Chapter 952: Capture the Assassin

Since the guard general Zhao Huan had already thought of how the assassins had infiltrated the palace, the army and guards were immediately mobilized, and more than a thousand soldiers rushed into the Qi Palace's mansion through the side gate, surrounding the shore of the Qi Palace.

The assassination of the princess and the prince was a great matter, and the army and guards reacted very quickly, with five thousand troops and two thousand guards already surrounding Bi Yuan, and dozens of search teams were searching along every small river of the palace and the King of Qi.

At this time, Luo Shixin, who was patrolling in the city, also arrived in time, he heard that there were assassins in the palace, maybe something happened to the prince, he was like being struck by lightning, and he screamed and rushed to the palace. More than 100 soldiers ran after him.

rushed to the rainbow bridge connecting the imperial city and the palace city, and happened to meet the guard general Zhao Huan, who was the first to rush to the assassination scene.

Zhao Huan hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, Luo Shixin grabbed him by the neck and yelled, "How is the son?" ”

Zhao Huan trembled with fright and said: "General Qiyu, the prince is fine, Prince Yuwen happened to be in the carriage of the prince, and he was unfortunately assassinated." ”

Luo Shinobunaga let out a sigh, he felt his legs go weak for a while, and he almost scared him to death, "What about the princess?" ”

"The princess and the others are fine."

Luo Shixin wiped the cold sweat from his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Did the assassin catch it?" ”

"It should still be in the water, searching!"

At this moment, a guard came running to report: "General Qiyu, I have found the traces of the assassins, and I am hiding on the island in the middle of the lake." ”

Luo Shi burst into confidence and shouted: "Prepare a boat for me, and I will personally go to the island to arrest people!" ”

One of his men behind him reminded: "General, the assassins must still have accomplices in the city, and we should curfew and search the city to prevent the accomplices from escaping." ”

A sentence reminded Luo Shixin, and he took off his token and handed it to his own soldiers, "You immediately go to General Qian, and ask him to block the streets and patrol the city walls tightly, no matter who it is, no one is allowed to leave the city without my order." ”

The soldiers received the order and rushed away, and Luo Shixin jumped on a small boat with a gun, and the boat shook towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Bi Yuan usually only has two painting boats, one in the inner palace and one in the Qi Palace, but there are more than 20 small boats on the guard's side, mainly used for dredging, and it is rare to use them once a year.

The boat headed towards the island in the middle of the lake, and Luo Shixin, who had calmed down a little, asked for the details of the assassination.

Zhao Huan said: "The three assassins should have entered the inner palace from the palace of King Qi, they caught a eunuch first, and learned that the prince was still in the East Palace, so they ambushed in Jinlin Bridge, waiting for the prince's carriage to come back, but they didn't know the prince, and mistakenly took the prince of Yuwen in the carriage as the prince, and the three assassins used a short crossbow and shot a poisoned arrow and dived." ”

"Is the arrested eunuch still there?"

"We found the body of this eunuch by the river, with his neck twisted off."

Luo Shixin's face was pale, he knew that Dashuai was worried that his wife and children would be stabbed, so he let them live in the palace, but he didn't expect to be guessed by Dashuai.

Needless to say, this must have been done by the Turks, who did whatever it took to disturb the morale of the front-line troops, and fortunately Zen Master Yuwen was by the side of the prince, otherwise they would have succeeded.

After a short time, the boat arrived at the island in the middle of the lake, which was surrounded by more than two dozen boats and two painting boats, and Luo Shixin asked, "Where is the assassin?" ”

A soldier pointed to the small building on the island in the middle of the lake and said, "Just now they shot poisoned arrows from the small building, they should be upstairs." ”

Luo Shixin snatched a large shield from one of the guards, jumped ashore, and strode towards the entrance of the building.

At this time, the cold light flashed, and a quenching crossbow arrow shot head-on at Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin raised his shield to block it, but the pace under his feet did not stop at all.

When the guards saw that the overlord Lancer Luo Shixin was coming, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all followed him ashore and killed him in the buildings on the island.

The three Taoist priests thought that they had succeeded in killing the prince and were eager to escape from the palace, but the guards Lang Zhao Huan had already sent someone to rush to the palace of Qi Wangfu first, cutting off their retreat, and they had to turn around and swim back to the palace.

"Here's your chance, follow me to get the ship!"

Li Qingshan saw that the guards abandoned the ship and went ashore, and realized that this was their only chance to escape, but he didn't know Luo Shixin, and thought that he was also a guard leader.

Three Taoist priests jumped from the second floor and met Luo Shixin striding into the courtyard with a gun.

"Kill him together!"

After all, Li Qingshan has a lot of experience, he has already found that the big gun in the other party's hand is actually made of pure iron, weighing at least more than 100 catties, this is a general, not an ordinary guard, and he can't underestimate the enemy.

The three of them shouted, and swung their swords together to rush towards Luo Shixin, but Luo Shixin sneered, the spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning, and then took two steps back, dodging Zhao Huangquan's head-on sword.

"Why don't you go up?"

Zhao Huangquan saw that the two companions did not follow, so she shouted anxiously, and when she turned around, she froze, only to see that both of them were pierced with a big hole in their heads, and they fell straight down.

Zhao Huangquan was shocked and angry, and shouted sadly: "The old lady is fighting with you!" ”

She swung her sword and killed Luo Shixin, she had completely lost her mind, and she didn't notice that more than a dozen guards had killed her, Luo Shixin shouted: "Catch her alive, don't kill her!" ”

A guard jumped up from behind, hugged Zhao Huangquan's waist from behind, and threw her to the ground, and the rest of the guards rushed up, pressed Zhao Huangquan to the ground, and tied her up with a rope, but Zhao Huangquan ignored it completely, she struggled desperately, glared at Luo Shixin and scolded: "Thief, bastard, the old lady must kill you!" ”

Luo Shixin snorted coldly and said to Zhao Huan: "The rest of the matter will be handed over to you, I want this woman's confession tonight!" ”

Zhao Huan gritted his teeth and said, "General, don't worry!" What we have is a way to deal with women. ”

Luo Shixin shook his head, turned around and walked out, and soon returned to Jinlin Bridge by boat, he just landed on the shore and heard the heart-rending cry of Princess Nanyang from afar, although Luo Shixin did not have a good impression of the descendants of the Yuwen family, but the cry of Princess Nanyang made him feel sad in his heart, after all, he was still a teenager, and he blocked the arrow for the prince.

"General Luo!" Someone next to him was shouting at him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw that it was Xiao Yu of Xiangguo, except for Su Wei of the seven Xiangguo, the other six people would be on duty in Ziwei Palace every day, and it was Xiao Yu's turn today.

Luo Shixin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "See Xiangguo!" ”

Xiao Yu sighed and said worriedly: "I didn't expect such a big event to happen tonight, I dared to enter the palace to assassinate me, did the assassin catch it?" ”

Luo Shixin nodded, "All of them were caught, two people were killed, and one was left alive." ”

"Who does General Luo think this could be?"

"It should be Turkic, before the big marshal was worried that his family would be assassinated by the Turks, so he let them move into the palace to ensure safety, but I didn't expect the Turks to chase them to the palace."

"I think it's also Turkic, but I have a suggestion that I hope General Luo will consider."

"Xiangguo, please."

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said: "It's best not to spread the news of the assassin tonight, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the army, and secondly, it's better not to have a curfew, and not martial law, I'm worried that it will cause unnecessary panic and cause prices to rise, which will be detrimental to the current war." ”

Luo Shixin smiled bitterly and said: "As a general, I must arrest the assassins and the party, martial law and curfew must be inevitable, this is my duty, if I don't do it, it is my dereliction of duty, but Du Senjun is in the central capital, he has the right to cancel martial law and curfew, Xiangguo can go to discuss with Du Senjun, Du Senjun issued an elimination order to me, I will cancel martial law and curfew, in addition, please rest assured that Xiangguo will order a ban on the assassin's matter, and no one is allowed to spread it." ”

Xiao Yu arched his hand and said: "Thank you General Luo for your cooperation, I will go to discuss with Du Senjun." ”

Xiao Yu turned around and left in a hurry, at this time, the Empress Dowager Xiao helped the grief-stricken Princess Nanyang back to the palace, Luo Shixin saw the princess, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "See the princess!" ”

Lu Qing's heart was confused and very scared, she saw Luo Shixin, her heart was a little calmer, and asked Luo Shixin: "General Luo, have you caught the assassin?" ”

"Back to the princess, the three assassins have been caught, and the palace should be safe and sound."

"Then I'm relieved, hey! Tonight's events were all expected by you. ”

Luo Shi was even more ashamed in his confidence, the marshal expected it, and handed over the safety of Zhongdu to himself, but there was still an assassination, which was his dereliction of duty, and he also knew that it was a loophole in the defense of the palace, and the assassin used the Qi Palace's Mansion to swim directly to the inner palace, and the soldiers he arranged in the Qi Palace's Mansion turned out to be a decoration.

He secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, he wanted to surround the Qi Palace's mansion like an iron bucket to see who could drill this loophole again.

At this time, a soldier rushed over and whispered a few words to Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin's face changed, and the captured female assassin actually committed suicide by chewing her tongue. (To be continued.) )
