Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1544 Unavoidable
The assassination of the princess was a big deal in itself, not to mention that Princess Mingzhu was the favorite princess of the Emperor of Qizhou, and she was assassinated near the capital, Kangping City.

After receiving the news, they were of course furious. The entire Kangping City and the surrounding villages and towns were placed under martial law, traffic was blocked, goods and suspicious persons were inspected, and even house-to-house searches were conducted, as if they were determined to drag out the assassin's entire family and hang them on the flagpole.

But to be honest, this kind of operation is actually more of a matter of doing one's best, and it is hard to say how much effect it can have.

After all, the assassins from Anxiangtang were obviously well prepared, and they probably had more than one retreat route prepared. By the time the officials started to act, the people from Anxiangtang had already run away.

However, there are many suspicious points in the assassination of the princess. Li Chengxi believes that this will be the starting point for the investigation.

For example, who can accurately calculate the princess's itinerary?

Although Princess Mingzhu's motorcade is huge and undisguised, Princess Mingzhu is not someone who will follow the itinerary honestly.

It was like this when she went to attend the Young Heroes Conference in the past. It was normal to change the itinerary and take a few walks. In the past, Li Chengxi just thought that this princess had ADHD.

But if you think about it carefully, maybe this is a defensive measure that can prevent someone with ulterior motives from using the journey to assassinate you.

——Of course, it must be true that you want to go and play.

The person who could get the itinerary and arrange the assassination in the first place must be among the princess's entourage, and not a palace maid who does odd jobs, but most likely among the palace guards and the officials responsible for taking care of the princess.

The only mistake that Anxiangtang made was that they did not expect to meet Yang Yiyi halfway. The princess chatted with Yang Yiyi for a long time at the intersection, which made the killer who was originally lying in ambush in the woods think that he might be exposed, so he took action in advance.

If the original itinerary had been followed, when the Anxiangtang assassins took action, the princess's carriage happened to be on a road with woods on both sides. If she was attacked at this time, it would not be as easy to defend herself than on flat ground.

Another thing is, regardless of how the killers got the bows and crossbows, isn’t it too exaggerated to bring out the crossbows?

This thing is usually only available in the military. Even the control of bows and crossbows is extremely strict, let alone crossbow cannons.

All craftsmen who can make this thing are registered, so you can't just find anyone to make it.

Either there was a problem with the craftsmen, or there was a problem with someone in the army.

These two suspicious points are among the most eye-catching among many. Li Chengxi can see them, so there is no reason why the people in charge of the investigation cannot see them. If they dig deeper along the clues, they may get some results.

As for how the investigation is conducted, it has nothing to do with Li Chengxi or Yang Yiyi, and no one will report to Yang Yiyi.

Whether you call the martial law a formality or a simple way to vent anger, it has already been imposed and we definitely cannot leave.

He Ling and her friends were planning to take a boat to Nanshan City, but they had to give up the plan for the time being and wait until the storm was over.

As for Yang Yiyi, a eunuch came from the palace the next day and announced the imperial decree to reward Yang Yiyi.

Before this, the Emperor of Qizhou had already bestowed brocade clothes and jade belts on Yang Yiyi, which was basically the highest honor that an ordinary civilian could obtain. This time he also gave her some gold and silver rewards. Unless Yang Yiyi wanted to enter the officialdom, this was the highest she could get, just a token of her appreciation.

By the way, the eunuch also conveyed Princess Mingzhu's intention, that when she has time in the future, she would let Yang Yiyi have a good talk with her about going to the Western Regions.

——She is still thinking about this.

It was impossible for Princess Mingzhu to come out now, even if she just strolled around Kangping City like before. She was scratching her head and thinking about listening to stories, but without the emperor's permission, Princess Mingzhu could not summon Yang Yiyi, a commoner, into the palace.

Now even Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping are not allowed to enter the palace. Princess Mingzhu may have to wait for a while until it is confirmed to be safe.

The martial law in Kangping City lasted for seven or eight days. I don’t know if anyone from Anxiangtang was captured, but a large number of soldiers were still deployed at important traffic arteries to check passers-by. The situation was relaxed, but not completely.

It was at this time that He Ling suggested taking a boat to Nanshan City.

For these people from the Qingshan Sect, living in the Situ Mansion was too stressful. As soon as they heard that the pier had reopened, they wanted to leave immediately.

Yang Yiyi wanted to keep He Ling and the others for a few more days, but since they were determined to leave, she had no choice but to send them on board. Wu Shaoyi also wrote a letter for He Ling to take with her. When they arrived in Nanshan City, she could take the letter to Wujiazhuang. Her father would help He Ling and the others find a place to stay in Nanshan City.

The trip back to the sect has completely ended here. According to the plan, Yang Yiyi should travel around next, without any purpose, mainly to highlight the purpose of being a hero.

Yang Yiyi seemed to want to stay with Li Yingluo for a few more days. Li Chengxi said that it was no problem, as it was much better than Yang Yiyi getting involved in any trouble.

But as the saying goes, heaven does not always fulfill man's wishes. Even if Li Chengxi was a god, he could not defy fate.

After sending He Ling and the others on board, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi were walking back when they passed by the city gate. They saw soldiers posting new notices, which were soon surrounded by a large group of onlookers.

Li Chengxi actually had a bad feeling at this time, but Yang Yiyi was a guy who liked to join in the fun, and when he saw a lot of people gathered at the city gate, he immediately squeezed over with Wu Shaoyi to take a look.

The notices posted at the city gates are usually about wanted criminals or some new policies, to make them known to the public.

The notice posted this time was different from the usual ones. It contained seven or eight hundred words, and there was a scholar reading it to the illiterate people.

To sum it up, the meaning is simple.

Now the North is coming with great force, and the ten Central Plains countries are in a desperate situation. It is a critical moment for the country, so I would like to announce to all heroes in the world that those who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic are invited to go to the North to resist the invasion.

This may sound like a recruitment ad, but there is an important point.

It is for the underworld to see.

The Central Plains martial arts world cannot confront the country, but these guys are so powerful that it is not easy for ordinary soldiers to catch them.

Now among the ten countries in the Central Plains, only the two countries bordering the north are in a state of war, and the other eight countries are acting as wet nurses and providing blood transfusions.

Under such circumstances, the Central Plains martial arts community, as a major civil force, could not help but express its stance.

You all call yourselves heroes, but now that the country is facing a life-and-death crisis, won’t you help?

This is what the notice said. Li Chengxi felt a pang in his heart after reading it.

broken!

Li Chengxi had been avoiding things related to the North because he was afraid that Yang Yiyi would become curious again. But now, all his efforts were in vain.

"Brother Li, I think..."

"No, you don't want to"

"But……"

"It's freezing cold in the north, and there's a war going on. What are you going to do there?"

"Once this notice is issued, many fellow martial artists will surely gather together to defend the country. I cannot stay out of it."

Li Chengxi couldn't help but hold his forehead.

He knew this would happen!
Yang Yiyi usually listens to Li Chengxi in everything, and her body has formed a conditioned reflex to Li Chengxi's instructions.

But when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, Yang Yiyi is very persistent and never compromises.

It’s over. I must take a trip to the north.
