Sima Lan's heart immediately sank, and deep in his heart, there was unprecedented uneasiness.

Since following Emperor Taizong back then, Sima Lan has always been responsible for the affairs of the rear because of his outstanding logistics ability, which is even more difficult than fighting the enemy on the front line and ensuring the supply of grain, grass, ordnance and other materials in the rear.

In times of turmoil, fear, and thieves, it is not easy to raise supplies in an orderly manner and supply them to the front.

Sima Lan has always had a strong ability to control, and logistics is a troublesome thing, there are countless complicated things combined, so Sima Lan can integrate many complicated things together, showing his super ability to deal with things, and everything is clearly organized in his heart.

Except for His Majesty the Emperor, Sima Lan has always controlled others in his plans.

But today, for the first time, he felt as if he was under the control of someone else.

After experiencing countless storms, Sima Lan has realized that he has fallen into an extremely severe predicament, this autumn hunt is obviously far beyond his control, he feels that a big net seems to have fallen from the sky, and he has been shrouded in a big net.

Under the grim situation, Sima Lan maintained extreme calm, and said with a slight bow: "Check, you must check." Commander Chi, the emperor was assassinated, the officials were frightened, this matter is not trivial, the old man must meet the emperor immediately. ”

He knew that at this time, he had to see Longtai, and only when he saw Longtai could he quickly grasp Longtai's psychology and perceive what Longtai wanted, and only by knowing Longtai's mind could he deal with it with all his might.

"The emperor has decreed that no one will be seen during the period of recuperation." Chi Fengdian said: "In addition, in order to protect the integrity of the old prince, the emperor has a special decree that the old prince will live here temporarily, and we will protect the safety of the prince." Without waiting for Sima Lan to speak, he had already raised his hand and said, "Guogong, please!" ”

Sima Lan put her hands behind her back, her expression was calm, she stared at Chi Fengdian's eyes and asked, "Since the emperor doesn't see the old man, the old man can only go to see the hundred officials first." They knew that the emperor had been assassinated, people's hearts were fluctuating, and they were panicked, and the old man wanted to comfort them in person. ”

"The emperor has his own will to comfort you." Chi Fengdian's expression was cold, and he did not let go of his raised arm.

Sima Lan raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "Commander Chi, what if the old man has to go?" ”

Chi Fengdian said in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

Immediately, four powerful guards came over with their hands on the hilt of their swords and stood behind Sima Lan in a fan shape.

Sima Lan glanced back, but laughed loudly: "Chi Fengdian, are you going to use force against the old man?" ”

"Old Guogong, the humble general will not dare." Chi Fengdian still looked quite respectful: "The humble general is just acting according to orders, the emperor is concerned about the old prince, and the old prince will not resist the decree, right?" ”

He was very respectful in both his movements and voice, but the meaning of his words was obviously not to let Sima Lan leave.

Sima Lan put her hands behind her back, smiled faintly, and said, "Since it is the emperor's will, the old man will obey the order." ”

After Sima Lan was put under house arrest by Chi Fengdian, Chi Fengdian went straight to the emperor's tent, and after the report, he was summoned into the tent by Longtai, who had already changed into a light outfit at this time, and when he saw Chi Fengdian coming in, he was about to get up, but his butt had just been raised, and after a pause, he still sat down and asked in a low voice: "How?" ”

Chi Fengdian stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Sima Lan ran over by himself, and the minister has imprisoned him according to the emperor's orders, and sent his henchmen to guard him, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Hearing this, Longtai frowned slightly, and said, "That's very good." Although he seemed calm, his voice still showed a hint of excitement.

There was silence in the tent, Long Tai didn't speak for a while, and Chi Fengdian didn't dare to say more, and after a while, Long Tai said, "That..... There's no news from the woods yet? ”

"No news yet." Chi Fengdian said: "Danchen has already assigned soldiers and horses to guard the surroundings of Pinglin, and will never let Chu Cangge escape." Although Chu Cangge escaped, he was poisoned after all, at this time the forest was pitch black, he hid in it, it was really difficult to search, but the minister thought that he couldn't run far now, he should have found a hidden place to heal his wounds and force poison, and after dawn, he sent more people to find it, and it was difficult for him to fly even if he had wings. ”

Long Tai nodded slightly, and said, "I didn't expect Chu Cangge to be so brave, he was poisoned, and he was shot by an arrow, and he could still escape." ”

"It's the minister's dereliction of duty, begging the emperor to condemn him!"

Long Tai waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault, and I didn't expect it." After a pause, he frowned and said: "For Chu Cangge, we can't underestimate this person, if he really surprises us and escapes from Pinglin, where do you think he will go?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean that he will return to the Black Knife Battalion?" Chi Fengdian's expression was grim.

Long Tai groaned slightly, shook his head and said, "I have already thought about it just now, Chu Cangge will never return to the Black Knife Camp. ”

"What does the emperor mean?"

"He is already a traitor, back to the Black Knife Battalion, will those soldiers under his command listen to him?" Long Tai's expression was cold: "Even if he listens to his dispatch, what can he do?" The capital blocked the city gate, it was naturally impossible for them to enter the city, did Chu Cangge dare to lead people to Pinglin? Don't forget, Sima Lan is already in our hands, if he is really worried about Sima Lan's life and death, he will not dare to act rashly, and I still hope that he will really bring troops over. ”

Chi Fengdian understood, and said: "As long as he mobilizes the Black Knife Battalion, it is a rebellion, not only is he rebelling, but the Black Knife Battalion is also rebelling, everyone knows that the Black Knife Battalion is Sima Lan's person, and the Black Knife Battalion is rebelling, and Sima Lan will not be able to defend it." ”

"If the people of the Black Knife Battalion knew that following Chu Cangge was a rebellion, would they still follow him?" Long Tai sneered: "Even if those people are really bold and all rebel against him, he only has a thousand people in his hands, and Sima Lan is in our hands, what can they do?" We already have soldiers and horses on our side, Qi Ning will arrive with the Black Scale Battalion before dawn, even if these soldiers and horses can't exterminate the Black Knife Battalion, as long as they hold on for a while, all the soldiers and horses know that the Black Knife Battalion is rebelling, and they will soon send troops to ...... King Qin! ”

"Not bad." Chi Fengdian nodded and said, "No matter how stupid Chu Cangge is, he won't choose this path." ”

Long Tai groaned slightly, and then said: "If he is smart, after he gets out, he can only remain incognito." ”

"Your Majesty, Sima Lan is already a turtle in the urn, should you execute him as soon as possible?" Chi Fengdian lowered his voice and said, "The minister is worried that the night is long and there are many dreams, and there will be another incident. ”

Long Tai hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although Sima Lan acted recklessly, he didn't really rebel after all. He was the founder of the country, and now he is the first minister, if he is easily executed, it will definitely cause chaos among the ministers and be detrimental to the situation of the court. After thinking about it for a while, he ordered: "Bring in Liu Zhen's dog minion!" ”

Chi Fengdian immediately went out of the tent, and after a while, he led the eunuch Liu Zhen in, Liu Zhiwu didn't know what was going on, and when he entered the tent, he saw Longtai staring at him coldly, feeling that the atmosphere was wrong, but he still reluctantly smiled: "Your Majesty, the slave .....!" ”

"Get on your knees!" Chi Fengdian said in a deep voice.

Liu Zhen's heart sank, his legs were weak, and he knelt down, Longtai stared at Liu Zhen, and said lightly: "Liu Zhen, do you know why I suddenly snubbed Fan Dehai, but suddenly trusted you, a minion?" ”

"The slave is loyal to the emperor, and he ......!"

"Loyal?" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Long Tai interrupted: "If you are loyal to me, why are you secretly sending someone to report to Sima Lan when you are acting in the palace?" ”

Liu Zhen suddenly changed color, kowtowed like garlic, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, slave..... Slaves are wronged, slaves are wronged.....! ”

"If you cry out again, you will insult my wisdom." Long Tai sneered: "Sima Lan bought you, don't you know it?" I have known for a long time that you are a dog slave, but I kept you because I just wanted to use you to report to Sima Lan. Didn't Sima Lan want to know what I was doing every day? Then I will let you tell him that I sing and dance with the queen in the palace every day, indulge in wine, and have no interest in court affairs, doesn't Sima Lan just want to see that I have no intention of political affairs, so he can do whatever he wants in the court? ”

Liu Zhen's whole body was lying on the ground like a toad, trembling all over.

"It's been really hard for me to act in front of you in the past few months." A chill appeared in Long Tai's eyes: "Liu Zhen, are you guilty?" ”

Liu Zhen didn't dare to raise his head, and his voice trembled: "Slave..... Slaves should die, Emperor, slaves..... Slaves are never harmless to the emperor's heart. Be..... It's the town of the country..... No, no, it was Sima Lan who said that the emperor was young and had not long ascended the throne, so he was worried..... Worried that the emperor would do something unseemly, he ..... As the first and auxiliary minister, he will do his best to assist the emperor, if he is ..... If something goes wrong with the emperor, he must remind the emperor in time to .....! ”

Long Tai sneered, Liu Ji was chilled by this sneer, and his forehead was still on the ground: "He.... He asked the minions to pay more attention to the emperor on weekdays, if ..... If the emperor did something special, what would ..... Or if you secretly summon anyone, you have to ..... Tell him in time. ”

"You're very obedient." Long Tai said: "I didn't tell those ministers about my night hunt tonight, but someone knew, Liu Zhen, you told me, why did they know?" ”

Liu Wei kowtowed again and again: "The slave knows the crime, the slave knows the crime, beg the emperor to spare his life!" ”

"Choke"!

Chi Fengdian had already pulled out his knife and said sharply: "The emperor asked, and he was honest!" ”

Liu Wei hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, you ..... You're hunting late at night, minions..... The minions were worried about insecurity, so they sent someone to report to the town..... reported to Sima Lan, but Sima Lan was resting in the tent at the time and did not dare to disturb, and the slave knew that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huangfu Zheng was very close to Sima Lan, so he ..... So let people tell Huang Fu Zheng about this, and Huang Fu Zheng must have told Sima Lan about it. ”

"That's right." Long Tai said coldly: "Liu Zhen, you leaked the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven and let me be ambushed by assassins, I should have ordered to take your head, but ..... I'll give you a chance to live, do you want it? ”
