More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Chapter 38 Rumors of the Capital
Early in the morning, the army of Beijun blocked Yancheng.

On the street, almost every street is full of soldiers coming and going.

Seeing this scene, the people were all frightened and ran towards the house.

At the same time, the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion was also surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Li Rui hadn't gotten up yet, when he heard his wife enter the room in a panic, shouting loudly, "Master, it's not good! Something happened!"

After hearing Madam's voice, Li Rui got up from the bed and asked in a daze, "Madam, what happened?"

Mrs. Li said quickly: "A group of soldiers came at the door, saying they wanted to search the Sheriff's Mansion."

Hearing this, Li Rui's eyes widened suddenly, and he woke up instantly.

He immediately stood up from the bed, "What's going on? Why are there soldiers searching the sheriff's mansion?"

Mrs. Li said: "I don't know what happened, master, go and have a look! They are going to break in!"

Li Rui hurried towards the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion without even having time to put on his clothes.

At this time, Li Rui was extremely disturbed. He wondered if the Northern King was going to attack him, the county guard.

But after he thought about it, he handed over his military power, and he was still working diligently for the King of the North, so the King of the North wouldn't do anything to him, right?

He can be regarded as a member of the Northern King now, how can a vassal king do anything to his own people.

If he is gone as the county guard, it will be even more difficult for the king of the north to suppress the forces in the north county.

Soon, Li Rui appeared at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Seeing that the captain who brought the soldiers was someone he knew well, Li Rui heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "Captain Wu, what are you doing?"

Wu Hong said with a smile: "Lord Li, please forgive me. The prince was assassinated by the blood moon building assassins last night. It is said that several assassins escaped. The prince ordered us to search the whole city. No one's mansion can be spared."

Hearing this, Li Rui's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Is your lord alright?"

Wu Hong said: "Lord Li, don't worry, thanks to the mysterious master of the palace, the prince was just frightened and he is fine."

Hearing this, Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief. If the Northern King was killed, he, the sheriff, might be implicated as well.

Then Li Rui said: "Okay, you can search."

Wu Hong cupped his hands and said, "Then interrupt."

Then Wu Hong led the soldiers into the county guard's mansion, searched briefly, and then led the soldiers to the next mansion.

Soon, the news of Beiwang's assassination spread throughout Yancheng.

Almost everyone in Yancheng knew that Xueyuelou sent people to assassinate Beiwang, and then was thwarted by the mysterious master of Beiwangfu.

Although Bei Wang is a waste prince, he is a prince after all, and it is a big event for a prince to be assassinated.

This matter soon spread to the capital.

……

The residence of the Eighth Prince.

After seeing Wang Qingci's Flying Pigeon passing the letter, Lu Shuyun was furious. He raised his arm and swept all the items on the chopping board to the ground, and then directly overturned the table in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, there was a clanging sound in the study, and Lu Shuyun smashed all the things that could be smashed in the study.

"Trash! Trash! A bunch of trash!"

"Six ninth-rank, one half-step grandmaster, they can't even kill a trash!"

"What's the use of you!"

After hearing Lu Shuyun's voice, the maids in the room stood aside trembling, not daring to breathe.

Lu Shuyun really couldn't believe that this operation would fail.

Even if the mysterious grandmaster is still in the North Palace, there is a half-step grandmaster from Xueyue Tower, how can he hold him for a while, so as to create opportunities for other ninth-rank warriors to kill Lu Chen.

As a result, the Blood Moon Building failed!
Not only the people from Xueyue Building failed, even the people sent by Yanyu Pavilion were basically dead. Only Wang Qingci escaped alone. It is said that he was seriously injured and could only hide in Yancheng to survive.

Lu Shuyun felt that his lungs were about to explode.

Originally, he always thought that it would be easy to get rid of the trash Lu Chen, but he failed twice in a row.

With these two failures, it may not be so easy for them to take action against Beiwangfu in the future.

The other forces are not fools, and even the Blood Moon Tower, which specializes in assassination, has failed, and there is a high probability that other assassin organizations will not accept his mission.

Just as Lu Shuyun smashed things to vent his dissatisfaction, a servant hurried in.

"Your Highness, it's not good! The big thing is not good!"

Lu Shuyun was in a fit of anger now, and when he heard the servant bluffing, he became even more angry, and he kicked the servant directly to the wall.

Fortunately, his strength was not too great, and he didn't kick the servant to death. After the servant spit out a mouthful of blood, he got up quickly and said, "Your Highness, there are rumors in the whole capital that you sent assassins from Xueyue Tower to assassinate him." King of the North, the purpose is to let the Jiangnan aristocratic family only support you in the battle for succession."

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun's brain froze, and he stayed where he was.

Soon he realized, his face darkened instantly, "Those good brothers of this king really don't miss any chance!"

Political matters can be done but cannot be said, and what can be said cannot be done.

Although fratricide is relatively common in the royal family, it is taboo for any dynasty.

Of course people know that the Eighth Prince is the one who most wants to get rid of the Ninth Prince. Their mothers are all from the Jiangnan family, and the Jiangnan family can only support one prince to participate in the succession.

But this kind of thing can only be known, and it must not be spread out. Once it is spread, it will be a scandal of royal brothers killing each other.

Since this kind of thing is taboo in the royal family, why are there still rumors in the capital that he sent someone to assassinate the Ninth Prince?
Obviously, there are other princes behind the push, the purpose is to disqualify him from competing for the crown prince.

Originally, Lu Shuyun was still thinking about how to get rid of Lu Chen just now, but after hearing the rumors in the capital, he couldn't touch Lu Chen anymore.

This is what can be said but not done in politics. Now that there are rumors, if he still sends someone to assassinate Lu Chen and Lu Chen dies, it is basically confirmed that he did it.

Even if Lu Chen was not killed by him, the ministers who supported the other princes in the court would say that he did it, and the common people would also think that he killed the Ninth Prince.

At that time, he will completely lose the qualification to compete for the crown prince.

Lu Shuyun clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling, could it be possible to let that trash go like this?
The first assassination and the second assassination were mainly for his own political purposes, but at this time Lu Shuyun was too angry to think about issues politically, and now he only wanted to get rid of Lu Chen.

Of course, this was just a momentary personal emotion, and soon Lu Shuyun calmed down.

In any case, Lu Chen will not be able to move for a while.

At this moment, Lu Shuyun turned his head to look at the bookshelf in the study room, and said to that side: "Send a message to Wang Qingci immediately, telling her to continue lurking in Beijun after recovering from her injuries, and don't take any action for now."

As soon as Lu Shuyun finished speaking, a black figure emerged from the window and left the study.
