Chapter 784

When boarding the ship at the pier, the situation inevitably became chaotic.

At this time, no one noticed that a figure had mixed into their team and followed them onto the ship.

Several hundred people sat fully in five large ships.

The fleet set off majestically, sailing downstream.

Passing through Pengcheng.

At night.

The large ships rested by the shore, and everyone slept on the ships.

On the shore, dozens of black shadows quietly lurked in the water, approaching the large ships.

Li Er was in the ship, completely unaware of the situation outside.

He, Fang Xuanling, and Li Ke were in the cabin, enjoying new-style songs and dances.

Li Er looked at these song and dance teachers recruited from the brothel, feeling that each of them was a treasure to be brought back to the Great Tang, which would definitely make the Great Tang's entertainment develop rapidly.

He also wanted to learn from Great Qin and stimulate the vitality of the common people in the world.

He had already seen what kind of miracles vibrant common people could bring.

Just then.

Li Ke suddenly raised his hand, letting all the singing girls and dancing girls be quiet.

"Did you hear the thumping sound?"

Everyone listened intently, but none of them found anything.

Li Er was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Ke interrupting the singing and dancing.

"Ke'er, don't be suspicious. Before, it was probably because you were too suspicious that you thought Qingque wanted to kill you!" This was a bit too much.

Along the way, Li Er had never looked favorably upon Li Ke.

As a prince of the Great Tang, he was now a minister of Great Qin.

This made him, the Great Tang Emperor, have no face at all.

But Li Ke could command all the singing girls and dancing girls and also brought a large number of books, as well as musical scores and dance scores.

Even if Li Er was dissatisfied with him, he didn't dare to go too far and could only find some cheap talk verbally.

After finishing with Li Ke, Li Er greeted the singing girls to continue singing.

Completely ignoring Li Ke's warning.

Fang Xuanling had always been a peacemaker between the two. He didn't want to offend Li Ke because of this.

He pulled Li Ke and said.

"Mr. Li, if you are worried, let's go out and patrol. In this wilderness, we should indeed be careful."

The two hadn't gone out yet, when suddenly several black-clad men killed their way in.

They held exquisite small crossbows in their hands. After breaking in, they rushed straight at Li Er, their target very clear!

Li Er stood up abruptly and saw several black-clad men slashing at him at the same time.

He didn't carry any weapons on him, and at this moment, he was unarmed and unable to parry at all!

Just at the moment of crisis, he saw Li Ke carrying a small table, blocking the black-clad men. He snatched a knife and slashed at the black-clad men.

Because of Li Ke's rescue, Li Er was temporarily out of danger.

When Li Er looked at Li Ke again, he felt somewhat trance-like.

He looked too much like he did when he was young!

A long knife, as agile as a dragon, killing those black-clad men so they couldn't get close.

His martial arts were even better than when he was young!

The guards outside heard the movement and all surged over. Dozens of black-clad men gradually couldn't hold on, neither able to succeed nor able to escape.

In the end, most of the black-clad men were killed, leaving three alive.

Li Er was very angry, never expecting that he would be assassinated on Great Qin's land.

And that was while he was hiding his identity!

"I must demand an explanation from Great Qin, how can the security environment be so poor that someone is assassinating?"

Li Er believed that these black-clad men couldn't be coming for him.

Even the Great Qin Emperor didn't know his identity.

The assassins might just be coming for a robbery.

The three black-clad men were brought before Li Er.

Li Er was in a very bad mood and intended to give them a severe torture to vent his anger.

....... Begging for flowers... 0

However, before he could move, he saw the three black-clad men fall down with foam at their mouths.

Poisoned themselves to death!

This scene left Li Er stunned.

He wasn't someone who hadn't seen people poisoning themselves to death, but those were elite dead soldiers who would have such behavior.

If they were just ordinary robbers, it was impossible!

This broke his previous judgment.

A bit caught off guard.

Fang Xuanling looked at the assassin corpses all over the ground, feeling cold in his heart.

"Old Li, it seems these people were instructed by someone to specifically assassinate you."

Li Er also just saw this point.

It was just that he was still unwilling to believe it.

"Xuanling, you say, if they were specifically coming to assassinate me, then wouldn't they have to know my true identity first? How is this possible?"

Indeed, Li Er's identity was very hidden; within Great Qin's territory, only Li Ke knew.

There weren't many people in the Great Tang territory who knew, all of them were important ministers of the imperial court.

Among these people, Li Er really didn't know who he should suspect?

Who was dying to see him dead?

His gaze involuntarily slid toward Li Ke.

Since the incident, Li Ke had been guarding Li Er's side. If he hadn't blocked in time just now, Li Er would probably be dead by now.

It couldn't be Li Ke!

Li Er firmed his judgment; after all, they were father and son.

Li Ke at this moment was holding an exquisite small crossbow used by the assassin to show Li Er.

"Look, the style and material of this small crossbow all look like they were mass-produced by the Great Tang army. It looks like they were sent from the Great Tang."

Li Er was a bit indignant.

He had just said he was going to demand an explanation from Great Qin. As a result, it was proven that these people came from the Great Tang.

Wasn't this slapping his own face?

"This crossbow is not enough as evidence, the style can be imitated, and the material can also be bought."

Li Ke was no longer the Prince of Wu who was submissive to Li Er before.

He looked at Li Er deeply.

"If it were imitated, the dimensions would never be exactly the same. Take your guard's crossbow and compare it, and you'll know." The result was naturally that after comparison, it was found that the silk strings, copper buckles, and craftsmanship of the two types of crossbows were exactly the same. Now Li Er couldn't be stubborn anymore.

These assassins were originally here to assassinate him, and being stubborn to the end wouldn't do any good!
