Chapter 30, The Assassination
On this day, Liu Jin, Zhou Bo and others were ordered to pacify Yan. The city of Chang’an was full of noisy gongs and drums. Right in front of the team, Zhou Bo on horseback straightened his body like a flag gun, in the center, and the team After the side, the flags were waved one by one.
In the following days, Liu Lin and the two became even busier.
The city wall of Chang'an is 65 miles long. There are twelve city gates in total. There are three gates on each side of the city wall. Each gate is divided into three gates.
Planning belongs to planning, and there are actually more things to do. After one month, both of them are very busy. Let alone intimacy, there are very few chances to meet each other during the day. Instead of going to the romantic place like Lanyue Building, I changed to Xiangwang Building.
On this day, Liu Minkang, who finally had time to spare, took Han Lin to Xiangwanglou, but soon regretted it, because as soon as his Liner met Boss Xian, he started to reminisce about the old days. Deng Tong, dressed in official robes, enthusiastically explained to Han Lin about the annual Lantern Festival tonight
That's right, today Liu Minkang just wanted to have a good time with Lin Er at the Lantern Festival, but he didn't expect to be left out in the cold until he drank too much.
In the blink of an eye, in the evening, in order to let the people of Chang'an City have a good time, the emperor ordered the opening of the right street. The new Chang'an Street is clean and tidy, and the people are rushing to see the new street, which is even more lively.
Liu Minkang dragged Han Lin through the crowd.
The weather was starting to get hot at this time, and the two wore the same royal blue silk clothes, and walked in the crowd with their hands left handed, attracting the attention of passers-by, but everyone felt that the two were so well-matched, only praise was nothing The voice of contempt.
The lanterns are all exquisite, and there are lantern riddles on them. The two of them are guessing the riddles while watching. Both of them are extremely intelligent people. After a while, there are rewards in their hands and arms.
Tired from playing, Han Lin found a quiet place to sit down and rest. Under the bright moonlight, Han Lin's beautiful almond eyes curled up with a smile.
It was rare that Han Lin was not angry, the smile on his face deepened, and Liu Minkang was even more proud. He slowly put his hands on the waist of the people around him, and his head lowered lower and lower. The figure in the pink dress disappeared into the crowd, without even thinking about it, he turned around and chased after him.
"Liu Minkang..." Han Lin yelled, but the person who was holding him just now was completely invisible now.
Liu Minkang chased him not far away, and stopped at the gate of Lanyue Building.
Today's Lanyue Tower has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, and there are many guards in black at the door.
"Brother Liu, why are you here, looking for someone?" At some point, Deng Tong came to him and asked.
Liu Minkang was also a little puzzled: "Brother Deng Xian, why are you here?"
"Today the emperor came to Lanyue Tower to watch Chu Wu, and I came to accompany him."
"Oh~~" Deng Tong's words reminded Liu Minkang of the words of Shen'er in front of Beijiao's grave that day, so he pulled Deng Tong aside and said in a very low voice: "Be careful tonight, someone may make trouble."
Just as he was talking, he saw another burly man walking from the crowd, with a tattoo of a green dragon painted on his neck, and he saw Deng Tong salute: "Young Master Deng, are you all right?"
Liu Minkang understood that Liu Heng left, but he left Lu Cheng with Deng Tong, because he was worried that Deng Tong would be in danger.
fair enough.
"Brother Deng Xian, today please pay special attention to the emperor... the people around you, but that assassin was also forced to do nothing, please look at me and save their lives."
"they?"
Liu Minkang nodded without saying a word, and walked into the crowd with his hands clasped.
Only then did he remember that when he was in a hurry just now, Liu Minkang didn't have time to talk to Lin'er at all. He didn't know if Lin'er would be in danger, so he ran back in a hurry. The street people were already gone, so he hurried home again.
As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he hurriedly looked around for someone, and finally found Lin'er in the study.At this time, Han Lin was holding the bamboo slips in his hand, but his eyes didn't know where to look, and there was no focal length in the distance.
Liu Minkang didn't know what was wrong with him, so he went up to take the bamboo slips and put them down, hugging him in his arms.
Han Lin looked sideways at Liu Minkang, remembering his reaction on the street just now, the corners of his upwardly curved mouth slowly curled into a line: "Minkang..."
"Huh?" Liu Minkang looked down at him.
Han Lin pursed his lips and asked with determination, "Who did you chase just now?"
"Who?" Liu Minkang sneered, it seemed that his Lin'er was jealous: "It's Du Yunxi."
Suddenly thinking that Du Yunxi is still his fiancée in name, what he did just now was a bit too much.But when it happened suddenly, he was also worried that something might happen to her.
"Lin'er, I won't go back on what I promised you. Yun Xi's mother was killed by someone, and that person was Lin Tian, the head guard who is now the emperor's side. I was worried that something would happen to her just now."
Han Lin lowered his head, sighed softly and said, "But how can you manage this matter. Knowing that you can't do it, you hurried over there. I don't believe there is no ghost in your heart."
Liu Minkang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and kissed the person in his arms: "Lin'er, you really wronged me! I'm just worried that if something happened to Lin Tian, the emperor would be involved. If something happened to the emperor, the Great Han Dynasty would also be involved." If something goes wrong, I have to plan ahead.”
"Oh."
"Don't be angry anymore?!" Liu Minkang smiled lightly and hugged the woman in his arms tightly with one hand, and gently turned the beauty's body with his hands.
Han Lin knew that he was wrong, so he lowered his head and didn't look at him with a red face. Liu Minkang shook his head with a smile, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but want to kiss him again.
Just as the lips of the two were about to meet, there was a sudden noise outside the door.Immediately afterwards, there was another uproar.The ambiguous atmosphere in the room just now was instantly wiped out by the noise.
Liu Minkang's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that something really happened outside.
Han Lin also raised his head. At this moment, Ah Yi hurried in from outside and said, "Master, brother Lin, something happened outside."
"Say!"
"The emperor was assassinated, and the imperial guards are hunting for the assassin throughout the city."
Both of them were shocked, how could it be that the emperor was assassinated?
"Is the emperor all right?"
"I don't know, anyway, it's a mess outside now, people are being arrested everywhere."
At this time, someone came to report back, and Deng Tong, the chief farmer, came to visit.
"Please!"
"Could something really happen to the emperor?" Han Lin's face was slightly pale, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
"I hope not. The Great Han Dynasty was established at the beginning, and the vassal kings of various places are ready to move. Your Majesty, don't let something happen now!" Liu Minkang felt a little uneasy, and curled his lips.
Deng Tong walked in with a serious face, followed by two guards, one tall and one short.
"You all go down." Liu Minkang glanced at the three of them, waved his hands to let them all go down, and frowned in thought.
Han Lin probably also guessed the identities of the two guards, holding Liu Minkang tightly with both hands.
Liu Minkang looked back at Han Lin and said, "Trust me, nothing will happen." Seeing that he cares about himself, he feels warm in his heart, and there are people who worry about him, except for his father, now there is another Lin'er.
"Mr. Lin, I have something to say to Brother Liu alone, please..."
"I'm going back to my room first, Si Nong, please..." Han Lin pursed his lips and saluted.
Some things are really inconvenient to say by yourself.Although Liu Minkang has regarded himself as a family member, once it involves official affairs, he can avoid it as much as he can.
"Lin'er," Liu Minkang shook his hand, but couldn't say what he wanted to say, "Alright, you should rest first, don't worry."
Han Lin nodded, turned and went out.
"What's going on?" Liu Minkang didn't turn his head to look at Deng Tong until he couldn't see the figure of the man, and asked aloud.
Deng Tong reprimanded with a stern face: "It's not a good thing you took care of. Someone brought it for you. How it ends later, you can figure it out yourself."
After speaking, he pointed to the short guard: "Miss Du, I can only send you here so that I can take care of myself in the future."
At this time, the guard slowly took off the cloak on his body, looked up, and it was indeed Du Yunxi, but now her face was covered with tears, there was still some blood on her body, and her eyes were frighteningly hollow.
"Yun Xi! What's wrong with you?" Liu Minkang came to the woman and grabbed her arm, "Wake up!"
Du Yunxi looked at the man in front of him, his face gradually turned red, and he whispered: "Mr. Liu..."
Liu Minkang frowned: "You killed the emperor?"
Seeing that Du Ruoxi didn't speak, Deng Tong shook his head and said, "No, it was Lin Tian who assassinated them, but they accidentally injured the emperor. Fortunately, Young Master Lu was there and solved Lin Tian secretly. I will give you someone in the chaos." Bring it out."
"What about Shen'er? You didn't save Shen'er?"
Hearing this, Deng Tong looked Liu Minkang up and down: "You still have a little conscience thinking about her. She's fine, she was rescued by another person."
Only now did Liu Minkang relax a little.
Deng Tong looked at Du Ruoxi again. Although he looked haggard, he couldn't hide his beauty. He was indeed a rare beauty.I heard that he and Liu Minkang are already engaged, but the current situation is not good.
"Brother Liu, the imperial guards are looking for the whole city, what do you think?"
That's right, the Tian family can't go back, but they can't live in their own house all the time.
Du Yunxi was also relieved at this time, seeing Liu Minkang's difficulty, pursed his lips, looked at him hesitantly, and said after a while: "Mr. Liu, I will not implicate you, I... let I'll stay here for one night, and tomorrow... I'll leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow."
"Where can you go as a weak woman?"
Du Yunxi's eyes turned red immediately: "The world is so big, there will always be a place for me, and I will die at worst." As he spoke, he lowered his head and cried again.
Deng Tong frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the two people in a dilemma, Deng Tong sighed and said: "Why are you so good-looking? How about this? Recently, the Queen Mother ordered a beauty selection for the emperor, and there happened to be a prefect's daughter who didn't want to enter the palace. Then let me find a way to fill the vacancy for her daughter, if you want, come with me into the palace."
