On the afternoon of the second day of the attack, a decree came from the palace to let Li Xuanba enter the palace to face the saint. Li Xuanba carried the bamboo tube on his back and got into the carriage in the palace without saying a word.

After entering the Hall of Daye and seeing Yang Guang, Li Xuanba's first feeling was: Yang Guang was much haggard and a little older.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving your life." Li Xuanba bowed and thanked him.

"Sit down." Yang Guang glanced up, waved his hand, and asked Li Xuanba to find a place to sit down at will.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xuanba looked left and right, found a futon in front of the hall, and sat down on his knees.

"Looking at your tired face, you must have not slept last night, right?" Yang Guang put down the fold in his hand and said with a smile: "I will send someone to repair the damaged house of the Tang State Mansion, you can be wronged in the past few days." ”

"With His Majesty's care, Weichen doesn't feel aggrieved." Li Xuanba said respectfully.

Yang Guang hummed in reply, and then stopped talking, looking down at the folds. Li Xuanba was apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for guilt, so he could only sit in place and play with the corners of his clothes.

"You go back to Luoyang, why don't you come to see me?" The two were silent for nearly a quarter of an hour, and Yang Guang reviewed a few folds and asked without raising his head.

Li Xuanba had already thought about how to answer, and said calmly: "Weichen knows that His Majesty has been busy with government affairs recently, so he doesn't dare to disturb. ”

"You have a heart." Yang Guang bowed slightly, and said lightly: "Then how do you know that those people were sent by me last night?" ”

"Wechen has thought about it carefully, in this Luoyang City, only His Majesty cares about Wechen." Li Xuanba said gratefully: "Your Majesty's kindness, Weichen is unforgettable. After a pause, he wondered again: "How did Your Majesty know that Weichen was back?" ”

At the mention of this, Yang Guang couldn't help laughing, raised his head and said: "This eastern capital has been built for more than ten years, and it is the first time that the City Gate Division has seen someone riding a donkey into the city, this matter has become a joke, don't you know it yourself?" ”

Li Xuanba thought about it, and finally understood why Li Gou was willing to be shameless and rode a donkey into the city, it turned out that it was in this way that he informed His Majesty of the news of his return.

The two chatted about some household affairs in the Li Mansion again, and Li Xuanba saw that Yang Guang hadn't mentioned last night's incident for a long time, so he stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there is something unknown about Weichen, I wonder if Your Majesty can solve Weichen's doubts?" ”

"You're trying to ask about last night?" Yang Guang smiled: "I thought you could resist mentioning it." ”

Li Xuanba scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "This matter is related to Weichen's net worth and life, if you don't understand it, Weichen is afraid that no one will have a good night's sleep." ”

"With someone from the Sect protecting you, what are you worried about?" Yang Guang said: "As for last night's incident, all the assassins were killed, and there was no information left on them, and this matter is difficult to investigate. ”

Li Xuanba also knew that this matter was difficult to investigate, there were countless powerful people in Luoyang City, and it was possible that there were some dead soldiers in anyone's house, and these dead soldiers had no identity, and they died when they died, as if they had never lived.

But Li Xuanba's purpose was not to find out who was behind his assassination.

"Your Majesty, Weichen went to Xu Guogong's mansion yesterday, Xu Guogong was unwell, and asked Weichen to hand over a copy to Your Majesty." Li Xuanba said ashamedly: "It's just that the incident happened suddenly last night, and Weichen didn't have time to bring out the song, so he only rescued this manuscript." After the fire was extinguished, Weichen went back and searched carefully, but he didn't find the note, but he was afraid that it had been burned to ashes by the fire. With that, he took out the manuscript from the bamboo tube.

Yang Guang signaled, and Gonggong Li walked down, took the manuscript, and put it in front of Yang Guang.

"Do you suspect that those assassins were for that kind of compromise?" Yang Guang was not in a hurry to read the poems copied by Li Xuanba, and asked, "Have you seen the content of the compromise?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare." Li Xuanba bowed his head and said.

"Forget it, it's no wonder you for this kind of thing, get up." Yang Guang said: "If there is anything wrong with Xu Guogong, when he is better, I will ask him personally." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xuanba bowed and sat up.

"The poems you wrote last time, Ling'er liked them very much." Yang Guang touched a few rolls of paper in front of him, and said seemingly unintentionally: "In a few days, the school of Guozijian will start, and you can copy a copy of these poems to her." ”

Yang Guang's thoughts were obvious, and Li Xuanba naturally realized it, and said with a smile: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Seeing that Li Xuanba was cheap and behaved, Yang Guang scolded with a smile: "Study hard in the future in the Guozijian, if you are lazy again, don't blame me for beating you a few big boards." ”

Li Xuanba's face instantly became sad, and Yang Guang didn't care about him, and said, "You can step back first." Li Xuanba replied and bowed down.

Walking out of the Great Cause Palace, Li Xuanba let out a long breath. Although Yang Guang was good to him, he still didn't dare to do whatever he wanted, and all his actions in the palace were cautious. Moreover, Li Xuanba felt that in this palace, it seemed that the air was heavier than outside.

"Quan Zhi, do you think Xuanba's kid is usable?" Yang Guang looked out the door and asked casually.

"Zhongyongwei is very intelligent, and he is naturally a material that can be made." Li Quanzhi replied vaguely.

"You old thing, I ask you something, and you answer these useless things." Yang Guang scolded with a smile.

Li Quanzhi didn't dare to refute, put on a smiling face, squeezed out a few folds, and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, you must have made up your mind a long time ago, the slave is not familiar with Lord Zhongyongwei, and I really don't dare to perfunctory Your Majesty." ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he ignored him and said to himself: "This kid, I know that avoiding the important is light, after this incident, I am afraid that he will grow up again, and it is time to give him something to do." After speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "It's a pity that he is a martial artist." ”

Back at the house, Li Xuanba lay in the courtyard, looking at the burned house, and kept thinking about some things in his mind.

This assassination made Li Xuanba gradually realize that even if he didn't want to get involved in the dispute, his identity would make him involuntarily involved. At the same time, Li Xuanba also realized that his life was not in his own hands, which made him have a deep sense of crisis.

When he encountered an assassin on the night he visited Xu Guogong's mansion, no one would think that it was a coincidence, and Li Xuanba would naturally not think it was a coincidence, he thought about many possibilities.

For example, some people guessed Xu Guogong's thoughts and didn't want to see Li Xuanba go to face Xu Guogong for him, or Xu Guogong was worried that Li Xuanba would not listen to him, so he sent someone to assassinate him, so that he would know that he was in danger and enter the palace earlier.

Thinking of last night's scene, Li Xuanba shook his head helplessly. He knew that he was not smarter than the ancients, and in terms of scheming, he was not as good as Xu Guogong, a person who had been in officialdom for decades. His only advantage is that he knows where history is heading, but this alone does not guarantee his survival.

Li Xuanba thought for a long time, and said to himself: "Your Majesty took advantage of this opportunity to test it, and now that I have learned that I have indeed become a waste, will you still use me?" ”

The Tang Guogong Mansion was only a dozen meters away from the opposite side, and with such a close distance, the people sent by Yang Guang could completely let those assassins die outside the mansion. But as a result, someone entered the courtyard and was seriously injured. Their injuries weren't enough for them to kill Li Xuanba easily, but they could still pose some threats.

"Since he has the heart to match me and the princess, he shouldn't let me be idle, right?" Thinking of Yang Guang's last words, a smile appeared at the corner of Li Xuanba's mouth: "Let's deceive the princess first." ”

At this time, Li Xing hurriedly ran into the yard, and when he arrived in front of Li Xuanba, he bowed down and said, "Childe, the donkey has been bought, I don't know what use Gongzi wants it?" ”

"You go and let Li Gou ride it around the streets." Li Xuanba said with a smile, innocent.
