Chapter 22: Disputes
Don't kill him, but don't let him go this way.
The reason why he was not allowed to take this path was to prevent him from going to report to Guan Zhi.
If you don't kill him, you want him to go and report to others.
Where is this to give him a way out, this is clearly to force him to make a choice, let him take the bait!
If he doesn't go to someone else to report the news, he can only sit and watch the master behind this person's back, and if he goes...... I'm afraid it's hard to turn the situation around.
Rong Zhi gritted his teeth, he drew his sword, and entangled with the person in front of him. But Wu Yang boasted that he was the number one master in the internal guard, except for Chixiao, and the last thing he was afraid of was to use force.
The two of them made a hundred moves, and Rong Zhi soon fell behind, and he looked at the person in front of Hengjian, his face was not good.
He couldn't beat this man.
In fact, when he first met, he understood this.
This man was not the Assassin he had fought the previous two times. Although the two are dressed the same and have similar figures. But their eyes were different, and the people in front of them were arrogant and indifferent.
In fact, he could feel that the person in front of him wanted to kill him, but he was forced to kill him for some reason. But the first two Assassins were much more free to do as they pleased.
That's why he chose to fight with him, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't beat this person.
Rong Zhi glared, put away the scabbard, and left angrily.
Wu Yang just wanted to catch up, but his shoulder was held down, he turned around, and saw a plain-clothed woman standing on the side.
Wu Yang's face showed disgust, and he slapped Li Shengxi's hand away, "Ning Rushuang? What do you do with your hands and feet? ”
Li Shengxi: "......"
"You don't have to catch up." Li Shengxun didn't seem to have happened just now.
"Although I am not a lieutenant now, I am subordinate to the Left Division, do I still have to listen to the orders of you as a lieutenant of the Right Division?" Wu Yang said contemptuously, but he also knew the measure, since Ning Rushuang could come to spread this word, eighty percent was Chixiao's order, so although he was unforgiving, he didn't chase it out in the end.
"Your task is to guard the Honglu Inn, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, but you have to do it, Wu Lang." Li Shengxi chuckled, and also played the identity of Ning Rushuang, the word "Wu Lang" in her mouth was not only satirizing Wu Yang who was no longer a lieutenant now, but also beating Wu Yang, who could understand his task.
Wu Yang's face changed, and his gaze at Li Shengxian became more and more unkind, "I naturally know, I don't need you to remind me." You'd better do your own thing, lest you lose your position as a lieutenant. ”
Li Shengxi was noncommittal, turned around and left, as soon as she separated from Wu Yang, she went to find Yingxiao.
"Lieutenant, Rongzhi went to the palace." Ying Xiao closed the door and rested today.
Li Shengxi raised his eyelids, "Are you going to find Chen Run?" ”
"Possibly."
"What about Rayson and Nianxi?"
"All the best." Ying Xiao nodded.
Under the peaceful and prosperous era of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was a dark tide surging. The country is restless, bandits are rampant, and there are many horse bandits robbing on the small road dozens of miles away from the Beijing suburb courtyard of Guan Zhi.
Today's Gu Nianxi of the Silk Embroidery Workshop went to other places to buy silk and returned, and naturally he would be "targeted" by horse bandits.
Gu Nianxi led the horse bandits to the Fengshan Courtyard of Guan Zhi and then got out in time, "who knows" King Kang was near the Fengshan Courtyard, and was accidentally robbed by the horse bandits.
Qin Qinghong traveled with King Kang, and when he saw that King Kang had not returned for a long time, he was uneasy in his heart, so he went to report the case. The prince disappeared and Oiran reported the case, which was enough to make the matter known to everyone.
And "just right", Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang and the Criminal Department Shangshu happened to be near the Fengshan Courtyard, and Qin Qinghong naturally had to find these two people to report the case.
It's true that the Fengshan Courtyard can't be forced to break in, but this matter involves the royal relatives who are serious.
Ying Xiao smiled lightly, "Such good news, it is reasonable to inform Princess Kang." ”
Li Shengxian shook his head, "No, I can't inform Princess Kang." Princess Kang had already fallen into a party dispute some time ago. If she is allowed to enter the game again this time, she is afraid that she will be much more wary. Just go with the flow, no need to be reminded. ”
Ying Xiao nodded, thinking of something, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "We have few ears and eyes in the palace, if we really let Rong Zhi find a rescuer in the palace, wouldn't it be a failure?" ”
Li Shengxun shook his head, "Before letting Rong Zhi go, I passed the news to the Zhou family as quickly as possible, and then watched them pass the news into the inner palace. The queen mother has a lot of henchmen in her internal strength, and even Guan Zhi is a little inferior. As long as Wu Yang trapped the Honglu Inn, Rong Zhi entered the palace, and he couldn't move the eunuch's rescuers. Unless...... He still has his own power in the palace. But now this situation is unsolvable, if I were them, this would no longer choose to die, but how to remedy it afterwards. ”
Ying Xiao nodded, and glanced at Li Shengxing again, "The people from Liangzhou are back, and the lieutenant wants to see him." ”
Li Shengxian thought for a while and shook his head, "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, wait until this matter is resolved, and then you will bring people to Qingquan Villa." ”
Ying smiled and nodded.
When Zhou Shutao received Qin Qinghong's report, after discussing with Zhou Shuzhan, he went to ask for an order to surround the Fengshan Courtyard and the surrounding area.
The disappearance of the prince is not a trivial matter at any time, especially since King Kang is a prince with real power, not an idle king.
The vicinity of the villa was quickly searched, and only the last place remained, the Maple Mountain Annex.
The courtyard was surrounded by guards by the Shence Army, and Zhou Shutao carried the token and looked at the guards of the courtyard.
"I don't know when the Shence Army became someone else's private army, and they came to guard the courtyard for Lieutenant Guan." Zhou Shutao's expression was slightly cold.
"In the other courtyard, the first emperor of the tribute, the lieutenant Guan is to prevent the night from being small, so he called the last general and others to guard, this is the heart of the lieutenant Guan for the country's fist and fist, I don't know why the lieutenant will put his beak? Isn't it disrespectful to the first emperor? "The people who can be selected by Guan Zhi to guard the other courtyard are naturally not ordinary people.
"Don't talk about it. King Kang disappeared near the Fengshan Courtyard, King Kang is the arm of the first emperor, the humerus in the middle of the court, you don't let the general search, is there a ghost in your heart? Zhou Shutao didn't let go.
The soldier raised his chin, "Dare to ask General Zhonglang, but I saw His Royal Highness King Kang enter the Fengshan Courtyard with my own eyes." ”
"Since it is missing, how can Ben see it, in fact, can you find it out at a check, if it is really frank, why hide it?"
The soldier scoffed, "In that case, you don't see it." Zhonglang General, here is the lieutenant annex, and there is a handwritten letter from the Son of Heaven in the courtyard. If you dare to search without evidence, isn't it disrespectful to the Son of Heaven? ”
Before Zhou Shutao could reply, the soldier continued: "I have heard that the Zhou family is domineering, and now I see that it is really worthy of its name, when the original Zhonglang will dare to close the door of the workshop without evidence, and even block the princess's car, now that there is no evidence, he dares to be disrespectful to the emperor......"
"Presumptuous......" Before the soldier finished speaking, he was interrupted by one person.
Zhou Shutao hurriedly turned around and looked at the visitor respectfully.
