Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 279 The assassin hidden among the killers!
"Sir, someone is coming!"

Hearing Sun Qiang's words, Su Chen's expression suddenly became more serious.

Although his attention was on the pedestrians on the street, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a few people who had just walked into the shop.

The other person's attention was not on him. He just sat down casually and ordered a pot of wine.

But after Sun Qiang's reminder, Su Chen discovered that these people's bodies were all in a tense state, as if they would suddenly attack and hurt people in the next second.

"How many can you handle?"

"Young Master is joking."

Sun Qiang looked calm, "As long as you are behind me, even if ten more come, it won't be a problem."

Su Chen: "Don't brag."

Sun Qiang: "... Sir, please trust me. They are definitely not my opponents. As long as you hide behind me, I will be able to guarantee your safety."

Hearing this, Su Chen looked at Sun Qiang with some surprise, as if this guy had not yet shown his true strength.

Su Chen nodded and his eyes fell on Li Chengqian and others outside.

Li Chengqian's arrival undoubtedly proved his importance to the Enlightenment School. Not only did he come in person, he also brought a number of officials with him.

Under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Works headed by Duan Lun, Li Chengqian followed them to inspect the newly built school.

As the Ministry of Works replaced the wood at the bottom of the school with stone, Li Chengqian, like many other ministers, checked the solidity of the stone.

After all, this is a place for teaching. If there are any quality problems, how can he, the promoter of the new enlightenment school, put his face?
"Please rest assured, Prince. Although the base structure of the building has been changed, it will become more stable after being made of stone. At the same time, when using stone to build the school, it can greatly reduce the transportation and felling of wood, saving a lot of time and money."

"Because the brick kiln is currently under construction, once it is completed, bricks can be fired. By then, we will use solid bricks to replace these wooden buildings."

Duan Lun explained to Li Chengqian and others with a smile on his face, "Everyone can take a closer look. With lime as a bonding agent, the degree of fit of these stones is no worse than that of glutinous rice juice."

Li Chengqian knocked on the stone wall in front of him and nodded, "We'll know how strong it is once we give it a try."

"I think many ministers in the court, as well as the people in Chang'an City, are also somewhat curious about this matter."

"Somebody come!"

Hegan Chengji came out.

"Your Highness."

"Try the hardness of this stone wall."

"Yes!"

Hegan Chengji took out the long sword from his belt without saying a word and slashed at the wall.

Ding.

Sparks flew, and the blade left only a shallow white mark on the wall.

Li Chengqian frowned, "Change the way."

Hegan Chengji nodded, picked up the uncleaned wood beside him, and rushed towards the stone wall.

Like a monk ringing a bell.

Bang!
A dull sound was heard, and apart from some scattered dust, there was nothing unusual.

Hegan Chengji struck him again, just as before.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "What do you think of the hardness of this stone wall?"

"Very solid."

"If it is used to build city walls at the border, the effect will be good."

"Master Pei, that's a good idea."

"..."

Li Chengqian smiled. Whether it would be used in the construction of the city wall was another matter. At least from this verification, the effectiveness of limestone in building walls was proved.

Li Chengqian: "Since it has passed the inspection, let's cap it."

Duan Lun nodded and waved to the craftsmen who had been waiting.

A group of craftsmen slowly lifted the pre-prepared four-corner roof via a cableway, and then aligned it with the reserved position above.

As the four corners of the room were roofed, Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said with a smile, "After the roof is sealed, we just need to put up the beams and it can be put into use."

"Master Duan, you have worked hard during this period. Once all the schools are built, I will definitely reward you from the Ministry of Works."

"Your Highness, you are too serious."

Duan Lun smiled and said, "I just tried my best to do my job, I don't deserve the Crown Prince's praise."

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, his eyes met with Li Daozon, who nodded secretly.

Li Chengqian said, "Since the roof of this academy has been completed, we will not disturb the craftsmen from working on it. Come back to the palace with me."

Li Chengqian took the lead, surrounded by officials, and walked out of the school together.

at the same time.

Lu Chengyu put down the wine glass in his hand and looked coldly at Li Chengqian and others who came out.

"Are you all ready?"

"Everything is ready!"

Lu Chengyu nodded and turned his gaze to Uncle Fu, "Uncle Fu, aim at the prince and shoot him to death!"

"it is good!"

Uncle Fu nodded, took out his crossbow, and aimed it at Li Chengqian below.

"Do it!"

At Lu Chengyu's command, an arrow instantly shot out from the crossbow in Fu Bo's hand.

Whoosh!
The arrow shot through the air.

The sudden appearance of the arrow did not cause Li Chengqian to panic because he was wearing soft armor!

Simultaneously.

The moment the arrow was shot, Hegan Chengji drew his sword and cut it off.

"Protect the prince!"

Whoosh whoosh.

The arrow shot by Uncle Fu was like an order.

At the same time he was beheaded by Hegan Chengji, more than a dozen arrows were shot towards Li Chengqian's location.

The guards, who had been prepared, took out their hidden shields and stood in front of Li Chengqian, protecting him like a ball.

Ding Ding Ding!
"Killed!"

"Run!"

"..."The sudden appearance of many arrows and the assassins with knives rushing towards Li Chengqian shocked the onlookers.

No one expected that coming here to join in the fun would actually lead to such a big event as the assassination of the prince!
They fled in panic.

"Arrests!"

Li Dao Zong shouted loudly.

The guards and soldiers who were lying in ambush in the dark suddenly rushed out together. In a blink of an eye, they blocked the two nearby streets.

Led by the Dali Temple patrol, they divided into four teams and went to stop the killers from all around.

There were also some people heading towards the building where the arrows came from.

……

Hands-on!
The scene outside was in full view. Su Chen felt nervous and suddenly thought of something.

At this time.

A cold knife light flashed in the peripheral vision.

It's Sun Qiang!
Ding!
Sun Qiang grinned and looked at the killer in front of him with a smile, "You are still too naive!"

"Kill Su Chen!"

Good guy!
Su Chen was amazed at these people's control of timing.

Just when his attention was drawn to the assassination of Li Chengqian, they suddenly took action.

If Sun Qiang hadn't been watching over them, he would have been chopped to death just now.

"kill me?"

Su Chen sneered and raised his hand to shoot him.

"Sir, step back. They are just some petty thieves. I don't care about them!"

Sun Qiang protected Su Chen with his left hand and held the knife in his right hand. He stood firm like a mountain despite the siege of several opponents.

It looks like I don't need to take any action?
Su Chen held the gun and looked around. At this moment, everyone looked like a killer in his eyes.

"Everyone who has nothing to do with you, please leave immediately!"

Su Chen shouted.

Those guests who were still hiding aside to watch the show or hiding themselves looked at Su Chen and did not move.

Su Chen: "They will be so bloodthirsty that they won't care whether you are the enemy or not!"

"If you don't want to die, get out now!"

Bang.

As Su Chen finished speaking, Sun Qiang kicked a killer away.

The killer stood up and lifted up the table in front of him, using it as a throwing weapon to hit Sun Qiang.

Sun Qiang turned around, jumped up, and gave a beautiful flying kick, which not only kicked the table away, but also hit the killer who was rushing towards him.

"...?"

The person hiding under the table was trembling.

The killer grabbed a man and threw him towards Sun Qiang, stabbing him with the steel knife in his hand.

"what……"

"Into your mother!"

“Save me, save me…”

Sun Qiang didn't even look at him and pulled Su Chen away.

Bang!
The unlucky guy fell heavily on the pillar and couldn't help wailing, but when he saw the killers chasing Su Chen and the other two aggressively, he endured the pain, got up and ran away.

Seeing this, the other people in the shop didn't dare to stay any longer.

How can life be more important than watching a play?
In the blink of an eye.

Only Su Chen and his companions and the five killers opposite were left in the shop.

and many more.

When Su Chen looked at him, he felt unwell.

More than thirty killers rushed in from outside.

Why are there so many remnants of the Lu family?

Could it be that they are all coming for me? ?
"Don't panic, sir, Lu Fei is here!"

Lu Fei took the lead and rushed forward with a dozen brothers.

Faced with these killers, Lu Fei and others were like tigers descending from the mountains.

"It seems that I don't need to take action anymore."

Su Chen smiled and put away the gun. He believed that wealth should not be shown to others. There was no need to expose the secret that he owned a gun just because of a few killers.

"Sir, something is wrong."

With the joining of Lu Fei and others, Sun Qiang's pressure was greatly reduced. He even jumped out of the battlefield directly, protecting Su Chen and not killing the enemy with Lu Fei and others.

"what happened?"

"There are a lot of them, and they have clear goals."

Sun Qiang said slowly, "It seems that these people are not coming for the prince, but specifically for you!"

Coming specifically for me?
Su Chen raised his eyebrows, "Is there someone who wants to take this opportunity to kill me?"

Sun Qiang: “Very likely!”

Su Chen looked outside, but because of the fight between Lu Fei and others, passers-by were fleeing in all directions and he couldn't see clearly. The sounds of cursing and fighting were endless.

"Go upstairs."

Under Sun Qiang's protection, Su Chen came to the second floor and looked at the street outside.

The remnants of the Lu family are being surrounded and killed by a large number of officers and soldiers.

"If nothing unexpected happens, these people should be the remnants of the Lu family."

Su Chen pondered and looked towards the stairs. So who sent these people to surround and kill him?
"Lu Chengyu, surrender."

Li Chengqian looked calmly at Lu Chengyu and others who were surrounded, "You have no chance."

"Li Chengqian!"

"I won't let you go even if I die!"

"kill!"
