684 Warning, the Emperor's Wrath
The hidden weapon is poisonous!
It is really shameless that the descendant of a temple would poison the hidden weapon. What is even more shameless is that the emperor actually let Fu Lin bring the hidden weapon into the palace. It seems that the emperor attaches great importance to Fu Lin.
The descendant of the temple is indeed capable. In just half a day, he made the emperor trust him so much. He wants to see what miracles Fu Lin can perform tomorrow.
"Puff..." Lan Jiuqing wrapped his hand with his sleeve and pulled out the hidden weapon on his shoulder with his backhand.
Black blood spurted out and a feeling of dizziness came over Lan Jiuqing. He found that he could not stand steadily. His steps were weak and he felt as if he was walking on cotton. His eyes gradually became blurred and he could not see anything. His legs were no longer able to support his body.
Damn it, what kind of poison is this? It actually works on him. He has been eating all kinds of toxins since he was a child. Ordinary poisons are of no use to him. Even the most poisonous poison in the world can't kill him. He didn't expect the poison on Fu Lin's hidden weapon to be so powerful that it made him lose his balance so quickly.
No...if this continues, he will be killed here today.
Lan Jiuqing quickly shook his head and bit his tongue hard. The piercing pain made him regain some clarity. Lan Jiuqing turned his head and looked behind him, and found that Fu Lin was chasing after him with a sword. Lan Jiuqing snorted coldly and secretly gathered his luck...
Bang... Seeing that Fu Lin's sword was about to stab at him, Lan Jiuqing hurriedly threw out the hidden weapon in his hand that was poisoned and stained with poisonous blood.
His strength was not enough, but fortunately, the distance between them was close enough. The hidden weapon flew towards Fu Lin's face, and Fu Lin had to stop again to avoid the attack of the hidden weapon.
And this gap is enough for Lan Jiuqing.
Lan Jiuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sealed the acupuncture points on his shoulder to prevent the poison from seeping into his heart meridian. His entire left arm instantly lost strength and hung to one side.
Lan Jiuqing ran outside with a sword in hand, but just as he rushed out of the palace, he was surrounded by layers of Imperial Guards. Lan Jiuqing once again sighed that the efficiency of the Imperial Guards was too high. Now he didn't know whether to thank Feng Qingchen or hate her. If the Imperial Guards had not suffered losses repeatedly at the hands of Feng Qingchen, they would not have trained so hard.
It seems that if he rushes forward today, he will have to pay a price!
The firelight shone on the silver mask, reflecting a dazzling light. Lan Jiuqing took a breath, and without stopping, he raised his sword and rushed forward, intending to fight his way out.
Dangdangdang... The sound of weapons clashing rang out. He was now facing the same situation as Xiling Tianlei and Nanling Jinfan before. It was really retribution in this life. His luck today was extremely bad.
Lan Jiuqing kept moving forward without defending himself. His body was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was the enemy's or his own. When Fu Lin rushed out, he saw Lan Jiuqing trapped in the encirclement, and immediately gave an impolite order: "Archers, get ready."
Unfortunately, when the guards heard his order, they did not execute it immediately. Instead, they looked at their leader and asked. The little leader was also stunned, then he glanced at the situation on the battlefield and nodded.
Fu Lin's eyes flashed with anger. Damn it, he forgot that this was not his territory. He knew that if he delayed, he would have no chance of catching the man named Lan. As expected...
Fu Lin's guess was correct. When Lan Jiuqing heard that Fu Lin had sent out archers, he knew that if he didn't leave now, he would have no chance of escaping today. Lan Jiuqing gritted his teeth and, regardless of the danger of the poisonous blood flowing to his heart, he broke through the defense under the layers of siege of the Imperial Guards and left Yonghe Hall.
"Chase him quickly, the assassin is injured and he can't run far." Fu Lin glanced at the guards coldly.
It was all because of these damn idiots who didn't carry out his orders immediately, causing the person to escape and leaving him with no way to deal with the aftermath. He now only hoped that this man named Lan was strong enough to escape the pursuit of the guards, otherwise he would be in trouble...
"Yes." This time the guards did not dare to question Fu Lin's order and chased out quickly, but it was too late.
Lan Jiuqing broke through the encirclement like a fish jumping into the sea. It would be difficult for these guards to capture him!
Two assassins appeared in one night. Even if the emperor was dead, he would be awakened by this time. However, as a son of a wealthy family, he could not sit still in the hall. How could the emperor come when there were assassins around? It was not until the palace servants came to report that the assassins had run away that the emperor came to the Xianghe Hall under heavy protection.
"Fu Lin, what's going on?" The emperor was very angry and the consequences were serious.
The palace has always been safe, so why did Fu Lin encounter an assassin as soon as he arrived? Could it be that Fu Lin is as unlucky as Li Xiang?
The wrath of the emperor is something that ordinary people cannot bear. Even though Fu Lin is a descendant of the temple, he has lived overseas for many years. Once the emperor's momentum is aroused, he is inevitably affected.
Under the pressure of the emperor's aura, Fu Lin took a half step back, his breathing quickened, and his face lost all color. The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
Fu Lin exhaled quietly, and when he calmed down, he said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone has leaked your sacrifice to the heaven tomorrow. These two groups seem to be coming for me."
Fu Lin said this politely, but the blame in his words was quite obvious. He was accusing the emperor of failing to keep secrets. The emperor had just decided to offer sacrifices to heaven and people outside the palace received the news right after. The emperor still had the nerve to ask him what was going on. He was lucky enough that he didn't blame the emperor.
Ahem... The emperor coughed uncomfortably. Fu Lin was not wrong. If the news had not been leaked, how could so many people come after Fu Lin?
However, even saying this still made him feel embarrassed, and the emperor gave an order with a sullen face: "Come here, call the Divine Tiger Team to protect Master Fu."
The emperor would not admit that he was wrong. Thinking of Fu Lin's value, the emperor decided to protect him more strongly. It would only take one day anyway.
Tomorrow, if the snow doesn't stop by 15:30 tomorrow morning, this man with the surname Fu, who claims to be a descendant of the Fu family, will die without a burial place.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fu Lin stopped when he saw that things were going well, and at the same time reminded the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I just injured the assassin's left shoulder. After the assassin escaped, he definitely couldn't leave the city, so he should be looking for someone to treat him in the city."
Fu Lin would not say anything more, he believed that the emperor knew what to do.
"The whole city is under martial law. Search for the person with an injured left shoulder. Keep an eye on all pharmacies and doctors. Report any unusual movements immediately." The emperor wisely gave the order to the eunuch behind him, and the eunuch carried out the order without saying a word.
"Your Majesty is wise." Fu Lin praised expressionlessly.
He believed that with the ability of the man in black, he would not be caught by the emperor. The emperor's two tricks were okay to deal with ordinary assassins, but they were completely useless against people who already lived in the imperial city and had a large family and wealth.
Nowadays, which big family doesn't have a court physician? Some families employ court physicians whose skills are better than those of the imperial physician. It is difficult to catch an assassin based on these two points.
Precisely because he was certain that the emperor could not catch the assassin, Fu Lin boldly said that he had injured the assassin. Otherwise, if the emperor found out that he carried poisonous hidden weapons at all times, he would be in trouble.
"Mr. Fu, have a good rest." The emperor's complexion improved a little. The emperor loved his face, and Fu Lin's previous words really embarrassed him.
"Farewell, Your Majesty." Fu Lin lowered his head slightly and said expressionlessly. Only after the emperor left did Fu Lin look up and look at the starry sky. His glass-like eyes revealed a hint of doubt.
The Emperor has come to this world, it is the destiny!
What kind of fate is this? Why can’t he understand it?
As soon as the emperor walked out of Xianghe Hall, he once again ordered the eunuchs around him to purge the people in the palace again and never allow any spies to appear around him.
Bastard, a dignified emperor is surrounded by spies, he is too cowardly. Fortunately, there were no outsiders when he was talking to Fu Lin, otherwise if the news of the snow stopping at 3:44 pm got out, his sacrifice to the heaven would become a big joke.
"I obey your command." The eunuch felt cold all over. He knew that this winter would definitely be a disastrous year for Dongling. There would be piles of corpses both inside and outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Imperial Guard requests to see you." The young eunuch came to report as the emperor had just stepped into the council hall.
"Announce!" The emperor knew that this was related to the assassin. He wanted to see who it was. He had such a long hand, which was a challenge to the emperor's prestige!
"Finally..." The commander of the imperial guards had not yet finished his greetings when the emperor interrupted him impatiently: "Just tell me the result. Where is the assassin?"
"I am incompetent. I let the assassin escape." After the commander of the Royal Guards finished speaking, he lowered his head. It was a very cold day, but beads of sweat were dripping down his face.
"The assassin ran away? Are all the people I have hired useless? There are so many of you and you can't even catch a few assassins." The emperor was dissatisfied, deeply dissatisfied, and the emperor was dissatisfied, so the position of the commander of the imperial guards also came to an end.
The commander of the Imperial Guards' heart was pounding wildly. If the emperor was unhappy, it would not be as simple as dismissal. This would cost him his head. The commander of the Imperial Guards could not care less at this time. He closed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I was incompetent and did not catch the assassin, but I did see his face."
"Who is he? Tell me." Knowing the identity of the assassin is better than knowing nothing, the emperor's expression eased a little.
Although the guards were still not sure, they still said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, there are three assassins in total, namely Prince Jinfan of Nanling, Prince Lei of Xiling, and another person in black clothes and silver mask. If I remember correctly, this person should be Lan Jiuqing, a master who has risen in the martial arts world recently."
I would rather die than let my friend die. The commander of the Royal Guards quickly sold out all three people. As for whether they were these three people, he didn't care. He looked like them anyway.
"Nanling and Xiling, you are really capable. These six months have not been wasted." The emperor sneered after hearing this. He originally thought that it was his good ninth brother, but he did not expect that his ninth brother had become timid after being imprisoned once and dared not to get involved in the affairs of the palace.
As for Lan Jiuqing, the emperor didn't even take a Jianghu person seriously. That Lan Jiuqing was most likely related to Xiling and Nanling. After learning the identity of the assassin, the emperor felt a little relieved. He glanced at the kneeling commander of the Imperial Guards and decided to let him go, thinking that he was still useful. "I understand. Leave."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not punishing me. Long live the emperor." The commander of the imperial guards saved his life and walked out quickly. As soon as he left, the emperor's face darkened and he said to the eunuch beside him, "Pass on my decree. The marriage between Prince Chun and Princess Yaohua will be postponed."
He wanted to teach Nanling Jinfan and Xiling Tianlei a lesson, so that they would understand what it meant to be obedient!
