Zhao Yancheng sneered.
"Does Daning want to go to war with us?" a middle-aged man shouted. "What a big appetite!"
Ding Ce hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, and everyone, I'm here to seek cooperation with Yu the Great to deal with Great Shuo, not to make enemies with Yu the Great. I think there must be someone who doesn't want Daning to join forces with Yu the Great!"
The ministers and Zhao Yancheng frowned in silence.
They also felt that it was strange.
Yu the Great and Daning were separated by two countries, and they followed the policy of befriending the distant and attacking the nearby. Therefore, they should not be hostile to Yu the Great, let alone assassinate him. Clearly, someone was playing tricks this time, and it was most likely Great Shuo and Great Kun.
Ding Ce heaved a sigh of relief.
After a while, a middle-aged man who was as strong as a black bear strode in and knelt on the ground.
"Song Kun, did you catch the assassins?" Zhao Yancheng asked.
Song Kun's dark face was filled with shame. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, we are useless and let them escape!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yancheng's expression changed, and he said coldly, "They escaped from the palace?"
"… Yes." Song Kun hesitated and lowered his head even more, almost touching the ground. "Your Majesty, please order the lockdown of the capital!"
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Yancheng snorted in annoyance, "All of you claim to be elites and invincible in the world, but in the end, the two girls escaped. You've really made us proud!"
Sealing the capital to search for the two assassins would inevitably cause panic and countless twists and turns. Moreover, if they could not be stopped in the palace, could they be caught in the capital?
He had no hope of that.
"I am useless!" Song Kun apologized with his forehead on the ground.
"Your Majesty, these two women have strange skills and are indeed difficult to deal with." The middle-aged man who spoke earlier said, "Now that we are prepared, it will be difficult for them to succeed. It is not worth it to search the capital."
As a cabinet minister, he naturally did not want the capital to be in turmoil. Those who were hiding in the dark would take the opportunity to make a move and break the balance of the capital.
"That's right …" Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Forget it!" Zhao Yancheng said coldly. "Song Kun, forfeit your salary for a year and the rest of the palace guards for half a year!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Kun said gratefully.
Although a year's salary made his heart ache, as the leader of the imperial guards, a year's salary was very generous, but now he was punished. Fortunately, he was not punished. If he was really expelled from the imperial palace, that would be the most terrifying thing.
Zhao Yancheng waved his hand and said, "All of you are dismissed!"
The ministers bowed and left the hall.
Zhang Wuniu didn't leave. He reached out to feel Zhao Yancheng's wrist, then looked at Gu Yuanhe's, nodded, and said with a smile, "This Great Master Ding Ru is indeed amazing. His Majesty and Chief Gu have both recovered.
His medical skills were amazing, and he was even more aware of how impressive Chu Li's divine powers were.
"Alright, you can leave as well," Zhao Yancheng said.
Before Zhang Wuniu left, he pressed his palms together and bowed to Chu Li. Chu Li returned the gesture.
"Bam!" Zhao Yancheng fiercely pounded the desk and coldly said, "Arrogant!"
Gu Yuanhe also said hatefully, "Your Majesty, are we really going to let those two assassins go?"
Zhao Yancheng snorted. "What else can we do?"
"What if they continue to assassinate our Dayu's important ministers?" Gu Yuanhe said.
Zhao Yancheng shook his head. "It's useless to assassinate important ministers. As long as they kill me, they can stir up a dispute. Forget it, let them be."
Gu Yuanhe said, "Great Master Ding Ru, are those two women still in the city?"
Zhao Yancheng also looked at Chu Li.
He wanted Chu Li to help, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. After all, as the Emperor, he had a lot of distrust towards Chu Li. Reality had slapped him hard in the face, and he couldn't bring himself to ask Chu Li for help in catching the assassins.
Chu Li nodded. "They have already escaped. We can't catch them."
"Hmph!" Zhao Yancheng was very unwilling. "You saw them assassinate you in advance, right?"
Chu Li nodded.
Zhao Yancheng glared at him fiercely.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, even if I tell you, it's useless. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, there's nothing we can do!"
"Then do you have a way to catch them?" Zhao Yancheng asked.
If he could catch such a strange skill and use it for his own use, he could train a group of assassins. They would be extremely powerful and could have a miraculous effect at critical moments. As for almost killing him, he just needed to punish them slightly.
