The Royal Palace, the Study,

The empress held the secret letter that had just been presented by the government office, and her face was gloomy to the extreme!

At this moment, she is like a volcano that may erupt at any time. For a while, the atmosphere in the entire study room can be described as extremely depressing.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Dongzi has arrived."

The blue bird's voice was not loud, although she didn't know what was going on on the side of the mansion, which made His Majesty so angry.

But in the current situation, she can only do her part.

After Yang Dong entered the study, he also felt that the atmosphere was wrong. He looked at the empress and saw that the other party's pretty face was slight, and he frowned unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, the government is ...... over there"

"Xiao Dongzi, see for yourself."

The empress casually handed the secret letter from the government to the other party, as if there was not the slightest distrust.

When the blue bird saw this scene, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She knew that the empress trusted Yang Dong very much, but she never expected that the secret letter that she had never seen was given to Yang Dong by the empress at this moment. In this way, Xiao Dongzi is already the most trusted person of His Majesty. Do you need to improve your relationship with Xiao Dongzi?

On the other side, after Yang Dong opened the secret letter, the doubts in his heart became more and more profound.

The content of the secret letter is very simple, that is, Li Qiong, the commander of the Diwu Army, was assassinated at home.

The above details the situation that happened in the Li Mansion.

In addition to Li Changle and the servants in the family, Li Qiong died, and his wife was missing.

Looking at the secret letter in his hand, Yang Dong couldn't help but ponder secretly.

The commander of the Diwu Army died in the capital mansion, is this case serious? Naturally, it is extremely serious.

It's just that even so, there is no need for Rong to call himself to the study in the middle of the night, right?

And looking at Yourong's expression, it is clearly a manifestation of extreme anger.

It's just that...... Why?

After thinking for a while, Yang Dong finally asked:

"Your Majesty, this case is extremely bad, and the murderer is afraid that he is not a simple person."

"It's just that Ren Ziyou mentioned by the government government, I really don't have any impression."

"It's better to hand over this case to Xichang to investigate, I believe it won't take long for the investigation to come to light."

The empress glanced at Yang Dong deeply, and said slowly:

"Do you know that two hours ago, in this study, I met that Li Qiong."

As soon as these words came out, Rao is blue bird also heard the strangeness.

His Majesty summoned the courtiers he had just summoned and was assassinated when he returned to the palace.

If this is a coincidence, it is a bit too much of a coincidence!

Yang Dong lowered his head and was silent.

The empress did not urge, but her majestic gaze always fell on Yang Dong, and she never moved half a minute.

After about half a pillar of incense, Yang Dong slowly spoke:

"If it is according to what Your Majesty said, I think that this Li Qiong's death is very strange. Even behind it, I am afraid that there is some conspiracy hidden. ”

At this point, he paused, and only after his thoughts were in order did he speak:

"Today's capital, although it is not airtight, but the public security environment has been greatly improved. Ordinary small people probably don't have the courage to commit crimes on the cusp. ”

"This person who assassinated Li Qiong's commander is afraid that he has premeditated. Merely...... And for what did he do this? Li Qiong did not hide his whereabouts, and when he came to the palace, he would definitely not be able to avoid the eyes of the assassins. ”

"Isn't this assassin afraid of attracting His Majesty's attention when he does it at this time? Even if it is Lin Chunqiu's old dog, who has been laid out in the court for many years, he definitely does not dare to be so unscrupulous. ”

"Unless...... Unless the other party has a background that is not inferior to Da Zhou. But if you are a person with such a background, why do you want to do it to Li Qiong? ”

Yang Dong said, rubbing his eyebrows with some annoyance.

"If I were the assassin, if I was going to attack, I would have to choose the most important target!"

At this, his eyes gradually brightened.

"Now by Your Majesty's side, the most important thing is naturally me. So why don't you do it to me at this moment? ”

Bluebird stood aside, hearing his narcissistic words, and wanted to scoff at it, but after thinking about it carefully, what this guy seemed to say was not unreasonable, that is, it was too narcissistic.

The empress also showed a contemplative expression,

"Maybe it's because of your strength that the assassin is jealous?"

Yang Dong thought for a moment and continued:

"If you are afraid of my strength, you should also choose some gentlemen from Lanxiang Academy to assassinate you, and no matter how bad it is, you should also attack those students who are just showing their edge."

"Choosing a commander of the local military army who doesn't hurt grandma and uncle doesn't love is really elusive!"

As soon as these words fell, the blue bird raised objections.

"Xiao Dongzi, your inference is too arbitrary! Although the strength of the Diwu Army is not good, it is one of the sixteen armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty after all, and his commander is also a general. ”

"The assassin killed him, perhaps to take the opportunity to disrupt the local army, so as to make the fire worse!"

When Yang Dong heard this, he shook his head again,

"It shouldn't be, the Diwu Army is stationed in Xiongguan, even if there is really turmoil, the Broken Army and Yongwu Army stationed in Xiongguan can easily deal with them."

"Besides, if you assassinate just one Li Qiong, the local martial arts army can't be chaotic at all."

After saying this, Yang Dong showed a confident expression on his face.

As early as when he sought the assistance of the Diwu Army, he had already secretly launched an infiltration of the Diwu Army.

After all, Xiongguan is too important, and he absolutely does not tolerate the existence of an army that does not obey orders near Xiongguan.

To this day, although he does not dare to say that he has completely controlled the Diwu Army, he has at least mastered seven or eight percent.

Therefore, it is impossible for the local army to cause turmoil!

At this moment, the empress suddenly spoke:

"Little Dongzi, do you think it's possible that this assassin is deliberately demonstrating to me?"

When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Judging by the Assassin's actions, it makes sense. But...... Why? ”

"He does this, except to provoke His Majesty, and has no practical value, unless ......"

Speaking of this, Yang Dong seemed to have thought of something, and said suddenly:

"Your Majesty, do you think there is a possibility that this assassin wants to stand up?"

"Liwei!?"

The empress frowned, and immediately understood what Yang Dong meant.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying coercion erupted from her body.

"What a Liwei, does he want to tell the hundred officials of the Great Zhou that if anyone takes refuge in me, will he take his life?"

"Bold!"

At this moment, the power of the empress belonging to the emperor was shown to the extreme at this moment.

Even the blue bird knelt on the ground nervously, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"Little Dongzi, listen to the order!"
