It was dawn, and the assassination incident in Zetianmen last night quickly spread in Luoyang City, and people talked about it. Seeing a lot of soldiers driving into Luoyang City, the streets and alleys were full of soldiers patrolling and searching, many shops in Beishi were not open today, and the wharf was also blocked, which made the people a little panicked.

On the one hand, Xue Shao continued to check the water lords, and on the other hand, he sent officials to the crowded areas such as Tianjin Bridge and Beishi to post notices of the imperial court to stabilize the people's minds and maintain order.

As the sun was approaching noon, more than half of the people trapped in the imperial city had been evacuated. There were still a few thousand people left, sleepy, hungry and tired, and the adults were noisy and the children were crying, and for a while it was a bit of a fuss. Prime Minister Cen Changqian has been actively pacifying the people, but when it comes to this, he is a little difficult - it has been until this hour, and thousands of people should have to eat!

In a hurry, Cen Changqian thought of a way to temporarily requisition all the men and miscellaneous servants in the various official offices in the imperial city, and used his own food to cook a meal for these people. However, the center of the Tang Dynasty is not large, like Xue Shao's military department, there are generally only a dozen or twenty people working in the public office, and sometimes there are only a few people. Today's imperial court advocates frugality and luxury, and a maximum of three or five men and cooks in an official office can solve their problem of a light lunch. All the men and cooks of such a large and large government office combined, and they couldn't make a meal for these thousands of people for a while.

This also means that at noon today, the ministers and officials of the various government offices will not eat, and they will save food for the people. It can also solve a temporary urgent need to some extent.

However, Cen Changqian still miscalculated.

Because these right guard soldiers who were temporarily recruited into the city to guard also had to eat, they came in a hurry and urgently did not bring any firehead troops and food—and a few thousand mouths!

"How's that okay?" Cen Changqian was a little out of luck, so she had to come to Xue Shao to discuss a way.

Xue Shao was coming to the scene to concentrate on the inventory of the water owl, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, his eyes were red until he didn't think about it, and he had to worry about eating. He couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and said, "Cen Xiang, except for the inner court now, I'm afraid no one can solve the problem of eating tens of thousands of people in a moment." ”

"The inner court ......" Cen Changqian couldn't help but be stunned, "The inner court often raises twenty or thirty thousand people, and more than ninety percent of them are palace maids and chamberlains, and they do have this ability." But who has the ability to move them? Could it be that for such a small matter, you have to ask the Queen Mother for help? ”

Xue Shao pondered for a moment, and suddenly a spirit flashed in his heart, and said, "I'll go for a trip myself." ”

"No matter here?" Cen Changqian looked at the dense crowd of people with a little worry.

Xue Shao snorted at Dang Jinbi and the others, "For a while, they have no problem." ”

"Then the colt should go back quickly." Cen Changqian said worriedly, "The people are hungry, don't make any mistakes if you continue to survive." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away! - Wu Ming, bring a few people with me. ”

After saying that, Xue Shao and the others turned over and got on their horses, galloped and entered the gate of heaven.

Zhu Bajie, the chief housekeeper of the Taiping Princess's Mansion, also serves as the internal supervisor of the Inner Servant Province, and has considerable power and a wide range of people. In the past, the Martial Arts Academy also had a deep relationship with the inner court, so Xue Shao had some connections in the inner court.

Soon, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids walked out of the gate of heaven with ready-made food and began to distribute food, water and other things to the people. The inner court has twenty or thirty thousand mouths to eat every day, and it is not a problem to temporarily deduct a little to take care of these people and soldiers.

Seeing such a scene, Cen Changqian breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her sweat, "No wonder the Queen Mother wants to entrust the affairs here to Xue Shao to deal with." Indeed, even I, the prime minister, can't do everything like him! ”

After delivering food and water, the eunuchs and palace maids lined up in an orderly manner through the gate of heaven and returned to the inner court. Xue Shao, Wu Ming, and several experienced old scouts hid in a hidden place near the Zetian Gate Tower, staring closely at this huge team of eunuchs and palace maids, and quietly followed them into the palace.

The team bypassed the Hanyuan Hall and walked directly to the Yeting Palace. When passing by Yingxian Palace, Xue Shao, Wu Ming and others noticed at the same time that a figure in the team quickly flashed into the flower garden next to the palace and disappeared.

At this moment, the corners of Xue Shao's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a relaxed smile - successful fishing!

Half an hour later, under the porch outside Wu Zetian's sleeping palace.

A young white-faced eunuch, after a small group of palace maids holding food plates walked by, his figure slipped down from the beam of the house as light as a tanuki, and then quietly followed forward. Seeing that this team of palace maids walked directly into Wu Zetian's bedroom and closed the door, the figure of the white-faced eunuch slipped onto the beams of the house again, shuttled between the beams with ease, lightly uncovered a large piece of glazed treasure tiles, and finally quietly slipped into the dormitory and hid between the thick beams.

I could hear someone talking inside—

"Queen Mother, it's time for dinner."

"Bang dang" There was a sound of falling to pieces, and then the old eunuch's stern reprimand voice immediately sounded, "The cheap maid still hasn't cleaned up, hurry up!" ”

"Yes......" A group of palace maids timidly cleaned up the broken bowls all over the ground and retreated in panic.

The Queen Mother was angry. The old slave turned around and taught these ignorant palace maids a lesson. The old eunuch said cautiously, "Don't be angry, the queen mother is going to hurt herself." It's better to rest for a while, and it is estimated that when you wake up, you will hear the good news of Xue Yuma's return. ”

"Hmm......"

Wu Zetian replied angrily, and then lay down on the floor and covered the quilt under the service of the old eunuch. The old eunuch also quietly retreated with a few attendants, and only waited outside the door.

Quiescence.

Long.

The white-faced eunuch who had been in ambush for a long time hugged the beams from the roof and slid down silently. After landing on the ground, he lay on the ground and lay down for a long time, making sure that the person on the couch was asleep and there was no movement outside the door, so he half-lay on the ground like a cat and mouse, using all fours, slowly, inch by inch, towards the bed.

As the distance continued to shorten, the green tendons in the black shadow's hand slowly bulged and exploded, obviously having enough dark power. For some Assassins, the blade was often cleaner than the knife, and it was only necessary to slam it into the throat as fast as lightning, killing them instantly, without even struggling or screaming, or even getting a drop of blood.

The white-faced eunuch is obviously full of confidence in his kung fu!

Closer, closer!

"Can you climb faster? I'm tired of waiting! ”

A male voice suddenly sounded in the room, and the white-faced eunuch jumped back like a spring, like a cat that had just been stamped its tail and slid up frantically and quickly hugged the housing beams!

Suddenly, there was a strong and domineering wind overhead, and the white-faced eunuch shouted that it was not good, and he hurriedly turned around and fell down. The wind collapsed and fell like Mount Tai pressing down, and the white-faced eunuch hurriedly dodged. A few people managed to dodge the blow, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the person attacking him above his head, who seemed to be bald.

"Dead bald donkey!"

In the lightning flashes after the landing, the white-faced eunuch was not idle and scolded angrily. But before he could stand firmly, his chest and abdomen suddenly seemed to be swept by an iron mallet weighing a thousand catties, and he flew up directly with a scream, and hit the roof beam in the room.

"Boom-"

On the high beams, the dust that had accumulated for a hundred years since the pre-Sui era was shaken down.

The white-faced eunuch was not killed by a blow, on the contrary, he immediately bounced up, but his eyes were already golden, his body was churning, and he lost his strength, and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of old blood.

He took a few steps back to guard the door, and rubbed his eyes with a fixed concentration, and the white-faced eunuch finally saw the person who attacked him in front of him, standing with his back to him with his hands crossed and standing obliquely.

Wearing a gorgeous and dazzling purple and blue and white palace dress, it must be the queen's court dress, yes, and she also wore a jade arm ring, a hairpin gold ornament, and a silk woven of Shu brocade on her shoulders. Looking at this back, the figure is quite graceful, and the posture is also very dignified and noble...... The white-faced eunuch thought to himself that he didn't look like the Empress Dowager Wu, and he didn't know which woman was fake, and the Empress Dowager Wu at the age of the Empress Dowager definitely didn't have such a strong skill!

Suddenly, the woman's right leg was raised exaggeratedly, which frightened the white-faced eunuch so much that he hurriedly retreated, afraid of eating her again. Unexpectedly, she just stuck most of her bare legs out of her skirt.

Hairy!

The white-faced eunuch took a few steps back and almost spit out another mouthful of old blood, "You, who are you?!" ”

The dead bald donkey couldn't help but laugh at it.

"Li Xiantong, you negative man, I haven't seen you for a few days, so you don't know your aunt and grandmother?" It's obviously a man's voice, but it's just squeezing the screams in his throat.

When he turned his head, he smiled with a smile that captivated the country and the city......

"Xue Shao! You...... Burst...... Puff!! "Li Xiantong really vomited blood now, and he vomited three times in a row!

Xue Shao's face was indiscriminately smeared with a lot of rouge and gouache, and he also had pockmarks on his face, like a female ghost who eats people!

It's still a female ghost who is extremely ugly and has just eaten people!

"I ...... Go...... You...... ...... Puff!! ”

Li Xiantong didn't know whether he was kicked by Xue Shao's leg and his internal organs were seriously ruptured, or if he was really seriously disgusted, he actually stood unsteadily and knelt down with his hands on the ground, not caring about the blood spurting from his mouth, and he was also screaming and scolding again and again.

The door was pushed open, and several old scouts walked in and surrounded Li Xiantong at the core. Seeing Xue Shao's respectful face, they all lowered their heads and laughed vigorously and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Laugh and laugh, but don't hold back the problem." Xue Shao raised his face very generously, and flicked the flowing hair on his forehead a few times.

"Hahaha!"

"I ...... Go...... You...... ...... Puff!! ”

The scout closest to Li Xiantong suddenly raised his foot and kicked him in the mouth, and Li Xiantong rolled on his back and fell to the back of his head, his teeth and blood shattered all over the ground.

"The mouth is not clean." The scout scolded coldly.

Xue Shao smiled, "In recent years, someone has stabbed with his mouth." ”

The scouts laughed together.

Wu Ming glanced at Xue Shao, and Xue Shao nodded lightly to show approval.

"Get out there, don't get dirty here." Wu Ming ordered.

"Yes!"

Several scouts stepped forward and easily dragged the half-dead Li Xiantong unconscious with a few hands, and dragged him out like a corpse.

Xue Shao glanced at Li Xiantong lightly, turned around and chuckled, "After finishing work, someone will change clothes!" ”

The old eunuch hurriedly came in with a few attendants, and said happily: "Xue Yuma, this is the end?" ”

"Or else?" Xue Shao said lightly, "Don't rub it off, hurry up and help me change my clothes." I have to take Li Xiantong's head immediately and go to the Queen Mother to give her life. ”

"Yes!" The old eunuch hurriedly beckoned his servants to come forward to do their work, and couldn't help but whisper in a whisper, "The old slave just thinks that this Li Xiantong can be regarded as Xue Feima's old enemy, right?" Now that he has made such a big move, why is it that after Xue Yuma is done, there is no joy and excitement overflowing, but so careless? ”

Xue Shao smiled but said nothing.

"Rivals? A few years ago, he might have been an enemy of the colt. Wu Ming on the side replied lightly: "Now, he is no longer worthy of taking his head from the horse." ”
