Similar to the Daming Palace in the north of the city, the Daci'en Temple in the south of Chang'an City is also shrouded in a piece of silver moonlight tonight. The temple pavilion and Buddha hall in the temple stretch and scatter, almost occupy the boundary of half of the Jinchang Fang. This temple was originally built by Emperor Gaozong of this dynasty more than 100 years ago for his biological mother, Empress Wendeok, and because it was the place where Master Sanzang translated the scriptures, other temples in Changancheng received special care from the imperial court.

Since the time of the emperor's grandfather, Daejeongsa Temple, has been blessed by the imperial court, and has owned hundreds of hectares of land in Gyeonggi as a temple property. After Chang'an was recovered from the rebels, the father of the current emperor issued a decree: from now on, among the three inner and six palaces, all the palace people and eunuchs who died died in the palace, and the things they wore and used during their lifetime were all discounted into money to worship the food and clothing of the monks in the Great Ci'en Temple.

Because of this reason, although the Great Ci'en Temple has not been explicitly enclosed by the imperial court, it has become a national temple respected by the Chang'an imperial court.

People from all over the world, such as the southeast, the northwest, and so on, have gathered here, make a living, business, year after year, in the east and west sides of the Great Ci'en Temple naturally formed two lively and extraordinary streets, so that although the Great Ci'en Temple is a place for Buddhism to cultivate, but also inevitably contaminated with a strong secular atmosphere.

At the end of the second watch, in the Guangming Hall of the Sanzang Master Academy in the West Garden of the Great Ci'en Temple, Wu Bi, the emperor's maternal uncle and the general of Yulin, who knew the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion, was wearing a cloth robe, and was looking at the poems inscribed by Taizong on the west wall to Master Sanzang: stop Xuan Guanfu Palace, and look at Huangji. The wheel of law rotates with the sun, and the flower cover flies to the clouds......

Yes, even a saintly and virtuous monarch like Taizong, who comes out once in five hundred years, will inevitably fall into the notoriety of forcing his father to kill his brother in the pen of the historian, not to mention the nephew who serves him wholeheartedly! When Wu Bi watched it for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Since Wu Bi received this secret envoy from the emperor alone two days ago, after much thought, he decided to set up the "Chinese Army Tent" to send troops and generals to carry out the plan to kill Li in this Great Ci'en Temple.

The reason why Wu Bi made such a decision was because the Great Ci'en Temple was located in the south of Chang'an City, far away from the imperial city, and in case the assassination operation failed, Li Jinzhong and his close friends would not suspect the emperor; Second, because of the mixed mix of people around the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, it is easy to hide; There is another reason that Wu Bi attaches great importance to, that is, Li Jin is loyal to Buddhism, and he would never have thought that the pure land of Buddhism would one day be borrowed by the king of Yama and become the Senluo Hall that asks for people's lives.

Li Jinzhong is the Dingding Father who supported the current emperor to succeed the unification, and not long ago he was honored by the emperor as "Shang Father" because of his great achievements in the Jing Palace, and his special status determined that the emperor would take his life in such a way that Wu Bi felt unbelievable today.

Wu Bi has been an official for more than 30 years, and has experienced more than 100 battles, both large and small, and has never done assassination that is unsightly and unsightly. Rao was so, based on his heartfelt loyalty to the emperor, he still relied on his rich experience on the battlefield to make a meticulous arrangement for this unprecedented assassination operation.

Although the killer hired with a huge reward of 100,000 yuan this time is the only one among the famous "Lifan Sanshu" who is known for her skills, Xin Twelve Niang, who has never missed since her debut more than ten years ago, Wu Bi still can't rest assured, and deliberately released Na Yu from the cell, intending to give Li Jinzhong a double kill, or even a triple kill.

A few days ago, Xing'er was sent by him to the Jin State Mansion for the first time, and he never returned, and disappeared on the same day. The next day, Wu Bi got the report and learned that Li Jinzhong would stay in Xing'erqiang's study in the mansion as an errand boy, which brought Wu Bi an unexpected surprise.

As early as a month ago, Lai Xing'er had just returned to Chang'an from Tiantai Mountain Jiucheng Palace, and was punished for revealing the identity of the impostor eunuch to the "Wild Fox Fall" to guard the tomb Shortly after, Wu Bi learned from the emperor's eyeliner in the Jiucheng Palace that Lai Xing'er had encountered everything in the Jiucheng Palace, from Xie Laocheng was killed in front of Lai Xing'er's mother's grave, to Lai Xing'er Road to meet Zhang's eyeliner, and after killing him by mistake, he found the symbol of Furong's hand - the green jade plate, Wu Bi can be said to know it well.

According to his guess, when Lai Xing'er learned the true cause of his mother's death, even if he didn't hate Li Jinzhong and wanted to kill him quickly, he would never listen to any of Li Jinzhong's rhetoric again.

Therefore, when he heard that Li Jinzhong saw Lai Xing'er in front of the mansion, he actually thought it was clever to leave Lai Xing'er by his side on an errand that day, and wanted to demonstrate to the emperor and himself with this, Wu Bi's mouth couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of his mouth: Li Jinzhong did this, but he saved himself trouble, and when the assassination operation was launched, maybe Lai Xing'er would become a surprise soldier that he had unintentionally deployed, adding a little certainty to the success of the assassination operation.

"Lord, she's back."

A man in black walked in quietly and reported to Wu Bi with his fists clenched. Before the current mission was completed, based on prudent considerations, Wu Bi asked his subordinates not to call themselves generals, but to replace them with the title of lord.

"How's the messenger doing?"

Although Wu Bi spoke at a slow pace, his anxiety and anticipation were beyond words.

"Hui Da, no, if you want to be the lord, she didn't come alone, and she was followed by a half-grown child. But look at the situation, it seems that the errand is doing well. ”

Wu Bi let out a long sigh when he heard the words that the messenger had done a good job, and ordered the man in black: "Bring her here to see me alone, and you should hurry up and arrange the aftermath according to my instructions in advance." Oh, tell someone to quickly ask the true identity of the half-grown boy who came with her, and then come back to me. ”

Not long after the man in black obeyed the order and retreated, a tall black figure floated into the Hall of Light like a gust of wind.

"Twelve Niang really deserves her reputation, and as soon as she made a move, she ended up with the life of that old man, which is gratifying."

Wu Bi smiled and picked up a bowl of tea from a few cases around him and served it to Xin Twelve Niang with his own hands.

"If you want Twelve Niang to do it, it's an imperial errand. Our sisters made a joint vow more than ten years ago, and from then on, we will never be involved in court politics again. Today, it is considered to be for the sake of 100,000 rewards, so that the twelve mothers broke the ring, please pay immediately after the inspection of the goods, and the twelve mothers will go back to the mountain, but I am afraid that they will have to be reprimanded by the two sisters. ”

Xin Twelve Niang said, gently put the leather bag in her hand on top of a few cases, took the tea bowl held by Wu Bi, and drank it all on her back. (To be continued.) )
