Everyone sat down, Xiao Buyi was in the main position, Murong Luoyu, Li Yuan, and Liu Zhenghui were in the left hand, and Gao Junya was in the right hand, and Wang Wei was accompanied.

Originally, in terms of official ranks, Li Yuan and Gao Junya, Wang Wei seemed to be Murong Luoyan was just a partial general, and he couldn't sit on the top of Li Yuan. However, Li Yuan was extremely humble and kind, insisting that Murong Luo Throat Taiyuan had made great contributions to the siege, and he took the initiative to join forces with Liu Zhenghui, but Murong Luo Throat was not humble, so he sat on top of Li Yuan.

Wine is good wine, food is good food, Gao Junya, as the host, of course, frequently toasts to Xiao Buyi.

He is somewhat ghostly, and his heart is pounding.

"Lord Xiao has made many miraculous feats recently, which is really a blessing for my Great Sui, and the officials are not talented, so I will salute Lord Xiao again."

Xiao Buyi drank a cup from a high position, but he also felt high-spirited, and squinted at Li Yuan and said: "Lord Li is actually indispensable, if it weren't for the main force of Li Shanfei in Huoyi, I wouldn't be able to succeed in one blow." In that case, I should give Master Li a drink. ”

Li Yuan stood up with a smile and said: "General Xiao is really too humble, the old man is old, Huo Yi can't break through, if General Xiao doesn't break the siege, maybe he can't drink here, or the old man respects General Xiao for a drink." ”

He has a humble attitude, except for Liu Zhenghui and Xiao Buyi, but they all look unpleasant. Xindao This old ghost has no other skills except for flattery, and if the position left behind in Taiyuan falls on his head, it is really Yang Guang who is blind.

After Xiao Buyi and Li Yuan drank a cup of each other, he turned his head to look at Murong Luo and said: "General Murong is also indispensable in the suppression of bandits, General Pan is dead, Taiyuan City is in danger, General Murong tried his best to save the people of Taiyuan from being slaughtered, this alone is already worthy of my toast." ”

Murong Luo's hands trembled a little with excitement, he was just a partial general, Xiao Buyi called him General Sheng, that was a very face-saving thing, he was a general who was 108,000 miles away from Xiao Buyi, "Lord Xiao toasted, and the lower official was honored." ”

"In fact, to be able to defend Taiyuan City, except for General Murong, all the adults present have merit." Xiao Buyi raised his glass and signaled, "I am powerless to reward me, I can only metabolize with a glass of water and wine." ”

Everyone shouted in unison, and they all said their duty, and Lord Xiao won the award.

Gao Junya was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, he was a master here, and Xiao Buyi didn't say anything polite except for having a glass of wine with him. He wanted Xiao Buyi's support too much, so he offered the treasure knife, but at the moment, it seemed self-defeating. Looking at the smile on Xiao Buyi's face, mysterious and unpredictable, Gao Junya suddenly felt a little cold in her heart, after the knife seller appeared once last time, he disappeared again, what is the doorway here?

However, he didn't think much about it at the moment, and only thought about killing Li Yuan before the holy decree arrived.

Whoever stays in Taiyuan will be killed, and he will kill until he can become a guard! Rights drive people crazy, and they also make people ignore more crises for a while.

Everyone drank three rounds, sang and danced, Gao Junya spent a lot of effort for this banquet, and the singers invited were famous in Taiyuan City. For a while, red, fat, green and thin, singing and dancing lightly attracted the attention of too many people.

Xiao Buyi looked over from above, and saw Li Yuan stretching his neck from time to time to talk to Liu Zhenghui, watching the song and dance with interest, pointing and pointing, from the outside, Li Yuan even felt a little confused. Xiao Buyi couldn't help but sigh when he saw it. This Li Yuan is very cautious at all times, quietly wooing the backbone of the middle and lower classes of the gate valve, and pretending to be stupid is also a must.

The singing and dancing became more and more urgent, and when he drank bitterly, Li Yuan suddenly frowned and looked at the cup.

This action was extremely subtle, but Gao Junya was awe-inspiring in her heart, and coughed softly.

A small worm landed in Li Yuan's wine glass, Li Yuan stopped drinking, and looked up at the top of the building. As soon as the music tightened, there was a 'click' sound, the roof of the building cracked, and a person covered his face with a black scarf, flew down, and stabbed Li Yuan with a long sword in his hand!

Most of the people still didn't know why, but Gao Junya's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "There are assassins!" ”

When he said that there was an assassin, he had already blocked in front of Xiao Buyi for the first time, and the assassin's sword had already stabbed Li Yuan's arm, and blood burst out.

Li Yuan's face was colorless, and he fell backwards with a rolling belt, shouting loudly: "Help! ”

Xiao Buyi Huo Ran stood up, and without waiting for any movement, a group of people were already surrounding in front of him, Murong Luoyu, Wang Wei, and Gao Junya were all standing in front of Xiao Buyi, all on guard.

"Don't fall for the assassins' plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and protect General Xiao." Wang Wei shouted.

Everyone guarded Xiao Buyi, but the assassin chased and killed Li Yuan like a tiger on the mountain. After Li Yuan was hit by a sword, he did not resist, but just drilled from one table to another. Although he was not young, he was not slow at all when he fled for his life, and the assassin was as agile as a cheetah and a goshawk, and he could not be killed in his eastern hiding.

Xiao Buyi was blocked by everyone and couldn't see the excitement, but he still remembered that he couldn't just watch the excitement, and shouted loudly: "Protect Lord Li and arrest the assassin." ”

Liu Zhenghui was the first to react, picked up the table and smashed it at the assassin.

He is Sima of Yingyang Mansion, and he looks like Mr. Teaching, and the table case thrown out desperately is also vigorous.

The rest of the people wanted to rush out to help, but they felt that their friendship with Li Yuan was not worth working so hard, so they inevitably hesitated.

The assassin returned with a punch and cracked the table, raised his foot and kicked the table, regardless of Liu Zhenghui, he still stabbed Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was embarrassed, drenched in juice and bloodstained, but his movements were unhindered, and he made another leap and got under another table.

Gao Junya couldn't help but secretly hate stomping her feet, this Li Yuan is not an ordinary shameless, even if he escapes, it makes people want to scold.

The assassin had done his best, but in a hurry, he was helpless to take Li Yuan. There was a commotion upstairs in the heyday, and the singers danced wildly, but the soldiers finally rushed upstairs.

Gao Junya felt Xiao Buyi's burning gaze look at his back, knowing that he couldn't delay any longer, and shouted: "Catch the assassin!" ”

The soldier Huo Ran stepped forward and surrounded the Assassin, who had his back to the pillar and was not afraid to face the soldiers. Except for Liu Zhenghui, everyone present felt that it was a pity, and secretly said that Li Yuan's life was big, so they would not kill him like this. I thought that the assassin would never be able to escape under the siege of the soldiers, but I didn't expect him to reflexively take two steps, stand up lightly, step on the pillar and actually go up three steps, and when he was about to fall, his arm shook sharply, and the sword pierced into the wooden pillar of the restaurant.

When the long sword was slightly bent, the man rose up again, and had already reached out to put his hand on the beam on the roof of the building.

The soldiers were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect that this ape-like agility would not have time to stop it. Xiao Buyi suddenly shouted, "Stay." ”

He shouted, and there was a 'clatter' in his hand, and the wine glass he was holding had shattered into several pieces. With a sharp wave of his arm, he turned into a few dark shadows and shot out. The assassin didn't have time to dodge, and the crumbs of the wine glass hit the shoulder and thigh, and blood dripped in the air.

The assassin was also fierce, and he didn't hum, he went straight up to the beam, drilled through the hole in the roof, and disappeared again.

All the officials were shocked, and their eyes were full of fear, just because although they heard that Xiao Buyi was brave and invincible, and it was rumored that Xiao Buyi was actually the first master of the Great Sui after Li Xuanba, they all thought that they were immediately kung fu, and they couldn't resist such skills as an assassin.

In an instant, everyone had suspicions, and with Xiao Buyi's martial arts, if he made a move, Li Yuan would not be so embarrassed, but he had been hiding behind everyone to watch the play, could it be that the assassin was sent by Xiao Buyi?

This is also very likely, just because no one will think that the power is too big, Xiao Buyi is now sitting in Shanxi, and naturally wants to take care of everything, he doesn't seem to care about staying in Taiyuan, maybe he has been staring at this position for a long time.

Gao Junya stomped her feet in a hurry and scolded: "A group of useless waste, why don't you chase after it?" ”

The soldiers did not have this kind of lightweight ability, so they could only run out of the building again, wanting to see where the assassin had run from the roof, and when they turned around again, they said in fear: "My lord, the assassin has no idea where he is going. ”

Gao Junya kicked the soldiers who had returned to him, and said angrily: "It's useless to raise you bunch of waste, go and check the Dingsheng Building in detail to see if there are any assassins hidden." The whole city is under martial law, and those who leave the city are strictly examined, and the assassin is injured in the shoulder and thigh. ”

When he turned around, Gao Jun Ya Shili said: "General Xiao, my subordinates are incompetent, please forgive me." ”

Xiao Buyi sighed, "Everyone has done their best, what a crime." ”

After taking a few hurried steps, Xiao Buyi came to a table, overturned the table, and said apologetically to Li Yuan under the table: "Lord Li, the assassin has left, please come out and talk about it." ”

Li Yuan's head was like a bowl of chowder noodles, and his whole body trembled a little in pain, "General Xiao, it is not good for the lower officials to rescue, please forgive me." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and could only sigh that the assassin wanted to kill Li Yuan, and the sky was really blind. Who wants to kill such an incompetent person?

Gao Junya was somewhat depressed when she saw Li Yuan's embarrassment, and felt that Hongji was not as clever as she imagined, but she just thought that she was there to kill Li Yuan instead, and she was helpless against this kind of person who smeared oil on the soles of her shoes.

Xiao Buyi stretched out his hand to help Li Yuan up, and sighed: "Lord Li still remembers me in such a crisis, how can you not move me." You are still stunned about what to do, and you still don't go and ask the doctor to come. ”

Before the imperial doctor arrived, Xiao Buyi was not too greasy, and personally brushed off the dishes on Li Yuan's body, checked his injuries, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I haven't moved my muscles and bones yet, but Master Li, what kind of enemy do you have, and let people chase and kill here?" ”

Old Li Yuan's eyes were full of tears, and he was both moved and puzzled, "General Xiao, the old man has always been loyal to the country, and I don't understand who will kill me." ”

"Could it be manslaughter?" Wang Wei said suddenly: "This person may want to kill Lord Xiao, but he just saw that Lord Xiao's side was heavily guarded, so he shifted the target, and the delusion hit the west?" ”

Xiao Buyi was awe-inspiring, "What Lord Wang said is very reasonable, but who wants to kill me?" ”

Wang Wei's face turned a little pale, and he said after a while: "General Xiao has won a hundred battles, although he has made great achievements for the Great Sui, but in the eyes of the bandits, he is a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, this assassin may not be the remnants of Lishan Fei." ”

Xiao Buyi was furious and said: "These bandits simply don't take me seriously, come here!" ”

"The subordinates are here." Sun Shaofang rushed upstairs early.

Xiao Buyi said angrily: "Sun Shaofang, you take the elite soldiers of the Right Xiaowei Mansion to search Taiyuan City, looking for people with wounds on their shoulders and thighs, if they resist, they will be killed." ”

"Yes." Sun Shaofang listened to the order.

Xiao Buyi said suddenly: "Wait." ”

"What else do you command?"

"Don't disturb the people." Xiao Buyi is compassionate and humane.

Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts did not disturb the people to search for how to catch the thief, this Lord Xiao's performance was really bad, and there were still some doubts that ninety percent of them must be assassins sent by Xiao Buyi, but why did he hurt the assassins, most of them were bitter tricks.

**After Xiao Buyi gave orders to the soldiers, the imperial doctor finally arrived, helped Li Yuan heal his wounds, and did a meticulous bandage.

The assassin stabbed Li Yuan in the arm with a sword, but the injury was not serious. After Xiao Buyi saw that the bandage was secure, he personally helped Li Yuan up and said, "Lord Li, whether you have suffered an unwarranted disaster or not, I must personally send you back this time." Lord Li is waiting at home, and I will try my best to catch the assassin and give him an explanation. ”

Li Yuan was moved by the old tears, "General Xiao is really serious, let's not talk about the old man, if the assassin really wants to assassinate General Xiao, it is also an honor for the old man to block a sword for you." ”

The others listened and wanted to vomit, but the two people concerned felt good, the feast reached this level, no one was in the mood to eat anymore, but before everyone left, the sound of horses' hooves downstairs was urgent, and the people of the house had already arrived upstairs under the escort of the guards, and shouted: "Tang Guogong Li Yuan takes the order." ”

Li Yuan hurriedly knelt down, "The minister accepts the order." ”

"I heard that Tang Guogong Li Yuanshan Shanxi had a meritorious role in suppressing bandits, first leveled Wuweier, and then cut down Lishan Fei, and also had a meritorious role in saving Yanmen, and he was specially appointed to stay in Taiyuan, that is, he took office, and he admired this!"

Li Yuan shouted long live three times, stepped forward to accept the order, his face was not wiped clean, and he looked red.

Everyone sighed and hated, especially Gao Junya, but he was the first to step forward and laugh: "Lord Li, I have long said that the remaining post belongs to the adult, and it is really gratifying to congratulate everyone now." ”

"Blessings and misfortunes," Wang Wei shook his head and said: "It turns out that Lord Li is talking about the bloody disaster today, but it means that the official luck is prosperous, and the lower officials can't help but want to take a sword." ”

Wang Wei and Gao Junya were originally left behind in Taiyuan, similar to Li Yuan's official position, but now they have become deputies, and they inevitably feel a little sour when they speak.

Liu Zhenghui didn't pat the horse, but retreated to the side, Murong Luo secretly clenched his fists, quite unconvinced. Xiao Buyi watched coldly, seeing all the living beings, smiling silently.

Li Yuan greeted the two novices, and immediately looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "General Xiao, in fact, the position left in Taiyuan ......"

"Master Li deserves it." Xiao Buyi cut off and said, "I also want to congratulate Master Li." ”

Li Yuan had a sad face, not like a promotion, but like being exiled. Everyone didn't wait for the congratulations to be finished, and there was a rapid sound of hooves downstairs, and another person hurriedly went upstairs and said loudly: "Xiao Buyi, the general of the right Xiaowei, receives the order." ”

Xiao Buyi was stunned, and Shi Li said: "The minister is here." ”

"I heard that Xiao Buyi had a meritorious role in quelling the chaos, and he was allowed to return to Kyoto to face the saint before the year, and he admired this."

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled by the meaning of the saint. Xiao Buyi frowned and said nothing after thanking him, and the general secretary put away the holy decree and handed it to Xiao Buyi, and said with a smile: "General Xiao, you are the only general who can have the glory of the saint now, which is really gratifying." ”

"Can the Holy One let me turn back immediately?"

"That's not necessary." Tongshi Sheren smiled and said: "Since the holy decree said that the year ago, now there are still a few days before the New Year, if Lord Xiao has something, he can deal with it first and then turn back." ”

Xiao Buyi is now a celebrity around Yang Guang, even if he is respectful. Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "I see." ”

**After Gao Junya turned around the mansion, he was furious, and all his subordinates were awe-inspiring and did not dare to approach. Gao Junya is a little worried about Hongji's whereabouts, this time the assassination will not succeed, and there will be another chance. It's just that after Li Yuan was assassinated by this trip, he was promoted to Taiyuan to stay behind, and it was even more difficult to start again. He has worked hard all his life, nothing more than fame and fortune, this time he lost his armor and was not promoted, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Fidgeting and waiting until the night, when the lights were on, Gao Junya still didn't hear Hongji's news, and couldn't help but be even more anxious.

He sent his cronies early to find out Hongji's whereabouts, but until now, there has been no news all the way back.

Hongji's surname is Liu, and he is a ranger at best, but he is a ruffian if he doesn't want to be a soldier, so he slaughtered a ploughing cow and went to prison, and he was also a king in prison. Gao Junya valued his martial arts, so he was released from prison and has been raised until now. Thinking of Xiao Buyi's shot, Gao Junya still shuddered, secretly glad that she had never touched Xiao Buyi's thoughts, otherwise she wouldn't know how to die. But he clearly saw that Liu Hongji's injury was not serious, and with his skills, there was absolutely no reason for people to catch him, but if he didn't turn around at this time, did he really have an accident?

As he was pondering, he hurriedly rushed in from outside the hall and said anxiously: "Lord Gao, it's not a good thing, there are elite soldiers outside who surround Gaofu." ”

Gao Junya stood up, "Where are the elite soldiers?" ”

"The guards of the Right Xiaowei Mansion, the villain doesn't dare to obstruct it." The subordinate had a bitter face.

Gao Junya took a breath, barely calmed herself, and secretly said Did Xiao Buyi catch Liu Hongji, and he betrayed himself again, otherwise how could Xiao Buyi come so quickly?

If the assassination happened, then his own crime was not light, but how could this be? However, even if Liu Hongji betrayed himself and refused to admit his guilt to death, Xiao Buyi and Li Yuan might not be able to help themselves.

With the psychology of luck, Gao Junya calmed down: "Take me out to have a look." ”

When they got out of the courtyard, a team of elite soldiers had already rushed to the Gaofu, all holding torches, and the courtyard was as bright as day, and the first person was Sun Shaofang.

Listening to the footsteps outside the courtyard wall, I really don't know how many soldiers came, Gao Junya was secretly frightened, and reluctantly smiled: "I don't know what happened to Lord Sun?" ”

Sun Shaofang was polite, and arched his hand: "Lord Gao, some guards found that the assassin who assassinated Lord Li infiltrated the Gao Mansion, and I was in a hurry, so the guards surrounded here, and I asked Lord Gao not to be surprised." ”

Gao Junya didn't wait to speak, Xiao Buyi's hearty voice had already come, "Shaofang is neat, I heard that you have surrounded the assassin, and this time you definitely can't let him run away again." What's the matter, won't Master Gao let me catch it? ”

When Xiao Buyi's voice arrived, he was followed by Wang Wei, Murong Luoyu and a group of people, Li Yuan hung his arms, and he also followed behind Xiao Buyi, his face gloomy.

Gao Junya couldn't help palpitating, but forced a smile and said: "If there is really an assassin mixed in here, of course I will be the first to catch the assassin, this person dares to assassinate Lord Li, it is really an unforgivable crime." ”

"Now that Master Gao has agreed, what are you still doing in a daze." Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "Shaofang, you take people to search, but you are just searching people, don't damage other things in Gaofu." ”

Sun Shaofang nodded yes, ignoring Gao Junya's pale face. The guards wandered away, searching carefully, not to mention people, not even ants.

Before the time of tea, Sun Shaofang had already turned around and said loudly: "Lord Xiao, there is a rockery in the back garden of Gaofu, and there is a secret room hidden in the rockery, and the guards are trying to find a way to open it. ”

Gao Junya's face changed slightly, but he could still laugh, because he knew that Liu Hongji would definitely not be in it.

"Lord Xiao, in fact, it is not uncommon for there to be a secret room in the mansion, and I think most of you have this kind of thing in your family. Lord Xiao wants to see it, I'll just open it, why bother the guards. ”

Wang Wei nodded and said, "What Master Gao said is right, I also have one at home, this is really nothing." ”

Gao Junya glanced at Wang Wei with some gratitude, and it was true that he was in trouble and saw the truth, and he said that Wang Wei was not bad with himself, which would make others suspicious, only he was willing to help himself.

Without waiting for Gao Junya to open the secret room, another guard arrived and said loudly: "General Xiao, the secret room has been opened, and a corpse has been found inside." There are scars on the shoulders and thighs, but the fatal wound is a knife in the heart. ”

Gao Junya was shocked, "What did you say?" ”

The guards quickly lifted the dead man over, revealing the scars on his shoulders and thighs, the figure of the man was similar to that of a masked assassin, but Gao Junya knew that he had never seen this person, and he knew that this person was definitely not an assassin.

But what happened to a dead man coming out of the secret room, Gao Junya Huo Ran thought of something, and was already shocked into a cold sweat.

Xiao Buyi glanced at the corpse and asked lightly, "Lord Gao, the assassin died in your secret room, I don't know how you can explain it?" ”

Gao Junya said in a trembling voice: "Lord Xiao, I never know about this matter, someone framed the lower officials. Besides, only a corpse was found in the secret room, which really didn't mean much. ”

Everyone was speechless, but Sun Shaofang said: "I'm just afraid that someone will buy a murderer to assassinate Master Li, and kill people after the defeat, but it's too late to dispose of the body." ”

Gao Junya said angrily: "What did you say? ”

Of course, Sun Shaofang was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows what I say. ”

Gao Junya didn't wait for an excuse, and another guard ran over, but there were a few letters in his hand, "Lord Xiao, I found a few letters from Gao Junya's bedroom, and I ask you to check them." ”

Xiao Buyi just glanced at it and handed it to Li Yuan behind him, "Lord Li help me take a look, I'm ashamed to say that I don't know a few big characters." ”

Gao Junya clenched his fists, feeling that he was already like a trapped beast in a cage, and he suddenly found that the corpse letters were all generated out of thin air, and he had fallen into other people's calculations.

Li Yuan opened the letter and looked at it a few times, but his face changed greatly, "General Xiao, this is a letter from Gao Junya and the Turks, he actually plotted a rebellion, and with the support of the Turks, he is ready to attack Taiyuan with Lishan Feili and Yingwai!" ”

"Li Yuan, you framed me!" Gao Junya roared sharply and took a few steps back.

Xiao Buyi slapped his chin and said easily: "Gao Junya, the evidence is conclusive, if you feel wronged, you can go to Dali Temple to find out." Wang Wei, go and take down Gao Junya. ”

Wang Wei Huoran stepped forward, all the soldiers followed closely behind, Gao Junya retreated again and again, and said angrily: "General Xiao, someone framed me!" ”

Wang Wei said in a deep voice: "Gao Junya, don't be caught yet." ”

With the sound of 'choking', Wang Wei's long knife came out of the sheath, but he lowered his voice and said, "Don't go quickly." ”

Gao Junya's heart was in turmoil, and when she heard Wang Wei's reminder, she suddenly had the idea of escaping. Now there is no way to tell, but fortunately, Wang Wei is still righteous enough to help himself openly and secretly. Gao Junya didn't hesitate any longer, drew the knife in his hand, and broke off his drink sharply, and in an instant, he had already killed a way and retreated to the side of the wall.

With the strength of his toes, he will run for his life on the wall, as long as he escapes from the courtyard wall, the guards outside may not be able to stop him!

He put his hand on the wall, and was about to turn over it with all his might, when he heard a piercing scream behind him, and a 'poof' sound, which had been nailed to the wall by a spear.

Gao Junya wanted to turn her head, but she felt that she had no strength in her body, and fell into the darkness to hear Xiao Buyi's last words.

"Gao Junya conspired with the Turks, colluded with the bandits to fly in the mountains, and plotted to assassinate Tang Guogong, but he was defeated and resisted arrest, and there was no forgiveness for killing!"

(To be continued)
