The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Emperor Xia moved to the royal hunting ground to watch the winter hunting in person. For the sake of safety, the patrol battalion cooperated with the Northwest Camp to strictly control the situation outside the hunting ground to prevent people from intruding and colliding with the holy driver, or even assassinating people with ulterior motives.

Therefore, correspondingly, the vigilance in the city of Kyoto has been relaxed.

As the winter hunting progressed, a caravan of fifty or sixty people escorted the carriage into the southern area of ​​the city, and passed the main street behind King Xian's Mansion. If it were him, this caravan would probably attract the attention of the patrol battalion, but today no one cares about it.

When the caravan stopped at King Xian's Mansion, the leader raised his hand, everyone stopped, and then drew swords from the cloth bag full of carriages!

Immediately afterwards, without talking nonsense, this group of people jumped over the wall and entered Xianwang's mansion directly!

The imperial guards in King Xian's Mansion discovered the enemy and immediately started to fight back. In an instant, there was chaos in King Xian's Mansion!

Jia Xu and Guo Jia were playing chess when they suddenly heard the sound of fighting. A moment later, Li Yuanfang and Li Kui rushed into the hall.

"Two gentlemen, there are assassins rushing into the palace! The imperial army is resisting, but the people who come are all elite warriors. The imperial army may not be able to hold back, so I ask the two gentlemen to quickly hide in the secret room!" Li Yuanfang said.

Jia Xu paused with his beard-stroking hand, and after looking at Guo Jia, he was quite surprised: "Prince Duan actually sent people to attack Xianwang's mansion. Could it be that he intends to make a fuss and deliberately attract Dongshou's attention?"

When Prince Xian's mansion was assassinated and the patrol battalion came to suppress it, the news must have spread to the hunting ground. But this process takes time, it's not very clever for Duan Wang to use this trick to make a lot of noise!

Guo Jia thought of another possibility, and said in surprise, "Perhaps we are the ones King Duan wants to kill!"

Jia Xu also realized this possibility!

"Your Highness participated in the Winter Hunting, took Dian Wei and Yang Youji away, Li Xiuer was imprisoned suddenly, and sent away Wu Zhanfa, Lu Xian, and Wei Guang. Now there are fewer masters in the mansion. It seems that King Duan really wants to kill us. !" Jia Xu couldn't help but praised: "Wang Duan's scheme is so deep, we have all been deceived!"

Guo Jia nodded. The two of them only considered Xiao Rui's safety, but they didn't expect that they would be the target of the attack.

In fact, this is very easy to understand, capture the king first when catching a thief, poke the eye first when fighting, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are Xiao Rui's think tanks, they advise Xiao Rui better than thousands of troops, Xiao Feng naturally understands this truth! So I wanted to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia for a long time.

Seeing that the two gentlemen were still talking, Li Yuanfang hurriedly said: "Two gentlemen, hurry up and enter the secret room. If something happens to you two, His Highness must be extremely anxious!"

Guo Jia was not worried, and said with a smile: "I guess King Duan must have bought people from the patrol battalion, and would send false news to the hunting ground. Once the news of our assassination is sent back to the hunting ground, His Highness will be aware of the fraud, but in order to For our safety, we must personally bring people back to the city! This is King Duan taking advantage of His Highness's benevolence! Yuan Fang, you hurry to the north gate, you can't let His Highness go back to the city!"

Li Yuanfang hurriedly said: "I can't go! Although there are a large number of forbidden troops in the mansion, these assassins are highly skilled in martial arts. I must first ensure the safety of the two gentlemen! Otherwise, His Highness will chop me up!"

"Yuanfang, is the Xianwang Mansion where assassins can come and leave whenever they want? Don't worry about the safety of Fengxiao and me. Have you forgotten that there is a Yang organization?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Only then did Li Yuanfang realize that, yes, His Highness asked Zhong Ling and Wu Yazi to prepare their hands and hide in the dark.

"I understand!" Li Yuanfang nodded, and then warned Li Kui to protect Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and he immediately left Xianwang Mansion.

What Li Yuanfang didn't expect was that he had just left the palace and rode to the north city gate when he was suddenly attacked by an ambushing assassin!

After Li Yuanfang left, Jia Xu came to his senses and said, "It's broken, King Duan must set up an ambush halfway to ambush Li Yuanfang, lest we tip off the news!"

Guo Jia nodded, and said: "It seems that King Duan's schemes are closely linked, and he has thought of everything that may be thought of. King Duan is indeed more cunning than we imagined!"

...

At the same time, in the hunting ground.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yiheng searched for clues, and soon found the traces left by the guards around Xiao Jing, and then the two chased after the traces. It didn't take long before they found Xiao Jing's figure in a forest. He was leading four Guard hunting.

Xiao Yiheng winked at the guard who was proficient in archery behind him. After dismounting, he quietly approached the woods with a bow and arrow on his back, while Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Rui stepped back to avoid being discovered by Xiao Jing's guard after they succeeded.

The two of them didn't wait long, when Xiao Jing's wailing came from the woods, which could be heard clearly even from a distance.

The guard returned and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, you succeeded, you shot His Highness King Jing's left leg!"

"Very good!" Xiao Yiheng showed a ferocious smile. Although Xiao Jing was being used, he still hated Xiao Jing. If he didn't care about his father, he would have wanted someone to shoot Xiao Jing to death!

Xiao Rui stopped aside, and until now he still didn't know what kind of tricks Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Feng were playing.

"Second Brother, since you have taught Eighth Brother a lesson, can you tell me what you promised me now!" Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yiheng smiled cheerfully, and said: "Of course, since I promised you, I will naturally follow through. The death of your mother, Concubine Rong, is likely to be related to the imperial concubine Lin Yuer, and the seventh brother can investigate Lin Yuer carefully! If I lie, I will be beaten to death. Lei Hong, so, the seventh brother should believe my promise."

"Imperial Concubine? Where did you get the news?" Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yiheng pulled the rein, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Seventh brother, this issue is not in our deal!"

"Okay!" Xiao Rui nodded.

...

Because Xiao Jing was shot by a secret cold arrow, his guards immediately escorted him back to Dianjiangtai. Emperor Xia rushed over after hearing the news, saw the arrow feathers shot in Xiao Jing's leg, and immediately asked, "Who shot the arrow?"

The four guards knelt on the ground and shook their heads, one of them said: "The villain didn't see clearly, when we realized it, the other party had already fled!"

But the other person hesitated for a moment, moved his mouth, but shut up again.

Emperor Xia immediately noticed his strangeness, and asked, "If you don't report the truth, I will never forgive you!"

The guard trembled in fright, and immediately said: "The villain is at the back, looking at the appearance of that man, he looks like the guard next to His Highness King Xian!"

"What?"

"His Highness King Xian?"

"impossible!"

...

The people around were in an uproar and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Emperor Xia was furious immediately, and shouted: "Presumptuous! Are you identifying King Xian?"

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare! But everything the villain said is true!" The guard knocked his head on the ground, trembling with fright.

Zhongyonghou looked at the arrow feathers and said, "Your Majesty, there is no inscription on the arrow feathers. It should be an assassin sneaking into the hunting ground."

Emperor Xia's face was cold, how could he not be angry when he encountered an assassin during the winter hunt?

At this moment, soldiers from the patrol battalion in the city rushed over suddenly, asking to see Marquis Zhongyong.

Zhongyong Hou Zhang Jinfu immediately saw the visitor and learned that the Prince Xian's mansion was attacked by killers, he immediately reported the situation to Emperor Xia.

After hearing this, Emperor Xia was furious: "It's unreasonable! The killer is so arrogant, it's really unreasonable! Beat the drum and call back all the hunters to prevent them from being attacked by the killer. Zhongyonghou, take people back to the city immediately, and arrest all the killers. I want to know whose conspiracy it is!"

"Yes!" Zhang Jinfu immediately led his troops back to the city, and at the same time the drums sounded quickly. After hearing the drums, the members of the hunting ground returned to Dianjiangtai one after another, not knowing what happened.

Xiao Rui also heard the sound of the drum, he had already separated from Xiao Yiheng just now, and now Xiao Rui didn't know what conspiracy Xiao Feng was playing, could he also shoot himself? Yang Youji was on guard not far away. Once an enemy approached, let alone shoot Xiao Rui, he would be killed by Yang Youji before he took the arrow.

Xiao Rui turned back immediately, and when he arrived at Dianjiangtai, he found that there was something wrong with everyone's eyes, Xiao Rui didn't think much, and immediately walked into the set up military tent.

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and bowed: "I pay my respects to my father!"

At this time, in the military tent, except for Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Jing, the other princes have all returned.

Emperor Xia waved his hand to make him flattened, and said: "Prince Xian's mansion was attacked by killers. I was afraid that there would be changes in the hunting ground, so I stopped the winter hunting. In addition, King Jing was assassinated and injured."

When Xiao Rui heard this, his expression changed drastically. His Xianwang Mansion was attacked by killers? Bad, this is Xiao Feng's conspiracy, he wants to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia!

So he anxiously asked: "I don't know how King Jing's injury is? Has the murderer been caught? What's the situation in the son's house?"

Xia Huangdao: "King Jing was shot by an arrow in the leg, and the injury is not serious. I have also sent Zhongyong Hou to lead the troops back to the city, and the situation will be under control soon."

While speaking, Huo Xingye, Minister of the Ministry of War, just walked into the tent.

Xia Huang asked Huo Xingye, "Is there anyone else who hasn't come back?"

Huo Xingye said: "The others have all returned safely, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu has not returned for a long time! I have already sent people to search! By the way, someone just saw His Highness King Xian and the King of Chu staying outside the palace of the King of Chu in the hunting ground. Together, His Highness King Xian came back first, but did you know where King Chu went?"

As soon as these words came out, His Majesty and everyone's eyes shifted to Xiao Rui.

When Xiao Rui heard it, his heart clicked, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Father, my son-in-law has also separated from King Chu, and I don't know where he is going!" Xiao Rui said.

And just as he finished speaking, the Imperial Army ordered Zhuge Yuanba to enter the account hastily.

I saw him with a serious face, as if something bad had happened.

"Your Majesty...His Royal Highness the King of Chu...he was killed!" Zhuge Yuanba said suddenly while half kneeling on the ground.

"What?" Emperor Xia stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.

Xiao Rui clenched his fists immediately, my worry just now came true!

Xiao Feng, you are so ruthless!

Zhuge Yuanba continued: "Your Majesty, the soldiers who searched found the body of His Highness King Chu in a dry ravine, with an arrow in his chest, and the arrow feathers used were exactly the same as those used to assassinate His Highness King Jing. It should be the same person. ! And the three guards around him were also killed, and the whereabouts of the other is unknown!"

After he finished speaking, several people in the military tent held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.

"Immediately dispatch the Northwest Camp to seal off the hunting grounds and investigate thoroughly! We must find the murderer!"

Xiahuang gritted his teeth and said, King Chu is his son, and his son was killed, how can a father not feel sorry for him?

At this time, Xiao Rui sensed the insidiousness of Xiao Feng's scheme, and even directly killed the King of Chu, and it seemed that he wanted to set the blame on himself, so what would he do next?

Not long after, what Xiao Rui was worried about happened.

Huo Xingye came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, I found a suspect among the people who participated in the hunting. This person is not the son of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, nor the son of the lord. I have already controlled him! This person has a very sharp mouth. Yan, refuse to disclose any information!"

"Bring it in!" Emperor Xia said angrily.

Huo Xingye called out, and as expected, Yang Youji was kidnapped by Wuhuada.
