Chapter Seventy-One: Assassinating Yang Guang

  "...Ah..." Suddenly, Li Jiancheng, who was originally lying on the bed, sat up, opened his eyes, and shone brightly in the dark night like a pearl.

  "It's good that I knew about Yang Guang's affairs, otherwise if something happened to Ruo Er, I would regret it for the rest of my life." After sitting up, he muttered to himself for a while, then got ready and opened the window to follow her in the direction she had left.

  ……

  But on the other side, Fu Junzhuo left the inn and headed towards the location of Yang Guang's fleet. It turned out that when she arrived in town at dusk, she inadvertently heard that Yang Guang was just ahead, and in an instant, an unstoppable idea arose in her heart. In the end, this idea overcame her rationality, but she feared failure, so during her stay at the inn, she made every effort to prepare, even if she failed and died, she would not regret it. She only felt a little sorry for Jian Cheng brother! Hoping that Jian Cheng brother could forgive her actions, Fu Junzhuo thought silently in her heart.

  After a while, I finally saw the fleet in front. The largest ship in the middle was incredibly luxurious, and it was still brightly lit with lanterns in the dark night, and there were faint sounds of silk and bamboo coming from the boat.

  "As expected, you're a tyrannical ruler, and even on the move, you're still so dissolute!" Fu Junru cursed in a low voice, then covered herself with black cloth and drifted towards the ship in the middle.

  In the darkness of night, the soldiers couldn't see very clearly, so Fu Junzhuo wasn't discovered until he flew onto the middle ship. "You're so blind, and the guards you brought are also a bunch of useless people, it's no wonder your time to die has arrived today." Fu Junzhuo said, then slowly walked towards the area where the sound of silk and bamboo was coming from. Just as he was about to arrive at the place where the sound of silk and bamboo was coming from!

  "Who?" A sudden voice came, Fu Junzhu turned around to look, but it was a sleepy guard who happened to be walking over. Fu Junzhu hastily flew forward, but it was too late, the sharp sword had already swept across the guard's neck, and the guard still managed to shout out "Assassin!"

  "Damn it! I was so close to succeeding, never mind. Today, even if I have to force my way in, I'll go in and kill the Emperor, to comfort the countless souls of Goryeo!" Fu Junzhu thought for a moment before rushing towards the direction where the sound of silk and bamboo came from.

  When they arrived at the scene, they saw some dancing women running around in a panic, while some guards inside drew their swords and cautiously looked around. The Emperor Yang Guang was sitting in the center, calm and composed. He shouted: "You dare to trespass on the dragon boat! Guards, capture this person for me. I want to see who is so bold as to assassinate me. Whoever captures the assassin alive will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and the title of Marquis."

  A group of guards heard Yang Guang's words and instantly pounced on him like hungry wolves, even though they knew that the person in front of them was a tiger.

  Fu Junzhuo saw these people like this, and coldly snorted. His hands didn't show any mercy! Heads fell to the ground, how could these guards be Fu Junzhuo's opponents? Seeing that all the guards were about to die, a hint of panic also appeared in Yang Guang's eyes, but with the sound of a voice, he calmed down.

  "Your Majesty, forgive me for my crime. Your humble servant Yuwen Huaji has come to rescue you, though belatedly!" Yuwen Huaji said, walking up to Yang Guang and clasping his fists in salute.

  "No harm done, does Your Excellency know who this person is?" Yang Guang was somewhat dissatisfied with Yuwen Huaji's behavior now and in the past, but many things still had to rely on him, so he forgave his mistakes.

  "I, your humble servant, observe that this person's swordsmanship appears to be that of a disciple of Goguryeo's Fu Chai Lin!" Yuwen Huaji pretended to take a look and said, but in fact he had already arrived nearby when the first guard's voice rang out. He just wanted to see Yang Guang's reaction, so he didn't appear so quickly. Now that he has seen Yang Guang's reaction, he reveals himself!

  "Hum! It's actually Goguryeo rebellion. One day I will surely conquer Goguryeo." Yang Guang said coldly after hearing that.

  "It's pouring heavily today, and our lives are still at risk. Yet, we're still thinking of attacking Goguryeo - it's utterly hopeless!" Wu Zetian sneered to herself.

  "Yang Guang, your time of death has come today. I will avenge the millions of Goryeo people!" Fu Qun said to Yang Guang as the last guard fell.

  "Fu's daughter, we parted last time, didn't expect to meet again today!" Yuwen Huaji said lightly.

  "Who are you?" Fu Jun asked in confusion, as if he had forgotten him.

  "Hmph!" Yu Wenque's anger flared up, and he was actually ignored by someone. "Last time I let you and that guy escape, now let's see how you can escape this time."

  "So it's you! Even if I couldn't win against just you, you think you can stop me from leaving?" Fu Junru said disdainfully.

  "Haha, Fu Niangzi, look who's outside! Now that the two of us are joining forces, you can't escape!" Yuwen Huaji burst out laughing.

  Fu Junzhuo listened to Yu Wenque's words, and with a glance at the door, he found that someone had appeared there, and also discovered the aura of an expert from his body. Now two people were ambushing him, it was hard to escape!

  "Must we truly fail? No, even if it means death, I will kill Yang Guang this foolish ruler. Otherwise, in the future, Goguryeo will surely be threatened by him again." Fu Qianruo saw the situation and knew he had to make an immediate decision, so he resolutely chose to fight to the death to kill Yang Guang.

  He didn't say much and flew straight towards Yang Guang.

  "Good, I'd like to see the technique of your sword!" Yuwen Huaji shouted loudly, drawing his own sword and meeting Fu Qianyu's sharp blade. The two clashed swords, but retreated after one blow, and afterwards they exchanged several rounds, with Fu Qianyu unable to find an opportunity to get close to Yang Guang, while Yuwen Huaji was unable to defeat Fu Qianyu in a short time.

  "Dugu Feng, the master, won't take action, what are you waiting for?" Yuwen Huaji shouted at the person outside the door, who was none other than Dugu Feng's father, Li Jiancheng's future father-in-law, Dugu Peak.

  "The reason why Ben Zhan didn't make a move was because he saw Wu Wen Zhan exerting his divine power, and besides, the other party is still a junior! Now that Wu Wen Zhan has made his request, Ben Zhan has no choice but to take action." Dugu Feng's words seemed to carry some mockery, as if it was shameful to need two people to join forces against a junior.

  "Hum! Now that it's about protecting Your Majesty, where did all these concerns come from? Are they more important than Your Majesty's life?" Yuwen Huaji had been sowing discord, and although Emperor Yang Guang trusted the Yuwen family, he trusted the Dugu family even more. Therefore, most of the inner court guards were members of the Dugu family. Although Yuwen Huaji often attacked the Dugu family, Emperor Yang Guang never took action against him, so in the end Yuwen Huaji could only give up. Now that such a good opportunity had arisen, how could he not take advantage of it?

  "Hum! Master Yuwen, don't try to stir up trouble with something even a three-year-old knows. If I leave this place and the assassin escapes, will Lord Yuwen take responsibility?" Dugu Feng also wasn't easy to get along with, so he countered decisively.

  "All right, you two nobles, stop arguing. I believe both of you are loyal. For now, let's focus on capturing the assassin, that's the priority." Yang Guang intervened as he saw the two men quarreling.

  Dugu Peak saw Yang Guang speak up and then slipped in.

  Originally, Fu Qianzhu was under pressure when facing Yu Wenhua and Du separately. Now that the two have joined forces, how can he be their match? Soon, Fu Qianzhu found himself in a desperate situation as the two joined hands, blocking one attack only to be followed by another. If this continued, Fu Qianzhu would surely exhaust himself and be captured. Just then, Dugu Feng struck down with his palm, and Fu Qianzhu turned around to meet him. Meanwhile, Yu Wenhua took advantage of the opportunity to swing his sword from behind. If this blow had landed, Fu Qianzhu's life would have been ended.

  "Hmph..." Wu Wangong and a voice broke through the air, its momentum shocking. If he were to be hit, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be severely injured. Therefore, Wu Wangong immediately withdrew his hand and retreated, completing his move in one breath! Indeed, there was a masterful aura about him, retreating with such elegance.

  The two who were fighting also discovered the anomaly and stopped in unison. Dugu Peak saw this person but didn't recognize him, while Fu Junyi saw this person and was overjoyed to tears, her heart filled with regret and hatred, angry at her own impulsiveness, but if she had to do it again, perhaps she would still do the same.

  The newcomer was none other than Li Jiancheng, who had disguised himself. As a result, Dugu Feng did not recognize him. What struck Li Jiancheng as strange was that Dugu Feng had also arrived, so had Feng'er come too? It seemed he would have to find an opportunity to take another look.

  "Go!" Li Jiancheng shouted in a disguised voice at Fu Junzhuo, who was stunned. It wasn't until then that Fu Junzhuo reacted and rushed over to him. Li Jiancheng hugged her around the waist, and the two of them flew out of the hall like this.

  "Hmph! This time you deceived me, looking back, I won't let you off the hook that easily." Li Jiancheng coldly snorted at Fu Junru in his arms.

  "Jiancheng brother, it's all my fault! Whatever Jiancheng brother wants, I'll accept!" After going through a life-and-death experience, Fu Juner cherished the time they spent together even more.

  But in Yang Guang's great hall, Yuwen Huaji said to Dugu Feng: "Dugu family master, you protect the emperor, I will go and capture the rebels." After finishing speaking, he went straight away, not caring whether Dugu Feng agreed or not, nor did he care about Yang Guang who was present.

  "Just now that person, why do I have a familiar feeling! It's strange." Dugu Feng muttered to himself, shook his head and didn't think much about it, then went to comfort Yang Guang, who was furious at the time.
