There are too many people who want to kill Long Chen, and they are all powerful figures, but they all failed in the end.

Wanjinlou hit every shot, but this time he failed. Li Chengdao was not angry, he felt it was normal.

As he was speaking, the eunuch Zhong Gui came in from outside, holding a box in his hand, and bowed: "Emperor, the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty sent a letter of nationality."

Li Chengdao's face darkened, and he had plans in his mind.

After demolishing the letter of the country, the empress's handwriting was beautiful, but the content was extremely angry, accusing Li Chengdao of breaking the agreement and hiring Wanjinlou to assassinate Long Chen.

"I have never hired Wanjinlou to reply to Iris. I don't know what she is talking about."

Li Chengdao was unwilling to write a reply in person, so he asked Zhong Gui to write it on his behalf.

"Slaves obey the order."

Zhong Gui received the letter of the country and withdrew from the imperial study room.

Xuan Jizi was a little worried and said, "Emperor, what if the empress also contacts Wanjinlou to assassinate the ministers in our court..."

Li Chengdao's face became even more ugly. Wanjin Tower could not kill Long Chen. It was not that Wanjin Tower could not do it, but that Long Chen was too weird.

If the empress buys the evil spirit from Wanjin Tower, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I ordered the prince in the palace to be allowed to go out for no reason, and ordered the ministers in the court to bring their guards when they go out."

Xuan Jizi worshiped: "I will convey it to you on your behalf."

After Xuan Jizi left, Li Chengdao called Yu Fuguo in again, asking the people from the Imperial City Department to guard the palace, and secretly checked the traces of Wanjin Tower.

....

There is a mountain twenty miles south of Jinling. The snow scenery in winter is very good. There is a Wangyou Pavilion on the top of the mountain. Next to the pavilion is a waterfall of dozens of meters. There are icicles hanging on both sides. The trees are frozen into ice sculptures, which is very beautiful.

Most literati and poets in Nanliang like to recite poems and write pairs in pavilions.

The fourth prince Li Wenji sat in a warm sedan chair, and four strong men carried them up the mountain, followed by more than a dozen imperial guards, each of which was a good player.

When we arrived at the Wangyou Pavilion on the top of the mountain, nine literati were waiting in the pavilion.

"The prince is coming down."

When the literati saw the sedan chair coming up, they all came forward to greet them.

The warm sedan fell, Li Wenji came out with a warm hand, wearing mink velvet on her body, and smiled and said, "Let you guys wait."

The literati smiled and said, "What's the point? Today's snow is just right. The prince gathers here to write poems. It will spread all over the world tomorrow and become a grand event in my Daliang literary world."

Li Wenji laughed and said, "Yes, writing poems to snow is an elegant thing for me scholars."

A literati wearing mink next to him smiled and said, "Your Highness, the prince, is rarely out of the palace now, and he must return with all his might today."

Li Wenji smiled bitterly and said, "The father said he was unsafe recently and was afraid of the assassins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so he was not allowed to come out."

A tall and extraordinary literati smiled and said, "What can you do in the little Eastern Zhou Dynasty have? It's just a eunuch, and it's not enough to be on the table after all."

A literati complimented: "Yes, Your Highness is the foundation of my Daliang, how could you be afraid of a eunuch?"

Li Wenji pretended to be modest, shook his head and smiled, "The second prince should not be underestimated, it is hard to say..."

Everyone laughed and said, "I only heard that the country was established by civil and military affairs, but I have never heard of that the country was established by merchants."

Li Jiye is in charge of business and Li Wenji is in charge of literati, so many literati are so praising it.

"Thank you, let's start."

The wine and vegetable stove was set up, and all the literati surrounded Li Wenji and sat down, and the guards looked around alertly.

"Who will come first?"

Li Wenji asked with a smile.

The tall literati first recited a poem, and others praised it.

"Brother Lingyun, it's your place."

A literati with a little mother-looking appearance and looks harmless, stepped forward and said, "I'm so ugly."

Li Wenji had never seen this person before and asked, "This person is born..."

When the guards next to him heard this, they immediately became alert and wanted to stop the literati, but it was too late.

Under the rice paper, a dagger suddenly appeared and pierced Li Wenji's throat.

Before Li Wenji could react, his throat had been cut open, and blood splashed out instantly. The guards were frightened and furious: "Assassin! Kill!"

The guards reacted and drew their swords to surround them, but the assassin did not entangle. They flipped back and jumped out of the Wangyou Pavilion, spread their arms, plunged into the waterfall, and disappeared into the ice water.

"Go down and search!"

The chief guard wanted to jump down, but hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare.

Li Wenji fell to the ground and was already dead.

The literati at Wangyou Pavilion was so scared that they were no longer looking.

"Brother Lehao, why... brought an assassin here?"

The literati named Lehao ​​was already scared.

Le Hao met this assassin "by chance". Seeing that the assassin was good at writing, he asked him to meet the fourth prince, but who knew it was an assassin.

When the guard slid around and slid to the bottom of the waterfall, the assassin had nowhere to be seen, so he had to climb up and carry the body of the fourth prince back to Jinling.

Imperial study room.

The eunuch Yu Fuguo hurried in and said, "Emperor, the fourth prince was assassinated by Wanjinlou Yu Wangyou Pavilion."

Li Chengdao was looking at Hu Feiyang's military newspaper. When he heard the news, he was stunned.

"Waste! Waste!"

Li Chengdao was so angry that he cursed, not knowing whether it was a waste of Yu Fuguo or Li Wenji.

"The fourth prince secretly went out through the side door, but the slave failed to find out in time, and he was guilty of death."

Yu Fuguo kowtowed and apologized.

Lee Seung-dao leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Call Master Xuanji."

Yu Fuguo immediately uploads the mysterious jizi.

After entering the imperial study room, Xuan Jizi bowed: "I... have seen the emperor."

He already knew that Li Wenji was assassinated and was very upset. He opened the Pandora box of Wanjinlou. Now that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty takes revenge, he also asks Wanjinlou to assassinate the princes and ministers of the Southern Liang.

"I will pay another 100,000 gold to buy the life of the Princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!"

Li Chengdao said viciously.

Xuan Jizi was helpless, but he still said, "Your Majesty, I suggest you stop here and..."

Crazy...

All the documents on the table fell to the ground, and Li Chengdao cursed: "I have three sons killed. You say stop! Why don't you tell Long Cheng'en to stop! Go! Take 100,000 gold! I want to kill all the princesses of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!"

Li Chengdao lost his mind at this time, and it was useless to persuade him. Xuan Jizi had to accept the order and retreat.

When he got outside, Xuan Jizi did not contact Wanjinlou, and he wanted to give Li Chengdao a cooling-off period.

When the anger passed, Li Chengdao would be rational.

....

Fengming Palace.

The empress took the letter of nationality sent by Li Chengdao and sneered: "Look, Li Chengdao has finally woken up."

Long Chen took the letter of the country and looked carefully. Li Chengdao said that both sides would stop and no longer entrust Wan Jinlou to assassinate each other.

"He first took the lead and asked Wan Jinlou to assassinate him, but in the end he asked to stop."

The empress was very happy. In this assassination duel, Long Chen was not injured, but a prince died in Nanliang. Nanliang was still at the loss.

"As an emperor, he should do what he is doing. Such despicable assassination should not have happened, he reaped the consequences."

Long Chen returned the letter of the country to the empress.

"Okay, the matter between Wanjin Tower has ended here. The messenger of Xixia is coming. You can prepare it."

"I heard that this Mojie is not easy to deal with, so don't be careless."

Long Chen bowed and said, "I received the order."
