Chapter 160 The Death Warrior Appears
"Who dares to break into the palace at night?" The captain of the guards shouted angrily, with the sword in his hand already unsheathed, pointing at the man in black.
A flash of panic flashed across the black-clad man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He gripped the dagger tightly, ready to fight to the death.
However, facing the well-trained guards, the men in black were clearly no match.
After several rounds, he was forced into a desperate situation.
"Capture him!" The captain of the guards gave an order, and all the guards rushed forward and pinned the man in black to the ground.
However, at this moment, the man in black suddenly bit the poison hidden in his mouth, and his face turned blue and purple in an instant.
The guards were shocked to find that the life of the man in black was slipping away rapidly.
"Quick! Call the imperial physician!" the captain of the guards shouted hurriedly, but it was too late.
The man in black opened his eyes wide, as if saying something, but finally he lowered his head weakly and died.
The captain of the guards squatted down and checked the man in black, but did not find any valuable clues.
He frowned, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. What kind of conspiracy was hidden in this sudden assassination?
"Strengthen the palace's security immediately," Li Chen ordered.
"At the same time, thoroughly investigate this person's identity and background. I want to know who dared to assassinate someone in the palace!"
The captain of the guards took the order and left. Li Chen stood in the night, looking at the place where the man in black fell, and fell into deep thought.
He knew that this incident was just the beginning, and what awaited him next would be even more severe challenges and tests.
But he also firmly believed that no matter what difficulties and dangers he faced, he would face the challenges fearlessly and safeguard the safety and stability of the court.
With the death of the man in black and the quick action of the guards, this sudden assassination incident gradually subsided.
However, deep in the palace, an undercurrent was surging.
Li Chen knew that he had to stay vigilant at all times in order to deal with whatever might happen next.
It was late at night and the palace was silent. Li Chen stood in front of the room, feeling mixed emotions.
I just experienced a thrilling assassination, although the assassin committed suicide by taking poison.
But the shock this incident brought to the palace was far from over.
"Sir, do you want to report this matter to Master Fusu?" A Jinyiwei stepped forward and asked respectfully.
Li Chen pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Prince Fusu has been upset recently. He is busy with state affairs and family affairs. We can't bother him with such trivial matters."
The Jinyiwei looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
They all knew that Prince Fusu was under a lot of pressure recently, and as subordinates, they should share the burden with him instead of adding to it.
"Well," Li Chen continued, "tomorrow morning, I will go and report this matter to Prince Fusu in person."
"Everyone please work hard tonight and continue to be on guard. My room is no longer suitable for living because an assassin just entered it."
"We will move to the Jinyiwei's base inside the palace to rest."
All the Jinyiwei responded in unison and then took quick action.
They have clear division of labor, some are responsible for cleaning up the scene, while others are responsible for preparing for the relocation.
Li Chen, along with several trusted Jinyiwei, passed through the deep corridors of the imperial palace and came to the Jinyiwei's secret base inside the palace.
This is a secluded courtyard with few people coming and going on weekdays. It is exactly the safe place they need most at this moment.
