Chapter 470: Darkness to Darkness

Another few days passed, and nothing happened.

After Guo Song returned to Beijing, Li Man also restrained a little, she was quietly waiting for Guo Song to break out, enter the Taiji Palace, and burn the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, in the past few days, Guo Song has not moved at all, of course, this is related to Guo Ziyi's death, Guo Song is guarding Guo Ziyi's spirit, I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of the Hidden Sword Pavilion for the time being.

But this is not what Li Man wants, she wants Guo Song to be angry and burn down the Taiji Palace, it seems that it is not enough to stimulate the other party.

In the back hall of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Ying Caihe reported the latest situation to Li Man.

"These days, I have been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Yang Yu's woman, and I have also sent people to watch at various pharmacies and medical centers, as long as someone buys fetal medicine, we have tracked and checked more than 40 people, all of whom are local pregnant women in Chang'an, she is like disappearing out of thin air, and she suspects that she is indeed not in the capital."

"The hundreds of Taoist priests in Qingxu Palace left Chang'an, and she didn't hide in it?" Li Man asked coldly.

"There is definitely no Taoist priest, but I am not sure if she is hiding in the cart, I am really not sure."

After a pause, Ying Caihe said cautiously: "The key is that no one has ever seen this woman, everyone doesn't know what she looks like, and even the people over there in Ziqingtang haven't seen it, the only clue is that she is pregnant, Pavilion Master, to be honest, to find someone who has never seen anyone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, it is completely a matter of luck." ”

After saying that, Ying Caihe waited in fear for the pavilion master's thunderous attack.

Unexpectedly, Li Man waved his hand, "It's normal to not be able to find her for a while, as long as everyone does their best, I won't blame, this woman has to continue to look for her, and she can't slack off, now I want to know, how is Zhang Lei's situation?" ”

"Qiyu Pavilion Master, Zhang Lei has not returned to the capital yet, and we have also bought the maid in their house before, so we can be sure that the woman is not looking for Zhang Lei."

"Are Zhang Lei's wife and daughter in the capital?"

"It doesn't seem to be there."

Li Man's face sank, "What's the matter, when did they leave, why don't I know?" ”

"Pavilion Master, they left with the Taoist priest of Qingxu Palace, and the Pavilion Master didn't say that he wanted to monitor them, so ......."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Man slapped her to the ground and glared at her angrily: "You useless idiot, who asked you to let them go, Li Ganfeng ran away, Zhang Lei and his family also ran away, you ruined my big deal!" ”

At this moment, Ying Caihe suddenly understood that the person the pavilion master really wanted to deal with was probably Guo Song, she had already felt it a little, and now she finally confirmed her guess.

Li Man also found that she was a little out of shape, she restrained her expression, and said coldly: "The Son of Heaven has always suspected that Guo Song and Li Zhengji are secretly in contact, so I suspect that Yang Yu has Li Zhengji's letters to Guo Song in his hands, and I guess these letters are in the hands of that woman, I want these letters, not that woman, do you understand?" ”

Li Man's words are obviously loopholes, you must know that Li Zhengji was assassinated by Yang Yu, Guo Songzhen and Li Zhengji have secret dealings, Yang Yu will assassinate Li Zhengji? Besides, even if there was a letter, Yang Yu would have destroyed it a long time ago, how could it be possible for a pregnant woman to hold such an important thing.

This is called wanting to cover up, but it made Ying Caihe confirm Li Man's true intentions, and she stood up without saying a word.

Li Man took a few steps and said, "Tonight, you sent someone to burn down the Treasure Pavilion!" ”

Ying Caihe was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "That will cause a catastrophe, and it will be difficult to burn down the entire East Market." ”

Li Man stared at her fiercely, "Do you want me to say it a second time?" ”

Ying Caihe didn't dare to say more, lowered his head and said, "Obey the order!" ”

.........

At night, Guo Song sat on the roof of the Treasure Pavilion and poured himself a drink, with his bow and arrows beside him, since Li Man burned the Golden Body Pavilion, the next step should be the Meishou Wine Shop and the Treasure Pavilion, the wine of the Meishou Wine Shop is stored in the cellar, and the house is not burned to the impact, but the Treasure Pavilion is different, and his intuition tells Guo Song that Li Man will definitely attack His Excellency Jubao in the past two days to provoke himself.

At this time, a light suddenly flashed at the gate of the East Market, and the signal came.

Guo Song threw away the wine glass, carried the quiver behind him, and picked up the bow and arrow, he rarely shot arrows himself, but at this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first came to Chang'an.

I saw dozens of black-clothed people rushing towards the Treasure Pavilion from all directions, Guo Song drew an arrow, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow was shot, and a black-clothed man fell down in response.

Guo Song shot seven or eight arrows in a row, and one person was shot down in each arrow, only in an instant, more than 30 people in black were shot down, and the remaining few people in black were so frightened that they ran away, but they didn't run far, and they all fell under the arrows.

Although Guo Song's personal soldiers have average close-quarters martial arts, they are all good at riding and archery, and these warriors can only be slaughtered in long-distance combat.

Guo Song took out a fire fold and shook it in the wind, and the pro-soldiers hidden around retreated, and Guo Song quickly left the Treasure Pavilion.

Half an hour later, Jingzhao Yin Li Tong rushed to Dongshi with a large number of officials, he had just received a report that someone was going to set fire to Dongshi, so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly led the officials to Dongshi.

"Envoy, these men in black are all dead, they are all dead under the arrow!" The officials exclaimed.

The officials brought together thirty-five corpses, each of whom had been killed by arrows, and found a large number of arsonists, as well as sulfur, fire oil, and other combustible materials.

At this time, a servant handed a bunch of bronze medals to Li Tong and said in a low voice: "Envoy, they are all from the Hidden Sword Pavilion. ”

"Bastard!"

Li Tong's face turned blue with anger, and he couldn't help but scold.

Scolding and scolding, he still ordered the officials to take the corpses away, and they were not allowed to publicize it to the public, he didn't know what happened, but he had to report this matter to the Son of Heaven.

.........

Early the next morning, Li Man was called into the palace by two eunuchs, she knew what was going on, and the men who went to set fire last night did not come back, and their whereabouts were unknown.

She was quite worried in her heart, this incident actually alarmed the Son of Heaven, could it be that Guo Song sued in front of the Son of Heaven?

Today is the middle of the day, Li Shi did not go to the court, and in the morning, Jingzhao Yin Li Tong came to complain to him, which made Li Shi very annoyed.

Li Man walked into the Qilin Palace, bowed and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shi pointed to a pile of bronze medals on the table and asked, "Is this something under your hands?" ”

Li Man glanced at the bronze medal, and secretly hated in his heart, he should take and carry out the task, why didn't he take off the brand in advance?

She couldn't deny it, so she had to admit it stubbornly, "It's the waist card of the lowly hand!" ”

"Then you explain to me, what did they do in East City last night?"

Li Man had already thought of a countermeasure on the road, she didn't dare to mention Guo Song, and hurriedly said: "The lowly post got the news last night, the East City found the spies of the Ziqing Army, and the lowly immediately sent someone to arrest it, but it was a trap, and the lowly subordinates were surrounded by the other party, outnumbered, and unfortunately died." ”

"Then why do you bring all sorts of fire-starting things?"

"Your Majesty, these are all equipment that the warriors of the Hidden Sword Pavilion must bring, sometimes the enemy is stubbornly resistant, we can only set fire, there is no way, the casualties of the attack are too great."

Li Man's words made sense, and Li Shi also knew that there were a large number of spies in Chang'an, and the Hidden Sword Pavilion had been competing with them, and this was a war hidden behind it.

Li Shi's face softened slightly, and said to Li Man: "The corpses of your men are all in Jingzhao Mansion, you go and take them away, Chang'an City is not allowed to use fire in the future, if it burns last night, the entire East City will be destroyed, you can't deal with it, you can apply for army support." ”

"Your Majesty's admonition, humble, remember!"

"Go ahead!"

Li Man saluted, slowly retreated, and walked out of the Qilin Palace, she broke out in a cold sweat on her back, fortunately she was quick and wise, and used other feudal towns to prevaricate, otherwise there would be a big trouble today, she couldn't explain it at all, Li Man realized that she was a little scared.
