Chapter 1384 The Maid's Great Turn 24

With the help of 999, the universal map navigation, Su Yan easily found the Palace of Mental Cultivation where the emperor was currently living.

The palace guards who were on night watch were dozing off, so Su Yan sneaked into the emperor's bedroom without disturbing anyone.

Su Yan strolled around the emperor's bedroom as if he was visiting a vegetable market.

Fortunately, he did not go to the favorite concubine tonight, otherwise she would have made a wasted trip.

Su Yan sat down beside the emperor's bed, looked at his face which was three-quarters similar to Prince Chen, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Although he was good-looking, he was too cruel. As soon as he came to power, he wanted to kill all the meritorious officials, and even spared no effort for his only brother. He was truly insane.

Just as Su Yan was shaking his head in disdain, the emperor suddenly felt someone around and woke up instantly. When he saw the masked man beside the bed, he was so scared that he shouted there was an assassin.

The emperor was really frightened. He crawled to the foot of the bed and frantically pulled out a sword hanging on the wall.

Su Yan cursed: "You dog emperor, today is the day you die."

999 couldn't help but complain: "Why does it have to be such an exaggerated performance?"

Su Yan: "That's how it's usually played out on TV."

The emperor looked at Su Yan in fear, moving his body while being on guard, and asked, "Who are you and why do you want to kill me?"

Su Yan: "I won't tell you that I'm from Jiang country."

emperor:"......"

999: "It's too much of a performance."

Su Yan: "Don't bother me."

Su Yan pretended to assassinate the emperor, but he failed to hit him.

The emperor was forced to roll around in panic, but he managed to escape narrowly each time.

Fortunately, no one saw it now, otherwise he would be so embarrassed.

During this process, Su Yan accidentally revealed the full moon tattoo on his wrist, making sure that the emperor had seen it, and heard the footsteps of the guards approaching.

Su Yan said with hatred: "You are lucky today. I will come to kill you another day."

Having said that, Su Yan ran away in a panic.

As soon as the guard pushed the door open, Su Yan jumped out of the window and escaped.

When the guards ran to the emperor's bedroom, they saw him sitting on the ground with lingering fear.

The eunuch in chief trembled as he helped the emperor up. The emperor finally recovered and said angrily, "I will dig three feet deep to find this damn assassin."

"Yes."

Although the assassin thought he was smart just now and said that she was from Jiang country, how could he possibly deceive his eyes.

The tattoo on that person's hand is clearly the symbol of the Sun and Moon Sect, the protector of the Cang Kingdom. Do you really think he is so easy to fool?

The Cang Kingdom wants to put the blame on the Jiang Kingdom. It seems that the alliance between these two countries is not as solid as imagined.

The emperor thought he was smart and thought that no matter what country the assassin was from, he had to find him out.

She was able to appear in his bedroom without anyone noticing, and she would definitely be able to do it a second and third time in the future.

He didn't want his life to be threatened in any way, and the assassin had to die.

The emperor's attention was completely diverted by the assassin, and he had no time to ask about Su Chengye's affairs.

As for Prince Chen, as long as he is not mentally ill, he will definitely not take action against Prince Chen now.

After all, if Prince Chen is killed, who will fight for him?

The entire city was under martial law in the middle of the night. No one could leave the city, and all city gates were closed to entry only.

Su Yan slept soundly at home, not caring about the disturbance outside.

The soldiers searched the whole city for several days but found nothing. They checked the wrists of all the women and found no full-moon tattoos at all.

Su Yan had naturally been examined as well, but he didn't have any tattoos, not even a single mole.

The emperor was frightened all day long and had to have someone watch over him when he slept. He was so afraid of the feeling of waking up and suddenly seeing a man in black sitting beside his bed.

That person appeared silently like a ghost. If he hadn't woken up in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The emperor was filled with fear when he thought that he almost died. He would not be able to sleep or eat well unless the assassin was eliminated.

Su Yan saw through 999 that the emperor was frightened by her and had a nervous breakdown, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's just to spare his life temporarily.

The emperor has not been in a very good mood recently. He was almost assassinated, and now the assassin seems to have evaporated from the face of the earth, with no trace at all.

The person sent to assassinate Su Chengye also disappeared, but the key point is that Su Chengye is still alive.

The two armies were facing each other on the front line, and Prince Chen had already written three letters back to urge him to send reinforcements and food supplies.

If we delay any further, I’m afraid the court officials will not agree.

Nothing really goes as planned.

However, considering that the Cang Kingdom dared to send people to assassinate him, he must not let the other party have an easy time.

Although somewhat reluctant, he still had to order the armies from the east and west to support the front line.

But he did not specify how many days it would take to reach the front line. I believe the Lord will understand what he means.

Before the arrival of reinforcements, Prince Chen focused on defending the city and never took the initiative to engage in battle.

999 broadcast the battle situation on the front line to Su Yan every day, and Su Yan watched while eating melon seeds.

In fact, there is nothing to see, and the other party does not dare to start a war easily.

Prince Chen seemed to have calculated that reinforcements would not arrive soon, so he arranged his own men to rush to the front line in three groups.

Whenever the enemy wanted to start a war, spies would discover that a large army was on the way.

The other side thought that reinforcements had arrived and remained inactive.

As a result, when they found out that there were only a few thousand people and were planning to look for another opportunity to attack, another spy discovered that reinforcements had arrived.

The people of Jiang and Cang were worried that this time it was real, so they kept their troops on hold, planning to talk things out before starting a war.

Another three to five days passed by, and when the spies brought news, they learned that the other side had only a force of a few thousand people. They regretted not starting the war earlier.

They were preparing to find time to launch another attack, but then another spy brought news that the reinforcements from Jin had really arrived this time.

The third time the number of people was slightly larger, about ten thousand people.

The Jiang and Cang kingdoms did not dare to take the risk, and no one wanted to be the first to take action.

Both sides hoped that the other side would send troops first, and they pushed each other. Because we heard that the other side's reinforcements had arrived, this delayed the process for another two or three days.

All in all, it was delayed for more than ten days.

As it turned out, there was no reinforcement at all, it was just the Prince's deliberate attempt to confuse the enemy.

Su Yan saw that the two countries had attempted to launch attacks several times, but each time they learned at the critical moment that the other side's reinforcements had arrived, they gave up the idea of ​​starting a war.

Su Yan smiled and said, "What kind of spy is this? Could he be a spy from Prince Chen's side?"

999: "That's true. This spy is a talent. He's a double agent."

Su Yan: "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

999: "The eastern and western armies have already set out, but their marching speed is slow. I think it will take at least five days for them to arrive."

Su Yan said sarcastically: "This emperor is really not worried about Cang and Jiang breaking through the city gates, but has confidence in Prince Chen."

999: "Even though I know what Prince Chen is like, I still can't help but be suspicious of him and be on guard against him."

Su Yan: "After all, wise rulers are rare, and stories of rulers and ministers getting along well with each other are rare."
