The Emperor’s Favorite Empress

Chapter 43: Dark night assassination

Views:

Seeing that everyone is so busy, it naturally wants to do something to help.

So, after an hour of acting cute and coquettish, Emperor Shitian agreed to let it distribute buns to the children.

However, looking at the bulging belly of a certain animal, it can be estimated that it has eaten a lot itself.

The plague in Xuzhou has been resolved, and the remaining cleanup work has been handed over to Xuzhou Lord Liu Minsheng.

In just two days, the reputation of the Beast Queen spread rapidly throughout Xuzhou and even Tianze Kingdom at lightning speed.

Although Emperor Shi Tian did not announce the fact that Ling'er cured the plague and saved his life, he sent people to spread the word indirectly: The reason why the plague in Xuzhou was successfully resolved this time was all because of the protection of the divine beast and the blessing of heaven.

Those who were originally dissatisfied with the beast or had a lucky mentality have completely disappeared after this incident.

The queen of a certain beast not only won the support of the people, but also indirectly became one of the pillars of the Tianze Kingdom.

Emperor Shitian sent heavy troops to guard Xuzhou’s most important water source to prevent tragedy from happening again.

After this incident, Xuzhou suffered heavy losses, so an order was issued to reduce taxes for that year.

When this order was issued, the people cheered and the officials praised it.

Emperor Shi Tian’s wisdom is indeed well-deserved.

That night, the magnificent dragon chariot was moving quickly on the flat official road.

Inside the carriage, Dugu Yingcheng and Di Shitian sat opposite each other.

As for the certain beast, it had already fallen asleep on Emperor Shi Tian's legs.

The little head was resting on Di Shitian's palm, and the tender belly was covered by the hem of the clothes embroidered with dragon claws. It was so comfortable.

"Filming City, what do you think about what happened in Xuzhou?" The narrow and long phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and the center of the eyebrows seemed flat, but it contained a ball of ink that could not be dissolved.

The plague in Xuzhou was severe, he personally went there to investigate the poisoning, and then the Cangsheng Gate appeared. This series of events seemed like a coincidence, but in fact, someone was planning it behind the scenes.

If Jun Liufeng had not suddenly appeared, he would have thought that this was done by the Cangsheng Sect.

"I think there are two possibilities."

"Tell me."

Dugu Yingcheng nodded slightly, then lowered his voice and said, "First, this matter was deliberately instigated by someone with ulterior motives. He knew very well that the Cangsheng Sect and the King were not on good terms, so he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then reap the benefits; second, this matter was done by Jun Liufeng. He deliberately created the plague to lure the King to appear, and then find an opportunity... to assassinate him. The reason why he came to treat the plague later was just a cover. The real purpose was to assassinate the King and to confuse our thinking. If he succeeds, he will make a profit. If he fails, it will not be easy for us to suspect him."

"So, which one is more likely?"

"The former!" He blurted out without thinking.

Emperor Shi Tian nodded immediately.

That’s right, no matter how one looks at this matter, the latter possibility is more likely.

But that's where the problem lies. The person they are targeting is Jun Liufeng.

Although Jun Liufeng looks unruly and cannot be called a gentleman on the surface, he never attacks innocent people.

The restrictions on the Cangsheng Sect are also extremely strict, so that sect is both good and evil.

He hated Emperor Shi Tian and did not hide it. Every time he fought with him, although it was not fair and aboveboard, he never used despicable means, let alone took advantage of the unarmed people.

Although he is an opponent, he is an opponent that Di Shitian likes.

"Has 'Old Ghost' made any moves recently?" Di Shitian leaned back, leaned on the cushion, and closed his eyes slightly sleepily.

Dugu Yingcheng shook his head helplessly, "No, Wang An hasn't made any moves recently. Even the one in the palace has been following the king's orders and reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors."

"Go to sleep. I don't think you'll have a peaceful night..."

The person behind the scenes carefully planned the plague, and then lured the snake out of its hole and sowed discord.

He put so much thought into this, but Ling'er's appearance disrupted the overall situation.

The plague was lifted, Jun Liufeng was injured, and the rumors that were originally unfavorable to Tianze were all broken because of Ling'er's trip to Xuzhou.

To describe the people behind the scenes as "stealing a chicken but losing the rice" is an exaggeration.

At this moment, the person behind the scenes must be unable to sit still...

"kindness."

Dugu Yingcheng followed suit and also closed his eyes to cultivate...

Time passed slowly, the night was quiet and peaceful, and only the rustling sound of the wind could be heard.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky. Although it is not supported by the stars, it is still noble enough for people to look up to it.

Suddenly, a black cloud came from somewhere and gradually obscured the moonlight.

The earth suddenly became dark.

It was like being torn apart and swallowed in an instant by the bloody mouth of a devil.

Silence was like a terror maker, making the surroundings gloomy.

Inside the dragon chariot, Emperor Shi Tian closed his eyes, as if he was dozing off, with steady breathing and leisurely silence, perfectly depicting the charm of a man who speaks little.

Looking down, a small snow-white thing was lying on the red-gold dragon robe. Suddenly, it moved slightly a few times, and seemed to be about to wake up.

The wind is howling.

The air current suddenly changed, and the flock of birds scattered in fright.

In the distance, there was the sound of horse hooves.

The next moment, the beast suddenly opened its eyes.

The purple light was dazzling and alert, not as sleepy as before.

His pointed ears twitched a few times, and then he rolled over and stood up.

Oh no, there's murderous intent!

The horses' hooves were heavy, but their breathing was almost nonexistent, indicating that the people coming were trained killers. The horses' hooves were uneven, so there should be about thirty of them.

Listening training is a compulsory course for agents. When he was in the training camp, he could accurately determine the coordinates of a mosquito flying within ten meters.

In such a quiet late night, no one else was driving on the official road except Emperor Shi Tian's dragon chariot.

Obviously, this was directed at him.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak" Wake up quickly, there is murderous intent!

Just as a certain beast was about to open its mouth to give a reminder, it was pressed into its arms by a large hand coming towards it.

When Zi raised his eyes, he saw Di Shitian making a gesture to keep quiet.

What!

It turned out that he had also noticed it, causing the Yin family to worry for nothing.

Seeing this, the beast dropped its guard and yawned lazily.

I don’t know why, but I always have an inexplicable sense of security around this man.

It seems that as long as he is around, there will be no danger.

"Whoa!"

With a sound, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Dust was flying, the earth was shaking, and even the leaves were showing signs of falling.

The air suddenly became solemn, as if a storm was about to come. (To be continued)
