The night was dark, Di Renjie rode a horse a little tiredly, and slowly returned to Yankangfang's residence.

Wang Yu, who followed him on one side, followed silently.

At this time, it was six o'clock and the curfew had been there for a long time.

Only Di Renjie and other imperial histories can smoothly open the door and return home.

Deep in the neighborhood, in the alley.

Di Renjie had just ridden in, and suddenly, two black figures appeared on the rooftops on both sides silently, holding crossbows in their hands, aiming at Di Renjie, and coldly pulling the trigger.

"Whoosh" twice, two crossbow arrows like a torrential rain, suddenly shot from mid-air, fiercely shot at Di Renjie,

In an instant, the sharp blade slashed like lightning, and the two crossbow arrows that happened to shoot above Di Renjie's head had already been cut away.

"Ding" sounded twice, and the two crossbow arrows had already fallen to the ground.

At the same time, Di Renjie, who reacted, pulled out the long knife on the side of the horse in an instant.

He shrank flexibly, slid directly under the horse's belly, and completely disappeared from sight.

Wang Dice jumped up violently, and stood alone on two horses, the long knife in his hand obliquely in front of him.

Raising his head and looking at the two assassins above him, Wang Yu's eyes were full of disdain.

The faces of the two assassins on the roof were already extremely heavy.

Wang Yu stood on the horse, Di Renjie had completely disappeared under his shadow, with him, they couldn't kill Di Renjie at all.

The crossbow was raised again, and it was aimed at Wang Dice unceremoniously again......

"Bang!"

The roof at the feet of the two assassins suddenly exploded, and the next moment, two sharp blades had already stabbed upwards fiercely.

The situation changed abruptly, and the grass flew sideways.

I couldn't see the situation clearly for a while,

In the panic, the two assassins had already fallen directly from the roof.

The moment they landed on the ground, the two of them staggered.

Wang Yu's eyesight was very good, and he could instantly see that blood had oozed from the waists of the two of them.

On tiptoe, Wang Yu floated directly off the horse, and then stood alone in front of the two of them, staring at the two of them deadly, his eyes full of ambition.

Two assassins touched from behind, and two short knives were touched in an instant.

Under the slanting moon, the dagger was completely blackened.

Wang Yu's breathing suddenly stagnated, and the knife was smeared with poison, so what about the arrow?

These people are determined to want Di Renjie's life.

"Kill!"

In the silent roar, the two people had already rushed forward like light smoke.

At this moment, two long lances suddenly stabbed out from behind Wang Die, and in the horrified eyes of the two assassins, they instantly stabbed into the chests of the two assassins.

Wang Dice was the closest, and he could clearly see that the two assassins, in an instant, their bodies changed I don't know how many times, but it was useless.

The two lances only slightly changed direction before they pierced their chests.

It's as if they knew them all the best.

The two Assassins collapsed to the ground like soft mud, blood spilling from the ground.

Wang Yu turned around and looked at Di Renjie behind him, as well as two middle-aged men standing beside Di Renjie, burly and solemn on their sides.

Of the two middle-aged men, one was missing three fingers on his left hand and the other was missing his entire right arm.

Both of them were dressed in gray robes, and with only one arm, they held the lance tightly.

At this moment, although the two of them were protecting Di Renjie, their faces were already extremely embarrassed.

"What's wrong, two?" Di Renjie looked at the two people in some surprise.

These two people were the guards he borrowed from the Qin family, and they were borrowed from the Qin family through Li Xuan some time ago.

Originally, it was intended to be used to investigate the Zhaoling fire case, but later, Wei Siwen directly blew up the Zhaoling fire case, which made Di Renjie a little at a loss.

Most of the Qin family's guards had already returned to them, and only two good wine were left, following Di Renjie, and they didn't go back for a while.

The Qin family did not urge, and let them live in the courtyard that they had rented before to protect Di Renjie.

Unexpectedly, someone would assassinate Di Renjie.

……

"Send a signal." Qin Sanqi turned his head to look at Wang Qi, and didn't go into detail about the previous things, and directly asked Wang Qi to send a signal.

Wang Yu glanced at Di Renjie, and Di Renjie nodded slightly.

The next moment, the signal flew directly into the air and then exploded.

Di Renjie turned to look at Qin Sanqi and Qin Wuliu, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know these two people?" ”

"Di Renjie, I can't say this, don't ask, someone will give you an explanation in two days." Qin Sanqi shook his head slightly.

The secrets hidden in the two assassins, for unknown reasons, he didn't say.

Qin Wuliu is the same.

There is no doubt that Di Renjie's previous guess was right.

Di Renjie thought slightly, he knew that in the entire Chang'an City, there were too many secrets, especially when it came to the powerful.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Di Renjie had already thought of a possibility.

At this time, a team of fangding had already rushed over.

Di Renjie glanced at Qin Sanqi and Qin Wuliu, looking at the calm expressions of the two, he had faintly confirmed.

……

When Li Xuan arrived at Yankangfang, people from Chang'an County, Dali Temple, Jin Wuwei and Qianniuwei had all rushed over.

The assassination of the Imperial Servant is no small matter.

Especially the assassination was Di Renjie, who was particularly valued by the emperor and queen.

"Brother Huaiying, what the hell is going on?" Li Xuan walked to Di Renjie's side.

At this time, the bodies of the two assassins were already in the hands of the people of Dali Temple, and the other yamen cooperated with Dali Temple to handle the case.

Di Renjie sighed lightly and said: "What the prince said that day is right, it was really eventful, Huaiying didn't know what was going on, he was suddenly assassinated, and he didn't know who these people were?" ”

As he spoke, Di Renjie gently swept towards the two Qin family guards behind him, and Li Xuan immediately understood.

Turning around and walking towards the two, Li Xuan asked in a low voice.

The two Qin family guards did not hide it from Li Xuan, but what they said surprised Li Xuan.

Li Xuan turned around and looked at the two corpses that were carried onto the cart, his face was ugly and terrifying.

"Lord, who is it?" Di Renjie hurriedly asked.

Li Xuan's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Huaiying, this king only said it once, and after you finished speaking, you immediately forgot about it, as if this king never said it." ”

Li Xuan's solemn face made Di Renjie instantly nervous, he nodded slightly, and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"These two people, they are suspected to be subordinates of the secret guards." Li Xuan finished speaking, and then closed her mouth tightly.

Di Renjie's eyes jumped, and then he looked at the two corpses, and soon he shook his head and said: "It can't be a secret guard, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven want to kill Huaiying, just a word, so it can't be a secret guard at all." ”

Di Renjie glanced at the two Qin family guards again, and said a little suddenly: "The two Qin family elder brothers recognized them, it should be from their blade moves and body techniques, so they are not necessarily the people of the secret guards, it is very likely that they are people who have been trained by the secret guards...... Whose secret agent is it? ”

"And whose house is it?" Li Xuan asked calmly.

What Di Renjie said, Li Xuan had already thought of it.

There are very few people in Chang'an who can train the secret guards and the secret agents of the family, and all such characters are the powerful among the powerful.

But such a powerful person should understand the weight of Di Renjie in the hearts of the emperor and the queen of martial arts, and he will not act rashly.

Li Xuan suddenly looked at Di Renjie as if he had thought of something, and Di Renjie also looked at Li Xuan at the same time.

Shaking his head slightly, the two of them did not speak, and some words were not suitable for now.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from ahead.

Immediately after, a team of Qianniuwei appeared at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing Li Xuan and Di Renjie, Qian Niuwei immediately dismounted, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, Di Yushi, the queen of heaven has a call." ”

"Minister Li Xuan, Di Renjie obeys the order."

……

In the Zichen Palace, Empress Wu flipped the fold in her hand.

In a short period of time, the news of Di Renjie's assassination has reached the palace.

The palace had already been locked, but Empress Wu still forced Li Xuan and Di Renjie into the palace.

Empress Wu didn't look up, but asked very casually: "Di Qing, what are you doing with the Qin family to borrow guards?" ”

Di Renjie arched his hand and said calmly: "After returning to the heavens, the minister was originally used as bait to lure the culprit behind the Zhaoling fire case to attack the minister, but I didn't expect the matter of Zhaoling to be solved so quickly, so I sent most of the guards back, leaving only two drinking friends, who stayed for the time being." ”

"I see." Empress Wu was slightly stunned, and then sighed lightly: "That incident, how did you know that Liu Yizhi did it behind the scenes?" ”

"After returning to the heavens, someone spoke." Di Renjie said a word, and Li Xuan and Empress Wu looked at him in great surprise at the same time.

Someone spoke.

Someone opened his mouth to testify against Liu Yizhi to Di Renjie.

"Who?" Empress Wu immediately asked.

"Cui Sheng, the squire of the Criminal Department." Di Renjie spit out a name that neither Li Xuan nor Empress Wu thought of.

"The Criminal Department?" Empress Wu was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How did Cui Sheng know that Liu Yizhi was behind this matter, if this palace knew correctly, Liu Yizhi had never contacted Cui Sheng at all." ”

In the Zhaoling fire case, although the North Gate Bachelor was promoted on the surface, it was a normal means.

Especially when he came forward, it was Liu Sili, who served the imperial history, and the others had no contact with Cui Sheng, the servant of the Criminal Department.

Di Renjie said in a deep voice: "The minister learned from the king of Nanchang, let Cui Sheng guess, he gave the minister a direction, and the minister went to investigate the evidence...... If there is no evidence, the minister will not reveal half a sentence to anyone...... Fortunately, the ministers and others have some results from the investigation, but ......"

Empress Wu raised her hand slightly, and Di Renjie immediately kept silent.

Although Di Renjie has been investigating Liu Yizhi's matter, it is a pity that before he can find out the results of the investigation, Liu Yizhi has been broken by Wei Siwen.

Wei Siwen's matter has nothing to do with Di Renjie.

Tonight's incident, someone went to assassinate Di Renjie, but what Di Renjie left by his side was the remnants of the trap he left for Liu Yizhi, and it worked strangely.

It's hard not to suspect the guards.

Empress Wu raised her head and her eyes fell on Li Xuan.

Looking at Li Xuan, who was slightly worried in his eyes, Empress Wu knew that this matter had nothing to do with Li Xuan, but in the final analysis, it was all involved with him.

Liu Yizhi's affairs, Liu Yizhi's son, are all mentioned by Li Xuan in his letter to the prince.

If there was no Li Xuan, Liu Yizhi would not have had an accident.

"King of Nanchang!" Empress Wu suddenly spoke.

Li Xuan immediately bowed his hand: "The minister is here!" ”

"Tonight's incident, it's hard to find out any evidence," after a slight pause, Empress Wu said: "If this palace asks you to guess now, guess who is the culprit behind tonight's incident, who will you guess?" ”

Give somebody a taste of his own medicine.

Di Renjie had just used Li Xuan's method, and now Empress Wu immediately used this method on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan took a step forward slightly, and then solemnly arched his hand and said: "The queen of enlightenment, the minister guesses that it is the British duke." ”

"Li Jingye?" Empress Wu was slightly stunned, she really didn't think of Li Jingye, she guessed Ming Chongyan, guessed Yuan Wanqing, and guessed Li Xian, but never guessed Li Jingye, she subconsciously asked: "Why Li Jingye?" ”

"Revenge!" Li Xuan bowed his hand heavily, sighed lightly, and said: "Brother Huaiying is a good friend of Xuanzhi, and at the same time, he is valued by His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, assassinating Di Huaiying can not only vent his anger, but also disturb the situation in the DPRK and China, which is extremely beneficial to him." ”

"Is he crazy?"
