Prime Minister take care

Chapter 21
The winter night is extremely cold.

It was the beginning of the third watch, and people who had worked hard for a day had already fallen into sleep.The whole city became silent, except for the occasional sound of the watchman's bamboo clappers and the barking of dogs.

At this time, there will be old men who hugged their daughter-in-law and cursed, and finally turned over and continued to dream of their own dreams.

Shu Palace, this should be the safest place in the entire Xian City, but now there are several dark figures sneaking in quietly.

Although this group of people was small in number, they were able to quietly avoid the patrolling route of the guards and head straight for their target.

The eaves of the corridors are flying into corners, and the palaces and pavilions are high.

It is the most imposing palace in the entire Shu Palace, and it is also the bedroom of the owner of the Shu Palace.

The five black figures passed through the numerous guards and approached quietly.Before the two guards guarding the door could react, their lives were ended with two daggers.

This place is heavily guarded, and the time of these dead men is limited.However, for well-trained professional assassins like them, it doesn't take much time to kill a person.

The door was opened quietly, and the palace seemed very cold and quiet.

A window in the palace was opened, and the moonlight shone through from the outside, shining on the couch in the center of the bedroom.

The five assassins looked at each other and confirmed that their target was currently on the couch.

Xia Gongnie was sleeping deeply, lying on the couch, holding a small golden bowl in her left hand, an ivory bowl and a jade spoon in her right hand, and was still muttering something in her mouth.

"How can you be so good at not giving him food if he doesn't do his homework? How dare you spank him?"

Saying these harsh words, Xia Gongnie's face showed a smile, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The five assassins had never seen Xia Gongnie's face. After hearing Xia Gongnie's words in his dream, they were all stunned for a moment.

What on earth did this girl dream about?
It's just that these dead soldiers are determined, cruel and ruthless people after all, and they don't feel any shame or intolerance because their target is just a little girl.

An assassin stepped forward with a poisoned dagger, while several people behind him guarded him.If the guards outside the palace notice something unusual and rush into the palace, they can also delay time.

These people have a clear division of labor, clever methods, and are determined to die.Don't take the head and never retreat.

The dagger with a cold light approached little by little towards Xia Gongni who was sleeping, but she suddenly didn't realize it.

Dark clouds covered the moon in the sky, and the scene in the palace suddenly became dark.

The four assassins behind them saw a claw mark flashing in front of Xia Gong's nirvana bed in the darkness, followed by a muffled groan.

The dark clouds turned and the moonlight spread over the earth again.

When the view in the hall became clear, the dead man who assassinated Xia Gongni had collapsed on the ground like mud, lifeless.

Changshi Jian touched the blood between his fingers and glanced at the four assassins with a pair of sinister eyes.

There was no murderous intent, but the four dead soldiers felt a chill in their bodies, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast in the silent wilderness.

Jian Changshi has been in the Shu Palace for a long time, and no one has ever seen him make a real move.However, in the past 30 years, the situation in Yizhou has changed, but no one has been able to shake Jian Changshi's position in the heart of the former king Xia Yunhua.

He is the last line of defense guarding the Xia family, and the line of defense that reassures Xia Yunhua the most.

There was silence in the hall, and unusual sounds came from outside the hall. The four dead soldiers knew that their time was running out, so they simply swarmed forward.

These dead warriors have made up their mind to advance in four directions. As long as one person succeeds, their goal will be achieved.

With a sneer, Jian Changshi took action.

If time could freeze, we would be able to find that at that moment, the figures of the four assassins were frozen in the air.And Jian Changshi was like a fish swimming in the water. As if time could not limit him, he made several turns in the air and fell down.

Bang bang bang!
The three assassins fell one after another like kites that had lost their strings.Jian Changshi locked the last assassin's neck with one hand and lifted him into the air.

"Who sent you here?"

"Yang Yangxian!" There was a click! Just like breaking a slender chopstick, the last assassin also fell to the ground.

Jian Changshi stood in the hall. Although he looked skinny, he was as strong as a mountain.

It seemed that an abnormality had finally been discovered outside the hall, and Huang Changshi hurried over with his guards.Seeing this scene in the palace, she was shocked and knelt down in front of the Nirvana couch in the Xia Palace.

"My servant neglected my duty and allowed such a young man to sneak into the palace. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

There was a commotion in the hall, and Xia Gongnie sat up with blurred eyes.

"What happened to you?"

Jian Changshi frowned, showing concern on his face, and said to Xia Gongnie.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. They were just a few assassins and have been dealt with now."

If it were an ordinary king, after hearing these words, even if he was not so frightened that he stood up immediately, he would be so frightened that he could not sleep.

But is Xia Gongni an ordinary king?As the great demon king who would stir up the world in the future, after hearing the words of someone who wanted to assassinate her, the little girl rubbed her eyes and said oh.

"Be gentle, don't disturb my sleep!"

After saying that, he continued to lie down.

"."

Xia Gongni fell asleep quickly. After Jian Changshi finished serving, he stood up again and focused his eyes on Huang Changshi.

"Arrest him!"

Although Huang Hao and Jian Changshi are both Zhongchangshi, their status is very different.

The guard who was behind Huang Hao heard Jian Changshi's order and immediately stood up to take it down.

"Jian Changshi, what do you mean? What did I do?"

"Let me ask you, how did the assassin get into the palace?"

Jian Changshi narrowed his eyes and asked.

"What does this assassin have to do with me? Don't slander me."

"Hmph! You still have to argue! The assassin confessed before his death that he was sent by Prime Minister Yang Xian. May I ask, besides you, who else in the inner palace will help these assassins enter the palace?"

"Your Majesty, my slave, has been wronged!"

Huang Hao couldn't please Jian Changshi, but he wanted to alarm Xia Gongnie and get her to intervene.

After all, he was Xia Gongnie's playmate since childhood and they had a deep relationship with him.At this moment, only Xia Gongnie intervened and he could be rescued.

It's a pity that Xia Gongnie fell asleep very soundly.In response to Huang Hao's almost pig-killing howls, she just scratched her little face and tightened the little golden bowl in her hand.

Huang Hao was slapped twice and was quickly taken off by the guards.

At this time, another official in the palace, Qian Hun, came up with a flattering look on his face.

"Jian Changshi, if Yang Xian really wants to assassinate the king, what should we do now?"

"At this moment, Yang Xian is in the Changcejun camp outside the city, and the Qingyu Guard is under his control again. If he really has a disobedient heart, our inner palace guards alone may not be able to withstand his offensive. So be it! You I'll go over and summon the two adults, Yan Yi and Zhang Bo, to the palace. I have something important to discuss with them."

"The slaves obey!"
