"Since it is the dead soldiers they raised in Daxing City themselves, they should be familiar with all the things and people in Daxing City, but just now, they didn't know me." Wang Xiaolai said.

The empress raised her eyelids and said, "So, this is the basis for you to think that the gang of assassins and the old royal family are not all the way?" ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "At least, that's what I think." ”

The empress sighed.

Without waiting for the empress to speak, a voice attracted Wang Xiaolai's gaze: "Lord Shizhong's words are too decisive." ”

Wang Xiaolai turned his head to look, and it was Feng Qingyun who said this, and the latter hugged his fists at this time and said: "Lord Shizhong, please forgive me, I am just talking about things, and I don't mean to target you." ”

Obviously, the empress attached a little importance to Feng Qingyun's words at this time, so she said: "If Mr. Feng has anything to say, just say it." ”

Feng Qingyun thanked Tian'en with his hand, and then said: "Lord Shizhong concluded that they were not sent by the old royal family just because those assassins didn't know you, in case, that group of assassins just pretended not to know you, at the moment the old royal family is the most suspicious, whether it is them or not, Your Majesty, the grass people feel that they should also be arrested and tortured, even if they are wrong, let the world see what will happen if they offend Your Majesty Tianwei!" ”

Feng Qingyun's words spoke to the empress's heart.

But Wang Xiaolai and Liu Maolin were worried.

In fact, the two of them don't know whether it is the old royal family or not, but in terms of details, Wang Xiaolai is more inclined to his own judgment, while Liu Maolin hopes that Wang Xiaolai's judgment is right.

What are you doing? It's not that the two of them deliberately went against the empress, but that Sui Yang at this time, Daxing City at this time, especially Daxing City, which has not been two hours after Lu Gongyou set out on the expedition, can't cause any more turmoil.

Even if this group of assassins was sent by the old royal family, as a monarch, they couldn't poke this matter out.

After all, the empress had already killed a group of royal families who had committed rebellion a few years ago, and if at this time, because of this incident, the butcher knife was put on the head of the old royal family, it would inevitably cause a bloody storm.

If nothing else, what do the people think?

In just three months, how many officials and royals have been beheaded by the butcher's knife in a row? How do you look at it, how it looks like the madness before the destruction.

Therefore, Liu Maolin chose to support Wang Xiaolai's point of view.

And Wang Xiaolai, in his own judgment, also hopes that the old royal family is not making trouble, because it is impossible for the current Daxing City to have a turmoil, after all, the current situation is not the time for another big purge.

From the point of view, don't care if what Wang Xiao said is true or not, but the purpose is good, Liu Maolin hopes that the empress can listen to Wang Xiaolai's opinion, instead of listening to Feng Qingyun's words.

But how can things be as good as they should be?

After listening to Feng Qingyun's words, the empress really sneered: "What Mr. Feng said is reasonable, pass the order, let the Wangcheng Guards capture those assassins alive as much as possible, and I will take them to confront the old royal family face to face." ”

When Liu Maolin heard this, his heart was broken.

Look at Wang Xiaolai, the expression is the same.

The empress instructed Wang Xiaolai and said, "Little Laizi, go, tell the Wangcheng guards to go." ”

Wang Xiaolai didn't move, he stood in place and shook his head: "Don't mind, Your Majesty, you know, I'm cowardly, I finally ran out, how dare I go to death." ”

Feng Qingyun was courteous, and immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go." ”

As he spoke, he ran over with a smoke and went to announce the will of the empress.

Looking at the back of Feng Qingyun leaving, Liu Maolin and Wang Xiaolai glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts at the same time.

When Feng Qingyun ran in, under the attack of the Wangcheng Guards, although the group of assassins with strong combat strength but did not know how to cooperate at all had already retreated, and with the help of the secret guards, many assassins were killed on the spot.

Feng Qingyun was surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree to capture the leader of the assassins alive, and those who disobey the order will be killed!" ”

The officers of the Wangcheng Guards who led the team also knew Feng Qingyun, after all, they had also received a lot of funding from Feng Qingyun's royalists, and after listening to Feng Qingyun's words, they immediately ordered that they only need to be captured alive, not killed.

Such a consequence is naturally that more soldiers of the Wangcheng Guards will die.

After leaving behind the corpses, the exhausted Assassins were finally caught.

The four who led the team, like two gunmen and two swordsmen, were all kicked to the ground, and the horses were like hoofs upside down, and the bundles were sturdy.

Feng Qingyun stepped forward with a grin, and the officer of the Wangcheng Guards who led the team was polite at first, followed by a cruel smile, stepped forward, and ripped off the mask of the pair of gunmen, looking at the double gunman with gray hair and beard, he was stunned for a moment, and then spat on his face: "Old thing, you dare to assassinate Your Majesty." ”

The two-gunner, who was no more than a year old, scolded and scolded: "Little beast, let go of Lao Tzu if you have a kind, Lao Tzu will fight with you one-on-one!" ”

Feng Qingyun slapped it over: "You still have a reason to kill the assassin king, right, take it down." ”

The Twin Gunners were taken down in the midst of the curse, like the other Twin Knife Guys, Twin Hammer Guys, and Twin Hook Guys, all of whom were about the same age as the Twin Spearmen, which made the Wangcheng Guards officer couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Mr. Feng, how come these assassins are all some old guys?" ”

Feng Qingyun didn't speak, but looked at the corpses of the assassins on the ground, and ripped off the black cloth on his face in the past, not surprisingly, they were also crane-haired old men.

Even Feng Qingyun frowned, this group of assassins with extremely strong combat effectiveness and no small age, how did the old royal family win them over?

After thinking about it several times, Feng Qingyun was stunned and didn't understand, and in the end, he simply didn't think about it, so he waved his hand and said, "Take them all away, let Your Majesty interrogate them." ”

The officer clenched his fists, beckoned, and escorted out the more than a dozen elderly assassins who had been captured alive.

When the leader came to the empress, Feng Qingyun knelt down and said, "Your Majesty Hongfu, the seventeen assassins, including the thief head, please make a decision." ”

The empress snorted, looked at the secret guard who came out, and said, "Are you all right?" ”

The seriously injured guards looked at each other, and the leading one of the guards knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the secret guards suffered five casualties, failed to take down the thieves, protect Your Majesty's safety, and ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

The empress looked at the secret guard and sighed: "Qinglian, you get up, this group of assassins is not small, even the narcissus is in their way, I don't blame you, go down and take care of your health." ”

The secret guard named Qinglian nodded, and took the person with a face full of shame.

After they left, the empress was annoyed, glared at the double-gunman whose limbs were cut off and said angrily: "Old horseman, who instructed you to come and assassinate me, say it, I may give you a good time." ”

The double-gunned man also has a backbone: "Hmph, little girl, don't think that if you are the emperor Lao Tzu, you are afraid of you, isn't it just to kill the head, Lao Tzu has lived for decades, it is enough." ”

The empress sneered: "Don't think that if you don't say it, I won't know your identity, come here, take them all to me, hand them over to Tingwei, and behead them after review." ”

"Yes."

After the empress finished speaking, she stood up and went to the palace with Narcissus in her arms.

Feng Qingyun was very discerning and drove Long Yuan over, and the empress glanced at him, then looked back at Wang Xiaolai.

Wang Xiaolai stood in place and did not move, seeing this, the empress hesitated, then shook her head helplessly, and didn't care about Wang Xiaolai, she got on the dragon chariot by herself, and said to the wind: "Mr. Feng, you can drive." ”

Feng Qingyun nodded hurriedly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the gentleman has six arts, and the grass people know a little bit about it." ”

"Alright, drive with me." After the empress finished speaking, she went directly into the carriage.

Feng Qingyun didn't want to be happy, he hurriedly agreed, climbed into the wheel, waved the horsewhip, and drove with a long shout, and the carriage drove in the direction of the palace.

The civil and military officials also gradually dispersed, and the guards of the royal city also escorted the empress to the dragon.

There are only two left, Wang Xiaolai and Liu Maolin.

"This Daxing City has been peaceful for a few days, why, do you have to cause something to make trouble?" Wang Xiaolai was annoyed.

Liu Maolin sighed: "Regardless of whether this group of assassins is the old royal family behind them, but, obviously, Your Majesty wants them to be, and they must be." ”
