I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

The assassin was hit in the abdomen by Shen Changgong unexpectedly, and fell backwards, smashing the screen that served as the background.

Once the other person falls to the ground, Shen Changgong will not let him get up again.

Shen Changgong slashed the opponent's right wrist with his left hand knife, and then chopped the assassin's chest with his right hand knife.

Although the opponent had soft armor, the force of the knife still made him spit out blood.

Then, Shen Changgong stood up from his half-squat, cut off the opponent's left wrist again with a knife, and suddenly stood up and stepped forward, raised the handle of the knife in his right hand, and inserted it directly into the assassin's mouth.

The blow was so powerful that it knocked out several of the assassin's front teeth. The assassin wanted to commit suicide by biting the poison, but Shen Changgong was holding his throat tightly, so he couldn't do it at all.

At this moment, Tu Que Ling, Fairy Mei Yan, Zhang Jue and other shadow guards also dealt with the other assassins and immediately came to help Shen Changgong restrain the actor who played Lanling King.

Everyone pinched the assassin's chin, pulled out the knife handle, then pried open the assassin's mouth. After searching a few times, they carefully took out the poison bag and finally stuffed the assassin's mouth with a rag.

Shen Changgong then stood up, picked up the two swords, turned around and walked downstairs.

At this time, the commander of the palace guards came to Yan Fuyao, clasped his hands and said,

"Your Majesty, the entire palace is now surrounded. What do you think we should do?"

Yan Fuyao frowned and said,

"This is Lanling Prince's home. Don't make too much of a fuss. Take the assassin away and then retreat."

Shen Changgong walked over with two bloody swords in his hands, and the guards immediately stood between him and the empress.

"Why? Do you suspect that the assassin was sent by the king?"

Shen Changgong sneered.

This is normal, after all, the assassination happened in his home.

The empress frowned and shouted,

"Get out of the way, can't you tell who's your own people?"

The commander of the guards immediately stepped aside.

At this time, Shen Wanguan also turned pale, walked over tremblingly, clasped his hands and said,

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There is an assassin infiltrated into the palace. I have no choice but to take responsibility..."

"Don't say that, sir. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Yan Fuyao comforted him softly.

Shen Changgong looked at everyone and shouted,

"Lu Bing! Zhang Jue!"

"Chen is here!"

Lu Bing, deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, and Zhang Jue, captain of the Security Army, stepped forward immediately.

"Bring back all the assassins and troupe members, interrogate them strictly, and force them to reveal the mastermind behind this!"

"As ordered!"

"Dad, go and send the guests away first, and then we'll apologize later."

"Good good."

Shen Wanguan hurried to see the guests off.

After something like this happened, I think no one would be in the mood to eat.

After all, the emperor was almost assassinated.

"Dai Xing, take my guards and gather all the servants in the palace to investigate and see if anyone is colluding with them.

However, this is unlikely. It is most likely that the opera troupe hired someone to do this. However, we need to investigate who hired the troupe and how they did it.

Jiang Ruoxue said quickly,

"It was the troupe introduced by Deputy Steward Liu Bo."

"Then focus on examining him."

"Yes!"

"Zhang Jue, Lu Bing, the main thing is to get information from the assassins. You guys are the key!"

"As ordered!"

Shen Changgong gave orders one by one and arranged the work in an orderly manner.

Yan Fuyao, Tang Xinyi, Gongsun Wan'er and others surrounded Shen Changgong.

"How are you? Are you seriously injured?"

Yan Fuyao frowned and looked at Shen Changgong with heartache.

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"I'm fine, I was just hit a few times, not even a scratch. But these assassins are really well-trained, and they are obviously masters.

Where's Meiyan? How are you? "

At this time, Fairy Meiyan also came over, holding an umbrella and smiling,

"I have a magic umbrella to protect me. Even a small assassin can't touch me. I'm not like some people who claim to be masters every day, but in the end, they still get shot by arrows, don't they?"

"That's because the arrow didn't hit you."

Shen Changgong smiled.

At this time, civil and military officials kept coming to ask about the empress and Shen Changgong's well-being, and then said goodbye.

In the past, all the civil and military officials had only heard of Shen Changgong's unparalleled martial arts skills. He was not only able to kill many assassins, but also many enemies on the battlefield. He also earned the title of Dayan's number one master in the martial arts world.

But no one has ever seen Shen Changgong take action.

Today, they had a feast for their eyes. They saw Shen Changgong fighting several expert assassins alone. The exchanges were very exciting and dangerous, and it was very enjoyable to watch.

The prince is really a master.

Not only them, but even Shen Wanguan and his wife saw Shen Changgong take action for the first time today. Shen Wanguan was dazzled by his outstanding martial arts.

The doubts that had been lingering in Shen Wanguan's mind also emerged.

Where did Shen Changgong learn this martial arts?

It seems that I can only ask him privately when I have time.

At this time, Shen Changgong looked around and asked,

"Where is Yuhuatian? Isn't he injured?"

Jiang Ruoxue said quickly,

"I asked the doctor in the mansion to take him to get bandaged. The arrow was inserted quite deep."

"Let's go over and have a look."

Shen Changgong frowned. The war was about to begin. If Yu Huatian could not fight, it would be a huge loss.

Soon, they arrived outside the pharmacy of the Shen family palace, only to see Nie Bei waiting outside the door, brows furrowed, waiting anxiously.

"Nie Bei, why are you here?"

Shen Changgong asked.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"I am worried about General Yu's injury, so I want to stay and see him. Once he's bandaged, I'll send him home."

"Well, you performed well today. I heard that at the critical moment, you pulled Yu Huatian back so that he was only shot in the shoulder instead of the head. Then you used your body to block the arrow for him. You did a great job.

How are you, are you hurt?"

Nie Bei smiled and said,

"I'm not injured. The assassin's targets seem to be only General Yu, you, and Your Majesty. A nobody like me is probably not within their reach."

Nie Bei had a wry smile on his face. He had not made any contributions to the State of Yan. Although he was also the commander of the legion, his presence was not strong.

Even the assassins were too lazy to kill him, which was quite heartbreaking.

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"Don't worry, after this battle is over, I believe you will also appear on the assassin's list."

"Haha."

Nie Bei smiled awkwardly.

Yan Fuyao raised her foot and was about to go inside, but Shen Changgong held her back.

"What are you doing? Can't I go see my subjects?"

Shen Changgong pulled her aside and whispered,

"Yu Huatian is bandaging her breasts, it's inconvenient to expose her breasts."

"That's right. Then go and take a look for me."

"No, the key issue is that I don't know whether Yu Huatian is a man or a woman. If he's a man, it's inconvenient for you to enter, and if he's a woman, it's inconvenient for me to enter.

So just wait outside."
