"The Wu clan has not heard from anyone," said a palace man standing in front of Wang Chengen, "We have been staring at her, and no matter where she goes, there are people staring at her." ”

Wang Chengen nodded, "Continue to stare at her, the Wu family was sent to His Majesty by Zhang Chao, and it must be the eyeliner arranged by Zhang Chao to His Majesty's side." His Majesty kept her just to lure the snake out of the hole, but I didn't expect that this Wu clan was very cautious, and she didn't act rashly for so long, but our family believes that she will act sooner or later. ”

"Remember, your task is to keep an eye on her, but don't act rashly, what our family wants is to know her connections in the palace, and the more you find, the better."

The Six Gates were also brilliant, but unfortunately now they are becoming less and less popular with the emperor, and his status as Wang Chengen has plummeted. Wang Chengen never believed that the Wu family would be innocent, she must have been the eyeliner arranged by Zhang Chao.

But after waiting for so long, and not seeing the Wu clan's action, Wang Chengen's patience was almost over. The news that Zhang Chao's daughter is still alive, she didn't spread it, the emperor asked her to approve the chapter on her behalf, so many court secrets, she didn't spread it either, is she really not Zhang Chao's eyeliner?

No, by no means, he refused to believe that Wu was innocent.

Six doors have been too derelict lately.

Zhang Chao's family members have all fled back to Yangzhou, and Zhang Chao's second daughter is even about to marry Cheng Qian. The gold and silver that have disappeared in the vaults of the various branches of Li Kee Qian Zhuang have not been found so far, and even the assassin killers sent out have not been heard from.

All kinds of signs made him more and more convinced that in the darkness, there was indeed a more powerful mysterious organization, this organization was huge in scale, existed for a long time, and even its own six doors were very likely to have been infiltrated by them.

And the only one who can have such a team and have been hiding so well is definitely Zhang Chao. Since Zhang Chao had dared to train an army of 50,000 in Nanyang before, it was not unusual for Zhang Chao to secretly establish an organization like Six Gates. He was just amazed at how Zhang Chao did all this, and he didn't know it.

He only felt the existence of such a mysterious organization now, but he didn't even find its name.

Wang Chengen came to the emperor's imperial study with a lot of thoughts.

The Emperor was standing in front of a large glass mirror, and several chamberlains were putting on armor for the Emperor. A set of glittering gold-plated full-body plate armor.

Several of the chamberlains were sweating profusely, and it turned out that the armor didn't fit well.

The emperor had a belly, and although his face was much thinner, his belly was bigger. When this armor was made, it was tailored to the emperor's figure, but now it cannot be worn.

Li Shimin also found out about this embarrassment, and he angrily snatched a piece of plate armor from the hand of the chamberlain and threw it aside.

"Let the Ordnance Supervision and Armor Bureau build another set for me!"

The chamberlain hurriedly responded.

"Stand down."

Li Shimin lifted the plate armor on his body, walked to the side and sat down directly, he drew his sword out of its sheath, crossed it on his lap, and looked at it like a sword in autumn water.

"Wang Chengen, how is the investigation?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Wu family has not moved."

Li Shimin's thumb gently scraped the blade of the sword, feeling the sharpness of the sword.

"Be patient, this Wu clan doesn't look young, but she's absolutely smart and cunning, that's a fox, she must be Zhang Chao's best spy, and I'm staring to death. I believe that sooner or later she will show her feet. In addition, I also keep an eye on other people in the palace, I always feel that someone is peeping at me, and there must be a lot of Zhang Chao's eyeliner in this palace. ”

"Remember, don't be in a hurry to startle the snake, you have to follow the vine and catch it all."

Hanking, suburbs.

Ke Qing listened to the report of his subordinates, "It seems that we are being targeted, so be more careful during this time." ”

Ke Qing asked his father puzzled, "Why didn't you just kill the emperor?" ”

Ke Qing waved his men back.

"Qing'er, it's too brainless for you to say this, why do you want to kill the emperor?"

"If we kill the emperor, the crown prince will not be able to ascend the throne, and the court will have no leader, so we will be able to successfully attack Hanjing." Ke Qingdao.

Ke Qing shook his head.

"You think the question is too simple, kill the emperor, who will succeed him? It's the crown prince, who is the prince? He was the son of the emperor. Even if their father and son are not on good terms now, if King Zhao kills the emperor, it will be a murder. Not only will it make the world scold, but this is a big handle in the hands of the prince, if the prince wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, this is a good reason. ”

"Besides, we are on the side of the Qing monarch, and we are not crusading against the faint monarch, how can we assassinate the emperor?"

"In that case, then why did we go to all the lengths to send an alchemy monk over?"

"The emperor was already taking pills, and many people know about it, what does it matter to us."

"After taking the pill, at most I was in low spirits and had some hallucinations, not poisoning. The elixir of life cannot be eaten, and the Flying Pill can eat the dead, but this collection of medicinal materials and refining the Dan does not know the year of the monkey. ”

Ke Qing is Zhang Chao's confidant and understands what Zhang Chao means.

It is impossible to kill the emperor, Zhang Chao has no reason to kill the emperor, killing the emperor will not do him any good, and there will be endless troubles. Sending the elixir of immortality to the emperor only made the emperor's brain more confused.

"Dad, I heard that the martial artist is now deeply trusted by the emperor in the palace, and has even asked her to review the chapter on her behalf, and she has access to many confidential and important matters, should we send someone to contact her and let her pass on the news for us?"

"No!"

Ke Qing waved his hand.

"The Wu clan is just a smoke bomb sent into the palace by King Zhao, in order to confuse the emperor and the six doors. Don't forget how the Wu clan entered the palace in the first place, do you think the emperor will be defenseless? Maybe we have been waiting for the net to be opened, just waiting for us to go to the joint, and then we can follow the vine and touch the melon, and catch it all. Although we have eyeliner in the palace, it is not easy to expose it. ”

"Wu Clan, don't worry about her, anyway, she doesn't know about us at all, even if the emperor doesn't have the patience to interrogate her, he can't judge anything, just let her attract attention there."

After a pause, Ke Qing asked his daughter, "Have you found the burial place of Xia Huaniang's mother and son?" King Zhao meant to let us send the bones back. ”

Ke Qing shook his head, "It's strange to say, we've been investigating for a long time, but no one knows where Xia Hua's mother and son are buried, and we haven't even found out where they were executed." The few messages I got before didn't match at all. I have some suspicions, maybe Xia Hua is not dead at all. ”

Ke Qing frowned, "No, if the emperor didn't kill him, why did he say that?" ”

"But if you really kill it, it's impossible not to find out the slightest bit of news."

"If she hadn't secretly taken over with the Wu family, I guess she would have known the situation."

"It's too dangerous to connect with the Wu family." Ke Qing hesitated.

In the palace, there are indeed their eyeliner, but the movement in the palace is extremely inconvenient, and the transmission of information is also difficult, it is not an important thing, Ke Qing does not activate them, but just lets them lurk. There are also shadow people in the six doors, but many important news, they can't get their hands on it.

"Let's check this matter again, if Xia Hua is indeed still alive, then we will find a chance to connect with the Wu family. Be careful in this matter, the Wu clan is a trap. ”

"I understand."

Hebei.

Wei Chigong had already led the army to retreat, and when he was stationed in the camp, the supervising army broke into Wei Chigong's camp tent.

"General Wei Chi also asks for an explanation to a certain one, Lu Longsai will be able to break through immediately, why don't you hold on a little longer?"

As soon as Wei Chigong took off his armor, revealing the thick chest hair on his chest, he picked up the water bladder and drank it in a big gulp.

"Wei Chigong!"

Wei Chigong turned around, "Guo Jianjun, on the title, a certain is the king of Wei County." In terms of position, whether you are the governor of the Left Army or the general manager of the Hebei Provincial Marching Army, what qualifications do you have to call a certain person by his name? ”

The overseer snorted, "Chief Wei Chi, please give a reply to a certain one, otherwise, such and such will truthfully play Your Majesty, saying that you collaborated with the enemy and released thieves!" ”

"Hahaha! You write whatever you want, just do what you are told. His Majesty's will, let a certain immediately go south to defend Huaibei after receiving the order, and a certain will do what is wrong? ”

"Obviously, you will be able to capture Lulongsai immediately, but you withdraw your troops at this time, isn't it arsoning with the enemy?"

"You said you could take it right away, but you could take it? Lao Tzu has led his troops to fight for so many years, what big battles have not been fought? Lu Long fought for a few months, how many soldiers died, didn't you see it with your own eyes? How many times have you attacked the city, and in the end, you have not been beaten back? If Lu Longsai is so good at fighting, Lao Tzu still needs you to be verbose here? ”

The prison army was sprayed with spittle by Wei Chigong, but he couldn't refute it, he was indeed a layman when it came to fighting. But someone told him before that if he didn't retreat and attack again, he would definitely be able to fight.

"Captain Wang said that he could take it if he attacked again!"

Yu Chigong's face darkened, "Oh, is it? In this way, Ben Shuai will pull out 10,000 horses to Guo Jianjun and Wang Xiaowei, and Ben Shuai is not limited to whether you attack once or ten times, you go and take down a certain Lu Longsai. ”

Guo Jianjun stopped talking with a blue face, and he didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, so it was naturally impossible to let him go into battle.

"What, Guo Jianjun doesn't dare?"

"A certain is only a supervisor of the army, and has no right to command the army."

"Then you say an egg, get out!" Wei Chigong also did not give face to the prison army.

······

Louronse.

Wei Chi Baolin personally led a team of cavalry out of the customs to check, and his father Wei Chi Gong had indeed led the army to evacuate, and the empty camp was in a hurry.

Return to Kannai.

"It has indeed retreated."

Qin Qiong and Zhang Tiegun couldn't help but sigh, and they lived for the rest of their lives.

"Dashuai, although my father has withdrawn, and the Xi army and the Khitans have also gone south, the Yan and Murowei people in the north are still there, and there are still a lot of them."

Qin Qiong laughed, "As long as your father leaves, as for the Yan Ya cavalry and the Murowei cavalry, they may not be willing to come to storm our fortress." It's just that we can't afford to go back and clean them up now, and let them occupy our territory for nothing, these hugs! ”

"Sooner or later, they will be cleaned up and the territory will be recaptured." Zhang Tie said.
