"Protect His Majesty!"
Li Si quickly shouted.
Seeing that someone was about to assassinate Ying Zheng, Wang Jian hurriedly pulled out his sword and stood in front of Ying Zheng, blocking the assassin's attack.
Meanwhile, Li Si escorted Ying Zheng back into the city.
"Tyrant, give me your life."
Right at this moment, a man in black in the city suddenly leaped up and thrust his sword towards Ying Zheng.
This sword attack came too suddenly. Before Li Si could react, the long sword had already approached Ying Zheng.
Right at this moment, a figure appeared in front of Ying Zheng like a ghost.
Clang!
He only gently waved the sword in his hand, and the sword in the assassin's hand was cut off.
"What?"
Seeing the sword in his hand cut off, the assassin let out a surprised cry.
"You actually dared to assassinate me. Kill them all, leave no one alive.”
Ying Zheng had been holding the Emperor's Sword tightly, but he did not make a move.
At this moment, when he saw Ying Yun cut off the assassin's sword, his face turned gloomy as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
At this moment, Wang Ben rushed to Ying Zheng's side and asked.
"I'm fine," replied Ying Zheng.
"General Wang, protect my father and return to the palace. Leave this place to me." Ying Yun said.”
"Alright."
Wang Ben knew that Ying Yun was powerful, so he did not hesitate to protect Ying Zheng and retreat to Xianyang Palace.
After Ying Zheng left, Ying Yun looked at the assassin and said,""You actually dared to assassinate my father in Xianyang. I have to say that you remnants of the six dynasties are really willing to risk your lives to assassinate my father.”
" Ying Zheng is a tyrant," the assassin said." Everyone in the world has the right to kill him. I only regret that I didn't kill him with a single sword strike just now."”
"As long as you tell me who ordered you to come, I might let you live." Ying Yun said.”
"Do you think I'll believe you?" The assassin sneered. Everyone says that your martial arts are very powerful. I want to see it today.”
After he finished speaking, he brandished half of his long sword and stabbed it towards Ying Yun.
"Even with a sword in hand, you are still not my match. Now that you only have half a sword, you still dare to attack. I don't even know where you got your courage from.”
As these words rang out, Ying Yun's figure flashed as he slashed out with his sword.
Clang!
Puchi!
After the two swords collided, the broken sword in the assassin's hand was broken again.
As for Ying Yun, he had used too much strength in his sword. After cutting through his sword, he had also cut off one of his arms.
The Seven-star Dragon Abyss Sword was already very sharp, and with Ying Yun's full strength, he could easily split a rock apart, let alone a sword.
Ah!
With his arm cut off, the assassin let out a scream.
"Sir."
"Sir."
Among the assassins, there were two tall ones. When they saw the assassin's arm being cut off by Ying Yun, they rushed over.
When they got close, one of the assassins said,"You stop him, I'll take Mister away.”
"If you want to take him away, none of you can leave today.”
After saying that, he brandished his sword and charged at the assassin who had lost his arm.
Ying Yun could already tell that this person was their leader.
As long as he killed the other party, the others would be nothing to worry about.
However…
Just as he was about to get close to the assassin with the severed arm, one of the tall and burly men suddenly rushed over and hugged him.
"Quickly take Mister away."
After hugging Ying Yun, this brawny man shouted at another brawny man.
Ying Yun frowned after being hugged.
He had never thought that the other party would use such a method to tie him down.
"Hmph, you're courting death."
However, this method could not trap him.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was used, and Ying Yun was shocked.
Puff!
The brawny man spat out a mouthful of blood and let go of his hand.
When Ying Yun looked at the assassin with a broken arm, he found that the other party had already disappeared.
Ying Yun saw this and could only help Wang Jian kill the assassin.
With Ying Yun's help, all the assassins were quickly killed.
Ying Yun had wanted to keep him alive, but before they could ask, the other party had taken poison and committed suicide.
"Looks like this is a planned assassination.”
After Wang Jian put away his sword, he looked at the corpse on the ground and said.
Ying Yun said,"It's a pity that the leader ran away. Otherwise, we should be able to get some information."”
Wang Jian said," You've already tried your best. At that time, in that kind of situation, the outcome would be the same for whoever it was.”
"Alright, let's return to the palace!"
Soon, everyone returned to Xianyang Palace.
In Zhangtai Palace.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was sitting on the dragon throne, looking at all the officials with a gloomy face.
As everyone arrived, Li Si walked out and cupped his hands.""Your Majesty, I believe that the Zhao Manor is to blame for this assassination.”
" That's right," Feng Quji said." He even swore that he would take responsibility for the matter. But before he could say anything, someone came out to assassinate His Majesty. How audacious."”
Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Zhao Gao and said,""Zhao Gao, how do you explain this?”
Thud!
Zhao Gao knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that they would sneak in, and I didn't expect that they would dare to assassinate Your Majesty in Xianyang. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to let them in even if I had a hundred guts.”
"Yes, Father. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame these assassins for being too arrogant," said Huhai.”
"If you can think of anything, would you still be called an assassin?" Li Si sneered.”
"If Young Master Ying Yun hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid that His Majesty would have already died.”
Wang Jian said," This matter can be said to be the dereliction of duty of the Zhao Manor. As for how to deal with it, it still depends on Your Majesty.”
" He said that he wanted to make a military pledge, so His Majesty punished him severely," Li Si said.”
"Zhao Gao, what do you think we should do?" asked Ying Zheng with a dark face.”
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me," Zhao Gao hurriedly kowtowed.”
"On account of the fact that you once saved me and served me diligently all these years, you will be demoted by three ranks and fined three thousand strings of salary. If you dare to commit this crime again, you will be sentenced to death.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Zhao Gao was extremely excited and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.
Originally, his dereliction of duty should have been a capital offense.
However, Ying Zheng had only demoted him by three ranks, and fined him three thousand strings of salary, which was already an exceptional mercy.
In his eyes, as long as Ying Zheng did not kill him, he would have a chance to return to Ying Zheng's side.
Looking at Wang Jian, Ying Zheng asked,""General Wang, you and your son have contributed greatly to the destruction of the Great Yue Clan. What reward do you want?”
Wang Jian cupped his hands and said," I don't want any credit. It was all thanks to Young Master's help that I was able to destroy the Great Yue Clan this time."”
" In that case, I will allow you to retire and return to your hometown." Ying Zheng pondered for a while and said," As for your position, your son, Wang Ben, will take it. What do you think?"”
"We will follow Your Majesty's arrangements."
"Alright, then it's settled."
" Your Majesty," Li Si said," I've just received news that the food supplies in many parts of the country are running out. If we don't have food supplies soon, I'm afraid there will be riots."”
" Half of the country's grain has been bought by Xiang Liang," Feng Quji said." He probably wants to wait for the people to riot."”
Ying Zheng frowned, looked at Ying Yun and said,""Yun 'er, I remember you saying that the grains you grow will be ripe in two months. It has been almost two months since you planted them.”
"It's about time. How about this, I'll go to Liquan County to take a look." Ying Yun said.”
After saying that, Ying Yun turned around and left.
" Wang Ben," Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben and said," You go with Ying Yun. Remember, make sure to keep him safe."”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't let anything happen to Young Master.”
