Li Ke went out of the alley, and after walking not far, he saw the flames flickering in front of him.He stopped where he was, fully alert, and listened quietly.There were many people in front, and the sound of horseshoes came from the front. He wanted to hide but it was too late, when he heard someone shout, "It's Your Highness, Commander Chen, Your Highness is here."

Hearing this voice, Li Ke was sure it was from the Han Palace, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the guards shouted, Chen Qi, Wang Zhongchang, Zhu Tong, Hou Hu and Meng Shan got off their horses and ran over with everyone, including Su Dingfang.As soon as Su Dingfang and Chen Qi and the others came to Li Ke, they knelt down immediately, "The last general has neglected his duty, please punish him, Your Highness."

Li Ke saw Chen Qi and Yingwei in front of him, as well as Su Dingfang and his wolf cavalry. At this moment, he felt at ease. He felt a burning pain in his left arm, and his head began to feel a little dizzy, so he groaned.Su Dingfang had narrow eyes and saw the blood on Li Ke's left arm. He hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then asked the wolf riding guards to take out a handkerchief and give Li Ke a simple bandage.Only then did Li Ke come back to his senses.

Seeing that Li Ke was not seriously injured, Su Dingfang asked, "Your Highness, who injured your arm?"

"Qian Ning." Li Ke said wearily, and then said to Chen Qi and the others, "Get up, I don't blame you, let's go back home."

However, Li Ke took a few steps and turned his head to see that Chen Qiwu and the Eagle Guards were all kneeling on the spot.Li Ke asked strangely, "What are you kneeling for? You haven't returned home yet."

Seeing Chen Qidao, "I implore Your Highness to allow Chen Qi to lead the Eagle Guards to search, and he will surely be smashed into pieces." Chen Qi said bitterly.

"Get up and go back to the mansion." Li Ke said sternly, "You are not allowed to mention this matter again, you know?" After speaking, he got on the green horse with the support of Su Dingfang without looking back.

Chen Qi and the other five couldn't vent their hatred for Qian Ning, so they could only follow behind Li Ke repressedly.

When I returned to the mansion, I found that the Juyi Hall was crowded with people, and all the people who were supposed to come were there, and they were all Li Ke's confidantes.As soon as Li Ke sat down, the doctor in the mansion came over to check Li Ke's body.The doctor looked at Li Ke's wound, cleaned and bandaged him, and then said, "Your Highness just lost a lot of blood, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

At the moment when the doctor checked Li Ke's body, Su Dingfang simply told everyone about Li Ke's assassination, and everyone's hearts fell.

Li Ke looked at their expressions of concern for him, "I'm fine, everyone, go back and rest."

Ma Zhou and the others saw that Li Ke was not seriously injured and there was nothing serious, so they suppressed their doubts for the time being, and left without delaying Li Ke's rest.

The next day, the whole city of Chang'an knew the news that Han Wang Li Ke had been assassinated last night.Moreover, the murderer turned out to be the imperial court who invaded Qian Ning and established the remnant party.

In the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, the topic of conversation has shifted from Cuju to the assassination of the King of Han.Many people were resentful about this matter, and even a few bold people even went to the Chang'an County Yamen to try their best to catch the murderer, making Deng Tongda, who was still handling official documents in place of the county magistrate, dumbfounded.Can Channing be taken casually?If Chang'an County really has the ability to arrest him and bring him to justice, it won't use the court's manpower.

Concubine Yang, who lived in Qianqiu Hall, knew that Li Ke had been assassinated, and hurried out of the palace with the imperial physician to visit Li Ke at the Palace of the King of Han. Seeing that Li Ke was only injured on his left arm, there was no serious problem, so she went back with peace of mind.

Li Shimin, who was discussing the government affairs with the ministers in the Hall of Liangyi, was furious when Wang De quietly told him about Li Ke's assassination, and knocked over the hot tea on the case table with one sleeve.Frightened, Fang Xuanling and the others who were sitting below discussing the issue with him stood up and hurriedly apologized.

"The Jiancheng Remnant Party is too rampant. They went to Chang'an to assassinate my son." Li Shimin said angrily, "Changsun Wuji, how did you become a general of Zuo Wuhou when such a thing happened? En?"

It was the first time Li Shimin questioned Changsun Wuji like this, which made Changsun Wuji a little inappropriate.Suddenly, he found a trace of killing intent in Li Shimin's eyes, and his heart trembled.Finally, he realized that although they had a long relationship with him, after all, they were just courtiers, just friends, and it was impossible for them to be as close as Li Ke and Li Tai were Li Shimin's sons.Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji hurriedly knelt down and said, "I also ask the emperor to make amends." He didn't know exactly what happened, so he could only apologize first.

Li Shimin glanced at the grandson Wuji who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Since I ascended the throne, you moved to General Zuo Wuhou to take charge of Datang's intelligence work. You know the main purpose of entrusting this right to you, but, you see Look at you, what have you done today? Qian Ning is still at large, and even went to Chang'an City to stop my son from being killed." Li Shimin glanced at everyone when he said this, "Could it be that my son is so easy to kill? Are people being assassinated again and again? What is Datang's comfort system 'Tang' doing?"

It was the first time Li Shimin was so angry since Xuanwumen, making the elder grandson Wuji who was kneeling on the ground and a group of courtiers standing on the ground dare not look at him, and bowed their heads in silence.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated." Li Shimin said seriously, "Also, from today onwards, if my prince lives outside the palace, each person will have 300 more guards."

"No." Feng Deyi replied.

"That's the end of today's discussion!" Li Shimin stabilized his mood and said, "You all follow me to the Han Palace to see how Li Ke's injury is doing."

Li Shimin didn't explain, and walked out of Liangyi Hall directly, Fang Xuanling and others followed behind him.And Changsun Wuji got up again after Li Shimin left, and asked in confusion, "Li Ke didn't kill Qian Ning? Hey! Could it be that I overestimated his strength?" Thinking of this, he shook his head without saying a word, stepped forward, and followed behind Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin's carriage arrived at the King of Han's mansion, Fang Xuanling, Feng Deyi and others heard the news of Li Ke's assassination last night from the left and right, and said in their hearts, "No wonder the emperor is so angry. This is the second time that the King of Han has been assassinated." Being assassinated, it would be strange not to be angry when encountering such a thing."

Li Ke was lying on the bed and having sex with Lan Er, talking about some hooligans to tease Lan Er.Then I heard Wang De's shrill voice shout, "The emperor is here."

Li Ke was startled. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Li Shimin walking in in court clothes. Seeing that Li Ke's left arm was wrapped in gauze, he said concernedly, "If you're injured, you don't need to salute. Is the injury serious?"

Li Ke said emotionally, "Thank you, Father, for your concern. The superficial injury is nothing serious."

Seeing Li Ke downplaying his appreciation so lightly, Li Shimin suddenly remembered that when he was marching and fighting in the past, he often downplayed his injuries after being injured. Seeing this son with the same strong character as himself, he laughed. , "It's good that you're fine. Father heard that you were injured and came over to take a look. Since there is nothing serious, father is relieved."

Then, Li Shimin asked again, "Are you really sure that it was Qian Ning who assassinated you?"

Li Ke then described Qian Ning's appearance to Li Shimin. Qian Ning had been by Li Jiancheng's side for a long time, and Li Shimin was no stranger to him.Therefore, once Li Ke talked about Qian Ning's appearance, Li Shimin no longer doubted it.Then, he asked about the specific process, and Li Ke answered him one by one. Li Shimin heard Li Ke and Qian Ning's fight to the death, and couldn't help admiring his bravery and ambition, and at the same time warned him not to take such risks in the future. He has increased the guards of the Han Palace to 800, which made Li Ke very happy.

Then, it was Feng Deyi, Fang Xuanling and others who asked about Li Ke's injury one by one, and then followed Li Shimin and left the Han Palace.After Li Shimin left, Li Ke was very happy.It's okay for him to be injured a little, but more than 300 guards have been replaced, which has increased his strength a lot.Moreover, Li Ke lied to Li Shimin about how he escaped under Qian Ning's hands.He said that Qian Ning ran away after hearing Su Dingfang's hooves and knowing that he could not kill Li Ke.

Li Shimin knew how powerful Qian Ning was, so when Li Ke said this, he had no doubts.

Lan'er looked at Li Ke with a smirk on his face, and said suddenly, "Your Highness, what did the Emperor tell you? Are you still happy when you're injured?"

When Li Ke heard Lan'er's words, he was so angry, why does this little girl always pay attention to herself, no expression can escape her eyes, and said angrily, "Why are you a girl asking all kinds of things? Stay aside."

After hearing Li Ke's words that didn't hurt or itch, Lan'er felt very wronged, and quietly walked out of Li Ke's room.

During the few days when Li Ke was recovering from his injuries, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li You and others all came to see him at the Palace of the King of Han.However, they are clearly brothers, but everyone knows what is thinking in their hearts.Therefore, the content of the conversation is very unnutritious, so they don't stay long.On the contrary, a group of Li Ke's sworn brothers often came to see him, which made him not so boring while recuperating from his injuries.
