Although the martial arts of those warriors under the command of Qiu Shenji are not low, they still have a considerable distance compared to Dou Xiantong, coupled with the cover of night, in just a moment, they have lost the trace of Dou Xiantong.

"Hmph, this person is injured, he must not have gone far, I only need to follow the bloodstains after dawn to find his whereabouts." Qiu Shenji had no choice but to put gold on his face, and then ordered his warriors to find a dwelling, forcibly break in, and then deal with their injuries, and "requisition" some food from the farmer, and then go to rest.

Early the next morning, Qiu Shenji searched for traces of the assassin in the bloodstains, only to find that the assassin had come to the beach and disappeared.

"Hmph, this thief actually left by boat overnight, it seems that there must be a response, and it is fate." Although Qiu Shenji was unwilling, the other party had already left by boat, and now he had completely lost his trace, and there was no way to find it, so he could only give up.

"Fortunately, my other mission has been completed, and I finally lived up to the cultivation of the queen's mother, otherwise this trip back will definitely not have good results." Qiu Shenji's return this time can be regarded as a mixed blessing, but fortunately, he kept the Wu Chengsi brothers and completed the most important task assigned by the martial queen.

After Le Yu, when Qiu Shenji secretly came to Luoyang with the Wu brothers and handed over to the Wu Queen, it was as he expected, although the Empress Wu was displeased because he did not make a full contribution, but the Martial Empress also guessed that this matter should be related to Pei Wang Li Xian, after all, Li Xian and Helan Minyue have a deep relationship, and it is understandable to avenge Helan Minyue and kill the Wu brothers this time.

"Er, these two rebels, Su Ri have done evil, they are used to it, and Er's father and son are even more bad, unbearable, hum, if it weren't for the fact that the two brothers are the only remaining bloodline of my Wu clan, it will be difficult to forgive. In the future, the country will be guilty of the past, change his mind, and be a new person, and the palace will leave a way for you to live. ”

"No. Please rest assured that the child will change from evil to good in the future, be filial to his aunt, and never let you down again. "After Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were demoted, their original arrogance was long gone, and now they have picked up a life from the hands of death, so they are naturally more and more careful, and now they know that Empress Wu has become their only hope, so they naturally do their best to express their loyalty.

But after seeing Wuhou, he nodded, and said slowly: "I hope you can match your words and deeds." Now although you have picked up a life, but your sin has not yet been washed away, and the saint is in anger, even the palace does not dare to force you to come out, so during this period of time, you still need to restrain your deeds, not to show your face, when the time comes, you have the opportunity to get ahead, so let's go to General Qiu first to be a personal soldier, I believe that General Qiu will not be wronged, remember, without the permission of this palace, no one is allowed to expose your identity. ”

"No. Thank you aunt for the cultivation. "How can Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi choose at this time? It's already good to have a place to live, so when they heard the words of the Empress Wu, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked the Empress Wu, and then saluted Qiu Shenji, and then left with Qiu Shenji under the repeated instructions of the Empress Wu.

But it was said that Li Xian had been restless in the past few days, because it stands to reason that Dou Xiantong should have completed the task and replied to him a long time ago, but until now, he didn't have any news from the other party, and he suddenly felt that this trip might have been an accident, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly sent all the intelligence officers under his command to inquire about Dou Xiantong's whereabouts separately, and asked them to reply to him as soon as possible.

Although he was very concerned about whether the Wu brothers were successfully killed, but in front of Dou Xiantong's safety, the Wu brothers were not worth mentioning at all, and if he used Dou Xiantong's life in exchange for the death of the Wu Sansi brothers, he would never do so.

"Fairchild, and where is this girl? Why hasn't there been any news yet? The Buddha is above, don't let my fairy child have any accidents, otherwise I, Li Xian, will really regret dying, alas, blame me, I imagined this thing too simple, if I spend a little more effort, carefully deploy, and send a few more helpers, I believe that even if the fairy child can't complete the task, he will definitely be able to escape smoothly. But then again, what went wrong that caused my operation to fail this time? Well, it must have been the mysterious death of the Wu family's children that aroused the mother's vigilance, and as a result, it was self-defeating, and instead the queen mother sent someone to protect Wu Chengsi and others. If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be too difficult to assassinate these two thieves. ”

Li Xian frowned, worried about Dou Xiantong's safety, and thinking about the next response, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"King, it's three watches at night, it's time to go to bed." The personal eunuch Gao Cheng sighed softly, and reminded Li Xian, who was still sitting in the study in contemplation, in a whisper.

But seeing that Li Xian didn't have any reaction, he said slowly after a long time: "Gao Cheng, don't rush me, open the door quickly, there is a guest coming." ”

"Huh? My lord, in the middle of the night, how can there be any guests coming? Oh, the slave understood, no wonder the king had no intention of sleeping until late at night, it turned out that he was waiting for this guest. Although Gao Cheng didn't know what Li Xian was worried about, as a personal eunuch, he also knew that Li Xian's matter was very important, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly opened the door according to Li Xian's instructions and went to greet the "guests".

In fact, Gao Cheng's hearing is quite good, but he didn't hear any movement outside the door at all, and when he heard Li Xian's instructions to go out at the beginning, he muttered a little in his heart, but when he opened the door, he saw a person in a night suit standing there outside, and then he was completely convinced by Li Xian: "I really don't understand what the king's ears are made of?" I can hear the sound of the martial arts master landing through the door, alas, my ears are rare to use, but I didn't hear this person coming. ”

Gao Cheng sighed in his heart, but he was not slow at all, and he didn't ask who the person was, and directly said: "This gentleman is invited, the king is waiting in the room." ”

Hearing only a faint sentence, Gao Cheng only felt a flower in front of him, and saw that the black shadow had come to Li Xian's study, and then bowed to Li Xian.

"No need to be polite, Huaide, quickly inform this king, how is the matter with the fairy child?"

The name of the person who came is Ye Huaide, who is a chivalrous warrior of the rivers and lakes who is heavily enclosed by Li Xian, although his martial arts are far from being comparable to masters such as Zhang Wuchen, there is a certain gap compared to Dou Xiantong, but this person is alert and steady, and he is an important figure in the entire Infernal Affairs organization, and it is also one of the three great protectors of Li Xian to assist Dou Xiantong in managing Infernal Affairs.

I saw that Ye Huaide bowed slightly and said: "King Qiqi, this matter disappointed the king, for some reason, the other party was alert to this matter, and laid down more than ten good hands in advance, Mr. Dou immediately suffered a siege after breaking in, fortunately, Mr. Dou's martial arts are superb, this is the breakthrough of the encirclement, but because the idea is too hard, Mr. Dou also suffered a little injury when he broke through, and now there is no major problem, and he is slowly going to Luoyang, because he is afraid that the king is worried, so he ordered the villain to rush back and report to the king first. At the same time, he also pleaded guilty to the king, and Mr. Dou asked the villain to tell the king that he would be held accountable for all crimes. In fact, the villain thinks that Mr. Dou can't be blamed for this matter, because the villain is not careful enough, if he enters the land temple in advance to investigate and determine the identity of the people in the temple, he will not be injured in this evil way, so the villain believes that all the blame is borne by the villain, and Mr. Dou has nothing to do. ”

Li Xianyan sighed softly when he heard this: "You don't have to rush to take the responsibility on your own head, in fact, all this is to blame on this king, this king was too careless this time, ignoring the reaction of the person above, which made that person calmly arranged, not only rescued Wu Chenghe, Wu Sansi and two thieves, but also injured the fairy child, but eat a trench, grow a wisdom, I believe that after this battle, whether it is this king or fairy child, or you, etc., things will be more meticulous, and that person can not guess our identity at all, but will be deliberately misled by this king, Lock the suspicion onto the person. ”

Li Xian smiled and gestured his finger to a "six", then looked at Ye Huaide, and said softly: "If you have worked hard, go to the merchant to get a hundred taels of gold first, and then go down to rest." ”

Li Xian said as he took out a piece of paper from his bosom, with his pseudonym written on it, and Li Xian's own fingerprint, which was Li Xian's certificate in the Xiantang firm. Anyone can take out the money marked on it at the firm with this voucher.

"This, this, the villain has not made an inch, the king is so rewarded, but how dare to accept it?" Ye Huaide's face was full of shame, and he didn't take the piece of paper handed over by Li Xian.

"This time is not your fault, all the blame is on this king, Huaide has worked hard all the way, and he deserves this reward." Li Xian's hand did not retract, but shook his head and stuffed it into Ye Huaide's hand again.

But seeing Ye Huaide refusing again: "The king's words make the villain really embarrassed, no merit is no merit, how can you be greedy for rewards, the villain does not dare to accept it, don't blame the king." ”

Li Xian saw that the other party insisted that he didn't want to, so he had to give up, but his evaluation of this Ye Huaide in his heart was a level higher: "This Ye Huaide is bold and careful, calm, loyal, and not greedy for money, he is definitely a trustworthy person, let him be the deputy of the fairy child, I don't have to worry about it." However, I can't just give up on what the fairy child suffered, this revenge will be avenged by me Li Xian sooner or later, hmph, this woman is only able to move by me Li Xian, and others dare to do it, but they really don't take me seriously. ”
