Chapter 115: Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tiger Fight
In the middle of the night, the lights of the watchtowers in the Queen City had gradually been extinguished, and all the rest of the people fell asleep, except for a few guards who patrolled and stood guard.
On the street near the Queen's Tower, five black shadows evaded the patrolling soldiers, quietly approached the three-story building where the Tang State Mission lived, and tapped lightly at the back door.
"Squeaky ......"
The back door slowly opened, and five men in black armed with scimitars quietly walked in.
"What room does that person live in?"
"The easternmost one on the second floor."
The man who opened the door stretched out his hand and slowly closed the back door again.
"Let's go."
The man in black who led the way quickly ran to the second floor on the east side, and the four subordinates followed closely.
The easternmost room on the second floor is the one where Ang Lee lives, which means that the five men in black are here to assassinate Ang Lee.
"Crunch ......"
The leader of the man in black opened the door with a dagger and walked in lightly, followed closely by four subordinates.
"......"
The five of them rushed up and stabbed the bulging quilt with the scimitar in their hands.
"Oops, I'm in the middle of the trick."
At the moment when the scimitar stabbed down, the five men in black all noticed the abnormality, and the feeling of the knife entering the flesh was the most familiar to them, and at this moment, their scimitar obviously did not pierce the flesh.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come so late?"
Ang Lee lit a candle and walked in from the next room with Li Fei Shouyu.
The five men in black were all shocked when they suddenly saw Li An coming, and Li An had been waiting for them, which shocked them even more.
"Kill him."
The black-clothed man in the lead shouted, raised his scimitar and killed Li An.
"Put."
Li An opened his mouth to order, and suddenly a large net fell from the sky, enveloping all five black-clothed people, and at the same time, six Tang Army soldiers immediately pounced, completely controlled the five black-clothed people, and tied them up.
"Say it! Who sent you? ”
Li An smiled faintly, and his tone was as if he was talking to someone.
"Humph......"
The five black-clothed men all had their nostrils facing the sky, looking like dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water.
Li An was not angry, and said softly: "Lock them all up first, and hand them over to King Guichang early tomorrow morning." ”
"Captain Li, this is the person who opened the door for the assassins."
Two soldiers of the Dragon Martial Army grabbed the inner response that opened the door and escorted it to Li An.
Li An smiled indifferently: "Lock him up with five assassins." ”
Since living in this three-story building, Li An has noticed that something is wrong, there is no big problem with the house, but the people sent to serve them are all strong people, which are obviously pretended to be soldiers, Li An closely monitored them, and sure enough, there was a discovery.
"It's okay, the remaining dozen or so people, I'm afraid there are also problems."
Li Fei Shouyu cautioned.
Li An nodded lightly and ordered: "Come on, arrest all the Dongnu people in the courtyard." ”
"Obey."
Li An looked up at Haoyue in the sky, and began to ponder in his heart, this has just entered the East Woman Country, and so many things have happened.
Zhao Wufu's hostility, the breaking of the military flag, the temptation of the fire-spitting performance, the assassin's actions, and the hot Zhao Mengjie, as well as several foreign ministers who couldn't judge the depth.
The situation in Dongnu Kingdom seems to be more complicated than Ang Lee imagined, and next, he will inevitably face a great challenge, and he must adjust his mind to meet this challenge.

In the dim study, the middle-aged man drank tea with a calm face, and at this time the sky was just bright, and he got up relatively early.
Over the years, he has developed the habit of waking up early, and although he is a noble person, there is no need to get up so early.
"My old friend, you seem to like to be in the study!"
Tubo Da Wu Guo walked into the study lightly and sat next to the middle-aged man.
"I laughed, I could smell the aroma of books in the room when I stayed in the study, so it was easier to calm down, and I have been used to it for so many years."
Wu Yan Guo grinned and said softly: "Reading can increase people's knowledge, especially history books, but I have only been in Tibet for a hundred years, so I can only read the history books of the Tang Dynasty and learn a lot from them." ”
"Oh, Da Tan also read the history books of the Tang Dynasty?"
Wu Yanfang Guo's expression was excited: "The Tang Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, since the establishment of the Chinese tribe by the Yan and Huang Emperors, it has a history of thousands of years, there are too many places worth learning from, we must learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"What the big argument says is that only by learning the history of the Tang Dynasty can we better deal with the Tang Dynasty."
"Hahaha!"
Wu Yan Guo and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, and then laughed together.
"Master."
Hamigo slowly walked into the study and looked at the two of them talking and laughing.
"Hamigo, how are things going? Is Ang Lee dead? ”
The middle-aged man looked at Hamiguo with a relaxed expression, and in his words, he wished that Li An would die immediately.
Hamigo lowered his head and said worriedly: "Master, it seems that something has gone wrong, since last night, there has been no major movement in the city. ”
The middle-aged man and Wu Yan Guo glanced at each other, and there was a trace of disappointment in their eyes, they both understood that if Li An was really assassinated in the middle of the night, the Tang State Mission would definitely make a big noise in the middle of the night, and now, there was no movement all night, which seemed to indicate that Li An was not attacked.
Wu Yan Guo looked at Hamiguo and said softly: "Hamiguo, it seems that your plan to kill people with a knife has not worked!" You're smart, but others aren't stupid, and it's not so easy to fall for you. ”
Hamigo hurriedly explained: "Anyway, my people saw five black-clothed men enter the courtyard where the Tang Kingdom mission lived last night, but I don't know why there was no movement all night. ”
"What, the five men in black have already entered the courtyard, but there is no movement, could it be that the Tang Kingdom delegation has been killed by the five of them?"
As soon as Guo put forward such a hypothesis, the middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Theory, this is absolutely impossible, there are more than 100 Tang people living in that courtyard, and most of them are elite soldiers, how can they be killed by five assassins, besides, if Li An is really so easy to deal with, we will not lose so many warriors, if my guess is right, these five assassins should have been captured by Li An." ”
"Master, even if they are captured, at least there should be a fight inside, but isn't it strange that my men are very close and do not hear the slightest sound of weapons clashing."
Hamigo frowned deeply.
The middle-aged man stroked his chin and beard, looked at the vultures beside him, and said softly: "This is the strength of Li An, perhaps, he already knew that there would be a sneak attack by assassins, so he laid a net in advance to wait for the arrival of assassins." ”
Wu Zheng Guo frowned and nodded, deeply convinced by the middle-aged man's words.
"In this way, this Ang Li is really difficult to deal with! We need to get rid of him, I'm afraid it won't be easy. ”
"Don't worry too much, these assassins have nothing to do with us, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, and understand Ang Lee's methods, isn't it also good?"
The middle-aged man's meaning is very clear, they borrowed a knife to kill people, although they failed to get rid of Li An, but after Li An caught the assassin, he would definitely not give up, and he would definitely find a way to find out the instigator behind the assassin, so that Li An and the assassin's master would inevitably have a struggle, and whether Li An was defeated or the assassin's master was defeated, it was a great good thing for the two of them.
"It's a good idea to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
Wu Yan Guo and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Bin, something happened."
Early in the morning, as soon as Zhao Yufu got up, he saw a maid rushing in.
"What's wrong? Take your time. ”
"Bin, there were five assassins last night, who went to assassinate Captain Li of the Tang Army."
Zhao Yufu was shocked, and asked nervously: "How is Captain Li, is he injured?" ”
"Bin, Captain Li is safe and sound, and all five assassins have been captured by him, and they are now being held outside the palace."
When Zhao Yufu heard this, he was greatly relieved, Li An was fine, and she was relieved.
"Captain Li is fine."
Zhao Yufu said, striding towards the outside of the palace.
In a large open space outside the palace, more than a dozen Tang soldiers tied up the five assassins, as well as those who colluded with the assassins, and made them squat on the ground honestly.
Xi Yu, the secretary of the Tang Rite Department, Li An, the captain of the Right Longwu Military Academy, and others all stood at the gate of the palace, ready to report this matter to Zhao Yufu.
The Tang State Mission was attacked by assassins in the Dongnu King City, which was a very serious diplomatic incident, but Li An and Xi Yu did not mean to blame Zhao Yufu, they did this just to express their indignation, and let all the people of the Queen City see that their Tang Kingdom Mission had just entered the Queen City and encountered the assassins, which had the meaning of winning sympathy, and at the same time, they had to find out who sent the assassins to carry out the assassination.
"Captain Li, I heard that you were attacked by assassins last night, and you were not injured!"
As soon as Zhao Yufu appeared, he was extremely concerned about Li An and completely ignored Xi Yu's existence.
"King Xie Guichang cares, and his humble duties are unscathed, these assassins have all arrested me, and I have been specially escorted to King Guichang for disposal."
Ang Lee stretched out his hand and looked at the several assassins who were tied up.
Seeing several assassins dressed in black, Zhao Yufu lowered his head to avoid himself, and strode over: "Who are you, why did you assassinate Captain Li, and who instructed you." ”
The five Assassins and their accomplices bowed their heads and remained silent, not even daring to look King Guichang in the eye.
"Let me ask you again, who instructed you to assassinate Captain Li."
Seeing that they didn't speak, Zhao Yufu was furious and asked again.
The man in black in the leader knelt on his knees: "Bin, we have committed a capital crime, just kill us, and we will not say anything if we die." ”
"You're bold."
Zhao Yufu was even more angry.
"Bin, don't force them, I know who they are."
Zhao Mengjie, who was hot, walked over slowly and winked at Li An. (To be continued.) )
