Chapter 162 Assassination

In the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, Judge Dee kept wandering around. The princess sat on a chair and looked around.

Li Yuanfang stood in front of the door, nervously listening to what was going on outside. The princess looked at the expressions of the two people: "What's wrong with you?"

Judge Dee stopped and said, "Ah, it's nothing."

The princess said: "Uncle, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"

Judge Dee smiled: "No rush. No rush."

The door opened with a bang, and Duke Dee rushed out, followed by the princess and Li Yuanfang.

Outside, the sound of killing was loud and the fire was raging. A smile appeared on Judge Dee's face. The princess asked in surprise: "What happened? Did the Turks come in?!"

Judge Dee shook his head and said, "Of course not. Go inside, it's not safe here."

The county director said matter-of-factly: "No, I want to be here."

Judge Dee shook his head helplessly. Li Yuanfang asked in a low voice: "Sir, this is not a small attack."

Judge Di smiled: "What I'm afraid of is that they won't come." Yuan Fang was puzzled.

At this incident, outside the Governor's Mansion, flames shot into the sky, and Yu Feng led the men in black and rushed towards the Governor's Mansion, shouting. Yu Feng shouted loudly: "Brothers, charge into the Governor's Mansion!" The man in black screamed and rushed through the door. The imperial guards who came after hearing the news fought and left.

The princess exclaimed: "Listen, there seems to be a shout of killing coming from the direction of the gate!"

Li Yuanfang's expression changed drastically: "Sir, the Governor's Mansion is under attack, should we leave as soon as possible!"

Judge Dee's face was very serious and he sneered: "He is indeed here!"

At this moment, Di Chun ran over with several guards: "Sir, the rebels have broken through the gate of the mansion and are the first to enter the courtyard!"

Judge Dee nodded: "I understand. Tell the guards to hold on!"

Di Chun said "Yes!" and ran away with the guards.

The princess said in panic: "Uncle, what should we do? Run!"

Judge Di smiled calmly: "Yuanfang, accompany the princess to the house."

Yuan Fang said: "Yes. Princess, please."

The princess pinched her neck: "I won't go, I will be wherever uncle is!"

The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and with a "swish" sound, an arrow came straight towards the princess. Li Yuanfang pushed the princess away, and with a "duo" sound, the arrow was nailed to the door frame. The princess was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled. But Judge Dee still stood quietly in front of the door, motionless.

Li Yuanfang urged: "Princess, please come into the house." The princess shouted loudly: "I won't leave even if I tell you not to leave!" As he spoke, the shouts of death got much closer, and the light of the fire could be faintly seen. .

Di Chun ran over with blood all over his body: "Master, the rebels have passed the garden!" Di Gong categorically ordered: "Strictly order the guards to defend! Don't retreat even one step!" Di Chun replied: "Yes!" and ran away. go.

Li Yuanfang said: "Sir, the Imperial Guards are very powerful in combat. Why did the enemy attack the garden in such a short time today?"

Judge Judge said: "I transferred the Imperial Guards to the city to quell the chaos. Only two teams are left here."

Li Yuanfang gasped: "That's it! Sir, I'm going to help."

Judge Dee shook his head: "Your responsibility is to protect the princess."

The princess suddenly puffed up her chest: "I don't need protection! This princess is a descendant of Taizong, with the same surname as Li. If you want to live a dignified life, you must die bravely!"

A smile of approval appeared on Duke Di's face: "What a descendant of Taizong! Forget it, Yuanfang, go immediately and take away all the guards here! You must resist!" Li Yuanfang nodded: "Don't worry! "With that said, he jumped up and shouted loudly: "Brothers, guard the garden, protect the Lord and the princess!" The guards shouted and rushed towards the garden.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the guards, led by their commanders, fought to the death with the enemy. Although the men in black led by Yu Feng had the numerical advantage, the Imperial Guards were the elite among the elite. Although they were at a disadvantage, they did not lose any control. They formed a tight defensive formation and fought and retreated.

Yu Feng's eyes were red, and he screamed at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, kill me! Kill!" The men in black shouted and rushed forward.

Suddenly, there was a shout from behind the garden. Li Yuanfang arrived with reinforcements. The guards were so energetic that they suppressed the enemy with a countercharge.

The steel knife in Li Yuanfang's hand was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, the heads of several people in black were missing. Yu Feng roared and flew forward. Li Yuanfang's figure shifted. The steel knife rolled up a cold mist. With a scream, Yu Feng's left arm was chopped off and fell to the ground.

When the people in black saw this, their energy was greatly dampened, and they turned around and ran away. Yu Feng screamed wildly and flashed with cold light, cutting down several fleeing men in black to the ground. The man in black had no choice but to turn around and charge towards the guards. Li Yuanfang roared angrily and led his guards to meet him, and the two sides fell into a melee again.

But in the main hall, Judge Dee stood quietly. The princess next to her looked nervously in the direction of the garden. Her hand slowly stretched out from her sleeve, holding a dagger.

Judge Dee looked ahead intently, motionless. The princess whispered: "If they break through the defense line, I will commit suicide!" As she said this, she raised the dagger in her hand.

Duke Di smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't let Taizong's descendants die like this!"

The princess looked at Duke Di, and gradually a cruel smile appeared on her face: "What if Taizong's descendants want you to die?"

Judge Dee was startled and turned around. The princess raised her dagger and shouted: "Die!"

A flash of cold light went straight to Duke Di's chest...

It was too late to speak, but Zhang Yang stabbed Jin Mulan's dagger from in front of Mr. Di. Hu Jinghui caught Mr. Di and said, "Sir, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Judge Dee suddenly raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and said word by word: "You are just Jin Mulan!"

The princess walked over with a sinister smile: "That's right, uncle, you didn't expect it, right? Princess Li Qingxia is the real Jin Mulan!"

Di Gong took a deep breath: "I finally understand. You killed the envoys and pretended to be in Beijing, not only to rob the earthen kiln and save Liu Jin, but the main purpose is to take you out of Chang'an!"

The princess said: "It's not bad at all! You know, as a princess, my movements are greatly restricted. My control of the situation in Youzhou depends entirely on Hu Jinghui and Yu Feng. Several times, I sneaked out of the palace secretly I rushed to Youzhou to deal with urgent matters, and my father almost found out about it when I came back. Moreover, Wu Zetian has always been a great enemy to my royal family with the surname of Li. My home is surrounded by internal guards who have been monitoring it for many years, making it very inconvenient to move around. All of this is not conducive to my development. Plan to overthrow Wu Ni, therefore, I have long wanted to escape from the prison and pursue big things, but I have no chance."

Judge Di said: "Overthrow Wu Ni? Are you the prince's man?"

The princess sneered: "Prince?" She looked disdainful, "Who is he? He is cowardly and groveling!"

Duke Di scolded: "Although the prince is weak, at least he has not betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy like you and humiliated the late emperor!"

The princess uttered wild words: "What do you know? This is called using external forces to defend against internal enemies! I am a descendant of the surname Li, and it has always been my duty to overthrow Wu Ni. Although I had controlled Youzhou at that time, I suffered from being alone. , it is difficult to compete with Wu Ni, so the list of Liu Jin is very important to me."

Judge Di said: "You have worked really hard for this list."

The princess said: "In the past three years since Liu Jin was captured in Youzhou, I have racked my brains and contacted various forces to rescue Liu Jin. A year ago, I planned a rescue, but Chang'an City was heavily guarded. As soon as I sneaked into the city, I was arrested by the Nanya Forbidden Army. Thanks to Hu Jinghui, I killed someone and silenced me. From then on, I didn’t dare to act rashly. Just when I was anxious and hesitant, the imperial decree arrived, Wu Zetian married me to the Turkic Khan As his wife. I immediately learned through the relationship between the DPRK and China that she would negotiate peace with the Turks. This was a golden opportunity to not only rescue Liu Jin, but also help me escape from the prison. So, I took the risk to sneak out of Chang'an and rushed to Turk, secretly met with Jili Khan’s uncle Modu. The two of us hit it off, and that’s when we decided on this plan.”

Duke Di nodded: "Two months later, if the delegation comes to Beijing, Viper attacks the driver in Yu Street and finds a substitute to die on your behalf. Then, Princess Yiyang disappears, and you, Li Qingxia, can be outside without any trace. direct this vast conspiracy with scruples.”

The princess sneered: "Di Renjie, Di Renjie, you have been smart all your life, but in the end you fell into trouble with the word 'Li'. Just imagine, if I were not Li Qingxia, a descendant of Taizong, but someone else, you would have guessed that I was It’s Jin Mulan.”

Di Gong's eyes flashed with anger: "You still have the nerve to mention Emperor Taizong! I never thought that the descendants of Li would collude with Turkic scum and act as traitors!"

The princess said boldly: "You can't even imagine that I, a descendant named Li, will be the second female emperor! Whoever dares to stop me will die!"
