Chapter 2106: Thank the Assassin

Duan Wanming wanted to catch him alive, but he was obviously disappointed.

The people who can be brought by Hou Zhong to carry out this secret mission are naturally not ordinary people. They know very well that the fate of being caught by Duan Wanming will be a severe torture, and they will not be able to escape the fate of being killed in the end. They have no use value. After that, Duan Wanming obviously would not leave them alive.

Therefore, when these people saw that they were outmatched, none of them chose to surrender, nor did they want to be captured by the guards in the city lord's palace. Instead, they chose to commit suicide.

They have long been accustomed to death. They have killed many people and are not afraid of their own death.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Duan Wanming's face was very ugly. Not only were these people not weak in skill, but they were also brave and fearless of death. Such people were definitely not ordinary people. He discovered it in advance this time. If it happens next time If these people come again, can he and the people in the mansion be saved?

Thinking of this, Duan Wanming became more determined to find the bandit leader who had just escaped. At the same time, the defense force of the city lord's palace needed to be further strengthened.

"Let's go see the eldest prince."

After saying that, Duan Wanming took his third son and some guards and headed towards the eldest prince's residence.

The eldest prince is a prince after all. Although he was in trouble at this time, Duan Wanming did not treat him badly. Not only did he arrange a very spacious and luxurious residence for him, but he also arranged for a lot of servants to accompany him to serve him. Although he could not interact with the palace. Than, but not bad.

The mess outside the eldest prince's residence was littered with the corpses of men in black and city guards. Of course, there were also wailing soldiers and bloodstains on the ground. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Duan Wanming didn't even look at this and led the people straight into the house.

Inside the house, the eldest prince Zhao Xuan was being bandaged. Although Hou Zhong's men failed to kill him, they also injured him. Injury was a very rare thing for the pampered eldest prince. He had always been pampered and pampered, so what happened to him? Have you committed this crime? Although the injury was not serious, his face was still pale and his complexion was very poor.

There was a group of people surrounding the eldest prince, and Duan Zeyun was among them.

"father."

Seeing Duan Wanming's arrival, Duan Zeyun walked over quickly.

Duan Zeyun's words also alarmed Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan, who was being bandaged, was very excited when he saw Duan Wanming coming.

"Father-in-law, you're here, who were those people just now? They almost killed me." Zhao Xuan said excitedly.

"Their identities have not been investigated yet." Duan Wanming walked to Zhao Xuan and asked, "Your Highness, how are your injuries?"

"Thankfully, I have your people to protect me, otherwise, I would have died here today." Zhao Xuan said, "Don't let me know who they are, otherwise, I will cut them into pieces!"

Although he was in trouble now, the pride in Zhao Xuan's heart remained undiminished. He did not think that he would be so down in the future. In his heart, he would return to the imperial capital sooner or later, and the throne would definitely be his.

"Your Highness, I hope everything is fine." Duan Wanming said, "Although I have not found out the specific identity of the assassins, I can probably guess where they came from."

"where?"

"Of course it's those two places!"

"You mean, the second and third children?" Zhao Xuan asked.

Duan Wanming didn't speak, but nodded.

Zhao Xuan's face was full of anger and he said: "I guess it's them too! I knew they would be bad for me, so I left the imperial capital. Unexpectedly, I'm here, and they still won't let me go!"

Zhao Xuan had no doubts about Duan Wanming's guess. In fact, in his mind, he had already determined that the assassin was either sent by Zhao Ke or Zhao Lun. Apart from the two of them, there would be no one else. .

This made Zhao Xuan very angry. In his opinion, Zhao Ke and Zhao Lun should fight each other now. He had left the imperial capital and they should no longer pay attention to him. However, he did not expect that those two people were far away. In the imperial capital, he has not been forgotten, and someone will be sent to assassinate him.

Apparently, Zhao Xuan had forgotten that he was the one who sent people to assassinate Zhao Lun first. At this time, he was assassinated, and he would only resent Zhao Ke and Zhao Lun for ignoring their brotherly love.

"Obviously, those two highnesses have no intention of letting you go, your highness." Duan Wanming said: "In order to protect the safety of your highness, from today on, I will send more people to follow you, your highness, no matter where you go. , there will be people following, so even if those two highnesses are unwilling, they will not be able to do anything. "

When Zhao Xuan heard Duan Wanming's words, he nodded quickly and said, "My father-in-law still cares about me. You must send more people to protect me. From what I know about those two people, they will never give up."

Zhao Xuan thought about the assassination he had just suffered. It was because Duan Wanming had arranged for the people around him in advance to block the men in black. Then, the guards from the city lord's palace came and killed all the men in black. His life.

At this moment, Zhao Xuan, who was still in shock, could not think so much. He only wanted to save his own life. For this reason, he must have at least a few guards around him. Only with enough guards could he feel safe enough.

Duan Wanming nodded and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will do my best to keep you safe. Those people who want to kill Your Highness will have to step over my body."

Duan Wanming's statement touched Zhao Xuan. Now he had no one to rely on, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was deserted by his friends and relatives. At this time, Duan Wanming was still able to help and take care of him, which really made Zhao Xuan very grateful.

Zhao Xuan held Duan Wanming's hand tightly and promised: "Father-in-law, don't worry, one day, I will ascend the throne and become emperor, and I will never forget your kindness."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Duan Wanming thanked.

In fact, how could Duan Wanming, who was like an old fox, believe the big cake Zhao Xuan painted for him? The reason why he made such arrangements and worked so hard was just to better control Zhao Xuan.

This assassination was not all bad for Duan Wanming. Zhao Xuan was obviously scared. In this way, he could legitimately place his own people around Zhao Xuan. As for Zhao Xuan's people, they could all be transferred one by one. In this way, Zhao Xuan would cut off the opportunity to contact the outside world directly. Zhao Xuan wanted to contact anyone, or even make any decision, but it had to go through his hands.

In this way, Zhao Xuan was firmly controlled by him. Zhao Xuan not only did not doubt him, but also appreciated him. This result made Duan Wanming very satisfied.

"In this case, I should thank those assassins." Duan Wanming thought to himself.
