C20 They Were Still Weak Chickens

THIRTEEN Years of Royal Blessing Spring, on the 25th of the first month, in the early hours of the morning.

Today was an extremely unusual day for the entire imperial court. This was because the Emperor, Zhao Yuv, who was always trying to help the emperor, did not attend the assembly. To the group of officials and dignitaries living in the west of the city, everyone was very clear about the movements of the homework. However, to those officials who were neither high nor low, or perhaps at the bottom, most of the news didn't reach their ears quickly.

However, in just a short moment, news came from Zhao Wuji, the emperor's close servant and eunuch. The emperor was stabbed and injured by an assassin in the palace last night.

The moment this news came out, the entire hall was filled with clamor. Only the small group of people standing in front seemed to be fine. Their eyes shone with a strange light and they slowly walked out of the hall as if nothing had happened.

Currently, within the imperial study of the State of Zhao Imperial Palace, the imposing and upright State of Zhao Emperor sat on the dragon throne without the slightest injury. Three people stood in front of him, they were the commander of the Imperial Guard, Xu Shihong, and the two reverends who searched the city last night.

The State of Zhao Emperor Zhao Yuv frowned, his face still carrying a trace of anger. Last night, he had lost another Innate Ranker because of a test, and another Innate Ranker represented the same amount of resources as a mountain, and all of them had gone down the drain!

Looking at the three people in front of him, Zhao Yuv suppressed his anger and ordered Xu Shihong to report everything he saw last night: "Aside from the families of the Ye Family, there were a total of 530 people in Ye Residence, 326 men, 130 women, 40 old men, 24 young ones, and two hundred of Ye Zhenbei's personal guards, the rest are servants and 50 ordinary guards, their strengths are all of the second or fourth rank and above Body Tempering. There are also more than fifty people in the sixth rank and over in the Qi Cultivation Stage of Yan Clan, and their auras are not too clear, but the auras of some people are not too far off from the sixth rank. Other than the unverified information, there are nine other people in the possession of Innate Expert's Ye Residence!

Hearing Xu Shihong's report, the emperor's eyebrows creased even more tightly. It was as if a huge weight had been pressed down on his heart, causing him to be unable to breathe. "There are so many Innate Rankers? When royal father was on his deathbed, he told Yun Che that he did not know the origins of the Ye Residence. Back then, when they took down this huge mountain, their strength had never leaked out, and they had concealed themselves extremely deeply. By the way, what was hiding in the Ye Residence's backyard? Earlier, there was a message from an insider. It seemed like he was forging something? It should be related to the concealed weapon Ye Xinyu used.

Xu Shihong heard this and shook his head: "In the backyard, according to the information of the subordinates searching, there is nothing. But there are indeed traces of a furnace being built, but it has been dismantled and there are no clues left behind!"

When Zhao Yuv heard this, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes and he fell into a momentary silence.

"Actually, it's not like there's no other way! No matter how strong a person was, he was still not an immortal. It might be very strong if he fought alone, but as long as His Majesty used the Imperial Guards to surround him, under the might of the heavy bow and crossbow, even Innate Expert would not be able to escape! Moreover, in this world, many things cannot be solved by force. One must know that there are still schemes! "

At this moment, a court deacon at Xu Shihong's left said. He seemed to know the worries of the emperor.

"In the end, I have to find a legitimate name!" Sighing slightly, he turned to Xu Shihong and said: "Xu Shihong, you should join hands with the crown prince to do this. You still need the cooperation of the other reverends, remember, don't be too hasty. We have waited for so many years, it doesn't matter if it takes one or two years! Whether it was betraying the nation, colluding with the enemy, or bullying the king, it was all the same! It doesn't matter how much, but you have to get rid of the roots! " Zhao Yuv said to Xu Shihong with a gloomy face.

"That's right! How about that little bastard Ye Family? " He remembered back then when he had personally used his favorite daughter as bait in order to find an excuse, but who knew that he had gone too far and lost so much face in the end? From the words of his concubines, he could even imagine the scene of a naked, ugly person playing in front of his concubine/palace maid, as well as the scene of him wetting his dragon robe and pouncing towards his beloved concubine. Until now, he still vividly remembered the scene where he wanted to spend the Spring Festival Gala together.

"Ye Zhenbei used Ye Residence as bait and cast a large net, attracting countless assassins and death warriors from other families in the Zhao Du. He wanted to net everything in one fell swoop, but according to the information sent by the spies, there were a few explosions last night in the small courtyard, until Ye Residence arrived this morning and a team of soldiers rushed over to pick up Ye Xinyu, who was completely unharmed!"

Zhao Wuji, who was standing at the doorway, suddenly spoke when he heard the emperor's question. This piece of news caused everyone present to be stunned!

"Immediately contact the spies in Ye Residence secretly. Pay close attention to collecting all the details related to last night's assassination of Ye Xinyu. Don't let even a trace of him go!" Zhao Yuv's heart jolted as he sensed an unusual aura from within. He felt as if Ye Xinyu was hiding some kind of shocking secret!

At this moment, he valued his life more than anyone else, especially when he had died in his previous life, he cared more about his own life. But his own strength was still too weak, just like last night's assassination attempt.

After a night of thinking, he finally understood that with his current condition, even if he could use firearms, which would be fatal to Innate Expert, he wouldn't be invincible. At least last, it was a good proof last night.

After all, no one would be stupid enough to stand there and let you hit them. If the opponent's speed surpassed his reaction speed, then with his current strength and physical condition, he would be completely unable to keep up with the opponent's speed, so it was very likely that he would die, especially that long sword the assassin threw at him when he escaped, letting him know that he was not the only one who possessed a ranged weapon in this world.

However, it would take at least another month for him to recover from his injuries. He did not know how many more assassinations would befall him this month!

But the only thing she was sure of was that she had killed the last two Innate Expert last night, at least her gun as a life-saving measure had not been exposed. This was also the first sniper rifle he had used in his previous life, also known as the semi-automatic sniper rifle, which had even caused his weak body to be blown away by the recoil.

At the very least, it would not have been wise for him to do so while he still did not have the power to protect himself. But fortunately, as dawn broke, this small courtyard welcomed someone he did not want to see the most, yet at the same time, urgently needed the other party's strength to protect him.
