It would take half an hour for the assassin to wake up, and Tang Xiu was not idle during this time.

First, he asked Pei Caier to bring scissors to cut off the entire cuff of his left arm, leaving the round hole shot by the sleeve arrow very clearly.

Then he found a strip of white cloth and bandaged it on his arm casually a few times, and then sprinkled some chicken blood on the white cloth outside, which was red and conspicuous, and anyone who saw it could see that Tang Xiu was injured, and there was a lot of blood from the wound.

The arrows on the sleeves and the arrows shot out were not spared, and they were all coated with a layer of chicken blood to dry, and placed at the scene of the crime together with the human skin mask as evidence, in preparation for the government's intervention in the future.

It was at this time that Pei Cai'er and the others knew that the original sleeve arrow had been coated with highly poisonous things by the assassin, looking at the round hole in the sleeve cut from Tang Xiu's left arm, several people couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and at the same time, their hatred for the assassin began to rise sharply, and they wanted to beat the assassin tied to the tree to death now.

"Broken Soul Incense, it turned out to be Broken Soul Incense ......" Hearing the young master's narration, and smelling the unique aroma coming from the arrow, the old butler Tang Panshi suddenly became excited, "Why, why is this, my Tang family has been in seclusion in Taiyuan City for nearly thirty years, why are these people still unwilling to let go of my Tang family?!" ”

"No! I have to report this matter to Mrs. Tai, such an important matter must be known to her old man! ”

As he spoke, Tang Panshi looked anxious as if he had been convulsed, and turned around and left.

"Uncle Stone, slow down!" Tang Xiu directly moved to block Tang Panshi's way, and said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to tell Mrs. Tai about this matter, Mrs. Tai is too old to stand such stimulation." Uncle Shi should talk about what is going on first, isn't there any enemy in our Tang Mansion? ”

Seeing that Tang Panshi seemed to know the origin of some assassins, Tang Xiu naturally wouldn't let him go so easily, besides, Mrs. Tai was almost seventy years old, if she knew that the only seedling in the family had been assassinated by an assassin, and even used something highly poisonous that could kill people instantly, maybe she would be able to faint directly on the spot.

"This ......" Tang Panshi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Young master, the old slave thinks that it is better to tell Mrs. Tai about this matter first, and the old slave is not very clear about the grievances back then, and you still have to ask Mrs. Tai to find out." ”

Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, tell me what you know first, if there is really no way in the end, it's not too late to ask grandma for advice." ”

Seeing Tang Xiu's insistence, Tang Panshi sighed lightly and said: "In fact, the old slave doesn't know much about this matter, only that the old man left Chang'an and returned to Taiyuan to live in seclusion, in addition to being chilled by some things, it seems that the old man has offended someone, so he has to live in seclusion to avoid trouble." ”

Tang Xiu's heart jumped, Tang Wangchuan was such a bull X person, Cheng Biting Jin's brother-in-law, Li Shimin's life-saving benefactor, and some other names and status that Tang Xiu didn't know, he was forced out of Chang'an City, hiding in Taiyuan for more than 20 years and not daring to show his head, how strong is that person?

Also, this assassin wouldn't have been provoked back because of his wandering around Chang'an City, right?

If that's the case, Tang Xiu couldn't help but want to slap himself with a big mouth, what did you say about running to Chang'an to get rid of it? Now it's okay, right?

"Even if grandpa offended someone back then, you can't just rely on a soul-breaking incense to conclude that it was that person's revenge?" Tang Xiu said in confusion: "If I remember correctly, it seems that the Soul Breaking Incense was personally prepared by Grandpa back then, and there should be many people who know it, isn't it a bit too arbitrary for Uncle Shi to think so?" ”

"The young master only knows one thing but doesn't know the other," Tang Panshi sighed: "Because the Soul Breaking Incense was too toxic, and the old man was not able to prepare the corresponding antidote at that time, it was set as a top secret by Emperor Taizong at that time as soon as it was born, and except for the royal guards, the rest of the sergeants were not allowed to be equipped." Moreover, because of the rarity of materials, the Soul Breaking Incense has always been prepared according to the number of shares, and Emperor Taizong sent someone to personally supervise it, and there are few excess quotas that can be left outside. ”

Tang Xiu pursed his lips lightly, no matter how strict the precautions were, it was inevitable that there would be some loopholes, but then Tang Xiu's heart trembled again, the person who could take advantage of these loopholes under Li Shimin's nose was definitely a very, very unprovoked existence, what did his cheap grandfather do back then, so that this person would still hold on to the Tang family after decades?

"There is another thing, originally neither the master nor the lady let the old slave talk too much in front of the young master, but the matter has come to this, and the old slave has to tell the young master in advance, so that the young master can take precautions in advance."

Tang Xiu nodded, "Uncle Shi, please speak." ”

"Sixteen years ago," Tang Panshi just made a start, and the first four words made Tang Xiu's heart skip a beat, and sixteen years ago, how many things happened to the Tang family in the year Tang Xiu was born?

When I was in Chang'an, I heard Cheng Yanjin talk about it once sixteen years ago, and now I heard Tang Panshi talk about it again, and listening to what he said, it seems that it is still somewhat related to today's assassination incident, what happened sixteen years ago, Tang Xiu is now also beginning to have a trace of interest.

"At that time, the lady gave birth to the young master in Luozhou, and died of dystocia and blood collapse, and the old man was sad, so he held the young master who had just been born, and rushed back to Taiyuan from Luozhou directly with his wife's coffin." Tang Panshi said: "Not long after the old man came out of the territory of Luozhou, he encountered an assassination similar to today's, but the old man at that time was not as lucky as today's young master, the old man was hit by a poisonous arrow in his right chest, and the arrow pierced into the bone, and the blood was like an infusion. ”

"In that case, why is he still ......?"

Tang Xiu's face was puzzled, Tang Su had just been dead for less than two years, but the poison of the Broken Soul Incense could take people's lives in a moment, how did Tang Su survive under this poison?

Tang Panshi said: "The master himself has also practiced martial arts for a few years, and his skills are also good, plus the semi-finished antidote prepared by the master, although it cannot be completely detoxified, it can also be temporarily suppressed." That's why the old man was able to insist on bringing the young master back all the way, but because the poison had been in the body for too long, it had been mixed with the qi and blood around the body, and the root of the old man's disease would have fallen, otherwise with the old man's body, he would not have ...... in his forties."

"It's the same sleeve arrow that wiped the soul broken incense, and it's also an assassin with a human skin mask," Tang Panshi raised his head suddenly, and said in a cut voice: "With so many coincidences added together, whether he was sent by the previous enemy or not, we all have to be careful and vigilant, just in case." From the old slave's point of view, let's go and report to Mrs. Tai first! ”

Tang Panshi has not forgotten to report to Mrs. Tai until now, in the entire Tang Mansion, only he, an old man who has been waiting in the Tang Mansion for more than forty years, knows how terrible the old lady who usually looks like she trembles slightly when she even walks, and now only she can guard the young master's thoughtfulness.
