Huangli Ji

On this day, the Imperial Martial City was decorated with lights, and the people took to the streets to celebrate and welcome the heroes who defended the country and defeated the demon beasts in their own way. The streets and alleys were crowded, the gongs and drums were noisy, and Long Mingrui personally led the ministers of civil and military affairs out of the palace to greet them, which is rare in the history of the gilded empire. Surrounded by the people, the mighty procession entered the Huangwu City from the Xuande Gate, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Tian Yinong couldn't be interested in standing next to Long Mingrui no matter what, the prisoner car escorting Tianchu slowly followed behind the team, and the grand scene made Tianchu forget his situation, and waved at the people like a hero, which immediately focused the attention of many people, causing a series of adverse effects. The contemptuous gazes around made Tian Chu extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but turn his head sideways and point at the people around him and say, "Ah Liu, why do those untouchables look at me like this, write them all down, and go back to settle accounts with them one by one." "

Ah Liu agreed, looked in the direction of Tian Chu's finger, and couldn't help but gasp, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Young master, how many people are here?

"Cut, these untouchables, Young Master Ben has only been away for a few days and dares to be so presumptuous. "

"Young master, looking at this situation, our affairs in Qinchuan should have reached the imperial capital, otherwise they would not dare to be unreasonable to the young master if they lent them a few guts. "

"What's wrong with Qin Chuan? Young Master Ben has made meritorious contributions in Qin Chuan, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't reward me, he actually took me back as a prisoner, I don't accept it, I want to appeal, I was wronged......" Tian Chu's voice shouted louder and louder, his emotions became more and more excited, and his hands kept shaking the prisoner car. I don't know who in the crowd shouted, "Waste, murderer, it's so rampant when it's dying." An egg smashed into the door of the head impartially, Tianchu's voice stopped abruptly, and the whole person was in a state of confusion. The surrounding crowd was also stunned, it is estimated that no one would have thought that someone would dare to throw eggs at Tianchu. Tian Chu was stunned for a moment and then suddenly came to his senses, and the whole person began to go crazy, and his anger rushed upward, and he was angry and scolded "you untouchables" before the words fell, but unexpectedly, the sky was black and pressed like locusts flying towards him, eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and all kinds of garbage were smashed towards him.

When did Tian Chu suffer such humiliation? He didn't care about his noble image, he tried his best to break free from the prisoner car, and the roar went straight to the sky, the whole scene was out of control in an instant, and the huge commotion attracted Long Mingrui's attention, and Tian Yinong on the side snorted with a gloomy face: "This rebel."

Suddenly, eight purple rays of light shot directly at Tianchu from different directions, and the powerful energy set off a gust of wind, and many civilians were affected by the purple light, their flesh and blood blurred, and the purple light tore through everything around them like a sharp blade.

No one thought that someone would assassinate the heir of the Heavenly Family in the imperial capital of the Gilded Empire in broad daylight, this time and place was absolutely bold, and the blatant assassination in front of the Emperor alone was already a humiliation of Long Mingrui and the face of the Empire, which shows that the other party did not take the Gilded Empire in his eyes.

The sudden assassination made the whole scene out of control, the wailing and screaming were deafening, the surrounding people fled in all directions in a panic, and the large-scale pushing caused some people to be trampled to death.

"Chu'er" Tian Yinong let out an exclamation, and stumbled down the steps under his feet.

"There are assassins, protect Your Majesty" Long Wuwei quickly protected Long Mingrui in the middle, Long Mingrui's face was gloomy, he waved his hand and shouted back to everyone angrily, his eyes staring coldly at the chaotic crowd.

Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation, dozens of powerful aura appeared around it, quickly spreading to the surroundings, the terrifying aura made the chaotic crowd instantly quiet, and the purple light that attacked Tianchu was also defeated, and then several screams came from all directions, and the hidden assassin fell in response to the sound and was caught by the guards who caught up.

The

door of the council hall was closed, Tianyinong looked at Long Mingrui quietly, neither of them spoke, a hurried footsteps came, the door was opened with a "squeak", and an attendant hurriedly entered the hall with a panicked face: "Your Majesty, eight killers, committed suicide by taking poison at the same time."

Long Mingrui's face was cold, and he stood up suddenly, Tian Yinong looked at Long Mingrui in disbelief, and the faces of the two were extremely complicated. This seems to be an ordinary assassination incident, but there seems to be a huge disaster hidden behind it, Tianyinong saluted slightly: "Your Majesty, this matter is important, I will go to the heavenly prison for a while." Long Mingrui didn't speak and fell into deep thought, Tianyinong didn't dare to disturb, and stood quietly aside. After a long time, Long Mingrui said slowly: "Yinong, this matter is quite strange, you have always been low-key, although you are a high-ranking and powerful person who holds the empire's economy, you are dedicated to the country and the people, and your reputation among the people is quite high and you have no enemies. The assassination of Chu'er in Gyeonggi on the surface, on the surface, is aimed at your heavenly home, but the time and place of the assassination are intriguing, don't go to the prison first, Tianchu can't go back yet, temporarily take him into prison, and deal with it after the investigation is clear. "

Tian Yinong bowed slightly: "Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister has no way to teach, let the naughty child cause you trouble." "

Huangwu City, the hub of imperial power, the gathering place of princes, nobles and celebrities, the news of Tianchu's assassination was transmitted back to the headquarters of the major families as soon as possible, and the streets and alleys were all discussed.

Prince Ze's Mansion, Murong Lie was full of energy, took a sip of fragrant tea and said excitedly: "Lord Wang, the Heavenly Family is going to make a big deal this time, Tianyinong has always done things without leaks, without any flaws, how could his precious son not only kill Long Zhi but also kill Qin Sining in Qinchuan, I don't know where he provoked such a big enemy, he was assassinated as soon as he returned to the imperial capital, and he really helped the prince." "

Long Ruize forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, but he still couldn't hide the joy on his face, and sneered: "It's really the first time in the world to dare to openly assassinate in Huangwu City, I want to see how he Tianyinong and Lao Liu deal with it." "

Long Mingqing was dressed in military uniform, his expression was grim, and he quickly walked into the hall, "Your Majesty, all eight black-clothed people committed suicide. "

Tian Yinong frowned slightly, and muttered in his heart, "Long Mingqing, as the commander-in-chief of the forbidden army, shoulders the responsibility of security and security of the imperial capital, and an assassination incident occurred in broad daylight in front of the emperor, such a major matter, do you want to get through it with just a simple sentence?" Long Mingrui looked at Long Mingqing quietly, there was no wave on his face, and he seemed to be still waiting for Long Mingqing's follow-up report.

Long Mingqing felt empty in his heart, he could not escape the blame for the assassination incident in the imperial capital no matter what, and in the face of the eight assassins, he seemed to be able to distinguish only the gender, and the rest of the information was a mystery.

The more Long Mingrui didn't speak, the more dull the atmosphere in the conference hall became, Long Mingqing was nervous for a while, dense beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, there were only three people in the huge conference hall, and he had no substantive reporting information, eager to break this terrible silence, and secretly raised his head to look at Tianyinong.

At this time, Tianyinong also happened to look at Long Mingqing, the two met their eyes, reflecting each other's hearts, in the final analysis, the cause of the matter was the Heavenly Family, Long Mingqing felt that he was wronged in his heart, he was affected by the Heavenly Family, and at this critical moment, you Tianyinong should always have something to say.

Tian Yinong understood Long Mingqing's intentions, and his situation at this time was also embarrassing, who was provoked by the Heavenly Family, his son was assassinated for no reason, and you were the prince of the Imperial Empire and the Praetorian Guard in charge of the security of the imperial capital.

Tian Yinong seemed to be roasted on both sides of the fire at the moment, there were words of suffering, things were not good, and he was always silent like this, Tian Yinong secretly looked at Long Mingrui, and still couldn't see any changes, so he could only pretend to be anxious and asked: "Prince Qing, can the identity of the killer be confirmed?"

Tian Yinong's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the silent conference hall, and he couldn't help but be startled, and kept complaining in his heart that he had spoken loudly just now. Just a simple sentence, Long Mingqing grabbed a life-saving straw at a critical moment, raised his head and replied eagerly: "Yinong Chitose, I have carefully examined it, these people have not left any evidence that can be identified, from the analysis of their cultivation and suicide situation, the cultivation of the six qi of the level, the method of suicide by taking poison is professional, and it should be a professional killer who was hired." "

While speaking, the two secretly glanced at Long Mingrui, Long Mingrui's face still did not show any emotion, and the two were embarrassed to stop for a while, so they could only ask and answer like a double reed, and they were sweating. If Long Mingrui still didn't speak, the atmosphere at the scene would be too embarrassing, Tianyinong regretted it in his heart, got on Long Mingqing's thief ship, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.

Time passed minute by minute, the two of them said without a match, their voices became smaller and smaller, and at this time Long Mingrui spoke: "The assassination is aimed at Tianchu, and the strength of the assassins is only at the general level, they are afraid that they don't want to go back alive, it can be concluded that they are not an ordinary killer organization." If the strength of the assassin is king, and the target of the assassination is me, what will be the consequences?"

The embarrassing atmosphere instantly became cold, Long Mingqing's back was cold, shivering, sweat soaked his clothes, and subconsciously knelt on the ground, and replied in a trembling voice: "Brother Chen's protection is not effective, please punish the imperial brother." "

Tian Yinong on the side was pale, and he was also scared out of a cold sweat, and kept complaining about Tianchu in his heart, where did this little ancestor who caused trouble cause such a big trouble.

Long Mingrui was not angry, waved his hand to signal Long Mingqing to get up, sighed softly and said: "The safety of Huangwu City is the foundation of my gilded empire, you are the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard, you should understand where your responsibilities lie." "

Long Mingqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up and said: "What the imperial brother has taught is that the younger brother will definitely do his duty and not pay the imperial brother high hopes, how should these killers be dealt with?" "

Long Mingrui looked at Long Mingqing and said, "People are dead, they are worthless, you go down first." As soon as the words fell, Long Mingrui added: "One farmer stays for a while." "

"Yes" Long Mingqing responded, he secretly looked at Long Mingrui and then at Tianyinong, and slowly withdrew from the hall.

After Long Mingqing withdrew from the main hall, Long Mingrui stood up and walked down the steps gently, Tian Yinong greeted and followed behind Long Mingrui, and Long Mingrui sighed softly for a long time and said: "Yi Nong, I'm afraid that the chaos is coming, I follow the ancestral system to retreat in the Dragon Palace, I'm afraid I can't fight side by side with you, Xiang Hua still needs your assistance, take advantage of the fact that I still have some time to settle the matter of Xiang Ying and Tianchu." "

Tianyi Nong's heart was slightly shocked, the retreat of the Tenglong Palace is death, and he just wanted to understand why the Long family had such an ancestral system, the king of a country was in high spirits, but why he entered the Tenglong Palace for retreat, and since ancient times, he has only seen the retreat but has never seen anyone go out, and he doesn't even know the life and death of the retreat person. The meaning of the imminent chaos in Long Mingrui's words is related to the assassination of Tianchu, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Your Majesty, Xiang Hua was raised by the old minister, and he should be doing his best, and thank Your Majesty for his love for the heavenly family

Long Mingrui smiled slightly, "Didn't you see any clues about today's assassination?"

Being asked by Long Mingrui so coldly, Tian Yinong seemed to suddenly realize something, his eyes widened in fright, his mouth was wide open, and he looked at Long Mingrui with an incredible face, wanting to speak but couldn't speak.
