Zhang Bang took Xiao Shisanlang to turn left and right, and went straight to the house in the backyard that secretly developed gunpowder and firearms.

Because Zhang Xuan had just killed Zhang San with a cane in a fit of rage, the atmosphere in this mansion was very tense and miserable. Several miscellaneous servants knelt on the ground in fear, and did not dare to raise their heads when they shouted "Grand Governor".

Zhang Xuan stared at the miscellaneous servants who were kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently, "Get up, don't think about it, as long as you don't leak your secrets, this official will never treat you badly...... From this day onwards, wages are doubled. [Search for the latest updates..]

The miscellaneous servants were surprised and delighted, and thanked them again and again.

Zhang Bang and Xiao Shisanlang walked into one of the "workshops", picked up a half-finished rocket and handed it to Xiao Shisanlang with a smile: "Brother, look at this"

Xiao Shisanlang was stunned, there was such a secret courtyard hidden in the backyard of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which was beyond his expectations. However, he knew that this was Zhang Xuan's secret, so he didn't think much about it.

"This is He Flail ......" Xiao Shisanlang looked at the object in his hand and asked with some curiosity.

"Brother, this thing is called a rocket. Filled with gunpowder, connected to the external lead, ignite the lead, this thing can fly into the sky, both the sharpness of the arrow, and the combustion of the fire, if it is used in the army, the power can be imagined. Zhang Shu smiled and explained a few words casually.

Xiao Shisanlang was startled, and immediately came to his senses: "Zizhan, could it be that this thing has attracted covetousness?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xuan said in a deep voice, "That assassin sneaked into the mansion some time ago, trying to get the gunpowder recipe and firearms blueprints from those three idiot thieves...... It's hateful that these three idiots and thieves dared to conceal it and not report it, and almost trapped me in a place from which I could never recover. Just now, I've had someone kill this person with a rod! ”

Zhang Bang's voice became a little cold, and a trace of murderous aura could not be concealed.

Xiao Shisanlang sighed lightly, "Zizhan, if you create this thing, if the power is as you say, it is inevitable that people will covet it." But those who covet it must be very human, this ......"

"What my brother said is very true." Zhang Xuan smiled coldly: "Brother, I have roughly guessed who the main messenger behind the assassin is, and I bother my brother to go with me to arrest the assassin!" ”

Although Zhang Xuan has stepped down as general of Yulinwei and Jinwuwei, and the more than 10,000 Yulinwei soldiers currently stationed in Jinggi are also about to go to Longshuo with Zhang Xuan to change defenses, but because Chen Xuanli and his troops and horses have arrived, the defense of the capital is still under Zhang Hao's control for the time being.

Zhang Xuan has always worn civilian official robes and rarely wears general armor. But today, Zhang Xuan was neatly draped, wearing a sword at his waist, and sitting murderously in the main hall of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and two columns of military attachés such as generals and captains under Yulin Wei were waiting for him.

was assassinated twice in a row, although he was safe and sound, the anger and ruthlessness in Zhang Hao's heart were stimulated. He knew that if he didn't make a quick decision, he would be in big trouble in the future to take down the two assassins and the main culprit behind them.

Especially as ......,

Zhang Bang looked around at everyone, staring at the generals under the hall, his eyes were gloomy and awe-inspiring.

The first person on the left is the new governor of Longshuo and the envoy of Longshuo's soldiers and horses, Feng Changqing, although Feng Changqing has not yet arrived, but Zhang Xuan summoned him and dared not arrive. The first person on the right is Yu Lin Weilang General Gu Xi, and under Gu Xi is Xiao Shisanlang, the captain of Zhaowu.

Zhang Bang was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "Lord Feng!" ”

"The Grand Duke, the lower officials are here!"

"The assassin is causing trouble to the capital division, and the duty of the official at the feet of the Son of Heaven does not dare to slack off." Zhang Wei waved his hand, "Lord Feng and Zhou Changshi led an army of 5,000, and immediately went out of the city to surround the Yuzhen Guan Tuan, and no one was allowed to be released!" Those who disrespect orders and trespass on the military formation will be killed immediately! ”

Zhang Bang's voice was very cold.

Feng Changqing's heart trembled, he couldn't figure out why Zhang Xuan wanted to surround Yuzhenguan when he wanted to arrest the murderer. Although this Yuzhen princess Li Zhiying was deprived of the title of princess, after all, she is still the imperial sister of the emperor, and the elders in the royal family have a great influence, how can the Yuzhen Temple where she is located be surrounded?

But Feng Changqing did not dare to hesitate, and immediately went out to take the order.

He had already seen that Zhang Xuan was at a point of outbreak, and at this time, if he questioned his military order, it would definitely cause Zhang Xuan's great disgust, and even an angry backlash.

Feng Changqing hurried away and took the blade edge Yu Lin Wei with him. A sneer floated at the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, he didn't believe it, no matter how high your martial arts are, no matter how good you are, no matter how good you are, but the heroes can't stand the crowd, thousands of soldiers and horses will surround Yuzhenguan, but see how you escape?

The reason why he suspected that the assassin would hide in the Jade Zhenguan was because Zhang Xuan accidentally discovered that Li Tengkong's black clothes were covered with a layer of red Taoist robes, and the incense used by Li Tengkong, Zhang Xuan was very "familiar" with the Jade Zhenguan, and those female Taoist priests basically used this. In addition, Zhang Dispatch knew that Li Tengkong was Li Linfu's daughter, and Princess Yuzhen must also be acquaintances, and she and her division went to Beijing to assassinate, and the safest and most hidden place to settle was Yuzhenguan.

Of course, this is just an inference.

However, at present, the matter is urgent, and Zhang Xuan can't think about it. Under the banner of arresting the murderer, everything is in power.

When Li Heng came, he asked Li Heng for instructions.

Zhang Bang pondered for a while, then waved his hand to Gu Xi and said, L, General Gu Lang, you and Xiao Xiaowei will take 1,000 people from Yu Linwei to follow me to the mansion of Xilushan in the city......"

An Lushan's mansion in Chang'an is also one of the most powerful mansions in Chang'an City, and its model and momentum are no less than Zhang Xuan's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

More than 1,000 Yu Lin Wei suddenly galloped to encircle Anfu, and the guards of Anfu were taken aback and hurried to An Qingzong, the eldest son of An Lushan, who lived in Chang'an.

An Qingzong hurriedly went out with a few subordinates, and saw Zhang Xian standing alone under the steps in front of the mansion, wearing armor and holding a sword, with many guards in front of him and behind him, with a cold and murderous expression.

I couldn't help but hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, and bowed his hand and said, "Governor Dadu, An didn't know that the Governor of Dadu had arrived, and he missed the welcome, which was really rude!" ”

An Lushan's eldest son has a relatively weak personality and is disliked by An Lushan, so he sent him to live in Chang'an, first, to take care of An's business and trading industry, and secondly, he also mixed an ordinary clerical job in the imperial court, which can be regarded as the spokesperson of the An family in Chang'an.

Zhang Bang glanced at An Qingzong, and said indifferently, "The eldest prince, this official is here and wants to see the second son!" ”

An Qingzong's heart trembled, and he reluctantly smiled, "Metropolitan Governor, my second brother is still in Fanyang, this."

"The eldest son, is the second prince really not in Jingshi?" Zhang Xuan smiled coldly, "According to the return, the second son has entered Beijing and ......, so let's invite the second son out to see him!" ”

An Qingzong's face immediately became ugly, and the corners of his mouth trembled, and he couldn't guess Zhang Xuan's true intentions.

Zhang Xuan's cold gaze swept over this person, knowing that he was the "waste" of the An Lushan family, and some confidential matters An Lushan would definitely not let him know, if the main messenger behind the assassin was really An Jia, it could only be An Qingzong, not An Qingxu.

An Qingzong may really not know the inside story.

"This official is under the edict of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Prison Kingdom to arrest the assassins. If the eldest prince doesn't cooperate, then the official can only let Yu Linwei enter and search......" Zhang Xuan waved his hand indifferently.

An Qingzong was a little flustered, and subconsciously turned his head to look inside the mansion.

An Qingxu is here, and he has been here for a while. It's just that An Qingxu is here to do something, An Qingzong doesn't know too well.

Could it be that ......, An Qingzong was startled, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body: Could it be that the person who assassinated Zhang Bang was sent by the second brother?

At this time, An Qingxu strode out of the mansion in a gorgeous costume, and laughed loudly, "An is here, I've seen the governor!" ”

An Qingxu walked to the face, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and he covered it up well.

He was ordered by An Lushan to enter Beijing this time to inquire about the truth of the imperial court, and inadvertently got a secret report that Zhang Xuan was developing a very powerful firearm, so he was very interested, so there was the next thing.

However, assassinate Zhang Xuan! But it was not An Qingxu's order, but Li Tengkong's assertion. An Qingxu didn't have the idea of killing Zhang Xuan, he just wanted to get the formula for the firearm.

Li Tengkong's teacher Fengming Daogu is a descendant of the royal family of the former Sui Dynasty, and has always had a national hatred for the Li royal family. This time, Fengming Daogu entered Beijing to protect An Qingxu, and Li Tengkong followed.

Unexpectedly, Li Tengkong couldn't hold back, and actually assassinated Zhang without authorization, disrupting An Qingxu's plan. An Qingxu saw that the matter had come to this point, so he simply didn't do anything, and sent Fengming Daogu to kidnap Zhang Bang, ready to coerce Zhang Bang to hand over the formula.

However, Li Tengkong actually let Zhang Xuan escape.

This made An Qingxu feel bad, and immediately had the idea of fleeing Chang'an. It's a pity that he didn't have time to act, so Zhang Xuan brought people here.

"Dadu Governor, my father learned that His Majesty was ill, and sent An Mou into Beijing to present the best century-old ginseng ......, and after An Mou arrived in Beijing, he heard that Dadu Governor was newly married, and was about to go to the palace to congratulate...... Hehe. An Qingxu's heart flashed, he didn't think that Zhang had caught him with any tricks.

Zhang Xuan was silent, suddenly stepped forward, and said coldly in An Qingxu's ear, "Second son, hand over the two assassins, this official is not for himself, this matter is just that." ”

An Qingxu's face changed greatly, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "The words of the Metropolitan Governor, An Mou can't understand!" ”

"Second son, really don't understand?" Zhang Shu smiled coldly: "If the second prince really doesn't understand, wait for the official's subordinates to take down the two assassins from Yuzhenguan, and then talk to the second prince." ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes, staring at An Qingxu and slowly raising the sword in his right hand.

The corners of An Qingxu's mouth trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Metropolitan Governor...... Ann, I see. ”

An Qingxu was scared. Really scared.

Zhang Bang has always been known for Lei Xia's methods and ruthlessness, and An Qingxu understands that if Zhang Bang really has the evidence, it will be just a gesture to destroy himself.

Zhang Bang smiled secretly in his heart. He came with a fierce command, but it was just a deception.

The mastermind behind the scenes is An Qingxu, and he is just guessing and inferring. Because the people who are interested in his gunpowder and firearms are all over the country, and there is probably only An Lushan.

And An Qingxu's performance obviously proves everything. (To be continued)
