"Mother, there's news."

It was getting late, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the open window into the spacious imperial study, dyeing half of the cheeks of the Empress Wu with a layer of gold, beautiful and beautiful, with a kind of noble and elegant bearing, which made Cheng Denggao, the eunuch who had just come out of the wall, couldn't help but be in a trance, but he didn't dare to be rude, he lowered his head busily, walked quickly to the copywriter, and lowered his eyebrows and reported a sentence.

"Well, let's talk about it."

Empress Wu didn't raise his head, still buried his head in the official document, the Zhu pen in his hand was quick and simple, and he just spit out a bland sentence from Zhu's lips.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, according to the report, the king of Yue, the prince of Langya, led people to Orange Street early this morning, and returned to the palace after noon, and then the Yue Wangfu passed down the order, and searched the whole city of Jingzhao Mansion, saying that he was looking for a very son'cloth clothes god', and now the city is already in turmoil."

After the martial arts had an order, Cheng Denggao didn't dare not answer, so he hurriedly sorted out his thoughts and reported the news he got one by one in one go.

"Huh? What is the 'cloth god'? What's going on? ”

As soon as he heard Cheng Denggao's words, Empress Wu's brows immediately furrowed, and she casually put the zhu pen aside, raised her head, and asked suspiciously.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the old slave has already sent someone to check, and has not yet received the letter, but I heard that this person is a Taoist priest from other places, surnamed Li, named Buyi, self-named 'cloth cloth god face', quite capable in face divination, and has a small reputation on Orange Street, and the rest of the roots need to be investigated in detail."

The news that the Yue Wangfu ordered a search of the whole city had actually reached Cheng Deng's heights more than half an hour ago, but the reason for it was not clear at that time, and Cheng Deng Plateau didn't pay much attention to it, but casually ordered the next person to wait for another investigation, and when he knew that the person who Yue Wangfu wanted to search for was a famous physiognomy master, he felt that there might be something strange in it, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"Well, the palace knows, and the people under the head will keep an eye on the Yue Wangfu, and report the news immediately, go."

Empress Wu quietly listened to Cheng Denggao's report, and did not say anything special, waved his hand, and commanded in a flat voice.

"No, the old slave will do it!"

Cheng Denggao was originally worried that under the careful questioning of Empress Wu, he would expose his fault for delaying the reporting of the news, but when he saw that Empress Wu did not ask any further, his heartstrings were slightly loosened, and he did not dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly responded to the promise, hurriedly withdrew from the imperial study, and went to Zhang Luo and did not mention related matters.

"'Cloth Look'? What's that messing around? ”

As soon as Cheng Denggao left, Empress Wu couldn't sit still, stood up, paced back and forth in the study, thinking carefully about the strangeness of this, but he couldn't see through the mystery behind this move, but he faintly felt that this matter was very disadvantageous, and his mood couldn't help but be confused, and his originally stable breath was also disordered......

At the end of the unitary time, the sky was completely dark, and the time for dinner had already passed, but Li Zhen had no appetite, and sat on the top with a gloomy face, without saying a word, like a mud bodhisattva, all over his body was full of anger, and the sons and henchmen who were making trouble did not dare to move a little, so they could only accompany them to the end hungry, and the atmosphere in the study was not much better, and it was so depressed that people felt very breathless.

"Father, everything has been arranged!"

In the unbearable dead silence, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded, but I saw Li Chong, who was sweating and heavily dressed, rushing in from outside like a whirlwind, and in a few big steps, he had already arrived in front of the first copywriter, bowed cleanly and made a big salute, and said in a loud voice.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Hearing the sound, Li Zhen woke up from her contemplation, her eyes opened, and she opened her mouth with a flash of light.

"So that my father will know that the child has asked people to secretly investigate the situation of the mid-mountain residence, and it is certain that Lin Ruyuan is in the house at this time, not only is he there, but Lin Hongtao is also there, and if you go down the net, you will be able to catch it!"

Li Chong is nominally in charge of the dark forces of the Yue Wangfu, but in fact, it is not his turn to command every big operation, this is the first time he has personally gone into battle, and he is very excited.

"Hmm......"

The stakes are high, Li Zhen is not in such a good mood as Li Chong, so he didn't say much at all, but just said noncommittally.

"Father Mingjian, that Lin Hongtao always thinks of himself as a confidant of the abolished prince, often makes perverse remarks, secretly restricts the dead and does not say anything, and dares to rein in the giant thieves of the rivers and lakes, it is already a capital crime, and no one has anything to say about it, and now everything is ready, without further ado, I am afraid of change, and the child implores his father to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Li Chong wanted to make meritorious deeds this time, and he was a little more serious and careful in doing things, and he really checked Lin Hongtao's details thoroughly, thinking that there was nothing wrong with him, and he wanted to send troops to take people as soon as possible, as a guarantee for consolidating his position.

"Well, is there any news about the 'Cloth Cloth Divine Appearance'?"

Although Li Chong had made his words clear, Li Zhen still did not rush to make a decision, but turned the topic to the whereabouts of the "cloth cloth god".

"This ......, but no, the child has ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to search and arrest with all its might, but there is a huge Jingshi, if you want to find a person, it is really not a day's work, this matter seems to be irrelevant to the overall situation, if you want to arrest it in the future."

Li Chong was ordered to preside over the overall situation outside this time, patronizing to make meritorious contributions, and the focus generally fell on the mid-mountain residence, but he did not carry out much on the arrest of the "cloth clothes god", that is, he went to Jingzhao Mansion to pass an order, and sent a few guards to show up there, but he himself did not ask much, at this time he heard Li Zhen ask, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak-hearted, but he didn't want to admit that he was conceited, so he prevaricated lightly.

"Wushuang, what do you think of this?"

Li Chong said it lightly, but Li Zhen was obviously not as confident as him, and he didn't comment much on his words, but turned his gaze to Chen Wushuang and asked tentatively.

"Little Prince, it is reported that Lin Ruyuan is extremely strong in martial arts, I wonder how sure the little prince is of winning this person?"

Chen Wushuang did not rush to answer Li Zhen's question, but nodded thoughtfully, looked sideways at Li Chong, who was eager to try, and asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, rest assured, although Lin Ruyuan is strong, Zhang Chu and Yan Wanshan are both strong enough to rival him, and if the two of them join forces, they can be captured or killed, and there will be no risk of mistakes!"

Li Chong is also a person who practices martial arts, and he knows that Zhang and Chu are both top players in the world, although they are not yet at the realm of grandmasters, but they are not too far behind, and they have absolute confidence in the ability of the two, and they are really refreshing to answer Chen Wushuang's question.

"Well, this is the best, lord, the prince is right, this matter is constantly delayed, it must be done as soon as possible, if the news is leaked, there will be endless troubles!"

Chen Wushuang obviously had a plan in his heart, but he was just worried that things would be discordant, but at this time, he was relieved to hear Li Chong's words of such affirmation, so he said with a resolute face.

"Okay, Chong'er immediately go and arrange a stop, be sure to capture Lin Hongtao alive, as for Lin Ruyuan, kill him on the spot, there must be no mistake!"

The reason why Li Zhen ordered the whole city to search for the "cloth clothes god face" this time is that there is a bluff to divert the attention of the martial queen, but there is no lack of taking the opportunity to take down this person's thoughts, in order to use it to blackmail Li Xian, of course, if Li Xian sends someone to rescue the "cloth clothes god face", Li Zhen is even more welcome, and he can take advantage of the situation to manipulate the people of Jingzhao Mansion to give Li Xian's dark forces a head-on attack, although this kind of calculation is good, but unfortunately he failed to get the "cloth clothes god face" and his person, he can't come in handy, and he secretly regrets it. I had to turn my attention back to the case itself.

"No!"

Li Chong had already waited a little impatiently, and when he heard that his old father had finally made up his mind, he was so excited that his face was twisted and hideous, and he didn't talk any more nonsense, and hurriedly answered, and rushed out of the study like a gust of wind, and went to arrange the troops without mentioning it......

At four o'clock, the night was already deep, and the huge East Palace was dark, only the study of the Ganlu Hall was still brightly lit, Li Xian, who was dressed in a single coat, sat alone in front of a few pieces, silently pondering on the half-played chess game, and the chess pieces in his hand did not fall for a long time, obviously his mind was not on the chess game itself, although his face was as calm as usual, but the essence that flashed in his eyes from time to time revealed Li Xian's not too calm mood.

"Your Royal Highness, the prince of Yue Wang has sent troops to break through the half-mountain residence, Lin Hongtao was captured, and Lin Ruyuan died on the spot."

In the silence, the lights in the study suddenly went out, and Li Yaodong, who was wearing a black night coat, had already appeared in the room, but when he saw him bowing towards Li Xian, he hurriedly said something.

"Well, it's hard work, let's go down and rest."

Li Xian nodded quietly, and commanded in a flat tone.

"No!"

Li Xian had already given the order, Li Yaodong didn't dare to delay any longer, and after answering, his body shook and disappeared like a ghost.

"It's finally over!"

The reason why Li Xian hadn't fallen asleep at this time, was waiting for such news, at this time, his mood was immediately relieved, and fatigue couldn't help but come up, so he stretched his waist fiercely, threw the chess pieces in his hand to a few pieces, stood up, and walked to the window, staring at the night sky in the west, without saying a word for a long time, his mind had obviously turned to the battle of the Western Expedition that was about to start......
