Chapter 92: Your Highness, something bad has happened!

"Xiang Yu, are you okay?"

Li Chengze asked Xiang Yu beside him.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your peace of mind. I am fine." Xiang Yu bowed and said, "A mere old eunuch cannot do anything to me."

As he spoke, Xiang Yu's face was full of confidence.

However, Li Chengze also knew that Xiang Yu would definitely not lie, so he didn't say anything more.

Then, he nodded to Xiang Yu and the others and said, "You have worked hard tonight, go and rest first."

Everyone said in unison: "It's not hard."

"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Highness, no matter what!"

Li Chengze smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll remember that."

"Let's all go and rest first."

At this point, everyone stopped refusing and first bowed to Li Chengze, and then left.

When everyone started to go back to their rooms to rest, Li Chengze said to Jia Xu beside him:
"Wenhe, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Clean up the traces around here."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Leave it to me."

Then Jia Xu turned and left.

Li Chengze was not idle either. He quickly returned to the room and took out the key from his arms.

The key in front of him, just like the one he remembered, was not from this world.

As long as he had this thing, when Fan Xian came to Beijing in the future, he would find an opportunity to steal the sniper rifle from his box.

By then, haha...

Except for the Grand Master, anyone who wants can be killed within a few kilometers.

correct.

Li Chengze suddenly thought of something.

He remembered that in the original novel, the box that Fan Xian carried contained only a Bamlet sniper rifle but no bullets.

It seems that the bullet is left at the bottom of the lake in Taiping Villa.

Li Chengze stroked his chin repeatedly and thought: "Now that we have the key, we must get the Bamlet sniper rifle."

"So, now all we need is bullets."

"And it seems that besides bullets, there are other things at the bottom of the lake in Taiping Villa."

"Well... I still have to find an opportunity to go to the bottom of Taiping Villa Lake and take a look. Maybe I will find something unexpected."

"But it's definitely not possible now."

"After all, the palace will definitely be very lively tonight."

Thinking of this, Li Chengze put away the key, took off his coat, and lay directly on the bed.

It's getting late now, and it's time to go to bed.

We’ll talk about other things later.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Imperial Palace, inner courtyard.

Due to the assassination last night, the number of guards in the entire palace has increased several times, and they have begun patrolling carefully.

However, the guards worked for most of the night but still could not find any trace of the assassin.

Many people began to wonder whether there was an assassin in the palace.

A hall in the imperial palace.

Emperor Qing, dressed in a plain robe, stood upright in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking around with a gloomy face.

In front of him, Hong Siyang hunched over and lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty, I have just checked and no one else in the palace is injured."

"It's just... I still don't know where this person came from."

Emperor Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Are you saying that the assassin who came this time is not just one person?"

Hong Siyang nodded and said, "Yes, that's true."

"Because a young man, in the name of a challenge, pestered this old slave to a duel in the palace." "But two more assassins appeared at the Guangxin Palace and also fought with Commander Yan."

When Emperor Qing heard this, he immediately turned to look at him, a sneer appeared on his face, and said:
"You mean, besides you fighting with the assassin last night, Yan Xiaoyi also encountered an assassin?"

Hong Siyang nodded awkwardly and said, "No...that's right, that's it."

"Hehe..." Emperor Qing suddenly laughed, and his laugh was particularly cold.

"You two are both masters above the ninth rank, but you didn't even leave behind an assassin?"

"You disappoint me too much!"

"From now on, how can I trust you with the safety of the entire palace?"

Hong Siyang immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant deserves to die."

"Those assassins should still be in Kyoto City. As long as we strictly check the city gates tomorrow, we will definitely be able to catch them."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "I don't want to hear the process, I only want to hear the result."

"I will only give you three days for this matter. If you still don't have a satisfactory answer after three days, you know the consequences."

Hong Siyang nodded and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."

Then, Hong Siyang turned and left.

After Hong Siyang left, Emperor Qing walked slowly to the door of the hall, looked at the dark night sky, and fell into deep thought.

"Will it be one of them?"

"To be able to escape from the hands of a ninth-rank master, his strength must be high, not low. From this point of view, he can only be a great master."

"But……"

When Emperor Qing thought of this, he shook his head and discarded the idea.

After all, there was more than one person who sneaked into the palace yesterday.

But they are the lowest three people.

This shows that he is definitely not a grandmaster.

Moreover, last night, he did not sense any aura of a grandmaster fighting.

Since he is not a grandmaster, the person who comes is interesting.

I just don't know what their purpose is in sneaking into the palace this time.

……

The East Palace, outside a courtyard.

After breakfast, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, like every day, leisurely lay in the rattan chair, flipping through the vernacular novel in his hand.

Originally, he should have been very angry and irritated during the time of house arrest.

After all, I can’t go out every day and can only stay in the East Palace.

However, recently, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that not going out would be a good choice.

I don’t have to think about anything every day. All I need to do is enjoy the breeze, bask in the sun, and read novels and stories. Life is very fulfilling.

It would be great if every day could be like this in the future.

However, before Li Chengqian finished reading the script in his hand, a young eunuch walked towards him quickly.

"Your Highness, something happened again."

The young eunuch walked up to Li Chengqian and spoke hurriedly.

Li Chengqian put away the script in his hand and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"Can't you see I'm busy?"

"You're saying something so discouraging so early in the morning!"

The young eunuch said, "Your Highness, it is like this."

"According to reliable information, an assassin entered the palace last night to assassinate me."

"What!" Li Chengqian was shocked. He immediately put down the script in his hand, stood up from his chair, and asked:

"Is the news reliable?"

"Are those people so bold as to enter the palace and assassinate me?"

"Is anyone dead?"
