Shen Leng lived in the palace, and it was a matter of course, no one would object, of course, it was useless to object, after all, he had just been injured, and no one except His Majesty knew how serious the injury was, but everyone guessed that since the emperor ordered Shen Leng to move to the palace, I am afraid that the injury is really not light, and the chief of the inner chamberlain seems to have said something when he chatted with people on behalf of Fangzhou, which probably means that His Majesty let General Shen live in the palace to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor.

For a while, the speculation about how heavy Shen Leng's injuries were gradually extended to why there were assassins on the top of the mountain, and who the assassins were going to kill.

Human beings are very complex species, and complexity lies in thinking, and once you start thinking, it becomes more complex.

Some people say that the assassin was heading for His Majesty, otherwise why was it the top of the palace?

If you don't know what happened, you can ask if you are cranky.

Junchen thoughts, everyone XJB guesses.

It is also said that the reason why the assassin attacked Shen Leng was because Shen Leng discovered the assassin's hiding place and seriously injured Shen Leng in a fight.

Some people even say that General Shen Leng's martial arts are extraordinary, and he can fight on the battlefield so many times and rush back and forth to kill a master who is like entering a no-man's land, and he was seriously injured, which shows that the assassin's martial arts are stronger, and in Eastern Xinjiang, where can such a martial artist come from?

Some people say that the assassin actually escaped, who can guarantee that there is no internal response? Eight thousand forbidden troops closed the mountain, if the assassin was not extremely familiar with the terrain of the palace, how could he retreat after hurting people? The palace is more than ten miles outside Chaoyang City, this palace is empty most of the time, and it is the sword soldiers who are responsible for maintaining the security here on weekdays.

All of a sudden, the wind in eastern Xinjiang went from blowing to rolling wildly.

The direction of the wind is directed towards the general Pei Ting Mountain.

There are no well-known Jianghu guests in Eastern Xinjiang, even if there is, why would he assassinate General Shen or even His Majesty without injustice or hatred? Besides, when Pei Tingshan, the general of Dongjiang, gave an order, in addition to the dart bureau recorded in the government, even the Jianghu sect was not allowed to hide weapons privately...... Cute.

Therefore, it seems that assassins can only come from the army, and the masters of the army can only come from the sword soldiers.

Although His Majesty didn't say anything, he ordered the sword soldiers to retreat two miles to the periphery, the meaning of which is that a clear-eyed person can feel that something is wrong even if his eyes are closed, could it be that the general really dares to do something to His Majesty?

Who can guarantee that?

Since before His Majesty came, there have been rumors spread in Eastern Xinjiang, saying that Pei Xiao, the step-son of the great general Pei Tingshan, was killed by Meng Changan and Shen Leng.

In fact, few people even believed that Meng Changan killed Pei Xiao, but later, after His Majesty arrived, he transferred Yan Kaisong, the head of Pei Tingshan's eight swords, back from Baishan Pass, and transferred Meng Changan, who was originally in northern Xinjiang, which is somewhat meaningful.

Immediately afterwards, there was an assassination, and it was Han Zhaozhi who had just left Chaoyang City.

There will always be good people who will connect these things before and after, and find that they are actually very close, so the fact that Meng Changan killed Pei Xiao was believed by more and more people, and the general's abnormal behavior seemed to be able to be explained clearly, such as bringing a knife to accompany the king, such as slapping a palm on His Majesty's imperial chariot.

The teahouse is still the private room.

Li Xiaoran stepped up and found that the second floor was empty, in stark contrast to the overcrowding when he came last time, and recently there have been rumors, which is more and more unfavorable to the general Pei Tingshan, since the day before yesterday, the general ordered the sword soldiers to be under martial law in Chaoyang City, and yesterday a few people in another teahouse were arrested by the sword soldiers when discussing this matter, and now life and death are still uncertain.

It's just a matter of passing the addiction, and when it comes to life and death, it's better to practice closed-mouth meditation for the time being.

The teahouse is empty, the boss's face is naturally not good-looking, from yesterday to today only booked out this private room, after the guests came up, the boss personally followed up with a smiling face, and called the two most beautiful tea masters in the teahouse to serve, but although the son's eyes lit up when he saw the tea master, he still waved his hand and let people leave.

Li Xiaoran sat down and waited, he was not in a hurry, less and less anxious, because he found that the atmosphere in Dongjiang was becoming more and more interesting, maybe he didn't need to plan anything later, Pei Tingshan dared to really chop up Li Chengtang, who had taken away his emperor's throne in the first place.

That's great.

Xun Zhi accompanied Xiao Mianhu, one of Pei Tingshan's eight generals, on the road, and when he entered the door, Li Xiaoran could see at a glance that Xiao Mianhu's face was ugly.

"General, what's the matter?"

Li Xiaoran hurriedly got up and asked, "I don't look good." ”

Xiao Mianhu scolded: "Fuck the grass, I don't know which turtle grandson bastard went to hurt the one surnamed Shen, or at the top of His Majesty's Palace, if you have this courage, why don't you just give that person a knife!" ”

After all, he didn't dare to say it directly, and he stabbed His Majesty.

"Now everyone is privately talking about the assassin being our Eastern Frontier sword soldier, isn't that nonsense?"

Xiao Mianhu's hand slapped on the table with a snap: "If the general wants to do it, is it difficult that he still needs to invite an assassin?" Do you really have that thought, transfer a hundred ballistas, shoot him into the palace for an hour, even the palace can be demolished, and the eight thousand forbidden troops can hold the road and the bow and crossbow? ”

Xun Zhi hurriedly said: "The general is angry, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Xiao Mianhu seemed to react, and his face changed: "I'm fucking angry, I really don't know where the assassin came from, now everyone suspects the general, and the general is not wronged." ”

"Rest your anger, stop your anger."

Li Xiaoran personally poured Xiao Mianhu a cup of tea: "Your Majesty, hasn't you said anything yet?" ”

"If Your Majesty really says anything, then I can still sit here and drink tea with you, the prince?"

Xiao Mianhu sighed: "Your Majesty naturally can't express your position at will, how can you do things here in Eastern Xinjiang without a general?" I guess, even His Majesty thinks that the assassin is the person arranged by the general, and he will not point it out directly, it really tears his face, who can guarantee the final result? ”

Xun looked straight at Xiao Mianhu, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up and clenched his fists: "Apologize to the general." ”

"Why?"

Xiao Mianhu was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Xun Zhi leaned over and bowed: "Actually, I don't call Song Anlai, my name is Xun Zhi." ”

Xiao Mianhu's face obviously changed: "Mr. Xun, who is famous all over the world?!" ”

Xun Zhi said solemnly: "When I came to Dongjiang with the prince, it was not really to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but someone asked me to send a letter to the general......

Xiao Mianhu: "Where is the letter?" Whose Faith? ”

"Message."

Xun Zhidao: "The general should also know, but how can there be correspondence in all major events...... At this point, I will make it clear, in Chang'an City, there are people who don't want His Majesty to go back. ”

Xiao Mianhu stood up violently, and his hands subconsciously grabbed the handle of the knife, but found that he didn't bring the knife.

"Xun Zhi, you are so bold!"

He raised his finger and pointed at Xun Zhi's nose and scolded angrily: "You are trying to rebel!" ”

"My words seem to be much lighter than the general's words just now, if the general's words just now are spread, I am afraid that it will be even greater than my crime, and it is not the general who is implicated, a hundred ballistas......

Xun Zhi sat down and filled Xiao Mianhu with tea: "General, let me ask you something." ”

Li Xiaoran took the opportunity to come over and pull Xiao Mianhu: "General, sit down and drink tea first, and listen to Mr. Xun." ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"General, if something happens to Your Majesty, who will take the throne?"

"Naturally, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?"

"Of course it's Chang'an!"

"Does the general understand?"

Xiao Mianhu's face turned pale violently.

"Mr. Xun, you are going to punish the Nine Clans."

"I know that the general is open, so I told the truth, and if the general wants to denounce me, I can leave now...... But the general should also understand what kind of person His Majesty is? Twenty years since His Majesty ascended the throne, there is only one Mu Zhaotong left who was reused by the first emperor, and his identity has been hollowed out, not to mention the control of the imperial power, the weight in the cabinet is not as good as before, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the first emperor's people will naturally not be used by His Majesty today, what does this mean? It shows that His Majesty is very suspicious. ”

He looked at Xiao Mianhu's eyes: "General Lao went back and asked the general, if Your Majesty starts to suspect him, can he still sit in the eastern frontier?" ”

Xiao Mianhu's hands seemed to tremble slightly, and he subconsciously picked up the teacup and took a sip but his mouth burned, and after a few sips, he became more and more irritable.

"The general is the arm of the general, if something happens to the general, the general's future is ruined, don't say the general, can there be one more person who can hold up the eight sword generals? As long as the general is gone, the people on the Dongjiang side will be replaced, and after three or two years, who knows if they are alive or not, and how many people will care? ”

Xiao Mianhu: "Don't say it again. ”

Xun Zhi continued to take care of himself: "But the prince is different, the prince is at the time of employing people, and the prince's ascension to the throne is justified, and the prince has agreed...... If His Majesty can't go back to Chang'an City, the general is still a general, and the lord can enter the county king...... Since the founding of Daning, there has never been a foreign surname Wang, the general is the first person to find the country, and the eastern frontier is still the eastern frontier of the general, and the general is still the arm of the general. ”

Xiao Mianhu stood up again: "I don't know what you're talking nonsense, I haven't heard anything, I haven't been to this teahouse today, and I don't know that you Xun Zhi and His Royal Highness the Prince have arrived in Dongjiang." ”

He got up and walked out: "I received your things before, I will send someone to send you back, if you want to die, don't pull me, and don't pull the general." ”

After saying that, he went straight downstairs.

Li Xiaoran looked at Xun Zhi: "Sir, what now?" ”

"Take a gamble."

Xun looked out the window, and after a while, Xiao Mianhu's figure appeared on the street, lowered the brim of his hat and strode away.

"Bet on what?"

Li Xiaoran asked.

"We will sit here for half an hour, and if there is no armor to catch you and me for half an hour, our business will be almost done."

Xun Zhi raised his glass: "Shizi, drink tea." ”

Li Xiaoran raised his glass, took a sip and asked, "Why did Mr. report the prince directly just now?" ”

"If something really happened to Your Majesty, and it was revealed that the prince arranged for someone to do it, how could the prince justifiably ascend the throne?"

Xun Zhi laughed: "Shizi, I have done everything I can for you." ”

Li Xiaoran suddenly felt a little confused, of course he knew that Xun Zhi was the queen's person, the prince's person, and Xun Zhi was using himself, but now he couldn't see it...... Could it be that Xun Zhi really wants to help himself?
