"Soon, soon. Everyone, don't be anxious."
Hearing the guest's urging, Zhangsun Wuji smiled and comforted him.
Then, he instructed his second son, Zhangsun Huan, in a low voice,"Go and get someone to urge your big brother. What's the point of showing off in front of those commoners? The officials of the imperial court in this residence should be the ones he should focus on!”
"Yes, Father."
Zhangsun Huan replied with a calm expression and walked into the distance with his sleeves up.
Suddenly!
"Master!"
A loud shout came from outside the door.
Zhangsun Wuji's expression changed. He pointed at the door and said to the officials happily,"See, my son and princess are about to arrive!”
"Hahahaha, Prince Consort and Princess are here? Then we'll have to take a good look at this couple!”
All the officials laughed and looked up, looking forward to seeing the princess of Changle, who was rumored to be beautiful and beautiful.
However!
A group of figures stumbled in from outside and knelt on the ground.
The leader said,
"Master, something bad has happened!"
Zhangsun Wuji's expression froze. Before he could speak, the third son, Sun Jun, who was beside him, cursed angrily,"You dog slave, what nonsense are you spouting on such a big day!”
"No, Third Young Master! It's really bad. Eldest Young Master, he..."
"What happened to my big brother?"
Zhangsun Jun frowned.
Zhangsun Wuji's heart tightened.
The servant on the ground said with a trembling voice,""Eldest Young Master, he…He was killed by an assassin!"
The originally noisy courtyard suddenly became deathly silent.
Several court officials stood up abruptly and looked at each other.
Zhangsun Jun's handsome face changed, and he suddenly became furious."
"Alright, you dog slave. Do you think that my big brother has mistreated you? How dare you curse my big brother on his wedding day! Men, drag this dog slave down and beat him to death!”
After saying that, Zhangsun Jun wanted to step forward and kick this person over personally.
Zhangsun Wuji stopped his third son.
His eyes flickered as he walked to the servant who reported the news and said calmly,"Where would an assassin come from under the feet of the Son of Heaven?”
"Master, I don't know either, but that assassin was very powerful. So many people couldn't stop him, and he even killed hundreds of people on the street. The corpses are almost piled up into a mountain!
The Eldest Young Master was also killed by the assassin!”
The servant gestured with a frightened expression and cried bitterly.
"That's right, Old Master. All the commoners on the long street have seen this. There... That place had already become Asura Hell!”
The other servants echoed.
Recalling the scene of the piles of corpses on Vermilion Bird Avenue, their bodies kept trembling.
Thump thump!
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes turned black as he fell backward.
"Father!"
Zhangsun Jun and Zhangsun Huan, who had run over from afar, hurriedly supported him.
The guests in the courtyard looked at each other in disbelief.
Such a big thing had actually happened in the Imperial Capital!
Was he trying to stir up trouble in the sky?
This was a serious matter, and the officials all stood up to take their leave, especially the generals in charge of guarding the imperial capital. They did not dare to stay for a moment longer and hurriedly left.
Suddenly.
A burly man with a curly beard walked over. He grabbed the collar of a messenger and said,"Where's the princess? How is the princess now?"
This person was none other than Duke Lu, Cheng Yaojin, who was known as the Demon King of Chaos.
"Princess…Princess probably won't be able to live either. That assassin is too ruthless, he simply kills without blinking…"
The servant shrunk his neck and replied in horror.
"Humph! I'll go and see who dares to commit murder in Chang 'an!”
Cheng Yaojin strode away.
A few other generals left as well.
In the blink of an eye, the guests in Duke Zhao's estate had all left. The courtyard that was previously filled with joy had instantly become extremely desolate.
"Father!"
Zhangsun Huan and Zhangsun Jun rubbed their father's philtrum and finally woke him up.
"Quickly prepare the carriage and bring Father to take a look.”
The first thing Zhangsun Wuji did when he woke up was to order his two sons to prepare a carriage.
"Father, others have already said that there are very powerful assassins there. If we go, what if..."
Zhangsun Jun was young and said with some fear.
"Bastard!"
Zhangsun Wuji glared at him." I don't believe that anyone in Chang 'an would dare to assassinate my son at his wedding. I don't believe that such a thing would happen if I didn't see your brother. Go now!"”
Zhangsun Jun lowered his head and walked away.
...
Creak!
The sound of rolling wheels came closer.
Zhangsun Wuji, who came out of the manor, had just arrived at Vermilion Bird Street when he smelled the thick smell of blood in the air.
Rows of solemn Imperial Guards had sealed off the entire street.
Zhangsun Wuji's heart trembled. When he heard the horse groom's report, his face could not help but turn ashen.
"Lord Zhangsun."
A commander of the Sixteenth Guard rode forward and stopped the carriage.
"Lord Zhangsun, it's dangerous ahead. Please leave.”
Zhangsun Wuji grabbed the hands of his two sons and widened his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said,"This old man wants to see my son. Does General Zhou also want to stop me?”
The general outside the carriage sighed softly and retreated with cupped fists.
"I don't dare."
Upon hearing this sigh, Zhangsun Wuji felt his heart being gripped tightly by someone, as if he was about to suffocate.
"Giddyup!"
The coachman raised his whip and drove the carriage forward quickly.
