard.
"Brother, you are just refusing to accept my toast and drinking a forfeit."
The leader's originally smiling face suddenly turned ferocious.
"Kill them for me!"
At the command, all the black-clad men rushed forward. Although Yun Wei was skilled, he could not entangle all of them. Several black-clad men took the opportunity to rush towards the carriage. But at the moment when the curtain was opened, Xiao Zuochen stabbed the throat of the first black-clad man who came up with a dagger. This action startled the other black men in the carriage.
The tip they received was that Prince Yun did not know martial arts, which was a well-known fact, because it was said that Prince Yun was weak and could not learn martial arts at all. But the knife he just struck was fast, fierce and accurate, which did not seem like someone who was powerless.
"What are you guys standing there for?"
The boss who was fighting with Yun Wei not far away shouted towards the carriage. Seeing this, several people drew their swords and slashed at Xiao Zuochen. Xiao Zuochen flew out from the roof of the carriage, which also startled the man in black on Yun Wei's side.
"King Yun knows martial arts?"
Although Xiao Zuochen didn't know martial arts at all, he still impressed them with his aura. While everyone was distracted, Yun Wei killed another one with one sword.
The leading man in black saw that so many of his brothers had not been able to gain any advantage at the hands of Yun Wei, and that King Yun on the other side also knew martial arts and was not someone they could kill.
"Brothers, retreat first!"
Seeing this, the men in black all ran away.
Yun Wei did not chase after him. He could not leave his master's side in case something went wrong again.
"Luckily they are just some rookies."
Xiao Zuochen breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Wei walked to the car to check the man in black who had just been killed by Zhuzi.
"Master, you were really ruthless, it penetrated deeply into my flesh."
"These people don't look professional. Even someone like me who doesn't know martial arts can scare them..."
"The leading black-clad man's martial arts skills are not very high either."
Yun Wei added.
"Only my stupid brother could have done such a flawed assassination."
Yes, this group of people were sent by the third prince, but Xiao Zuochen was not angry. Instead, he laughed secretly.
“This is just a preview.”
On the second day, when the Queen received the tip-off and learned the result—
"Are you a pig-brained person? You found a bunch of rubbish to assassinate him. Don't you know that the guard next to him is very powerful?"
At this time, the third prince was kneeling under the palace.
"Mother, don't you have someone to arrange for me?"
The third prince seemed to be frightened by the queen's ferocious appearance. He lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and his body was even shaking.
"How dare you bring that up? You've already alerted the enemy!"
At this moment, the seventh prince walked out from the inner room.
"Mother, forget it. My brother has done his best. You can't ask too much of him."
Xiao Zuosi seemed to be speaking for the Third Prince, but in fact he was mocking him. The Third Prince, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at him and secretly clenched his fists.
When the queen saw her baby coming out, she hurriedly asked about her baby's well-being, and her tone was completely different from the one she used to talk to Xiao Zuoming just now.
"Forget it, go back and have a good rest for two days. You don't have to get involved in the rest of this."
The queen waved her hand, as if to chase Xiao Zuoming away.
The third prince stood up, bowed and left without saying anything else. The queen's indifferent voice could be heard from behind him.
"Go ahead and kill all those bastards."
"Yes!"
