Above the Weishui, the sails are sounding.

Li Xuan stood at the bow of the ship and handed the letter in his hand to Yao Chong.

Yao Chong glanced at it, and while handing it to Song Jing, he looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Lord Wang, Zuo Jin Wuwei missed, could it be that someone leaked the secret." ”

Li Xuan looked at Chang'an City in the distance, shook his head lightly, and said, "Impossible, yesterday's performance was sent to Chang'an overnight, and no one can be faster than us."

Zuo Jin Wuwei also made a move in the early dynasty, and before everyone reacted, he directly surrounded Huaiyuanfang, and caught more than a dozen demon sect thieves, and found Xiao Tianzi's hiding place, and everyone who was fast did not react. ”

"But Xiao Tianzi was still there half an hour before Jin Wuwei arrived, but after Zuo Jin Wuwei arrived, he suddenly disappeared, it's hard not to wonder what went wrong."

After a slight pause, Yao Chong said, "The secret guards have been monitoring Huaiyuan Fang for a long time, and it is not so easy to escape suddenly. ”

"It's not that easy to escape suddenly, but what if you were prepared." After a slight pause, Li Xuan squinted his eyes and said, "Maybe it's also possible that he went to do something else to get away with it." ”

"Does the prince mean that they already had other plans before?" Yao Chong understood Li Xuan's plan, then raised his head, looked at Li Xuan and said, "If this is the case, then their plan in Chang'an must not be simple. ”

Li Xuan nodded lightly, then looked at Yao Chong and Song Jing, and asked, "Now in Chang'an, we have four clues to check:

The first is the Turkic people of Huaiyuanfang; the second is to supervise the imperial history Wei Siwen; the third is Wailang, a member of the criminal department who has committed suicide; The fourth is the mansion of Ashina Nishulu, the general of the left Xiaowei Zhonglang, and Ashina Gana, the general of the right guard.

Where do you think we should start? ”

"Ashina." Yao Chong and Song Jing spoke at the same time, and after speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled back.

Li Xuan nodded and sighed: "Yes, Ashina...... The Ashina clan has a very important position in the grassland, and even after a few decades, Tuli and Jieli still have great prestige in the grassland. As soon as their descendants return to the steppe, they will immediately gather hundreds of thousands of steppe warriors, and indeed, the center of gravity of the Turks should be them. ”

The Turks of Huaiyuanfang in Chang'an, as long as the emperor used Li Xuan's strategy, then their desire to return to the steppe was no longer so strong.

Supervising the imperial history Wei Siwen is already a dead chess piece, and the person he is associated with is only Li Jingye.

It's a problem on the side of the Criminal Department, and it's not Pei Yan behind that person.

Pei Yan is not going to kill people for this matter.

So who is the person behind him?

Hidden Pole Sect? Cloud Crane Wall?

Or is it the one who can't make the most moves?

……

Chang'an East City, Anxing Fang.

Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang will be in front of the mansion of Ashina Nishu.

Li Xuan rode a tall horse into the fangmen.

As soon as he entered the workshop, he felt countless pairs of eyes staring at it inside and out.

In front of the mansion, there was a whole team of Qianniu Guards, and on the long street, there were two teams of Jinwu Guards patrolling back and forth.

Looking at the mansion guarded by so many people, Li Xuan's eyes brought a hint of surprise, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Lord Wang." A familiar call came from the side.

Li Xuan looked sideways and saw Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang riding Ma Sizong out of the alley on one side, and behind him, there were more than a dozen guards.

Li Xuan looked at Ma Sizong in surprise: "Brother Zhonghua, why did you come here, didn't you track down Xiao Tianzi's whereabouts in Xicheng?" ”

Ma Sizong shook his head and said: "Xiao Tianzi has already fled, and our movement is so big, it is impossible for him to go back, so the last general guesses that he may have arrived here, no, the prince is also here?" ”

A smile appeared on Ma Sizong's face, Li Xuan had just come back from Luoyang, and he came here directly, which had already proved that Ma Sizong's guess was correct.

"Brother Zhonghua, besides me, who else is staring here?" Li Xuan's eyes looked around, and a trace of uneasiness flashed between his expressions.

"The people from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Yongzhou Mansion, Chang'an County, Qianniuwei, and Jinwuwei have all arrived, what, is there anything wrong?" Ma Sizong said, even he himself felt that something was wrong.

"There are so many people here." Li Xuan shook his head, sighed lightly, and then said, "It seems that someone deliberately paid attention to everyone here, so that naturally he could do things elsewhere?" ”

"Do things and escape from Chang'an?"

"Nope." Li Xuan's expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "Xuan originally guessed that the reason why Xiao Tianzi was hiding in Chang'an was because he wanted to do a big thing in Chang'an, but he didn't guess what this big event was for a while, so he was so anxious to find him out." ”

"He's in Chang'an, isn't he just going to save people?" Ma Sizong looked up at the Ashina Nishuluo Mansion not far away.

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but all of us have guessed this, and it will be difficult for him to do anything else, so ......" Li Xuan looked around and said softly: "Or, he will do other things and attract our attention; Or, he has completely changed the goal. ”

"What goal?" Ma Sizong already understood what Xiao Tianzi was going to do.

"The crown prince, the king of England, the king of the prime minister, the princess of Taiping, the prime ministers, the Shangshu, the generals, etc., as long as one is assassinated, it will be an unbearable loss for my Datang." Li Xuan held down the horse and said in a deep voice: "Now I also ask Brother Zhonghua to notify all parties immediately, so as not to really have an accident." ”

"Okay, the last general will go now." Ma Sizong looked uneasy for a while, and immediately handed over the arrangement.

Li Xuan nodded, turned the horse, and said at the same time: "This king will also go into the palace to take a look, and then go to Huaiyuanfang to see if there are any clues left." ”

"Lord Wang, please!" Ma Si Zong gave up.

Li Xuan nodded, and then each of them left Anxingfang with people.

Some people left, but not much.

Who knows when Xiao Tianzi will turn back again.

……

It was getting dark, and the curfew was rising.

The figures of ordinary people have disappeared from the long street.

In front of the Kaihua Workshop, Li Xuan returned from outside with a frown.

Dressed in a gold silk robe with a black background, with a black sheath and an eight-sided Han sword hanging from his waist, he swayed at will.

All around, Su Baotong was tightly guarded by twenty-five Qianniu guards, and his expression was tired.

Li Xuan had a busy day today, and in the end, he didn't find any clues about Xiao Tianzi in Anxingfang.

This guy doesn't know where he's hiding, and no one can find him.

What Li Xuan was most worried about was that he was going to assassinate the crown prince, but Li Xian "happened" to leave the palace at this time.

Li Xuan could see the coincidence in this, if Li Xian really did this, he would really be more and more disappointed.

The light in front of him suddenly darkened, and the door instantly blocked the light in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

Just when Li Xuan relaxed, the knife flashed up.

A sharp sword light had slashed in front of Li Xuan's neck in an instant, and there was incomparable horror in his eyes.

didn't have time to think about it, the eight-sided Han sword hanging from his waist had already ejected in an instant.

With a "ding" sound, in the most incredible moment, the hilt of the sword slammed into the long knife that was slashed.

After the sword light, the black figure suddenly soared into the air, with incomparable surprise in his eyes.

It's so powerful.

At the same time, the long knife had already slashed towards Li Xuan's neck from the bottom up.

At this time, Li Xuan fell backwards suddenly, and two thousand cattle knives slashed from behind in an instant, and then slashed the long knife.

The long knife was swung away in an instant, and the eight-sided Han sword stabbed directly upwards at this time.

The black figure rolled, and the long knife had been dragged and slashed fiercely.

With a loud sound of "dang", Li Xuan's right hand suddenly hurt violently, but he still held the long sword and directly cut off the long knife in front of him.

The next moment, Li Xuan had already retreated into the Qianniu Guard.

The black shadow in mid-air rolled again, and in the blink of an eye, it had already crossed the distance of two or three zhang and killed the top of Li Xuan's head again.

Skillful and terrifying.

The four Thousand Cow Swords slashed upwards at the same time in an instant, but the black shadow in mid-air at this time, strangely passed through the layers of knife nets and slashed directly at the back of Li Xuan's neck.

With a "whoosh", a sharp sword roar suddenly rose, and suddenly stabbed out from between Li Xuan's arms, stabbing fiercely into the heart of the person who came.

In the face of the sudden stabbing long sword, the speed of the black shadow long knife did not decrease, but the whole person rolled in mid-air, and he actually wanted to avoid the long sword again, and the long knife slashed at the back of Li Xuan's neck.

"Zila" twice, and the two pieces of clothing flew up instantly.

The collar on the back of Li Xuan's neck and the clothes on the black shadow's chest all flew up in an instant.

Immediately after hearing the sound of "ding", the long knife flew up instantly, and the black figure flew up like catkins, and the Qianniu knife slashed behind him did not hurt him at all.

The black figure did not fall easily this time, because Li Xuan had already rushed to the back of Qianniuwei at this time.

Looking at the black figure rushing towards the fangmen, Li Xuan's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Array." ”

"Whoa!" Twenty-five Qianniu Guards, without the slightest hesitation, immediately rode back behind Li Xuan.

The long knives were to the right, hanging diagonally to the ground, and their faces were solemn, this time, they were ready to fight.

……

The eight-sided Han sword leads, and the sword waves rise and fall.

Li Xuan looked up at the black shadow on the door, and said softly: "Your Excellency must be Xiao Tianzi, I really didn't expect that Your Excellency's ultimate goal was this king." ”

"Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, was really killed on the battlefield, and the method of exchanging injuries for death is very familiar." Xiao Tianzi took a step forward and appeared under the lights.

Dressed in a black night suit, his face was covered with a black scarf, his hair was tied up high, his eyes were bright and terrifying, and he was burly, except for his voice with a heavy hoarseness.

It didn't seem to be tired, but an irreparable injury to his throat.

"This king has been looking for Your Excellency all day, but I didn't expect you to come to me." Li Xuan's eyes showed a hint of amusement.

He searched for a whole day in Chang'an City, thinking that this guy would assassinate this and that, but he didn't expect that in the end, his target would be himself.

"This time, I came to test the prince's skills, and I can see that the prince's strength is not weak, I think Ming Chongyan should have been killed by you, right?" As soon as Xiao Tianzi's voice changed, he immediately put a black cauldron on Li Xuan's head.

"Me?" A trace of confusion suddenly rose on Li Xuan's face, and then he shook his head, and said with a lot of amusement: "Is this someone else asking you to come to this king, can you tell who this king is?" ”

Xiao Tianzi shook his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said deeply: "The king of Nanchang is not weak, for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince, he assassinated the real person Ming Chongyan of Shiyin, I think it's right." ”

Each speaks his own words, and the head of the bull is not in the mouth of the horse.

Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Xiao Tianzi with a cold face and said, "It seems that Your Excellency is sure that Shiyin Zhenren is dead, can you tell this king, where is his remains?" ”

Xiao Tianzi's brows furrowed instantly.

At this time, not far away, the roaring sound of horses' hooves had rushed over.

"Huh!" Xiao Tianzi snorted coldly, turned back in an instant, fell into the Kaihua Workshop, and disappeared completely.
