Assassination

"Die!"

Jleb!

"KYaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Your Majesty!"

The sudden chaos was unexpected. They had already checked the gift before and determined that it was nothing more than a scroll made out of skin that was big enough to paint the map of the northern area.

Who would have thought that there was a knife hidden at the deepest scroll?

"Damn it!"

Emperor Yang Zhou saw the sudden movement and jumped to the side. The knife was pierced towards the chair as he evaded to the side. With his past and experience, his reaction speed was considered quite fast.

"Protect His Majesty!" Prime Minister Lan yelled in anger.

No one would bring weapon into the main hall because it was the rules. He had to call the Imperial Guards who were waiting outside before he could properly protect the Emperor.
