At the second watch, the door of the internal security office suddenly opened, and out of it drove out a carriage that was tightly covered by a thick black cloth, the wheels were very wide, and three strong horses dragged it, together with more than 20 internal guard horseback warriors guarding it, galloped out of the office, and the carriage and war horses were terrifying, rumbling and galloping through the wide street.

It also alarmed the forces lurking in Quanshanfang, countless black-clothed people appeared from all corners, their eyes were firmly fixed on the distant carriage, and people began to gallop on the walls and roofs, trying to catch up with the carriage, and several carrier pigeons also fluttered and flew up from a corner, sending away the urgent news that had just been born.

The gate of Quanshanfang has been controlled by the internal security soldiers, there is no need to call the door, the gate is opened directly, the carriage basically did not stop, and rushed out of the gate directly under the strict protection of dozens of cavalry.

A lieutenant under Wan Guojun recognized the carriage, which was an iron-framed prisoner cart specially used by the internal guards to transport important criminals, and the whole carriage was made of fine iron, which was very heavy, so it needed three strong horses to pull it, and he immediately said to a soldier: "Go and report to Commander Wan, the target has appeared!"

The soldier turned on his horse and galloped away at the gate.

At the same time, Zhao Yin also recognized the internal guard warrior as Li Zhen, the deputy commander of the internal guard, so it should be the key assassin in this carriage.

The specially made carriages and the warriors of the inner guard had already arrived at the Heavenly Street, and they were speeding south along the wide and empty Heavenly Street, and they did not leave the city through the Dingding Gate, but came to the thick gate on the side.

"Open the city gate, the internal guards have urgent business to go out of the city!" Li Zhen took out the gold medal and shouted loudly.

The officer on duty in the city recognized the gold medal of the internal guard in Li Zhen's hand, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and the carriage and the internal guard warriors went out of the city gate and drove to the northeast.

Not long after, Lai Junchen, Wan Guojun, Wu Furong and others also led their subordinates to rush out of the thick loads, and chased them to the northeast along the unique track tracks on the ground.

In just half an hour, several powerful people have successively left the thick gate of Luoyang City, and the saber rattling among them made the officers on duty very surprised, and they don't know what happened tonight

Before dawn, Wu Sansi got up early, ready to go to court, he put on his court clothes, sat on the soft couch and drank a bowl of ginseng tea uncertainly.

His third son, Wu Chonglie, had brought him an important piece of information, and that last night, Li Zhen had led a cavalry guard to escort an iron cage carriage to the outside of the city, followed by Wu Chenghei, Wan Guojun, and Lai Junchen's men.

Wu Sansi immediately realized that the person Li Zhen took away must be the assassin who slipped through the net, which made Wu Sansi really annoyed in his heart, and he gave the assassin to Li Zhen, hoping that he could hand over the human card to Lai Junchen, so that Lai Junchen could bring down Wu Chenghei and completely eradicate his own henchmen.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen was unfortunate again, and refused to hand over the key assassin, he knew that he might as well hand it over directly to Lai Junchen, so why bother to make this bend?

"What the hell is this Li Zhen doing?" Wu Sansi scolded in annoyance.

"Father, do you want the child to take some people to participate in the hunt as well?" Wu Chonglie said eagerly.

Wu Chonglie was about 20 years old, tall and quite brave, so Wu Sansi handed over his personal samurai 'Wujiang Hall' to him to take charge.

Wu Chonglie has nothing to do in the past two years, he is uncomfortable in his heart, and it is easy to have a hunting battle involving several factions, Wu Chonglie does not want to let go of this opportunity.

Wu Sansi regretted very much that he handed over the assassin to Li Zhen, and it was of course best if his son could take the assassin back, although Mr. Ming advised him not to participate in the assassination case again, but Wu Sansi did not fully listen to it, especially when he realized that it was a mistake to hand over the assassin to Li Zhen, he was anxious to take the assassin back.

Wu Sansi pondered for a moment and said: "I guess Li Zhen should have taken people to Mingxiu Villa, you don't bring too many people, twenty or thirty people are enough, don't take risks, wait for the opportunity." ”

Wu Chonglie was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "The child understands that he will never let his father down!"

Wu Chonglie was afraid that his father would regret it, so he immediately turned around and ran to collect his subordinates, at this time, Wu Sansi suddenly felt that he should discuss it with Mr. Ming first?

But he just hesitated, he still didn't want to send someone to find Mr. Ming, he couldn't rely on Mr. Ming for everything, he could make his own decisions on such trivial matters.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Chonglie led more than 20 knights of the Military General Hall to rush out of the side gate and run in the direction of Houzaimen, and on the wall of a private house opposite the Liang Wangfu, a black figure appeared, and he also disappeared quickly from the wall

The sky was already bright, and the early dynasty had dispersed, Shangguan Wan'er walked quickly to her official room, there was still some distance from the official room, she saw Zhao Qiuniang pacing back and forth in front of the official room door from a distance, and she immediately realized that there must be something important.

Shangguan Wan'er walked up quickly and said with a smile: "How long has Qiu Niang been waiting?"

"When the lowly office came, the court meeting had just begun. ”

"That's going to be half an hour, so you'll have to wait for a long time. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Qiuniang to speak, Shangguan Wan'er pointed to the back room, "Let's talk inside!"

The two walked into the room, Shangguan Wan'er gave Xiao'e a look, Xiao'e immediately closed the door, "Say, what's new?" Shangguan Wan'er sat down and asked.

"Commander Li has already transferred the people to Mingxiu Villa, this is the note he gave to the people. ”

Zhao Qiuniang handed a note to Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er took the note and looked at it, then lowered her head and pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there any movement over there Wu Sansi?"

"This is also a lowly duty to report to the sheren, today before dawn, Wu Chonglie led twenty-five military generals to leave the Liang Palace, the news from the city gate, Wu Chonglie led his subordinates to the direction of Mingxiu Villa. ”

"What about Princess Taiping?"

"Twenty warriors and twenty internal guards from the Taiping Mansion, under the leadership of Wan Guojun, also rushed to Mingxiu Villa. ”

"It seems that all the immortals have arrived!"

Shangguan Wan'er sneered sarcastically, got up and said, "You wait a while, I'll come when I go." ”

She left her official room, traveled all the way, and soon came to Wu Zetian's imperial study, and after waiting for a while, a eunuch came out and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please let someone in!"

Shangguan Wan'er walked into the imperial study, Wu Zetian was reviewing a few important papers, and when she saw Shangguan Wan'er coming in, she put down her pen and smiled: "Is there anything important for Wan'er to find me?"

Shangguan Wan'er saluted and said in a low voice: "Wan'er has an important matter to report to His Majesty, which is related to Wan'er's assassination in Shaanxi County. ”

She presented the arrow letter that Li Zhen received to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian glanced at the arrow letter in the box, and frowned, "What's going on?"

"This was born yesterday afternoon, someone shot this letter into the official room of Commander Lee, Commander Li conducted an investigation, and has already found out the eyebrows. ”

Wu Zetian's face suddenly became solemn, "You tell me clearly, what happened, tell me in detail, and you must not hide it at all." ”

Mingxiu Villa is located in the northeast of Luoyang, close to the Beibi Mountain, about ten miles away from Luoyang City, it was originally the royal manor of the Sui Dynasty, after several tosses, finally Wu Zetian rewarded it to Shangguan Wan'er.

Mingxiu Villa occupies a small area, by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, the villa is planted with hundred-year-old trees, a delicate house is hidden in it, there is a wide and flat racecourse on the left side of the villa, which can also be used as a polo training ground.

At this time, in the dense woods around the villa, you can see people in black of unknown origin from time to time, and on the high mountain behind the villa, there are even people watching every move in the villa.

There were more than 20 Shangqing Pavilion warriors stationed in the villa, plus 25 internal guard warriors brought by Li Zhen, as well as more than a dozen domestic servants and maids, there were about 60 people in the villa, they were stationed on the high walls and watchtowers around the villa, holding bows and crossbows and long swords, vigilantly watching the movements around them.

In the middle of the villa, there is a seven-storey wooden building, called the Star Picking Tower, standing on the top floor can see all the scenes around the villa, at this time Li Zhen is standing on the top floor, through the windows around Guò to observe the movement outside the villa, as he expected, he used this key assassin as bait to attract all the related parties.

Needless to say, the escaped assassin was the key to the entire assassination, and his testimony would make it impossible for Wu Chengsi to deny it, and only by getting rid of this assassin could Wu Chengji escape this huge trap.

Princess Taiping has a close relationship with Wu Chenghe, whether she wants to get the most benefit or wants to keep Wu Chenghe's alliance, she must take action to grab this key assassin, with this assassin in her hands, Princess Taiping can fully control Wu Chenghe.

Therefore, among the snooping crowds, Princess Taiping's power was the largest, including the warriors of Taiping Mansion and Wan Guojun's internal guards.

In fact, Lai Junchen can directly report to Wu Zetian and let Wu Zetian ask for someone, but Lai Junchen did not do this, there is only one reason, he has too much selfishness hidden in this case, and Li Zhen even suspects that he wants to exchange this assassin and Wu Chenghei for benefits.

As for the assassination case in Shaanxi County, Lai Junchen has a way to deal with it, and a remnant of Xue Huaiyi can be used as the best excuse.

But what surprised Li Zhen was that Wu Sansi's people also came, which was really unexpected by him, I don't know if Wu Sansi was unwilling to be lonely, or Wu Sansi regretted it and wanted to recapture the assassin, the real reason Li Zhen had no way of knowing, but the appearance of the warrior in the Wujiangtang was the best result that Li Zhen expected.

At this time, Zhang Ran hurriedly walked up and bowed down and said, "Commander, I have taken the brothers to count the peeps around the manor, there are about two hundred people. ”

Li Zhen nodded, the number of the other party is not large, with this person, they can't rush into the manor during the day, they can only look for opportunities at night, but

Li Zhen's gaze looked into the distance again, he stood tall and saw far away, with the first-class eyesight of others, the situation he was expecting had faintly appeared in the distance
