Li Junxian knelt down on one knee at the door and said: "This subordinate is incompetent, let him run away."
Li Xiao's eyes moved: "But an old man?"
"That's right." Li Junxian raised his head in doubt, "How does Your Highness know?"
Li Xiao gave a rough account of what happened in the underground palace.
Li Junxian suddenly came to a sudden, and said in surprise: "It's actually the King of Han! What a ruthless method!"
Li Xiao waved his hands and said, "Uncle Li, get up, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."
"Wei Wang won't be able to show up in the next period of time, please Uncle Li make arrangements to help him change his appearance, disguise as a guard, and follow us back to Lantian Villa."
"Yes!"
"As for the old man, he can't run away."
Li Xiao's eyes were thoughtful.
After a pause, he continued: "After you get out, send someone to check whether there is any sect in the Jianghu forces with the surname Yun and a similar age."
"Even Commander Li can't do anything to him, such a strong man must have a good reputation." Li Tai looked surprised, "Why didn't I expect that!"
"Yes!"
Li Junxian accepted the order.
Then Li Tai went out with Li Junxian.
For the next period of time, he will hide.
Although he didn't know what Li Xiao was going to do, but at the moment he knew very well that he had no right to speak.
Li Xiao pondered for a long time in the camp alone, and finally called out: "Old Zhao, come in!"
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Yuntian entered.
Li Xiao's eyes were deep, and he ordered: "Take a hard trip, Xingye rushed to Qinling, and brought Liu Ruohan here secretly."
Zhao Yuntian looked puzzled, nodded after thinking for a while and said: "Your subordinate obeys!"
"How long will it take?" Li Xiao asked again.
"Before tomorrow morning." Zhao Yuntian replied.
"Be careful on the road."
"Subordinates retire."
Zhao Yuntian took the order to retreat.
After giving the order, Li Xiao looked at the front in a daze, and murmured: "Third Brother, since you want to play, then I will accompany you to play a big game..."
……
Outside the paddock, the Ministry of War camp.
Facing Wei Zheng's doubts, Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "Master Wei is too arbitrary. Whether the assassin took the cold iron horn bow or not needs further investigation."
After a pause, Du Ruhui ordered: "Come here!"
"Subordinates are here!"
Du Ruhui's subordinates took orders.
"Take my token and go to the Warehouse to get the Cold Iron Horn Bow!"
"Yes!"
The man clasped his fists and was about to take orders to leave.
"Wait!" Wei Zheng said suddenly, "Don't bother, I've already sent someone to investigate."
Hearing this, Du Ruhui's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did Master Wei get the news?"
"You don't have to worry about it, if necessary, I will tell you." Wei Zheng said expressionlessly.
Not long after, Wei Zheng's people sent back a message——
The cold iron horn bow is not in the warehouse of the Ministry of War!
"Master Du, the situation is already clear."
At this point, Wei Zheng stared at Du Ruhui with a stern expression: "First, the dispatch order of the city guards was leaked, and then the Hantie Bullhorn Bow disappeared. How does your Ministry of War explain it?"
Du Ruhui frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I will definitely investigate and find out!"
"If it is true as you said, I will apologize to His Majesty."
After finishing speaking, Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to stare at Lu Chengqing, and asked in a cold voice: "These days the daily affairs of the Ministry of War have been managed by you, do you have anything to say?"
"what?!"
Lu Chengqing was frightened and trembled all over, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were full of panic.
After thinking for a while, he pretended to be calm and said: "My lord, I don't know! This cold iron ox horn bow has never been approached by anyone since it entered the warehouse. How could it disappear for no reason?"
At this time, Wei Zheng said expressionlessly: "If Mr. Du doesn't believe me in Dali Temple, you can send someone back to check."
"Come here!" Du Ruhui thought for a while and ordered, "Go back and have a look!"
"Yes!"
Du Ruhui's bodyguard immediately took orders to leave.
"Come on!" Wei Zheng also shouted loudly.
"Subordinates are here!"
The prime minister of Dali Temple immediately stepped forward to take orders.
Only Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Take Cui Heshan and Lu Chengqing into custody. Without my order, no one can get close to these two people!"
"Yes!"
The prime minister of Dali Temple obeyed, and immediately ordered the left and right to escort Cui Heshan and Lu Chengqing out.
Regarding this, Du Ruhui took a deep breath, his face was gloomy, but he didn't stop it.
There was a sudden silence in the main tent.
suddenly--
"Report!"
"My lord! There is a situation!"
"The King of Yue has now found the assassin's hiding place in the paddock!"
Chapter 244: Every step of the way
"Did you really find the assassin?!"
In the camp, Wei Zheng and others looked at the soldiers who reported the message in disbelief.
"I don't know." The soldier said seriously, "This is the news sent by the King of Yue, and it has not been confirmed yet."
"how can that be?!"
Zhang Liang was shocked, and murmured: "Before, there were nearly ten thousand people in the city guards and the four major imperial guards, but no assassin was found."
"Why did the King of Yue only bring hundreds of people into the paddock, and found the trace of the assassin in just a few hours?"
After thinking about it, Wei Zheng quickly asked, "How is the situation with King Yue? Any news?"
"Master, the person sent by King Yue is outside the door."
"Let him in!"
"Yes!"
After a while, Lu Li slowly walked into the tent.
"Humble job has seen you adults!"
Lu Li remained expressionless and saluted one by one.
"Quickly, what's going on?" Wei Zheng asked anxiously.
At this time, what no one noticed was that Li Ke on the bed quietly pricked up his ears, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Lu Li said slowly, "Under the leadership of His Royal Highness King Yue, after unremitting efforts, we finally found the cave where the assassin is hiding in a hidden place."
"But it's pitch black inside, and I don't know how deep it is. His Highness didn't attack rashly, so he asked the humble official to come and report to the adults."
"How can you be sure it's the assassin's hiding place?" Zhang Liang asked doubtfully.
"When the low-ranking people were looking for it, I saw a sneaky person entering it." Lu Li said with his hands clasped, "May I ask, besides the assassin, who else is in this paddock?"
"Since this is the case, we should leave quickly to support King Yue!"
As he spoke, Wei Zheng gave an order: "Come here, pass on my order to order all the imperial guards to return to the paddock and arrest the assassin!"
"My lord, His Royal Highness King Yue has something to tell your lord."
"Say!"
"His Royal Highness Yue suspects that the mastermind behind this gang of assassins is very powerful. In order to find out the truth and seek justice for His Royal Highness Han, His Highness wants to ask your lord to keep alive, so don't kill them all!"
"It's natural!"
Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "No matter who planned this assassination, I will deal with it fairly and will never tolerate it!"
After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng looked at Li Ke: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely find the real culprit behind the scenes!"
"Thank you, my lord." Li Ke said pretending to be grateful.
"It's not too late, I'll leave immediately!"
Zhang Liang turned around and left.
But at this time, Li Ke suddenly said to Lu Li: "Help me tell King Yue that third brother is very grateful."
"Humble job notes."
Lu Li cupped his fists, and then left.
After everyone left, Li Ke's brows gradually tightened, and his eyes showed deep solemnity.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Ke called out weakly: "Come here..."
Suddenly a guard came in from outside the tent.
The guard leaned close to his ear, quietly listening to Li Ke's explanation.
After a while, the guard turned and left.
At this time, more than ten meters away from the camp, Lu Li slowly appeared, his eyes thoughtful...
Time is fleeting.
Unknowingly, a ray of morning light emerged in the sky.
After rushing around in the middle of the night, Wei Zheng led the forbidden army to the outskirts of Li Xiao's camp.
Entering the camp of the Chinese army, Wei Zheng clasped his fists towards Li Xiao and said, "Your Highness, how is the situation now?"
But Li Xiao had a sad face, and said slowly: "The assassin's hiding place has been taken down."
"Is there a living mouth?"
Seeing Li Xiao's expression, Wei Zheng immediately had a bad feeling.
"They are all dead men, there are no survivors." Li Xiao said with a sigh.
"How could this be?" Zhang Liang frowned, and asked vocally, "Why is Your Highness so impulsive? Wait for the army to arrive!"
"I don't want to either, but it's already happened."
Li Xiao spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.
"Where is the location?" Wei Zheng asked with a frown.
"Old Zhao, take a few adults there." Li Xiao turned his head and ordered.
