Chapter 131: The Infinite Possibilities of Assassins

Chapter 131: The Infinite Possibilities of Assassins: Where is Anfang Liu's Mansion?

In fact, it is not easy for Chang'an City to find a specific official's residence. There are dozens of large and small squares, and each square is inhabited by at least hundreds of officials, ranging from high to low. If it weren't for the kind of high-ranking officials who were well-known in the court, then if you wanted to find his apartment, you would have to ask the gatekeeper at the door of the wall.

However, when Li Xian asked about Liu Renyuan's mansion at the gate of Yong'an Fang, the two gatekeepers shook their heads at the same time, and one of them even said in an extremely firm tone that Liu Renyuan's mansion in Chang'an was not in Yong'an Fang at all, but in Yongning Fang. Although it was only a one-word difference, the location was far away, so Li Xian couldn't help but be a little confused.

"This son, if you want to talk about the mansions of those nobles in Chang'an, no one knows better than us. Follow the path pointed out by the villain, and you will definitely be able to find General Liu's mansion, you can't be wrong! ”

Faced with such a sworn answer, Li Xian began to wonder if he had heard it wrong. However, he hadn't walked long to turn back, but he happened to meet the group of people just now on the road.

"Sixth Son!" When the man in the lead saw Li Xian's surprised appearance, he learned the crux of the problem after a little thought, and after dismounting to salute, he explained apologetically, "Because there is too much discussion in the court now, and the general has just encountered some trouble and needs to recuperate, so he moved out of Yongning Fang and found a temporary apartment, presumably the gatekeeper doesn't know yet." ”

What does the so-called talking too much mean, Li Xian naturally understood, and nodded with a smile at the moment. However, the guards did not take the road he had just taken, but deliberately made a big circle and entered Yong'an Fang through the gate on the other side, which couldn't help but make him vigilant. Just looking at this kind of vigilant posture, it is enough to see that the so-called assassin is not pretentious, but I am afraid that Liu Renyuan is really injured a lot.

The so-called temporary residence, in fact, does not seem to have any temporary appearance, and it looks like it is also a rich and noble atmosphere, a magnificent scene. Since he was accompanied by guards, no one came up to interrogate Li Xian's identity. Smoothly entered the atrium, only to find that this place was full of families with knives in their waists, and he couldn't help but feel even more awe-inspiring.

"The sixth prince didn't know that there were more than a dozen assassins who entered the Yongningfang mansion that night, and they seemed to be familiar with the terrain, and in addition to stabbing my general, they also killed several domestic servants and concubines. Afterwards, the general not only moved out of there temporarily, but also had to send more people to defend it, which is what it is today. ”

In the dignified capital of the Tang Dynasty, there were more than a dozen assassins who entered the mansion of the imperial court general to assassinate?

If it weren't for Li Xian's anger on the face of the head of the guard, Liu Shan, who didn't seem to be fake, I'm afraid he would have thought it was a joke. After all, he hadn't been alone for a day or two, and he hadn't even had a single person who dared to ram into him, let alone an assassin.

Passing through the atrium, the guards who led the way were reduced from the eight just now to one Liu Shan, and the other seven were scattered. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xian asked about the incident in the West Market just now, but the other party immediately showed a look of bitter hatred.

I didn't know what was going on, but someone suddenly rushed out and stabbed Liu Da in the waist. Although the assassin was killed, Liu Da was also dead! Those Goguryeo thieves of the dog day, who else will be unfavorable to the general besides them! ”

Li Xian listened to it, but did not answer. The path under his feet was almost at the end, and he saw a quiet small building not far away. However, the dozen or so heavily armed guards outside brought an aura of slaughter, which looked extremely disproportionate. Xu had already been informed, so as soon as he approached, a group of people bowed down in unison, but they didn't make a sound.

All the generals have such guards, so although Li Xian thinks that these people are of good quality, there is nothing strange about it. Liu Shan sent him into the door, and quietly retreated by himself, while Li Xian saw that the main hall was quiet and unoccupied, but there were many inscriptions hanging on the wall, so he admired them one by one.

Just when he was amazed by the word "Wu" in one of them, he suddenly remembered a voice like a bell behind him: "Your Highness is here, please forgive me for not being able to go out to greet him, it's really a sin!" ”

Li Xian turned his head to look, but saw Liu Renyuan standing behind him, his left hand hanging down obviously weakly, his face was pale, and his spirit was a little sluggish. Seeing that Liu Ren was still about to salute, he hurriedly waved his hand to stop, personally helped him to sit down, and then said apologetically: "If it weren't for the few guards of General Liu on the street today, I wouldn't have thought that General Liu would be injured like this." I don't know what the doctor said, but what's the big deal? ”

Liu Renyuan bowed down respectfully and thanked Li Xian for his support, and then sighed angrily: "It's just a small injury, but it's not caused by a fair fight on the battlefield, but it was injured by a charming villain, it's really hateful!" ”

"Today I also helped your family catch an assassin on the street, but unfortunately he committed suicide and died. By the way, General Liu has what kind of eyebrows do you have for these assassins? ”

Liu Renyuan is a straightforward person, and after a little thought, he shook his head and said, "Now Baekje has been."

Only Goguryeo was left and still refused to accept the indoctrination. After repeated conquests, it is possible for me to send assassins. It's just that what I can't figure out is why I didn't take advantage of the fact that I was in Baekje and chased after this Chang'an City, aren't they afraid of His Majesty's wrath? ”

Since this emperor Lao Tzu is angry, although you, Lao Liu, are injured, how can you escape the impeachment of the courtiers?

"General Liu is the governor of the Xiongjin Prefecture and is stationed in Baekje, so it is naturally possible to say that there are many people in Haidong who want to get General Liu's life as soon as possible." Li Xian said slowly, while looking at Liu Renyuan's face with the corner of his eye, seeing that he only frowned slightly, he struck while the iron was hot, "So, the possibility of this assassin is actually different from inside and outside. ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little quiet for a while, and it took a long time before he heard Liu Renyuan spit out a sentence: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"Outside, whether it's Goguryeo, Silla, or even Baekje, it's possible to do this kind of thing. Needless to say, Goguryeo, that is what my Tang Dynasty soldiers are referring to, plus General Liu is stationed in Haidong, so it is natural to have hatred. As for Silla, they were bent on unifying the Three Kingdoms, but unexpectedly, our Tang Dynasty did not really die Baekje, and there was dissatisfaction, and it was not impossible to send a few assassins to blame. It is Baekje, it was my Tang Dynasty that caused its destruction, and now although it is still breathing, the national strength has plummeted, and there may be someone who instigated some people to take a different decision. ”

Li Xianyang said a lot of things, seeing that Liu Renyuan was more and more surprised, he couldn't help but feel smug in his heart - and didn't look at whose apprentice he was, Li Ji had always been prepared to go to Goryeo to fight, so there were a lot of maps in the study, and when I usually gave him examples, I was all talking about the Three Kingdoms. If he can't even fool Liu Renyuan now, then he will have learned in vain after following Li Ji for so many years.

"The last time I saw General Xingguo Gongsu, I once heard him say that His Royal Highness King Pei had learned martial arts and the art of war from the British Duke for many years, and he had seen His Highness's wonderful poem, but I didn't expect His Highness to have such an opinion on the situation in Haidong!"

Liu Renyuan stood up as he spoke, walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly sighed heavily: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the situation in Haidong is changeable, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla have their own plans, and it is very difficult to deal with them, especially Goguryeo is even more ambitious." A certain military minister, although he has a lot of experience in marching and fighting, but now he is stationed in Baekje, facing not only the military and political affairs but also the civil affairs, if it were not for Liu Zhengze......"

As if sensing that he had missed his mouth, he showed a little frustration, but in the end he said calmly: "I know that Liu Zhengze was deposed in the past, but since he arrived in Haidong, he has always accurately grasped the situation and helped me a lot." When I came back to report on my work, there was a lot of criticism from the DPRK and China, and there were even Silla envoys who slandered me in front of His Majesty, and this assassination was really ......."

This Liu Renyuan is really cool until he is almost honest!

Li Xian showed an obviously disheartened look when he saw this one, who didn't know that such a person was only suitable for fighting on the battlefield, but not for standing in the court with intricate personnel relationships. It's just that such a person is really trustworthy, and what should be understood must be mentioned.

"General Liu, I just said the outside, but the internal factors haven't been said yet." Seeing that he had successfully pulled back Liu Renyuan's attention, he showed a meaningful smile, "You just mentioned Liu Renliang Liu Zhengzhi, then you should know who he was deposed because of back then, and who is the one who attacks you the most in the court now?" Taking a step back, General Liu, as a general, was assassinated as soon as he returned to Chang'an, and this spread that maybe others would have another crime. Therefore, this seemingly simple assassin actually has infinite possibilities. ”

Seeing that Liu Renyuan's eyes widened all of a sudden, and the blue tendons on his forehead were about to burst out, he knew that this time it was a great stimulation for others, so he hurriedly comforted him with a few words such as paying attention to his body, so he got up with a smile and said goodbye.

He just gave all possible guesses, and didn't point the finger at anyone, as for what people think, he doesn't care. If he guessed correctly, he was afraid that Liu Ren would be summoned in the next few days.

Out of this big mansion, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Seeing that it was about to get dark, he had to gently pinch the horse's belly and speed up, but he had only been trotting for a long time, and suddenly there was a galloping sound of horses' hooves in his ears. Before he could look back, the chasing wind under him suddenly reacted on his own, not to mention the sudden increase in speed, and suddenly deviated from the galloping route just now. And at this moment, his ears caught another hurried sound.

Whoosh –

Although he only caught a glimpse during the gallop, he still broke out in a cold sweat. The thing that was so deep in the ground that its tail was still trembling was an arrow!
