The 12th day of the first lunar month (3)
Wu Sansi avoided Taiping's aggressive eyes, turned around and secretly calculated that at this moment, Taiping had already told him and Pan, if he did not agree, he would undoubtedly stand on the opposite side of Taiping and be his enemy. He understands this person, he understands this person, the desire for power is consumed, and he will repay him, and he has never given up as long as she wants to get it, and this time is even more so. In today's situation, it is better to pretend to agree first, she can also be regarded as a strong reinforcement, and after finally winning the throne, other things will come to a long time, there is no need to tear his face with her at this moment, he sees her methods in tonight's affairs, he doesn't want to be careless, and he will become the fate of Li Ke.
Thinking of this, Wu Sansi sighed, turned around and said, "That's it!" According to what you said, if the big thing is accomplished, you and the two saints of this king will come to the dynasty and share the world! ”
Hearing Wu Sansi say this, Taiping put away the eyes just now, and said with a smile: "This palace knows that King Liang knows practice and understands righteousness, and he will never choose the wrong path at this critical juncture!" ”
Seeing that the two of them were smiling happily and the atmosphere was relaxed, Wu Jiang, who had been silent for a long time, hurriedly got up and said, "Then Weichen wants to wish the two saints a great event!" He bowed deeply as he spoke. That Gao Jian has always been a flattering person, how can he show weakness at this moment, he quickly got up and knelt on his knees, and said loudly: "Weichen, this is the first to bow to the two emperors!" Taiping smiled lightly and said, "Look at this palace and don't tear your mouth apart, and I'm not afraid of others hearing it." ”
That Xue Liang never answered, he knew Wu Sansi's heart, how could the two of them share the affairs of this world? It is a false promise at this time, and then a plan for the future; Besides, Xue Liang is not a sycophant, and he will never be like the two of them.
Wu Sansi continued: "Tonight's fake princess matter, this king thinks about it, it seems that there are flaws, if it is exposed in the future, how can it be good? ”
Taiping sneered and said, "King Liang, don't worry! How can this used piece be used again? The three of you, do you think you can see the sun tomorrow? With that, he laughed again. Her smile really sent chills down her spine, Wu Sansi looked at the woman in front of her, acting so viciously, and there was indeed an indescribable emotion in her heart.
After a long time, seeing that everyone no longer answered, Taiping said: "Since the matter has been agreed, then the palace will retire, and tomorrow morning, I will listen to His Majesty's announcement of how to handle the Shangyuan Festival!" After that, he left the Liang Wangfu with Gao Jian.
After Taiping left, Wu Sansi said to Xue Liang earnestly: "This woman has a vicious heart, we must act cautiously, and we must not make a noise about tonight's affairs, so as not to cause trouble." Mr. should know the king's thoughts, and I hope that Mr. will work hard and do everything. ”
Xue Liang knew that Wu Sansi's mind was really consistent with his guess, so he replied: "Oh! ”
Wu Sansi turned to Wu Jiang and reprimanded angrily: "Everything is because of you, what you see, hear, and discuss tonight, you had better not say a word, if there is a leak, this king will never spare you!" Again, if you commit another crime in today's affairs, and give others a handle, this king will not tolerate it! Hearing Wu Sansi so angrily reprimanded, Wu Jiang hurriedly knelt on the ground, and replied with a trembling voice: "Oh! ”
Speaking of Li Ke, after separating from Li Sanlang, within a moment, he arrived at Yirenfang. He touched the token given to him by Li Sanlang, and considered whether to mobilize bad people to help find Lun Kesu, but after thinking about it, this bad person was the messenger in charge of the investigation and arrest, and Len Kesu did not commit a crime, on the contrary, he had a request for others, and it seemed a little inappropriate to let the bad people go to find him, so he went to the Thousand Domains Pavilion alone.
Not long ago, Li Ke had just tossed around in this Thousand Domains Pavilion, and Xiao Er, who was in charge of welcoming guests at the door, was a lot more indifferent when he saw Li Ke, and he didn't care when he saw Li Ke, Li Ke approached Xiao Er and whispered: "Li is looking for someone, it's convenient." Xiao Er hurriedly took two steps back and said, "Li Daxia, isn't it enough for you to find someone?" Our Third Master Shen has explained, we are not allowed to receive you again, you better go. ”
Li Ke took out a silver ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into the small second-hand hand, and said, "I don't enter, you can find it for me." ”
Xiao Er pinched the silver ingot in his hand, immediately changed his face, and whispered, "Li Daxia, who are you looking for?" I'll help you. ”
Li Ke whispered: "I want to find the Khitan painter who comes here every year during the Shangyuan Festival-Lenkesu, is he included at the moment?" ”
Xiao Er nodded again and again, and replied: "Yes, yes, yes, I just went in not long ago." ”
When Li Ke heard that Len Kesu was included, he was overjoyed, and continued in a low voice: "If you go in and call him out, you will say that the old man is visiting." ”
Xiao Er accepted the silver ingot, he was very happy in his heart, and he was also very hard to do things, but he knew that the silver ingot was at least half a year's salary for him, and after Li Ke finished speaking, he turned around and entered the Thousand Fan Pavilion to help him find someone, or he said that there is money in this place of Shendu that can make ghosts grind.
It didn't take long for Xiao Er to lead a person out, the person was dressed as a bearded person, it was Len Kesu, who may have just drunk thirty years and was on the rise, this was suddenly called out, and there was still some displeasure on his face, but he saw that the person who came was Li Ke, and the displeasure just now was swept away, after all, the two were also old friends for many years, Len Kesu hurriedly stepped forward to hug Li Ke, and said: "My old friend, long time no see, Shangyuan Ankang!" ”
Li Ke also smiled and said, "Old friend, Shangyuan is healthy!" Here I am ... ”
Li Ke didn't finish speaking, suddenly there was a sound of "swoop" bow and crossbow, Li Ke noticed the danger, but in a hurry, he couldn't judge the direction of the arrow cluster, so he pressed Len Kesu to the ground together, in the face of the sudden change, Len Kesu was also startled, as soon as the two fell to the ground, they saw that the arrow cluster just now shot on the stone steps, and the target should be Len Kesu from the direction of the arrow.
Seeing this, Len Kesu was shocked and wanted to get up and run away, but Li Ke grabbed Len Kesu tightly and shouted: "Be careful! A few more arrows came over, but fortunately Li Ke pulled Len Kesu to avoid them one by one, it seems that there is more than one crossbowman, and the most important thing at the moment is to get out quickly, Li Ke hurriedly said to Len Kesu: "You are in danger at the moment, come with me!" Len Kesu nodded immediately, and followed closely after Li Ke.
Li Ke pulled out the long sword behind him, this sword was confiscated when he was imprisoned in the prison, but the jailer had returned it in time when he left, this sword is not an ordinary sword, but by the sword casting master of the Western Regions with dark iron carefully forged, sharpened iron like clay, can be called the best in the sword, the sword name "moonlight", is when Li Ke and Yuewa got married, Yuewa's brother gifted, Li Ke once held this sword to defeat countless masters, has always been the sword never left the body.
After a few crossbow shots, Li Ke has adapted to the speed of the bow and arrows, whenever the arrow cluster hits, Li Ke can calmly block it with a sword, at the same time, he pulled Len Kesu to quickly flee outside the pleasant fang, the crossbowman saw Li Ke and the two go away, and did not pursue, he should know Li Ke's martial arts, long-range shooting is acceptable, once the close pursuit, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight. So when the two gradually moved away, the ambusher also gave up and continued to pursue.
After running for a while, seeing that there were no more arrows shooting, Len Kesu asked breathlessly, "Li Ke, what's going on?" Li Ke replied: "You are in danger, come with me, I will protect you!" "Len Kesu asked himself that he has never been bad with anyone, but at this moment someone actually wants to kill him, although he feels inexplicable, but the shooting just now is so real, he has been friends with Li Ke for many years, and he trusts him, so he has no scruples at this moment, and follows Li Ke closely; Li Ke looked at the arrow he had just picked up in his hand, the arrow was poisonous, exactly the same as the one that shot Li Zheng and the shaman high priest, it seems that this killer must have been sent by Na Keduo, but what is strange is how Keduo knew that Li Ke was here? Thinking of this, Li Ke sped up again and took Len Kesu all the way towards the East Palace.
A moment later, the two came to the East Palace, the prince had not slept all night, and Lord Zhang Cambodia was also there. Li Sanlang saw that Li Ke had brought Len Kesu, and hurriedly got up to greet him, but seeing that the two seemed to be a little embarrassed, he asked what he had done? Li Ke handed the arrow to Li Sanlang, and recounted the attack just now, Li Sanlang was shocked when he heard it, and said: "I discussed this matter just now, only you and me, is that... Colliers? ”
Li Ke thought for a moment and said: "Li feels that this is not the person, Li Sicheng, please think about it, if it is Gao Lishi, won't he be exposed at this moment?" A total of three people knew about this, and it seemed too hasty for him to do so, and judging from what he had done before, I didn't think it would be like this. ”
Listening to what Li Ke said, Li Sanlang also felt reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Maybe his whereabouts were followed by Keduo, and Keduo sent someone to follow you all the way to Yirenfang." ”
Li Ke sighed and said slowly: "If this is the case, this Keduo's hands and eyes are too far to the sky, and even His Majesty's secret envoy can follow them, then we must be more cautious in everything!" ”
Len Kesu didn't know what was going on, and he was confused by the audience, so he asked, "Li Ke, does this matter have anything to do with me?" Why do they want to kill me? ”
Li Ke said: "This matter is a long story, simply put, we suspect that someone killed Princess Azina of the Khitan, and found someone to impersonate, we are looking for you to paint a portrait of Princess Azina to expose their conspiracy, and we think that they want to kill you for this matter." ”
After hearing this, Len Kesu's eyes immediately turned rosy, and he muttered: "The beautiful and kind Princess Azina was actually killed, who is the villain?" ”
Li Ke shook his head and said, "It hasn't been confirmed yet, so I'm looking for you to come to help, hoping to solve this case as soon as possible!" ”
When Len Kesu heard this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, it was the princess of their country who was assassinated, and it was normal to be sad and angry at this time, so he said: "Quickly help me prepare a pen and paper, and I will paint a portrait of Princess Azina." ”
With a wave of his hand, the prince took the paper and pen prepared in advance to Lun Kesu, who didn't say a word, and hurriedly started painting.
After another moment, the portrait was basically completed, the prince, Li Sanlang, Zhang Cambodia, and Li Ke came over to see the painting made by Len Kesu, and everyone unconsciously gasped, Li Sanlang took the lead and said: "Sure enough, as Li Duwei expected, this gang of gangsters is really bold!" ”
The prince waved his hand again, and a person came out from behind the screen, it was the little eunuch Gao Lishi next to the female emperor, Li Sanlang, Zhang Cambodia, and Li Ke were all shocked when they saw this person, when was this person here? The prince said to Colliers, "Have you seen what happened tonight?" ”
Colliers replied, "The villain has seen it clearly." ”
The crown prince said, "Then go and report to Your Majesty immediately." ”
Colliers replied, "Oh! He withdrew, his face was expressionless all the time, and he no longer looked at others.
Li Sanlang and Li Ke were shocked by the female emperor's wrist again, it turned out that their every move was under the control of the female emperor, and if there was a slight mistake, it would be a catastrophe, and the two of them secretly felt cold in their hearts.
