On the city gate square, the fire is bright.

Ding Jiu's gaze fell on the extremely vigilant crowd around, his face was unusually relaxed, and he even chuckled.

But after the smile, there were green tendons on his forehead that were about to jump.

The countless gate guards on the city wall had already raised their longbows and crossbows, and aimed them at him.

There were also countless more powerful soldiers holding long lances, staring at him bloodthirsty.

Under the city wall, in addition to the city gate guards in the corner of the rear wall, the black-clothed Dali Temple in front of the city catches fast, the same short knife and long lance, strong bow and crossbow are not lacking.

Not only that, but farther in the rear, groups of Jinwu Guard cavalry were ready to charge.

In the dark corners of the invisible, faint breathing can be heard.

No need to ask, the secret guard is here.

Ding Jiu never thought that he would have to face such a situation.

Although he was very bitter, Ding Jiu still had to make an arrogant posture, because his life was never in his own hands, but in the hands of others.

Reaching out and touching the child on his back, Ding Jiu said with a smug face: "Do you say him, he is the old man's biggest talisman, you came here tonight, aren't you just for him, get out of the way, let the old man leave, the old man will definitely not hurt him." ”

Hearing Ding Jiu say this, He Yiqiu frowned tightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, what are you coming for him, what kind of talisman, who is this kid, if you don't say it, then we can only be sorry." ”

He Qiu waved lightly on the side, and the next moment, more than a dozen Dali Temple catchers took a step forward at the same time, and the crossbow in their hands was raised at the same time.

At the slightest command, they immediately fired their crossbow arrows.

Seeing the look on He Yiqiu's face, Ding Jiu's face changed, and he subconsciously said: "It's not good, they want to kill people." ”

Why did he clench his fists instantly, and the surrounding Dali Temple caught quickly, and at the same time took a step back.

"Who is going to kill people, who is this child?" He Qiu stared at Ding Jiu and said, "Give you a chance, release people, and the official will give you a chance to live." ”

"Live, how can there be any life, after being tortured, bow down and be a dog." Ding Jiu looked at He Yiqiu with disdain, with endless mockery in his eyes.

"Sure enough, you were rescued by someone back then, and then in exchange for your effectiveness, so, your current master ......" He Yiqiu was suddenly obedient, his right hand was raised again, and the next moment, the surrounding Dali Temple stepped forward again, and He Yiqiu's cold voice sounded: "Release the arrow!" ”

Countless crossbow arrows flew into the air in an instant, under the city wall, on the city wall, how could he not hesitate to release the arrows directly.

His eyes fell on the boy in Ding Jiu's arms, he was here today to be ordered to hunt down the fugitive, not to deal with the stolen baby.

Who this baby belongs to and how important it is, it depends on how Ding Jiu reacts.

Ding Jiu didn't think of why he didn't give him the slightest chance to pull, and directly released the arrow.

Countless crossbow arrows were aimed at him and the child in an instant, just to kill him and the child.

In an instant, Ding Jiu suddenly clicked on the ground, and the whole person suddenly rose into the air, dodging countless crossbow arrows at once.

With a little feet, the next moment, Ding Jiu in mid-air actually moved out of thin air and pounced directly towards He Yiqiu.

But at this moment, a black shadow pressed directly from behind He Yiqiu and stabbed Ding Jiu fiercely.

The extremely sharp lance, the momentum is terrifying, and the terrifying person is the Zuojin Wuwei Zhonglang General Ma Sizong.

The war horse brought out an incomparably strong force and stabbed directly into Ding Jiu's chest.

At this moment, Ding Jiu's hand turned lightly on his chest, and the child who was originally hanging on his chest moved directly to his back, and at the same time, Ding Jiu slapped the long lance in front of him, the front lance, and the next moment, he flew directly into the air.

But at this moment, a cold light flew directly from under Ding Jiu's body, and blood splattered instantly.

"Ahh With a cry of pain, Ding Jiu jumped into the air, one of his hands was clutched on his throat, and the wound that was half as deep as it was bleeding violently.

Semi-fatal, painful.

Ding Jiu subconsciously looked at He Yiqiu, and a cold gaze reflected on the sharp blade.

As soon as his gaze was about to be withdrawn, Ding Jiu swept the sneer in He Yiqiu's eyes.

With a soft sound of "whoosh", Ding Jiu was just about to raise his head, the intense pain in his throat slowed him down, and the moment he raised his head, an electric light had already shot into his throat.

The body rose to the end, and the next moment, Ding Jiu had no strength to decline.

At the moment of falling from the crowd, two figures finally reflected on Ding Jiu's eyelids.

Qin Shandao, who was dressed in bright light armor and holding a longbow, and Duan Baoxuan, who was wearing a light purple official robe and holding a long sword.

"General!"

"Siqing!"

Zuo Jinwu guards bowed, Dali Temple quickly bowed down,

The two war horses walked out of the crowd, and with a light pick of the lance, the sleeping child had already fallen into Qin Shandao's arms.

Just by taking a look, Qin Shandao's face couldn't help but change.

Holding the child into his arms, Qin Shandao turned to look at Duan Baoxuan, and arched his hand with an ugly face: "Duan Gong, today is a big matter, Shandao needs to attack and report, the next thing, Dali Temple, Qianniuwei, and the secret guard will discuss each other." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Doctor Duan Baoxuan, Qin Shandao had already hugged the child and went directly in the direction of the palace.

Duan Baoxuan didn't stop him, and the surrounding Dali Temples were fast, and they all stood quietly in place.

"Order, return to the ......" Duan Baoxuan's words had not yet been finished, and a voice had already sounded on the side: "Duan Gong." ”

Xue Yao, who was dressed in a light-colored scarlet robe, walked out of the darkness and arched his hand: "Duan Gong, let's check around, since he came out of Yanshou Fang, we have been staring, people should still be around, as long as they can be found, this crime of colluding with the devil is not light!" ”

Duan Baoxuan looked at Xue Yao with scrutinizing eyes.

To be precise, if there is no King of Nanchang, this Xue Gongzi is the top son of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Born in a top family, his father is the prime minister, and he was already a five-grade prince at a young age, and he was very trusted by the prince.

With such a character, Duan Baoxuan has no need to offend, but ......

"What is the attitude of the secret guards?" Duan Baoxuan looked into the darkness on the other side.

Yuan Wanqing walked out of the darkness and arched his hand and said, "Duan Gong, the secret guard has no attitude, the secret guard doesn't know anything, it's just the right time for him...... It's just that it seems that in addition to you and me, people from the Criminal Department are also here.

Xia Guan thought, no one should have notified the Criminal Department. ”

Everyone present, as soon as their minds turned, they immediately knew how today's events should end.

……

In the Zichen Palace, there was a "bang", countless pieces fell to the ground, and the Empress Wu cursed fiercely: "This bold bastard." ”

"The queen of heaven is angry, and today's matter still needs to be dealt with." Qin Shandao stood in the hall and seriously bowed his hand.

At the door of the main hall, Cheng stood silently.

Empress Wu took a deep breath, sat down slowly, then looked at Qin Shandao and asked, "Qin Qing, what's going on today?" ”

"Returning to the Queen." Qin Shandao arched his hand and said: "Two quarters of an hour ago, Zuo Jin Wuwei received a message from Dali Temple that a senior official had entered Beijing without permission and had a private meeting with important ministers, and Jin Wuwei assisted in the arrest. ”

"Assisted in the arrest, but in the end a six-year-old child was caught." Empress Wu's cold eyes fell on Qin Shandao.

Qin Shandao bowed down and said: "The Queen of Heaven is a young child who was kidnapped and fell into the hands of bandits, and Zuo Jin Wuwei was ordered to rescue him. ”

Empress Wu was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "You are right, it is a young child who was kidnapped." ”

Empress Wu's face turned grim, and her fists were clenched.

Qin Shandao arched his hand and said: "After the minister rescued the young child, he quickly sent the person to the palace, and all the affairs at the city gate were handed over to Dali Temple, Qianniuwei and secret guards to deal with. ”

Empress Wu's expression relaxed, nodded and said, "You did a good job, Qin Qing, according to you, this is ......"

An attendant stood cautiously in front of the door of the main hall and bowed his hand solemnly.

Empress Wu saw him at the first time and gave her hand directly: "What's the matter?" ”

"After returning to the heavens, Dali Siqing and Shulang asked to see."

"Yes!" Empress Wu waved her hand casually, and then looked at the door of the palace.

Duan Baoxuan and Yuan Wanqing walked in at the same time, and arched their hands: "The ministers and others see the Queen of Heaven, and the Queen of Heaven is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Alright." Empress Wu waved her hand directly, leaned forward, her eyes fell on Duan Baoxuan, and asked, "Duan Qing, what's going on today?" ”

"Returning to the Queen." Duan Baoxuan bowed solemnly and said: "Three quarters of an hour ago, the minister received a report from the East Palace that a senior official entered Beijing without permission and had a private meeting with the important ministers, and Dali Temple checked it according to the law. ”

"Dali Temple verification, do you need to mobilize Jin Wuwei?" Empress Wu's face turned cold, and she slapped her palm on the table hard.

She knew best what was going on.

Duan Baoxuan continued to arch his hand and said, "Back to the Queen of Heaven, this is the suggestion of the East Palace. ”

Empress Wu froze for a moment, and then his expression eased.

"Then how did the East Palace know that there were important ministers who had entered the capital privately?" Empress Wu immediately spoke coldly.

"The Queen of Heaven should be related to Wannian County." Yuan Wanqing took half a step forward and arched his hand: "Queen, in the past few days, Yongzhou Mansion has sent several people to Chang'an Wannian Second County to find bad people to act. ”

"Yongzhou Mansion." Empress Wu had a cold face and gently knocked on the imperial case.

The two counties of Chang'an Wannian are under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Government, but Yongzhou is vacant, and it was the prince Li Xian before.

Although Li Xian did not serve as the pastor of Yongzhou, the officials of all sizes in his mansion served in Yongzhou Mansion.

Especially after Li Xian succeeded as the crown prince, many officials of Yongzhou Mansion also entered the East Palace.

Through Yongzhou Mansion, it indirectly affects the two counties of Chang'an Wannian, and this method ......

"Whose opinion is this from the East Palace?" Empress Wu asked very directly.

"After returning to the heavens, she is the king of Nanchang." Yuan Wanqing bowed down and said: "The day before the king of Nanchang left Beijing, the prince went to the king of Nanchang to visit and negotiate privately. ”

"Sure enough, it has been experienced by the state and county." Empress Wu chuckled disdainfully, and said, "Be quiet and cautious, prince, it's really good that you haven't learned, and you can learn a little mess." ”

Everyone present bowed their heads in a deep bow, their faces solemn.

A quiet and cautious sentence, they knew that this was definitely not something that the people in the East Palace could say, and the only one who could say it was the king of Nanchang.

This is the advice of the king of Nanchang to the prince before leaving Beijing.

Thinking of the past, the king of Nanchang suggested that the prince start from the bad people of Chang'an, and he knew that once this method continued, the power would definitely not be small.

But it's a pity that all these things are known to the queen of heaven.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, you said to arrest people, and in the end you caught such a thing?" Empress Wu's gaze fell on everyone.

Everything today, everyone knows, they originally wanted to arrest Ming Chongyan, but now, where did Ming Chongyan go?

The ministers bowed their heads and were silent, where is Ming Chongyan, does it matter now?

What matters is that child, who is that child?

One of them, and that Ding Jiu of the Heavenly Demon Sect, why would they get into the current wind and rain.

Ding Jiu is just a remnant of the Demon Dao who is not dead.

But that child, who is he, and why is he involved in these things?

and Ming Chongyan, why did he use this child as a pawn in his struggle with the prince?

Who is he?

……

"Queen of Heaven, the prince's left concubine asks to see!"

Empress Wu raised her head, her face indifferent: "Xuan!" ”
