The assassination of the Son of Heaven is a big deal whether it succeeds or not, almost the entire army has been mobilized, hundreds of thousands of troops have entered a state of emergency combat readiness, all the ministers and royal families are not allowed to get off the ship, there are soldiers standing guard in front of each big ship, and there are many discussions on the big ship, and they don't know what the situation is?

There was chaos on the dragon boat of the Son of Heaven, tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of small boats surrounded the dragon boat, the eunuchs and palace maids disembarked in a procession, one by one to be interrogated, hundreds of guards began to search carefully on the dragon boat, not letting go of any corner, even the gaps between the decks.

However, with the exception of the Dancing Assassin, who had committed suicide, no other Assassin accomplices could be found, and small boats patrolled back and forth on the river, with soldiers armed with torches, searching for their fellow Assassins who might be hiding in the water.

The Son of Heaven Yang Guang and Empress Xiao have been transferred to the military camp on the shore, in a big tent, Yang Guang's face is difficult to see, standing in the tent with his hands in his hands, and listening to the report of the general Zhang Jin with a blue face.

"Wei Chen was reminded by General Zhang Xuan that he realized that the assassin's target was actually Shengshang, and they set fire to the palace maid's ship just to divert the attention of the guards on the shore, and he guessed that this dancing assassin must have set fire to it disguised as a palace maid, and then jumped into the water, and secretly climbed onto His Majesty's big ship when everyone's attention was attracted."

"This is what Jang Hyun reminded you?" Yang Guang asked coldly.

"Exactly, he advised the lowly to carefully search His Majesty's ship, and the lowly official realized that there must be an assassin hiding in His Majesty's ship."

Yang Guang immediately ordered: "Xuan Zhangxuan is here to see me!" ”

One of the eunuchs immediately rushed out, and at this time, several guards brought up the inner palace steward who was in charge of the song and dance queen, who was also a eunuch in his fifties, and he was so frightened that he fell to his knees when he entered the big tent. "Your Majesty spares your life!"

Yang Guang snorted and kicked him over, "There are assassins mixed in with the dancing queen, you don't even know?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave and the old slave have been negligent."

"What about the other dancing girls?"

Yang Guang said angrily: "There is a stranger, they don't think it's strange? ”

"There are hundreds of dancing girls. It is common to change around, and not everyone knows even the old slave. ”

"Humph! What's the use of you, drag it out and kill it! ”

Several guards dragged the steward out like wolves, and the steward shouted in fright: "Spare your life!" Your Majesty spares your life! ”

The voice gradually faded away, and Zhang Jin was too frightened to speak, the saint rarely killed the inner servant like this, and today he actually killed a big eunuch, which was enough for his anger.

Zhang Jin originally wanted to report what Zhang Xuan found out in Chen Liu, but he didn't dare to say anything more now. Before the investigation of this matter is confirmed, there must be no more extraneous branches, otherwise the Holy One will only be more angry.

Yang Guang glanced at Zhang Jin, the anger in his eyes subsided slightly, he knew that it was Zhang Jin's timely warning that made the assassin launch in a hurry, otherwise when the assassin launched in front of his eyes, then he would not be saved, speaking of which, Zhang Jin still had the merit of saving the driver.

"Thanks to the Great General tonight, too."

Zhang Jin was flattered. Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a humble duty!" ”

Then. A eunuch reported at the door: "Your Majesty, General Zhang is here." ”

"Announce him in!"

After a while, Zhang Xuan was brought into the big tent by the eunuch, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

"General Zhang is exempt from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jang Hyun stood up and lowered his hands.

Yang Guang said slowly: "You must have heard about what happened tonight, I heard what the general said." You warn him to watch out for the Assassins, and I wonder how you thought that there would be Assassins on board? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen just inferred from common sense that the two slave ships would not catch fire for no reason. And if there is chaos, there will be a loophole in security, Weichen believes that whether there are assassins or not, they should be vigilant, and it is best to transfer His Majesty to another ship, but Weichen did not see this security measure, His Majesty is still on the original ship, so Weichen reminded the general. ”

Yang Guang nodded, "General Zhang is indeed very thoughtful, so General Zhang thinks that this assassination happened by accident, or was it premeditated?" I'd like to hear what you think. ”

Zhang Xuan pondered slightly: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen can only talk about his own views from some clues, not necessarily the truth, I hope Your Majesty will know it!" ”

"That's what you say, I know it."

Yang Guang sat down, and Zhang Xuan actually speculated in advance that there might be an assassination, which made him look at Zhang Xuan with admiration, and he was also interested in his speculation, and he wanted to hear Zhang Xuan's opinion on this assassination.

"Your Majesty, the minister originally thought that the soldiers went to the city to drink and play, and the waist card was stolen, and then the assassin used the waist card to blend into the big ship, but then I thought about it, it was impossible at all, because the harem ship would never allow the Xiaoguo army to go on the ship, and it was useless to hold the waist card, and if there was no careful planning, it would definitely not be possible to find the loophole of the dancing girl, so Weichen thought that the assassin had already mixed into the palace as a palace maid and had been waiting for an opportunity, which should have been planned for a long time."

Yang Guang nodded, and asked again, "Then General Zhang thinks who planned this assassination?" ”

"Your Majesty, this assassination has a certain background, and Weichen believes that it is related to the failure of the Wagang Eastern Expedition."

"What does General Zhang mean is that it was the Wagang Army?"

"Nope! No! ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly said: "The Wagang Army is just a bandit, and it doesn't have such great ability, the key is to control the power of the Wagang Army, Weichen got a piece of information when he interrogated Sun Xuanya, and the people from the Bohai Society had come to Sun Xuanya and asked him to cooperate with the Wagang Army's Eastern Crusade, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can interrogate this bandit leader again." ”

Sun Xuanya has been exiled to Liaodong by Yang Guang's order, and he can no longer be interrogated, but Yang Guang was shocked, it turned out that behind the Wagang Army was the Bohai Society, if it was the Bohai Society that planned this assassination, then it would be reasonable, wouldn't the Gao clan of Northern Qi be the best at palace coups?

This unexpected news made Yang Guang's heart a little upset, and he waved his hand at Zhang Xuan, "General Zhang should step aside first!" The general also stepped back, and I was a little tired. ”

"Retire!"

The two slowly withdrew from the big tent and walked out of the big tent, Zhang Jin shook his head, and said to Zhang Xuan seriously: "General Zhang really shouldn't mention the matter of the Bohai Society, Hebei will enter an eventful autumn, alas-"

Zhang Jin sighed, turned around and left, but Zhang Xuan didn't feel wrong, he said to Yang Guang for a long time, just to induce Yang Guang to associate the assassination case with the Bohai Society, there was only a glimmer of hope for him to stay in Qingzhou, and he would never let go.

Inside the big tent, Yang Guang stared at the top of the tent, his eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes

Zhang Xuan did not return to his ship, but walked quickly to a big tent of the Xiaoguo Army, which was the temporary residence of his own soldiers, there were a total of three large tents, although there was an assassination case, which put the Xiaoguo Army on emergency alert, but they did not belong to the Xiaoguo Army and were not subject to the restrictions of emergency alert.

As soon as Zhang Xuan walked to the front of the big tent, a personal soldier walked out quickly and said in a low voice, "General, we have caught one." ”

Jang Hyun was overjoyed, "Where are the people?" ”

"Outside the barracks!" Some of the brothers were watching him.

"Look at it!"

Zhang Xuan immediately led his horse to the outside of the barracks, he had the pass arrows given to him by Zhang Jin, and he could enter and leave the barracks freely.

Zhang Xuan suspected that after the big man who tried the bow stole a lot of waist cards, he was likely to blend into the barracks, but once Xiaoguowei entered the state of emergency alert, it would be difficult for them to stay, and they would inevitably flee the barracks.

Zhang Xuan followed the soldiers to a vacant house not far from the barracks, and the owner of the house was gone, and this house became a temporary foothold for the soldiers.

More than a dozen pro-soldiers gathered in the courtyard, and when they saw Zhang Xuan coming in, everyone stepped forward to salute, and Zhang Xuan asked with a smile, "Where is the rabbit you caught?" ”

"General Qiyu, it's in the room!"

Jaang Hyun walked into the room and saw a soldier wearing Xiaoguo Army armor sitting against the wall, with his hands tied behind his back, his feet tied, and a cloth bag on his head.

"Untie the cloth pockets!"

A pro-soldier stepped forward and ripped off the cloth pocket on the man's head, revealing a very young face, who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, still a teenager, his eyes were full of fear, he didn't dare to look at Zhang Xuan, and hurriedly lowered his head.

The soldier smiled beside him: "This person is illiterate, he has a name on his waist card, but he doesn't know it, which means he doesn't know who he is, and he doesn't know which barracks to go to?" As a result, he secretly climbed out of the barracks and was caught by us. ”

"What's your name?" Zhang Xuan asked coldly.

"The villain's name is Golden Dog." The boy replied timidly.

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, he thought about all kinds of interrogation torture all the way, but now he found that he didn't need these tortures at all.

"I wonder where is the mighty sea? If you don't, then you're the Assassin tonight, do you know what happened to the Assassin? Zhu Jiu Clan! (To be continued.) )
