What happened to you today is all due to Pei Yan, you hate him very much, right? Lu Xiaoxian was quite sympathetic to Li Xian.

Li Xian said lightly: "I can't say whether I hate it or not, after all, this is his choice!" If it were someone else, you might think the same way. ”

At that time, except for Pei Yan, no one else dared to put forward the suggestion of "Empress Dowager Xuan's order to be implemented under the door". Wu Zetian took advantage of Pei Yan's suggestion to logically obtain the right to dispose of state affairs.

Pei Yan thought very simply, he thought that this was only nominal power, although Wu Zetian was capable, but after all, he was just a "female streamer", and it was easy for him, a heavy minister, to suppress him, even if he didn't make it, he could put forward the proposal of returning to the emperor in the future.

"It's just ......" Li Xian shook his head slightly, "Pei Yan still underestimated his mother's means and courage!" ”

Pei Yan did not hesitate to violate the Tang Dynasty and the last orders of the emperor, so that all government affairs must be promulgated and implemented by the empress dowager's decree, which was actually selfish, and he wanted to use Wu Zetian, a "female streamer", to establish his authority in the court.

Pei Yan, the prime minister of the current dynasty who made great "contributions", was made a marquis by Wu Zetian, but he was full of experience and self-esteem, and he would never have thought that he would be used by Wu Zetian, a "female streamer", and finally lost "Qingqing's life".

Pei Yan is just a stepping stone for Wu Zetian, once this stepping stone completes the "historical mission", or loses its use value, the result can be imagined.

"The world is unpredictable!" Lu Xiaoxian sighed with emotion, "It's still the county king who is prescient!" ”

"Master Lu, I don't know something, can you help me solve my doubts!" Li Xian asked curiously, "My thoughts have never been revealed to anyone, how did you guess it?" ”

"The king of the county is surprised, I don't guess, but there is a basis!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled: "Do you remember the words you wrote to King Liang at the banquet yesterday?" ”

"Of course I remember, it was Sima Yi's "A Shi Sick Bad Post"!" Li Xian was quite puzzled, "What's the problem?" ”

Before Lu Xiaoxian could speak, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the house, "There are assassins." Then there was the sound of a fierce fight, mixed with the sound of weapons colliding, and the courtyard suddenly became noisy.

Lu Xiaoxian reacted quickly and immediately blew out the lights, and the room fell into darkness.

He pulled Li Xian to hide in the corner of the house, and whispered: "Don't panic, the county king, the entire palace is under strict protection, you can rest assured!" ”

Li Xian said indifferently: "With Lu Gongzi here, of course I can rest assured!" ”

There was nothing unusual about his voice, not like he was trying to calm down. In such an urgent situation, it is indeed not easy for Li Xianneng to have such a performance.

Lu Xiaoxian listened to the movement outside the house, and after about a pillar of incense, the sound of the fight disappeared, and the light of the torches could be vaguely seen reflected on the windows.

There was a knock on the door, followed by a sound, "Father, the assassin has been ambushed, and he is safe!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian listened to it sincerely, this is Li Chongjun's voice.

He breathed a sigh of relief and lit the lamp again.

After Li Xian sat down, he commanded towards the door: "Jun'er, come in!" ”

Li Chongjun pushed the door into the house, glanced at Lu Xiaoxian and didn't make a sound, just stood respectfully in front of Li Xian.

"What just happened outside?" Li Xian asked in a deep voice.

"There are several groups of people who sneaked into the mansion to be found out about misdeeds, and Uncle Pei and I have already dealt with it!" Lee's answer was brief.

Li Xian nodded: "Report this matter to the Assassin Mansion, let them do the aftermath, you go down!" ”

"Yes!" Li Chongjun answered, and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Lu Xiaoxian suddenly ask, "Wait!" ”

Li Chongjun looked at Lu Xiaoxian puzzled.

Lu Xiaoxian frowned and said, "King Yixing County, you just said that there are several groups of people sneaking into the palace?" What's going on? ”

"At first, we only found one group of people, and then we found two other groups of people!"

"Are you sure they're not in the same group?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

"Probably not!" Li Chongjun pondered, "They appeared almost at the same time with their front and back feet, and they were fighting with each other, so they shouldn't be in a gang!" ”

"Can you take me to the scene?" Lu Xiaoxian stood up.

Li Chongjun did not answer, but looked at Li Xian.

"Lu Gongzi is his own family, take him with him!" Li Xian waved his hand.

Lu Xiaoxian and Li Chongjun walked out of the room, Li Xian habitually knocked on the table with his index finger, he carefully sorted out the conversation with Lu Xiaoxian just now, and fell into contemplation.

Over the years, almost no one has seen through Li Xian's strategy of retreating to advance Taoguang and cultivate obscurity, and even Wu Zetian thinks that Li Xian is very cowardly. Unexpectedly, his mind was broken by Lu Xiaoxian's words today, and he really couldn't understand how Lu Xiaoxian saw through it.

In terms of thoughtfulness and ability to observe words and colors, Li Xian has to admit that Lu Xiaoxian is superior, which is not comparable to an old fritter in officialdom like Wu Sansi. Such young talents, if they can be used for themselves, will definitely help in the future.

If it weren't for the marriage of the Wu family, Li Xian really wanted to marry Li Bao'er to Lu Xiaoxian, so as to entrap him to serve him. It would be a pity to let such talents miss out. In any case, tonight's conversation was still very fruitful, and Li Xian could basically judge whether Lu Xiaoxian was a friend or an enemy.

Just when Li Xian was full of thoughts, Lu Xiaoxian pushed the door and entered the house.

"How? Is there a catch? Li Xian quickly retracted his thoughts and asked casually.

"That's right, it's three groups of people!" Lu Xiaoxian sat down opposite Li Xian, the expression on his face was very strange, "What the King of Yixing County said is right, there are indeed three groups of people. I already know what the origin of the two batches is, but this third batch is really strange! ”

"Oh?" Li Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's hear it!" ”

"The two corpses in the courtyard are the two protectors of Oolong Village, I have seen them! Their purpose is very simple, they are here to seek revenge from the king of Yixing County! ”

"Oolong Village?" Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned.

As the county king of the royal family, Li Xian knew very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Lu Xiaoxian introduced and explained to him in detail the situation of the seven major sects of the rivers and lakes, and also the process of Li Chongjun's grudge with Wulong Village.

At the end, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "King Yixing is a peerless swordsman, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes is not small!" With such a master by his side, the king of the county can sit back and relax! ”

"He's not the king of Yixing County, you just call him Chongjun!" Li Xian said expressionlessly.

The king of Yixing County was given the title of Li Chongjun by Gaozong when Li Xian was the crown prince. Later, before Li Xian ascended the throne and had time to re-knight his sons, he was pulled down the throne by Wu Zetian and demoted to the king of Luling County, and Li Chongjun's title of King of Yixing County was naturally deprived. Now that Li Xian himself is just a county king, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to call Li Chongjun's previous title.

Lu Xiaoxian knew Li Xian's thoughts, and even changed his words: "Chongjun's experience of walking the rivers and lakes, can the county king know before?" ”

"I know a little, but I've never interfered!" Li Xian said bluntly, "Jun'er has a different personality from Fu'er and Run'er, he doesn't like to be restrained, and walking the rivers and lakes can be regarded as an experience." I usually hand over things like this to him, and he handles it very well! ”

"The martial arts of these two Dharma protectors in Wulongzhai are indeed amazing, under the siege of Chongjun, Uncle Pei and the masters sent by Liang Wangfu, they have actually lasted so long!"

Li Xian said: "So what, it's not an ambush in the end!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head: "The problem is here, these two people did not die under the siege of Chongjun and others, but someone secretly plotted against them!" ”

"Someone's plotting?" Li Xian didn't know what he meant.

"They were killed by a second group of people hiding in the shadows with hidden weapons!" Lu Xiaoxian said bluntly, "If I guess correctly, this second group of people is also my old acquaintance!" ”

Li Xian was even more puzzled, and Lu Xiaoxian did not hide it, and recounted in detail the confrontation between himself and Mr. Wang from Panzhou, Taozhou to Yingzhou.

"Their whereabouts are secretive, they are powerful, and their motives are unknown, so they are really difficult to deal with. According to what they are doing today, they must have bad intentions, and the king of the county must be on guard! Lu Xiaoxian kindly reminded.

Of course, there is a deeper concern, and Lu Xiaoxian did not mention: What is the entanglement between Mr. Wang and the people behind the scenes and Li Xian?

"I remember what you said! I'll let Jun'er pay more attention to this! Li Xian didn't seem to care about what Lu Xiaoxian said, "They are in the dark, we are in the light, and now we must have more than enough heart but not enough strength." When the opportunity is ripe in the future, I will uproot them! ”

The meaning of Li Xian's words is very clear, in the future, he will ascend the throne as the emperor and grasp the power, and he can eradicate all these behind-the-scenes forces in one fell swoop through thunderous means.

Lu Xiaoxian stopped talking, lowered his head and thought about another question: what is the origin of this third group of people.

Listening to Li Chongjun's narration just now, when he arrived at the scene to inspect the other party's hiding place, Lu Xiaoxian concluded that the so-called third group was actually only one person. This person has been hiding in the shadows, and he has not appeared when the two Dharma protectors and the second group of people in Wulong Village have made a move. If Pei Yue hadn't accidentally discovered him, no one would have known about his existence at all.

Pei Yue is a master among the masters, this person was stabbed in the shoulder by Pei Yue's long sword during the confrontation, and the other party quickly fled when he saw that the situation was not good.

Being injured and being able to calmly escape under Uncle Pei's nose is definitely not a simple character.

Could it be someone sent by Wu Chenghe?

Not like!

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Lu Xiaoxian's mind, as if he had grasped something, but it disappeared in an instant, which made him very confused.

Overnight, three different forces infiltrated the Luling Palace, which made the matter extremely complicated, and Lu Xiaoxian smelled an unusual smell from it.

Li Xian didn't care at all about what Lu Xiaoxian was thinking about, and seeing Lu Xiaoxian bowing his head and saying nothing, he suddenly remembered the topic before Lu Xiaoxian left the room.
