Chapter 472 The Final Assassination
Yu Tingfeng left Wudu with the white jade coffin containing Feng Aoqing's body.
He didn't bring anyone with him, only a few people from Qihuang Palace: Siyan, Yu Mingchang, Yan Xiao, Ruxuan and Ruilian, and he didn't even bring any guards.
Zhu Mingbo knew Yu Tingfeng and the others, so he sent people to investigate.
Only then did I realize that he did bring a team of people with him, a team of Cold Flame Army.
But this team did not follow very closely, and was half the distance away from them.
I believe that this group of people was not led by Yu Tingfeng, but arranged by Yu Mingchang. He should still feel a little worried.
So this is a perfect opportunity to take action.
They were afraid of the hardship on the road, and also worried that the bumpy carriage ride on the official road might damage Feng Aoqing's body, so they would definitely choose to take the water route.
Although the waterway is a bit long, it is very stable, and riding on a big ship is also Feng Aoqing's favorite thing.
She prefers Yuanwu's canal to riding a horse or a carriage.
This canal leading to Zhaojing was a canal she had never walked on when she was alive. She used to often fantasize about walking between the waterways of Zhaojing and Yuanwu.
One is her motherland, and the other is the country where she will live. She feels very happy and joyful that she can travel freely between the two countries by boat.
So when Yu Tingfeng went to Zhaojing, he chose this waterway without hesitation.
The boat is not very big, just enough for a few people to live in.
After all, Yu Tingfeng had never left his cabin. There was only him and the white jade coffin in the cabin. He didn't even walk to the window to take a look at the scenery outside the river.
He just moved a chair, sat in front of the white jade coffin, lowered his head to read a book, and when he turned his head, he saw Feng Aoqing's face. This happened every day.
That night he was chattering to Feng Aoqing again. It seemed like he had never talked so much before. Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone landed in front of him.
The other party was very agile. He just thought that Leng Yanjun was very light, but this man was even lighter than them.
Yu Tingfeng put down the book without even looking at him, but looked at Feng Aoqing in the coffin beside him.
The man was used to observing his prey and finding the right moment to strike. Apparently, now was the time, because the other party was not even looking at him.
He held the daggers in both hands, and in just a moment, he could take Yu Tingfeng's life.
One step forward, the dagger is there.
Only then did Yu Tingfeng look up at the "thorn" in front of him.
"Ci" knew it was too late, there was another figure in the room, and his speed was faster than his.
That person should also be "stabbing", and he was not as hesitant as him, holding the knife and slashing towards him.
He could only step back.
When I wanted to turn around and leave, there was another person at the door and by the window.
Siyan at the door shouted angrily: "Yan Xiao! You ungrateful wolf!"
She was not afraid and walked forward and slapped Yan Xiao in the face.
She had been waiting for this slap for more than a month.
"It doesn't matter if you kill Yu Yichen, go ahead! It doesn't matter if you kill Yu Mingchang, go ahead! It doesn't matter if you want to kill me, it doesn't matter even more, as long as I die, it's fine if you think it's good. But how can you kill her!"
Siyan pointed at the white jade coffin and said, "She treats you like her own brother!"
The knife in Yan Xiao's hand fell to the ground.
He walked to the white jade coffin.
"Once I kill Emperor Yuanwu and save my people, I will die as a token of my guilt. In my next life, and in all my lives to come, I will serve her like a slave!"
Yan Xiao's eyes were red and he knelt in front of the coffin.
"You are not sorry for me, but your sister Rou." The person in the coffin whispered, his voice full of sadness.
Yan Xiao looked into the coffin in horror.
Yu Mingchang and Shi Jin stepped forward and grabbed him from the left and right.
Feng Aoqing sat up from the coffin.
Yu Tingfeng went over and helped the person out of the coffin, then wrapped her in a thick blanket. It was very cold in the coffin, and although he covered her with a thick blanket, he was still afraid that she would catch a cold.
"Sister...you..."
"Bah! You don't deserve to be called sister!" Siyan kicked him to the ground.
"So, you already knew it was poisonous. Even though it's colorless and odorless, even if it's in the water you wash your face with..."
Yan Xiao didn't finish his words when he felt a pain in his heart.
"This is a good poison. I really don't know. I'm afraid I won't know until I'm deeply poisoned." Feng Aoqing said lightly.
"Ruxuan chose you between me and you." Yan Xiao smiled helplessly.
Feng Aoqing nodded: "Ruxuan changed everyone's life. She is obviously much more clear-headed than you. You should thank her, not hate her. I have already informed Chonglou and rescued your people. Some died, but most of them were saved."
Yan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and laughed out loud.
The deposed King of Changmu found Yan Xiao and threatened him with the 557 members of his clan in Changmu, forcing him to assassinate Feng Aoqing and Yu Tingfeng.
Yan Xiao didn't know that the people behind the deposed king were Qin Yi and Zhu Mingbo.
The two agreed to return Changmu to him after the task was completed.
Yan Xiao was originally the son of the mayor of Yancheng. After several city battles, almost all the members of the Yan family were killed. He took the remaining hundreds of people and lived in seclusion to avoid being hunted down.
All the money he earned from being a "thorn" was taken back to support his clansmen.
He couldn't just ignore these tribesmen.
Therefore, he could only cooperate with Qin Yi and Zhu Mingbo.
Disguised as An Jinge, he lured Yu Yichen into a killing spree. Although Yu Yichen was very capable and could fight against a hundred people alone and escape, he was eventually forced off the cliff.
Then, he used Yu Yichen's clues to lure Si Yan into the game, and then used Si Yan to lure Yu Mingchang.
Although he did not take action directly, he arranged all the situations because he knew everyone.
The reason why he didn't take action directly was because he still had to stay with Feng Aoqing.
On the day Yu Yichen had the accident, it was early morning when he returned to the city from outside.
To his surprise, he met Zhou Jirou who was going to the academy from the Prince's Mansion.
Who is Zhou Jirou? After Yu Yichen got into trouble, she quickly thought of him.
She didn't say it explicitly, but she really treated him as her own brother, so she said some words of comfort.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yi and others found out about this and sent people to kill Zhou Jirou and Shangguan Jin.
Although Yan Xiao also rushed to rescue, he only saved Zhou Jirou, but Shangguan Jin died.
At that time, Zhou Jirou was holding the dead Shangguan Jin in her arms, so how could she think about observing the people who came to rescue her?
It was even several days later that she told Feng Aoqing about this. It seemed that someone came to rescue her, and the killers who came earlier left, thus saving her life.
In addition to Zhou Jirou, there was another person who felt his change.
That's Ruxuan.
One night, he said he wanted to rest early, but in fact he was going to meet Qin Yi's subordinate, the man in gray.
The man in gray is actually the eunuch Liang Xi, who has been with Qin Yi since childhood and almost grew up with her. He is the person she trusts the most. Qin Yi does not believe Zhu Mingbo, but she believes him.
Ruxuan wanted to confirm what she was thinking, so she went into Yan Xiao's room at night.
I found that he was not there.
She waited for him to come back in the room, wanting to persuade him.
But Yan Xiao asked her to choose in the name of love, and she chose Yan Xiao and agreed to let Yan Xiao poison Feng Aoqing.
Under his supervision, Ruxuan poisoned someone for the first time.
He was relieved, however, Ruxuan never poisoned him again, but chose to tell Feng Aoqing about it.
