Chapter 100 Could it be her

? A thousand-man imperial guards, escorting a carriage, were driving on the official road to Zhongbu County.

"Call!" A fast horse came galloping in front, and stopped next to the carriage.

"Report to the Secretary of State, a large number of black-clothed men were found ahead, assassinating a group of people. Should we go up and take a look?" The guard on the horse asked.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted by the coachman, and the people sitting inside were Yang Shidao and his wife who came to Zhongbu County to welcome the prince back to Chang'an.

Yang Shidao frowned. His main mission this time was to pick up the prince Li Chengqian. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Shidao decided to take a detour to Zhongbu County.

Anyway, we have already entered the scope of Zhongbu County. It won't take much time to take a detour. There is no need to get involved in other people's troubles.

Who knows if the people who were assassinated offended someone or were killed for revenge?

He still has important things to do! There is no need to join in the excitement.

"No need! We will take a detour to Zhongbu County. The most important thing is to take the prince back to Chang'an. We will ignore everything else." Yang Shidao said. "Yes!

I will go and call back Zhang San who is following us." The guard responded, turned his horse's head and was about to call back Zhang San who was still watching there.

Suddenly, a fast horse came galloping from a distance and stopped beside Yang Shidao's carriage. This person was Zhang San.

"Minister of the Central Secretariat, bad news! The Crown Prince has been attacked by a group of unidentified assassins. Please rescue him immediately. I'm afraid something bad will happen."

"What?" Yang Shidao jumped out of the carriage and said in surprise, "What did you just say? Say it again."

"The Crown Prince is surrounded and attacked by a group of black-clothed men in front. Please rescue him quickly." Zhang San said.

Princess Changguang in the carriage was also very scared, and her face instantly lost color.

"What are you still standing there for! Quick! Rescue the driver!" Yang Shidao shouted.

"Quick, speed up and rescue the Crown Prince!" The imperial guards immediately increased their speed and attacked the two sides of Li Chengqian who were fighting in front.

"Chief, bad news! A large number of imperial guards are coming this way." An assassin came to the place where their leader was hiding and reported to the leader.

As soon as the assassin finished speaking, he heard a shout of killing. He looked up and saw thousands of imperial guards coming here.

With the addition of the imperial guards, the advantage of these assassins disappeared and they were killed without a single piece of armor left.

Seeing this, Wang Fangyi led the guards of the Eastern Palace and Cheng Wuting and others to retreat to the vicinity of Li Chengqian's carriage.

The carriage was firmly protected in the middle to prevent the assassins from rushing in desperately and disturbing the prince.

A team of people was separated from the imperial guards, and a human wall was built outside Wang Fangyi and others. With double protection, the safety of the prince could be guaranteed.

Soon, the sounds of fighting and shouting stopped, and all the assassins were killed by the imperial guards. Only the three leaders of the assassins escaped.

If it weren't for the safety of the Crown Prince, the imperial guards would have chased them and destroyed them all. How could they tolerate them escaping in front of them?

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Li Chengqian came out. Looking at the corpses on the ground, he was furious.

He, Li Chengqian, was assassinated again. The last time he was assassinated, the mastermind was Wei Ting.

Wei Ting was willing to kill in order to help Li Tai get to the top. Li Chengqian could understand this. After all, everyone is his master! He had nothing to say.

"Do you know who did it?" Li Chengqian asked.

"No one is left alive, and no useful information can be found from these corpses. We can't tell who they are right now!" Wang Fangyi said.

After the assassins were beheaded by the imperial guards, Wang Fangyi ordered people to search the bodies of the assassins, but found nothing.

Li Chengqian didn't get the answer he wanted, and he was thinking in his mind who wanted his life, or who would benefit if he died.

If Li Chengqian really died outside, the position of crown prince would undoubtedly fall into the hands of Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Li Zhi had a motive to kill Li Chengqian. Li Zhi wanted to get the position of crown prince and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. First of all, he had to get rid of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian thought about it and felt that Li Zhi would not do this.

Li Chengqian thought that there were two reasons why Li Zhi would not do this. One was Li Zhi's character, and the other was that Li Zhi now had no power at all.

If it wasn't Li Zhi, who would be behind this assassination attempt against him?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Chengqian's mind, and a figure appeared in front of him. It was the figure of a graceful woman.

Could it really be her? The person who most wanted Zhinu to become the prince would not be the second person except her.

She wanted to kill me!

Li Chengqian thought of something at this time, and he had already locked the target in his heart.

"Your Highness! The Minister of the Central Secretariat and Princess Changguang are here." Wang Fangyi's words pulled Li Chengqian back to reality from his thoughts.

"Your Highness! Are you okay?" Yang Shidao walked to Li Chengqian's carriage and asked.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle! I'm fine! Where are you and aunt going?" Li Chengqian said.

He thought that Yang Shidao and Princess Changguang were going to do something, so they brought so many imperial guards with them.

Thanks to Yang Shidao, otherwise, we don't know who will win today.

"Smart! Your uncle and I learned that you were in the central county of Fangzhou, so we rushed here from Chang'an to take you back to Beijing! Where are you going?" Princess Changguang said. She thought Li Chengqian was going to continue wandering somewhere else.

On the way here, Yang Shidao had already explained everything to her.

Li Chengqian and others suddenly realized it! No wonder they met Yang Shidao, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, here. It turned out that he came here specially.

"I was just about to go back to Chang'an, but who knew I would be killed on the way back to Chang'an? Fortunately, my uncle arrived in time, otherwise, whether I, Li Chengqian, could return to Chang'an would depend on God's will." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! This is not the place to talk, it's not too late for us to go back to Chang'an first." Yang Shidao said.

"Great, where is that damn boy Zhao Jie? Why can't I see him?" Princess Changguang looked around and still didn't see her son, so she asked hurriedly.

Li Chengqian smiled but didn't answer, turned sideways, and Zhao Jie's figure appeared in Princess Changguang's sight.

Princess Changguang was overjoyed to see her son, "Jie'er!"

"Mother!" Zhao Jie shouted.

"Okay, my princess, this is really not the place to talk, let's go back first and talk later." Yang Shidao said, took Princess Changguang's hand, turned around and got on their carriage.

Li Chengqian also turned around and got into the carriage, and the curtain was lowered.

Under the protection of the imperial guards, Li Chengqian and others returned to Chang'an.
