On the way to the imperial study, the atmosphere was a little solemn in a group of three.

"Lord Wu, have you offended anyone recently?"

Li Yinzhi thought about it for a long time, and finally could only come up with such a possibility, although this possibility is relatively low.

Wu Mengquan has almost no particularly close relationship with the officials of the DPRK and China, and he is a stranger when he goes to the DPRK.

In addition, this person's temperament is introverted, or he is wise to protect himself and reduce some unnecessary involvement, so it is impossible to see who he is better with on the surface.

"Why do you ask that?"

Wu Mengquan's ears were still tingling, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but he didn't dare, hearing Li Yinzhi ask this, he felt aggrieved in his heart, just like boiling water.

Liu Wei shook his head: "I investigated the people around Master Wu as quickly as possible, and they all said that he had never had a grudge against anyone, if it was a battle of tongues above the court, the lower officials thought that there was not so much hatred, and they had to put people to death." ”

Li Yinzhi touched his chin and recalled Wu Mengquan's previous speech in the court, and nodded his head.

Indeed, Wu Mengquan is cautious and tries not to stand in line in the court, but in fact, he is neutral on the surface.

However, only these people know that it is Bai Li Ye who really stands in line with Wu Mengquan.

Either......

It was he who was discovered.

"Lord Wu's itinerary is very fixed, everyone in the Wu Mansion knows it, and people who know a little bit about Lord Wu also know it, so it is very convenient to ambush and assassinate on a fixed route." Liu Wei said lightly.

"I heard that a coachman died?"

"Yes, the coachman's body has been pulled back by the family." Liu Wei glanced at Wu Mengquan, who was focusing on his ears, and said softly: "That assassin is a hired killer, he will leave immediately if he misses a blow, leaving no traces, and the weapons used are also the most common, and they can't find the source." ”

Li Yinzhi frowned slightly, looked around cautiously, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he put his head between the two of them and said in a low voice: "Is that coming for the general?" ”

Wu Mengquan was shocked and hurriedly explained: "I hid it well!" ”

Liu Wei frowned, feeling that this possibility was not too great.

"If it's for the general, then the general leaves Yicheng, which is the best time to start. What's more, I heard that the matter over there in Shuzhou has come to an end, and the general should already be on the way back, it is not a wise move to attack Lord Wu at this time, and ......" Liu Wei paused, glanced up and down at Wu Mengquan, and said: "Lord Wu has not shown his vest since he followed the general, even if he wants to do it, it should be for you, Lord Li, right?" Or, me. ”

Li Yinzhi's brows trembled, this Liu Wei is really a character, making this kind of speculation, he didn't forget to throw himself in, ruthless enough.

But if you really compare, they stand together, and even Liu Wei is more important.

Because although Li Yinzhi is a scholar, he is a Ministry of Rites, and he is in charge of royal sacrifices, ceremonial music, diplomacy and other work, and when it comes to real power and importance, he is not as big as Liu Wei, the Yicheng Mansion.

It didn't take long for the study to arrive.

Bai Li Xian had already heard the news, and there was no turmoil in his heart, but he was a little surprised.

Wu Mengquan, he didn't have much contact with this person, but he also knew that this person was not a person who caused trouble everywhere.

"Is anyone coming?" Baili Xian Zhu hooked his pen and threw a book aside.

Ying Rong glanced out, saw three figures, and turned around and said, "Back to the emperor, it seems to be here." ”

"Let them just come in."

"Yes."

Ying Rong replied, and stood outside to greet people.

Although the three of them are court officials, their status is higher than that of Ying Rong, an inner servant, but Ying Rong has followed Baili Xian since he was a child, and his relationship with Baili Xian is very close, and he is also quite trusted by Baili Xian.

At this point, they had to bow their heads in front of Ying Rong.

"Yo, Lord Wu, is this injury not light?" Ying Rong's thin voice was slightly worried.

Wu Mengquan smiled bitterly, and followed Ying Rong, Li Yinzhi and Liu Wei into the threshold of the imperial study.

Baili Xian glanced up, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched: "How is the injury?" ”

"Emperor Xie cares, Weichen is safe and sound, and he can still supervise the repair of the temple." Wu Mengquan hurriedly spoke, for fear that Bai Li Xian would change his errand to others.

Baili Xian supported his forehead, looking helpless: "I don't look like you're in danger of life, Lord Liu, can you catch the assassin?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I haven't caught it yet, Weichen will definitely do his best." Liu Wei looked serious and lowered his eyes.

"Okay, what is Li Shangshu here for?" Baili Xian turned his gaze to Li Yinzhi, who was looking at Wu Mengquan.

Li Yinzhi came back to his senses and arched his hand: "Back to the emperor, Weichen heard that Lord Wu was assassinated, so he came to take a look, thinking if he could help a little." ”

"What? Are you still planning to meddle in the affairs of the Yifu Yamen? Do you think Liu Wei is not capable of doing things? Baili Xian spit out a sentence lightly, but Li Yinzhi's eyes widened suddenly.

Li Yinzhi hurriedly knelt down: "Emperor Mingjian, Weichen didn't mean that!" ”

Baili Xian didn't look up, said a faint "um", and said: "It's not your turn to take care of this matter, don't worry about your own errands, it's less than half a month before my birthday banquet, if you don't do it well, I will take off my head!" ”

"We're in command." Li Yinzhi was sincerely afraid.

"Lord Wu was assassinated, although the reason is unknown, but in order to ensure the safety of Lord Wu, I will temporarily let Ji Tunshan lead two teams of people to protect you until the assassin is caught." Baili Xian took a sip of the teacup, and continued to review the folds while saying, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is such a major event of assassinating the imperial court officials, can Lord Liu have a snack?" ”

Liu Wei also bowed over with a calm face: "Weichen will live up to the emperor's trust." ”

"The Emperor...... The emperor ......" Wu Mengquan stumbled and opened his mouth.

"Say."

"Isn't there a lot of people in the two teams, the minister thinks that the assassin's skills are not too good, otherwise, he will not let Weichen escape, Lord Ji has an important position, and he has to protect the emperor's safety, the minister ......"

Baili Xian stopped his pen, looked up and thought: "Ah, that's right, then a team of people." ”

Wu Mengquan wanted to cry without tears.

Nope!

He doesn't want two teams, and he doesn't want one.

He doesn't want anything!

Isn't this overt surveillance?!

Liu Wei stood next to him, looking at his nose and nose, anyway, it was not me who the emperor was spying on.

And Li Yinzhi was still kneeling on the ground, silently reciting in his heart that he couldn't see my law.

When he left the imperial study, Wu Mengquan felt that not only his ears hurt now, but also his whole body, and when he saw the team of guards holding him in front and back, his heart felt as if he had been hit by a hammer.

But fortunately, Ji Tunshan didn't follow him back to Wu Mansion seriously.

Baili Xian breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up and stretched, with his hands behind his back, standing outside the imperial study, and Ying Rong with a respectful face stood behind him.

"He's coming back, isn't he?"

There was no clear person in the words, but Ying Rong had been by Baili Xian's side for too long, and he really couldn't do it for so long without any eyesight, so he immediately replied: "It's already on the way, and I will definitely be able to rush back before the emperor's birthday banquet." ”

"Will he bring me a present?"

"Definitely."

Baili Xian lowered his eyes, in fact, he was really looking forward to it, this imperial uncle who loved him since he was a child, never missed his birthday, even after his ambition was exposed.

"What could it be?"

"It will definitely be liked by the emperor."

Baili Xian secretly clenched his fists: "I don't want those famous teachers' calligraphy and paintings, antique treasures, I ...... That's it. ”

Ying Rong wanted to say something, but saw that Baili Xian had already turned around and returned to the imperial study, and most of his body was buried by the folds that were stacked high.

Ying Rong sighed lightly, and as soon as he walked into the imperial study, he heard a slightly cold voice say to him: "Tell Ji Yinhe and ask him to send someone to Shuzhou to stare at the one named Qin Qi, but if he is a little disobedient, he will kill him immediately." ”

"Yes."

Ying Rong retreated, a few steps away, but sweat soaked his vest.

His little prince has grown up, and now when he talks about killing, his face has not changed.

That's a good thing, right?

But why do you feel a little uncomfortable?

The stream was clear, and Li Tong lifted the long skirt, tied it around his waist, and rolled the trouser legs to his knees, revealing his smooth and white calves.

She held a wooden stick with a sharpened head in her hand and stared intently at the fish swimming past her legs.

The scales glowed with silver, in the rippling stream, like the finest silver ornament, which was enviable, and at the same time, I wanted to roast it on the fire, sprinkle cumin, add some bay leaves, and smear it with pepper.

Comfortable!

"Ahh Li Tong's eyes lit up, and he shouted, and the wooden stick fell in response, straight in/in, and the water splashed.

Feather curtain stood by the river, staring nervously until Li Tong raised the stick, and the top/end of the stick stuck in the fish that was still trying to struggle with its tail flicking.

"Ahhhh Madame is amazing! Feather Curtain jumped and clapped and jumped around with the barrel in its hands.

When Bai Li Ye came over, she saw Li Tong staggering on those pebbles ashore, most of her clothes were wet, but the smile on her face was brighter than the sun, and the starlight hidden in her squinted eyes was more dazzling than ever, and Bai Li Ye was a little distracted for a while.

Seeing him coming, Li Tong threw the fish and the wooden stick into the wooden barrel held by the feather curtain, and asked proudly, "Am I amazing?" ”

Bai Li Ye looked down, hey, good guy, this moment's kung fu, there are six forks!

"Madame's skills are good, I admire my husband!" Bai Li Ye hugged his fists.

Li Tong shook his head: "That's not it, the old lady grew up in the small water......

Halfway through his words, he immediately stopped, Li Tong licked his lips, turned to look at Bai Li Ye who was following behind, and asked hesitantly, "What did you hear just now?" ”

Bai Li Ye blinked: "What should my husband hear?" ”

"Ahh Hahahaha......" Li Tong patted him on the shoulder and put away his smile: "You didn't hear anything." ”

Turn around and go.

Bai Li Ye smiled slightly, looked at the back of Li Tong who left as if he was fleeing, and said in a low voice: "When did Miss Li San grow up in the water?" ”
