"Where's my aunt?" Xiao Yan first cares about his mother.

She asked, raised her hand and took Li Yuzhen's hand off her forehead, and then the corners of her mouth twitched, realizing that her whole body was wrapped like a zongzi, this hand was not injured, why was it wrapped like a bear's paw? There's a bow on the back of your hand! Xiao Yan was speechless for a while, but he was also relieved: except for his own mother, probably no one has such an interest - and has the heart to tease his daughter, it must be safe and sound.

Li Yuzhen smiled back at her and said, "My aunt is talking to Princess Dongyang in the study - well, it is the benefactor who saved you from becoming a meat residue." He laughed again.

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched again, and he silently wrote down the "Princess Dongyang", and first confirmed, "My aunt is not injured, right?" ”

Li Yuzhen raised his eyebrows, "If these assassins hurt my aunt, the Crane Mansion should be punished." ”

The Crane Mansion is the Emperor's Internal Guard Division, with many masters, Xiao Yan had heard her mother say earlier, when she went to Tubo, the sage allocated a part of the Crane Guards to her, to protect her safety in Tubo, after returning from Tubo, the sage did not transfer this part of the Crane Guards back, but removed them from the Crane Control Book, and became her mother's personal guard, and Grandmaster Chi Hong was their leader; After the Lantern Festival, the guards in the palace added new faces - all of them were temporarily transferred from the Crane Mansion, including the "half-step innate" hidden in the dark.

Xiao Yan expressed satisfaction with his mother's protective strength, and his eyebrows were relaxed, and then Guan asked, "Are all those assassins dead?" Is there a live mouth? Who is it? - The four people who chased me should be Tibetans, using the Tibetan Tantric mantra; But the four black-clad masked men who ambushed me at the rocky pile didn't look much like the Tibetans. ”

She sat up as she spoke, lying down like this and talking to Li Yuzhen, she was a little unaccustomed to it.

Li Yuzhen stretched out her hand to help her, leaned over and was very close to her, wearing a thin silk shirt, which should have been changed after entering the village, the fragrance of the clear bones was revealed from the thin clothes, and the plain gave birth to a little charming, Xiao Yan leaned back slightly, Li Yuzhen only supported her waist with both hands, but did not make a more intimate move, her right hand took a hidden sac from the couch and stuffed her back, and got up, Xiao Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She brought a glass of water from the couch table, and the green glass cup contained honey longan water, and Xiao Yan smelled the smell.

"Moisten your throat before you speak." Li Yuzhen sat back beside her, her white and bony hand holding the lotus petal ear, and handed the cup to her lips.

Xiao Yan hurriedly raised his hand, "I'll ...... it myself" As soon as his hand was raised, he was silent.

Li Yuzhen looked at her "bear paw" teasingly, and laughed softly, "Are you sure?" ”

“…… Well. Xiao Yan decisively raised the other "bear paw", held the glass cup in his two thick palms, drank the cup of water in a few sips, handed the cup back to Li Yuzhen and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Yuzhen pinched her cheek with his other hand, and said lightly: "Be polite to me?" ”

Xiao Yan said in his heart: If I don't be polite to you, you will be even hotter. While silently exercising her internal strength, she felt that there was no pain in her viscera, only a slight itching pain in the blood holes on her body and the healing of bones, which showed that her wounds were healing rapidly, faster than she expected, just like the feeling of grass growing vigorously after the spring rain. She couldn't help but "pout", and said to Li Yuzhen's figure who got up and put the cup: "Princess Dongyang has healed me?" Is she a Grandmaster of the Inner Guard, or? ”

Xiao Yan was worried, I don't know if it was the imperial family internal guard of the Crane Mansion, or the imperial family master of Tiance Academy? Although the Crane Mansion is mostly a palace guard trained since childhood, there are also royal masters, Gaozong's Crane Mansion Decree is Renzong's eldest daughter, Gaozong's imperial sister Chu eldest princess Li Jiansu, today's saint has a royal master as an internal guard.

Li Yuzhen had already sat down beside her and replied: "Princess Dongyang is the master of Tiance Academy, and the fourth son of Jian Zong, King Xu, is of the same generation as Ah Gong. ”

This blood relationship is a little far away, Jianzong is followed by Zhaozong, Zhangzong, Jingzong, Jingzong is the first emperor, Princess Dongyang is a descendant of the prince of Jianzong, and the blood relationship with the saint is far away, it is to Li Yuzhen did not argue with Xiao Yan about the title of Princess Dongyang. He smiled and said: "In February, you entered Tiance Academy, and there are many generations in it, all of them are called masters, not according to generations." Otherwise, when you see one, you have to call it 'cousin', 'cousin', and 'cousin'. ”

Xiao Yan burst out laughing and said, "That's good." "Like Xiao's martial arts hall, there are too many grandparents and great-grandparents, and I can't really call it in terms of generation.

Li Yuzhen didn't hesitate to talk about the assassins: "Except for the half-step congenital who was the leader and the two cave true realms who were injured and escaped, the other assassins all died, and the injured ones all blew themselves up, leaving not a single one alive." ”

The pupils of Xiao Yan's eyes shrank slightly, "Is it a Tubo person, or a dead man?" Then he frowned, "How can they have a crossbow?" Or thirteen arrows? I remember that the highest configuration of the Ordnance Supervisor was Eleven Box Arrows. ”

The crossbow is a military weapon of the Tang Dynasty, and it is forbidden to possess it by the people, and the Lianzhu crossbow held by those assassins is a short-range repeating crossbow, which can continuously pierce the iron armor within fifty steps, and it is a melee combat in the army and the official capture division, where did these assassins come from? And it's a more advanced thirteen-box beaded crossbow! - Is it the latest new product developed by the Ordnance Superintendent? Then the identities of these assassins are even more intriguing.

Xiao Yan's eyebrows showed a contemplative look.

"Huh!" Li Yuzhen sneered and said, "This is a new product of the Ordnance Supervisor, which was finally calibrated and finalized in December of the previous year, and has not yet been officially distributed - but it has already flowed out." She raised an eyebrow, "There are quite a few rats in the armory prison. ”

Xiao Yan's expression was stern, "Weapons supervisor,...... A few years ago, it seems that it was assigned to you to rule? ”

The position of the Armament Superintendent is very important, too. The ancestors were placed in the military department, and later Gaozong paid more attention to the armament, and made it independent, and the nine temples and four prisons were placed side by side, and it was called "nine temples and five prisons". Since Gaozong, the ordnance supervisor is directly under the emperor, but the exception of the Jianzong Dynasty, after Jianzong's daughter Zhaozong became the princess of Qin, she threw all the provincial temple supervisors to Zhaozong except for the prison. Following the example of the simple sect, the sage named Li Yuzhen as the princess of Qin and the right servant of the Shangshu, and assigned the military supervision and military department to Li Yuzhen under the direct jurisdiction, showing his determination to gradually pay the state affairs to the "imperial grandson". But before the weapons supervisor was handed over to Li Yuzhen, he leaked the latest military crossbow, which is really a smear - making people question Li Yuzhen's ability to control. Xiao Yan had to suspect that this assassination was aimed at Li Yuzhen.

Li Yuzhen saw that her eyebrows were worried, and she was in a good mood, her eyes looked at her like a puddle of water, bright and bright, and said softly: "Are you worried about me?" ”

Xiao Yan gave her a "nonsense" look, and when she saw that her eyes were murmuring, she immediately emphasized, "This is a friend's concern." ”

Li Yuzhen smiled widely, "I know, you have affection for me." As he spoke, without waiting for Xiao Yan to deny it, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, and when Xiao Yan was angry, he had already raised his lips and said business without blinking his eyes, "This assassination is killing three birds with one stone." For me, for my aunt, and for Xiao. ”

Xiao Yan was about to shoot the "bear paw", but when she heard her words, she was startled, and straightened her eyes and said, "For the Xiao family?" "What does this have to do with Shaw?

Li Yuzhen's voice was cold, "The four people who chased and killed you are the Bowl Sect, and their goal is to kill you. Some people deliberately leaked the news to let the Tibetan people know that their aunt had cheated her death, so they attributed the demise of Tubo to her aunt, believing that her aunt's marriage with Chide Songtsen was to subvert Tibet. Because I led the army to destroy Tibet, they wanted to kill me first, but it was too difficult to kill me; Second, he wants to kill his aunt, but with Chi Hong, the former control guards, it is difficult for the Tubo people to succeed. So someone approached them and cooperated in planning the attack, and the Tibetans only had to kill you: if you died, the Tibetans would have taken revenge on their aunt - the most painful thing for a woman was not to kill herself, but to kill her children. But the mastermind behind the scenes is to plot your death at the hands of Murong Jue, so he forces you all the way to Zhongnan Mountain. The mastermind also calculated that you would go to Zhongnan Mountain. ”

Xiao Yan nodded with a calm face, "There are Guyue Temple and Yunqi Temple at the southern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and I won't go in the direction of the Taoist Temple." So where she went, the mastermind was also determined. This feeling of being calculated is really unpleasant. "So those four black-clothed people appeared to stop me on the Qianzhang Cliff and wait for Murong Jue to make a move? She is the daughter of the Murong clan? Retreating at the bottom of a cliff? ”

"She is the eldest sister of your second sister-in-law, the second generation of the family, the most talented martial arts disciple of the Murong clan, and she was cultivated as the great elder of the Protector Clan."

Every family surnamed A is the head of the Wen family and the elder of the Wu You Hu clan, and the head of the family must be the head of the clan, but the elder of the Hu clan only talks about martial arts regardless of his background, and Murong Jue, as the head of the elder of the Hu clan, is second only to the Murong Shizi in his position among the younger generation of the Murong clan. If she was killed by Murong Jue, it is conceivable that the Murong clan would never be willing to hand over Murong Jue, would the emperor favor the Murong clan or uphold justice for the Xiao clan? If the emperor gives up Murong Jue, he will definitely make the Murong family, who has always been loyal to the royal family, feel cold, and have a gap with the royal family; But the emperor protects the Murong family, and the Xiao family can't stop there, otherwise the prestige of the first family under the imperial family will inevitably be hit - even the killing of a talented child can't get justice, what will the family think of the Xiao family? What will the children of the clan think? The Xiao family must show a strong side, and perhaps the conflict with the royal family will intensify and explode...... Xiao Yan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this, gritted his teeth and said, "This plan is really vicious!" "The messenger of the Lord deserves to die! The words swirled in her throat and she swallowed.

She was already suspicious of King Qi in her heart, lowered her eyelids and asked, "Wouldn't those assassins who died by the river be all Bo Sect believers?" But they did not believe in their hearts.

Li Yuzhen sneered lightly and said: "It looks like it is - they are all masters of the inner family, the blush on the face will not be obvious, but there are tattoos of Dapeng Bird and Bojiao Buddha on the back." It's just a superficial effort to fool people. In the first battle, the remnants of the Bowl Sect absconded from the tunnel, and fled westward to Xiangxiong, where did so many masters sneak into the Tang Dynasty? One half-step congenital, two cave true realms, and fifteen late stages of the Ascending Extreme Realm, huh, such a strong lineup, the bowl sect is not used to hide and recuperate, Xu Tu has made a comeback, and he is willing to be sent to Datang to do assassinations that do not have much return and benefit? Unless the head is kicked by a donkey from top to bottom. Although the monks of the Bowl Sect are paranoid, they should not be so stupid as to do so—the Dharma King of the Bowl Sect will not fail to give instructions for the future.

"Only the four people who assassinated you were the Dharma Missionaries, who specialized in teaching the children of the Tibetan nobles, who were responsible for teaching the Dharma and protecting the personal safety of the nobles, lived in the homes of the nobles, and were captured with the Tibetan nobles, and then sent to Chang'an, which is also in line with their intention to lurk in the Tang Dynasty. This time he conspired with others to assassinate him, in order to provoke infighting in the Tang Dynasty. ”

She looked at Xiao Yan, shook her head and said, "The mastermind behind the scenes is not King Qi. ”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

She thought that Li Yuzhen would also suspect King Qi, but she didn't expect her to deny it.

If it's not King Qi, who will it be?
