Luoyang, with the end of the war, under the governance of Zeng Guofan, a famous Manchu minister in later generations, Luoyang City also began to gradually come to life. There are people coming and going on the streets, and there are some small merchants and hawkers shouting loudly, adding a bit of excitement to Luoyang, the thousand-year-old capital.

In the midst of this, an old man with a somewhat rickety figure kept his head down and did not look at either side, driving a donkey cart slowly through the downtown area, into a small alley, and then turning around and changing four or five roads, and then stopped in front of a black gate.

The old man stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door opened a crack, and a young man poked his head out to look at the old man, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The old man still lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm looking for Shopkeeper Fan." ”

"Please come with me!"

The young man nodded immediately, opened the door and let the old man in, led him straight into the inner courtyard, pointed to a room with closed doors and windows, and said, "Shopkeeper Fan is waiting for you inside!" ”

"Got it, you go ahead and stare outside!"

The old man waved his hand, and the young man immediately arched his hand and turned to leave. The old man waited until the young man was far away, and then he walked to the door and pushed it in.

There was a tall and thin man sitting in the room, this person was the owner of this place, Fan Jun, on the surface he was the shopkeeper of a newly opened restaurant in Luoyang, but in fact he was the intelligence head installed by Li Shimin in Luoyang.

When Fan Jun saw the old man coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Subordinate Fan Jun see Lord Wang!" ”

After the old man heard Fan Jun's words, he slowly raised his head, and his originally rickety body became extremely straight at this moment. Then the faint light in the room made it possible to see the appearance of the old man vaguely. His beard was white, his body was thin, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded a chilling murderous aura all over his body.

This person is Wang Yue, the swordsman of the Three Kingdoms who was born in the previous system, implanted as a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and was recruited into the mansion by Li Shimin not long ago, and his trip was to carry out the first task given to him by Li Shimin - to get rid of the eldest grandson of the princess of Qin who was captured by the Sui army!

Wang Yue walked slowly to the window, turned his back to Fan Jun and asked, "Have you found out the address of the princess?" ”

Fan Jun whispered: "The princess currently lives in the Xinhua Fang area in the imperial city, but we don't know the specific location!" ”

"Bastard!"

Wang Yue couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Fan Jun angrily: "I've asked you to inquire about the news for so long, and you haven't even figured out the specific location, what are you all doing to eat, what is the use of His Royal Highness King Qin raising you?" ”

Fan Jun hurriedly defended: "Lord Wang, it's not that the villains don't do their best, it's really for a reason. At the beginning, because of the incident of the eldest grandson Wuji, the Sui army almost completely destroyed our intelligence network, and only a few insignificant little people in the imperial city were spared, as for the palace city, there is not a single person left, and the news of the princess Niangniang in Xinhua Fang was only found out from the mouth of an imperial city patrol army after spending a hundred taels of gold. ”

After listening to Fan Jun's defense, Wang Yue's face looked a little better, he knocked heavily on the table, and said coldly: "No matter what method you use, you must find out the specific residence of the princess within three days." ”

"Three days?"

Fan Jun's face suddenly turned embarrassed when he heard this, "My lord, the villain has already told you all about the situation of the Luoyang Intelligence Network, and it is difficult to find out the news inside the imperial city, is it too tight for three days?" ”

"If there is a difficulty, solve it, do you think the position of the intelligence leader of Luoyang City is so easy to sit in?"

Wang Yue smiled coldly, stared at Fan Jun and said word by word: "His Royal Highness King Qin never raises useless people!" ”

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

Wang Yue's sudden murderous aura shocked Fan Jun's heart, and he nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice: "The lowly position understands, the lowly position will gather people, and the lowly position will definitely find out the specific residence of the princess within three days." ”

"That's good!"

Wang Yue slowly withdrew his murderous aura, waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and do it, find me another room, I have to take a good rest in the past two days to recuperate, and then come and inform me when you find the whereabouts of the princess, otherwise don't come to disturb me!" ”

"Yes!"

Fan Junru was amnestied, hurriedly surrendered his hand and withdrew from the door, on the one hand, he ordered to summon all the intelligence directors lurking in Luoyang, and on the other hand, he ordered his subordinates to prepare a clean upper room for Wang Yue to rest.

。。。。。。。。。。

At night, Wang Yue, who had been meditating in the room for almost a whole day, opened his eyes, slowly walked off the bed, and walked to the window.

It was Fan Jun's room, and it seemed that he was probably discussing with his subordinates how to get news from the Imperial City.

The corners of Wang Yue's mouth raised slightly, and he didn't intend to participate in it. As he said before, if they can't even do such a trivial thing, then Li Shimin's vision is really too bad.

Wang Yue inadvertently suddenly remembered Li Shimin, that resolute, confident, and wise young man. He Wang Yue has lived for more than 50 years, and it is the first time he has seen such an excellent person, and his gestures reveal the temperament of a superior, and his every move is so mature and steady. Even Emperor Wen Yang Jian seemed to lose to him in dealing with people.

However, this time Wang Yue felt that Li Shimin was a little too impatient. The news that Li Yi came back from the investigation was just that Yang Gao had visited the eldest grandson Wujian several times, and the authenticity of the news didn't seem to have been confirmed, so he couldn't wait to send himself to get rid of the eldest grandson Wujian, couldn't he just confirm the news before making a move? Maybe it's just a rumor?

Maybe men can't tolerate their wives being possessed by enemies, but Wang Yue doesn't believe that Li Shimin is a person who is so easily carried away by feelings.

Looking at the night in front of him, Wang Yue seemed to vaguely guess the reason why Li Shimin was so eager to eradicate his wife.

Not wanting his beloved wife to be possessed by others is only one of the reasons, and more importantly, Li Shimin does not allow his reputation to be stained and damaged, which will inevitably affect the inheritance of the throne.

Like the crown prince Li Jiancheng, a very important reason why his position was unstable and repeatedly challenged by Li Shimin was that he was captured by the Sui army, which dealt a very heavy blow to his prestige in the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Yue couldn't help but sigh: Power is really a terrible poison, even if it is a relationship of more than ten years, as long as it affects power, it can be abandoned in a blink of an eye.

Maybe this is the so-called hero!
