Chapter 41: An Unexpected Discovery

readx;

Wu Meiniang has been very busy recently, and all kinds of information have been transferred through her hands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because of Li Chengqian's matter, there is an atmosphere of wind and rain, and Wu Meiniang has also been affected here.

Du He's three wives, Changle and Wu Meiniang are the most intelligent, and Du He will discuss with them whenever there is something difficult to settle. But due to Changle's special identity, there are some things that need to be concealed a little. This is naturally not distrust, but Changle attaches great importance to feelings, and telling her some things will put her in a dilemma.

is like Li Chengqian's incident, Li Chengqian is certainly bad, but how is it also her eldest brother, after the debate happened, she could still comfort herself mentally in front of Empress Changsun, and after Empress Changsun returned to the palace, she cried alone for half the night.

Wu Meiniang seemed to be the first strategist beside Du He, and Du He also told her about Li Chengqian's rebellion. Wu Meiniang also knows a lot about this palace coup, and if she is not careful, she will be killed immediately. Therefore, in the past few days, she has passed down orders, closely watching the actions of Hou Junji and Eldest Sun Wuji, and she has also used her mental strength in intelligence analysis.

On this day, an inconspicuous piece of information appeared in Wu Meiniang's eyes.

The intelligence is about Nam Hong.

Wu Meiniang couldn't remember who this person was for a while, and after thinking about it seriously for a while, she remembered Nan Hong.

It was at the time of the homicide at Hongfu Temple, and Nanhong was the tragic man who wore a green hat, and because of the word "Nan" written by the deceased, he was almost considered the murderer.

While mistaking his killer, an interesting thing happens. On the night the deceased was killed, Nam Hong stayed up all night and seemed to be dealing with something important. No matter how he was interrogated, Nan Hong did not explain where he went that night.

At that time, Du He felt strange, according to the facts of the case at that time, all the spearheads were pointed at Nan Hong, and if he could not explain where he was at the time of the crime, he would be accused of being the murderer of two corpses and three lives. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, this is a life-paying sin. "A person is willing to give his life in order to hide his whereabouts, and his husband is very curious, what is it that makes this Nan Hong bite his mouth." This is what Du He said to Wu Meiniang after solving the Hongfu Temple case.

At that time, Wu Meiniang's intelligence network was in the idle stage, and there was nothing to do.

So Du He gossiped and gave an order, asking Wu Meiniang to investigate Nan Hong's whereabouts that night and what he did, which could satisfy that little curiosity and achieve the purpose of training, killing two birds with one stone.

Wu Meiniang also gave the order.

Strange to say, Nan Hong disappeared out of thin air that night, and no matter how much he investigated, he couldn't find a trace.

Because it was just a curious move, Du He then forgot about it, and Wu Meiniang didn't pay much attention to it, so she didn't expect to get news of him unexpectedly today.

"On July 8, Nanjia transported smuggled goods to the north, near the straight road, and stopped inexplicably, and then Nan Hongshan rode north, and his whereabouts are unknown. About half an hour, Nan Hong came back with three carriages. The identity of the carriage is unknown, and several people are unknown. But Nan Hong had great respect for the people in the car, calling them Mrs. Hou, the eldest young master, the second young master, the third young master, and the eldest lady......"

The information was a little inexplicable, but Wu Meiniang's natural keen intuition detected a trace of unnaturalness.

"Mrs. Hou, the eldest young master, the second young master, the third young master, the eldest miss?" She immediately turned out the information of Hou Junji, Hou Junji sent a wife, three sons and a daughter, after the Qixi Festival, she never stepped out of the mansion half a step.

Is this a coincidence, or is it ......

No, it's not a coincidence......

Wu Meiniang got up suddenly, and remembered Du He's question again, and at this moment she had an answer.

Nan Hong held on to his death because that night, he had a rebellious relationship with Hou Junji, and the crime of two corpses and three lives was the crime of paying for his life, but the rebellion was the crime of extermination.

This is the key to Nan Hong's willingness to be falsely accused of being a murderer and not revealing where he went that night.

Hou Junji sent his family away, it was a desperate gamble to have no worries, and they rebelled against the palace in the near future.

Wu Meiniang rushed out of the secret office, found a horse, and went straight to Shangshu Province.

Shangshu Province sits outside the Taiji Palace, as the head of the administration, and is heavily guarded. It is impossible for Wu Meiniang to enter, so she can only let the doorman report outside.

"Mrs. Du, Lord Du seems to have entered the palace, and he is not in Shangshu Province." The guards at the door responded politely, Duhe is very popular, even the doorman has a good impression of him, and he is also kind to his wife.

"Then I'm looking for my father-in-law, is Du Xiang here?" Wu Meiniang was anxious.

The soldier also shook his head and said, "Du Xiang and Fang Xiang have already gone out on business and are not in Shangshu Province. ”

Wu Meiniang didn't say much, jumped on the horse and whipped up, and rushed directly to Dufu.

Now in this situation, only Changle can be invited to come out, and only Changle can freely enter and leave the palace at this time and notify Du He.

Wu Meiniang couldn't determine when Li Chengqian and Hou Junji would force the palace, but it was already certain that it would be in the near future. If you act late in this kind of thing, you will lose a chance and have more possibilities to be detected. She was afraid that Li Chengqian and they would choose today, and she was worried that Du He would be unprepared.

Li Shimin's life and death, Wu Meiniang is not concerned, but now that Du He is in the palace, it is very likely that she will fall into it, and she can't help but act cautiously.

Now I can only trouble and grieve Changle.

**********

East Palace.

The two sides are still holding each other.

Du He was a little annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect Hou Junji to be so powerful, and he had already buried Zhongsun Zhi's chess piece half a year ago.

Twelve of them dealt with two hundred dead soldiers, and even if they did not win, they would not be defeated quickly. The sound of fighting and shouting to kill, as long as it spreads, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and at that time, Li Chengqian will have three heads and six arms, and he will be helpless. It is precisely because of this that Du He dared to go deep into the tiger's den with Li Shimin.

However, the appearance of Zhongsun Zhi made the situation confusing.

Du He thinks that his martial arts are good, but he doesn't think he has the ability to be a thousand. With his current light skills, forcibly breaking into the palace may not be impossible to break out. But what if you break out? Whether it is asking for help or doing anything, it will inevitably take half an hour, facing more than 1,000 people, can the remaining eleven people support half an hour?

As soon as Li Shimin fell into the hands of Li Chengqian, he called for reinforcements, what could he do?

I really underestimated the people of the world, thinking that everything was under control, but I didn't expect that today I would capsize in the gutter, so Hou Junji put it together.

Du He looked at Li Chengqian with both eyes, now the only chance to win is to capture the thief and capture the king, the sword is gradually out of the sheath, Li Chengqian is fifteen steps away from him, if it is fast enough, there is a thirty percent chance to kill Li Chengqian's guards around him, and capture him alive.

Just when he was about to make a move, Li Shimin on the side pressed his shoulder.

Du He looked back in amazement.

Li Shimin still had a faint smile at this moment, and he was not interested in the current crisis at all, and the eyes that could see through everything had already seen through Du He's intentions, and said in a low voice: "We are guarding the ......" He didn't explain anything, but his tone was full of confidence in everything, and everything seemed to be under control.

"How are you thinking about it, dear father!" Li Chengqian has the ticket to victory, and his already conceited character is even more arrogant.

Li Shimin said proudly: "I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and if I want to force me to abdicate, I must show convincing strength." ”

"In that case, don't blame Erchen for being rude...... Do it, don't hurt your father, leave Du He's life, and the others don't care if they live or die......," Li Chengqian smiled and gave an order. After all, Li Shimin is the emperor, and Li Chengqian has the courage to force the palace, but he definitely does not have the courage to kill his father and the king, and Li Shimin must not be hurt. As for leaving Du He's life, it was Li Chengqian who wanted to take revenge and tortured him.

With his order, two hundred well-armed dead soldiers rushed over together.

The coiling dragon sword came out of its sheath, and in a flash, it blocked in front of Li Shimin, and the long sword in his hand pierced into the chest of the first person who was approaching with tricky steps. These two hundred dead soldiers, dressed in Datang Guang Armor, their complexions changed slightly, and they shouted: "It's not good, it's Light Armor, use assassination to kill the enemy's ......"

The light armor is one of the famous armors of the Tang Dynasty, and the key points are protected by iron sheets, second only to the Mingguang armor, which has extremely high protective power, especially in the protective chopping, which has extraordinary results.

The Tang Dynasty had extremely strict control over armor, and Li Chengqian actually got 200 sets of light armor, which was really not simple.

Before Du He's reminder, there had already been a confrontation between Qianniuwei and Li Chengqian's dead soldiers.

The sword slashed at the top of the light armor, and deep marks were visible, but it did not hurt the flesh and skin.

Listening to Duhe's shouting, they changed their slashes to thorns, which only then did they inflict damage on the enemy.

Li Chengqian's dead soldiers are first-class warriors who have been on the battlefield for a long time, but the ten guards beside Li Shimin are all warriors selected by the Xuanjia Army, the first army in the world, and their combat experience and personal martial arts are even higher than the other party. The weapon in their hands is an improved war knife, which combines the strength of the Tang knife and the worry of the scimitar of later generations, which can be chopped and stabbed.

In the face of the offensive of 200 people, they did not retreat a single step and held on.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled, flashed out from behind Du He, the sword light flashed, and sent the long sword into the heart of a dead soldier through his chest, and said with a smile: "Don't treat me as a paper paste, when I killed the enemy on the battlefield, your kid was not born yet...... While talking and laughing, two more people killed the sword.

These dead soldiers did not dare to hurt Li Shimin, but instead gave Li Shimin the greatest space to show, and the long sword danced, but he did not dare to step forward.

Seeing Li Shimin fighting side by side with him, Du He was proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "Now it is the world of young people...... The Panlong Sword was radiant, and Bai Lian was like a dragon, rolling vertically and horizontally. Under this divine weapon, the light armor was like paper paste, cracking under the sword and killing.

Du He, like Zhao Zilong in Changbanpo, faced Cao Cao's order not to kill, but instead went on a killing spree.

Li Chengqian finally realized his stupidity, and shouted angrily: "Kill Du He, kill Du He......"
