Chapter 210 Assassination
Therefore, even if he can provide disaster relief, there are still places he cannot take care of.
The only way is to quell the war as soon as possible and provide the people with a stable environment so that they can recuperate.
As for his own interests...
Lu Chenyang said firmly: "What I have always wanted is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. As long as this can be achieved, nothing else matters."
What's more, he may not lose.
But Lu Chenyang did not say this.
Lu Chenyang had never met the Crown Prince, but he could tell from Yan Xing that he was a man of great potential. As for who would ultimately come out on top, that would depend on their own abilities.
He, Lu Chenyang, is not afraid of fighting!
Moreover, the war will not be over in a short time. It is possible that it will drag on for three to five years.
Yan Xing looked at him. When he said this, his whole body seemed to be glowing.
His goals are always firm.
He had been silent for too long. For the sake of the Crown Prince and power, he had too many concerns. So he had forgotten the most basic rule of the Yan family, which was to protect Yanhui Pass.
Lu Chenyang reminded him of his responsibilities.
Yan Xing curled the corners of his lips: "Well... thank you."
Lu Chenyang glanced at him suspiciously: "Thank you, thank you for what?"
"Thank you, Lord Lu, for planning this for me." Yan Xing said softly, "Thank you, Lord Lu, for clearing my name."
His voice was gentle and tender, with a secret smile on his face. Lu Chenyang couldn't help blushing slightly.
He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Ahem, as a senior official, I have the responsibility to thoroughly investigate any unjust, false, or wrongful cases I encounter. You, you don't have to take it to heart."
Yan Xing chuckled softly, his voice crisp.
Since leaving Ningzhou, everyone around Lu Chenyang has been on high alert. Tan Feng and Lu Ning have always been guarding Lu Chenyang, especially Lu Ning, who sticks by his side – thinking that if danger arises, they can still run away if they can't win.
Zhao Xi even took out all the poisons she had hidden in her box, and even stuffed five kinds of them on Lu Chenyang's body for self-defense.
Lu Chenyang found it funny that they were treating him like an enemy, but he did not refuse. His life was very important now.
Emperor Qianyuan could easily dispel suspicion of anything that happened on the way before reaching the capital. However, Ningzhou still had the Lu Family Army, and since it was under Lu Chenyang's control, the assassin certainly wouldn't strike there.
But once you leave Ningzhou, any place becomes a dangerous area.
Sure enough, at nightfall that day, the first group of assassins arrived.
These assassins were obviously well-trained and had a clear target. They rushed straight towards the carriage that Lu Chenyang was riding in.
The soldiers immediately formed a battle formation to resist the enemy, and the assassin leader stabbed the carriage with a sword under cover.
The carriage was shattered by the assassin's internal force, revealing Tan Feng inside.
Tan Feng stabbed the assassin leader with a sword. The assassin leader realized that he had been tricked and immediately gave a signal to retreat.
Tan Feng sneered. Want to leave? But it's not that easy.
He immediately ordered: "Arrest him, regardless of life or death!"
The soldiers were already prepared and charged towards the assassins.
All the soldiers were furious. Their leader was so kind, yet someone wanted to kill him!
We must catch them. Even if we can't catch them alive, we must make them pay the price!
These assassins had nowhere to escape, but they were well prepared. Seeing that they were no match for their opponents, they immediately committed suicide.
Tan Feng put all the bodies together, the soldiers lit torches, and Lu Chenyang walked over surrounded by the crowd.
Tan Feng said: "There were twelve in total, all of whom committed suicide."
Lu Chenyang showed a mocking smile on his face: "Such a small group of people want to kill me? Who are you looking down on?"
Tan Feng also felt insulted and nodded in agreement.
Yan Xing walked over, squatted down, and examined them. He said, "These are the emperor's secret guards, each one carefully selected. Are you still not satisfied?"
Lu Chenyang looked at him curiously: "How do you know? Are there any marks on their bodies?"
Yan Xing glanced at him, "How is that possible? Leaving marks on your body, are you afraid that others will not know their identity and that their master wants your life?"
Lu Chenyang felt that what he said made sense, but how did he know that these people were the emperor's secret guards?
Yan Xing glanced at him and said, "The poison they have is called Gelsemium elegans."
Lu Chenyang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
