Chapter 81: Black Carbon

Li Chengqian didn't think much about it after hearing the words that he was happy with, and his good impression of King Wu had long since disappeared from what King Wu had done in the past few years.

What is Wu Wangfu burning Li Chengqian didn't care, Cheng Chumo didn't dare to ask, Li Junxian didn't bother to care, but those people under King Wu had to ask and had to care.

After the group of people who assassinated Li Chengqian dispersed in Chang'an City in the morning, they squatted in Chang'an City for a long time to escape the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers.

Needless to say, the group of people who returned to Chenghe Restaurant knew that something was wrong when they saw the officers and soldiers near the restaurant and the seal on the restaurant, but these people were not stupid, after making sure that Li You was not there, they left an eyeliner and spread out in the crowd again, just waiting for the King of Chu to appear or send a signal again!

The people of the King of Chu were having a meeting outside the Chenghe Restaurant!

"Last night, King Wu's people suddenly called us to assassinate the crown prince, why was His Royal Highness the King of Chu arrested today, there will be no fraud in this!"

"It should be okay, after all, last night I repeatedly confirmed that it was a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and when I went to help King Wei's people steal the test questions, His Royal Highness the King of Chu also said that we should adapt to the situation and listen to King Wu!"

"But the king of Chu had never mentioned the assassination of the crown prince before, and although the people of the king of Wu said that they just wanted to force Li Chengqian back to the palace, let their own people from the Ministry of Rites preside over the ceremony of the beginning of the Spring Festival, and make the fact that the stolen test questions became exam questions! But we didn't think that if the assassination of the crown prince was confirmed, then once His Royal Highness the King of Chu was found and returned to Chang'an, then his suspicion could not be cleared! ”

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has long been ready to be discovered, why did he bring a concubine back in the first place, this is the best reason!"

"That's right, the princess's father has a big birthday these days, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu secretly came back with his favorite concubine to accompany his father for a big birthday, which should be fine in line with filial piety!"

"Let's hide ourselves, don't be caught by these stupid officers and soldiers, this is the greatest help for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, as for other things, we still have to wait until we see His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

The people of the king of Chu can be calm, but the people of the palace of Wu are not like this, no one answered how to knock on the front door and the back door and the side door, and there was billowing smoke in the courtyard, which made the subordinates of the king of Wu a little worried, and finally after repeated discussions, a group of people finally decided to enter the courtyard over the wall.

The leader was the leader who assassinated Li Chengqian, and several people found the back door of King Wu's mansion, and when they saw that there was no one around, they turned in.

When they entered King Wu's mansion, they felt even more wrong, King Wu's bedroom was on fire at this time, but the courtyard was quiet as if there was no one, and several people quickly dispersed and scattered to various rooms to investigate.

"Big brother, the people in the house have fainted, and they can't wake up no matter how they scream, as if they have been drugged!"

"yes, I've been to see several people, and they're all like that!"

The leader looked at the smoking room, showed an unbelievable look, and waited until everyone had arrived before he spoke: "Didn't you find His Royal Highness King Wu?" ”

Several people shook their heads, and they all turned their heads to look at the still burning room, and one of the younger brothers trembled his fingers, pointing to the room that showed the light of the fire and said, "His Royal Highness King Wu won't be inside, what is going on!" ”

The leader no longer hesitated, looked at a few junior brothers and said, "You two take water to wake up those subordinates, and a few of you rush in with me to see if His Royal Highness King Wu is still inside!" ”

The younger brothers were a little frightened, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, as if it was about to swallow people.

The person at the head also trembled a little when he looked at the fiery snake-like existence, but he didn't think much about how well His Royal Highness King Wu had treated him in the past, and took a few younger brothers to the side of the house, took two quilts, poured water on them, and rushed into the house.

The situation in the house is even more complicated, the timing device set up by Ashina before leaving has exploded at this time, and the house has also been coated with a lot of oil by Ashina before, and at this time, the grease and those solid wood furniture are burning to the fullest, and there is basically nothing complete in the house.

The leader was enduring the scorching flames, and the younger brother behind him was also pouring buckets of water into it, but fortunately, the flames only looked bigger, and the things that could be burned in the room were basically burned out, leaving only the last point still swaying his own heat.

King Wu's body had turned into charcoal, and no one could determine his identity, but this black charcoal was lying on King Wu's charred bed at this time, and the only bit of clothing left behind it looked the same as what King Wu was wearing before! He also has the wrench that King Wu brought before, although it has been burned black by the flames, but these things can still be confirmed!

The subordinates also gradually woke up, and looked at a few people with a look of amazement, King Wu's personal subordinates immediately leaned over and said: "Commander Wu, what is the situation, His Royal Highness King Wu is fine!" ”

Commander Wu looked at the subordinate kneeling at his feet, grabbed his shirt and grabbed it, and said, "You ask me?" I also want to ask you, why did I just follow the orders of King Wu and go out, and when I came back, it became like this! ”

The subordinate trembled and didn't know what was going on, and suddenly saw the black coke on the side as if he could see the human appearance, and pointed to the black charcoal and said, "This is His Royal Highness King Wu?" What the hell is going on! ”

Commander Wu put down his subordinates, who were already paralyzed, and pointed at the black charcoal and said, "I'm just not in the house for one night, you can tell me quickly, what happened last night!" Why are you all unconscious, how did His Royal Highness King Wu become like this, who came last night! ”

The subordinates didn't dare to be vague any longer, didn't dare to look at the black charcoal anymore, and carefully moved the direction of kneeling down before saying, "I heard His Royal Highness King Wu call me in the early hours of last night and went over, but I saw the Turks coming to the palace, and His Royal Highness King Wu called him Ashina, and I didn't know anything after I was knocked out by the Turks' men!" ”

Commander Wu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help muttering, "Ashina? Why did he harm His Royal Highness King Wu, we are allies! ”

Then he looked at the kneeling subordinate who was farther away: "Are you sure that the Turks are coming, and not someone else pretending to be Turkic?" ”

The subordinate was already panicked at this time, and said cautiously: "The villain doesn't know, it was His Royal Highness King Wu who called that person Ashina I thought that person was a Turkic, otherwise it was so dark that we didn't see the face, how do we know who he is!" ”

Commander Wu thought carefully, and finally clapped his hands and looked at the brothers on the side and said, "You guys will go to the vault and get some silver taels later, let's pack up and leave!" ”

A few little brothers didn't dare to ask more, and when they heard this, they immediately turned around and went to the vault, in the past, they only dared to take a round look, and at this time they could take it at will, so they would naturally not be polite!

The subordinates on the side were also a little scared, grabbed Commander Wu's trouser leg and said, "Commander Wu, what are you going to do, do you want to go back to your hometown with money!" ”

Commander Wu glanced at the subordinate who was paralyzed on the ground, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I can't report to you what I do!" ”

As soon as his eyes rolled, Commander Wu squatted down and looked at the eyes of this person and said: "I will report to the official when we leave you in a while, as for how much you can get, I won't care, but you have to remember that you must go to the official, and the news of King Wu's assassination can't be dispersed, as for our news, don't tell the officers and soldiers, just tell them what I just said to me, we don't want to split the money and run away, we want to avenge His Royal Highness King Wu, you don't want to be our enemy!" ”

When the subordinates heard this, they also understood Commander Wu's words, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Commander Wu, please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Wu treats me very well, I naturally will not betray you, I just hope that you can quickly avenge His Royal Highness King Wu, they are really hateful!" ”

Commander Wu stopped talking, seeing that the younger brothers didn't know where to take out a lot of gold and silver, as well as jade jewelry, Commander Wu didn't look at it and grabbed a few things and threw them to this person, before leaving, Commander Wu also finally advised: "Remember to go to the official, I will send someone to keep an eye on you!" ”
