Chapter 135 Assassination (Scenario 5)
Seeing this, Wen Yu smiled.
The two did not stay at home for too long, but went to the crew of "Fu Jiang Shan" together.
Director Zheng was the first person to arrive at the crew.
He carefully observed Wen Yu's expression and found nothing unusual. Then he said sincerely, "Xiao Yu, I'm so sorry. I forgot you're only seventeen years old. I shouldn't have let them take you drinking. Uncle Zheng apologizes to you..."
Strangely enough, when Director Zheng was toasting Wen Yu last night, he mistakenly recognized him as the superstar "Wen Yu" who was once famous all over the country.
"Wen Yu" has a very good alcohol tolerance, and they always enjoy themselves very much when drinking with "Wen Yu".
The two people look obviously different, but Director Zheng has seen the shadow of "Wen Yu" in him more than once.
"fine."
Wen Yu accepted Director Zheng's apology with a smile. He shook his head and said, "I overestimated my alcohol tolerance..."
Wen Yu and Song Shinian are both the protagonists of "Fu Jiang Shan", and they have the largest proportion of scenes.
Today is the first day of official recording, so naturally the two of them will have a lot of scenes.
Director Zheng then exchanged a few words with them, then said with a smile, "You two should hurry up and change your clothes."
"Fu Jiang Shan" was filmed in seclusion.
During the filming period of these few months, actors with heavier roles must set aside their time to ensure that the normal filming of the crew is not delayed.
After Wen Yu and Song Shinian changed their clothes, the filming of "Fu Jiang Shan" officially began.
…
The noise of the coronation ceremony finally died down.
Su Yanzhi stood alone on the observatory behind the Zichen Palace, looking at the imperial city illuminated by lights.
The night wind blew across the young man's black imperial robe, bringing a chill.
"Your Majesty, it's late."
The old eunuch Li Zhongxian reminded softly.
Even though he had been on the throne for several days, Su Yanzhi was still not used to the title "Your Majesty". He said "hmm" coldly and raised his hand to signal him to leave.
Just as Su Yanzhi was about to leave, the night wind suddenly became fierce and blew out the palace lantern closest to him.
Su Yanzhi took half a step back calmly.
His eldest and second brothers regarded him as a thorn in their eyes. From the moment he ascended the throne, they knew that this day would come.
"Now that you're here, why hide?"
Su Yanzhi's voice was soft, yet very clear.
What answered Su Yanzhi were three sounds of breaking through the air.
Su Yanzhi dodged sideways, only to see three dark nails glowing blue being driven into the spot where he had just stood.
At the same time, four dark shadows rushed over from different directions, and the sword lights shone coldly in the moonlight.
Their movements were swift and fierce. Seeing the blade about to pierce his neck, Su Yanzhi lost his composure and shouted, "Regent! Save me!"
A black shadow appeared quickly.
Xiao Ziche protected Su Yanzhi behind him, his voice still nonchalant: "You're not too stupid to ask for help."
For a moment, Su Yanzhi couldn't tell whether this was a compliment or an insult.
However, the situation before him did not allow him to think so much. He just saw the four men in black in front of him exchanged glances with each other, and then they launched an attack at the same time.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Ziche's eyes.
He swung his left hand out suddenly, and three silver needles as thin as cow hair shot into the throat of the nearest assassin.
The assassin fell to the ground without even having time to scream.
The remaining three people continued to attack. Xiao Ziche seemed to be forced into a desperate situation, but in fact he led the assassin to the predetermined location.
When the last assassin stepped onto the specific stone slab, Xiao Ziche suddenly took two steps back while holding Su Yan, and the tip of his sword accurately hit the mechanism.
There was a slight "click" sound, and the stone slab under the assassin's feet suddenly sank, revealing a deep pit covered with spikes underneath.
The two assassins fell unexpectedly, and their screams echoed in the deep pit.
The only remaining assassin leader reacted very quickly. He jumped up to avoid the trap, but was pierced through the chest by the soft sword thrown by Xiao Ziche in mid-air.
"No... Impossible..."
The assassin leader fell to the ground and looked at the two men in disbelief.
Their plan was obviously very covert, how could the Regent and the new Emperor have set up an ambush in advance?
Xiao Ziche drew out his soft sword, and bright red blood dripped down the blade. He looked down at the dying assassin, and his right hand casually wiped the sword.
The moonlight cast a cold silver glow on Xiao Ziche's handsome face. He sneered, "Idiot."
The assassin leader's pupils dilated, and before he took his last breath, Su Yanzhi took out a token from his waist.
It is engraved with the emblem of the Second Prince's Mansion.
"It's him indeed."
Su Yanzhi threw the blood-stained token on the ground.
Li Zhongxian arrived late with his guards. Seeing the corpses strewn across the ground, he turned pale with fear: "Your Majesty! I deserve to die for allowing assassins to disturb Your Majesty's presence!"
Su Yanzhi raised his hand to stop Li Zhongxian from asking for forgiveness and said calmly, "Go and call the commander of the imperial guards."
Su Yanzhi's voice was soft, yet filled with unquestionable authority. "Also, send someone to keep a close eye on the residences of the First and Second Princes. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out."
Li Zhongxian looked up and was surprised to find that the eyes of the usually gentle new emperor were actually flashing with chilling murderous intent.
"As you wish."
Li Zhongxian kowtowed deeply.
After Li Zhongxian and his guards left, Xiao Ziche raised his eyebrows with interest: "What? Your Majesty, are you not considering the relationship between brothers now?"
Even when calling out a respectful title like "Your Majesty", Xiao Ziche's tone was soft and casual.
Facing Xiao Ziche's questioning, Su Yanzhi lowered his head and said self-deprecatingly: "They have never regarded me as a brother."
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Ziche stroked Su Yanzhi's cheek and comforted him, "With me here, no one can hurt you anymore."
Yeah?
Su Yanzhi's eyes were a little confused.
Feeling the warm touch from the man's palm, Su Yanzhi inexplicably thought of the winter two years ago.
…
The snow in midwinter always falls heavy and fast.
Su Yanzhi knelt on the bluestone slab, his knees had long lost feeling.
The eldest prince and the second prince stood in the corridor of the cold palace, looking down at him with ridicule in their eyes.
"Third brother, how's your progress on reciting the 'Strategies of Governing a Country'?"
The eldest prince nonchalantly played with the jade ring in his hand, his voice filled with deliberate concern.
Su Yanzhi raised his head, and snowflakes fell on his long eyelashes, turning into cold water droplets the next second.
"Replying to my eldest brother, I have memorized it."
"Oh? Then recite it to me."
The eldest prince sneered and handed the heater to the eunuch beside him. He looked down at Su Yanzhi who was kneeling on the ground and threatened with a sneer: "If you make a mistake in writing a word, you will kneel for another two hours."
Su Yanzhi took a deep breath and began to recite the long article.
Halfway through reciting, the eldest prince suddenly interrupted Su Yanzhi: "Stop! This is wrong. What comes after 'people are precious'?"
"The state comes second, and the emperor is the least important."
Su Yanzhi answered calmly.
"Wrong!" the eldest prince demanded sternly, "How can you treat a king lightly? You are committing treason! Add two more hours!"
Su Yanzhi lowered his eyes and stopped arguing.
