Chapter 842: Sleepless Night
Li Tai's guard captain and others rushed into the house and saw Li Tai's relatives lying in a pool of blood, Li Tai also fell to the ground, blood oozed from his left shoulder, and the person fell to the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
The captain of the guard was frightened, and if Li Tai died, his life as the captain of the guard would not be saved. He hurriedly reached to Li Tai's nose, tried his breathing, and knowing that he was still alive, his heart suddenly relaxed.
The crowd hurried forward to rescue, some bandaged their wounds, and some kept shouting. Everyone is also very nervous, Li Tai is the prince after all, if something really happens to him, everyone can't afford this responsibility.
While everyone was busy, the captain of the guard was investigating the scene of the assassination.
After careful observation, the captain of the guard wondered where the Assassin had come from, and when he saw a window near the bed that was ajar, he stepped forward to check. He pushed open the window and looked down, wondering how the Assassin had climbed up to the ground, and that there were no tall trees near the window, and that there were no traces of flying claws on the windowsill.
Also, there was a garden below, and there were still traces of white flowers, and if the Assassin had come from the garden, his feet would have been stained with snow or mud, but there were no such traces on the windowsill or in the house, which was really unbelievable.
The captain of the guard was originally born in the rivers and lakes and had rich experience, he said in his heart: "There were originally many masters in the rivers and lakes, but the assassin was able to fly the eaves and walk on the wall without a trace, and it is still very rare for a character with such kung fu to have such kung fu." When Li Jungong encounters such a master, he can still leave his life, which is really fateful. ”
At this time, Li Tai woke up. He breathlessly snorted and said, "I'm still alive?" ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Wang, you are fine, the injury is not serious." ”
Li Tai asked with concern, "Are you all okay, no one was hurt?" ”
Many people were surprised to hear that Li Tai didn't ask about the assassin's situation, and first of all, he was concerned about the safety of everyone, because this was not Li Tai's style, and Li Tai never cared about the lives of his subordinates. But he was able to have such an attitude today, and everyone was grateful.
Li Tai suddenly saw the retinue who fell to the ground, and he asked, "What's wrong with Huang Yao?" Is he alright? ”
Someone said, "Huang Yao, he's dead." ”
Li Tai said gratefully: "Thanks to him blocking the knife for me today, otherwise my life would have been lost." Huang Yao is loyal to the Lord, and I will definitely bury him. ”
The captain of the guard ordered someone to escort Li Tai away, and he carefully examined Huang Yao's body, and then the puzzled expression on his face became more and more solemn, and slowly turned into horror. He sat down slowly in his chair and thought silently for a long time before leaving the room.
Seeing the captain of the guard come out, his men asked, "My lord, are we still chasing the assassin?" ”
The captain of the guard shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's so dark and the terrain is so complicated, the assassins have already run away, where to chase them?" Let's guard the circle to prevent the Assassins from assassinating again. ”
In the woods outside the Hibiscus Garden, there was a group of black-clothed people, led by two men and a woman, one of whom had a lot of sweat on his forehead because of the fierce fight just now, and he took off his mask. At this time, the faint moonlight shone on his face, and he was one of the two men and women who burned the planting base back then.
He said: "The task assigned by the head of the family has been completed, and the people who participated in the assassination today will leave Chang'an immediately, and do not return to Chang'an for a short time." ”
Another masked man said, "Yes, Senior Brother, I'll take them away immediately." ”
The woman said, "Senior brother, I will stay in Chang'an and deliver the news of the head of the family at any time." ”
The man in charge said, "Okay, let's leave." ”
Northwest Palace.
Li You has to sort out a scientific and technological article every night before going to bed, and today he wrote a longer article, and he was woken up by a black panther outside not long after he fell asleep in the company of Xiao Wanyu.
Li You put on his clothes and came to the middle hall, and saw Yin Guanghao coming.
As soon as Yin Guanghao saw Li You, he said depressedly: "Brother You, Li Tai really has an accident there, and he ...... the third watch."
After listening to Yin Guanghao's narration, Li You also felt a headache, he didn't know where such a group of assassins came from, they went to assassinate Li Tai after Xu Jingzong arrested people, obviously to complicate this matter.
He asked, "Is Li Tai okay?" ”
Yin Guanghao said: It seems to be injured, but there should be no major incident, otherwise, there would have been a commotion in the Hibiscus Garden. ”
Li You asked, "What about Li You's entourage named Huang Yao?" ”
Yin Guanghao shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Li Youdan said heartily: "I guess he is dead now." ”
Yin Guanghao thought about it and said, "There is such a possibility. ”
Li You asked, "There's nothing wrong with your people, right?" ”
Yin Guanghao said: "Four people died, and the bodies of two of them were obtained by Li Tai's people. However, they were unable to identify the body. ”
Li You said: "It's too sensitive now, your people pause their actions, and you yourself have to move around more and observe the movements of the ministers." ”
After Yin Guanghao left the Northwest Palace, he came directly to Gao Henian's Mansion.
Yin Guanghao's late-night visit not only woke up Gao Henian, but also alarmed Liu Feixu, and the husband and wife met Yin Guanghao together.
Yin Guanghao told what happened tonight, and told the husband and wife what Li You had confessed.
Liu Feixu said: "Please tell the prince, we will definitely find out about this matter." ”
Northwest Palace.
After Yin Guanghao left, Xiao Wanyu said worriedly: "Brother You, this matter is getting more and more complicated, Li Tai will definitely seize this opportunity to make a big fuss, I think this matter can't be allowed to develop like this, it will cause a big disaster."
You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are grounded, and many things are inconvenient, how can this be good? ”
Li You knew that what she said made sense, but he didn't want her to worry, so he smiled: "How big is it?" Don't worry, with me, the sky won't fall. ”
Xiao Wanyu has great trust in her husband, since he said that it was okay, then it would definitely be fine. She said softly: "You have slept late, and you are even more sleepless when you are troubled like this, so hurry up and rest." ”
Li You gently patted her shoulder and said softly, "You go to sleep first, I still have some things, I'll go over in a while." ”
Li You wrote a letter, and then, he called the white tiger and said to him: "You go to the palace immediately, you ...... like this"
At this time, it was already the fifth watch, and Chang'an City was quiet.
If Li Tai had encountered such a thing as assassination in the past, no matter what time he was, he would have sent someone to the palace to make noise, and Li Shimin would have come to visit Li Tai as soon as possible.
But his current identity is different, and his injuries are not serious, so he doesn't dare to wake up Li Shimin in the middle of the night. Moreover, he could not even enter the gates at night.
Li Tai has never looked forward to the dawn like today, he has a stomach of grievances to confide in Li Shimin, he really can't wait any longer, and ordered: "Prepare the car, I want to enter the city." ”
The white tiger came to the palace gate, and Cheng Su, the general of the prison guard, was Li You's confidant, and the soldiers of the guard were very polite to the people of the Northwest Palace. When the soldiers saw the white tiger, they immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Lord Bai, is there anything wrong with you coming here so late?" ”
The white tiger took out a handful of Persian silver coins and said, "Please call the prince." ”
The soldiers were not polite, took the silver coin, and sent a soldier to run in and call for someone.
Lizheng Palace.
The fifth watch was about to end, and the eldest grandson queen was woken up by her personal maid Hai'an, and after reading Li You's letter, she frowned and ordered: "Hurry up and wash and change clothes." ”
The palace ladies immediately got busy.
The gate of Chang'an City opened on time at 5 o'clock every morning, and Li Tai and his party, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly entered the city.
The gate of the palace opens at half past five every morning, and Li Tai appears in front of the gate of the palace on time. The captain of Li Tai's guard handed over Li Tai's recital to the prison guards and told him about the circumstances of Li Tai's assassination.
Due to the special situation, the guards handed over the chapter to the eunuch in the palace for Li Tai, and the eunuch handed it over to Wang De, Wang De did not immediately hand it over to Li Shimin, and looked anxiously in the direction of the harem.
Half an hour later, Li Tai finally met Li Shimin.
"Father, you have to call the shots for your sons." Li Tai wrapped a jumping belt around his shoulders, knelt on the ground and cried.
