Chapter 436

Shi Xiaorui also wondered why the emperor had not put the capital under martial law until now.

Generally, the assassin will retreat quickly after successful assassination. He can run as far as he can. Lu Xun can't run away and has to stay.

After nearly a day, I searched the capital again, and I knew with my fingers that the possibility of catching the assassin was infinite and close to zero.

There's another thing that Shi Xiaorui can't figure out. She just finished writing the letter. Shen Shen doesn't look unhappy. She can't help but ask, "when you retreated last night, didn't the pursuers take advantage of the victory to pursue you, so they let you go?"

Shen Shen said, "you don't care what you do. After the letter is written, I'll send it back. You don't have to worry about it at night. Have a good sleep."

Shen Shen takes Shi Xiaorui's letter, turns around and returns to Lu Xun's room.

Lu Xun was still lying on the bed. Although he closed his eyes, he didn't feel sleepy. He heard the sound of heavy footsteps and didn't open his eyes. He asked, "has she finished the letter?"

Shen Shen replied, "it's done. Will the LORD have a look? "

Lu Xun said: "if you look at it, it's OK. I won't look at it. Now that I've agreed, if the letter is OK, I'll send it back. It's just on the way to get some information. "

Shen Shen should come down. Just as he was about to leave, Lu Xun stopped him again: "have you found out the clue now? When we retreated last night, whose man was it that intercepted us? "

After Lu Xun woke up, he kept reviewing yesterday's action in his mind and calculating the emperor's possible response. He lost too much blood and soon began to have a headache. He could only pause and think for a while intermittently. He could not guess the emperor's response. The emperor was a strange flower, and it was nothing to guess, but there were always several doubtful points in his action last night.

Last night's assassination was instigated by someone else. The secret road drawing for entering the palace was also provided by the other party. Lu Xun thought this idea was unreliable, but after his death, he was already a little crazy. He thought it was a good idea and insisted on sending someone to do it.

Lu Xun had no choice but to volunteer and lead the team to the capital to do this dangerous operation.

Chen Wang originally refused to let Lu Xun come, but he really refused to give up the assassination. In the end, he was convinced by Lu Xun and sneaked into the capital with a group of elite soldiers.

After entering the capital, the man who gave Chen Wang a plan for his assassination kept in touch with Lu Xun and gave him a lot of information, most of which were correct.

An hour before the action, the other party brought a new message, saying that the emperor should go to Princess Qian's palace for the night, and also kindly brought the route map from the diligence hall where the emperor lived to Yongcui palace where Princess Qian lived.

There are, of course, maps of the palace. King Chen himself grew up in the palace. After the emperor ascended the throne, it was impossible to demolish all the palaces and rebuild them. Therefore, the changes to the palace would not be big. When he left, King Chen drew a map of the palace to Lu Xun. Lu Shao called Shen Shen and another Commander. After the three of them memorized the layout of the palace, Lu Xun burned the drawing.

At this time, the man was so enthusiastic about providing outside assistance, but Lu Xun was cautious and didn't completely trust each other. After entering the palace from the secret Road, he first went to the diligence hall where the emperor lived, and found that no one was there, so he changed his way to Yongcui Palace, where the emperor was not here.

At that time, the time had been a little long, and could be found at any time.

Lu Xun is not willing to return without success. After thinking about it, he takes people to the Jinsheng palace where the princes live.

Jinsheng palace was not used to live exclusively for princes. When the first emperor was here, princes would get married as soon as they reached adulthood. Besides the prince, they would either move out of the palace or go directly to their own fiefdoms. They would never stay in the palace, let alone set up a palace.

However, it was convenient for Lu Xun. After all, only the princes lived in Jinsheng palace. The guard level was not high, and the force value was low. At that time, it was easy for Lu Xun to lose his mind and doze off at night. Lu Xun and others killed all the princes who lived in Jinsheng palace one by one.

He is still in his heart. Unfortunately, the young princes all live with their mothers. The place is too scattered. It's too late for him to kill all the emperor's sons. It's estimated that King Chen will be happier than he really killed the Emperor himself.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, only hate the emperor's son too much, can't let him really taste the same pain of losing a son as king Chen.

Shen Shen was silent for a while and said, "it's not the guards of the Imperial Palace who are chasing us. When we came out of Jinsheng palace yesterday, we should have lost the guards. At that time, in the dead of night, we were quiet and quiet. Jinsheng palace was far away from other palaces. Normally, if no one ran to warn us, it would not immediately attract attention. That group of people came out of the blue, as if they knew we would retreat from there and were waiting for us

They had a shallow foundation in the capital, and they were slow to collect information, and the quality of the information was uneven, which required careful screening. So when they went to the capital to assassinate the emperor, they had to rely on the information given by the other party even if they didn't know the purpose of the person who gave advice to King Chen.

Shen Shen has never been idle since Lu Xun was seriously injured yesterday and dragged him back to this village. In addition, he does not dare to rush out to inquire about the news, so he can only think about what happened last night over and over again.

And then he found out.

He thought that when he and others were retreating, he was discovered by the imperial guards. In addition, the night was dark and windy, and he was in a panic. Fortunately, at that time, everyone's nerves were tense, and they were defeated without a face-to-face meeting. Although the people brought with them were inevitably injured, most of them were successfully evacuated.

However, the people who stopped them did not love to fight. They chased them out for about a mile, and then they withdrew. Otherwise, Lu Xun would not be able to leave smoothly if he was so seriously injured.

If the Imperial Guard really chased him out, in any case, he would have pursued him.

In addition, there was no movement in the capital today, and there was no clear news from the emperor. The more Shen thought about it, the more he felt that the people who killed them that day should not be under the emperor's command.

Lu Xun listened to his analysis, nodded slightly and said: "I have been thinking about what the purpose of this man has been secretly urging his father to assassinate the emperor. If we succeeded in killing the emperor last night, there would be a lot of people who could benefit from it. Not to mention anything else, the emperor has so many grown-up princes that most of them are suspected. Yesterday, I went to Jinsheng Palace on the spur of the moment. I should not have been expected by the other party. If it was someone behind an adult prince who planned this, he would be stealing chicken this time. "
