He smelled the thick smell of blood in the air.
Under the watchful eyes of the imperial guards, Zhangsun Wuji slowly walked towards his eldest son's corpse.
With every step he took, he felt as if he had aged a year.
When he reached the eldest son, he seemed to have lost all his strength. He knelt on the ground and touched his son's cold body with both hands, sobbing silently.
Zhangsun Chong was the son that Zhangsun Wuji had placed the most hopes on.
Zhangsun Wuji was transferring his life's efforts and plans to his son step by step.
Today.
It was also the day when his Zhangsun family was favored by all the officials and enjoyed endless glory.
But why?
It would end like this.
Why did he have to send his son away?
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes were filled with hatred.
Although the eldest son was arrogant, conceited, and extremely cruel, this was his son!
No matter how many flaws and mistakes the Zhangsun Clan had, no one dared to say anything against them.
Who was it?
Who killed his most beloved son!
Zhangsun Wuji lay on the cold corpse of his beloved son, sobbing softly, wishing that he was dead.
He would not let the murderer of his son off easily.
He would find the murderer.
He wanted to make the murderer suffer a fate worse than death!
...
Yin Yang Hall.
A group of generals stood below the hall.
"Your Majesty, the 500 imperial guards who escorted the princess were all killed.”
"The four hundred guards of the Duke Zhao Residence were all killed.”
"Fuma…The Duke was also killed by an assassin."
"In addition, we found Lord Seven Kills 'corpse in an alley in Xi City.”
Li Shi Min's face twitched after every report.
In the end, he tried his best to suppress the anger and doubts in his heart and asked in a low voice,"Where's the princess?"
The generals 'expressions changed.
"Your Majesty, the princess…He's missing."
Clang!
A teacup suddenly flew out from Li Shimin's hand.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The generals knelt on the ground, silent like cicadas in winter.
"Pass down my order. The entire city is under martial law. Only entry is allowed and no exit is allowed. Search every house for me and do not let go of any suspicious person!”
"If we can't find the assassin and princess by tomorrow, I'll hold you responsible!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The generals ordered and turned to leave.
"Wuwu, bengong's Le 'er!”
Outside the hall, a beautiful woman, supported by a maid, walked in with tears on her face.
"Guanyin maid."
Li Shi Min walked down from the Dragon Hall and supported the beautiful woman.
"Your Majesty, where is Le 'er? Quickly send someone to find Le' er!”
Zhangsun Wugou's face was covered in tears as he pleaded in a mournful voice.
Li Shi Min held her in his arms and comforted her,"Don't worry, no one dares to touch my daughter. I've already sent people to look for her.”
"What if Cola is…"
Zhangsun Wugou raised his teary eyes.
"It won't happen.
If anyone dares to do this, I will make them regret being born into this world.”
Li Shiming's eyes flashed with killing intent as he patted Zhangsun Wugou's back. He then signaled for the palace maids to send Zhangsun Wugou back to the Political Hall.
After everyone had left the hall, Li Shiming clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the darkness on both sides of the hall.
"Capture the assassin and hand him over to me for interrogation. I want to know what kind of conspiracy is behind this assassination.
Also, tell Pojun to find the princess if she is still alive.”
In the darkness, no one responded.
Only the faint sound of the wind could be heard.
The hall was deathly silent.
Li Shi Min sat alone on the dragon throne, his eyes closed in deep thought.
Even a thousand riders couldn't catch the assassin.
Even!
Even the Thousand Cavalry Commander, Qi Sha, was killed by the assassin!
What a powerful assassin.
Who sent this person?
What did this incident mean?
Was it a spy from the enemy country who wanted to create chaos, or was it some big family who was starting to become restless and wanted to become enemies with him?
Li Shi Min narrowed his narrow eyes as a look of surprise flashed across his face.
No matter what the outcome was, he would not let it go.
He had to find out the truth!
...
