Chapter 140 Ancient Rebellion Foolish Female Supporting Character 10 Assassinated
Yan Mi pierced the old man's throat with a sword, and he was killed before he could even move.
The fight on the other side was almost over. These people were not very strong, and the four of them were more than enough to deal with them.
"My queen, someone is coming." said one of them who was particularly good at investigation.
Yan Mi nodded at her, "Let's leave quickly and don't get discovered."
The four of them left quickly.
In the messy yard, four bodies lay on the ground covered with wounds.
The group of people who came here were wearing the same uniform, and the leader looked somewhat similar to Yan Mi.
"Sir, we have to be careful." The man next to him said with a fierce look on his face.
"Well, let's have people surround this place first. If anyone tries to escape, they must be caught." Yan Cheng immediately made arrangements.
"Understood." The group immediately dispersed and surrounded the room tightly.
However, when Yan Cheng and others entered, they only saw four corpses lying on the ground.
The brutal man immediately ordered, "Search the entire area thoroughly. Don't miss any corner."
"yes."
He returned to Yan Cheng and asked, "Sir, what should we do?"
Yan Cheng stood up from the corpses. His hands were stained with blood. "The blood is still warm, which means these people died not long ago. Those who killed them must not have gotten far. Let's see if there are any clues nearby."
"Yes." The brutal man took the order and went to investigate immediately.
Yan Cheng looked around the yard. There wasn't even any furniture in the yard, and it looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
No wonder I noticed something was wrong here before.
He glanced at the corpse on the ground again and didn't take it to heart anymore.
It was his turn to patrol tonight. He happened to pass by here and heard a sound, so he followed the sound and came here.
But fortunately they came over to take a look, otherwise they wouldn’t know that someone was dealing with these spies for them.
A group of people searched for a long time and only found a footprint on the yard wall.
Yan Cheng looked at the footprints, thinking, "This footprint doesn't look like a man's, it should be a woman's."
"Could he also be a spy?"
Yan Cheng shook his head. "That's unlikely. If they were spies, they wouldn't kill each other. Now that things are over here, remember to get rid of these bodies and search the house thoroughly."
"I understand." The ferocious man saluted.
Yan Mi, who had left, returned to the palace safely.
At the same time, she also learned that some of the places that Sheng had been asked to investigate before were not bases, but there were also a few places that had doubts and needed further confirmation.
Yan Mi felt relaxed, and the pride in her heart was self-evident. She had destroyed one den, and if she kept working hard, she would destroy all of them one day.
But Yan Mi also knew that this would require tremendous effort.
A few days later, Yan Mi heard that the Zhao State spy base had been discovered, and that the court attached great importance to the matter.
She was originally happy, but then she heard that they had found evidence.
Yan Mi's heart was beating fast. While picking up some food for Han Chengdao, he asked, "What evidence is that?"
"A footprint. According to Yan Cheng, it belongs to a woman." Han Chengdao said.
Yan Mi's heart was beating fast. She was really too careless and actually left such a piece of evidence.
"Did you discover anything else later? I always feel that there is more than one location." Yan Mi said.
Han Chengdao nodded, "Indeed, there are more than one, but I will definitely investigate these people, and then none of them will be able to escape."
…
Somewhere in the capital.
"Twelve is dead."
"It was Cheng Guo who did it. I heard that General Yan has also taken action. From now on, we should keep a low profile and not let anyone catch us."
"Twelve is so useless. He was killed so soon."
"Chengguo must be very concerned about this matter now, so everyone should hold back a little."
"clear."
When they finished their discussion, they disappeared in an instant.
Where they didn't notice, a pair of eyes saw all of this.
Yan Mi was lying down reading a military book when she suddenly heard a knock on the window. She opened it and saw a piece of paper flying in.
Yan Mi opened it out of boredom and his eyes lit up instantly.
After such a long ambush, there was finally a result.
These people are hiding quite well, but next, she will grab their tails and pull them out one by one.
It was another dark night, and a light rain was falling.
Yan Mi walked through the palace in a nightgown.
She knew that it was impossible to eliminate all these people by her own strength, so she had to rely on Han Chengdao's power.
With her brother taking action, none of those people will be able to escape.
She revealed her true identity a little, and the guards soon caught up with her.
"Who are you? Stop!"
Yan Mi moved very quickly and did not show any fear at all because of being discovered.
She vaguely closed the distance between herself and the other person.
When the other party was about to approach, she quickly distanced herself from him, then jumped off the city wall. By the time the other party came over, she had already disappeared.
Yan Mi, hiding in the dark, listened to the voices of the guards, who were still searching for her everywhere.
Yan Mi smiled, and after the people searching for her left, she turned again and headed straight for the imperial study.
However, because of the commotion she caused, the imperial study is now heavily guarded.
Yan Mi stood on a rooftop in the distance, drew his bow, and shot an arrow towards the imperial study.
The arrow pierced the wind and firmly nailed into the carefully crafted pillar. The guards standing beside Han Chengdao immediately took action.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"Hurry, hurry, protect the emperor!"
Han Chengdao shook his head and looked at the arrow, his eyes dark. "Catch this man."
"yes."
The deputy commander of the guards led his men to capture the assassin, while the commander of the guards took the arrow off the pillar.
"Your Majesty, there is a note on the arrow." He took the note off and after taking a look at it, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Let me see it." Han Chengdao took the note and laughed after reading the contents on it.
"Your Majesty, do you think the contents of this note are reliable?" asked the commander.
Han Chengdao threw the note to him and said, "It's better to believe it than not to believe it. Since the other party gave me a hint with good intentions, how can we just waste their kindness like this?"
The commander was a little confused. "What if this person is deliberately luring us into a trap?"
"Do you think if she really wants to do something bad to us, she would need to use so much force?" Han Chengdao said.
The commander didn't quite understand, "But what if..."
"I know."
The commander did not argue, "Yes."
An hour later, the deputy commander finally returned to the imperial study.
As soon as he arrived, he knelt down and said, "I have failed to do my job well and failed to catch the thief. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
Han Chengdao glanced at the commander with a half-smile, the meaning of which was self-evident. The commander froze and immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty is very clever."
Han Chengdao waved his hand and said, "Get up, we are just arresting one person, with so many people, how could someone escape?"
The two did not dare to stand up, and Han Chengdao walked around them and walked out of the imperial study.
After shooting the arrow, Yan Mi immediately ran towards the outside of the palace, then turned around and returned to his own bedroom in a deserted place.
Fortunately, no one discovered him along the way, and Yan Mi was able to escape.
As soon as she returned to her bedroom, she heard a lot of noise outside.
Yan Mi pretended to be woken up and asked impatiently: "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor was assassinated. The guards are now trying to capture the assassin. They said they would come to protect Your Majesty, so they spoke a little louder." The palace maid outside the door replied.
Yan Mi hurriedly got out of bed, looking very panicked. When she pushed open the door, her clothes were disheveled, as if she was worried about Han Chengdao and had not had time to put on her clothes.
"Where is the emperor now? I want to go and see him. Is the emperor injured?" Yan Mi looked at the palace maid who had just answered.
The palace maid knew nothing about this.
Yan Mi was so frustrated that she just grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on. "Where are the guards? Where are they?"
"The guards are outside the door. Do you want to see them, madam?"
Yan Mi shook off the palace maid's hand. Is it necessary to ask such a question?
She walked out of the palace quickly and saw the guards at the door. She grabbed one of them and said, "I heard that the emperor was assassinated. Is he okay?"
The guard was shocked for a moment, but when he saw the clothes on Yan Mi, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is fine. The assassin has not been caught yet. The palace is full of dangers. Concubine Jin, please do not move around casually."
Yan Mi didn't listen. She was arrogant and domineering. "I want to go to the imperial study. Someone come!"
"Please don't make things difficult for me, Empress Jin. Please go back to your bedroom." The guard stopped Yan Mi and did not let her go out.
"How dare you! I have no right to stop you from doing anything." Yan Mi pointed at the guard and shouted, her previous dignity shattered at this moment.
The guards remained unmoved.
They only obeyed Han Chengdao's orders. Since Yan Mi was a concubine, they naturally had to give her face. However, for the time being, protecting the concubines' lives was more important.
Yan Mi was stopped and couldn't leave, so she had to return to the palace. For this, she even swore, "When I see the emperor tomorrow, I will make sure he punishes you!"
She made a big scene and spent a lot of energy. Yan Mi felt that performing was more tiring than fighting.
After an hour, she rested.
She only heard the door being pushed open and someone walking in.
Yan Mi woke up immediately. She stared at the door and saw Han Chengdao's figure appear from behind the curtain.
Yan Mi breathed a sigh of relief, yet was incredibly excited. She threw herself at Han Chengdao in just her underwear, groping him all over. "Your Majesty, why are you here? Are you injured? Has the assassin been caught?"
Han Chengdao held Yan Mi firmly. Seeing her worried look, he felt much better. "I'm fine, and the assassin hasn't been caught."
"I'm glad you're not hurt. I was afraid you would get hurt, because then I would feel bad too." Yan Mi withdrew her hand and looked down. Her legs were pure white. Realizing that she was not wearing anything, her mind went blank and her face turned red.
Han Chengdao picked up Yan Mi and put her in the quilt. "It's so cold now. Don't rush over like this in the future."
Yan Mi leaned against him, the tip of her nose filled with the scent of ambergris, and she felt relieved. "I was just too worried about you."
Han Chengdao held her hand and said, "I know you are worried about me, so I came to see you. Fortunately, nothing happened to you."
Yan Mi smiled softly, "We are in tune with each other."
Han Chengdao also laughed.
"Then will the emperor sleep with me tonight? I'm quite scared. Please don't leave, Your Majesty?" Yan Mi looked up at Han Chengdao and said coquettishly.
"Okay." Han Chengdao agreed immediately.
He never thought of leaving since he came.
