The rain became heavier and heavier, and dozens of assassins appeared inexplicably in the imperial city.
At this moment, he emerged from a tunnel in the dark. This was the tunnel that Zhang Yuanhai secretly sent people to dig out some time ago.
Now there are also people in the palace who can support him. For this assassination, Zhang Yuanhai used all the power within the palace.
Originally, he had a lot of arrangements in the palace, but after Zhu Youde cleaned up the harem staff last time, most of the informants and chess pieces were useless, and now there are not many available in the palace.
But this time, Zhang Yuanhai chose to give it a try and sacrificed all his chess pieces...
Zhu Youde had just returned to the palace from the royal study.
Nowadays, there are still many things that need to be done by yourself.
The biggest thing Zhu Youde did today was to appoint Zhou Heng as the new deputy commander.
The last time Wang Po persuaded Zhou Heng personally in that prison.
Zhou Heng agreed to submit to Zhu Youde.
Zhang Chenhao has been beheaded this time, and there is no longer any involvement between Zhou Heng and the Zhang family.
As soon as Zhu Youde returned to the palace, he felt that something was not right about the atmosphere.
The guards in the palace were nowhere to be seen today.
Normally, they will not disappear even when the shift is handed over.
An inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly appeared on Zhu Youde.
Back in the palace, Luo Xian was still resting. She seemed not to know what was going on outside.
"His Majesty."
Seeing Zhu Youde return, Luo Xian sat up from the bed, quite happy.
Zhu Youde also stepped forward and took Luo Xian into his arms.
The light rain outside the window was still falling, but the uneasiness in Zhu Youde's heart became even heavier.
Suddenly he heard a rustling sound.
After hearing the noise outside, I felt a little panicked.
After a few figures flashed outside the window, more than twenty killers rushed directly into the palace.
These killers were dressed in black robes, and each one of them was aggressive and had bad intentions.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Youde immediately stood in front of Luo Xian.
"Your Majesty, it's already this time, so you don't need to protect me." Luo Xian pushed Zhu Youde behind him with a backhand.
If Zhu Youde went up rashly this time, he would definitely get into trouble.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Youde stopped pretending.
It's just that his actions just now were indeed done subconsciously.
Soon enough, the assassin had already rushed closer.
The assassin on the other side said sternly: "Go! Kill the damn emperor!"
The language that came out of his mouth was not Daliang language, but Hun language.
Zhu Youde was shocked. The audacious Huns envoy actually dared to send a killer to sneak into the palace!
If there is an inexplicable vacancy in the guards in the imperial city today, it will give them an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Now is not the time to think about these things, saving life is still the most important thing.
"Wang Banban!"
"Sajia is here!"
Wang Zhonghou, who had been hiding in secret for protection, jumped out when he heard the sound and drew a long whip from the side.
The man in black instantly raised his sword and charged towards Zhu Youde.
They didn't notice Wang Zhonghou at all. In their eyes, what strength would a eunuch have?
When they waited for the next second, they all knew that they were wrong, and they were still wrong.
Wang Zhonghou raised the long whip in his hand, and like a white sword, it drew an arc in the dark night sky.
Snapped.
With just this whip, the leader's body was instantly cut off at the waist.
"No, the other party is a master."
Seeing this situation, the remaining assassins in black naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
The strength shown by Wang Zhonghou had already surprised them.
More than twenty assassins rushed forward together, and outside the door, there were also more than thirty assassins waiting.
The strength of these assassins is probably around the third rate.
Wang Zhonghou stood in front of Zhu Youde, and even though he faced so many assassins at the same time, he still did not fall behind.
But after a few blinks, the bodies of more than a dozen assassins had fallen to the ground.
Those assassins who were originally full of morale were now a little worried in their hearts.
"Quickly withdraw now, guard the door, and then burn the hall with fire." After seeing this situation, the leading assassin immediately ordered.
He also knew that he should not be able to kill the Dog Emperor in a short period of time.
And now that there is such a big commotion here, the Guards are expected to arrive quickly.
In this case, they simply guarded the four exits and directly set fire to burn Zhu Youde to death.
Thinking of this, he took out a strange medicine bottle from his hand and smashed it on the ground.
This strange smoke spread from the medicine bottle.
"Your Majesty! Queen! Be careful that the smoke is poisonous!"
Wang Zhonghou used his inner strength to clear away some smoke. Just after saying these words, he found a dozen wine jars suddenly smashed into the palace.
The contents in these wine jars are not wine, but seem to be oil and water.
"They want to set fire?" Zhu Youde thought of this immediately.
"It looks like he wants to attack with fire! Your Majesty, hide behind..." As he said that, Wang Zhonghou burst out a burst of energy from his body and dispersed some of the mist in front of him.
The thieves released a lot of fog, but fortunately Wang Zhonghou was strong enough and managed to hold on for several minutes.
The fire in the palace was getting bigger and bigger, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the thieves outside were shouting more and more arrogantly.
But at this moment, Zhu Youde heard a burst of noisy footsteps.
"Your Majesty! Wang Po's escort is late!"
"It's General Wang!" Luo Xian's eyes flashed, and through the dissipated smoke she saw Wang Po leading his troops and horses into the imperial city.
"Thief, please accept your fate!"
With the flash of swords and blood, the assassin fell on the spot in less than a minute.
"Your Majesty! I am late to escort you, but I hope your Majesty will forgive me!" Wang Po rushed into the palace and rescued the two of them.
"General Wang's words are serious. I will definitely reward you for your timely escort..." Zhu Youde gave Wang Po a hint of support, indicating that this was not necessary.
Then his eyes flashed and he shouted: "Let me investigate carefully! Who wants to kill me! The nine tribes must be killed!"
…………
The assassination of Zhu Youde instantly caused a commotion in the court.
Unexpectedly, Guang Luxun, who was responsible for guarding the palace and managing these affairs, had committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Zhu Youde also figured out why there were no guards in the palace at that time.
It was Guang Luxun who transferred all those guards and pretended that new guards would be arranged.
Moreover, he also led all the eunuchs and maids away from the back hall.
This left the entire palace unattended.
If Wang Zhonghou hadn't been hiding in secret, he might have been in danger...
Those dead assassins all had Hun tattoos on their bodies.
Then we can basically conclude that these people are all Huns.
And these Huns were verified as envoys from the Huns...
