Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"Yes!"

Zhao Yuntian took the order, and then took Wei Zheng and others out of the camp.

At this time, Lu Li stepped into the tent, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, as you expected, this subordinate told the whole story according to the words you gave, and the King of Han immediately sent people to leave the camp, and the subordinates have already sent people to follow. .”

"What was his expression at that time?"

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.

"The king of Han looked calm, and he didn't show any emotion."

As Lu Li was talking, he suddenly thought of something and continued, "By the way, he asked me to tell His Highness that he is very grateful to you."

"Grateful...hehe." Li Xiao sneered, "I'm afraid he hates me to death."

Half an hour later, Wei Zheng turned back again, with a bit of sullen expression on his face.

"His Royal Highness, I received news that your people were about to leave quietly, but the imperial army found something strange and stopped them on the road."

"What?!" Li Xiao said with a flustered face, pretending to be calm, "Maybe the newly recruited people don't understand the rules, and I will reprimand them."

Wei Zheng suppressed his anger and asked, "Your Highness, why didn't you tell the truth? Did you find something in the underground palace?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Li Xiao said firmly: "Your Excellency must have misunderstood. If there is any situation, I will of course inform you as soon as possible."

"is it?"

With a look of thought in his eyes, Wei Zheng continued: "Those who are about to leave quietly carry a big package, can I let my people check it?"

Li Xiao: "No!"

"Then don't blame the lower officials for being rude!"

With a serious face, Wei Zheng shouted, "Come on!"

"Subordinates are here!"

A Dali Temple Cheng immediately entered the tent.

"Go, check what's in the package."

"Yes!"

Dali Temple Cheng took the order.

But when he was about to go out, Li Xiao said helplessly, "No need, let me tell you!"

"what's going on?"

Wei Zheng frowned in confusion.

"The things in that package were indeed found in the underground palace." Li Xiao said with a helpless smile.

"Is it important evidence?"

"It's a person!"

"People?" Zhang Liang looked surprised, "Who is it?"

Li Xiao took a deep breath and said slowly, "Liu Ruohan!"

"Liu Ruohan?!" Wei Zheng frowned, "Emissary from Dongying, Liu Ruohan?"

"good."

Li Xiao nodded.

"This assassination has something to do with Dongpu?!" Zhang Liang murmured with a very ugly expression on his face, "How could people from Dongpu participate in it without the cooperation of the middle and high-level officials?"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly brightened: "The reason why His Highness secretly sent Liu Ruohan away is because he suspects the Ministry of War and Dongying..."

Instead, he remembered that Wang Jie, Li Xiao's disciple, had been attacked by assassins before.

Moreover, I saw with my own eyes that the assassin was holding a cold iron ox horn bow in his hand.

And last night in the camp outside the paddock, it was also confirmed that the Cold Iron Oxhorn Bow was indeed not in the Ministry of War.

How important is the Ministry of War to collude with the enemy country!

Right now, the situation is dire.

Once the news gets out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, Li Xiao did not believe in the Ministry of War, and dared not tell the truth in the presence of the Minister of War, Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui looked solemn, and said: "If it is true that the Ministry of War has spies, I will not be able to absolve myself of the blame!"

"Lord Du, I'm sorry, it's not that I can't trust you, but that this matter is too shocking, and I have to put safety first." Li Xiao said apologetically.

Later, under Li Xiao's order, Zhao Yuntian brought the unconscious Liu Ruohan into the camp.

After confirming that it was correct, several people all looked dignified.

"Lord Du, as a colleague, I know you well, and I believe that you would not be able to do such a traitorous thing, but without your token, why did the cold iron ox horn bow appear in the hands of the assassin?" Wei Zheng took a deep breath, looked at the Du Ruhui said slowly.

"Except for Lord Du's token, can someone else's token do it?" Li Xiao asked suddenly.

"Impossible!" Du Ruhui said with great certainty, "The decisions on important matters of the Ministry of War are all made by me alone, unless..."

Speaking of this, Du Ruhui seemed to have thought of something, he looked horrified, but did not continue talking.

"Unless this token belongs to the palace!"

Chapter 245: Doubtful

As soon as Du Ruhui said this, the people present fell silent instantly.

The Ministry of War is the most important place in the country, controlling the lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, and has a unique position.

This has led to the fact that the officials of the Ministry of War are not idle people.

If there is no order from the royal family, how can the officials of the Ministry of War abuse their private power?

If it weren't for the support of the royal family, how could the officials of the Ministry of War take the risk to act like this?

Everyone is very clear.

"It's just..." Li Xiao thought thoughtfully in his eyes, "Who is this person who gave the order?"

"Your Highness, don't make random guesses!" Wei Zheng said with a serious face, "No matter who it is, I will definitely investigate and find out."

"What Master Wei said is very true, I am indeed a bit abrupt." Li Xiao said hastily.

After a pause, Li Xiao suddenly said, "Hey, tell me, what is the prince doing now?"

After speaking, he realized something, quickly covered his mouth, and said embarrassingly: "Sorry, I have no other meaning."

Several people frowned and fell into deep thought again.

After a while, Wei Zheng turned and left, without turning his head, he said: "I will keep someone here to see if I can find out more clues. Liu Ruohan's matter will be kept secret until the truth is found out!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liang, Du Ruhui and others also left one after another.

After everyone went out, Zhao Yuntian quickly walked up to Li Xiao, and whispered: "Your Highness, everything is going well, Liu Ruohan was taken away by people from Dali Temple."

"Do people in Dali Temple have doubts?" Li Xiao asked.

"not yet."

Zhao Yuntian said with a worried face: "But what should I do after Liu Ruohan wakes up? If she speaks out everything, wouldn't it be detrimental to His Highness?"

"Have you used the anesthetic?"

"According to your order, this subordinate gave Liu Ruohan a lot of anesthetics, and he will probably be unconscious for two days."

"Two days?" Li Xiao muttered thoughtfully, "Enough."

"What should I do next?"

"Go back to the camp." Li Xiao smiled coldly, "It's time to meet my good third brother."

……

paddock camp.

"What did you say?!"

Li Ke frowned, looking at the guard in front of him with seriousness in his eyes.

"When my subordinates followed Master Wei, they learned that the King of Yue had sent someone to wipe out the underground palace."

"Did you catch someone alive?" Li Ke asked urgently.

"No." The guard shook his head, "Last night King Yue led people to attack the underground palace, and the group of people raised by His Highness fought stubbornly, and none survived."

"Has this news been confirmed?" Li Ke asked nervously.

"The people in Dali Temple have already checked, and indeed no one was found alive. The subordinates also took the opportunity to approach King Yue's camp. The number of people was the same as when they entered the paddock."

"That's good……"

Li Ke let out a long breath.

After a pause, the guard continued: "Your Highness, this is very unreasonable. According to Senior Yunlong's skill, how could King Yue's people have no casualties?"

Hearing this, Li Ke's eyes were thoughtful: "That old fox Yunlong probably ran away early because he saw something was wrong. Don't worry about him, with his strength, he can escape easily."

The personal guard nodded and continued: "Your Highness, the villain has already informed the grandson of the situation here, and he asked his subordinates to tell His Highness that he will unite with some ministers to do his best to help His Highness drive the King of Yue out of the capital."

"Oh, I see."

Li Ke was still frowning.

After thinking for a while, Li Ke asked: "Where is Yunhu who is with Changsun Chong? Is there still no news?"

The personal guard shook his head: "I didn't find it, it seems that the world has evaporated, could it be that I have betrayed His Highness?"

"What do these brothers and sisters want to do?!"

Li Ke's face was extremely gloomy.

There was always a question in his mind.

How did Wei Zheng learn that the Hantie ox horn bow was taken away?

And it just so happened that Yunhu, who was holding a cold iron ox horn bow, disappeared innocently.

What is the connection between these two?

After pondering for a long time, Li Ke took a deep breath and asked, "How long will it take for them to come back?"

The guard replied, "About a stick of incense."

……

At the same time, the class teacher was on his way back to camp.

Wei Zheng and the other speakers all looked dull and frowning.

Li Xiao, who was traveling with him, rolled his eyes, rode his horse and approached them, and asked, "Master Wei, have you ever found out about Han Tie's horn bow?"

"Um?!"

Du Ruhui, Zhang Liang and the others instantly turned their heads and looked over.

Wei Zheng also knew that the matter could not be kept secret, so he could only say: "When the assassin assassinated, two people were also implicated, namely Xue Rengui and Wang Jie. Xue Rengui covered Wang Jie's escape and was captured himself."

"It was Wang Jie who escaped and reported the assassin's information to the King of Yue. Afterwards, he recognized that the bow in the assassin's hand was the cold iron ox horn bow."

"It's a matter of great importance, so I didn't make it clear at the first time."

"So that's how it is!" Zhang Liang suddenly realized, but then he asked doubtfully, "Then Xue Rengui was rescued?"

"We found him in the depths of the underground palace, he was unconscious, and there is no other information." Li Xiao said succinctly.

"What about King Wei?"

Du Ruhui frowned slightly.

"not found."

Li Xiao shook his head, then looked at Wei Zheng again: "Master Wei, you haven't said whether the Hantie Oxhorn Bow is still in the Ministry of War."

"I've checked. Someone has indeed taken the cold iron ox horn bow. As for who it is, I'm still investigating." Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.
