Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 11 Assassination
After nightfall, the county magistrate thoughtfully ordered someone to find some handsome men and send them to Li Chengqian himself.

The county magistrate knows what His Highness the Crown Prince likes, so he naturally wants to do what he likes!Send a handsome man to warm the quilt for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Chengqian's face turned green when he saw the handsome man sent by the county magistrate!Immediately, the thunder was furious, and the county magistrate was so scared that he almost lost control of his bladder and bowels.

Du He, Zhao Jie and the others kept holding back their laughter, and they almost didn't get sick.

After Li Chengqian dismissed the county magistrate, he retreated to the left and right, leaving Du He alone to talk in the room.

Li Chengqian had already seen that Du He wanted to ask him something, but he held back all the way, Li Chengqian wanted to see what Du He was going to do.

At this moment, in the dark night, several vigorous black shadows flickered and came towards the inn where Li Chengqian and others were staying.

Under the darkness of night, a black figure flashed past, silently killing all the servants patrolling around the posthouse.

Then throw the body into the darkness so that no one will find it.

After doing this, the night people met, separated again, and continued to sneak towards the posthouse.

"There is an assassin!..." A cry of exclamation broke the silence of the night, followed by the sound of fighting, and the guards of the Eastern Palace and the assassin exchanged hands.

Li Chengqian and Du He were surprised, and Li Chengqian got up to get the sword beside him.

There were footsteps outside the door, Du He stared at the door, and picked up something casually, if the person who came was an assassin, he would try his best to protect the prince.

Li Chengqian held the hilt of the sword tightly with a dignified expression, and the sword slowly came out of his body.

"Prince!" Zhao Jie's voice came from outside the door, and Li Chengqian signaled Du He to open the door.

Du He opened the door a little, and after seeing clearly that the people outside were Zhao Jie and He Gan Chengji, he opened the door.

"What's going on outside?" Li Chengqian asked.

"There was an assassin intending to assassinate the prince, but he has been stopped by the guards of the Eastern Palace. The sound of fighting here will soon alarm the guards in the city."

"The guards in the city will come to rescue you, the prince doesn't have to worry." He Gan Chengji said.

"We must keep alive and find out who is going to assassinate the widow." Li Chengqian said angrily.

In the Gyeonggi territory of the Tang Dynasty, someone dared to assassinate him, the prince of the empire, it was really audacious.

"Your Highness! Do you still need to ask? It must have been sent by the King of Wei. Who else would not want His Highness to return to Chang'an?" Zhao Jie said.

Except for Wei Wang Li Tai, there is really no one else. Once Li Chengqian is assassinated and killed, the favorable candidate to become the prince is Li Tai.

Li Tai has this strength, and also has this motivation, the road to seize the heirloom is full of bloody storms.

Li Chengqian frowned, Li Tai is indeed the best suspect, but is he really so impatient?Had to make such a bad move, even assassination was used.

What Li Chengqian cares about now is not who is the mastermind, but how to keep Hegan Chengji here forever.

Qi Wang Li You may be captured at any time, escorted to Beijing for trial, and Hegan Chengji will definitely be involved at that time.

There is not much time left for Li Chengqian, and he must take this opportunity tonight to get rid of the traitor Hegan Chengji.

After Li Chengqian was reborn, he found that he had inherited everything from his predecessor, even martial arts without reservation. Perhaps this is the benefit of the time traveler.

Although Li Chengqian's martial arts is not as good as Hegan Chengji's, but when Hegan Chengji relaxes his vigilance, he can still be successful in black hands.

"Bang!" A startled sound pulled Li Chengqian back, and when he looked up, the downstairs was in a mess. A guard of the Eastern Palace was lying on the ground, dead or alive.

Two black-clothed men rushed in from outside the posthouse and rushed upstairs, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and Hegan Chengji immediately went up to meet them, fighting with the two assassins.

Du He took a step forward to protect Li Chengqian behind him. Although Zhao Jie was quite frightened, he still trembled and stood with Du He, forming a human wall for Li Chengqian.

If Hegan Chengji couldn't stop the assassins, they would fight desperately for a little time for the prince to escape.

Hegan Chengji fought hard to be injured, beheaded the two assassins under the sword, and then came to Li Chengqian's side.

"Your Highness!"

"Hegan Chengji, are you okay!" Zhao Jie said.

"A little injury is not a problem!" He Gan Chengji said.

Suddenly, a flash of sword light flashed, and the sword pierced Hegan Chengji's heart. Li Chengqian took advantage of Hegan Chengji's unpreparedness against him, and shot Hegan Chengji.

The sword was pulled out, and hot blood gushed out from Hegan Chengji's chest and splashed on the three of Li Chengqian.

When he was dying, Hegan Chengji stabbed Li Chengqian with a sword. He didn't understand why the crown prince wanted to kill him.

But this is not important anymore, anyway, he Gan Chengji can't live anymore, even if he dies, he will drag the crown prince's back.

If he can't survive, he can't let Li Chengqian, who killed him, live. Anyway, he can't survive, so he doesn't care if the other party is the prince or not.

Li Chengqian immediately took a step back, blocked Hegan Chengji's attack with the sword in his hand, took the opportunity to go further, and repaired Hegan Chengji's body with another sword.

He Gan Chengji's pupils dilated, his body softened to the ground, he just opened his eyes wide, and swallowed his breath in resignation.

"Prince, why are you doing this?" Zhao Jie looked in disbelief, why did the prince kill his confidant.

"Hegan Chengji colluded with the thieves, intending to plot against the widow, and now he has been killed by the widow." Li Chengqian said.

He had to admit Hegan Chengji's crimes, and killing him would be justified, otherwise, he, Li Chengqian, would kill indiscriminately.

As a prince, he can't follow the law and kill people casually.

As for the investigation by the higher authorities, Li Chengqian is not worried that he will be found. Anyway, Hegan Chengji is dead, and there is no proof of his death.

Even if something is really found out, at most it will be found on Qi Wang Li You, who told them to collude secretly.

"Yes! I saw with my own eyes that Hegan Chengji wanted to assassinate the crown prince!" Du He nodded and said.

Zhao Jie nodded, agreeing with the two of them, although he didn't believe that Hegan Chengji would have anything to do with tonight's assassination.

Once Hegan Chengji died, even if Hegan Chengji was involved in Li You's treason case, he no longer had to worry about implicating him.

The death of Hegan Chengji solved the crisis of his being deposed.

"Go! Let's go down and have a look!" Li Chengqian said.

The sound of fighting outside had stopped, and the assassins outside had either been wiped out or had escaped.

The immediate danger was over, Du He and Zhao Jie accompanied Li Chengqian to the outside of the post house, the surroundings were in a mess, and there were many corpses lying on the ground.

Most of the corpses belonged to the guards of the Eastern Palace, but the body of the man in black was not seen. The guards in the city were cleaning the battlefield.

When the county magistrate learned that the prince was assassinated, he hurried to the posthouse to plead guilty. Li Chengqian didn't see him, so he asked Du He to send a message to the county magistrate, and then sent him away.
