Chapter 252: Overt pressure and covert persecution, framing and framing
Above the dark sky, the moon hung high, and a few stars were scattered and dotted over the night.
On a certain peak on the southwest side of the West Lake, a burly man in a black night coat stood on the boulder at the top of the peak, staring at the surface of the West Lake in the distance with blazing eyes, his eyes full of cunning and calculation.
On the edge of the West Lake, a delicate figure jumped up from the water like a swimming fish, and then lay on the shore close to the ground.
Before anyone could see her clearly, the man had already jumped up from the ground with great speed, possessed a low form, and headed towards the southwest with great speed.
Seeing this scene, the face of the figure on the peak couldn't help but change, and he immediately turned his head to look at the surface of the West Lake on the other side.
At this moment, a figure in a dark blue brocade robe jumped up from the water and stood directly on the clippers that came to the rescue around him.
The figure seemed to sense that someone was watching, and subconsciously turned around and looked towards the top of the peak.
His face is clearly visible, and he is the target of their assassination this time, Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County.
However, it seemed that there was a difference in light and shadow, Li Xuan did not see the figure on the boulder on the mountain peak, and quickly turned around and went back, talking to Kui Gong who rushed over with an anxious face. Chinese Net
The figure on the mountain peak just breathed a sigh of relief, and then gritted his teeth and whispered, "Damn, it actually failed, and it also folded Xin Jian here, what happened. What the hell is going on with the intelligence of the Luoyang and Yangzhou rudders, damn it, they have collected a huge deviation from the intelligence of the king of Nanchang."
The voice was very familiar, and it was none other than Wang Chao, the deputy pavilion master of the Vientiane Pavilion who had passed the assassination figure to Zong Ling and Xin Jian before.
He did not participate in this assassination, but watched everything from the high mountains.
Wang Chao's face quickly became extremely solemn, the assassination failure was not the most important, anyway, it was just two stunned young people who were used, and the real trouble was the accuracy of Vientiane Pavilion's intelligence collection of Li Xuan.
Once this aspect is questioned, their status in the Holy Religion will be rapidly reduced.
"It seems that it's time to find an opportunity to strengthen the intelligence infiltration around King Nanchang." Wang Chao groaned, and his gaze subconsciously turned to the position of Zong Ling.
However, it didn't matter if he looked at it, Wang Chao was almost frightened to the point that his heart stopped.
Because at this moment, on the avenue in the distance, two middle-aged people wearing fast hunting clothes were quickly chasing and killing Zong Ling.
One of them also had a longbow in his hand, and shot arrows at the location of the sect spirit from time to time.
Every arrow was extremely dangerous, and time and time again, Zong Ling did his best to avoid the shot of the bow and arrow.
Then she ran as fast as she could to the southwest, but her speed slowed down visibly.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chao's face on the peak had become extremely embarrassed.
"Damn, why did the people from the Hangzhou Prefecture come so quickly." Wang Chao quickly turned around and ran down the mountain.
He couldn't ignore the spirit.
At the very least, when Zong Ling brought the pursuers to their hiding base, he had to kill Zong Ling first to avoid the leakage of more secret letters.
Chasing, shitting, this is obviously a long line to catch a big fish.
That is, Zong Ling couldn't see clearly in the game, so he had to flee towards the hiding base under the shadow of death hanging overhead.
Wang Chao absolutely could not let Zong Ling lead this group of people to their hiding base.
Although that place has little to do with their Demon Sect, the owner of that place is related to a key figure in the Tianyin Sect's incident this time.
Once the connection between them is broken and the identity of the key person is exposed, their plot in Hangzhou this time will be immediately broken, and it will even indirectly affect the overall situation.
Wang Chao rushed down the rapid mountain peak, and he was in a hurry to run, but he didn't see Li Xuan on the lake once again focus on the position he was standing on, until he completely disappeared, Li Xuan withdrew his gaze.
The moon and stars are scarce, and Li Xuan's gaze falls from the West Lake
The sky curtain of Ying was retracted, and then he looked at Kui Gong, Kui Heng, who had a solemn face on the side, and Su Yu, who joined the army in Hangzhou.
As a judicial official of Hangzhou Prefecture, Li Xuan, the king of the county, was assassinated under his nose in Wuzhou, no matter what contradictions there were before, Su Yu must rush to investigate as soon as possible.
Standing on the deck, Li Xuan took the towel handed over by Qiu Zhenmu, wiped it, and said, "Of the two assassins assassinated this time, one has died in the lake, you can send someone down to salvage the body, maybe you can find something, and the other one has just escaped, but Xu Zhutou of the Assassin's Mansion has already led people to chase down."
"The prince already knew that someone would come to assassinate him tonight?" Su Yu keenly heard the most important words in Li Xuan's words for the first time.
Xu Zhutou, Xu Zhutou of Hangzhou Thorn Mansion.
The head catcher of the Hangzhou Assassin Mansion, which was nominally under Su Yu's command, had already arrived here in advance, but Su Yu didn't know anything about it, and the hidden meaning behind this made him shudder.
"This nature." Li Xuan seemed to be smiling, and said with a teasing gaze: "When this king was in Yangzhou, he dealt a heavy blow to the Tianyin Sect more than once, and now that he is in Hangzhou, he naturally has to always be on guard against the assassination of the Tianyin Sect at any time. You see, isn't this coming?"
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said meaningfully: "Kui Weng, although it is a well-known thing that this king accepted your banquet to come to this West Lake today, but this time this king was assassinated, and the Kui family had to give some explanation."
"This is natural, fortunately, the prince is not in an accident, otherwise, the old man really doesn't know how to explain to Lord Thorn Shi, how to explain to the imperial court." Kui Gong looked guilty, then turned to look at his son Kui Heng and said, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you send the prince ashore quickly......
"There's no hurry." Li Xuan's fluttering voice came, he looked back at Qiu Zhenmu and Su Baotong and said, "Brother Qiu, Brother Su, you go to the boat now to check if someone has reported the news, and when this king will be on the boat, not everyone can see it at any time."
As soon as Li Xuan's words fell, Kui Gong's face immediately turned white.
However, Li Xuan immediately said: "I forgot to introduce to you, this is Brother Qiu Zhenmu Qiu, the grandson of the late prince of Yicheng County, this is Su Bao and Brother Su, Brother Su's ancestral home is Wuyi, Jizhou, and he is the grandson of the late Xing Guogong, Su joined the army from Youzhou, not far from Jizhou, I think there should be a bit of same-clan affection."
"I've seen my uncle!" Su Baotong took the lead in giving gifts, whether it was the Youzhou Su clan or the Jizhou Su clan, the ancestors were all the grandsons of the Yellow Emperor. The son of the sixth grandson of the Gaoyang clan, Fan Kunwubo, was sealed in Su, and the family surnamed Su in history began with this.
Youzhou Su and Jizhou Su are closer, and their ancestors are both Su Qing, the former Yan Nagong, who was still a family more than 100 years ago.
"I've seen my nephew." Su Yu returned the salute seriously, as a fellow clan, Su Yu naturally knew how Xing Guogong Su Dingfang inherited.
Li Xuan revealed Su Baotong's identity this time, and Su Yu couldn't ignore a few points.
Kui Gong is an old fox, of course he knows the meaning of Li Xuan's words.
He could only arch his hand helplessly and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know how to deal with this matter?"
"How to deal with it?" Li Xuan looked at Kui Gong with a smile and said softly: "Naturally, everything is handled according to the law, today there is a Su Senjun here, and the command of Hangzhou Fa Cao will definitely arrive soon, so it will be handed over to the Su Senjun to deal with."
Kui Gong subconsciously looked at Su Yu, Su Yu shook his head slightly with a solemn face, and then raised his eyes and looked at the pier on the east bank of the West Lake in the distance.
Kui Gong followed Su Yu's gaze, and there was nothing there.
Kui Gong was slightly stunned, but then, as if he had figured out something, his face couldn't help but change.
At this time, Li Xuan's cold voice came: "Tonight, hunting the rebels of the Tianyin Sect, all roads are concurrent, I think I should be able to gain something, as for who will be implicated in the end, I don't know."
"Old decay understands." Kui Gong bowed heavily and said, "At today's banquet, Qi Gongzi Qi Ming had a quarrel with the prince, and then it caused the Tianyin Sect to assassinate the prince, the lower officials, and the officials and students on the boat can all prove it."
"Kui Weng, this is what you said, and this king has not carried out any persecution." Li Xuan looked at him with a smile.
Kui Gong immediately nodded and said very firmly, "Naturally, it's just, Lord Wang, how do you explain to Yuan Tingshi."
"You wouldn't really because of such a big action tonight, this king didn't inform Yuan Tingshi."
