Chapter 554

Honglu Temple.

The cold moonlight fell, covering the entire Changancheng.

Yan Wushuang lay on the dry bed, his expression flickering.

He had to admit that he, who had always had extremely regular sleep, was unusually suffering from insomnia tonight.

In his mind, everything that happened at Yixiang Pavilion during the day was swirling, and Old Man Wang's impassioned voice was echoing constantly.

Along with the subsequent Xuanwu Gate Incident and the arrow that shot Li Jiancheng to death, everything emerged.

"Li Shimin spent half his life in the saddle for the Tang Dynasty, conquering the world. It is no exaggeration to say that this world was conquered by him single-handedly. But just because Li Jiancheng was the legitimate eldest son of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had no choice!"

"He wanted to bow his head, he wanted to admit defeat, but he still had no way to survive!"

"He was squeezed out in Changancheng, and his confidants were all demoted. The Crown Prince wanted to kill him, and the ignorant Li Yuanji wanted to kill him. If he did not die, Li Jiancheng could not sleep or eat in peace!"

Yan Wushuang's expression was resolute.

He turned on his side and looked at the dark night outside the window.

He said in a voice that only he could hear, "Big brother, can you tolerate me?"

"Should I wait for death, or fight hard?"

After a moment of silence, a killing intent filled Yan Wushuang's eyes.

He said softly.

"You can sit on this throne, so why can't I?"

"What if this Great Yan empire, in my hands, could create an unprecedented prosperous age like Li Shimin?"

Yan Wushuang knew that this story was unusual. He should be vigilant about whether someone was deliberately targeting him, or even feel that this might have come from Gao Yang's hand to cause chaos in the Yan Kingdom.

But in his heart, some thoughts that shouldn't have existed, and had never existed before, were growing uncontrollably!

These thoughts were rebellious!

But they brought him a glimmer of life!

As Gao Yang said, so what if he knows?

Does he have a choice?

Unless he obediently waits for death!

At the same time.

The room where Chu Ningyu was staying.

She stood in the great hall with her hands behind her back, her face extremely fair, and the coldness in her eyes was like a ten-thousand-year-old snow mountain that would never melt.

"Are the people ready?"

Chu Ningyu asked.

Behind her, Chu Qiong nodded and said.

"More than a dozen good hands, all of them are above standard in assassination!"

"Their identities are clean, and they all have pills in their mouths. Even if the assassination fails, it will never implicate the Eldest Princess. Once the time comes, they can take Cui Xinghe's dog life!"

Chu Ningyu nodded and said, "Good!"

"If this Cui Xinghe is not eliminated, Great Chu will not be able to sleep or eat in peace!"

"He must die!"

Chu Qiong nodded and took a deep breath.

Outside the window, the moonlight became thicker, even blocking the moon in the sky. Time passed bit by bit, and Chu Ningyu's face became colder and colder!

East end of Changancheng.

Inside a small courtyard.

More than a dozen assassins in black night-traveling clothes, their faces full of sternness, were standing straight in the courtyard.

Although they didn't say a word, there was an extremely strong killing intent around them; they were clearly top-notch experts!

"Raising an army for a thousand days to use it for a moment!"

"That Great Qian living Yama not only created the poisonous scheme of cutting off the water, but also burned our army's rattan-armored soldiers, and used feces and lime to hurt our comrades, causing our army to collapse and suffer heavy casualties!"

"If this living Yama is allowed to live, Great Chu will suffer so much! His poisonous scheme of cutting off the water, if it really succeeds, will make millions, or even tens of millions, of Great Chu people suffer from the lack of water!"

"If such a person is not killed, how can Great Chu have any good days in the future?"

The leading Chu assassin said with a resounding voice!

For a time, the other dozen people all quietly clenched their fists, their eyes full of monstrous anger!

They also came from the army and were death squads!

Under the walls of Changancheng, the souls wailing in the flames included their comrades, and even their relatives and brothers. This hatred and grudge is simply irreconcilable!

"The hour of the Rat has arrived. Follow me to execute the Great Qian number one poisonous strategist, Cui Xinghe!"

"Take his dog life!"

The leading assassin suddenly drew his sword, his voice low.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

For a time, shadows flickered.

They used the moonlight to move through Changancheng, heading straight for the Cui Prefecture.

And soon they approached the Cui family residence, climbed over the Cui family wall, and drew the big swords from their waists that were emitting endless cold light.
