Chapter 381: Nanzhao Insect Gu
The second prince's eyes flickered, lowered his eyes, and shook his head: "The assassin was dressed in black, with a face towel covering his face, and he broke in unexpectedly, and he didn't see what he looked like, let alone what he came from. After wounding me, he saw that my guards had alarmed, and fled in a hurry. ”
"In which direction? This post station is heavily guarded and heavily defended, how did it escape? Master Shen continued to ask, raising the doubts in his heart.
The envoy Lord Li continued: "Regarding this, should Taishi Shen go and ask you about the soldiers of Chang'an?" Our second prince was seriously injured, is it possible to pay attention to this? A bunch of you soldiers are straw bale waste, allowing an assassin to come and go as he pleases. It can be seen that Chang'an is not a place of peace.
Although our prince is safe and sound, this matter is not over. Your country has to give us an explanation no matter what. ”
This matter is indeed Chang'an's fault, so Shen Taishi did not refute it for a while.
Leng Nanxian was on the side, cleared his throat, and pretended to be authentic: "Master Li, don't fall for someone else's divisive scheme." ”
"Discord meter? What do you mean? Can you participate in government politics as a wild man? Master Li unceremoniously retorted.
Leng Nanxian didn't care, and smiled slightly: "Leng naturally doesn't talk about the government in vain, he just wants to say what he knows." This poison in His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not ordinary, it is a worm Gu of Nanzhao Kingdom. ”
"Worm Gu?" Everyone spoke in unison.
The people in the house all understood that south of Chang'an, there is a country named Nanzhao, with many deep mountains and dense forests, and insects and ants everywhere. The Chinese people are good at using insects to cure diseases, and they are also good at poisoning with insects.
"Do you mean to say that it was the Nanzhao people who assassinated the second prince?" Master Li sneered.
Leng Nanxian smiled slightly: "It's okay." ”
"Are you so sure?"
"I saved people, so I can naturally tell if I am ugly, otherwise, what kind of poison does Lord Li think is among the two princes?"
Master Li coughed lightly: "At the beginning, you didn't say that. ”
Shen Taishi snorted coldly: "Nanzhao is poor in mountains and bad waters, and has always been a wolf with ambition, coveting the richness of my Chang'an, and eyeing Xiliang and Chang'an. Today, I heard that the envoys of Xiliang sent an envoy to our Chang'an, and they must have been afraid that our two countries would form a peaceful alliance, so they sent assassins to assassinate them. If the two countries really fight each other for this, then they will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and their intentions are simply sinister. ”
The emperor said: "Thanks to Nanxian being here today, I have seen through their worm Gu, otherwise Lord Li and the second prince are afraid that they will really misunderstand me Chang'an." However, we must investigate this matter to the end, and we must not tolerate the Nanzhao people who are doing evil in my Xiliang. ”
Master Li snorted coldly: "Just by virtue of his words, he was convicted, is it a little too arbitrary, right?" ”
Leng Nanxian also snorted softly: "An envoy is an envoy, in front of my Emperor Chang'an, you are a courtier, and in front of the second prince of Xiliang, Lord Li is also a courtier." How does this matter come to an end, should Lord Li also listen to the opinions of the second prince of your country? ”
Master Li has always been very arrogant and rude, especially when facing Taishi Shen.
Fighting tiger brothers, going into battle as father and son soldiers, how could Leng Nanxian sit idly by?
"The second prince has not healed from his heavy injuries, so I will naturally have something to say."
"Okay, Lord Li, the emperor has already said that he will investigate deeply, catch the murderer, and give us an explanation. So if we continue to be aggressive, won't it seem that we Xiliang people don't have a little tolerance? The emperor has all the opportunities every day, and the state affairs are busy, so he will stop it today for the time being, and discuss it another day. ”
Lord Li was obviously unwilling, but his own prince couldn't help but speak, and he snorted lightly and stepped aside.
The second prince said to Leng Nanxian and An Sheng sincerely: "Thank you for the help of the two divine doctors today, this prince is grateful." When I recover, I will definitely hold a feast. ”
The second prince spoke politely, and Leng Nanxian and An Sheng hurriedly gave in.
The emperor saw that he was already unharmed and would not stay for a long time, so he drove back to the palace and summoned the marquis of Dingguo, Leng Nanxian and Yu Jingyun and others entered the palace together.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and first reprimanded Yu Jingyun with his head and face: "I left such an urgent matter to you, but look at yourself, you actually left your post without permission and went to make trouble with the brocade guard."
Now it's good, give people a handle. Yu Jingyun, Yu Jingyun, I really look down on you, last time you disobeyed my will, I shouldn't have indulged you, there was no severe punishment. That's why you're less and less interested in me right now. If something does happen this time, you won't have enough to cut off ten heads! ”
Yu Jingyun knelt on the ground straight, without saying a word.
After the emperor finished his anger, Fang Zi reluctantly held back, and asked angrily: "Tell me first, what is the omission of today's affairs?" I've told you again and again to be cautious, not to miss a minute, how can you even give the Assassin a chance? ”
Yu Jingyun was like a defeated rooster, hanging his head, no longer in the past high-spirited, arrogant and arrogant.
Shicai Weichen knelt on the ground, thinking for a long time, but he couldn't think of any loopholes in this defense. Although Weichen did not practice it personally, he personally protected the Xiliang envoys, and he was impulsive and reckless today and left the post station, but the guards and secret guards sent were all first-class masters. If an Assassin had infiltrated the station, how could he have gone unnoticed? ”
"No, no! But it's happened! And the Assassin was on the run! Use all your guards as decorations! You have to give me an explanation. Otherwise, if you are lucky today, the second prince will save a life, and there will be assassins tomorrow? ”
Yu Jingyun was speechless.
"I was too arrogant to you in the past! So now you have no one in your sights, and you don't know how much you've grown! The emperor said angrily: "The matter has happened, and I have not yet reviewed my responsibilities and shortcomings. It's not too late to make amends, but are you still so arrogant that you think your defense is seamless? ”
"The minister is not arrogant, but the minister really can't figure it out." Yu Jingyun was ashamed.
The Marquis of Dingguo also said cautiously: "The talented old minister has already seen the post station defense map, and he can't guess where there is any omission. It's terrifying to think that the assassin is so elusive. ”
"Sophistry!" The Emperor was furious: "If the assassin's skills are really as good as you say, why can't he take the life of the second prince with a sword, but is forced to retreat by a guard, and he has to go to such great lengths to poison him?" ”
Leng Nanxian and An Sheng stood aside, originally looking at their nose and nose, and without saying a word. Seeing that the emperor was furious, he took a step forward, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down in the dust.
"Your Majesty, Nanxian has something to say."
