Chapter 1,409 Detonating Andu and Assassinating the First Prince
Chapter 1411 Detonate Andu and assassinate the eldest prince
Ren Ruyi's actions were very decisive and very efficient. He easily sneaked into Zhu Yiwei, found the current left envoy of Zhu Yiwei, asked him what he wanted to know, and then directly killed him and silenced him.
Only one sentence was left: "Whoever hurts Marquis Changqing will die."
At the same time, Zhou Chen also went to the Andu Branch of Liudao Hall to collect all the intelligence information about Queen Zhaojie.
Ning Yuanzhou and others took Yang Ying to Yong'an Tower where Emperor Wu was imprisoned. However, only Yang Ying entered Yong'an Tower to see Emperor Wu, and the others could only wait outside.
It's a pity that Ning Yuanzhou and others went there with hope, but the answers Yang Ying gave them made them very disappointed.
Even though they had known that Emperor Wu would threaten them, after it actually happened, they still felt sad.
Liu Daotang served the country, and the Tiandao brothers sacrificed their lives to protect Emperor Wu, almost leaving no bones. But in the end, it ended up like this. Even after death, there was no peace, and reputation was used as a bargaining chip. How could it be possible?
Not chilling.
However, they were loyal and trustworthy people after all. Even though they felt sad in their hearts, they still did not give up the purpose of this mission.
After Ren Ruyi killed Chen Gui, the left envoy of Zhu Yiwei, he quickly returned to the envoy's residence and met Zhou Chen.
"Is the matter resolved?"
"It's half solved. Chen Gui was not the mastermind behind the death of the Wudu branch. Since it's not him, it's another one. I killed Chen Gui today. She must have been alerted. Even if I don't go find her
She, she will probably come to me on her own initiative."
Zhou Chen nodded, then pointed to a pile of documents on the table and said: "This is information about Queen Zhaojie. Although there is no exact cause of death, after reading this, you can probably understand who the culprit is.
"
Ren Ruyi's expression suddenly changed, and then she carefully looked through the content summarized by Zhou Chen.
After a long time, she put down her expression gloomily and her eyes became extremely cold.
"Di An, the eldest prince, there is actually the second prince and the mother clan of the empress..."
Zhou Chen sighed: "The matter is already very clear. At the beginning, Emperor An was very aggressive, but An's resources were limited after all, so he contacted Beipan, bought war horses and other supplies, and gave Beipan countless resources. This matter was revealed by Empress Zhaojie
I know, after Queen Zhaojie’s persuasion failed, there was a gap between the two..."
"Finally, it was spread that Queen Zhaojie was not only mad, but also going to die. But after all, she was the queen of a country. Queen Zhaojie could not just be captured. But the betrayal of her biological son, the betrayal of her parents and brothers, made her
My heart was completely chilled, so I set myself on fire in Yaoyue Tower..."
Ren Ruyi's face was full of chills: "They really deserve to die, and the second prince is even more unforgivable. The empress regards him as the most important, and he actually helped Emperor An to kill the empress. He is simply not a son of a human being."
Zhou Chen also felt that the second prince was extremely stupid. Emperor An and the eldest prince had their own purposes for wanting the queen to die. But the second prince was lucky. His biggest supporter was the queen, but in the end he ruined his mother's life and made himself lose his life.
The biggest backer.
Emperor An just asked him to make him the prince, and he actually stupidly agreed. How stupid was this?
But when I think about the plot, after this guy was exiled to Tianmen Pass, he actually colluded with Beipan and let Beipan into the pass. I know that this person has no bottom line. He is not as good as a pig or a dog, so he should die without a burial place.
"What are you going to do? No matter what you do, I will help you."
Ren Ruyi pondered for a long time before speaking: "Either Emperor An, the eldest prince, or the second prince are not easy to kill. Your mission is here to rescue Emperor Wu this time. If I had made a big fuss before you,
Big movements will also be a big obstacle to your rescue. I can't harm you all just for my own sake."
During these days from Wudu to Andu, in addition to marrying Zhou Chen, she also established a certain amount of friendship with other people in the mission, especially Yang Ying, who she regarded as her disciple.
She wanted revenge, but she also didn't want to bring down the mission.
Zhou Chen gently caressed Ren Ruyi's cheek. This assassin who looked cold and cold was actually the most emotional and the most heart-wrenching one.
"You are my wife. We are husband and wife. Your business is my business. As for rescuing Emperor Wu Yang Xingyuan, Ning Yuanzhou and I have already made a plan. You don't have to worry."
Two days later, as Ren Ruyi said, someone from Zhu Yiwei took the initiative to leave a secret note and asked her to meet.
After talking to Zhou Chen, the two of them worked together and asked Ren Ruyi to show up to see him, while Zhou Chen was hiding in the dark and ready to support him at any time.
Ren Ruyi made an appointment with Jialingru, the right envoy of Zhu Yiwei. Jialing knew Ren Ruyi's power very well and pretended to surrender and beg for mercy, but how could Ren Ruyi be deceived by her? In the end, the two sides still broke up and met each other directly.
Even though Jialing had made adequate preparations, she misjudged the situation. Ren Ruyi used to be a loner, but now, Ren Ruyi is no longer alone.
When Zhou Chen cleared away the secret agents she had arranged around her and appeared next to Ren Ruyi, her expression suddenly changed.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I am her husband. If you want to deal with my wife, as a husband, of course I cannot stand by and watch."
Some people in Jialing and Zhu Yiwei who knew Ren Ruyi felt incredible when they heard Zhou Chen's words. Ren Xin actually got married?
But Jialing's eyes became even fiercer: "Since we are husband and wife, let me send you on the road together, let's go!"
The battle broke out again, but Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi joined forces. Even though they were the elite of Zhu Yiwei, they were still no match.
And with Ren Ruyi's mercy and persuasion, many members of the Zhu Yiwei tribe chose to escape after struggling for a while. In the end, only Jialing was left.
Ren Ruyi got the answer she wanted from Jialing, so she finally gave her some dignity.
Because Zhou Chen and I had read the information about Queen Zhaojie before and deduced a lot of cause and effect, although Ren Ruyi was shocked by what Jialing said, she was mentally prepared and did not suffer any blow.
It's getting colder.
"The struggle for imperial power and the ups and downs of officialdom are really unbearable to watch."
Ren Ruyi was really frustrated. She had been a tool of power struggle for so many years. At this moment, she was really disgusted and didn't want to be tainted in the slightest.
"When we finish these things, we will go wandering around the world. No matter how chaotic the world is, if we want to take care of it, we can take care of it. If we don't want to take care of it, we will live our own lives."
"Okay, I don't want to wait any longer, and Andu doesn't want to stay any longer."
"Then we'll make a quick decision."
A few days later, Yang Ying finally met Emperor An, but the result of the negotiation was not good. Emperor An deliberately delayed and never gave an accurate answer. The mission was in someone else's territory. On the surface, they could only endure it, but secretly,
Ning Yuanzhou and the others have already started planning.
At night, Zhou Chen, Ren Ruyi, Ning Yuanzhou and others gathered together to discuss actions. They discussed for more than an hour before finalizing the plan, and the group left separately.
In fact, today's Anguo is not peaceful. First, there was a great victory in the Tianmenguan battle. The Marquis of Changqing became famous, and he married the Duke of Chu. Then the eldest prince and the second prince fought fiercely for the position of the crown prince and heir apparent.
.
Now the envoy from Wu State has arrived in Andu, and some things have happened in Andu recently, so today's Andu is still calm on the surface, but secretly it has already been turbulent.
A few days later, a piece of news exploded throughout Andu. From the royal officials to the common people, everyone was frightened by the news.
There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys of Andu. The content of the discussion was about the sensational news that started last night and spread throughout the city in just a few hours.
Queen Zhaojie five years ago was actually killed by Emperor An together with his sons and ministers. Not only that, it was also revealed that Emperor An colluded with Beipan.
Although it is not known whether this incident is true or not, after it spread, it immediately aroused heated discussion in the city because the nature of these two incidents is really too serious.
Queen Zhaojie's reputation in Anguo has always been very good. When she was framed and went crazy, many people felt sorry for her. Now that the truth has been exposed, it has naturally attracted the sympathy and anger of countless people.
The truth behind the death of Empress Zhaojie is already hotly debated, but compared to the incident of Emperor An colluding with Beipan, it is still a little worse.
Beipan has been the enemy of the Central Plains for generations, especially Anguo, which is adjacent to Beipan. Whenever Beipan invades the Central Plains, it will definitely pass through Anguo. Anguo has suffered the most looting and massacres, so the people of Anguo have no regard for Beipan.
The level of hatred is definitely at the forefront among the nine countries in the Central Plains.
Therefore, after learning that Emperor An actually colluded with Beipan, the people of Andu did not dare to say anything openly, but in their hearts they had doubts about His Majesty.
In the palace, Emperor An kicked over the table and yelled angrily.
"Who is it? Who is it?"
This is one of the biggest taboos that Andy has covered up. He even killed his first wife, the queen, for this matter, but now it has been exposed, and it has spread throughout Andu overnight. This is absolutely
It was already prepared.
To spread the news in such a short period of time, this person's power in Andu is definitely not trivial. He has thought of countless suspects, but he can't be sure.
Basically all the people who knew about this incident have been executed by him, and the remaining ones who are still alive will definitely not be able to leak it.
Those who spread the news were naturally Zhou Chen and the others. There were still some spies in the Andu branch of Liudaotang. Ren Ruyi also had some people in Andu, plus some people sent by Jin Meiniang. They all went out together, so they were able to spread the news overnight.
time to spread the news.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to cause chaos. As long as there is chaos, it will be easier to do things.
When something like this happened, Emperor An was furious. He directly mobilized various forbidden troops and began to eliminate those who talked the most. At the same time, he gave Zhu Yiwei a death order and asked them to investigate the person behind the spread of the news. If they could not find out,
Let Zhu Yiwei's command make Deng Hui kill himself.
As Emperor Andi's order was issued, the chaotic Andu suddenly became much quieter, but this was just the calm before the storm. Now all forces are on guard.
Everyone can see that this incident is aimed at An Di, and the mastermind behind the scenes must have follow-up, so many people are waiting for the next move of the mastermind behind the scenes, because they all know that such a big commotion has occurred, and behind the scenes
The black hand will definitely make the next move.
Emperor An also had the same idea, so he specially arranged for people to keep an eye on the residence of the Wu State envoy.
The Wu Kingdom mission was also under his suspicion. Although he felt that the possibility was extremely low, he still had to be on guard. After all, the incident happened shortly after the Wu Kingdom mission entered Andu.
Ning Yuanzhou and others also knew that someone had been watching them, so they had not taken any action. Only Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen were acting secretly.
Shortly after the incident of Andi's collusion with Beipan was exposed, another major event occurred that shocked Andi.
The eldest prince of Anguo, Li Shouji, the king of Hedong, was assassinated. A dragon robe was found at the place where he died. The eldest prince actually hid the dragon robe secretly.
When Emperor An learned about this, he fainted in anger on the spot. This incident also caused a violent earthquake in the Anguo court.
Zhu Yiwei's commander, Deng Hui, was even punched and kicked by Emperor An, and was almost pulled out and beheaded.
At the critical moment of life and death, Deng Hui suddenly became wise and shouted that he knew who the murderer was.
"Who is it?" Emperor An's tearing roar echoed in the hall.
"The former Zhu Yiwei left envoy, Ren Xin."
When Emperor An heard the name Deng Hui said, he was confused at first, stunned for a while, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Ren Xin? Ren Xin, is that Ren Xin? Isn't she already dead?"
"Your Majesty, she is not dead. Not long ago, Chen Gui, the left envoy of Zhuyi Guards, was assassinated in Zhuyi Guards Station. I suspected that it was Ren Xin at that time, but there was no definite evidence. Now that such a thing has happened, how can such a thing be possible?
Ren Xin is the only person with such assassination skills who would risk his life to do such a thing, Your Majesty..."
Under Deng Hui's hoarse voice, Emperor An bypassed his capital punishment and began to think about what he said.
Indeed, as Deng Hui said, if the mastermind behind the scenes is Ren Xin, everything will be clear. Ren Xin was Empress Zhaojie's man at the beginning. He wanted to kill Ren Xin at the beginning. Over the years, he has always thought that Ren Xin
Xin is dead.
If Ren Xin had not died and returned to Andu, he would indeed do such crazy things to avenge Queen Zhaojie.
But what he couldn't figure out was that Ren Xin, a mere person, could not be so capable. An assassination was easy, but letting the news spread throughout Andu overnight was not something Ren Xin could do alone, so someone must be helping Ren Xin.
pungent.
But who is it?
"Check, let me check again, find Ren Xin, and bring her to me. I want to see her in person."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately."
Deng Hui rolled and crawled out of the hall, then mobilized the entire Zhuyi Guard to search for Ren Xin.
The eldest prince Li Shouji was indeed assassinated by Ren Ruyi. To be precise, it was Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen who jointly assassinated him. However, Ren Ruyi was the last one to take action, while Zhou Chen cooperated from the side.
After assassinating Li Shouji, Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi took the next step.
