Wei Wei said: "It seems that Situ should have been targeted when he was in Chang'an, otherwise the assassin would not have assassinated someone in the escort team, but Situ himself!" ”

"Yes, it was because I was separated from the brigade in Xinfeng that the assassins didn't know that I was no longer in the brigade, so they assassinated the people in the brigade who pretended to be me!"

Wei Wei was puzzled, "Since Situ didn't know in advance that someone was going to assassinate him, why did he let people pretend to be himself in the team?" ”

Li Shun said: "When entering the territory of one side from one force, how can a cavalry escort of two hundred people pass through? Therefore, there must be someone pretending to be an old man as an envoy, only then will he be allowed to enter the territory, but I didn't expect this move to inadvertently save my own life! After speaking, he shook his head and sighed.

Wei Jun smiled and said: "It seems that Situ is blessed with a great life, and the so-called catastrophe will have a blessing if he does not die!" ”

"Haha, then thank you General Jiyan!"

In a fabric shop in Luoyang City, a guy walked in from outside, and the shopkeeper who was dialing the abacus to settle the accounts looked up, lowered his head and continued to dial the abacus, and asked, "What did you find today?" ”

The shopkeeper looked out at the street as he spoke, "I may have been discovered!" There were only three people when they went to the town guard mansion from the post house, and after they came out of the town guard house, they had one more tooth to guard, and now the soldiers of that one tooth have been deployed in the post house! Also, someone met Li Shun when he came out of the town guard mansion, and he should have known them about the situation, maybe he was one of the people who guarded him! ”

After listening to the action of dialing the plan plate in his hand, the shopkeeper stopped, frowned and said: "It seems that Li Shun's purpose of seeing the captain's family should not have been achieved, but the captain's family sent troops to protect them, which shows that Li Shun has not failed, and they should contact again!" The task given to us by the above is to kill Li Shun, but I always feel that we should find out the real purpose of Li Shun's coming to Luoyang! ”

The guy walked to the door and took a look, then stepped back and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's find a way to tie up one or two people around Li Shun, as long as they are interrogated strictly, don't worry about them not opening their mouths!" ”

The shopkeeper groaned for a few breaths, "Let a person like Li Shun go out in person, and come all the way from the clouds to Luoyang, this matter is only trivial, I am afraid that even the people around Li Shun do not know his true purpose, if we act rashly, it is easy to startle the snake!" ”

The guy suggested again: "Anyway, the order above is for us to kill Li Shun, let's just follow the order, why bother to make trouble?" I think that everything is solved by killing Li Shun, no matter what conspiracy they have, as long as Li Shun dies, no matter what he is planning, everything will disappear, I think the above must also consider this! ”

"No, no, no, things are not so simple, although the Great Wei Imperial Court was defeated, but after all, there is still Yu Wei, and there are many ministers and soldiers, if Li Shunzheng has set up any plan, as long as the Great Wei Imperial Court thinks that this plan is useful, even if Li Shun dies, the Great Wei Imperial Court will implement this plan!"

After speaking, the shopkeeper thought about it and said to the man: "In this way, tonight you quietly go to see the inner line arranged by us in the town guard mansion, and let him find out what the purpose of Li Shun's meeting with the lieutenant is!" ”

"Good!"

Late at night, when the man returned to the cloth hall after going out for an hour, the shopkeeper closed the door, turned around and asked, "How is it, have you seen anyone?" ”

The guy said: "I saw it, I told him about it, he said that he knew about it, but he didn't know what Li Shun said to Wei Shun, he asked the people around Wei Shun to knock on the side and inquire, and he didn't ask, it is said that there was no one else around when Wei and Li Shun were talking, so except for the two of them, no one knew what they said!" ”

The shopkeeper sighed: "It seems that this matter depends on whether the people of our Luoyang branch can't find out clearly, or follow the orders from above, let's do it directly!" ”

"What is the shopkeeper's plan to do?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while, "If you want to start in the city, I'm afraid that you won't be able to use force, now Li Shun's side is heavily guarded, don't say that we don't have a master here, even if there is a master, it may not be able to succeed, so let's send him something first!" ”

Two days later, the entourage sent by Li Shun to contact the escort team came back, he was out of breath and walked quickly into Li Shun's room in the post house, and was about to speak, Li Shun saw him like this, and handed over a cup of tea in his hand: "Don't worry, take a sip of tea first and then talk slowly!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" The entourage took the teacup and drank it in a few sips, "Master, General Wu, they have already passed the Hangu Pass, and they have not encountered anything within the assassination along the way!" ”

Li Shun is even more sure that the assassination is aimed at him, and the other party is already targeting him in Chang'an, which side of the person is it? Now it is basically possible to exclude people such as Lai Daqian, Xi Juan, Pi Leopard and Wei Juan, as well as people from the Yunzhong Imperial Court, who are either people from the Qianguo State or people from the Southern Dynasties.

"You're tired after a few days of traveling, let's go down and rest first!"

"Yes, sir!"

It's been three days, and Wei Wei hasn't made a decision yet, which makes Li Shun a little anxious, it stands to reason that Wei Wei doesn't know that his situation is very dangerous, why hasn't he made a decision quickly?

Li Shun thought for a while and didn't have a clue, then another entourage ran in in a panic to report: "Master, it's not good, Li Qing spit black blood from his mouth, his face is blue, his lips are purple, and he is dying!" ”

"What? He's all right just now! Take me to see it! Li Shun said and immediately got up and walked out quickly.

By the time Li Shun arrived, his entourage Li Qing had already lost his breath.

Li Shun squatted with a solemn face and looked at the scene and appearance of Li Qing when he died, turned his head to the entourage standing aside and ordered: "Go find a medical craftsman!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The entourage quickly invited a medical craftsman to come over, and at Li Shun's request, the medical craftsman examined the deceased Li Qing, and then said, "Master, your entourage died of poisoning!" ”

"Poisoned? You say he died of poisoning? ”

"Yes, sir!"

Li Shun remembered the cup of tea he handed Li Qing to drink just now, which was made for him by Li Ming, the attendant standing next to him, and asked Li Ming after sending the doctor away: "Li Ming, did you make that cup of tea just now?" Is it the tea you take and the boiling water you pour? ”

Li Ming said: "It was the tea cups taken by the subordinates, and the guys who sent boiling water to the post house sent them!" ”

Li Shun immediately asked, "Have you seen that guy before?" ”

"It's like······ Haven't seen it! Li Ming thought about it and shook his head.

"Bring a few armorers and catch him!" Li Shun quickly commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Li Ming agreed, and when he went out, he called four soldiers to arrest people.

It didn't take long for Li Ming to come back and report: "Master, we searched the entire post house and didn't find anyone, we must have run away!" The subordinate asked the post house, and he said that there was no such person in the post house."

After Li Shun heard it, he thought of the cup of tea again, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This incident was a big problem, and the post man quickly came after getting the news, and after checking the scene, he sent someone to report to the official, and the lieutenant also got the news, and personally rushed to condole, and also ordered all the personnel in the post house to be checked and verified to prevent the assassins from mixing in and assassinating.

"It's too rampant, it's too rampant, poisoning and assassinating people in broad daylight is simply lawless!" Wei Jun roared, calmed down a little, and said to Li Shun: "Situ, this kind of thing happened under the rule of this general, Wei is really ashamed!" Situ rest assured, Ben will definitely find the assassin! ”

Li Shun said: "General, there is no need to make a big deal about this matter, if the assassin is so easy to catch, he is not an assassin!" By the way, General, I don't know how the General thought about what the old man told you a few days ago? ”

The lieutenant pondered and said to Li Shun: "Situ has to give me some more time, the lieutenant has the support of his soldiers, and their lives are handed over to my lieutenant, I have to think about and be responsible for them, the matter is very important, I have to discuss with some henchmen and generals, and please Situ be calm and wait a few more days, how about it?" ”

Li Shun had no other choice but to agree: "Okay, I hope the general will reply as soon as possible!" ”

Qianjing, Qinzheng Palace.

Hua Mulan walked over with a bowl of bird's nest and put it on the imperial case and said, "Husband, things can't be done, you should walk around more, you see that you are dealing with military and political affairs all day and night, and your work is about to fall, right?" It won't work like this, people are not beaten with iron, and even if they are beaten with iron, they can't stand such a hard time! ”

Zhao Junsheng listened to Mulan's words, the pen in his hand stopped, raised his head and smiled: "You're right, I'm too anxious, in fact, most of the things that are not too important can be handed over to the ministers to deal with, and those ministers and officials have nothing to do, you remind me well!" ”

Zhao Junsheng finished eating the bird's nest in one go, got up and took Mulan's hand and walked out: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk!" ”

The two walked out of the hall, and Zhao Junsheng asked, "What about the children?" ”

Hua Mulan said: "The eldest and second are studying, and the third is here!" ”

Zhao Junsheng took the third child who was still in swaddling clothes from the maid and said to Mulan: "The weather is good today, when the eldest and second child come back from Mr., let's all change our clothes and go out of the palace to play!" ”

Staying in the palace for a long time also felt bored, and there were too many rules, Hua Mulan also wanted to go out of the palace for a walk, so she happily agreed: "Okay!" ”

The family changed into the clothes of ordinary people, Zhao Junsheng hugged the third child, Hua Mulan held the eldest and the second child by hand, and had already walked to the gate of the palace, and was about to leave the palace when he met Lu Xuanbo.

"I've seen the king!"

"It just so happens that we are also going out of the palace, let's talk as we go!"

Zhao Junsheng let Mulan and the children get into the carriage, and he and Lu Xuanbo followed slowly behind.

"Tell me, is it that the operation over there in Luoyang was unsuccessful?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Lu Xuanbo clenched his fists and said: "It turns out that the king has guessed, yes, the assassination failed, Li Shun's side is now heavily guarded, and our people can't get close at all!" ”

"I'll know by looking at your face!" Zhao Junsheng thought about it after speaking, and said after a while: "Since the assassination can't be carried out, let's cancel it, and make great efforts to find out what Li Shun and the Yunzhong Imperial Court have planned!" ”

"Yes, the minister will not disturb the king's visit to Yaxing!"
