Chapter 436 Discovering the Assassin (Part [-])
Along the snowy slope of a trail outside the northwest mountain gate, the long bloodstains extended to the edge of a cliff and disappeared completely.

A few soldiers went back to report that the Eighth Prince Li Ye demanded to see people when he was born and corpses when he died.

The cliff below is so deep that the soldiers are all in trouble, so they can only bite the bullet and look for it.

It was getting later and later, and when it was almost midnight, there was nothing.

Princess Yangping didn't sleep, she was sitting in the Xiehui Pavilion, the eight gates behind the Xiehui Pavilion were all open, and one could see the gate of the Dark Pavilion at the other end.

There is a spacious space on the base of the platform, and more than 30 soldiers are prying open the stone gate.

After all, this time I came to the mountain for a walk to relax, and there is no siege machine on the mountain that can break through the stone gate, so it is very difficult to open the stone gate.

Li Ye's confidant Jiang Shitai led two or three people, passed by Princess Yangping, and went towards the Eighth Prince who was reading a book behind.

Jiang Shitai leaned over and whispered very lightly.

Li Ye raised his head: "Really?"

Princess Yangping pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what they were saying.

"Do you want to talk to His Majesty?" Jiang Shitai asked.

Li Ye put down the book in his hand and stood up, "Let me go and talk."

Princess Yangping watched them leave with extreme curiosity.

However, she usually only has a good relationship with the third and fourth children in the palace, and with the fifth and eighth children, the three of them dislike each other.

In fact, only a few of them came to the mountain this time. Although the sixth and ninth sons also came, they both said that they were not feeling well and had been in the house for a day. Sitting in a room.

Seeing that Xun Fei was discussing with the people from the Internal Servant Bureau what ingenuity he could use, and the guards hadn't opened the stone gate, Princess Yangping stopped waiting here and got up to find Emperor Xuanyan together.

Emperor Xuanyan was having a meal. Hearing what Li Ye said, he said, "Another palace?"

"It's half an hour away from here on the southwestern side of the mountain," Li Ye said. "I found it when I was looking for people. The hall is brightly lit. Because it's far away, I haven't noticed it in the past two days."

"The lights are bright." Emperor Xuanyan repeated these four words.

"The gates outside the hall are closed, and three or four members of the Yuanhe Sect are fighting to stop each other," Li Ye said after a pause, "There was a small conflict, and I never expected that they were really not afraid of death. ... was stabbed to death by the imperial guards in the chaos."

This is not a trivial matter, after all, it is on the top of a mountain.

"Nonsense." Emperor Xuan Yan frowned and said.

"Could it be the old suzerain?" Mu Guifei said.

"When we came up the mountain yesterday, almost everyone in the entire Yuanhe Sect came out to see Shengjia, but this person did not. Last night when the members of the Yuanhe Sect, including all the heads of affairs, knelt in the Changhe Hall, this person should also Didn't go out," Li Ye said, "Now this happened again..."

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is very strange." Concubine Mu Gui said.

Emperor Xuanyan looked at her.

"If you want to hide from people, why are the lights bright? If you don't want to hide from people, why do those disciples fight to the death and stop there?"

"That's right," Emperor Xuan Yan said with a smile, "It's really strange."

Li Ye said: "Father, now..."

"How about I go and have a look?" Princess Yangping said standing at the door.

Concubine Mu Gui looked towards the door, her complexion turned pale immediately, and she quickly winked.

Princess Yangping couldn't see it at all, so she went in and said, "Father, let me go and have a look."

Emperor Xuan Yan looked at her with a smile: "Yang Ping, what are you going to do?"

"This sect is weird, and at the same time, it has repeatedly neglected us. It treats the emperor's majesty and royal majesty like a child's play. I can't help feeling unhappy with this tone in my heart today!" Princess Yangping said.

"Haha..." Emperor Xuanyan laughed loudly, "What is this, is it difficult to calm down?"

"It's difficult."

"Forget it, then you can go," Emperor Xuan Yan said with a smile, "I won't make you angry."

"Thank you, father!" Princess Yangping hurriedly blessed.

Concubine Mu Gui looked ugly and was speechless.

She thought that this daughter didn't know that this sect was weird, and if she knew about it, she would fight for the limelight like this, who knows what will happen next?

If the limelight was really so easy to grab, Li Ye would not have come here to tell the emperor on purpose, he would have gone by himself first, and then sent people to report.

The corners of her eyes twitched violently. Concubine Mu Gui raised her hand and touched it lightly. An extremely strong sense of uneasiness made her unable to calm down.

Princess Yangping took the people away, and as soon as she left, a person rushed over.

"Your Majesty!" The visitor came in without waiting for the notification, knelt down and said, "I found the assassin! Your Majesty, this mountain is not suitable for staying any longer! A group of 12 Imperial Guard soldiers sent to hunt for the child were all killed!"

Li Ye's eyes widened: "Killed?!"

"Yes," the visitor said, "the assassin's tactics are neat and clean, there is no trace of unnecessary fighting at the scene, and almost all of them are fatal with one blow, which shows that he is a powerful fighter!"

Everyone in the room, including the maids and servants who had been quietly waiting for orders with their heads down, all looked up at Emperor Xuanyan.

Emperor Xuanyan's peaceful expression slowly frowned.

"It's a pity," Emperor Xuanyan said, "I finally found a place where I can rest peacefully, and they want to destroy it."

He raised his head and looked around the room.

The sense of peace that this room had brought him was gone now.

With a sound of "Assassin", he was directly dragged back to the place where Jiangshan fell, where gold and iron horses were everywhere, and where the flames of war were everywhere.

Even if there are nearly [-] people who follow him up the mountain, even if the assassin is strong, one against a hundred, he will definitely not be able to do anything to him.

However, with what happened in the past two days, plus this "assassin", he no longer has a good impression of this place.

"Then let's go," said Emperor Xuan Yan, "tomorrow morning."

"Yes." The visitor responded.

Li Ye immediately said: "Quickly dispatch personnel, put all your strength into defense, and at the same time send people to search for people, 50 people form a team, and no more mistakes are allowed!"

As he said that, he turned around and said: "Father, my son and minister will go and have a look together first!"

"Go." Emperor Xuanyan said, his voice could not hide his fatigue.

Seeing Li Ye's positive expression, Concubine Mu Gui secretly laughed in her heart.

When will it be your turn to dispatch the Emperor's Jinwu Guards and Forbidden Army?

Watching Li Ye turn and leave, Concubine Mu looked up at the open window sash in the other direction. Compared with this so-called "assassin", Concubine Mu was more worried about her spoiled and ignorant baby princess.

I don't know what will happen if I go there.

……

……

bother!
Princess Yangping only has this word in her heart now.

We have to go a long, long way.

And it's still in the mountains, or in the snow, or at night.

The two palace maids accompanying her said they wanted to reach out to help her, but they stumbled just like her, and almost threw her to the ground.

It's really annoying to be sleepy and have no sedan chair.

"There are assassins!" In the empty valley on her right, someone shouted loudly, and it echoed in the mountains.

"There are assassins!" The maid on the side exclaimed in surprise, and looked towards the flames on the other side.
