"Sure enough, it's a woman." Li Xian originally smelled a fragrance in his nose when the woman rushed over from outside the hall, and immediately felt that the person who came should be a woman, and now listening to this person's mouth, although the other party deliberately changed his voice, he could also confirm that the other party must be a woman, but he felt that this voice seemed to be heard somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

And just when Li Xian was thinking about the identity of the other party, he suddenly heard Empress Wu shout: "What do you want?" This palace warns Yu Er, no matter how deep you hide, you can also be seen through the hiding, if you dare to hurt my son, this palace will definitely wipe out the nine clans, and none of them will survive. ”

Although Empress Wu was controlled by others, she was not convinced, and there was a deep threat in her words.

But he didn't expect the other party to not waver at all, but tightened the sword in his hand, and sneered: "In this case, then try it, exchange a certain life for this person's life, hehe, a certain grass people, can take away the life of a prince, it is worth it." Don't talk nonsense, quickly open the palace door, and let someone out of the palace, this person can still save his life, otherwise, Her Royal Highness the Queen will collect the body for Ling Lang today. ”

"Stop, this palace will let you out, General Qiu, let him go, but you must remember to leave my son's life, otherwise, you will flee to the ends of the earth, and this palace will not let go of the Erjier people." No matter how ruthless the Empress Wu was, she couldn't bear to hurt the life of her own son, not to mention that Li Xian gave up his life to save her, which made her heart even more reluctant to be moved by it, so although the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots was in front of her, she had to throw a mouse trap for her son and ordered the assassin to be released.

Seeing that Empress Wu was able to give up the opportunity to kill the enemy because of herself, Li Xian obviously knew that her heart had always been vicious, and now he couldn't help but feel a little moved, just thinking about immediately revealing his hole cards and ordering Zhang Wuchen, who was mixed with the guards, to kill the assassin in one fell swoop, but reason told him that he must not do this, otherwise even if he is fine, the people he has befriended over the years will definitely suffer disasters and even bring about catastrophes, and this is definitely not what he wants to see.

What's more, he is absolutely unwilling to be a puppet emperor like history, even if the Empress Wu is close to him. So Li Xian had no choice but to continue to wait for the opportunity, waiting for an opportunity not only to escape, but also to capture the assassin alive in one fell swoop, because he felt more and more that this assassin was somewhat familiar, and the more he did this, the more he wanted to know the identity of the other party, otherwise, if this person knew some of his secrets, and thus leaked his secrets to some key people, it would be a lot of fun.

Therefore, Li Xian had no choice but to leave the palace under the hostage of the assassin, and at the same time, under the close followers of the guards led by Qiu Shenji.

Because he was held hostage by the assassins, Li Xian naturally did not pass through the guarded Nanya Divisions, but chose to leave from the Xuanwu Gate.

"By order of Her Royal Highness the Queen, open this door." Qiu Shenji's face was expressionless, holding the token given by Empress Wu, and ordered the gatekeepers to open the palace gate and let the assassin leave.

When the assassin saw that the gate was open, he didn't say much, and walked out of the Xuanwu Gate with Li Xian, and then said with a smile: "This general, thank you for sending it away, and I can't thank you enough, so don't pass it away." ”

After saying that, the assassin led Li Xian forward quickly, found a horse out of nowhere, and then absconded into the darkness on the fast horse.

"Chase." Qiu Shenji was ordered to protect Li Xian's life, and to take the opportunity to kill the assassin, now nothing has been done, if he goes back like this, the furious Empress Wu will definitely vent his anger on him, then in this way, he will not be able to keep the left prison door straight chief who has obtained the benefit of his father Qiu Xinggong, this is not the end, I am afraid that the future of his life will also be buried because of this matter.

Therefore, Qiu Shenji did not hesitate to order the guards to chase in the direction of the assassins.

However, he did not expect that the assassin was actually a fast horse, but in the blink of an eye, his own people could no longer find the horse and the master.

"Follow a certain to Luoyang Mansion Yin, this time the whole city will be blocked, and all Wuhou Fangding will be ordered to investigate overnight, hmph, now it is a curfew, and the assassin is injured again, and he doesn't believe that he can run to the edge of the sky."

Qiu Shenji's reaction was not slow, and the decision he made was the most appropriate, if nothing else, the female assassin would definitely be caught.

But things happened to be unexpected, and the person who caused the accident was even more unbelievable, because that person turned out to be Li Xian, who was held hostage!

The matter was actually very simple, just as the female assassin got on the horse, Li Xian suddenly recognized the identity of the other party, because he remembered very clearly that the horse they were riding was actually the skinny horse that Li Xian had selected in Nanshi not long ago and was robbed by others at great expense. And the one who competed with him for the horse was the woman who made a big move.

Therefore, almost immediately, Li Xian was sure that this female assassin was the original woman, and at the same time, he suddenly realized why the woman did not hesitate to buy a horse, the purpose was to assassinate the Empress Wu, and he didn't know who this person was.

"Could it be that Daddy Gao Sect sent it?" This is impossible, Li Xian immediately denied this inference, because he knew Gaozong's character deeply, and he relied on and guarded against Empress Wu, but for the rest of his life, at most, he made a move to abolish the Empress Wu, and as a result, he was stopped by Empress Wu's crying, as for sending someone to assassinate, with Gaozong's rotten good man and cowardly character, it is absolutely impossible.

"Maybe it's the mother and daughter of the Helan family, the wife of the Wei State?" This is impossible, because although they are unwilling to be favored by the Empress Wu, the current contradiction is not planned to be irreconcilable, not to mention that there is still Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Rongguo in the palace, it is definitely impossible for this mother and daughter to do this.

"That's the queen or Concubine Xiao's clansmen? That's a bit unclear. In any case, I have to try to find out the identity of this female assassin, but I can't guarantee that when she is captured and interrogated, she will not talk nonsense about me, in case it really leaks my secret because of this, then this time it will be more than worth the loss, well, I need to interrogate her personally after capturing her, and I can't let Qiu Shenji interfere, hehe, although I don't know what this guy looked like when he was young, but since he will be a famous cool official in the future, I don't dare to guarantee that he will not use torture now. And if you want to prevent Qiu Shenji from interfering, there is only one way, that is, not letting him know about it. ”

Li Xian had already made arrangements for the fate of the female assassin in the blink of an eye, but the poor female assassin still thought that Li Xian's life was in her hands.

In fact, this is not to blame the female assassin, after all, she doesn't know Li Xian's skills, and she doesn't know that Li Xian has a first-class master of the rivers and lakes to follow, this person's light skills are even more outstanding, if you go all out, you will never be under the dark clouds of the female assassin in a short period of time.

And at night in Luoyang City, it was destined that the escape of the female assassin could only be in a short period of time, because in a short time, the streets were already full of Wuhou sent by Luoyang Mansion Yin and the fangding of various fangs, in such a well-guarded place, it was difficult for even a mosquito to fly away.

The female assassin was already weak and weak because of her previous injuries, but she barely supported herself in order to get a glimmer of life, but after escaping on horseback, her body finally couldn't support it, so she reined in the horse with all her strength, and then slowly fell to the side of the road.

Because of the fear that Li Xian would escape, the female assassin had been holding it in front of his chest, and with the ups and downs on the saddle, Li Xian also felt a trace of softness on his head from time to time.

But after waiting for a long time, Li Xian didn't wait for the expected pain, but felt that the place where his head touched was soft, and he couldn't help but open his eyes curiously, only to find that the assassin had fallen to the ground on his back, and he was padded with a layer of flesh, without the slightest injury, not even a trace of pain.

The female assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, then fainted, and then fell unconscious.

Seeing this scene, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was obvious that the female assassin was afraid that he would fall and get hurt, so she disregarded her life and forcibly cushioned him, causing her injuries to worsen and she fell unconscious.

"Thou art not ruthless, the sword that stabbed me earlier was merciful, and I can't see it? At the time, I didn't know the reason, but later I thought about it because I knew me, but since you are in love, why did you want to do such a thing as assassinating the queen? You must know that the forbidden land of the palace, how can you break into it if you want to? Fortunately, I was met today, otherwise if I were caught, not only would you have lost your life in vain, but wouldn't I have been affected even under closer inspection? But if you have saved me once, I will save you once. ”

Li Xian sighed slightly, but he didn't dare to delay, when he sent out a secret signal to summon Zhang Wuchen who was following him, and then gave a low command, ordering Zhang Wuchen to take him and the female assassin to the secret mansion in the southwest of the palace. As for the thousand-mile horse, he had no choice but to kill it and fur it, otherwise, once he was recognized, he would cause endless trouble to himself.

Killing horses and skinning such things is a piece of cake for the first-class master Zhang Wuchen, but in an instant, he swung his sword to kill the horse, and he didn't even have time to let it scream, and skinning is not difficult, and the front and back add up to just a cup of tea, after completing all this, Zhang Wuchen processed the horse's fur, and wrapped Li Xian and the female assassin, just a light vertical, he crossed the not too high wall, and then disappeared into the dark night in a few ups and downs.
