In the sixth year of the First Emperor's reign, the eldest son Fusu married Li Si's daughter, and Xianyang City became bustling with excitement.
Imperial soldiers lined up from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to the Eldest Young Master's Mansion. Fusu rode a red-blooded horse and walked slowly, with a solemn face, gentle and elegant, and a graceful demeanor.
The streets we passed along the way were bustling with people. The people were all vying to get a good look at the eldest son of the empire. However, blocked by the soldiers, they could only crowd around and watch from a distance.
At dusk, the long red clouds added an extra layer of beauty to the well-dressed bride. After saying goodbye to her parents, Li's daughter set out on the road to the eldest son's mansion. She secretly looked at her husband, feeling very happy.
Mr. Fusu was undoubtedly the perfect candidate for a young girl's love. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes turned back to look at her new clothes, and her red lips clenched slightly.
The eldest son of the empire, he is more handsome in real life than in the rumors. I heard that he took the initiative to ask His Majesty the Emperor for a marriage to him. He must be a husband worthy of entrusting him with his life...
Countless thoughts were running through the daughter's mind at this time, most of which were shyness, pride, longing, and little deer running around.
However, she forgot that before she set off, her mother was smiling with tears in her eyes, but her father didn't say much.
…
A grand banquet had already been held in the eldest son's mansion, guests were arriving in droves, and all the servants in the mansion were so busy that they couldn't even touch the floor.
Fusu was in his early twenties and studied at the Central Academy. Naturally, his classmates at the same time were also on the wedding invitation list. These young people have their own special area.
When Ji Bu saw Ying Bu, his peach blossom eyes couldn't help but look up.
Yingbu also caught a glimpse of him, but he just snorted heavily and said nothing more.
Chen Ping sat next to Ji Bu and looked around at the grand occasion of the wedding. Just talking about the fine wine prepared here, the mellow aroma was enough to make people tipsy even before the bottles were opened.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Life is so beautiful. I wonder if I will be able to live up to what I have today when I get married."
Ji Bu laughed immediately when he heard this, "Haha, your eldest brother is already worried. He said he was afraid that you would not be able to marry a good daughter because of your talent, and he asked me to urge you."
"This, brother is really..."
In this era, Chen Ping is already twenty-three years old and has no signs of finding a partner, which of course makes his brother Chen Bo worried.
An elder brother is like a father, Chen Ping could only smile bitterly.
While he was talking relaxedly here, a row of servants filed in carrying neatly decorated food tables.
Chen Ping heard the footsteps and looked over casually.
As a result, when they looked at each other, their eyes met——
Wow~
All six of the servants in this queue threw down their food tables, raised their hands and fired a series of arrows from their sleeves, heading straight for Chen Ping's vital points.
Ji Bu slapped Chen Ping to the side with a palm in time, kicked the table away, and blocked the flying short arrows.
The assassination operation of the six killers was not over yet. While Ji Bu was rescuing people, they had already drawn their daggers. Four people surrounded Ji Bu and two people rushed towards Chen Ping.
When attending the wedding banquet, Ji Bu did not bring a sword, so he could only use what he had to fight the enemy.
I saw him picking up a wine bottle and pouring it down on one person. Then the wine bottle turned and Ding Ding blocked the dagger.
His physical skills are superb and his reactions are extremely quick. He can defeat four enemies within a short distance.
After Chen Ping was slapped away by Ji Bu, he faced the two assassins who were chasing him. The black light flowing from the dagger made him feel like he was dead.
He had some martial arts skills, but his reaction was far worse than Ji Bu's. He rolled out on the ground in a panic, and the sound of the dagger tearing the air could be clearly heard in his ears.
Bang ~
"Ah~"
An assassin screamed, and the dagger he was about to stab at Chen Ping fell to the ground, and he was knocked out by the flying table.
Then there was a click, and he was hit against a pillar in the hall. The majestic force contained in the table directly cracked his bones and he fell to the ground paralyzed.
Yingbu flew over, knowing that it was best not to have any contact with the assassin's weapons, so he hit the assassin's head with his heavy boots.
Bang ~
There was a heavy landing sound, but Yingbu had no mercy. He stepped on it again and heard a bone crack.
The two people who assassinated Chen Ping had already taken in more air than out. Ji Bu also successfully eliminated the four assassins and sealed all their acupoints in place.
"Chen Ping, are you okay?"
"Ha~ah, I'm fine. Fortunately, I have you two, otherwise..."
Chen Ping gasped, terrified. He never thought that assassins would sneak into the wedding of the eldest son of the empire, and the target was still himself. Did he have anything worthy of being remembered?
What happened here quickly alarmed the entire Young Master's residence, and the ongoing wedding was forced to temporarily stop.
Fusu, wearing the groom's official clothes, hurried over, followed by a group of people. He ran along and asked: "What is going on? No one was injured, right?"
As the parties involved, Chen Ping, Ji Bu and Ying Bu fully recounted the situation at that time.
Of the six assassins, the two who were killed by Yingbu died completely in a short period of time. The four who had their acupoints sealed by Jibu were captured and prepared for rigorous interrogation.
When Fusu heard that the assassin's target was Chen Ping, his face darkened and his eyebrows furrowed, "Ji Bu, Ying Bu, you two take Chen Ping to rest first and stay vigilant."
"Yes, eldest son."
"Seal the mansion, inspect every servant, and re-inspect all drinks and food."
"yes."
"As for these assassins, they will be sent to Tingwei's mansion. Please be sure to find out their origins and purpose, Mr. Tingwei."
"Yes, eldest son."
After giving instructions, Fusu looked at the mess at the scene and sighed deeply.
This wedding was a mess.
…
After the assassination, Fusu's wedding ended hastily, and Li's daughter actually married into the young master's house. Unfortunately, her appearance never looked good.
At the wedding of the eldest son Fusu, an assassin unexpectedly appeared, and the assassin was not Fusu, but a student from the Central College. This incident spread quickly in Xianyang and triggered countless discussions.
Who is Chen Ping?
He is just an outstanding student of the Central Academy. There are not many people like him in the Empire, but there are definitely many. Wang Wu, Yang Xi, and Zhao Ying stood out in the first national examination, and now they are all in the Empire.
Sir, I hold an important position.
Who was Chen Ping? Why was he assassinated?
Weird things happened one after another, and the four assassins who were sent to the Tingwei Mansion for severe interrogation eventually died. The only message they revealed before their death was one sentence, "Avenge the Prince of Qi."
Prince Tian Sheng of Qi was the most determined anti-Qin faction in Qi State. During the decisive battle between Qin State and the Alliance of Three Kingdoms, Tian Sheng died suddenly. It is said that he died at the hands of his own father. After Tian Sheng's death, Qi State's attitude towards resisting Qin was ambiguous.
, triggered the avalanche of the decisive battle, and Qin State swept the Three Kingdoms Alliance and established victory.
There is absolutely no connection between avenging Prince Qi and assassinating Chen Ping. The only connection is with Fu Nian, the dean of the Central Academy.
After all, he had planned the drastic changes in Qi State. And the relationship between Chen Ping, a student of the Central Academy, and Fu Nian...
