The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 194 Assassination from the Imperial Court

When Jiang Jin came in, there was another person with him. Liu Zhenhua also had an impression of this person. When he took Heshui, this person killed ten people alone.

This man also behaved very well when he met him after the war.

Later, Liu Zhenhua was directly appointed as the squad leader.

It seemed that he had arrived at Jiang Jin's platoon.

"What's the matter with me?" Liu Zhenhua looked at Jiang Jin and Li Zi who were kneeling on the ground.

"Report to the Kitchen King, Li Zi said, there is important information, and it belongs to people in the palace."

Jiang Jin said in a somewhat uncertain tone. His subordinates usually serve as squad leaders together with their soldiers, so why would there be any news about people from the palace?

Could it be that his relatives were in the palace, or was there someone from the palace in the team?

Jiang Jin didn't think much about this. After all, there were many people from the palace in the Kitchen King's team, and there was also a high official.

For example, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces.

That's the governor of the five provinces.

"Sure enough, the gun is fast from seven steps away, and the gun is fast and accurate within seven steps."

"boom."

Fortunately, thank you that he didn't use a knife to counterattack, otherwise he would definitely fall here today. This man would not give King Qin the opportunity to circumvent the pillar like Jing Ke.

"Yes."

If it hits, it will kill him with one blow and there will be no possibility of survival.

"Ah, this," Jiang Jin's heart thumped.

Outside, Zhang Liang and Jiang Jin rushed in at the same time. At this time, Li Zi had fallen to the ground weakly, and a dagger came out of his hand.

Liu Zhenhua leaned forward slightly, showing a very interested look.

He couldn't remember it for a while, so he stood up slightly, put one hand behind his back, and slowly came to Li Zi.

"Kitchen King!"

The three of them responded and then walked out of the government office.

"You guys go down first."

Liu Zhenhua gasped for breath. No wonder this scene was so familiar. Wasn't this Jing Ke stabbing the King of Qin? Tu Qiong saw that this man didn't even wait for him to open the scroll before he stabbed him directly.

An alarm bell rang in Liu Zhenhua's heart, and he suddenly pulled out the hand behind his back.

Liu Zhenhua noticed his expression, his eyes stayed on Jiang Jin, and then glanced at the two maids around him.

At such a close distance, Li Zi had already sentenced the Kitchen King to death in his heart. There was no way he would miss, and the Kitchen King didn't even have time to pull out the knife from his waist.

The dagger flashed with green light, and it was obviously smeared with poison, most likely the kind of poison that seals the throat upon seeing blood.

"Oh?"

Li Zi lowered his head, his eyes flickered, sweat dripped from his back, but he remained calm on the surface.

A huge official position.

Liu Zhenhua looked at Li Zi.

"Grass."

Li Zi didn't even say "die", without any unnecessary words or actions, the dagger in his hand was thrust straight into Liu Zhenhua's neck. He wanted to kill him with one blow, because Liu Zhenhua's previous grasp of the bow and arrow with his bare hands impressed Li Zi deeply.

"Why, you don't dare to say anything about this person?"

Zhang Liang also looked at Jiang Jin, who brought the plums in.

Jiang Jin always felt a little weird. He turned around and glanced at Li Zi. What kind of medicine was this guy selling in his gourd? He wanted to guard against him and these maids.

Liu Zhenhua had returned to his calm demeanor. He waved his hand, but one hand was still behind his back, "It doesn't matter, this person should be a spy of the imperial court, and he wants to take advantage of the opportunity of presenting the book to assassinate me."

He was actually caught by this kid.

However, Liu Zhenhua suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

When Liu Zhenhua was less than a step closer to him, Li Zi suddenly pulled out one side of the scroll, and a dagger appeared in Li Zi's hand.

Therefore, this blow was directed towards the neck.

Liu Zhenhua was a little surprised. Could it be that the person in the palace was Emperor Chongzhen?

But how did this kid know.

There was a look of disbelief on Li Zi's face, and a bloody hole on his forehead was very eye-catching.

Liu Zhenhua waved his hand. He didn't know what the news was that made this man so cautious, but Liu Zhenhua did think that something was wrong with this man's behavior at the beginning.

"Kitchen King, are you okay?" Jiang Jin and Zhang Liang stepped forward with concern on their faces. Liu Zhenhua seemed to be holding a small blunderbuss in his hand.

"You can talk now."

His weapon, which was less than a foot long, would not be difficult to pull out. What's more, he sensed something was wrong and put one hand behind his back early.

Li Zi looked embarrassed and looked around.

The latter nodded solemnly, then took out a wrapped scroll from his arms and said, "To the Stove King, this is a secret letter seized by my subordinates. The information in it may be related to the palace."

"Tell me."

After Liu Zhenhua heard this, he looked at the scroll again. There were bad guys in the team, and they were secretly exchanging letters. It seemed that Emperor Chongzhen was not idle either and had placed spies around him.

"Zhang Liang, dispose of his body and see if there is anything suspicious."

Liu Zhenhua said, knowing in his heart that this person might not leave any clues, and then he looked at Jiang Jin.

Zhang Liang responded, knowing that the Kitchen King had probably already made up his mind. Then he turned around and stepped on the head of Li Zi's corpse, "You actually assassinated the Kitchen King, bah."

He dragged Li Zi's body outside.

After Zhang Liang left, Jiang Jin knelt on the ground with a plop. He was terrified in his heart. You must know that he had brought Li Zi here.

Who knew that Li Zi was actually a spy sent by the imperial court, and his purpose was to directly assassinate the Stove King!

"Kitchen King, please punish me."

Jiang Jin suddenly knocked his head on the ground, and a bloodstain instantly appeared on the ground.

It can be seen how vigorously he kowtowed. He didn't even make any excuses, nor did he ask for forgiveness from the Stove King.

If the Kitchen King was really stabbed to death, even if he was stabbed, Jiang Jin felt that even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be enough.

His family will not even collect his body for him, and Jiang Jin will be blamed by thousands of people.

"It's okay, this has nothing to do with you, go down."

Liu Zhenhua waved his hand, Jiang Jin didn't know what he was doing.

"Yes"

Jiang Jin didn't dare to say anything. After standing up, he hunched over and retreated to the door before turning around and leaving.

Liu Zhenhua watched Jiang Jin leave, but he was thinking about how many spies there were in his team.

When he first saw this man, he felt that his behavior was a little strange.

The performance was too good and perfect. Liu Zhenhua's thoughts were racing, and he was thinking about how many people were like this person these days.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one person like this. Liu Zhenhua shook his head. The team was too big, and he did not have his own intelligence organization. The scouts could not detect this kind of person.

While Liu Zhenhua was thinking, there was already a frying pan outside.

Someone actually wants to assassinate the Kitchen King. This is already the second time.

The first time, on the wall of Qingyang Mansion, the strong man wanted to shoot the Stove King, but the second time, he actually wanted to assassinate the Stove King directly in the government office.

He was still the Kitchen King's subordinate, their former brother Pao Ze! A dagger coated with poison.

"Bah, what a plum, he didn't realize that this person is a spy sent by the imperial court!"

"Damn it, let me step on you and vent my hatred. The Stove King is so wise and righteous, but he didn't change him, and he still has to sacrifice his life for that dog in court!"

"It's not enough to cut this man into pieces with a thousand swords. Brother Zhang, why do you have to burn his body?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Liang. Although Zhang Liang was just a janitor, they couldn't help but think that Zhang Liang was a janitor for the Stove King!

Therefore, everyone addressed Zhang Liang with honorifics.

"The Stove King has a broad mind. He asked me to dispose of the corpse. Burning it is the first step. It's not impossible to cut him into pieces to vent your hatred, but I have to do it myself." Zhang Liang patted his chest, and he was holding back in his heart. In one breath, with the help of the words of these heavenly soldiers brothers, he was going to cut this man into pieces with a thousand knives.

Anyway, the Kitchen King asked him to dispose of the corpse. Cutting it into pieces was one of the ways to dispose of the corpse. Besides, he touched the corpse all over and found nothing suspicious.

Now it's time to cut him into pieces to see if there's anything hidden inside the body.

"Okay! Brother Zhang, we are watching you."

Everyone shouted excitedly, such a rebellious person should be cut to pieces like this!

"Tell me, are there any spies from the imperial court here?"

The mutilation of corpses has come to an end, and the Kitchen King's soldiers are discussing this topic.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the people around him suddenly became vigilant. The spies sent by the imperial court, who were the enemies of all of them, dared to assassinate the Stove King. Moreover, if the spies were caught, it would be a great achievement. It is estimated that there will be no chance for a while now. The war was a great achievement.

"Hey, look what I'm doing. I've been following the Stove King since he came to Shaanxi." Someone noticed that the people around him were looking at him, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Yeah, then why are you still just a heavenly soldier?"

Someone said, "I have followed the Kitchen King so early, but now I have only become a heavenly soldier."

"You!" The man's face turned even redder. "This shows that the Kitchen King is willing to let others take advantage of him. We are not good at fighting. We have killed three people so far. Naturally, he is just a heavenly soldier."

"Makes sense, makes sense."

The people around echoed.

Although it cannot be said that everyone in the Tianbing Militia and Xiangyong team is in danger, some newcomers and people with unknown origins have been suspected and excluded by everyone.

"Why do these people doubt us? We didn't do anything. Isn't this bullying?"

Li Lei is one of the many newcomers who are doubted and excluded.

He only joined after Kitchen King laid down Heshui, so he was considered a newcomer. After all, Li Zi also showed his head at that time.

Li Lei naturally became one of the objects of suspicion by others.

"I heard it was because of the imperial assassins," the man next to him said in a muffled voice, with the same confusion and grievance on his face.

"How could we be assassins? The Stove King gave us food, clothing, and fields. How many people would become assassins and kill the Stove King?" Li Lei said with some annoyance.

"Hey, that's the truth, but the point is, there's no way we can let others know. We can't show our hearts to others."

This sentence made Li Lei stunned. They couldn't tell. What about the Kitchen King? Doesn't the Kitchen King have magical methods? He said with some uncertainty: "Then you said that the Kitchen King is a fairy and you can't tell who is the assassin." ."

The person standing in front of Li Lei was stunned for a moment, but he quickly responded, "You have forgotten that the Kitchen King's magical power is restored little by little. I heard Mr. Yang said that the previous Kitchen King could not produce so many magical weapons. , Now the magic weapon has changed as if it were free of money, and the food the magic weapon eats, at first it was just white porridge and pickled vegetables, but look at it now, it’s meat and something else.”

"makes sense."

Li Lei squatted on the ground weakly. He had almost heard these stories told by the people around him.

"Dong dong dong, assemble, assemble, the Kitchen King has ordered, assemble."

Suddenly a trumpeter ran wildly, beating gongs and drums and shouting.

Li Lei and the other person quickly got up.

Soon, the soldiers in Qingyang City, except those on duty, stood at the military training ground in Qingyang City.

Their eyes followed the person and horse in front of them, that was the Kitchen King.

Liu Zhenhua looked at these soldiers. He also knew what happened in the barracks in recent days. The assassins still brought some negative effects. Although not everyone in the city was in danger, many people were ostracized.

"Soldiers."

Liu Zhenhua stood in front of the team and roared, his eyes moving on the soldiers.

"exist!"

The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in agreement.

"A few days ago, the imperial court sent assassins to kill me."

Liu Zhenhua pointed at the sky with one hand, "That person's name is Li Zi."

"I gave him the position of squad leader. I thought I could influence him. Who knows, this man is still obsessed with it. Until he took out a dagger, stabbed me and was killed by me."

"I know that these days, some of you have been wronged and suspected by others."

"In this regard, I want to say, let others be suspicious. Just remember that you are working for the Stove King. As long as you have merit and hard work, I will still treat you like family!"

"Like that plum, in the battle of Heshui, he killed ten people and was promoted to squad leader!"

"You don't need to be suspicious. As for the assassin, just let him come and see if he can kill me."

"As long as he doesn't show his murderous intention, he is a soldier under my command! I can't give him up!"

Liu Zhenhua was not sure whether there were any assassins in the team, and the assassins could not be guarded against, because Liu Zhenhua could not search them one by one.

This is how it is easy to dodge an open gun but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

Rather than letting suspicions arise in the team, it is better to say this directly and make everyone think that Liu Zhenhua knows who the assassin is and does not find out who is just to give these assassins a chance to perform meritorious deeds.

"Kitchen King Shengming!"

"Long live the Kitchen King!"

Everyone immediately shouted loudly, with excited expressions on their faces, especially those who had been wronged. The Kitchen King was right, he was wondering what they were doing. Anyway, the assassin couldn't kill the Kitchen King. Isn't that what happened to the plum today? , they just need to train well and perform well.

"Keep training!"

Liu Zhenhua shouted.

"Yes!"

The incident of the imperial assassins is over, at least the team has stabilized.

Just when Liu Zhenhua was considering whether to bloom in multiple lines, he received a letter from Yonghe.
