Chapter 377: The Shadow of the Night
Li Chen's eyes were closed, and he tried to make himself look calmer, even though there was no one in the jade chariot to accompany him.
It's just one person.
Even Wang Guichang was driven to the position of the driver of the car by Li Chen.
As for where the servant has gone, who cares?
"Your Majesty, the assassin in front has been killed by the forbidden army, and the official road has been cleared, please hurry as soon as possible!"
Outside the car, it was Wang Zongshi's voice.
"What about the casualties?" Li Chen opened his eyes abruptly and asked eagerly.
At this moment, the only thing Li Chen is worried about in his heart is Li Zhen.
And when Wang Zongshi said the long list of names in turn, Li Chen's hanging heart finally landed.
He didn't care who the assassins were, who they were instructed to, not even the dead officials.
Because there's only one person he cares about.
"Your Majesty......"
"I know, let's go!" Li Chen said softly, and he couldn't hear any waves in his words.
"Your Majesty, Youzhou Marching Sima Li Zhen asks to see you!"
Wang Zongshi looked at Li Zhen, there was not much overlap between the two eyes, although Wang Zongshi was very curious about how Li Zhen killed the assassin, but after all, he swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth.
Li Chen in the car didn't respond for a long time, so much so that Wang Zongshi had to say again: "Your Majesty, Youzhou ......"
"Let him in!"
Just a few words, but Wang Zongshi could hear the strangeness in Li Chen's tone.
After hearing this, Li Zhen bowed slightly to Wang Zongshi, and then raised his feet to the car, the curtain opened lightly, and Li Zhen bowed down and said: "...... Chenyouzhou"
"Let's sit down!" Li Chen's face had the same smile on his face as Li Zhen.
"You're hurt?" Li Chen noticed that Li Zhen's face was a little pale, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"It's okay, the minister has experienced something more dangerous than this one!" Li Zhen said with a smile.
"Do you know the identity of the assassin?" Li Chen then asked.
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "The minister is here to talk about this matter!" ”
......
Feng Yan had never seen Yan Heng's face as ugly as it was now, so gloomy that it was almost dripping, and it was thicker than the dark clouds in the sky.
"Are you sure it's the thief of Xuanduguan?!"
After being silent for a long time, Yan Heng gritted his teeth and said.
"The subordinates have done such an errand, but if there is the slightest uncertainty, they will never report it!" Feng Yan has always been cautious in front of Yan Heng, but only when she said this, she raised her head and held her chest high.
Yan Heng fell silent again, because he knew the relationship between the Xuandu Guan Qingchen Daoist and Ma Yuanzhen, since the Qingchen Thief Dao appeared here, then there must be Ma Yuanzhen's shadow behind this.
He ...... Why did you assassinate Li Zhen? Yan Heng groaned, puzzled.
Feng Yan thought for a while and said: "The assassin is from the rivers and lakes, and the name is difficult to find out for a while, and the person who killed the assassin is the Qingchen Thief Dao of Xuandu Temple, but judging from the situation at that time, the Qingchen Thief Dao does not seem to have any intention of killing Li Sima, otherwise with the skill of the last dagger, Li Sima has no possibility of escaping!" Besides, this thief can sneak in without knowing it, which is enough to show that he has something extraordinary! ”
After hearing this, Yan Heng looked at Feng Yan and said, "Keep talking!" ”
Feng Yan smiled and said, "My subordinates are stupid, there is only so much I can think of!" ”
Yan Heng glanced at Feng Yan, and then said, "If the target of this thief is not Li Zhen according to what you said, why do you want to do more?" ”
Speaking of this, Yan Heng seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure that King Qi has left the capital?" ”
Feng Yu nodded and said, "Wu Yuan and Li Qi saw King Qi's car drive out of the capital with their own eyes, they shouldn't be mistaken!" ”
"Can you see King Qi himself?" Yan Heng asked again.
Feng Yan hesitated a little, thought for a while and replied: "This is not true, from beginning to end, King Qi has been in the car and has never shown up!" ”
After hearing this, Yan Heng was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "If my guess is right, King Qi not only did not leave the capital, but also was in the Xuandu Temple!" ”
Feng Yan's face tightened, "Yan Shuai means that King Qi colluded with that thief?" ”
Yan Heng shook his head and said, "King Qi's secret is only known to Li Zhen......
Speaking of this, Yan Heng's face couldn't help but change greatly, and said: "Ma Yuanzhen and Qiu Shiliang must have colluded!" ”
Feng Yan's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he was about to open his mouth to speak, but he only heard Yan Heng then say: "How many brothers can be contacted in the vicinity the fastest?" ”
Feng Yan replied without thinking: "Within an hour, all of them can be contacted!" ”
"Order all the brothers to watch Xuandu, and don't release a fly without my order!"
Feng Yan looked a little hesitant and said, "But if King Qi is inside, his five hundred dead soldiers ......."
Yan Heng looked at Feng Yan and asked, "Can it be solved?" ”
"Can be can, but once you start to move, this movement will be too big!" Feng Yu said worriedly.
"If it doesn't move, if there is any reckless action...... Yan Heng smiled, "Kill!" ”
......
Li Chen's brows furrowed, sometimes staring at Li Zhen, sometimes falling into contemplation, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "According to what you said, Ma Yuanzhen is smarter than Qiu Shiliang!" ”
Li Zhen nodded when he heard this, even if he had always thought that Qiu Shiliang was the most difficult one before this incident, but now it seems that Ma Yuanzhen is even better.
can quietly control the overall situation in Qiu Shiliang's chess game, such a scheming is beyond his reach.
At this time, I saw Li Chen say softly: "But all this is just your speculation, and there is no real evidence!" ”
Li Zhen then said: "Even if it's just speculation, our plan should be changed!" ”
Li Chen looked at Li Zhen and said with a smile: "I am just a puppet now, you can do what you want, my Yu Linwei and Yan Heng's bad people are at your disposal, as for the others, I can't help you much, but only one ...... Don't spread too widely! ”
After saying that, Li Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "What I want is the stability of the country, not a river of blood!" ”
Li Zhen nodded and said, "The minister retires!" ”
And Li Zhen just got up, but he heard Li Chen say: "Remember, killing is not the best policy, punishing the heart is the best!" ”
......
"Hehe, I can't see it, Li Zhen's little man is still a little poundy!"
On a low slope, Gudoda grinned happily.
Because it is still far from the official road, the three thousand elites led by Gu Duoda and Gao Yu are not within the scope of the forbidden army's investigation.
It's just that Gu Duoda or Gao Biao never noticed that on an ancient tree not far from him, there was a pair of eyes that were always watching here.
I never relaxed for a moment.
Gao Biao looked up at the sky, although the sky was still gloomy, the faint sound of birds not far away seemed a little strange.
"Old Bone, have you noticed something unusual about this bird?"
