Chapter 368 Chapter 366 [Night of Terror]

Of course, the second prince would not favor one over the other. He asked Xue Susu to serve Lu Chen, but ignored Hou Yu.

In fact, he also arranged for two beauties to serve Hou Yu, but the Marquis of Nan'an was very drunk and had no leisure at all, so the two beauties left quietly after Hou Yu lay down.

As two short shouts sounded outside, the two soldiers guarding the bedroom door fell down one after another, and the wind rushed into the room.

There was a lamp like a bean here. As the wind swept into the room, the already weak candlelight dimmed instantly and was almost completely extinguished.

Even so, the figure lying on the bed could be clearly seen.

The next moment, the candlelight returned to its original state, and the figure had rushed to the bed.

It was a red dress like fire.

She looked coldly at Nan'an Hou Yu, who was sleeping on the bed, without a moment's hesitation or hesitation, and she didn't waste any time to express hatred with words.

She twisted her right hand, and the long sword with blood on it pierced Hou Yu's throat like a bolt of lightning.

The woman in red rolled herself up and landed smoothly. She did not respond to Hou Yu's roar because there were already chaotic footsteps outside.

After dodging three swords in a row, the fourth sword of the woman in red suddenly appeared. Moreover, Hou Yu seemed to be under the influence of drunkenness, and his reaction ability was far worse than usual. She stabbed her right shoulder deeply with her sword.

"Invite the doctor quickly!"

Although the situation was very dangerous, there was not much anger in Hou Yu's eyes, but rather complex emotions that others could not understand at all.

The woman in red was calm in the face of danger, twisting her body to avoid it. The sword in her hand was not withdrawn but moved forward. A sword flower bloomed quickly in front of Hou Yu.

If the woman in red hadn't been quick-sighted, turned sideways in time and lowered her left arm to block, this kick would have been enough to injure her internal organs.

Hou Yu raised his hand to cover the wound on his shoulder and shouted angrily: "Seeking death!"

When the two of them fight, they both use their killing moves.

The sword tip arrived in an instant, and when the cold air invaded his body, Hou Yu suddenly opened his eyes and swung his body inward.

The woman in red flew out upside down, staring at Hou Yu with eyes still cold, but with a bit of confusion.

The woman in red's eyes narrowed, and her heart instantly became alert.

"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"

The space on the bed was already cramped, leaving little room for Hou Yu to dodge. Coupled with the condescending advantage of the woman in red, Hou Yu was immediately in danger.

Even so, majestic and powerful force spread from her left arm to her whole body, kicking her backwards. She pulled out the long sword, bringing out a wisp of blood.

But the wound was too deep, and he obviously couldn't get up to fight.

After all, Hou Yu is not a good person. He is a martial artist who has gone through countless killings on the western border. The more thrilling the moment, the more ferocious the temper in his heart can be aroused.

She gave Hou Yu one last cold look, then turned around and strode towards the window, jumped up and broke out of the window. Before the soldiers and Mo Yuan guards who rushed outside could react, she immediately kicked off the tree trunk. Soaring into the sky, he climbed over the high wall of the courtyard with ease.

At this moment, similar shouts could be heard inside and outside the courtyard.

When the woman in red stabbed her right shoulder with a sword, Hou Yu kicked her opponent's left waist with her right foot.

At the same time, Hou Yu's left leg bounced up like a steel whip, hitting the lower abdomen of the woman beside the bed with a strong and sharp sound.

"Master Hou is injured!"

The soldiers who rushed into the bedroom looked at Hou Yu, who was sitting on the bed covered in blood, and each one of them was so frightened that the souls of the dead appeared and their faces were full of panic.

"Why panic! I can't die! Catch that damn assassin!"

Hou Yu's face was pale, his eyes were extremely fierce, and he was roaring with gnashed teeth.

"Follow the order!"

Although the soldiers agreed in unison, no one dared to go out at this moment, because Hou Yu only brought ten soldiers tonight, and three more people died in the hands of the mysterious assassin before, which is enough to prove the strength of the assassin.

No one can guarantee whether the other party will fight back.

The guards of Mo Yuan all had solemn expressions. On the one hand, they immediately asked for the doctor, and on the other hand, they pursued the assassin under the organization of several leaders.

Fortunately, the second prince attaches great importance to the guarding of Mo Yuan and has made very thorough arrangements over the years. Although it is unknown how the mysterious assassin sneaked into Mo Yuan and knew the environment of Hou Yu's residence very well, after the incident, the entire Mo Yuan was under control. Yuan's defense force immediately took action.

As the warning sound spread around, the perimeter of Moyuan immediately strengthened its alert, and at the same time, experts continued to join the team chasing the assassin.

The woman in red seemed to have been slightly injured, but her movement skills were too good and she knew the environment inside Mo Yuan very well, which gradually frightened the Mo Yuan masters who were chasing her.

With the cover of the dark night and the intricate buildings and terrain inside Moyuan, fewer and fewer Moyuan guards were able to keep up with her, and in the end they were completely lost.

Several of the most skilled guards looked at each other. They didn't know Hou Yu's situation. After all, most of the people who rushed into the bedroom were Hou Yu's personal soldiers. If the Marquis of Nan'an was killed by an assassin in Moyuan, the consequences would probably be repeated. Even the prince can't afford it!

At this time, one person's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said: "No, will the assassin go to the Green Courtyard?"

The rest immediately realized that the place where the assassin disappeared was not far from the green courtyard. Could it be that the assassin wanted to attack the east and west, deliberately attracting all the guards in Moyuan to Hou Yu's residence, and then assassinate Shanyang Hou Luchen?

Even if the assassin didn't have this idea and just happened to confront Marquis Shanyang, it might cause more troublesome consequences.

Everyone looked at each other and said almost in unison: "Let's go!" They then used Qinggong and body skills and ran towards the green courtyard to the north.

Before they entered the small courtyard, they saw Lu Chen appeared in sight with more than ten soldiers, and everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Lu Chen frowned and asked, "What happened?"

One of the guards immediately reported: "Go back to Lord Hou, an assassin just attacked General Hou!"

Lu Chen's expression turned cold for a moment, and he asked again: "Is there any serious problem with Marquis Nan'an? Can the assassin be caught? Where is His Highness now?"

Although he asked three questions in a row, the guards could not help but calm down, and one of them replied: "Back to Mr. Hou, it is still unclear how injured General Hou is. The assassin has not been caught. We are worried that the assassin will come to Qinglu Xiao The hospital rushed here. His Highness returned to the palace shortly after the banquet."

Lu Chen immediately said: "Immediately put the siege in Moyuan and send people to notify His Highness the Second Highness and the Sutra Weaver Qin Tiju respectively. In addition, please ask the Second Highness to find two imperial doctors who specialize in trauma."

The guards responded in unison: "Follow the order!"

Lu Chen made the arrangements and immediately led his soldiers to the courtyard where Hou Yu stayed.

The place is under complete martial law, Hou Yu's personal soldiers are guarding the bedroom, and the outside room and the courtyard are full of guards from Mo Yuan who came after hearing the news.

Seeing Lu Chen appear, everyone hurriedly saluted, but he just waved his hands all the way and walked straight into the bedroom with a solemn expression, but was stopped by Hou Yu's soldiers.

These soldiers obviously knew about the conflict a few hours ago, and they were all upright military men. They naturally suspected that this late-night assassination was the work of Lu Chen, and the hostility in their eyes was barely concealed.

"Step aside!"

It was Hou Yu who spoke. He leaned on the pillow and said with some difficulty: "Even if Marquis Lu disagrees with me, he will not do such a despicable act of assassination in secret. Don't be stupid!"

The soldiers could only make way for one, and Lu Chen walked in without changing his expression, and came to the bedside to look at Hou Yu.

The wound on his shoulder had been simply bandaged, but it could be seen from the blood stains on the gauze and the little blood on his chest and bed that his injury was definitely serious and could almost kill him.

Lu Chen looked at Hou Yu's pale face and asked straight to the point: "Who is the assassin?"

Hou Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

After two brief exchanges, the two powerful princes, who were both in charge of the Nanya Jing Army, suddenly fell into a silent stare.

Hou Yu looked at Lu Chen calmly, with both anger and confusion on his face. It seemed that he didn't understand why he was assassinated in Moyuan.

After a long time, Lu Chen said again: "Assassinating a prince is a serious crime of confiscating the family. Most people don't have the courage. Could it be an assassin sent by the Seven Tribes of Shazhou on the western border?"

Hou Yu did not answer the question, but asked: "Has the assassin been caught?"

Lu Chen shook his head.

Hou Yu looked a little gloomy, and then said: "Your inference is also possible."

Several candles as thick as arms have been lit in the room, and the light is quite bright. The two of them can clearly see the subtle changes in the expression on each other's faces.

Lu Chen asked, "Is the injury serious?"

Hou Yu laughed at himself: "I can't die. I didn't expect that I spent half my life in the army and survived countless dangerous situations on the battlefield, but I almost died on the bed in the most benevolent place like the capital."

This sentence was a little long, and it seemed to touch his wounds, making his expression slightly ferocious.

Lu Chen didn't answer the question, he still just looked at Hou Yu with a stern expression, and the two of them fell into silence again.

At this moment, even the upright soldiers noticed the strange atmosphere between the two princes.

The two of them didn't speak anymore, and others didn't dare to ask more questions.

Mo Yuan was now filled with royal guards and secret agents from the Sutra Weaving Department inside and outside. However, they almost turned Mo Yuan upside down and still could not find the assassin, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Because they were suspected of being related to the traitor, everyone in Moyuan, including the two oirans, were temporarily prohibited from leaving and had to wait for the Sutra Weaving Department to complete the review.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a loud noise outside, and then the second prince and Sutra Weaver Tiju Qin Zheng arrived hand in hand.

Hou Yu's soldiers left the bedroom. When the second prince walked in, he saw Hou Yu lying on the bed covered in blood, and his already frowned brows became more and more furrowed.

Just as he was about to ask, Lu Chen saluted first and said, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Nan'an was injured by an assassin. Fortunately, his life is not in danger, but the assassin is currently missing. I believe that this matter should be reported to Your Majesty immediately and handed over to the police at the same time." Zhongshu, Privy Council and Sutra Weaving Department investigate!”

The second prince was startled, and then saw Lu Chen's stern expression. He immediately stopped what he was about to say and nodded, "Okay."

Hou Yu, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He tried to get out of bed and salute the second prince, but he was immediately stopped by the second prince, and then he was diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor brought by the second prince.

Lu Chen and Qin Zheng's eyes met, and their expressions were a little solemn.

Hou Yu, a powerful prince and the general of Nanya of the Beijing Army, was assassinated on the territory of the second prince, and it happened two hours after he and Lu Chen almost had a fight. Coupled with the current turbulent situation in the capital, this assassination It is very likely to cause many unimaginable unexpected situations.

only……

Lu Chen turned to look at the injured Hou Yu again, with a touch of irony in his heart.
