Chapter 88: hidden murder
Haoyue Villa, the residence of the first prince.
"Your Highness, the assassination failed."
At this moment, in the hall, a servant knelt down nervously to report a news.
The assassination failed.
"Failed?"
The eldest prince Xia Ren narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise.
He asked indifferently: "Say, why did he fail? Could it be that the father sent a master to protect him?"
"This..." The servant hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, the specific situation is unclear, I only know that those people are dead."
"Furthermore, His Royal Highness has already come out of the palace."
The chamberlain made the shocking news.
It was true that the assassination failed, the ninth prince Xia Chen came out of the palace, and the news surprised the eldest prince.
"How dare you leave the palace?" A sneer appeared on his face.
The eldest prince Xia Ren thought silently and hummed, "It's not easy to do something in the palace. It's normal for the assassination to fail. I didn't expect that the old nine would dare to leave the palace."
"Very well, since you came out, don't go back."
Speaking of this, Xia Ren's eyes flashed fiercely.
"Send the order to spread the news that His Royal Highness is about to be crowned prince, and by the way, let my second brother and third brother know the news."
"This king wants to see how Lao Jiu died tragically this time."
The eldest prince showed a sneer when he finished speaking, and he already had murderous intentions towards Xia Chen.
The previous assassination was arranged by him, but unfortunately it failed, it was not easy to kill in the palace, but now it is easier to do it when it comes out.
The news of Xia Chen's departure from the palace quickly spread in the ears of all the forces in the imperial city.
........
"Tsk tsk, Lao Jiu actually dares to leave the palace?"
The second prince who received the news, Xia Yi, also showed a sneer.
He summoned a large number of masters and was discussing the ninth prince Xia Chen, but he didn't expect to run out of the palace by himself.
"His Royal Highness, it is a good opportunity for the ninth prince to leave the palace."
Someone next to me immediately suggested that this is a good opportunity.
As long as this ninth prince is removed, Emperor Xia can't even be angry, so he can only choose a new prince, and then it depends on the strength and means of others.
"Okay, you can send a few people to kill Lao Jiu outside the palace and do it cleanly."
The second prince looked cold and made a decision directly.
He wanted to send someone to kill the ninth prince to avoid mistakes.
"Yes!"
The order was issued, and immediately two masters led the order and withdrew.
Action here, other forces.
For example, the third prince and the fourth prince each have their own conspiracies and plans.
As soon as Xia Chen came out of the palace, he immediately attracted countless attention. There was no way, who let him be pushed out by Emperor Xia and directly became a bullseye.
At this time, on the top floor of the palace, the Hall of Astrology, Emperor Xia was silently looking out at the magnificent imperial city outside.
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Highness has left the palace with only two maids."
"Are you sending someone to protect you?"
Behind him, Eunuch Tan carefully reported a news.
When Emperor Xia heard this, his eyes shone brightly.
"Out of the palace?" He was surprised that this kid dared to go out of the palace.
Don't you notice that countless eyes and crises are locking on him.
"It's okay to go out, to attract the attention of all parties, I just took the opportunity to complete the next plan."
Xia Huang's face was expressionless, not even a single change.
As if Xia Chen was just a chess piece in his eyes, even his own son.
Intimacy is different.
"Has someone brought it back?" Xia Huang asked without looking back.
I saw a man in black kneeling quietly behind him: "Go back to Your Majesty, Your Highness has already picked it up and is arranging to wait for His Majesty in the East Palace."
"Very good." Xia Huang's eyes were bright and glowing.
He said indifferently: "Zhen, I have painstakingly cultivated secretly for 18 years, and finally I have to complete the last step."
"Next, I will clear the obstacles and clear everything for my little eleven."
"Come here, send an order, and call the ministers of civil and military affairs to the court."
With an order, the inside and outside of the palace began to boil, and the undercurrent was turbulent.
Xia Huang began to act.
........
Outside the palace, Xia Chen took two personal maids out of the palace and came to the imperial city.
The huge imperial city is prosperous and prosperous, but there is a huge danger behind it.
As soon as he left the palace, Xia Chen clearly felt a series of obscure murderous intentions.
He looked cold and hummed, "Sure enough, you all want to kill me."
"Be careful, Your Highness, there are murderous intentions all around."
The two maids were alert and hurried to remind.
One of them reminded: "His Royal Highness, it is too dangerous for you to come out like this, it is safer to return to the palace."
"It's okay, just look at it."
Xia Chen's face was calm and calm, and after speaking, he spread out his hands, and rows of silver needles naturally floated up.
This scene made the eyes of the two maids widen, looking at the flying silver needles, which were densely flying around.
The two of them breathed for a while, and their hearts were extremely shocked.
Xia Chen, the ninth prince, actually manipulated silver needles to fly back and forth in the air, and the naked eye couldn't catch it at all.
shhhhhh...
I saw the silver needle flickered and disappeared.
At this time, all the people hidden around were quietly staring at Xia Chen.
"The target appears, do it!"
In the corner, a group of men in black silently gestured, and issued a raid order for the first person.
But when the order was issued, there was no movement. The men in black beside him were silent and motionless.
"You bastard, you still haven't started?"
The leader of the man in black was furious and was about to scold.
Suddenly aware that something was wrong, these men in black all had dull eyes, and suddenly fell down slowly, without a sound.
"What's going on?" The leader of the man in black was shocked, looking at the strange scene in front of him in horror.
A group of his subordinates suddenly fell down inexplicably.
He felt a chill in his heart, and after careful observation, he found that there was a blood-red spot between the eyebrows of the fallen men in black.
It was this blood spot that caused the fatal blow, killing him on the spot.
"When?" The black-clothed leader's expression froze, his heart terrified.
I didn't see anyone at all just now. Why did my group of men suddenly die, and they died silently, frightening the man in black.
"escape!"
The leader of the man in black realized that the situation was not right, there were masters here and he had to escape.
Just as he took a leap and wanted to escape, a silver needle whistled.
"Not good!" The black-clothed leader's heart tightened, his eyebrows twitched, and he felt a strong death crisis.
puff!
I didn't have time to react, I only felt a chill between my brows and a buzzing sound in my head, my consciousness instantly fell into darkness, and there was no sound at all.
There was a silver needle penetrating through his head, and his brain was directly shattered by the power carried by the silver needle, and he died tragically on the spot.
shhhhh...
Xia Chen walked step by step, surrounded by silver needles, lasing away from time to time, and quickly flew back.
The two maids next to them looked horrified. They saw with their own eyes that the killers hidden around were all pierced by silver needles, killing them on the spot.
Kill one step at a time, or even ten kills in one step.
The hidden killers around were all killed without exception.
In the corner, in the bushes, lay corpses one after another, with only a blood spot left between the eyebrows, other than that, there was no extra scar on the body.
No matter who it was, strength or weakness, all of them were killed with one blow, and even the two hidden masters suffered and died on the spot.
It was too late to resist, and he was instantly killed.
Xia Chen's strength is truly invincible.
"You are waiting for me here."
After killing all the killers and assassins around, Xia Chen left a sentence and disappeared without waiting for the two maids to react.
Only the two maids stood on the ground and looked at each other, looked around, and saw countless corpses lying around.
Xia Chen left behind two personal maids, and came to Haoyue Villa alone, flew down directly, and walked towards the first prince's residence.
Obviously to deal with the eldest prince.
Since the other party has made a move, there is nothing to say.
"who!"
"Break into Haoyue Villa and kill without mercy."
As soon as Xia Chen fell, without any concealment, he immediately alerted the guards here.
He didn't hide anything, and walked step by step to the hall where the first prince's breath was.
At this moment, a large number of guards and experts gathered around.
