Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

At this moment, Lei Yongji rushed into the hall with a group of Qin Palace guards, and dozens of archers were ready to shoot.

Lei Yongji sneered: "You can't escape, surrender!"

At this moment, an assassin suddenly grasped his iron spear with his hand and stabbed towards his abdomen.

The last assassin did the same.

In desperation, Li Shimin yelled, "Keep alive!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Dozens of bows and arrows were shot at the assassin, and in a blink of an eye, the assassin was nailed to the ground, all limbs were pierced by sharp arrows.

However, at this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly flew towards Li Shimin.

At this moment, the archer was only twenty steps away from Li Shimin. Li Shimin didn't have time to react at such a close distance.

puff...

The sound of a sharp arrowhead piercing the flesh sounded, and at the critical moment, Cheng Zhijie blocked the arrow for Li Shimin with his own body.

Cheng Zhijie let out a muffled sound, but collapsed on the ground dejectedly!

The archer of the Prince Qin's Palace guard also stabbed himself in the heart when no one else was paying attention.

"Old Cheng...Old Cheng!"

Qin Qiong shouted in shock, "Arrows are poisonous!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who came after them, looked at the mess and sighed, "The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!"

Li Shimin's face was ashen, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Quick, find the doctor... find the doctor!"

……

In the courtyard of the Cheng Mansion, the guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion held torches, illuminating the surrounding area brightly. Three steps, one post and five steps, one post, and the security was strictly guarded.

Lei Yongji patrolled around with a group of guards, looking vigilantly at the empty streets, where every house on both sides of the street had their doors closed and their doors locked.The bustling flow of people during the day has disappeared at this time.

A round of bright moon hangs in the sky, casting cold light on the cobblestone road on the street.

The sound of whips beating the flesh and suppressed screams came from Cheng's mansion.

The last assassin was hung under a tree in the courtyard. His clothes had been beaten to shreds, his muscles were exposed, and his upper body was covered with bruises.The man's head was drooping, and he had obviously passed out.

wow...

A bucket of cold water with salt was poured on the assassin's body, the assassin trembled all over, slowly raised his head, his whole body trembled and convulsed.He gritted his teeth, and angrily spit out four words weakly from his throat: "Kill me!"

Qin Qiong, who was sitting on the side, sighed slightly, turned his head to look at Li Shimin, who was sitting on the other side, and said, "His Royal Highness, these desperadoes probably won't be able to ask any questions. Let's take them in charge of the government office, and say When it comes to torture, the officials in the yamen are better at it."

Li Shimin's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.After a long time, Li Shimin asked, "What happened to Cheng Zhijie?"

Qin Qiong said: "The doctor said that there is no serious problem, but the suffering is not less. In order to detoxify, we only need to cut out the muscles around the arrowhead..."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as there is no danger to life."

Qin Qiong was slightly surprised and said: "I don't know who the real master of the assassin is!"

Li Shimin roared: "Hit me hard, and that guard, you check it out for me!"

Lei Yongji Qiqi Ai Ai said: "His Royal Highness, the soldier who shot the arrow has been found out. He originally entered the Qin Palace to protect the army in the third year of Wude, and his background is innocent.

Standing in the corner, Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Actually...he has already said a lot."

Li Shimin glanced at him: "Xuanling, what do you see?"

Fang Xuanling said: "The accents of these people are from the area of ​​Shuozhou and Yanmen!"

Li Shimin nodded.

Fang Xuanling looked at Lei Yongji and said, "If my guess is correct, the guard soldier who committed suicide in fear of crime was either from Shuozhou, Lingzhou, or Shu?"

Lei Yongji was very surprised and said: "It's really amazing. What you said is right. This man is from Lizhou. Because of his proficiency in bow and horse and his martial arts skills, he was selected into the guard army. For more than two years, he has been conscientious and conscientious. Never miss a beat..."

Lei Yongji suddenly realized: "You mean these assassins are from Chen Dadu's guard army?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "No, I guess, on the contrary, these people will definitely not be sent by General Chen!"

Li Shimin asked suddenly: "Why do you conclude that these people were not sent by Chief Protector Chen?"

Fang Xuanling said with a faint smile: "Chen Dadu's guards are known for being strict in running the army, and he has an army called Beiwei Army, which belongs to Chen Dadu's guards. It is said that they are best at disguising and doing things. Hundreds of people can take down Luoyang City, and they are the same people who captured Mingzhou. Looking at these four people, Kong Wuli might be able to say, but between actions and deeds, there is no coordination, and there is no way to advance and retreat. Chen Dadu protects the East and retreats the East Turks , defeated the Turks in the west, and almost wiped out the Tubo army, did you rely on such soldiers?"

A playful smile appeared on Du Ruhui's face, he coughed, and said, "Where are the black sheep? Chen Dadu guards the army strictly, but it's not surprising that there are one or two cunning and undisciplined people in an army of tens of thousands of people." ?”

Fang Xuanling smiled lightly and said: "Then it doesn't even make sense. During Cheng Zhijie's wedding banquet, assassinating an important official of the imperial court and a first-rank vassal king is such a big event. It cannot be done by anyone who is not an elite in the army and a trusted person. Make sure to hit the target with one blow." , Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, and Chen Dadu sent four trash. His Royal Highness Qin Wang, who can believe this?"

Li Shimin smiled lightly and said: "If I wrote this in the memorial and handed it over to Beijing, the one who would be most happy would be General Chen, but the crown prince!"

Li Shimin turned to look at Fang Xuanling and said: "In your opinion, what kind of god is behind the scenes?

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, then slowly said: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, who just returned to Taiyuan today, and who is most disturbed by the assassination?"

Lei Yongji blurted out: "East... Gong!"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Well, let me put it another way, if it's the King of Qin——Please forgive me, Your Highness the King of Qin."

Li Shimin shook his robe sleeves, and said with a faint smile, "It's okay, you say it."

Fang Xuanling said: "If His Highness is unfortunately stabbed by Xiao Xiao, who will bear the brunt of the court's indictment?"

Lei Yongji blushed, coughed lightly, and whispered: "East Palace!"

Fang Xuanling nodded lightly and said: "The other way around, His Royal Highness King Qin was lucky to be safe, a memorial was handed over to the capital, Tian Yan was furious, and who was the one who issued an edict to reprimand?"

Lei Yongji said for the third time: "Eastern Palace!"

Li Shimin was thoughtful.

Fang Xuanling patiently explained: "If His Highness's seal mentions that the assassin is from Chen Dadu's guard army, what will the emperor think?"

Lei Yongji looked puzzled.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The princelings assassinated important officials of the Qin Party, the Qin Party impeached the famous princeling generals, the dispute between Qin and Chu, dog eats dog, what a mouthful!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said, "Who benefits?"

Li Shimin asked in shock, "Who is it?"
