Chapter 262 Assassin

The chief sacrificer of the Spring Festival is naturally Ying Zheng, and the person who performs the sacrifice naturally falls on him and Hu Hai. As for the master of ceremonies, Si Xiang and others stand at the bottom. As for the person who reads the blessings, Ying Zheng also It has long been announced that he is the eldest son.

As for Si Zhong, Si Gu Liyue and others, they were waiting solemnly in an open space in front of the ministers.

The ceremony began with the sound of bells and music. First, the chief priest and the other priests took their places, offered incense devoutly, and then performed the grand ceremony of kneeling three times and knocking nine times.

Li picked up the bright yellow silk paper with the sacrificial words that had been prepared long ago from the pressing table. After slowly opening it, he read slowly: "The emperor ascends to heaven and shines on the earth. The spirits of the earth gather together and send sweet wind and rain. Everyone finds his place. Common people live in groups. Each has its own place, and it is as popular today as it has been in ancient times. One person worships the emperor and the heaven, and the earth is thin. The god who bears the sky brings sweet wind and rain. Common people and all kinds of things are all luxuriant. It is peaceful and peaceful, respectful. Pay homage to the spirit of the earth. Be diligent in giving to all directions, and be considerate of others."

Although the speech was different each time, the general meaning was the same. This time he wrote the speech after discussing it with Hu Ji, and showed it to Ying Zheng before reading it out today.

When he finished reading, he saw Ying Zheng looking forward with a solemn face and began to say his own memorial speech.

"Look up to the Holy Spirit, establish your mind for the heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the people, create peace for all generations, and achieve great success. I will only inherit the order of heaven, and I would like to use this sacrifice. Only God has shown you a lesson, my country and family. Good luck!"

When Ying Zheng's last words fell, Li knew that the ceremony was over.

So far, everything has been calm, with not even a ripple on the lake surface.

The sacrifices are still going on.

After Ying Zheng finished his blessing, Li rolled up the offering in his hand and burned it in the incense burner in front of him. This was also the rule. Burning the blessing was a way of expressing piety.

By this time, the main process of this grand ceremony has come to an end.

The next step is to play music. After the sacrificial music is played, all the civil and military officials will congratulate.

If those assassins didn't come out at that time, then playing music would be their last chance.

Because, after the music was played, the three of them would descend from the high platform with a good view and return to the middle of the guards. Regardless of whether the assassination was planned or not, such a timing would be too unreasonable.

Therefore, now is their last chance.

However, no matter how you think about it, there is a sense of contradiction.

After all, if he had appeared just now when Zhu Wen was celebrating, the timing of the assassination would have been obviously better. Even if Hu Hai's original intention was not to assassinate, as a leading assassin group, it is absolutely impossible to make such a mistake.

Then, the only explanation is that the people behind these assassins are not Hu Hai at all!

Rao Shili couldn't help but be startled by this conjecture, and then he denied in his heart that it was absolutely impossible. Ying Zheng would never let in forces that he couldn't control.

By the way, Ying Zheng!

It suddenly dawned on him, how could he forget that those assassins might have come in under Ying Zheng's instructions. This assassination may have been directed and performed by Ying Zheng himself. Only in this way can the coming person be completely in his hands.

However, if the person behind those people is Ying Zheng, where are the people arranged by Hu Hai?

If Ying Zheng replaced them with his people, he must have known about the existence of the previous assassins. According to his personality, there was no reason to tolerate it. However, if he knew about Hu Hai's secret hand, there was no reason to let Hu Hai appear. It's here.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out, so Li could only wait and see.

However, the only thing he was sure of was that no matter who was behind the assassins, he would do his best to save Ying Zheng.

Just when he figured this out, he, with his keen senses, heard a harsh sound breaking through the air, and then a lightning-like figure shot straight towards Ying Zheng.

Hu Hai reacted very quickly and shouted: "Father, be careful!"

And Li took a step in the direction of Ying Zheng almost at the same time, standing directly in front of Ying Zheng, looking like he was actually preparing to resist this attack with his flesh and blood.

The visitor seemed not to have expected such a turn of events. The sword in his hand trembled and flew out while narrowly grazing Li's shoulder.

And at this moment, Rang Li was sure that the person behind the assassin was definitely not Hu Hai. After all, if it were Hu Hai's people, they would definitely give him a sword without hesitation when they saw him rushing towards him.

Even if he was lucky enough to survive and gain Ying Zheng's favor, his body would definitely be injured. A weak person would be insulated from that position.

However, it was really unbelievable for those who came to see his desperate behavior, but the tip of the sword that seemed to have been accidentally deviated.

However, it would make sense if all this was arranged by Ying Zheng.

After all, Ying Zheng would not kill his own son who was devoted to him.

It seems that blocking this sword is very worthwhile. The trust gained by all means is not as important as the trust gained in this moment of life and death.

And he didn't come up to block the sword unprepared. With his skill, it was impossible to avoid it completely at such a short distance, but he could still make the sword tip deviate a little. .

As long as it doesn't penetrate his heart veins, it's impossible for Duan Murong's medical skills to damage his roots.

All of this actually happened in a flash of lightning. Li Ziran, who had his back to Ying Zheng, didn't know that he was in the way.

Ying Zheng's expression when he left.

But looking at Ying Zheng's next move, reaching out his big hand to grab his collar, and dragging him behind him to protect him, it can be seen that Ying Zheng was still shaken.

It’s not a loss if you take this beating yourself!

Li stood obediently behind Ying Zheng, while Hu Hai had already pulled out the long sword from the nearby guard and fought with the assassin. After such an interruption, Meng Tian also reacted and commanded the approaching guard to go up. Fight with the assassin, and within a few moments, the assassin will be defeated. ..
