The dark guard led away, and quickly rushed out through the rain like arrows.
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
"..."
The rain was too loud, and the movement in the distance could not be heard clearly, but the sound of counting came through the rain from time to time.
Following the sound of counting, the number of arrows shot gradually decreased.
A sharp whistle sounded.
Afterwards, those archers who were hiding in the dark and shooting arrows all stood up, fighting with the hidden guards, while retreating.
"The poor don't chase after them."
Luo Qingyan's voice sounded, and soon, the hidden guards withdrew back, besieging all the assassins who approached the tent at first.
"Not one left."
Luo Qingyan is very clear that even if such a dead man is arrested, he will not be able to interrogate him at all, so he simply does not stay.
After another quarter of an hour or so, the dark guard returned to Luo Qingyan.
"Your Majesty, there are fifty-seven assassins left behind."
"En." Luo nodded lightly: "The corpse is disposed of."
The assassination tonight finally came to an end, Luo Qingyan ordered the hidden guards to dispose of the corpse, and then turned back to the tent.
As soon as Liu Wen'an raised the curtain of the tent, Luo Qingyan already noticed something was wrong.
There was a slightly strange smell in the tent, and when they opened the curtain of the tent, they rushed to their faces.
Liu Wen'an quickly realized: "It's Fanyan."
It's just that he wasn't prepared just now, as soon as he uttered these three words, he already fell down.
Luo Qingyan held his breath and scooped up Liu Wen'an.
The hidden guards had rushed into the tent quickly, and opened the windows and doors of the tent to let the misty smoke dissipate quickly.
The one who fell to the ground in the tent was the secret guard he ordered to guard Chengye in the tent.
On the bed, the quilt was a bit messy, but there was no one there.
Luo Qingyan's body shook suddenly, his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves, and he rushed in three steps at a time, reaching out to touch the bed.
In winter, the temperature dissipates quickly, and the bed is already slightly cold...
Luo Qingyan's lips moved slightly: "I thought that the whistle sound was because the hidden guards rushed out, and the assassins suffered heavy losses, so they retreated with the whistle, but it turns out...it turns out that they have already won."
The dark guards had already given the antidote to the dark guards who fell on the ground quickly, and the dark guards woke up one after another, and they all knelt down on the ground: "This subordinate is not doing well, and he failed to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qingyan's eyes seemed to be icy cold: "What's the use of telling me that you are not good at doing things now? Why don't you hurry up and chase after him!"
"Yes!" The dark guard stumbled and rushed out quickly, rushing into the rain.
Luo Qingyan staggered and sat down on the chair, his lips trembled slightly, and his heart was rarely flustered.
Liu Wen'an has also woken up, but his mind is still a little dizzy, and he walks top-heavy. He entered the tent with one foot deep and one foot shallow. His eyes fell on the bed, and his expression changed: "Your Majesty! Prince! Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, he..."
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes to look at him, the veins on his forehead popped up: "It's gone."
Liu Wen'an took a step back before barely standing still: "Missing?"
Luo Qingyan nodded, he probably guessed what was going on: "From the very beginning, they came for Chengye. At first they lured me out, and then pretended to attack the Queen's tent, transferred Our gaze. Then, shoot arrows at us."
"They know that with the weather like this tonight, our ears are disturbed by the sound of wind and rain, and we can't hear where the arrow is coming from, so we can only let people rush over and kill the person who shot the arrow. But there are assassins outside It is not easy for ordinary guards to rush through those assassins, and it is not easy to get to those shooters, only the hidden guards... "
"This is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain."
"At this time, other assassins quietly approached the tent from behind. The rain outside was too loud, and even if they approached the tent, it was difficult for the hidden guards to find it easily. I was dizzy, and then took Chengye away."
Luo Qingyan pursed his lips: "At that time, all my attention was on those assassins and shooters. The hidden guards kept counting the shooters while they were getting rid of them. I didn't even notice that someone had entered the camp. .Just a few steps away from me, Chengye was taken away..."
Luo Qingyan looked as if everything was normal, not even the slightest change in his face. But Liu Wen'an knew that he must be extremely flustered.
After a long while, Luo Qingyan muttered to himself: "Shang'er is back, how should I explain to her... She trusts me so much, that's why she let me bring Chengye to the Xinggong Palace, so I can feel at ease when I leave Hand over the inheritance to me... "
Liu Wen'an hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince will be fine. Didn't the hidden guards go after him? It will be fine."
Luo Qingyan didn't seem to hear it, and sat with his back stiff.
Until it was about to light up outside, the sound of rain did not stop.
The dark guards came back and several people reported: "It rained too much last night, and the traces left by the assassins could not be traced outside. We sent people from all directions to chase them, and the dark guards dispersed, but no one left. chasing..."
"The subordinate is not doing well, so I ask the master to punish him."
Luo Qingyan's eyes fell coldly on the body of the dark guard, and he sneered: "Punishment? Even if I kill you, what's the use?"
The dark guard knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Luo Qingyan took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed the gloom in his chest: "Quickly contact all the hidden piles around, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to search them out!"
"yes."
The dark guards dispersed again, Luo Qingyan was still sitting on the chair, his eyes were piercing red.
Ming Zhu came in from the outside, seeing this situation, a dark light flashed in his eyes, he lowered his eyes again, and lowered his voice to report to Liu Wen'an: "Lord Sui from the Ministry of Punishment is asking to see His Majesty."
"not see."
Before Liu Wen'an answered, Luo Qingyan spoke hoarsely.
Liu Wen'an quickly waved his hand towards Ming Zhu: "Let's just say that His Majesty is unwell today, and no one is allowed to disturb you."
Mingzhu nodded, looked at Luo again and said softly, lowering his voice a bit: "Aren't we going to hurry today?"
Liu Wen'an shook his head: "It's still raining, don't hurry, let everyone rest where they are, and wait for the rain to stop before listening to His Majesty."
"Yes." Mingzhu lowered her eyes and stepped back.
Walking to the door, I heard Liu Wen'an's voice persuading Luo Qingyan from inside: "Your Majesty, you've been up all night, you should go and rest for a while. Your Majesty hasn't eaten anything, or else, my slave will pass on some food first." Is there something to eat?"
