Looking at Zhang Xuan, he stopped talking.

Zhang Xun was silent.

"Brother, do you still have an enemy?" Xiao Shisanlang said in his heart, this kind of swordsman is definitely not something that ordinary people can drive, if it is not for the deep hatred, the swordsman with this kind of strange means will never be so cheap as to be the assassin.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a long time, and then smiled bitterly, "Brother, as an official, I have offended some people, but in my opinion, this is probably not enough to become an enemy of life and death, so I have to send an assassin to put me to death." If you want to talk about the enemy, only the dead Rong King Li Wan is alone,"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yi suddenly thought of Li Lin, the king of Ning, Princess Yongmu and Gao Lishi, who were given to death by the old emperor not long ago.

Princess Yongmu married Wang Xuan, and after Wang Xuan's death, she became a monk and had no children for life. And Gao Lishi is a peerless eunuch, not to mention.

As for the lineage of Li Lin, the king of Xining, there are some descendants, could it be that the descendants of Li Lin, the king of Ning, bought the assassin to assassinate?

Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

And Xiao Shisanlang obviously thought of this, so he looked up at Zhang Zheng and said in a deep voice, "Brother, is it the descendant of Li Lin, the king of Ning?" ”

Zhang Shu sighed lightly. Although Li Lin was given death by the old emperor, the root cause was still in the hands of Zhang Yan. But Zhang Xuan was at ease, because Li Lin wanted to attack him, and he couldn't sit still.

Li Lin has three sons and one daughter, but because of Li Lin, the title has been taken away, and it can only be regarded as the lowest level in the royal family. And after this generation, Li Lin's branch will completely fall out of the ranks of the royal family and become an ordinary nobleman.

"Brother, let a certain family go and investigate!" Xiao Shisanlang was about to leave immediately, but was stopped by Zhang Zhen.

"Brother, even if the ♀ assassin fails to assassinate once, I'm afraid there will be a second attempt. Sooner or later, it will be out of the way. Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, "The safety in this mansion is annoying that Brother Lao bothered to come and spread the news that someone had assassinated the official!" ”

The news of Zhang Xian's assassination soon spread throughout Chang'an City, and a thousand waves were raised.

Hundreds of soldiers of Yulin Wei were dispatched to set up guards inside and outside the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and stand by in battle.

When the news reached the palace, Li Heng was discussing with Chen Xian and Yang Guozhong≡ and was preparing to be released as a feudal town, so he almost did not enter the palace to participate in the deliberations of the central court, and the original three-person "discussion group" was replaced by Li Heng, Yang Guozhong and Chen Xian.

Li Fuguo hurriedly walked in, leaned in Li Heng's ear and whispered a few words.

When Li Fuguo got the news, he was excited. He knew that he had offended Zhang Xuan to death, and as long as Zhang Xuan took the energy to "deal with" him, he would definitely die.

At this moment, the assassin who assassinated Zhang Yan appeared, and it is said that Li Fuguo, a high-ranking swordsman, naturally gloated.

Li Heng's face changed, and he was shocked, "Yang Xiang, Chen Xiang, there are assassins who sneaked into the Dadu Governor's Mansion to assassinate Zhang Xuan!" ”

Chen Xian and Yang Guozhong were also taken aback, glanced at each other, and were silent.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, he did not hesitate to sneak into the palace of the important ministers of the current dynasty to assassinate, which not only means that the assassin is strong in means and "bold in art", but also means that the assassin has a deep hatred with Zhang Yan. But at Zhang Zao's age, he has not been in the dynasty for a long time, and if he wants to say that he offends people, it is because of the two rebellions before and after, the former Rong Wang Li Wan, and the latter Ning Wang Li Lin.

In other words, if Zhang Zao really has an enemy, then it can basically be concluded that he is a member of the royal family.

The biggest suspect is the descendant of Li Lin, the king of Sining.

Yang Guozhong and Chen Xian thought of this section, and Li Heng certainly thought of it.

As a result, Lee Hyung's face became ugly.

After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Yang Xiang, the Dali Temple of Chuanzhao and the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion immediately began to search the whole city, arrest the murderer, send troops to defend the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and strengthen the precept of Dad."

"Chen Xiangchuan ordered the palace to let all the heirs of the emperor's lineage enter the palace and talk to them."

Yang Guozhong hesitated, but still didn't say what was in his heart. According to his idea, he still took the trouble to search for something, and quickly arrested Li Lin's descendants in Dali Temple, and tortured them to extract confessions, and the truth was revealed to the world.

At this time, if you want to say who in the DPRK and China is most concerned about and concerned about Zhang Yan's safety, it is Yang Guozhong.

Because he knew very well in his heart that once Zhang Yan was gone, Li Heng would definitely attack him, and at worst, it would also weaken his power and take away the power of most of the Yang family.

Whether Yang Guozhong accepts it or not, the current Zhang Rein and the Yang family have become a political alliance that advances and retreats together, and has become a grasshopper tied to a rope, with both loss and glory.

The atmosphere in Chang'an City began to be tense again, and the soldiers of Yulinwei and the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion searched back and forth in the city, and immediately interrogated suspicious people when they saw them, and made a chicken and dog jump in the city.

Although the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was heavily guarded, Zhang Zhuan's mind was very calm, what should he do.

On the second day, according to customs and rules, Zhang Xuan and Cui Ying wanted to return to the door. In other words, Cui Ying, a daughter who has just gotten married, wants to take her husband back to her parents' house to visit relatives.

There is an interesting rule here, called "lower son-in-law".

"Son-in-law worship pavilion day, fù family relatives fù female Biji, each with a cane to beat the mandarin duck for the fun" son-in-law back to the door, when the father-in-law and mother-in-law, the woman's relatives and friends are there, with a wooden cane, bamboo cane to beat the son-in-law for fun, until the son-in-law is beaten dizzy before stopping, this can be understood as a demonstration of the woman, the Tang people in this regard is really a bit of equality between men and women, since there is a hole room to play tricks on the bride, then there must be a game of son-in-law being beaten when he returns to the door.

It's just that because an assassin stabbed Zhang this time, this rule is no longer over. The relatives of the Cui family knew that Zhang Xuan was in a bad mood, and no one wanted to touch Zhang Xuan's moldy head at this moment.

In Cui Ying's opinion, something is special, and this is just a gift to the door. But Zhang Xuan refused, he didn't want to mess up his life's events because of an assassin, and he didn't want to leave an inexplicable regret for Cui Yingxin's marriage.

So, "I insisted on coming to Cui's house." It's just that there are hundreds of soldiers guarding the front and back, and Xiao Shisanlang is even more close to protecting him.

Originally, Zhang Xuan had to stay at his father-in-law's house for a dinner party before he could return, but the safety of Xiao Shisanlang and Cui Ying's Zhang Zhuang repeatedly urged him to leave, and Zhang Xuan had no choice but to leave Cui's mansion at dusk.

From Cui's house to Zhang Xuan's Dadu Governor's Mansion, you have to pass through the bustling West Market, and then turn into Suzaku Street" and then arrive at the Dadu Governor's Mansion near the Daci'en Temple, and the journey takes about half an hour.

Hundreds of fierce soldiers opened the road in front, guarded in the back, and dozens of servants in the middle, Xiao Shisanlang and Zhang Hao rode side by side, and Cui Ying rode in a car.

Xiao Shisanlang suggested that Zhang Xuan take the car, but Zhang Yan shared a car with Cui Ying, in case the female swordsman came to assassinate again, it would inevitably hurt his mother, so he repeatedly refused and insisted on driving.

The heavily guarded carriage and horse procession quickly entered Suzaku Street and advanced a few hundred meters to the south, and then turned east and headed towards the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was already in sight, many soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel that this time there is no danger again."

But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew into the air, and its figure hung upside down in mid-air, and the cold sword in his hand stabbed straight towards Xiao Shisanlang, who was riding on a horse.

Tyre!

Xiao Shisanlang drew his sword and jumped up from his horse to meet the attack, his movements were light and in one go, and the speed was so fast that people could only see a brilliant flow.

Bang Bang!

The assassin and Xiao Shisanlang's sword confronted each other, making a deafening sound, and the two fought each other in mid-air, but for a while, it was difficult to distinguish between the opponents.

"Protect the Grand Governor!"

The captain who led the army shouted loudly, and hundreds of soldiers immediately formed a circle with spears in their hands, "Guarding Zhang Zhuang and Cui Ying's carriage in it."

Zhang Shu rode on the horse, looking anxiously at Xiao Shisanlang, who could no longer distinguish between the enemy and the black-clothed swordsman in mid-air, and his heart became more and more solemn.

At this time, he calmed down strangely.

Hundreds of soldiers guarded, Xiao Shisanlang was closely protected, if he was still succeeded by the assassins in such a high-level alert, whether he was outside or in the mansion, it made no difference, that was his destined ending, fear or panic had no effect.

But no one expected that another black shadow would shoot out between the lightning and the stone fire, "The soldiers only felt that it was dark in front of them, and a female swordsman in black wearing a gauze hat had already ridden Zhang Xuan's horse," and a sharp dagger was across Zhang Xuan's neck.

"If you move again, you will die!"

Zhang Xuan suffered a sharp accident, and his body had to struggle even more, not only was the cold air around his neck, but a cold voice also came into his ears.

His whole body shook, and he stopped moving.

"Big nose!"

"And an Assassin!"

The soldiers shouted and turned their spears upside down, and the black-clothed female swordsman suddenly grabbed the horse's belly, holding the reins in one hand, and the dagger in the other hand was still across Zhang Zhen's neck, and shouted sharply: Get out of the way, otherwise, Zhang Zhuang will definitely die! ”

Zhang Xuan was held hostage, and the soldiers hesitated to retreat for fear of hurting Zhang Xuan.

"The Grand Duke!" Xiao Shisanlang shouted sharply, struggling to block the man in black with a sword, and then flew towards this side. The man in black didn't hesitate, and immediately entangled again.

This person is on par with Xiao Shisanlang, so desperately entangled, it is difficult for Xiao Shisanlang to get out of Xiao Shisanlang's heart This regret, he never expected that there were two assassins, and they were both swordsmen!

At this time, the female assassin had already taken Zhang Zhuang hostage and suddenly rushed out of the encirclement, galloping into an alley. The soldiers covered up and killed, but only a magnificent horse was left in the place, and the black-clothed female swordsman and Zhang Zheng on the horse had long since disappeared.

When Zhang Hao came to his senses, he found himself in a dark room, which was lit only by a small oil lamp that was flickering and extinguished, and the light was very dim.

Zhang moved, and found that he was firmly bound by the rope, so he stopped struggling uselessly.

Outside, there was a conversation between two women, one slightly old, the other crisp and indifferent.

"Master, why didn't you let me kill this guy?"

"Kong'er, let's come to Chang'an to do big things, this person is the person named by the son to see, and he can't die for the time being!"

"Then, the slave went to kill Yang Guozhong......"

"Kong'er, why are you so ignorant? Killing Yang Guozhong's dog thief is like looking for things, but at this time, we have to do big things first, and we shouldn't make too much noise. Besides, the prince has also instructed that Yang Guozhong cannot be killed for the time being. The old voice rebuked in a low voice.

The young woman's voice fell silent. @。
