Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 833 Witnesses
The next day, evening.

The sky is burning with clouds layer upon layer, rendering the sky in full swing. On a spacious official road, a team escorts a carriage forward. It may be a day of running around. It is rare that the sky is beautiful in the evening, and the horses are not running fast.

When passing by a bamboo forest, the sound of trampling horseshoes alarmed the birds perched on the trees, flapping their wings and fleeing for their lives.

The leading man frowned, looked around, and said, "Be alert!"

These flying birds are not so timid, such a faint sound of horse hooves can scare them, and the place is also eerily quiet, which makes people faintly uneasy.

"Get out of here quickly," the man said.

As he spoke, he was about to run forward as soon as he clamped his horse's belly, but at this moment, an arrow shot towards him.

The man's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. On one side of his body, the arrow shot back against his face, but was blocked by another man with his sword. The direction of the arrow turned, and the big tree that was bathed in the sunset was indiscriminately hit.

The man's face was cold, and arrows shot towards them like rain.

The arrow in his hand spun fast and knocked the arrow to the ground, but there were too many arrows, and the guard behind him was hit by arrows and fell from the horse's back.

The carriage they were guarding behind them had [-] or [-] arrows pierced into it, but there were no guards guarding the carriage, and those who hid in the hidden guard knew that there was something wrong with the carriage. In fact, they also knew from the wheel marks on the carriage that the marks were deeper than ordinary carriages. Quite a bit, the carriage was specially made.

"kill!"

With an order, the people in the dark rushed out, swords met, and there was a clanging sound, and the birds in the distance did not dare to linger, and flapped their wings to escape.

The two sides killed each other hard, the guards protected the carriage to keep people from approaching, but the assassin came for the carriage, jealous of the killing, and finally got close to the carriage.

As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, three short arrows flew out, killing two people in an instant, and one person managed to avoid it. His face was as ugly as he wanted. It wasn't that he was almost killed just now, as an assassin , Lived the days of licking blood on the sword, he had already put life and death aside, what made him change his face was that there was no one in the carriage at all!
"We fell for it!" The man almost gritted his silver teeth.

They backed away, and the guards stopped, and sneered, "How can you not be on guard against such an important witness? Go back and tell your master that the witness has been secretly sent to Beijing at this moment. He should know if he has the guts to falsely preach the imperial decree." What are the consequences of doing this!"

The assassin held the sword in his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. Looking at the corpses on the ground, most of them were their brothers, their eyes were bloodshot with hatred, they turned around and fled without staying.

This is a trap, people have expected that they will come to kill people, how could they succeed?
If the fight continues, not only will both sides suffer, no one will pass the news back, the witness is a knife hanging over their lord's head, and they will kill their lord at any time!

Watching the assassin flee, the guard on the side said, "Aren't you chasing him?"

"It's just a poor bandit, there's no need to chase after him," the man said disdainfully.

Kill all the people, and whoever reports the letter to King Liang will not deliver the letter, and the next play will be difficult to perform.

The man turned around to support the seriously injured guard and said, "Bandage the wound on the spot."

What they escorted was just an empty carriage, so there was no need to hurry back to Beijing, what they had to do was to weaken the enemy's strength while minimizing casualties.

Let’s talk about the group of assassins who were waiting in ambushes full of ambitions to go back to claim credit for the King of Liang with their witnesses and heads. As a result, the assassins suffered heavy casualties and fled in despair. It was as embarrassing as possible.

Before the city gate was closed, they hurried back to Beijing, and after making sure that no one was following them, they returned to Prince Liang's Mansion.

Liang Wang was worried about witnesses, and he didn't have any appetite for dinner. He was worried when the hidden guard came in and said, "My lord, the man is back."

King Liang was overjoyed, "Let them in."

The door of the study room opened, and the three assassins walked in. Seeing them, King Liang's expression turned cold, "Why did you come back empty-handed?"

Not only did the assassin return empty-handed, but they also had wounds on their bodies. The three of them knelt down to King Liang and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. It's not that your subordinates are not doing their job well. It's really a trick. The guards of Rong Wang's Mansion are escorting a carriage back. Beijing, but there is no one in the carriage, and the witnesses have been secretly escorted back to Beijing."

King Liang is a smart man. After the assassin said this, he guessed that Prince Rong deliberately released fake news, and asked his people to send it back to him to lure him into the bait!
The servant he had placed in Prince Rong's mansion had long been exposed, but Prince Rong didn't reveal it, so that one day he could follow his tricks!

The dark guard stood aside, and said uneasy in his heart, "My lord, what should we do now?"

The person the prince sent to the border to announce the decree is the prince's confidant, and his mouth should have not confessed yet. Rong Wang's son must have suspected the prince, and there is no conclusive evidence, so he set up this game so that the prince will not confess himself.

King Liang was exhausted, propped his hands on the desk and said, "Let me go and find out where the witness is locked!"

No matter what, he must not allow anyone to testify before the emperor!
The dark guard turned and left.

The three assassins stood up, and although they simply bandaged the wounds, they hurried back to Beijing, the wounds had already burst open, and they left the study room after taking leave with King Liang.

The beautiful sky turned gray at some point, as if it was about to change at any moment, which made people inexplicably depressed and a little out of breath.

The next day was the day when the imperial court took a rest.

Prince Rong ordered a private room in the restaurant, ordered a table of food, and was drinking wine when the door was knocked, "Master, King Liang is here."

Prince Rong smiled, "Let him in."

After the door opened, Liang Wang walked in with a gloomy expression, and said, "It seems that you have expected that I will come to you."

Prince Rong said with a smile, "It took so much effort to bring the witness card back to Beijing. How could it be so easy for you to find it, Uncle Liang? You have no choice but to come to me."

A few days ago, the Lantern Festival was also held in this private room. Prince Rong and King Liang tested each other, but no one got what they wanted to know. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, they were chatting about the same topic again in the same private room.

Liang Wang sat opposite Rong Wang Shizi, put the jade fan on the table in his hand and said, "I sent someone to pass the imperial decree, but it was to honor the emperor and leave the eldest princess and Zhennan Wang Shizi in my Beiyue!"

Once North Vietnam and the Dajing Dynasty start a war, the North Vietnam Emperor will definitely not let Dingbeihou and Su Shi leave.

What is more certain is that the emperor of Beiyue thought that the Su family and Ming concubine could stay in Beiyue, but he definitely did not want to use the way they hated him to keep people but not their hearts. What's the point?
Rong Wang Shizi took vegetables to eat, and didn't talk to Liang Wang at all. None of them knew who, it was difficult to fool others with these words, let alone him Rong Wang Shizi.

King Liang's fists creaked. He didn't expect to be forced to give in to Prince Rong, but Prince Rong was waiting for him here, which meant that there was still a turning point for this matter. King Liang doubted, "Is it true at all? No witnesses?!"
