The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

I know how the people behind the scenes hinted, but the next question I have to think about is who instigated and used the assassin!

Jia Xu judged that the people behind the scenes must be familiar with Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan, otherwise they would not use Xiao Yan's mouth to hint, then who wants to kill Xiao Rui?

This is hard to say, as a prince, he is either a friend or an enemy.

At this moment, Zhongyong Hou Zhang Jinfu came in a hurry. As the boss of the patrol battalion, such a vicious assassination occurred in the bustling Dongcheng District Fangshi. Not only his own precious daughter, but also the son of Chang Shenghou, and even It's two princes, this is definitely a big deal! As for his useless son, forget it, I don't want to mention him.

"His Royal Highness Xian, His Royal Highness Tang, the lax inspection of humble positions gave the assassins an opportunity to take advantage of them and almost made a big mistake. Please punish the two Highnesses. The crime of dereliction of duty must be reported directly to His Majesty, and please punish according to the law!" Zhang Jinfu I bow my hands and I am deeply sorry.

As the commander of the patrol battalion guarding the capital, Zhang Jinfu is indeed to blame for letting so many assassins hide in the city this time. Fortunately, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan are fine.

Xiao Rui helped him up, and said with a smile: "Although the assassin is insidious, luckily the rest of us are safe, so please don't blame yourself. The most urgent thing is to hunt down the assassin, quell the panic, and appease the people in the capital!"

"My seventh brother is right!" Xiao Yan said.

Zhang Jinfu smiled and said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have followed your instructions. What Your Highness said is exactly in line with Your Majesty, I admire you."

It turned out that Zhang Jinfu was in the palace when the incident happened.

He went on to say: "Your Majesty asked the patrol battalion to investigate openly to appease the people, and secretly dispatched all Dongchang and Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate the capital! This time the two His Royal Highnesses were assassinated, His Majesty was furious and broke the teacup on the spot. His Majesty also said, Let the two highnesses calm down and enter the palace immediately."

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay!"

Zhang Jinfu looked at Zhang Ruoxi, saw the purple-blue claw marks on her white neck, and immediately called out distressedly: "Ruoxi, does it hurt? Don't worry, I will definitely catch the murderer and avenge you!"

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said: "It's okay, father, the murderer has already been killed by His Highness."

Zhang Lianchuan leaned over and shouted: "Dad, Dad, I was injured too, this hand hurts."

Zhang Jinfu pushed Zhang Lianchuan's face away, walked towards Tian Boguang, and asked, "Are you okay, I almost couldn't explain to Lao Tian!"

Tian Boguang respectfully said: "Nephew is fine, let uncle worry."

Zhang Jinfu patted him on the shoulder and said, "A man can grow up only through life and death."

"Nephew remembers." Tian Boguang responded, and glanced sideways at Zhang Lianchuan, who squatted in the corner with an aggrieved face, drawing circles on the ground with his fingers.

Poor boy.

Zhang Jinfu said a few more words, then left in a hurry, his affairs had just begun.

Xiao Rui asked Zhang Ruoxi and the three to rest in the palace, and he and Xiao Yan entered the palace.

Entering the palace and arriving in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, an accompanying eunuch had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two Highnesses coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness Xian Wang, His Highness Tang Wang, His Majesty has ordered the two Highnesses to enter directly. The face of the temple is holy."

It seemed that Emperor Xia was very concerned, and the two went straight into the hall.

When they came to the hall, the two bowed their hands together and said: "My ministers Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan pay respects to Father Emperor!"

Emperor Xia hummed and said, "Sit down!"

The two of them received the presents and sat down. As soon as Xiao Rui looked up, he saw Yan Xiaoxiao who was next to the dragon case peeping at him worriedly. He didn't dare to look any further, so he hurriedly dodged it, thinking he was playing peek-a-boo. Woolen cloth.

Sitting next to Xiao Rui, Xiao Yan also noticed Yan Xiaoxiao's gaze, then became excited, and quickly whispered to Xiao Rui: "Brother Seven, she is looking at me! She is looking at me!"

"You still want to drink her?" Xiao Rui couldn't help but vomit.

Xiao Yan:? ?

"What are you two brothers talking about?" Emperor Xia stopped reviewing the memorial, and Yan Xiaoxiao, who was serving at the side, quickly took the brush.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan immediately returned to sit upright, Xiao Rui said: "My son and the king of Tang discussed the origin of the assassin."

Emperor Xia said in a deep voice: "The assassins came from the Great Zhao Kingdom, they belonged to the Cao family of the Zhao Kingdom. Rui'er killed Cao Lu. Cao Lu had a high status in the Cao family, and he was the younger brother of the head of the Cao family. He died in Daxia. The country will naturally retaliate. However, the assassins of the Cao family alone cannot be assassinated, and there must be someone who advises him, right here in the capital! I have asked Dongchang and Jinyiwei to investigate thoroughly, and if you dare to touch my son, you will die!"

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan hurriedly got up: "I thank Your Majesty for your concern!"

Emperor Xia nodded, and continued: "In the next few days, I will send imperial troops to strictly guard your palace, live in the palace with peace of mind and don't move around!"

"Father, can my son help me at Brother Seven's house?" Xiao Yan asked.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "You two are brothers, so it's natural, as long as your seventh brother agrees, you don't need to ask me."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui ignored him and said: "Father, before coming here, the King of Tang told my minister that he has more than one hundred ways to kill my minister, so my minister is very afraid and dare not invite the king of Tang to stay in the residence temporarily."

If this guy lives in the Prince Xian's Mansion, that's fine. Wouldn't he be pestering himself all day long? If he didn't say that he likes Yan Xiaoxiao, he would really have to doubt his orientation.

"I'm going!" Xiao Yan stood up awkwardly, and said quickly: "Father, don't listen to my seventh brother's nonsense, I was just joking, my son can think of ten ways in his head, how can it be possible There are more than a hundred kinds."

Emperor Xia nodded in approval, and said, "That's right, King Tang's IQ really can't think of that much!"

Xiao Yan was speechless, full of resentment.

Emperor Xia stayed with the two of them for dinner, and after eating, Hai Dafu returned from Dongchang.

"Your Majesty, the troops of Cao's caravan have been controlled, and the eight warriors who resisted in the corner were also killed on the spot. It can be determined that these eight are the assassins who shot the arrows. As for the others, they are being interrogated!" Hai Dafu He replied: "This caravan often travels between Daxia and Dazhao, and the customs clearance documents are complete, so after entering the capital, Dongchang failed to discover their conspiracy and caused this incident. Please punish me!"

Emperor Xia nodded, and said: "This time the Cao family was generous, and they did not hesitate to use the entire caravan as a cover-up and at the cost, to successfully hide the eyeliner of Dongchang and Jin Yiwei."

There were more than one hundred people in Cao's caravan, except for those killers, the others probably didn't know about it, and they thought they were here to do business in the Great Xia Kingdom in a serious way.

It's over this time, and no one wants to go back.

Xiao Rui was a little puzzled, and asked: "Father, since the Cao family wants to take revenge, why didn't they send fifth-rank or even sixth-rank masters?"

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "The Cao family dare not, so they can only send the Cao family to assassinate. If he buys or sends other assassins, it is not a personal grudge. I have reason to suspect that the Great Zhao State is acting as a hindrance, so I can fight." The Cao family feared that they would not be able to explain to the royal family of the Zhao country, so he did not dare to send experts. Now only the Cao family is sent, that is the behavior of the Cao family, and I cannot send troops to crusade, after all, I have a reason to send troops."

"Moreover, dispatching a fourth-rank warrior, four third-rank peak warriors, and eight second-rank warriors, this force is not small. If you were not lucky, would you survive this time?"

Xiao Rui nodded, agreeing with Emperor Xia's words very much.

"Father, my son is still too weak, I will practice more in the future! Only when I become stronger can I be truly powerful!" Xiao Rui sighed.

Xiao Yan nodded again and again: "Father, my seventh brother is right!"

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Martial arts is not something that can be achieved overnight, don't put too much pressure on yourself, for you, resourcefulness is far more powerful than force! I will let the Cao family know how serious the consequences of offending the Great Xia royal family are!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Do you have time to do something for me?"

Xiao Rui was about to refuse, but a notification sound came from the system.

"Ding dong... New missions are open!"

Xiao Rui looked up the task first, and saw that the task reads: "Take the task arranged by Emperor Xia, the Advent Value +10, if the task fails and is bitten by a dog, the current Advent Value is 20/100."

Xiao Rui nodded like a good baby, and said: "It's my honor to be able to do things for my father."

"Yo? It's not like you." Emperor Xia was a little surprised.

Xiao Yan nodded in disdain, and said: "Father is right!"

Xiao Rui ignored Xiao Yan who could only speak the truth, but asked: "Father, what is the task? Is it important? Do you need Tang Wang to avoid it?"

Xiao Yan said angrily: "Father, my son and minister also have to do the task!"

Xia Huang said happily: "Very good, Tang Wang is also in my heart, well, this task is entrusted to you two. You go to the death row and ask someone to be released from prison for me!"

"Who is it? You actually asked?" Xiao Rui was a little surprised. Father Huang is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, unless you invite those highly respected Confucians, you will use such honorifics.

Emperor Xia laughed and said: "This man's name is Jian Jiuxiao! About the same age as me, he has been imprisoned in death row for more than 20 years, and he doesn't know if he has figured it out or not."

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan looked at each other, they had been imprisoned for so long, so naturally they had never heard of it.

"Father, what did you ask him to do?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

Emperor Xia said: "Go to the Great Zhao Kingdom to avenge you and destroy the whole Cao family!"

"Wow!" The two were surprised.

The Cao family is a well-known family in Zhao Guoguo, with deep savings and many masters in the house. It is no less than daydreaming to destroy the Cao family with only one person's strength.

"Father, could it be that he has lost his mind?" Xiao Yan secretly asked Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui glared at Xiao Yan, probably the only guy who dared to eliminate Father, he said in a low voice: "Shut up! Can you say that about our Father? Father is just a whimsical idea."

Xia Huang looked at the two sons whispering, the voice was still so loud, he couldn't help cursing: "Lead the task and get out!"

Only then did Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan leave. When they left, Xiao Yan reluctantly looked at Yan Xiaoxiao, which made Xiao Rui quite helpless. How can we break up this guy's unrequited love? Waiting online, very urgent.

Back at the palace, before Zhang Ruoxi and the others left, it happened that Zhongyonghou was also there, so Xiao Rui asked him: "Master Hou, have you heard of the name Jian Jiuxiao?"

"Him?" Zhongyonghou was startled, and suddenly asked, "Where did His Highness hear about him?"

"Father asked us to invite him out of death row!" Xiao Rui explained: "What is the origin of this person? It sounds very powerful!"

Zhongyonghou sighed, and said: "It's not just powerful! The world divides martial arts into six ranks, and thinks that the sixth rank is the enemy of ten thousand people. Naturally, it is not a victory over ten thousand people, but a respectful name. It means unstoppable by a hundred people, invincible in close combat, But the sixth rank is really the end? This Jian Jiuxiao was once the cousin of the former crown prince, a genius in swordsmanship, superb swordsmanship, recognized as a realm above the sixth rank. It is a pity that the crime is so serious that he is willing to go to death row!"

"Above the sixth grade?" Xiao Rui stared in surprise.
