Li Huan couldn't help but frowned when he saw this, and then he sighed softly at Lin Pingzhi and others: "It's too late!"
After listening to Li Huan's words, Lin Pingzhi and others still didn't understand what Li Huan meant. They just looked at the assassins warily.
Suddenly, black blood was seen flowing from the corners of the mouths of these assassins. The bodies of those who were laughing wildly softened and fell directly in front of them.
When seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi and others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, obviously they did not expect such a result.
You must know that Li Huan had previously sealed the acupuncture points of these people, and they also removed these people's jaws immediately to prevent these people from committing suicide by biting open the poison sacs.
It can be said that they took their defense to the extreme, but they did not expect that these assassins would still die of poison in front of them.
Even if these assassins were silenced by someone lurking in the dark, they would not be as surprised as they are now.
Lin Pingzhi looked at the corpses lying on the ground with some astonishment, and suddenly said as if he had reacted: "Could it be that they had already taken poison beforehand?"
With such doubts, Lin Ping subconsciously looked at Li Huan.
Li Huan didn't feel anything was wrong when he saw this scene. These people made it clear that they were already determined to die before they assassinated him, and they never thought about surviving.
In other words, the people behind the arrangements for these assassins had no intention of keeping these assassins alive.
Regardless of whether these assassins can successfully assassinate, the assassins who have taken poison in advance will inevitably die one by one when the time is up. In this case, even if the assassination fails, it is useless to capture the survivors.
After glancing at Lin Pingzhi, Li Huan said calmly: "What do you think?"
Lin Pingzhi couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "What a bunch of lunatics. Who are they? They are so crazy that they arranged for these desperadoes to assassinate you!"
Li Huan said very calmly: "This is just the beginning, just an assassination. The crazier ones are to come."
Li Huan knew better than anyone that as he implemented each of his reform methods, those whose interests were harmed would never remain indifferent.
Assassinations like this will probably become commonplace. As for more crazy things, it is not impossible. You must know that in order to prevent accidents, the emperor and he are ready to suppress local unrest at any time.
Compared with local unrest, mere assassinations can only be regarded as appetizers.
This assassination came to an end in a very short period of time, and many people around him did not even react. They only saw a group of people rushing towards Li Huan, and he was dead in the blink of an eye.
"Ah, he killed someone..."
Those who were slow to react could not help but scream in horror when they saw the corpses on the ground.
Li Huan got on his horse, and Lin Pingzhi glanced at the corpses on the ground, leaving a few guards in royal robes to order: "Order people to take these people's corpses back and see if any clues can be found from these corpses."
Although Lin Pingzhi has little hope of repaying this, after all, since the man in the dark dares to send these desperadoes here, then the other party must be prepared, and it is absolutely impossible for Jin Yiwei to find out anything about the identities of these people.
.
Following Li Huan's figure, a group of royal guards became even more cautious this time, guarding Li Huan away.
Just as Li Huan and others were gradually moving away from Yong'an Street, two figures were sitting in a teahouse about a hundred feet away from Li Huan's assassination.
The two of them looked like two businessmen, sitting there talking and laughing calmly, making it impossible to see anything wrong.
But if someone is staring at the two of them in particular, then they will find that their eyes are looking out the window from time to time, as if there is something outside the window that can attract their attention.
The distance of a hundred feet is neither too close nor too far. If your eyesight is not bad, you can still see what is happening a hundred feet away.
Therefore, the situation of Li Huan's assassination fell into the eyes of these two people.
When the two saw the group of assassins rushing out, they could clearly see the excitement flashing in their eyes. Under their wide sleeves, their hands could not help but clenched into fists.
However, when the two of them saw that the team of assassins did not succeed in the assassination but died one by one, the excitement in their eyes disappeared and was replaced by a kind of disappointment.
Especially when Li Huan, guarded by Lin Pingzhi and other royal guards, rode away from the tea house, leaving only their backs, the two of them looked at each other and hurried downstairs.
Naturally, such a big news that Li Huan was assassinated in the street could not be concealed. Not to mention how many eyes in the capital were staring at Li Huan, it was the assassination of the commander of the Jinyi Guards in the street. It was such a big thing to be a noble person in the dynasty. There were so many people present.
It can be said that the people witnessed the assassination with their own eyes. Before Li Huan returned to the Champion House, the news had already spread.
In the imperial city
Zhu Houzhao was reviewing memorials in the imperial study room when he suddenly saw a figure walking over in a hurry.
It can be said that except for a few people such as Li Huan, Wang Yangming, and Ma Yongcheng, there was no one else who could enter the imperial study without his permission.
And there must be a sufficient reason, otherwise even Li Huan and the others would not be able to break into the imperial study.
Zhu Houzhao was alarmed. He looked up and saw that the person coming was none other than Ma Yongcheng, the admiral in charge of Dongchang affairs.
When he saw Ma Yongcheng, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little bad in his heart.
Even Zhu Houzhao himself didn't believe that Ma Yongcheng could enter the imperial study directly without notification. If something important had not happened, even Zhu Houzhao himself would not believe it.
Ma Yongcheng, who walked into the imperial study, knelt down in front of the emperor with a bang, and said with a somewhat solemn look on his face: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that the champion Hou was assassinated on the street!"
"What!"
Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, stood up suddenly after hearing Ma Yongcheng's words, and even almost knocked over the royal table in front of him because he was so excited.
There was a look of astonishment and disbelief on his face, which showed the emperor's shock. However, the emperor soon reacted and stared at Ma Yongcheng: "Is Li Qing injured?"
Although he is very confident about Li Huan's strength, after all, Zhu Houzhao also knows that Li Huan is very strong in cultivation. Looking at the world, there is really no one who can threaten Li Huan's life and safety. But he doesn't know what the outcome will be. After all, he is still in his heart.
Quite worried.
After all, although Li Huan's cultivation level is high, no one can guarantee an assassination. If something unexpected happens and Li Huan loses his life, it is not impossible.
Ma Yongcheng said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even though those assassins were the champion's opponents, they all lost their lives before they even rushed to the champion. It can be said that the champion is safe and sound. I'm afraid they have all returned home by now!"
Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, but soon stared at Ma Yongcheng and said: "Who on earth has such courage, and dares to assassinate important ministers of the imperial court in broad daylight in the capital, how can they still see it in their eyes?"
There is the king’s law, but do I still have it?”
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao turned to Ma Yongcheng and said, "Tell me, who assassinated Li Qing?"
Being stared at by the emperor, Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. How did he know who assassinated Li Huan?
All those assassins died cleanly. Even if they wanted to trace it, there were no clues. Let alone his Dongchang, I am afraid that even Jin Yiwei who was going crazy at this moment would not be able to know who assassinated Li Huan.
.
"My slave... I am incompetent. I really don't know who assassinated the champion!"
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Go and ask someone to check for me. I don't believe that these people really appeared out of thin air."
Feeling the emperor's anger, Ma Yongcheng quickly accepted the order and left.
In the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table with his palm, and then he saw that the table shattered to the ground with a crash.
"Okay, okay, you really rebelled against them. They are going to directly harm Li Qing!"
Qiu Ju and Gao Feng, who were waiting on the side, shrank their necks subconsciously, their eyes full of shock and fear.
In fact, the emperor's slap smashed an imperial table made of yellow pear wood to pieces. This scene was too horrifying.
They knew that the emperor had practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, a skill that could be called body training, but how could those around him not know how powerful the emperor was.
They would never believe that the emperor could smash such a familiar table with one slap.
But the fact now is that an extremely strong desk was shattered into pieces. When did the emperor's strength change so much? Why didn't they notice it at all?
As if he didn't notice the expressions of Gao Feng and Qiu Ju, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
To be honest, not only Li Huan knew who sent the assassin to kill Li Huan, but the emperor could also guess it.
Except for those whose own interests were harmed because of Li Huan's tax reform, who else would dare to take such a huge risk and send assassins to kill important court officials like Li Huan.
It's just that the world is too big, and Li Huan's tax reform has offended too many people. Even Li Huan himself doesn't know who sent the people to assassinate him.
This was also the reason why Li Huan didn't even have the intention of asking Lin Pingzhi to investigate. There were really too many suspects, and even if he went to investigate, there would be no results.
Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Zhu Houzhao, who was fuming, glanced at Gao Feng, who was hunching his neck and not daring to take a breath. Qiu Ju and the other two said: "Pass on my decree, show me, I want to go to the champion prince's mansion."
After hearing this, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the emperor, and instinctively admonished: "Your Majesty, you can't do that!"
There was no reason why Gao Feng and Qiu Ju were not nervous. Someone dared to assassinate Li Huan in broad daylight, which clearly shows the madness of the people behind the scenes. If the other party dared to assassinate the emperor, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju would not be surprised.
So when I heard that the emperor wanted to leave the palace and go to the palace of the champion prince, I instinctively started to admonish the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
Soon the Emperor Luanjia left the imperial city and rushed to the palace of Li Huan, the champion prince.
Champion House
When Li Huan walked into the Hou Mansion, he saw Zhu Lin, who had received the news, being greeted in the hall surrounded by several maids.
Zhu Lin, who had a graceful temperament and looked like an orchid in an empty valley, stepped forward and took the cloak from Li Huan's hand. She said with a bit of surprise on her face: "Why did my husband return home so early today!"
Li Huan took the cup of tea from Zhu Lin, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, come back early so that you can spend some time with me and my mother!"
While speaking, Li Huan glanced at Zhu Lin and said, "Where is my mother?"
Hearing this, Zhu Lin showed a slight smile on her face and said, "Mother is resting in the inner courtyard right now..."
While he was talking, he heard a burst of footsteps outside, and then a familiar voice said: "Huan'er, I heard that someone just assassinated you in the street. You were not injured..."
Before Feng Yongguo arrived, the voice had already been heard, and then he saw a figure striding over, who could it be if it wasn't Feng Yongguo!
The smile on Zhu Lin's face that was sitting there couldn't help but fade, and then her eyes fell on Li Huan, her eyes full of worry.
But even though she was worried, when Zhu Lin saw Feng Yongguo, she stood up and saluted Feng Yongguo: "I've met my uncle!"
Feng Yongguo smiled at Zhu Lin, but his eyes fell on Li Huan. He looked Li Huan up and down, and seemed to be sure that Li Huan was fine. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay if nothing happens.
Things will be fine!”
Li Huan looked at Feng Yongguo's worried look and couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, uncle, they are just a group of assassins and they can't hurt me."
Feng Yongguo couldn't help but look serious when he heard this. He looked at Li Huan with a worried expression and said: "Huan'er, the tax reform has touched the interests of countless people. My uncle is worried that if you escape this wave, there will be another wave.
!”
Feng Yongguo said again: "Uncle knows that you are powerful, but it is easy to dodge hidden arrows with open swords and hard to guard against. You are the only child of Lao Li's family. If something happens to you, what should this huge champion house do? What should your mother do?"
How to live..."
Hearing this, Li Huan stepped forward and pulled Feng Yongguo to sit down. Then he smiled at Zhu Lin and said, "You can rest assured that in this big world, if there is anyone who can hurt me, there really isn't anyone..."
Feng Yongguo glared at Li Huan almost instinctively and said: "Nonsense, do you think you are invulnerable to all poisons, invulnerable to swords and guns, and invincible?"
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a voice said: "Second brother, what are you talking to Huan'er about? What about being invulnerable and invincible..."
Feng Yongguo, who was blowing his beard and staring at Li Huan, immediately changed his expression when he heard this. Li Huan also shut up quickly, winked at Zhu Lin, and Feng Yongguo immediately stood up and greeted the visitor: "Mother,
Uncle was just joking with me!"
