Chapter 134 Missing Eight People
Liu Xie, who had been hiding aside, broke free from the maid's guard, rushed to the beautiful woman Wang, and cried loudly.
Emperor Ling of Han was alarmed by Liu Xie's crying and woke up slowly. When he saw Liu Xie crying, he stretched out his hand and greeted him: "The Emperor..."
Liu Xie heard the call of Emperor Ling, turned to look at Emperor Ling and cried: "Father, what's wrong with my mother..."
The Spirit Emperor came to his senses, looked at the dead beauty Wang and the assassin in front of him, and then looked at Han Tao standing in front of him to guard him. Realizing that he was not an assassin, he asked weakly: "Who are you!"
When Han Tao heard Emperor Ling’s question, he quickly put down his weapon and turned around and knelt down to salute: “My husband, Han Tao, the magistrate of Yingyin County, is named Zizhen. The rescue is late. Please forgive me for your crime!”
Emperor Ling was a little calm when he heard Han Tao's identity. When he saw He Jin who was still struggling to fight with the assassin, as well as Cao Cao and the assassin who were still fighting under the chariot, he said to Han Tao with grief and anger: "Thank you for your hard work, kill the assassin quickly and avenge my beloved concubine!"
Han Tao immediately responded: "Abide by the order!"
Han Tao quickly turned around and announced loudly: "Your Majesty has an order to kill the assassin!"
He Jin, Cao Cao and the Yulin Army were even more courageous when they heard Han Tao's shouts. In a blink of an eye, two more assassins were killed on the spot, and Xue Fan was also stabbed by Cao Cao with a sword.
Han Tao waved his sword and went forward to assist He Jin. The two joined forces to kill the assassin who rushed into the chariot.
Emperor Ling opened his arms and protected Liu Xie in his arms, calming down a little.
Hugging Liu Bian, hiding aside, when he saw Emperor Ling of Han protecting Liu Xie so much, his jealousy quickly rose from the bottom of his heart: The little bitch is dead, you are still protecting her bastard!
Queen He secretly pinched Liu Bian's thighs hard. Liu Bian was confused and cried even after suffering pain.
Emperor Ling of Han heard the crying, but he just looked back at He Hou and Liu Bian without any expression.
When Empress He saw Emperor Ling of Han's reaction, she felt even more angry and annoyed, but she had no choice but to pretend to be wronged and cry while coaxing Liu Bian, hoping to attract the attention of Emperor Ling. However, Emperor Ling just hugged Liu Xie and looked at Meiren Wang with heartache, and ignored Empress He and Liu Bian at all.
Seeing that the carriage was safe, Han Tao quickly jumped out of the car and rushed forward to help Cao Cao deal with Xue Fan and Bao Tong together.
Huang Zhong and Yuan Shao also rushed from afar and joined the killing of the assassins.
With a few people joining, the assassins who had already failed to assassinate became even more panicked. In a blink of an eye, another person was killed, and only Bao Tong and the injured Xue Fan were still trying hard to support it.
But at this time, the two of them could not support the joint attacks of Han Tao, Cao Cao, Huang Zhong and Yuan Shao. Although Huang Zhong was on the ground and did not use a long sword, his combat power was still amazing. He waved the sword in his hand and stabbed the injured Xue Fan to death with one sword.
Han Tao, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao took action together, and Bao Tong was also indifferent to the other side. He was pierced by the long swords of the three of them and vomited blood. He died tragically on the spot. At this point, all the assassins had been killed on the spot.
Seeing that all the assassins had been killed, He Jin hurriedly turned around and knelt down to report to Emperor Ling: "All the assassins have been killed. I am ineffective in protecting you, which has caused your Majesty to be frightened. Please give up your crime!"
Han Tao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Huang Zhong and the Yulin Army all knelt down on one knee.
Zhang Rang, Feng Xi and several other senior officials of the Central Secretariat and the court officials had already passed through the Yulin Army's team, came to the chariot, and knelt down together: "I am late to save the lord, please punish the emperor!"
Emperor Ling heard the scene had been controlled. Although he was still very nervous and scared, he was unwilling to make a fool of himself in front of many soldiers. He was a little excited and responded: "Thank you all my dear friends, I have nothing to do, but I am just my dear concubine..."
Emperor Ling hugged the body of Meiren Wang and couldn't help but shed tears...
Zhang Rang persuaded: "Your Majesty, people cannot be resurrected after death. I would like to ask the priest to mourn tens of millions of times. It is important to take care of the dragon's body."
Emperor Ling nodded helplessly and then announced: "General, re-arrange the car and send me back to the palace first. Today I will protect the ministers, and I will reward you with me on my merits tomorrow!"
He Jin hurriedly responded: "I obey the order!"
Then He Jin immediately arranged a light car to ask Emperor Ling to get on the car. Emperor Ling carried Liu Xie into the car, but he still ignored Empress He and Liu Bian at all.
When He Jin saw that He Hou was still staying in front of the carriage, he stepped forward to remind him: "Your Majesty, will the Empress and the Prince accompany you?"
Emperor Ling then came to his senses and nodded. He Jin hurriedly helped He Hou and Liu Bian get on the car, and then personally led the Yulin Army to call Yuan Shao and others to protect Emperor Ling and others from leaving...
When Emperor Ling left, the travel ceremony was naturally cancelled, and Zhang Rang and others also set off.
Feng Xi hid in the crowd and looked at the many assassins lying on the ground, but was secretly frightened. Then he was glad that although the assassination failed and did not hurt the Ling Emperor, he finally killed Meiren Wang and had an explanation to Queen He.
Moreover, the assassins were also killed on the spot, leaving no survivors, so he didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to stay for a long time and quickly got on his horse and left...
Cao Cao waited until all the officials left and the scene became quiet before he walked to Han Tao and whispered with a little excitement: "Zizhen, today we will protect the assassin, and we will make great contributions. The emperor has already opened a golden mouth and will reward us with merits. Thanks to your magic tricks and arrangements, let's go back to the inn to rest!"
Han Tao ignored Cao Cao, but instead walked to the beheaded assassin, identifying their appearance, counting the number of people, and trying hard to recall something...
"The number of people is wrong, eight people are missing..." Han Tao murmured in a low voice.
Cao Cao stepped forward in confusion and asked, "Zizhen, what's wrong with you? What are you missing? Eight people..."
Han Tao then turned around and responded to Cao Cao: "These assassins are Zhang Liang's subordinates. When they were in Baima Temple, I had seen them pretending to be monks and escape from He Xian's encirclement. But now after searching, the number of people is wrong, and eight people are missing."
Cao Cao also knew Han Tao's memory that he never forgets. Since he said he had seen these people and had eight fewer, there would be no mistake.
"Will they still have ambushing other places to prevent the assassination from failing here and have arranged a second plan?" Cao Cao put forward his own idea.
"From the arrangement just now, even the two people hidden in the Yulin Army took action together. They have already achieved their contributions and there is no need to make arrangements in other places. Then what is the purpose of keeping these eight people..." Han Tao obviously did not agree with Cao Cao's idea and was still thinking hard...
