Sima Lan is getting older and has more things to think about. He sleeps very late every day in Beijing, but now in Pinglin, he naturally sleeps even later.

However, the years are not forgiving, and the energy is far less than before. In the middle of the night, when I was sitting in the tent, I was drowsy and asleep, and the soldiers guarding the door didn’t dare to wake up until I heard an urgent cry, Sima. Lan woke up with a start, and when he opened his eyes, there were several more people in the tent.

Sima Lan suddenly felt a little unhappy.

When he took it alone, he never liked someone to enter without notice. Although he had seen that these people were all his trusted ministers, his face was still ugly.

Seeing Sima Lan awake, someone had handed a hot towel beside him. Sima Lan took the towel and wiped his face. Only then did he realize that the few people who came in were all solemn, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, and frowned: ” What happened?”

“Yes…Emperor!” Huangfuzheng stepped forward and whispered: “Guo Gong, the emperor has been assassinated!”

“Assassinated?” Sima Lan was startled for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up and said, “Where was the assassination? How is the emperor now?”

Huangfuzheng said softly: “Just now, Eunuch Liu sent someone to report, but he didn’t dare to wake up when he saw that Eunuch Guo was sleeping, because the tent of Xiaguan was nearby, so he went to report to Xiaguan.” After a pause, he continued. Said: “Half an hour ago, the emperor returned to the big tent. Eunuch Liu sent someone to say that the emperor seemed to be injured.”

“What time is it now?” Sima Lan asked in a deep voice.

Chen Lanting said aside: “It’s time to be ugly.”

“When you’re ugly…!” Sima Lan frowned and said, “Didn’t the emperor go hunting at night? Why was he injured?”

“It is said that he encountered an assassin in an ambush in the forest.” Huangfuzheng said in a low voice: “The emperor was shot with an arrow, but the injury was not serious, but only scratched some flesh.”

“Assassin?” Sima Lan realized that the situation was not right: “Pinglin has already cleaned it up, where did the assassins come from ambush? Can the assassins be caught?”

Huangfu Zhengdao: “I heard that almost all of the assassins have been killed. One assassin was injured and brought back. Now it is in the hands of the guards, and the guards are interrogating them.”

Sima Lan narrowed his eyes, the lights flickered, he pondered for a moment, and then said, “This old man is going to see the emperor.” Going straight to the outside of the tent, Huangfuzheng stopped and said, “Gong Gong, wait!”

Sima Lan stopped and turned around. Huangfuzheng stepped forward and said: “Guo Gong, the emperor has mobilized his troops and has blocked the camp. All officials are not allowed to enter or leave without authorization. guilt.”

Sima Lan’s eyes showed a look of surprise, and immediately walked out of the tent, looked around, only to see that around the camp, a few officials had come out of the tent, and they were whispering to each other.

With a solemn expression, Sima Lan walked towards the direction of the emperor’s tent. Huangfuzheng and others followed behind. Sure enough, after walking for a while, he saw officers and soldiers holding spears and knives, surrounding the outer circle of the camp.

Sima Lan stepped forward, the soldiers immediately saluted, Sima Lan glanced at it, and said solemnly: “What are you doing?”

When he saw a general running to the side, he saluted Sima Lan and said, “Guo Gong, the emperor has been assassinated. In order to prevent the assassin from sneaking into the camp and hurting the ministers, the emperor has a decree to strictly protect this place.”

Sima Lan nodded slightly and walked forward. The general raised his hand and said, “Guo Gong, you…!”

“You are so bold, how dare you stop the Duke!” An official behind Sima Lan shouted, “How many heads have you grown?”

That part will be: “Guo Gong, the emperor has a will, in order to ensure everyone’s safety, no one is allowed to leave this place without authorization, Guo Gong, you…!”

Sima Lan sneered and stared at the general. The general lowered his head, obviously fearful. Sima Lan didn’t talk nonsense. The knife came out and blocked the way, Huangfu Zheng said angrily: “Get out of the way!”

The general said solemnly, “Are you lords going to resist the decree?

Those who disobey the Holy Order will be killed without forgiveness!

“Although he didn’t dare to stop Sima Lan, he was rude to the ministers.

Sima Lan turned around and said, “You guys are waiting here.”

Sima Lan walked all the way to the emperor’s camp. Before he got close to the emperor’s tent, he felt that the atmosphere was serious. A large number of soldiers were guarding around the camp. Looking at the armor and attire, they were all officers and soldiers of the Royal Guard.

He hesitated for a while, and felt that something was wrong, but he still walked into the camp. Duke Zhen Guo entered the camp, but no one dared to stop him. Until he got to the emperor’s tent, he saw Chi Fengdian standing in front of the tent door, pressing his hand on the tent. The hilt of the saber at the waist.

Seeing Sima Lan coming, Chi Fengdian took a few steps forward to greet him, cupped his hands and said, “The humble general will pay a visit to the Duke!”

“How is the emperor now?” Sima Lan asked, “I heard that the emperor was assassinated while hunting, what happened?”

Chi Fengdian hesitated for a moment, before he stopped talking, Sima Lan’s face sank, and Chi Fengdian hurriedly said: “Reporting to the prince, tonight the emperor has a sudden interest and wants to go hunting in the forest, and both the general and Chu Cangge will accompany him. Drive. Entering the forest, the emperor went into the depths of the forest in order to chase an elk, and was suddenly injured by an assassin who was lying in ambush in the forest. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise…!”

“Why are there assassins in the forest?” Sima Lan frowned and said, “You are responsible for protecting the Sage, but you let the Sage be stabbed. Do you know the crime?”

“Guo Gong, Chu Cangge was by the emperor’s side at that time.” Chi Fengdian’s eyes became cold: “Chu Cangge claims to be familiar with hunting and is good at finding traces of prey. He led the emperor into the depths of the woods… .!”

Sima Lan’s face changed slightly, he looked around, and asked, “Where is Chu Cangge?”

“We are also looking for him.” Chi Fengdian’s voice was cold: “We arrived in time and immediately chased down those assassins. Chu Cangge and a few guards stayed by the emperor’s side to protect them. I thought it was safe, but… ..We didn’t expect that Chu Cangge had hidden evil intentions and suddenly attacked the emperor.”

Sima Lan’s face changed greatly, his body shook violently, and he said sharply: “What did you say? Chu Cangge… assassinating the emperor?”

Chi Fengdian didn’t answer right away, he pondered for a while before saying: “The emperor knows that the old guild is coming, the emperor is raising him, and decrees that no one will be seen for the time being, but if the old lord comes, Lingbei will bring the old guild. to see something.”

“what?”

Chi Fengdian raised his hand and said, “Your Highness, please!” No nonsense, he walked up and walked away. Sima Lan looked solemn and suspicious in his eyes. After hesitating for a while, he still followed behind Chi Fengdian and walked away. Going to a small tent on the side, Chi Fengdian opened the tent door, Sima Lan entered the tent, and there were two fire pillars erected in the house, which were very bright. On the mat, there was obviously one person lying on the mat, but it was covered with a black cloth.

Chi Fengdian followed, and Sima Lan glanced at him and asked, “Who is this?”

Chi Fengdian cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, the humble general dares to ask, have you ever heard of the saying of ten swords and five swords?”

“Ten swords and five knives?” Sima Lan didn’t understand why Chi Fengdian suddenly mentioned this at this time, nodding and saying, “I have heard a little about it. It is rumored that there are ten famous swords in the world, Tianzhu is the first, and there are five Famous sword, Kunwu is the first, Chi Fengdian, why do you mention this?”

“The prince naturally knows that among the five famous knives, the second-ranked sword is called the Inu God Knife!” Chi Fengdian looked like a torch, and said solemnly: “And the current owner of the Inu God Knife is Chu Cangge!”

Sima Lan’s brows tightened, but he still nodded and said, “Yes, the God of Dog Sword is indeed in Chu Cangge’s hands.”

Chi Fengdian walked to the edge of the mat, crouched down, and said, “This man is one of the guards who accompanied him tonight, his name is Liang Xiong, he is thirty-one years old, and has been in the guards for four years. The background files can be found in the Guards and the Ministry of War.”

Sima Lan frowned and said, “Liang Xiong? He… is dead?”

Chi Fengdian lifted the black turban, and Sima Lan suddenly smelled a rather strong smell of blood. He couldn’t help raising his hand to cover his nose and approached. The corpse was wearing hunting clothes. It was indeed a middle-aged man. Down, there is a knife mark on the neck of the corpse, which is clearly visible and very conspicuous.

“This is…?” Sima Lan vaguely guessed something.

Chi Fengdian covered the corpse with a black cloth and said, “The Canine God Sword ranks second among the five famous swords, it is extremely sharp, and it is a first-class weapon. This weapon is naturally and ordinary. Different products, the cut edge is also easy to identify.”

“Is this person killed by Chu Cangge?” Sima Lan said coldly.

Chi Fengdian nodded and said, “Exactly. When I was waiting for the assassin, Chu Cangge suddenly attacked the emperor, and the guards guarding the emperor tried their best to protect the emperor. We heard the movement and immediately returned to help. We have already killed Liang Xiong, we know that he is good at martial arts, and used arrows to deal with it, but Chu Cangge was mad and used Liang Xiong’s corpse as a shield to resist.”

Sima Lan frowned and said, “Where is Chu Cangge now?”

“This person is very cunning and escaped in the chaos. The emperor has issued an order to dispatch people to search.” Chi Fengdian raised his hand and asked Sima Lan to get out of the tent, and then continued: “This autumn hunt, but encountering such a thing, the emperor was furious. , the decree is to find the real culprit and punish them severely.”

“The real murderer?” Sima Lan’s eyes twitched.

Chi Fengdian said: “Pinglin is heavily guarded, why were the assassins able to sneak in? When did they sneak in? Tonight, the emperor was hunting at night, did they happen to meet them, or did they know about it beforehand, so they were ambushed in the woods? These assassins Who sent it, and why did you have to assassinate the emperor?” After a pause, he continued: “Chu Cangge is the commander of the Black Sabre Battalion, and he is deeply favored by the emperor, but why did he take the opportunity to assassinate the emperor? Check it out.”

Sima Lan’s face became ugly, and he stared at Chi Fengdian, but Chi Fengdian did not look at him, and continued: “The emperor went hunting tonight, and did not tell the adults, it is reasonable to say that no one will know in advance and then follow up. An ambush is set up, but if someone around the emperor leaks the rumors and the emperor’s whereabouts are known, it is very possible to set up an ambush in advance.” He sneered: “The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of the eunuchs around him, look. Did these eunuchs leak the news, and if so, who did they leak the news to?”
