C28 Conspiracy

When Fang Yunlong returned home, he was immediately discovered by the Xiaoyun, which also meant that trouble had arrived. Sure enough, not long after, Fang Ling brought Fang Qing and Fang Yunhu over to denounce them.

They were extremely curious about Fang Yunlong's whereabouts. There was nothing they could do about it, Fang Yunlong had concealed what had happened on the Shangjing from them and said half-heartedly that he had spent the entire day drinking tea with his friends at the Shangjing Restaurant. Only until now did he finally escape and return.

Although Fang Qing was still filled with suspicion, Fang Ling thought that Fang Yunlong would not be able to tell Fang Qing and the others about how he spent his days chatting with Yimeng, so she believed Fang Yunlong's words and brought Fang Qing and Fang Yunhu away.

After sending off Fang Ling and the other two, only then did Fang Yunlong remember that she had not paid her respects to her mother after returning. With heavy steps, Fang Yunlong walked to her mother Cheng Xue Yi's room.

Sure enough, Fang Yunlong was scolded by his mother. However, Fang Yunlong lied and claimed that he had forgotten the time and that was why he came so late. Cheng Xue Yi reprimanded Fang Yunlong and stopped talking about this matter. She just started to chat about family matters with Fang Yunlong.

When he talked about his father Fang Tianshui not returning so late, Cheng Xue Yi saying that something seemed to have happened at the imperial court, and that Fang Tianshui had not returned since noon, Fang Yunlong faintly felt that it was related to the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince of Lu, Tian Zheng, on the Shangjing path.

Just as the mother and son duo were chatting about Fang Tianshui, Fang Tianshui returned. Seeing that it was so late, Fang Yunlong was still chatting with Cheng Xue Yi.

After being stunned for a moment, she said, "Xue Yi, it's already so late, I've already eaten at the palace. You should rest early. Long'er, come over here. Daddy has something to talk to you about. "

Fang Yunlong followed his father to the study room and sat down. Only then did Fang Tianshui recount what had happened today.

The empress dowager's sixtieth birthday was tomorrow. The emperor arranged a banquet in the palace to celebrate the birthday of the empress dowager, inviting emissaries from various countries to attend the banquet. However, today, when envoys from other countries entered the inn, they were attacked by masked assassins.

More than ten nations had been assassinated, and it had to be known that the leaders of these countries were either the princes, princes, or even princes of one country. They had a huge impact on the nation when they were assassinated in Shangjing, where they had come to offer their lives to the empress dowager.

Of all the emissaries who were assassinated, only the crown prince of Lu and the prime minister of Yan survived. As for the assassins that died, their corpses were placed in the officials of Shangjing County. Some of the assassins that did not die at that time died after swallowing the poison.

When the Emperor heard this, he was infuriated. He ordered the city guards to investigate this case thoroughly and capture the assassin.

When night fell, Prince Xiu who had gone to the Shangjing Restaurant for the banquet was assassinated on his way back. If it weren't for the fact that the city guards and the prince's mansion had rushed over in time, Xin Zidong, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, would have risked his life to save him.

Even so, not only was Xin Zidong seriously injured, but even Prince Xiu, who was heavily protected, was heavily injured. He didn't know if he would even be able to attend tomorrow's birthday banquet. The Emperor was enraged.

After the City Guard Army's Commander and the County Governor of Shangjing had finished, they gave the order to capture the assassin before sunrise tomorrow.

However, just as the emperor was giving out the order, the corpses of the assassins stored within the officials of Shangjing County were suddenly burnt to nothingness. Tonight, the entire Shangjing was bound to not be at peace.

After saying all that, Fang Tianshui sighed, then said to Fang Yunlong: "Since the situation is serious, father will not bring it up for you anymore. This time, so many nations are being assassinated, which is extremely disadvantageous for my dynasty.

Now there are also rumors that the assassins sent by my dynasty are here to suppress and intimidate the other countries. That's why the corpses of the assassins were suddenly burnt to ashes.

When the emperors of the other kingdoms find out about this, they will surely complain about me and even meet me in battle. This time, father has come back with something to ask you. "

Fang Yunlong looked up at his father and said: "Please speak, Father."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Tianshui said: "The Crown Prince of Lu, Tian Zheng, who escaped the assassination today was saved by a young masked warrior who used a formation to block the assassin.

He used a messy pile of wooden sticks to kill the assassin with high martial arts skills, while he himself blocked another assassin with high martial arts skills.

Let me consider, for someone to be so young, have strong martial arts, and be able to set up a formation to kill experts, it seems that you were the one who did it. "Tell Daddy, did you save Lu Kingdom's Crown Prince, Tian Zheng?"

Hearing his father Fang Tianshui's description of what happened today, Fang Yunlong was almost stunned. He thought that envying the assassination of Lu Kingdom's crown prince was a coincidence, but he did not expect that there were actually envoys from dozens of countries being assassinated.

It seemed that this was not a small matter, but a conspiracy with great ambition. With regards to the assassination attempt on Prince Xiu who he had separated from not too long ago, Fang Yunlong was somewhat suspicious and somewhat puzzled.

Fang Yunlong felt that it was even more unbelievable for a scholar who was weak enough to sacrifice his own life to save the Prince Xiu.

Seeing that his father had asked about helping the Lu Kingdom's crown prince, Fang Yunlong admitted it without hesitation and after organizing his thoughts, Fang Yunlong said to his father: "Father, today, on the road of Shangjing, your son encountered the Lu Nation's crown prince who was assassinated and saved the Lu Nation's crown prince.

As for the assassin, I know that beneath the assassin's shoulder blade, there is a bright sun on the left and a crescent moon on the right. It is obviously an organization. As for the leader of this organization, I only have my suspicions and am not sure yet. "

"Hmm? Under the assassin's shoulder blade, there are two marks, one day and one month? " Fang Tianshui muttered to himself, "At that time we examined the body of the deceased assassin for evidence and clues. We did not report this point. Did the coroner not find out or was someone not informing us?"

Fang Yunlong carefully considered the news his father had brought back, and cautiously said, "Father, your son thinks that although there is something fishy about this matter, but we can still find some clues by connecting the dots.

Those who assassinated so many countries, including the Crown Prince of a country, the Prince of a country, and his subjects, dealt a great blow to the kingdom where they were assassinated, and rumored to be assassins sent by my court, no matter how I tried to explain or apprehend them.

They could not help but hold a grudge against me. As for the envoys from the country who didn't encounter any assassination attempts, they would be terrified and distrust me. Furthermore, the assassination of Prince Xiu seemed to have added to their unease.

Could it be that the Shangjing of the Tang Dynasty is so dangerous that it can't even protect the most favored princes? "In the end, it led to the distrust of most of the countries in the entire Yuzhou. If I add a little more help, it could cause my position as the ruler to immediately crumble."

Fang Yunlong's conjecture and reasoning came out like a clap of thunder in Fang Tianshui's mind. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Originally, the Emperor wanted to use Her Majesty's birthday to display my might to the other countries.

To show off my position as the Overlord in Yuzhou, I never thought that this schemer would take advantage of this opportunity to strike down my position as the Overlord. Thinking of this, Fang Tianshui shuddered and could not help but ask: "What do we do? "What should we do?"

Seeing his father, who had always been calm, pacing back and forth in the study room like a ant on a hot pan, Fang Yunlong said softly, "Daddy, do not worry. Since we know the plans of the enemies, we can think of a way to destroy their plans and win back the trust of the other nations."

As if a man in water saw a blade of straw, Fang Tianshui immediately grabbed onto Fang Yunlong's shoulder and said anxiously: "Long'er, tell me, what methods do you have to disrupt the enemy's plans and regain the trust of the other nations?"

Fang Yunlong scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I don't have a good idea either …"

Hearing Fang Yunlong's words, Fang Tianshui could not help but sit down heavily in disappointment. He clearly knew of the other party's scheme, but he had no way of resolving it.

Perhaps it was no longer a conspiracy, but a naked conspiracy. Could it be that he could only watch helplessly as the position of the Tang Dynasty's overlord lost, and then walk towards its downfall?

After looking at his father, Fang Yunlong continued, "Father, although I am still unable to solve his scheme, I think he is thinking of letting us not go into chaos. He must be laughing in his heart right now because of the panic in our Shangjing.

Right now, our main goal is not to track down the culprit, but to stabilize ourselves first, remove the rumors, and then pacify the people, as well as the emissaries of the various countries.

Your son guessed that tomorrow at Her Majesty's birthday banquet, the other party might be the one that dealt a critical blow to my dynasty. As for what method they will use and what form they will use, this child has no way of guessing. "

Hearing Fang Yunlong's words, Fang Tianshui finally heaved a sigh of relief. Especially since Fang Yunlong had said that he had to remain calm first.

Don't mess around. Fang Tianshui calmed down, as he quietly thought of every word that Fang Yunlong had said, and said: "Long'er, what you said is very reasonable. Father will enter the palace to report to the emperor right now, and remove the restrictions on the Shangjing.

He cleared away the rumors, pacified the hearts of the foreign envoys, and even claimed that he had captured an assassin. Father also wanted you to come forward and contact Crown Prince Tian Zheng, hoping that he could help stabilize the current situation. "

Fang Yunlong cheerfully replied: "Daddy, don't worry. Your son will go and find Prince Tian Zheng of the Lu Kingdom in a while. Your son believes that Prince Tian Zheng should be able to prove that the assassin is not my assassin and also wants him to help pacify the other countries."

Hearing Fang Yunlong's words, Fang Tianshui was very pleased, and said: "Tomorrow's birthday celebration is allowed to bring your family members to attend.

Then you will go to the birthday feast with Daddy and see who the devil is that has come to cause trouble for me. " The calmness and confidence of the past returned to his tone.

Fang Yunlong bowed and said: "I will follow your orders, but please wait until father reports to the Emperor, don't tell me it's your guess, your son still wants to give the Assassin Chief a surprise."

"Haha!" Fang Tianshui could not help but pat his son on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, child. Tomorrow, let them experience the heroic nature of our Fang family's men!"
