Xiao Xixi crouched behind the grass and saw a group of people wearing black clothes and covering their faces. Judging from their figures, they should all be men.
One of them shook his fist at the remaining dozen people: "Today we must help Dayin and take the life of the Dog Emperor of Chu!"
Xiao Xixi: "..." Did she meet a traitor who wanted to kill the emperor?
As for Dayin who was mentioned by the people in black, Xiao Xixi looked through the memory of the original owner. It seemed that it was a dynasty that was driven away from the capital by the first emperor of Da Chu, Hongwen Emperor, thirty years ago?
Xiao Xixi thought about it carefully. The first emperor of Dachu, Emperor Hongwen, occupied the capital of Dayin. After the second emperor, Emperor Hongwu, ascended the throne, he wiped out the remaining members of the Dayin dynasty who had fled to the south.
This was already twenty-three years ago, and the original owner had not yet been born at that time.
I have to say, these people are really persistent.
Xiao Xixi made an assessment and confirmed that she couldn't deal with so many men in black at the same time even with her increased force level.
I can only hide and make no sound.
When the man in black walked away, Xiao Xixi quickly returned to the red-maned horse. Seeing that it was full and shaking its head obediently, she jumped on the horse.
Although she was not from here, she could not just watch the man in black kill Emperor Honghui.
Emperor Honghui in the book did not die so early, but Xiao Xixi did not dare to take risks. What if the plot changes?
There was chaos now, and she didn't think Leng Moran could successfully ascend to the throne.
Xiao Xixi rode a horse and galloped all the way. She wanted to rush back as soon as possible to prevent the man in black from assassinating Emperor Honghui.
Unexpectedly, the road ahead was blocked by a group of people.
Not the accomplices of the men in black, but the female relatives of Da Chu.
The person in the center is Lu Jiaojiao, who is looking askance at Xiao Xixi from a distance. There are also several ladies or ladies riding on horses beside Lu Jiaojiao, blocking Xiao Xixi's way forward.
Xiao Xixi didn't want to hurt anyone, so she stopped her horse.
"Princess Yan, why don't you see your prey?" Lu Jiaojiao asked provocatively.
Xiao Xixi felt bored and didn't want to talk nonsense with Lu Jiaojiao at this time, so she just uttered two words coldly: "Get out of the way."
Lu Jiaojiao didn't seem to care about Xiao Xixi's rudeness, and still said with a sneer in her tone: "Isn't it because Princess Yan's riding and shooting skills have declined, so she doesn't have any prey?"
Lu Jiaojiao seemed to have thought of something and opened her mouth in surprise: "Or is it because Princess Yan became the most hunted among the noble ladies three years ago because of cheating?"
Time was passing, and thinking that if Emperor Honghui was delayed for a moment longer, he would be in more danger, Xiao Xixi's green-white fingers clenched the reins tightly, and her knuckles turned pale. She said with a dark face and a cold tone: "I say it for the last time, get out of the way."
Lu Jiaojiao didn't take it seriously. Since there were many people around, she didn't think Xiao Xixi dared to do anything to her in public.
Xiao Xixi flicked her riding whip, and the red-maned horse rushed towards the crowd blocking the front, scaring the other female family members into running away.
Lu Jiaojiao was also startled. She had no idea that Xiao Xixi would really dare to charge towards her. She quickly dodged and it wasn't until she came to her senses that she yelled at Xiao Xixi, who couldn't see her back at all.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and no one stopped her.
Seeing Leng Moran's figure from a distance, Xiao Xixi quickly reined in her horse, jumped off the horse, ran towards Leng Moran, and flew to his side.
Leng Moran subconsciously supported her and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xixi glanced around, then stood on tiptoes and whispered into his ear about the man in black.
Leng Moran kept his face calm, raised his hand and patted her arm, comforting her softly: "It's okay, I am with you in everything."
After that, he asked Feng Yan to take Xiao Xixi to find Jiyue, while he quickly led people to Emperor Honghui's side.
…
In the resting area, Fu Qingjiao was peeling the amethyst grapes one by one with her delicate hands, and then feeding them to Emperor Honghui's mouth with her own hands.
Suddenly, a black shadow came out of nowhere and stabbed towards Emperor Honghui with a sharp sword in his hand.
Because the distance was too close, the surrounding guards had no time to react.
Fu Qingjiao stared at the shining sword, her mind going blank for a moment.
After she reacted, she immediately stood in front of Emperor Honghui.
Just when the sharp sword was about to pierce Fu Qingjiao's flesh, she slowly closed her eyes, but heard the sound of the weapon falling to the ground.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the man in black in front of him covering his bloody arm, and the only eyes exposed were full of pain.
The man in black who committed the assassination was quickly restrained by the guards.
But in an instant, more than a dozen men in black came from all directions.
Emperor Honghui had come to his senses and blocked his beloved concubine behind him.
Fu Qingjiao was not moved at all at this moment, and was more thinking about it.
If she read correctly, it was Leng Moran who hurt the man in black just now.
In other words, he still cares about her, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to save her at this critical moment!
A dozen men in black were quickly subdued by the men brought by Leng Moran.
Leng Moran bowed to Emperor Honghui and said: "Your Majesty, all the assassins have been captured."
He glanced at Fu Qingjiao, and when he heard her self-deceptive mental activities, he looked away unhappily.
Emperor Hong Hui raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and ordered: "Zhou Quan, take someone to interrogate the identity of the assassin."
After this happened, Emperor Honghui was not in the mood to reward his hunting officials anymore, so he returned to the resting hall to wait for the outcome of the interrogation.
Emperor Honghui took Leng Moran back with him and asked him why he thought of bringing someone to rescue him in time.
Leng Moran didn't want Emperor Honghui to know that he had discovered the assassin a long time ago, so he placed the credit on Xiao Xixi.
Emperor Honghui nodded after hearing this. He recognized his niece-in-law a little more and decided to reward her well after returning to Beijing.
Zhou Quan quickly interrogated and reported the results to Emperor Honghui.
Those assassins were indeed stubborn and unwilling to tell, so Zhou Quan sent people to separate them for interrogation. Sure enough, one of them couldn't stand the torture and confessed that they were from Dayin.
He also said that Dayin was destined to return by fate, and he could restore the country by killing Emperor Honghui.
Follow the instructions carefully and get more information from the assassin.
The assassin said without hesitation that there were many of their people in the south and that the Emperor of Chu was in danger.
After speaking, he realized that he had been tricked by Zhou Quan. The assassin was worried that he would become a stumbling block to the restoration of the country, so he chose to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Emperor Honghui felt heavy when he heard this.
It has been thirty-five years since the Great Chu State was established in Zuo, but I didn’t expect that these people still wouldn’t give up.
Since he came to power, he has always been generous to the people, so why do so many people want to rebel against him?
Emperor Honghui said to Leng Moran who was standing aside: "Mo'er, I want you to share my worries."
Emperor Honghui had always been aware of his nephew's abilities, but it was a pity that Leng Moran couldn't see it before.
After Leng Moran regained his sight, Emperor Honghui began to reuse him.
Therefore, Leng Moran was not surprised when he heard Emperor Hong Hui say such words, and guessed that it was probably related to the assassin's matter.
"Your Majesty, please do as you wish."
Emperor Honghui stood up, walked to Leng Moran, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said sincerely: "Go to the people and see what kind of emperor I am in the hearts of the people."
Emperor Honghui's intention was not only to let Leng Moran clean up the remnants of Dayin, but also wanted Leng Moran to be his eyes and ears to help him figure out the true situation among the people.
