"Shoot! Shoot the red-robed one! ”

Although the Yue Wangfu and his party under the city had been severely injured by the fire oil bomb, Sun San still refused to give up, and when he saw a tall red-robed young man rolling to the ground in flames, Sun San's mouth immediately showed a cruel smile, and he gave an order in a loud voice.

"Whoosh, whoosh......"

Sun Sanyi gave an order, and there were six sergeants armed with crossbows in response, and in the sound of the machine spring, dozens of steel arrows slashed through the air like locusts, whistling and blasting towards the young man in a red official robe, but the poor young man was burned by the fire, how could he avoid the rush of arrows, only had time to let out a heart-rending howl, and was shot into a hedgehog.

"Third brother, ah......, rush, rush to the city, Hugh and leave the thief!"

Although Li Chong was conceited and brave, he was actually a rookie who had never been in battle, and when he was suddenly attacked, he was stunned on the spot, until he saw the red-robed young man die on the spot, and then he let out an angry howl and roared angrily.

"Uptown!"

"Follow me!"

"Rush!"

……

Among the nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Chong, in addition to the 1,500 palace guards, there are also more than 400 high-rollers led by the two masters of Zhang Chu and Yan Wanshan.

"Withdraw!"

Sun San originally wanted to confirm whether the dead red-robed young man was really Li Wen himself, but he didn't expect the people of the Yue Wangfu to react so quickly, so he didn't dare to stay in this dangerous place longer, so he hurriedly roared, and led his troops to flee along the city wall in the direction of the west gate, but before leaving, he didn't forget to throw the repeater, accessories and other items on the ground.

"Report, little prince, the thief has escaped, and a lot of relics have been found at the scene, please make it clear to the little prince!"

Sun San and the others fled quickly, Zhang Chu and others chased for a while, seeing that they could not catch up, and they were afraid of being ambushed, so they didn't dare to chase anymore, and after guarding the city, they sent a guard down the city and reported the news to Li Chong.

"Hmph, block the scene, no matter who is allowed to leave the place without permission, those who violate the order will be killed!"

Li Chong's face was as gloomy as ice, and he didn't care at all about the expressions of the two local magistrates, Pei Xuancheng and Yan Xiao, who had gone and returned, and issued martial law in a gloomy tone.

"Li Langzhong, it seems that this case should be handled by me Tangzhou?"

Although Li Chong is the son of the king of Yue, the actual official rank is only the commander of the military department, in terms of official rank, but it is just a five-grade order, not to mention that it is not as good as Pei Xuancheng's fourth grade, compared to Yan Xiao's fifth-grade, it is also inferior, his unauthorized order, is undoubtedly acting beyond his authority, although Pei Xuancheng is about to step down, but after all, he has not stepped down, as a assassin, naturally he can't sit back and watch Li Chong give orders here, so he stood up from the side, and said with displeasure.

"Two adults, please!"

Li Chong's temper has always been very violent, except for not daring to be presumptuous in front of King Yue, if the rest of the people dare to disobey, they will definitely not be spared, even in the face of the powerful Empress Wu and the martial prince Li Xian, he also dared to resist loudly, but at this time in the face of Pei Xuancheng's questioning, he rarely remained calm, and did not say much, just gloomy face, waved his hand, but he walked into the city gate cave, and when this kind of faction came out, Pei and Yan were not good to say more, could only helplessly follow behind Li Chong.

"Little prince, are your subordinates incompetent, they failed to catch the murderer, and they asked the little prince to surrender."

As soon as Li Chong and his entourage went up to the city gate, Zhang Chu, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and pleaded guilty with an apologetic face.

"What did you find?"

Li Chong waved his hand, stopped Zhang Chu's words, looked around at the chaotic scene, and asked coldly.

"Back to the little prince, six crossbows were found at the scene, with the Hexi military insignia on them, and in addition, several accessories were found in the East Palace Guard, please check the little prince."

As soon as he talked about what he had learned at the scene, Zhang Chu's face instantly turned hideous, and he almost gritted his teeth and reported the situation one by one.

"Do you have any advice on this, two adults?"

Li Chong did not rush forward to verify what Zhang Chu said, but leaned sideways, glanced at Pei and Yan, and snorted procrastinately.

"Li Langzhong, this official said that this is a case in Tangzhou, and it must be decided by my Tangzhou, and others are not allowed to do it without permission!"

Regarding Li Chong's anti-guest-oriented behavior, Yan Xiao just blinked his eyes and didn't say anything, but Pei Xuancheng couldn't help it, stepped forward with a pale face, and protested solemnly.

"Well, Master Pei said this well, what is the matter of Tangzhou, naturally Tangzhou should be decided, come here, go and invite the third brother!"

Li Chong looked at Pei Xuancheng coldly for a while, and suddenly laughed gloomily, first affirming Pei Xuancheng a few words, and then suddenly raising his voice and breaking his throat.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

……

Hearing Li Chong say this, Pei and Yan couldn't help but be stunned, not for anything else, just because when the previous three carriages were attacked, the red-robed young man who escaped from the middle carriage had unmistakably died under the bow and crossbow, which Yan Xiao had witnessed with his own eyes, and although Pei Xuancheng had never seen it, he had also seen the body of the red-robed young man, and they all thought that the deceased must be Li Wen, but listening to Li Chong's words, it was obviously not the case, although Pei and Yan's thoughts were different, But the look of surprise is the same.

"No!"

Li Chong ordered, the guards who had their own guards on the side shouted and left, and after a while, they had already walked up to the city gate tower surrounded by two people in civilian clothes, one of them was tall, it was Li Wen who should have died under the bow and crossbow, and the other person was a middle-aged scholar with a dashing demeanor, and it was Chen Wushuang, the chief thinker of the Yue Palace!

"Big brother!"

Li Wen was in the convoy that left Caizhou, and sneaked to Tangzhou day and night under the cover of a group of dead soldiers from the Yue Wangfu, and rushed all the way, since he did not suffer less, his original red and tender face was quite discouraged at this time, but his spirit was very good, as soon as Fang went to the city, he rushed to Li Chong's side in a few big strides, and greeted him triumphantly.

"Well, the third brother came just in time, Lord Pei proposed that Tangzhou should be decided on Tangzhou, and the brother also felt that it should be so, and since you were ordered to enter Tangzhou, it would be good to hand over to Lord Pei."

Li Chong pursed his lips, showed a sarcastic smile, waved his hand at Li Wenyi, and commanded without being salty.

"Okay, I'll leave it to the younger brother."

Thinking that he would be able to control the important place of Tangzhou in his hands immediately, Li Wen was very proud, he smiled, replied casually, turned around and looked at Pei and Yan, and pretended to arch his hand and said: "The two adults are invited, Li Wen, the general, came to Tangzhou to take up his post by the order of His Majesty. ”

"Don't dare, General Li has worked hard all the way, please go to the post station to rest first, and it's not too late to discuss tomorrow if there is something."

Although Pei Xuancheng has never been involved in the whirlpool of political disputes in the imperial court, he is upright by nature, but he is unpleasant to see the people of the Yue Wangfu for 120,000 places, and he doesn't want to disobey the wishes of the Yue Wangfu and his party, so he bowed back and replied perfunctorily.

"Lord Pei's words are wrong, the general will come by the emperor's order, and he must not delay for a while, now there are thieves who want to assassinate the general, and they must find out as soon as possible.

Li Wen was originally a vulgar person, but when he said something about it, he was also very polite, and it was obvious that this line was definitely memorized in advance.

"In this ......, General Li doesn't know anything, the matter of delivery is trivial, and it cannot be done in a day, even if it is urgent, it must wait for the official to return to the government before it can be done."

Although he didn't understand too much why the Yue Wangfu and his party were in such a hurry to hand over the state affairs, Pei Xuancheng subconsciously didn't want to fulfill the wishes of this group of people, and after pondering for a while, he still rejected Li Wen's proposal under the pretext.

"Doesn't Lord Pei be in a hurry to obey the power, now, there is a holy oracle here, doesn't Lord Pei have to do something to resist the decree, huh?"

As soon as he heard Pei Xuancheng prevaricate like this, Li Wen immediately lowered his face, reached out and took out a yellow silk masked holy decree from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands, raised it high above his head, and asked in a domineering manner.

"Pei doesn't dare, since there is a holy purpose, then everything will be done according to the holy will."

As soon as the holy decree came out, even if Pei Xuancheng was unwilling, he had no choice, so he could only take a small step back and bow down in response.

"Very good, in this case, you and I can be regarded as the handover, and please ask Master Pei to go back to the house to rest, and this official will be responsible for this!"

Li Wen didn't know how many times he had been practiced by Chen Wushuang before he came, and he knew the drama by himself, and when he saw Pei Xuancheng retreating, he immediately hurried in and said.

"Master Li stays, and the official leaves!"

After being forced to hand over the position of assassin history, although Pei Xuancheng was annoyed in his heart, he was no longer qualified to take care of state affairs, even if he was reluctant, he could only drop a sentence with a pale face, flick his sleeves, and lead the attaché to walk down the city gate tower and go back to the house on his own.

"Lord Yan, before this official took office, he was assassinated, and the security of Tangzhou is worried."

Li Wen ignored Pei Xuancheng's negative anger and left, looked sideways at Yan Xiao, and said with a smile.

"This ......"

knew that Li Wen was playing an official tone, but Yan Xiao had no choice but to bow down helplessly and wisely remain silent.

"Lord Yan, these assassins can be mixed with the city gate, and they have the standard equipment in the army, I am afraid that it is not so simple, there must be something to do, before it is investigated, it is difficult for all the officials to escape suspicion, the official has made up his mind, the whole city is under martial law, all the officials present, just be wronged first, wait for the official to solve the case, and then discuss the rest, I don't know what Lord Yan wants, huh?"

Once in power, Li Wenke unceremoniously picked up the chicken feathers as an arrow, and snorted with official authority.

"This, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"

As soon as he heard that Li Wen was going to detain all the officials, Yan Xiao already had a ghost in his heart, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly spoke out against it.

"There's nothing wrong with it, if you go thief, wouldn't Lord Yan want to take full responsibility, huh?"

Li Wen smiled and scolded unceremoniously.

"My lord said and laughed, how dare the lower officials, how dare the lower officials, it's just, ah, it's just a big matter, my lord, do you think you will discuss it later?"

Assassinating an official of the court is a serious crime, how dare Yan Xiao really carry this black pot on his own body, and he was suffocated for a long time.

"Okay, it's decided, come here, invite all the officials to the post station, and entertain them, and the officials have their own ideas when they turn back!"

What Li Wen wants is to control the entire Tangzhou in his hands, how can he care about what the officials of Gon Gong have, seeing that Yan Xiao has lowered his head, he no longer talks more, his face sank, and he broke his throat, and a group of guards from the Yue Wangfu heard the order, ignoring the protests of the officials in Tangzhou, and blatantly detained all the officials and officials present......
