Chapter 133: The Emperor's Mindset, Shocking the Nations
Crack!
A flash of knife light appeared in the palace hall, and the assassin who was disguised as a member of the Western Regions envoy group had his arm cut off by Xiao Po, the leader of the Jinwu Guard.
Ah——
Then, the assassin's painful scream sounded in the palace hall.
The broken arm with the sleeve arrow tied to it was still twitching suddenly.
Almost at the same time when Xiao Po swung his knife to cut the assassin, the eighteen riders of Longcheng hidden on the beams of the palace hall also appeared from the dark, holding swords and forming a silver barrier around Jin Wang Chen Huaian.
Then, a large number of Jinwu Guard soldiers wearing golden armor and holding ring-headed short knives rushed into the palace and surrounded the envoys of the thirty-five countries present.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
Even Chen Huaian was stunned for a moment.
It was not until Yue Qiluo's soft and light body collapsed in his arms that he suddenly reacted.
At this moment, Yue Qiluo, who was shot in the back, had fallen into a coma.
It was obvious that the arrow shot by the assassin must have been coated with some kind of highly toxic substance, and was completely aimed at taking Chen Huaian's life.
At this moment, a strong murderous aura flashed in Chen Huaian's starry eyes.
But he still forced himself to calm down.
He immediately ordered: "Moyanchu, what are you waiting for, hurry up and call the imperial physician!"
Under Chen Huaian's rebuke, Yingwu Khan Moyanchuo, who had been frightened by this sudden change, suddenly came to his senses.
He stuttered and shouted: "Come, come, call, call the imperial physician!"
Then, he rushed to Chen Huaian, crying and crying: "Qiluo, Qiluo, are you okay? You must hold on, father Khan, father Khan, woo woo woo——"
Chen Huaian handed the unconscious Yue Qiluo to Yingwu Khan Moyanchuo.
He only said one sentence: "Save her at all costs!"
"Your Highness, the assassin wants to commit suicide by taking poison, but I have controlled him!"
While speaking, Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, hurried to Chen Huaian and knelt down to ask him: "Your Highness, should we immediately dispatch the Jinwu Guard to block the entire city and search for the assassin's accomplices!"
When he said this, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of Xiao Po's forehead.
He was scared!
As the commander of the Jinwu Guard, protecting the safety of His Highness Prince Jin is his primary responsibility, and he cannot afford any mistakes.
But since the Prince of Jin went to the Western Regions, this is the second time he has been assassinated by an assassin.
If it is said that the first time Gu Yina Zha assassinated Chen Huaian, it was because Xiao Po was moved by compassion, so he let Gu Yina Zha and her group, who were disguised as refugees, into the army camp.
So, this time the assassin disguised himself as a member of the Western Regions delegation and assassinated King Jin in the palace hall. Xiao Po, the leader of the Jinwu Guard, could not escape the blame.
Facing Xiao Po's request, Chen Huaian's face had returned to normal, and he said: "Xiao Po, I order you to pry open the assassin's mouth no matter what means."
"The arrow he used to assassinate me must have been coated with some kind of poison!"
Chen Huaian continued without any emotion: "If you can't get the antidote from the assassin within an incense stick of time, you don't have to come to see me!"
"Go!"
"I have received the order!"
Xiao Po immediately took the order and called several Jinwu Guard soldiers to drag the unconscious assassin out of the palace hall.
Chen Huaian waved his hand, signaling the 18 Dragon City Riders to retreat, and ordered the Jinwu Guard soldiers in the hall: "You, all retreat!"
With an order, all the Jinwu Guard soldiers wearing armor and carrying swords withdrew.
In a blink of an eye, the huge palace of the Huihe King returned to peace.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Chen Huaian smiled and said, "Everyone, it's just a small episode, don't take it to heart!"
He clapped his hands and ordered, "Continue playing music, continue dancing!"
In the hall, the nervous and frightened musicians and dancers had to play music and dance again with trepidation after hearing the order of His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
However, with such a big thing happening, how could the kings and members of the envoys of the 35 countries in the Western Regions have the mood to drink and have fun, and enjoy singing and dancing.
Assassinating the King of Jin in court is a serious crime!
There was an assassin in the envoy group, and the kings of the 35 countries present were all suspected and could not escape the responsibility.
Not only them, but also the lives and property of the people of the 35 countries in the Western Regions, all depended on the thought of His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
For a time, the people in the palace hall were panicked and everyone was in danger.
On the contrary, Chen Huaian, the King of Jin, who had just escaped from the gates of hell, sat in the hall like nothing had happened, filled his glass with fine wine, and enjoyed the singing and dancing with great interest.
At this moment, the kings of the 35 countries in the Western Regions felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and deep fear from the young King of Jin in front of them.
This invisible psychological pressure was even greater than that many of them had experienced when they went to the imperial city of Daxin to meet Zhao Mang, the founding emperor of Daxin.
This powerful aura may be the legendary aura of the true dragon emperor.
The kings of the Western Regions and the members of the envoys finally waited until the end of the dinner with an uneasy mood.
Until the end of the dinner, Chen Huaian never mentioned the assassination.
He just ordered Lan Yu, Pang Xianchu, Fan Wuji and other generals to see off the kings of the 35 countries on his behalf.
Then, he left first.
As soon as Jin Wang Chen Huaian left, Wusun King Tibisi immediately approached General Lan Yu and said in a pleading tone: "General--"
"Please, General, say a few good words for my Wusun country in front of His Royal Highness Jin Wang!"
Tibisi continued: "I, Tibisi, and millions of Wusun subjects, are willing to surrender to Jin Wang. I hope His Royal Highness Jin Wang will be able to see clearly that the assassin who assassinated Jin Wang has absolutely nothing to do with my Wusun country. I am willing to guarantee it with my life--"
"General--"
"My Anxi"
"My Great Yuezhi"
For a while, the kings who returned to the Huihe Palace from the Western Regions with Lan Yu regarded Lan Yu as a life-saving straw, hoping that he could say a few good words in front of Jin Wang.
This crime of assassinating Jin Wang in court is a serious crime that none of these small Western Regions countries can afford!
Once it is confirmed, it will destroy the country!
However, this matter is of great importance.
Lan Yu was a rough man, so he didn't dare to promise anything on this matter. He had to fool the kings.
After sending off the envoys from the Western Regions, Lan Yu finally had the opportunity to talk to Pang Xianchu and Fan Wuji.
Lan Yu said, "General Pang, General Fan, what do you two think about this?"
Pang Xianchu sneered and said, "Isn't this just lice on a bald man's head? It's obvious?"
Hmm?
Lan Yu's expression froze, and he looked at Pang Xianchu in confusion.
The latter didn't give him an answer, but turned around and left.
Lan Yu looked at Fan Wuji again.
Fan Wuji shrugged, spread his hands, and turned around and left.
Only Lan Yu was left alone, messy in the wind, talking to himself, "What lice on a bald man's head? Why can't this general understand it?"
