Inside the Tang Palace.
The prince was assassinated.
The originally non-threatening Nanming mission suddenly exploded, and the cold and biting killing intent filled every inch of the air.
almost instantly,
The deputy commander of the forbidden army guarding the Xuanwu Gate suddenly opened his eyes and looked at where the prince was.
This deputy commander is a first-rank grand master, responsible for guarding the imperial city, and is extremely sensitive to aura, let alone this unrestrained killing intent
"not good."
"There is a problem with the prince."
The Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army looked extremely ugly.
Although the crown prince is some distance away from the Xuanwu Gate at this moment, if something happens to the crown prince and His Majesty asks him to take the blame, he will probably be able to bear the blame.
The life and death of the crown prince is related to the foundation of the Tang state, and by that time, even if he is a first-rank grand master, he will inevitably be severely punished.
"You send some people, come with me!"
The deputy commander of the forbidden army took a step forward, and his whole body turned into a phantom, heading towards the place where the murderous intent emerged.
The reaction speed of the vice-commander of the forbidden army was already very fast. When he noticed the murderous intent, it took an instant.
When leaving, it took another moment.
Afterwards, it took three moments to rush from Xuanwumen to the place where the prince was.
From the start of the assassination to the arrival of the deputy commander of the forbidden army, only five moments passed in total.
What can five moments do
For ordinary people, blinking a few times means that a dozen moments have passed.
However.
For the vice-commander of the forbidden army, these five moments were like years, and he was anxious.
The vice-commander of the Imperial Army knew too well that to be able to assassinate the crown prince in the Tang Palace, there must have been a very careful plan, and even if there was no certainty, it would be impossible for these assassins hiding in the palace to take action.
Now that the shot has been made, it means that these assassins feel that they can succeed in the assassination.
"His Royal Highness."
"I hope you can hold on until I catch up."
The vice-commander of the Forbidden Army's thoughts turned rapidly, and the internal force circulating in his body was almost boiling.
next moment.
The Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army arrived, just as he was about to suppress the assassins.
He saw a scene he will never forget.
The assassins who were originally full of shocking killing intent were shocked, and then their bodies began to burn. They turned into ashes and disappeared without a scream.
"This is?!"
The deputy commander of the forbidden army trembled in his heart and was extremely shocked.
Before he arrived, he had envisioned countless possibilities, even considering the prince's death at the hands of an assassin.
But the only thing I never thought would be the scene in front of me.
It would be understandable if these assassins were patted into flesh or cut into two pieces, but spontaneous combustion without fire, turning into ashes is somewhat beyond the imagination of the deputy commander of the forbidden army.
Prince Li Sheng and many of his confidants were also dumbfounded.
A moment ago, they were in danger of life and death, and they might die at the hands of these assassins at any time, but now such an unimaginable scene happened.
at this time.
A large number of forbidden troops began to arrive.
The deputy commander of the forbidden army suppressed the shock in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Protect Your Highness the Crown Prince."
No matter what happened in front of us, the safety of His Royal Highness must be the first priority.
"Third brother, are you okay?"
Su Yueyun barely regained her composure, tugged at Su Qin's arm, and asked in a low voice.
"I'm fine."
Su Qin shook his head and glanced at the ashes left by the assassins.
As early as when these Nanming missions entered the palace, he had already discovered that these Nanming missions had other plans.
However, at that time, Su Qin felt that as long as the group of assassins did not affect the East Palace, he and the younger sister, the prince, he would not bother to intervene.
In the entire Tang Imperial Palace, Su Qin knew only a few people, Su Yueyun and Li Sheng.
As for the others, Su Qin didn't care about the life and death of those princes and eunuchs.
But what Su Qin didn't expect was that the target of these assassins was Prince Li Sheng.
"Emperor Ming."
Su Qin's expression remained motionless, his eyes deep in thought.
"Third brother, it's okay, everything is over."
Su Yueyun thought that Su Qin was frightened, so she quickly comforted her.
"Nanming Mission?"
"Damn!!!"
At this time, the vice-commander of the Forbidden Army had roughly understood the whole story, and knew that the group of assassins who suddenly appeared were members of the Nanming Mission.
"His Royal Highness, I will personally escort you back to the East Palace."
The deputy commander of the forbidden army bowed to Prince Li Sheng.
"good."
Prince Li Sheng was also a little restless at the moment, he had no interest in going out of the palace, so he immediately returned to the East Palace with Su Yueyun, Su Qin and others.
The East Palace is where the prince lives, and there are usually a large number of imperial guards patrolling it. It is impossible for an assassin to assassinate with the help of a mission.
It was even said that no matter what country the missions were, they couldn't even enter the East Palace, let alone assassinate them.
After a while.
Inside the Hall of Eternal Life.
Tang Huang listened to the report of the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, but couldn't see any expression.
The Palace of Longevity is the palace of the Tang emperors, which means longevity and longevity.
"I know."
"Go down."
Tang Huang waved his hand and said softly.
"Follow the order."
The deputy commander of the forbidden army breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the crown prince was not dead and the assassins were executed, the matter seemed to be resolved satisfactorily.
However, there was such a big mistake in the palace that openly let assassins from other countries assassinate the prince here. As the deputy commander of the forbidden army guarding the Xuanwu Gate, he did not need to bear any responsibilities.
But now, Emperor Tang asked him to step down, apparently too lazy to pursue it.
Wait until the deputy commander of the forbidden army leaves completely.
Tang Huang's complexion gradually became gloomy.
"Emperor Ming, you really have the guts to really think that I dare not turn against him?"
A trace of anger appeared on Tang Huang's face.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry."
Eunuch Zhao in purple came out, bowed and said, "Assassination of the crown prince is a matter of great importance. At this moment in Chang'an City, there must be people with enough weight from Nanming to command the overall situation."
"Now that the assassination has failed, the news has not been leaked yet, why not take the opportunity to take down that person"
Eunuch Zhao said slowly.
"good."
Tang Huang was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
If he can thus capture a big man in Nanming, it may have a great impact on the border war between Tang and Nanming.
"Leave this matter to the old slave. In the entire Chang'an city, as long as the other party is still there, he will definitely not be able to escape."
When Eunuch Zhao said this, he paused, and continued: "Your Majesty is not curious, who made the move to save His Highness the Crown Prince?"
According to what the deputy commander of the forbidden army said, when he arrived, those assassins were burned to ashes and disappeared.
obviously.
Before he arrived, someone made a move.
The person who took the shot was able to quietly burn all the assassins to ashes, and his strength may have surpassed that of ordinary first-rank grand masters. Even if he is not as good as Eunuch Zhao, he is not far behind.
"curious?"
Tang Huang shook his head when he heard the words, and said lightly: "Everyone has secrets, and the child has grown up, so it is normal to have his own secrets."
"Why should I be curious?"
