There is only less than half an hour left before the competition starts.
Ye Chongtian still hasn¡¯t appeared yet.
The famous swordsman sat aside, sipping the tea leisurely, but there was also a trace of suspicion on his face.
With Ye Chongtian¡¯s character, it is absolutely impossible that this time has not come yet. Could it be that something really happened?
"Xiaobo, why isn't Xiaoye here? Do you want to go look for it?" Mu Mingyao was also a little worried. She could see that Ye Ling'er was worried but didn't dare to speak, so she immediately asked Mu Bo to go look for it.
"good!"
Mu Bo agreed, and together with Tang Pui, they would follow the road from the Hou Mansion to the competition arena to look for Ye Chongtian.
On the high platform, the emperor also showed a puzzled face.
"Anguo, why hasn't your nephew [Chapter 239: The Princess Taking the Blame!] come yet?"
Princess Anguo also arrived at the imperial competition today. Her face was not very good-looking, and she looked a bit reluctant on the surface, but those who are familiar with her can feel her excitement.
The emperor also felt it.
He was angry.
If Princess Anguo actually dares to play tricks in front of him, preventing Ye Chongtian from participating in the imperial competition, or simply killing him, even if she is his biological sister, the emperor will severely punish her.
Now that he is older, all he cares about is getting his way.
After being the emperor for a long time, he will naturally have this feeling. No matter what happens, everything must go as he wants. If he wants to watch a wonderful final, then there must be a wonderful final today. No matter who is hindering his interest, All must pay a price.
"oh?"
Princess Anguo showed a mysterious smile, "Brother Emperor, this nephew of mine has always been lazy, and I don't know him very well. However, he will definitely arrive. Brother Emperor, please rest assured."
She expresses herself skillfully.
¡°Brother, if you want to see a good show, there will be a good show. Even she can¡¯t go against the will of her brother, the emperor.
"Will you definitely come?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.
"[Chapter 239: The Princess Who Takes the Blame!] will definitely come!" Princess An Guo nodded steadily.
She was relieved to work upstairs every day - after paying such a heavy price, people always have a little confidence.
"That's good, then just wait a little longer"
The emperor was relieved for the moment. Princess Anguo promised him that he expected that she would not dare to play any tricks.
Princess Anguo sat firmly in her seat, clenched her fists, and kept looking in the direction of Ye Chongtian. She was also looking forward to today's battle!
At this time, suddenly a small group of sergeants from the Garrison Department came in in a panic and reported the situation to the officer in charge of the security of Dabi. The emperor saw it from afar on the high platform, his face darkened, and he said loudly: "The Garrison Department made Where is he? During the competition, he was so flustered and made people laugh, how could he behave like this? What happened?"
Mu Bo and Tang Pianmei also followed the small group of sergeants, their faces full of nervousness and anger. When they heard the emperor's question, Mu Bo shouted desperately in the audience!
"Your Majesty! The people from the Defense Department discovered that there were signs of fighting on the road from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion to the imperial competition, and dozens of corpses were left behind! That was Xiaoye's only way to get here. Someone must be trying to harm him. Please ask the emperor to make the decision!¡±
He already had a loud voice, but now that he was in a hurry, he used enough energy to roar loudly, his voice was like thunder, shocking the whole audience!
"What?"
"Someone ambushed and assassinated the young Marquis!"
"Isn't this too despicable?"
"Who did it?"
"Who else is there, only his aunt"
People in the scene were talking a lot, and the target was naturally directed at Princess Anguo. Princess Anguo suddenly turned pale, wondering how her premeditated plan could turn out like this.
¡°You did a good job!¡±
The emperor was furious. When he turned around and saw Princess Anguo's appearance, he was even more convinced that she was the one who did it, and became even more furious.
It was really disrespectful to the emperor to attack Ye Chongtian at this time. He gloomily called up the squad leader and Mu Bo from the garrison department who had seen the scene with their own eyes, and asked them for details.
Mu Bo walked up to the high platform and glared at Princess Anguo. Without bowing, he begged the emperor, "Your Majesty, Xiaoye must have been assassinated. Please send an army to find his traces"
The emperor¡¯s face darkened and he softly comforted, "Mu Bo, don't worry, I will promise to find Ye Chongtian for you. Today is the period of the imperial competition. Ye Chongtian is at least the second place in the competition. He is the emperor's disciple. Anyone who can't get along with him will not give me the emperor." face!"
He called the captain of the Defense Department over, "Who are those corpses? Can you identify them?"
The captain of the Garrison Department knelt on the ground and trembled, "To report to the emperor, most of the corpses have no traces. There are only eight corpses, holding scimitars, and they are Yuezhi people"
"A native of the Yuezhi country?"
The emperor suddenly raised his head and looked around, "Where is Princess Dai Dai? Is she here today?"
The Honglu Temple official in charge of foreign affairs reception rushed out in a panic, "To inform the emperor, Princess Dai Dai took out the exit certificate a few days ago and said she was going to the Jin Kingdom. I'm afraid I'm afraid she has already left today. went!"
¡°Asshole!¡±
The emperor was furious. The Yuezhi Kingdom had always surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. Daidai's arrival could be said to be an act of marriage. He had originally intended to take her as his concubine, but could not decide due to other reasons. Who knew that this woman would actually do it for He had a personal vendetta and dared to send Yuezhi warriors to assassinate Ye Chongtian in Da Qin. He was really audacious!
She had obtained the customs clearance document a few days ago, and she was obviously well prepared. She would be able to escape thousands of miles away if she took action today!
"The Yuezhi people are so courageous. If they dare to harm the people of Qin, I will send 30,000 iron hoofs to expedition to the grassland to chase them north and destroy their royal court!"
Mu Bo rolled his eyes and interjected: "Your Majesty, there are only a few hairy people in the Yuezhi Kingdom, how could they possibly hurt Xiaoye? They must have just stepped in. The real mastermind must be someone else. Your Majesty must be aware of it. !¡±
His words were obviously aimed at Princess An Guo. Ye Chongtian was missing. He was extremely anxious. After much deliberation, he could only find out the whereabouts of Ye Chongtian by landing on Princess An Guo.
"Presumptuous!"
Princess Anguo was furious, "How dare you, a little child, to interrupt randomly? What kind of place is this, you are not allowed to do anything random?"
She is also in a state of confusion now. She doesn't know what happened, but she doesn't know that everyone in the world knows that she, Princess Anguo, has a conflict with Ye Chongtian. If something happens to Ye Chongtian, everyone's eyes will be focused on her, and everyone will be thinking about it. Let her take the blame.
Dai Dai¡¯s first reason was that she had planned to leave because she could no longer do anything in the Qin State. Furthermore, the Yuezhi warriors could not hide their identity. Otherwise, they would have concealed their identity and pretended to be one of Princess An¡¯s subordinates.
The emperor glared at Princess Anguo. He was not too harsh on this sister in front of outsiders, but his expression had already hardened.
"An Guo, don't say too much, what he said makes sense."
Prince Modu and Princess Daidai came here lightly and did not bring many guards in total. If they relied on these people to deal with Ye Chongtian, it would not be enough. It must be that someone else would do it together.
Although the emperor is old and confused, there is still a little bit of his great talent and strategy left, and he can still turn this corner.
Seeing Princess An Guo's surprised and nervous expression, maybe she really wasn't the one who did it. The emperor sighed in his heart. His sister was too domineering and arrogant when she was a child, which led to her becoming so stupid now. He was afraid that even if this time it was really someone else's fault. , she can¡¯t escape as the scapegoat.
He has never understood why this sister insists on having trouble with Ye Leming's son. Ye Leming has been dead for several years, and the Hou Mansion has long been her world. What can a little child do?
"Be nice to him, soothe and coax him. In this way, after treating the hero well, he, as the emperor, also has face, so why should he be so tense and make the whole world know that they are at odds?"
It¡¯s really troublesome to be taken advantage of now!
The emperor shook his head irritably, "Department of Defense, check the admirals of the five cities and search for Ye Chongtian's whereabouts in Xijing City. You must find him here before the time limit for the competition!"
The imperial competition is a rule stipulated by the ancestors. Since it was said before that it cannot be postponed, even the emperor is inconvenient to change the time. If Ye Chongtian does not come, or there is an accident, this final will be so yellow. It is really disappointing. People are unhappy.
So we searched the whole city to find Ye Chongtian as soon as possible!
¡ù¡ù¡ù
Ye Chongtian is right below this noisy arena!
This secret passage, which leads from the long street to the vegetable market, is actually dug under the ground of the Imperial Palace.
Li Lan'er's father dug very deep, and naturally the noise from the outside world could not be transmitted to the secret passage at all. Ye Chongtian didn't know that such chaos had already occurred.
heAfter two or three fierce battles, there are actually signs of recurrence of injuries in the body. At this time, we are seizing all the time to recuperate.
"walk a short distance, turn a corner and you will reach the exit. It is very hidden over there"
Li Lan'er walked slowly in front. Although he couldn't see anything, he seemed to be very familiar with this secret passage, pointing the path.
She took a few steps, leaned to the right, and reached out to touch the wall.
"By the way, this is it!"
Li Laner let out a soft cry of joy and turned around. Suddenly, his foot stumbled and his whole body fell forward!
"oops!"
She exclaimed, and Ye Chongtian took two steps forward without thinking, reaching out and grabbing her wrist, trying to help her up.
Suddenly, Ye Chongtian felt a warning sign in his heart, as if he was being targeted by some poisonous snake. He couldn't help but trembled all over, and all the hairs on his body stood up!
Li Lan'er was pulled by her and couldn't maintain her balance. She twisted her body and fell softly into his arms!
Ye Chongtian's heart became clear, and his injured right arm hugged her. Unexpectedly, the frost and snow knife was already clenched in his left hand!
The sword's light was like snow, and it suddenly lit up in this dark secret passage! ! ! !
