From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 47 Someone wants to expose the secrets of the Eastern Palace!

The Dongyi assassin is like a customized big black pot.

Whenever someone is assassinated, no matter who it is, the first people they think of are them.

Any assassination for which no clues can be found or for which no reason can be found can be blamed on the Dongyi.

Anyway, there is a grand master in Dongyi City and many disciples, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Therefore, the great master Si Gu Jian is a bad apple that has ruined the political ecology of all countries.

Qin Yuan is the chief guard of the Eastern Palace, and it is not easy to assassinate him.

Normally, he is dressed in heavy armor and is surrounded by a large number of East Palace guards, making him difficult to assassinate.

However, the assassin is not that stupid.

Someone took advantage of Qin Yuan's rest time and suddenly assassinated him on the way back to Qin Mansion.

There are three assassins in total, each with sharp swordsmanship and powerful strength.

There were three assassins, one eighth-rank and two sixth-rank.

When Qin Yuan was alone and at his most relaxed, he was suddenly assassinated.

With such a configuration, it is enough to assassinate not only Qin Yuan but also Gong Dian.

But something went wrong.

In this assassination, Qin Yuan revealed his extraordinary strength that was beyond everyone's expectations.

After being hit by a sword first, he killed all three assassins with his unparalleled strength.

Witnesses said that Qin Yuan displayed an extremely ferocious fighting style, explosive power and amazing decisiveness, which was breathtaking.

Ninth-grade strength!
Isn't this a joke?
How old is Qin Yuancai?
Sixteen years old.

Ninth rank at the age of sixteen?

is it possible?

In today's world, below the four great masters, how many ninth-rank masters are there?
Qin Yuan is just a junior of the Qin family, and can even be said to be half an abandoned child. After Li Chengqian's leg was crippled, he can be said to be a marginal figure in the Qin family.

Is the Qin family so powerful?
Such a young genius was given to the prince like this?
I haven't seen anything special about him before!!
"So, one eighth-rank and two sixth-rank people attacked you secretly, and you were stabbed?" In the Qin Mansion, Li Chengqian sat in a wheelchair, looking at Qin Yuan, who was half lying on the bed with a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his chest, with a look of disgust.

"I, I am ashamed." Qin Yuan said with shame, "I, I didn't expect that someone would assassinate me."

"How many times have I told you that strengthening yourself isn't just about strength and speed? It requires a higher level of pursuit and a focused will. And you, on the other hand, didn't anticipate an assassination attempt, and you couldn't dodge it when someone tried to. With such mediocre skills and such vigilance, how could I expect you to protect me?"

In other words, Mao Qiwu was the only one following him in the room. Otherwise, seeing that Prince Chengqian faced a subordinate who was injured in an assassination, and did not offer the expected gentle comfort, but instead mocked and ridiculed him, the prince's reputation would surely be severely damaged again.

However, neither Mao Qiwu nor Qin Yuan had any other ideas, because what Li Chengqian said was the truth.

"I understand. My vigilance was indeed too low this time. I did sense something was wrong in advance, but I didn't have the appropriate response. After killing three people, I collapsed from heart and lung injuries. If there had been just one more assassin, I would have been finished." Qin Yuan said this, also with a look of deep reflection. "I will redouble my efforts, unite my will, and protect Your Highness."

"Okay, enough of the nonsense. What do you think about the origins of those assassins? Are they targeting your Qin family or the Eastern Palace?"

"The sword intentions of those people are confused, and they are obviously following Si Gu Jian's style, but it is really unclear who they are targeting." When Qin Yuan mentioned this issue, he felt his head was getting bigger. If you ask him to do it, he is very skilled, but if you ask him to analyze this, isn't it embarrassing?
"Forget it, just take care of your injuries." Unable to get any more information out of Qin Yuan, Li Chengqian patted the edge of the bed and said, "Don't overthink it, and don't slack off. Give my regards to General Qin."

"Yes!"

This time when Li Chengqian came to the Qin Mansion, he came when General Qin and Qin Ye were not at home. Qin Ye must have received the news and rushed back, but Li Chengqian had no intention of meeting them.

For no other reason than that I find it annoying!
"The leader of the guards of the Eastern Palace, a member of the Qin family, Qin Yuan, these are the two identities. Qi Wu, what do you think the assassin's purpose is?" On the way back, Li Chengqian touched his chin, guessing the purpose of these assassins.

"I don't know. I only know that no matter who they are and what their plans are, they will die." Mao Qiwu laughed softly.

"Well, that makes sense, Qi Wu. That's right. That's the right mindset. It seems you've remembered everything I told you. Keep it up." Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction. "Have the identities of those people been verified?"

"It's been verified, but it's useless," Mao Qiwu said. "Since the Northern Wei was defeated by Your Majesty, many remnants of the Northern Wei have become Si Gu Jian's disciples, in addition to the Northern Qi. These three people are from the Qian family, the former great generals of the Northern Wei. The eighth-rank one is Qian Wangdao, the right-wing general of the Qian family of the Northern Wei. His troops were defeated by General Qin's army. It is said that he changed into a soldier's clothes and escaped among the defeated soldiers. He was only a sixth-rank at the time, and his whereabouts are unknown after his escape."

"So, this is a national hatred or family feud?" Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes. With such an identity, it was not surprising for him to come and assassinate Qin Yuan. Because he had a grudge against the Qin family, and even more so against Daqing, it was not surprising for him to assassinate anyone.

But the same thing goes, why don’t they assassinate anyone else but you, Qin Yuan?

Do you smell good?
"Assassination, assassination, this is Qin Yuan killing the assassin. What do you think would happen if the assassination succeeded?"

"The assassination was successful?"

"Yes, the assassins this time are very powerful. Normally, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to dodge the assassination. They didn't know Qin Yuan's strength before, so they came with the intention of killing him. What do you think would happen if Qin Yuan died?"

"This..." Mao Qiwu paused slightly. "Qin Yuan is a member of the Qin family. If he dies, no matter what his status in the Qin family is, the Qin family will be furious and look for the murderer. The assassin is from Dongyi City, and General Qin is a pro-war faction, so..."

"So he will definitely advocate for an attack on the Dongyi in the court," Li Chengqian said. "Also, Qin Yuan is also the Imperial Tutor of the Eastern Palace and the Commander of the Imperial Guards. If he dies, it doesn't matter whether the Imperial Tutor position is increased or not, but the Emperor will definitely replace me with someone else to lead the Imperial Guards. Who do you think it will be?"

"This..." Mao Qiwu pondered for a moment, "You mean, there will be an outsider as the commander of the guards?"

"That's right, it must be like this." Li Chengqian seemed to have suddenly figured something out and punched his own palm. "Someone must be impatient and wants to expose our Eastern Palace."

Someone wants to uncover the East Palace!
Mao Qiwu's heart skipped a beat, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Your Highness, I will investigate this matter."

"No, there's no need to investigate." Li Chengqian shook his head. "Qin Yuan is dead. If Chen Mingde, the deputy commander, can't take over, then there are only a few people qualified to be the commander of the Eastern Palace guards. And among those few, there are only two who could be chosen by me to be my imperial tutors."

"Your Highness, are you really so sure that someone wants to break into the Eastern Palace?" At this time, Mao Qiwu was not sure.

How could the prince be so sure and come to such a conclusion with just a few words?
"Of course I'm not sure, but if this assassination attempt is related to the Eastern Palace, then this is the only possibility," Li Chengqian said. "But since their assassination attempt failed, the plan needs to be readjusted. Besides, plans are always better than changes. With a 16-year-old ninth-rank Qin Yuan, he's become a hot commodity!"
