Chapter 1164: Tune the tiger away from the mountain
The reason why Zhu Yunlu appeared in Li Chengqian’s palace.
That was entirely because she had a fight with her senior brother Lu Yongnian today.
Originally, Lu Yongnian gave up his assassination plan for Li Chengqian because he got information about someone.
But Zhu Yunlu couldn't swallow her breath because of Li Chengqian's "humiliation" to her outside the city.
So that night, she sneaked out while Lu Yongnian was not paying attention.
And she didn't expect that although there were many open sentinels in this huge palace, there were no hidden sentries.
So much so that she ran into Li Chengqian's palace without encountering any obstruction.
And at this moment, in the closet.
Due to the small space in the closet, Li Chengqian and Zhu Yunlu hid in it, so naturally they could not avoid some skin contact.
And had Zhu Yunlu ever had such close contact with a man?
Her face, which had just recovered, immediately began to turn red again.
"If you dare to do anything, do you believe that I will tell my senior brother to kill you?"
"So what if I tell you?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
"Besides, you came here on your own initiative today, and I didn't catch you!"
Just when Zhu Yunlu was still about to speak, Li Chengqian made a silent gesture, lowered his voice and said, "If you want to watch the show, don't talk from now on."
Taking advantage of yourself and not letting yourself speak?
For a moment, Zhu Yunlu was so angry that he wanted to bite the guy in front of him twice in order to relieve his hatred.
However, she was inevitably curious about what was happening outside.
She also wanted to see who could sneak into the palace without anyone noticing, with "skills as good as hers".
After taking several deep breaths, she finally calmed down her mood, and then she closed her eyes and looked outside.
When I looked out through the gap in the closet, I suddenly noticed a bright dagger sticking out through the crack in the door.
Dagger from bottom to top The admiral opened the wooden shutter that hung the window, and then the door was gently pushed open.
The next moment, a black shadow crawled in from outside, followed closely by five or six more black shadows following the man.
Among these people, some were holding long knives and some were holding long swords, and all of them were filled with murderous intent.
Even a fool can understand what these people are doing.
After thinking about it, Li Chengqian could never imagine it.
My own East Palace was so lively tonight.
First, Zhu Yunlu came to him and acted wildly with him, even putting a dagger on his neck.
Then there were these guys again. At this time, Li Chengqian really wanted to pull Duan Zhixuan out and kick him severely.
Is my head so worthless?
So many people have come to their East Palace and no one has noticed yet?
When Zhu Yunlu saw these people, she was also a little surprised.
Didn't you say you gave up on assassinating Li Chengqian? Why are there so many people coming?
Just when Zhu Yunlu was thinking about whether she should help those people subdue Li Chengqian or obey her senior brother's wishes and wait and see, the man next to her had already opened the cabinet door and rushed out.
Li Chengqian's figure was like the wind and his shots were like lightning. He rushed behind a man in black, raised his hand and slashed the back of the man's neck with a palm knife, knocking him to the ground.
When the other four people saw this person suddenly rushing out and the bed was empty, they should have figured out who this person was even if they thought with their toes.
One of them screamed strangely and slashed at Li Chengqian's head with his knife.
Li Chengqian suddenly turned to one side and avoided the opponent's knife.
Immediately afterwards, he took a step forward and approached the opponent, and at the same time, he punched the man on the chin from bottom to top.
With this punch, the man who weighed nearly 1,560 kilograms was knocked backwards, smashed the carved wooden table, and all the teeth in his mouth were punched into his stomach. The blood was dripping and it was unbearable to see. The person was on the spot.
Fainted.
Seeing this scene, the remaining three assassins were all shocked.
They had long heard of Li Chengqian's bravery, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.
At this time, when they saw it with their own eyes, they felt that using the word brave to describe the man in front of them was an underestimation of him.
He is fast, powerful, and his moves are fast and ruthless. He is clearly a monster...
But this hesitation gave Li Chengqian an opportunity.
Then I saw Li Chengqian ducking out of the way, and the three of them fell to the ground one after another.
At this time, more messy footsteps came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then the whole room was filled with lamps, balls and torches.
One of the torches almost hit Li Chengqian's face, and when he saw his face clearly, the man who brought the torch was also startled, and said quickly: "Your Highness, spare your life, I deserve death..."
But Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to him.
He looked directly at Duan Zhixuan, who was struggling to get out of the crowd, and said, "Do you want to explain to me what is going on?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Duan Zhixuan also broke into a cold sweat.
These assassins were able to enter Li Chengqian's palace unharmed. This was obviously a dereliction of duty on his part, and also a dereliction of duty on the part of all the palace guards.
Duan Zhixuan knelt down on one knee and said with an apologetic face: "I, if you don't protect me well, you deserve to die..."
Seeing this, Li Chengqian was not polite to him.
He asked directly: "Tell me, where is this place?"
"East...East Palace..."
Duan Zhixuan gritted his teeth and said.
Li Chengqian asked again: "Where is the East Palace?"
"Inside the palace." Duan Zhixuan even wanted to die.
"You also know that this is inside the palace?"
Li Chengqian tilted his head and said, "As the commander of the Forbidden Army, is this how you do things?"
I was disturbed by people in the middle of the night, and even asked people to rush in with a knife.
This is really unbearable for a good-tempered person like Li Chengqian.
At this moment, if it weren't for the too big movement just now, which caused the wound on his chest to tear, I could only continue to stand here and be unable to move forward.
He really wanted to give this guy a good kick to relieve his anger.
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan raised his head slightly, biting his lips tightly and not daring to speak.
To be honest, he was also very helpless today.
For some reason, a large number of Qinggong masters suddenly sneaked into the palace tonight.
He spent almost no time catching assassins everywhere, but those assassins just ran away and did not engage in direct combat with them at all.
And it was only after waking up Li Shimin and being reminded by Li Shimin that Duan Zhixuan realized that he had fallen into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain...
Of course, he was not the only one being teased tonight, but also Eunuch Zhou and his secret guards.
If this were not the case, even if Duan Zhixuan and his imperial troops were swept away, they would not be able to sneak into Li Chengqian's palace unharmed.
And looking at Duan Zhixuan's appearance and feeling the sharp pain coming from his chest, Li Chengqian really couldn't argue with him.
He stroked his chest, cheered up and asked, "Where is the little Chuzi?"
"Well……"
"Little Eunuch Zhou was knocked unconscious by someone using incense."
Duan Zhixuan said: "I haven't woken up yet, but don't worry, Your Highness, there is no fear for your life."
"That's good……"
Li Chengqian took a long breath, then waved his hand and said: "It's gone, it's all gone..."
