The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 39: The assassination of the fourth prince Yinzhen

The man in black said nothing, leaped forward nimbly, and chopped down with a flick of his arm.

There was a flash of knife light, and Yinzhen's soul was scared to death, so he quickly raised his sword to meet the attack.

With a clang

The harsh sound of metal clashing rang out.
The man in black kept swinging his knife, knocking Yinzhen's sword away, then he turned his hand slightly and swung down again. Yinzhen rolled to the ground to avoid the attack, but he hadn't gotten up yet.

The sword force was like rain and continuous.
The man in black swung his knife again, hitting Yinzhen's leg squarely.

"ah!."

Yinzhen's screams echoed through the night sky, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

At this time, the guards outside the door came outside with weapons and torches, making a lot of noise. The man in black saw that he had alarmed everyone, so he did not move forward, but turned around and rushed out of the house.

The guards saw a man in black rushing out of the fourth master's room, and they rushed forward to stop him, using sticks, swords and knives, vowing to capture him. Unfortunately, the man in black was very skilled and agile. He moved left and right and came to the wall of the courtyard. As he was about to leave, a group of strong and well-trained people appeared in the distance.

"Cum for me!"

A cold voice came
Then countless arrows whizzed towards the man in black. The man in black hurriedly dodged them, then reached out his hand, exerted force with his feet, stretched out his hand to touch the top of the wall, and swiftly climbed over the wall. In a few flashes, he had disappeared into the dark courtyard.

"Chase him and make sure to capture the assassin!" The guards were in chaos and chased everywhere.

"Someone come quickly, the Fourth Master is injured. Gao Wuyong, please call a doctor quickly!" The Fourth Lady's nervous voice rang out in the yard.

The housekeeper Gao Wuyong didn't care about being shy at this time, and hurriedly led his people into the house. At this time, the lights were on in the house. Gao Wuyong saw the Fourth Master lying on the ground, his body covered in blood. He was so scared that he rushed over to check in panic: "Fourth Master, Fourth Master, how are you, please don't scare me."

"ah!."

"I was stabbed in the leg and a lot of blood is flowing. It hurts so much!" Liangwai, Yinzhen took a breath, struggled, and said tremblingly.

After a while, the doctor from the mansion arrived and was busy checking the injuries, cleaning the blood, bandaging the wounds, and then everyone carefully helped Yinzhen lie down on the bed.

The doctor saw that everyone was looking at him closely and said, "Fourth Master, I have carefully checked and found that there are no other injuries except for the leg. Fortunately, the wound was on the outside of the thigh and did not injure the tendons and blood vessels. Although it looks serious, it is actually not serious. There is no discoloration or swelling near the wound, which shows that there is no poison on the knife. You just need to stay in bed and rest. You can't walk for half a month. You will be fine after recuperating for a while!"

Hearing this, Fu Jin, the housekeeper and others breathed a sigh of relief. Yinzhen asked angrily, "Gao Wuyong, has the assassin been caught?" "Fourth Master, please forgive me. The assassin is highly skilled in martial arts and agile. It was dark at night, and when our people arrived, the man had already escaped from the mansion. I was afraid that the assassin was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so I did not use all my strength. Most of them stayed to protect Fourth Master, and the others went to search everywhere." Gao Wuyong and the head of the guards knelt down in a group and said in fear. The assassin injured Fourth Master and then left calmly. So many guards in the mansion couldn't raise their heads.

Fu Jin angrily scolded: "Useless, all useless. There are so many people guarding the mansion, but you didn't even know someone had sneaked into the inner courtyard. And someone even hurt the Fourth Master. So many people can't stop an assassin. What's the point of the Fourth Master keeping you?"

"Forget it. I'll take my name card to Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow and ask them to arrest the assassin." Yinzhen sighed and said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Yes," Gao Wuyong responded quickly.

The man in black who escaped from the Fourth Prince's Mansion easily turned around several streets and came to the Tenth Prince's Mansion. He looked around to see that there was no one around, and quietly climbed over the courtyard wall to enter.

The man in black seemed to be very familiar with the palace. He turned east and west and came to the main courtyard. He carefully sneaked into the main room and came to the bedroom. On the bed was a beautiful woman in her twenties, with a curvy figure. Even in her sleep, she showed a charming demeanor. It was the owner of the bedroom, Borjigit.

The man in black reached out and checked, and found Borjigit sleeping soundly. The man in black breathed a sigh of relief, took off his clothes and hood, and it turned out to be the Tenth Prince Yin.

Li Yan spread his hands and three long arrows appeared out of thin air. They were the ones that he had just pulled out from the wall in the Fourth Master's mansion. They were two feet and eight inches long, with the best poplar wood shafts covered with a layer of red lacquer. The arrowheads were sharp and slender, and the feathers were black eagle feathers.

I heard that the weapons of each prefecture have different marks to distinguish them, but Li Yan looked at them for a long time and didn't see anything special. Li Yan thought about it and thought that maybe he was too short-sighted, but it didn't matter, someone would definitely be able to see it. Thinking of this, Li Yan's eyes flashed with a meaningful look and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Li Yan put the arrow feathers and clothes into the space, checked his body carefully to make sure there were no flaws, then lay down on the bed, hugged Hui Ning gently, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

The next day, the sun rose as usual. Borjigit got up quietly, looked at the Tenth Master who was still sleeping, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she quietly left the room.

During the period when Li Yan was confined to reflect on his mistakes, he simply let himself go and slept until he woke up naturally every day. Among the hundreds of people in the Tenth Master's Mansion, Li Yan was probably the last one to get up. For this reason, when the sun was at its zenith, the kitchen would light a fire to prepare breakfast for Li Yan, and it had to be more abundant. Li Yan himself was not willing to endure hardships because of the bad environment, not to mention that as a prince of the Qing Dynasty, he was pampered and had this condition, so he was even more unwilling to wrong himself.

Why should we save money for the Qing Dynasty? We should eat its food.
There were seven plates and eight bowls on the table. While Li Yan was enjoying the sumptuous meal, which was either breakfast or lunch, he was listening to Borjigit chattering about the head of some prince's palace, the gossips of some prince's palace, and some trivial matters of jealousy in the adults' palaces that he had heard from others.

Li Yan's mind was racing, thinking that the last group of people who came out last night were not comparable to the mob before them. They were obviously smarter and stronger, with agile movements, quick actions, and decisive and ruthless actions.

These people should be the ones who do the dirty work for the Fourth Brother. In the play, the Fourth Brother returned to the mansion on the night he succeeded to the throne just to deal with these people.

At that time, Kangxi had passed away, the Thirteenth Prince had also arrived with his troops, and the Fourth Prince's position was already secure. Why did he rush back to the palace to deal with these people, and why did he have to do it himself? It can only mean that the things that need to be hidden are too terrible and cannot be seen in the light. If they are spread and known by others, it may affect the Fourth Prince's throne, so he went back to the palace to deal with it personally.
