Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

An eunuch hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Chengqian and said anxiously: "In the paddock, Hanwang Li Ke was assassinated and his whereabouts are unknown."

"The king of Wei, Li Tai, is missing, and there is no news of him."

"Elder Sun Chong was severely injured by Qin Huaiyu, Yue Wang, and Li Changge successively."

"His Majesty heard the news, Thunder was furious, and has now dispatched the four major imperial guards out."

"Outside the palace, under the leadership of Mr. Wei Zheng, the Yushitai, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment are also dispatched together."

Hearing this explosive news one after another, Li Chengqian remained expressionless.

After pondering for a long time, Li Chengqian suddenly asked: "Eldest Sun Chong was beaten, but his bodyguard didn't take action?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it seems that Young Master Changsun's guards have also disappeared. When he came back, he was alone, and he never saw his personal guards come back to the camp." The eunuch said respectfully.

"What happened to Li Changge? When did she return to Beijing?" Li Chengqian asked with a frown.

"Return to Your Highness, this is still under investigation..."

"Forget it, don't worry about her." Li Chengqian said thoughtfully, "Where is Changsun Wuji?"

"Returning to Your Highness, someone saw that the eldest grandson returned to the capital this morning. The current location cannot be known, and further investigation is needed."

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on Li Xiao, and report any of his actions to this palace, let's go down!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch responded, but did not retreat in time, and stood aside, hesitating to speak.

"What else?" Li Chengqian asked with a frown.

"Your Highness, the slave has heard some words, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Say!"

"Returning to Your Highness, there are rumors from the outside world that the assassination of the King of Han has something to do with the East Palace..."

"This palace knows."

"The slave retire!"

The eunuch withdrew quickly.

Li Chengqian sat cross-legged, expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

paddock camp.

Li Xiao is preparing to bring someone back into the paddock.

Xue Rengui and Wang Qingxue never came back, and he felt uneasy.

But at this moment, Chang Sun Chong stopped in front.

"Master Cui, you can't let King Yue in!"

Chang Sun Chong looked at Li Xiao resentfully, and continued: "The identity of the assassin has not been found out yet, everyone here is suspected, including King Yue!"

After a pause, he continued, "I think we should wait until the people from Dali Temple arrive before making a decision."

"Master Cui, what do you think?"

Cui Heshan frowned slightly, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and it was difficult to make a decision.

He is just a servant, so he is not qualified to stop Li Xiao.

"Changsun Chong, my Highness is connected by blood with the King of Han, and they are as close as brothers, so don't spit blood!" Zhao Yuntian said angrily.

His hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

"That's strange." Chang Sun Chong said jokingly, "The three Highnesses entered the paddock together, but only one of your Highness came out. They are as close as brothers. I am eye-opening."

"The assassin, why did he only find the King of Han and King Wei? Why is His Royal Highness the King of Yue unscathed?"

"Master Cui, haven't you thought about the reason for this?"

Cui Heshan frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Li Xiao: "Your Highness, in order to avoid suspicion, you'd better not go in. Three thousand city guards are enough to go in."

Li Xiao looked at Cui Heshan, his voice turned cold: "If this king insists on going in?"

"If His Royal Highness insists on going his own way, I will have no choice but to force His Highness to stay here. I believe that Master Wei will not blame the lower official after he finds out." Cui Heshan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

The words fall.

Many armored soldiers suddenly appeared around, surrounding Li Xiao and his guards.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this, Li Xiao chuckled lightly, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that Master Cui has already made preparations!"

After a pause, Li Xiao cast a glance at Chang Sun Chong, and then said, "You also found this person, right? You put the double reed here and think I can't see it?"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise and panic flashed in Cui Heshan's eyes, and then he smiled wryly, and said, "Please don't embarrass me, Your Highness, after all, the assassination of the King of Han is too involved, and it is enough for the city guards to rescue him, why should Your Highness go in?" Woolen cloth?"

Li Xiao suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said thoughtfully, "Did the guard who escaped secretly say something to you?"

"How did His Highness know?"

Cui Heshan looked at Li Xiao in shock.

"What did he tell you?" Li Xiao said expressionlessly.

"This... Please forgive me, Your Highness, this is a secret."

Cui Heshan gritted his teeth and said with a troubled look on his face.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go over and ask myself." Li Xiao said flatly.

Cui Heshan looked hesitant, and finally sighed, saying: "Well, since His Highness has guessed it, then I will tell the truth."

"Indeed, the guard who reported the letter concealed some information from His Highness, and he only informed the officials after His Highness left."

"He said that those assassins are not without features. Not only are they there, but they are also very eye-catching. Their weapons are extremely sharp, and they also have very powerful crossbows and a horn bow."

"It is precisely because these assassins are well-equipped that the guards around King Han are powerless to resist."

"So..." Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you suspect that my people did it?"

"I don't dare!" Cui Heshan clasped his fists and said hastily.

"It's just that everyone in this capital knows that there is a master craftsman behind His Royal Highness King Yue, who has forged several peerless swords one after another. From this point of view, His Highness has certain suspicions."

"Of course, there is only a slight suspicion, and everyone present is suspected."

"What the truth is, I don't have the qualifications to investigate, and I have to wait for Master Wei Zheng to come to make a decision."

"Hehe..." Li Xiao chuckled, "It's ridiculous to doubt the king just because the assassin is well-equipped."

"It's a helpless move to be an official, please forgive me, Your Highness!" Cui Heshan clasped his fists and gritted his teeth.

Li Xiao looked around, there were no less than a thousand soldiers waiting for him inside and outside the camp.

He frowned.

But suddenly, his eyes touched a person, he was taken aback for a moment, then he turned his head and said calmly: "Since Mr. Cui insists, then I won't make things difficult for you anymore."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding!"

"Tell your people to get out of the way, I want to go back to Lantian Villa."

"This..." Cui Heshan thought for a while, and then shouted, "Everyone back down!"

"If Your Highness returns to the villa, please do so."

"However, the next official has the guts to remind His Highness that this is a special period, and His Highness should not walk around to avoid arousing criticism."

Li Xiao didn't say a word, then he led the people out of the camp, and rode his horse galloping in the direction of Lantian Villa.

But after walking a few miles, Li Xiao took the lead and stopped.

"Your Highness, what did you find?" Li Junxian asked suspiciously.

"Wait for someone."

Li Xiao looked at the dense jungle not far away, and said thoughtfully.

wait?

Although Li Junxian was puzzled, he didn't continue to ask.

A moment later, under the surprised eyes of Li Junxian and others, a person suddenly appeared in the jungle.

"Miss Wang?"

Li Junxian looked surprised at Wang Qingxue after the disguise.

Li Xiao frowned: "Only you?"

Chapter 233: Things are in trouble

"Your Highness, Xue Rengui has been arrested." Wang Qingxue said anxiously, "It's not too late, Your Highness, please rescue him immediately!"

"what happened?"

Li Xiao frowned tightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light shot out of them.

With the combined strength of Xue Rengui and Wang Qingxue, how could they be defeated?

This made Li Xiao's heart sink, and suddenly felt that the matter was not simple.

"Your Highness, Xue Rengui and I were secretly monitoring King Han. In the morning, a group of men in black suddenly came over, and there was also a strange old man who was very powerful."

Wang Qingxue frowned, and recalled carefully: "We lost the enemy and fled all the way. Unexpectedly, we were still caught up. Xue Rengui stayed behind after breaking up. I..."

Having said that, Wang Qingxue was ashamed.

"You made the right choice, it's not your fault!"

Li Xiao comforted, then asked: "Do you still remember the appearance of the old man?"

"Remember, I can draw it!"

Wang Qingxue was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "By the way, he said that His Highness colluded with the Turks, and he was ordered by the crown prince to kill the traitors!"

"How dare the prince!"

Hearing this, Li Junxian became angry immediately.

Although Xue Rengui is a junior to him, he has already recognized this young man in getting along these days.

Li Xiao said thoughtfully: "I don't think it's that simple. Since these assassins are masked in black, they naturally want to hide their identities. They shouldn't blatantly tell you the identity of the instigators behind them."

Wang Qingxue nodded: "Your Highness's guess is consistent with mine."

"I originally thought that these assassins were sent by the prince, but the strange thing is that they didn't continue to hunt after me after I left. It seems... It seems that they deliberately told me the news and let me go."

"I'm also not sure who the manipulator behind this is, so I didn't show up rashly, so as not to scare the snake."

"You did the right thing." Li Xiao nodded and said, "The reason he let you go is to put blame on the crown prince. If you just showed up and said everything, it will be as he wished."

"It's not the prince, who could it be?"

Li Junxian looked puzzled.

"Maybe it's the opposite..." Lu Li looked thoughtful, "It's hard to tell if it's true or not, unless you have more clues."

"Miss Wang, draw the portrait as soon as possible, and I will save people." Li Xiao said.

"Your Highness, absolutely not!" Li Junxian said solemnly, "At this moment, thousands of city guards have entered the paddock, and there are so many people, it is difficult for us to hide our whereabouts. But I can't explain it."

"At my speed, no one can catch up to me." Li Xiao was thoughtful.

"Is Your Highness planning to go alone?" Li Junxian frowned, "No! If Your Highness meets that old man, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

"His Royal Highness, please calm down. There are so many city guards going in to look for them. Forgive them for not escaping. They will be found sooner or later. It doesn't make much difference whether we go or not."

"How does Uncle Li know that the city guards are completely trustworthy?" Li Xiao said solemnly, "This is the capital, and I don't trust anyone except my own people."

Hearing this, Li Junxian said seriously: "Your Highness, you are willing to go to the danger alone for a subordinate. The subordinate admires you very much and is very moved. But the subordinate believes that if Xue Rengui knows, he will not want you Take risks for him."

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!" Li Xiao said firmly.

"Let me go!" Wang Qingxue said anxiously.
