Li Zhen hurriedly greeted him and bowed down, "See Shangguan Sheren!"

Shangguan Wan'er's face was very grim, she looked at the wounded soldier and asked, "How many casualties?"

"Nine people were wounded, and unfortunately four were killed. ”

"How many people did he send to ambush you?" Shangguan Wan'er asked with hatred, gritting her teeth.

"About two hundred people!"

"Damn it!"

Shangguan Wan'er scolded in a low voice, Xue Huaiyi's madness was not unexpected, but she did not remind Li Zhen in time that she had a certain responsibility for this matter.

Shangguan Wan'er was apologetic in her heart, and said to Li Zhen: "Go to your official room, I have something to say to you." ”

Li Zhen took Shangguan Wan'er to the official room, Shangguan Wan'er squatted down, carefully examined the injury on his leg, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Are you seriously injured?"

Li Zhen was moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, it's just a little flesh and skin injury, and it will be good to raise it for a few days." ”

Shangguan Wan'er stood up, nodded and said, "Don't take any more action in the past few days, pay attention to protect the safety of yourself and your subordinates, his target should be you, you have to be especially careful." ”

"I'll be careful, but how to deal with this matter? Is that all?" Li Zhen's eyes spurted with anger.

"You calm down first!"

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't hide the anger in her heart, and interrupted Li Zhen's words heavily, "I know you're angry, but this matter is very important, you listen to me finish speaking." ”

"Okay!" Li Zhen restrained the anger in his heart and said, "You go on." ”

Shangguan Wan'er also calmed down her mind and said slowly: "This is the first time in ten years that Xue Huaiyi has used a warrior monk to ambush an official of the imperial court, and it is also aimed at internal guards, and it is very strict in nature, I suspect that Xue Huaiyi already has a heart of disobedience." ”

Li Zhen didn't interrupt Shangguan Wan'er's words, he was still thinking about Xue Huaiyi's next move, after Xue Huaiyi ambushed him today, would he temporarily stop fighting, or would he continue to look for opportunities?

"Are you listening to me?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at him.

"I'm listening, please continue!"

Shangguan Wan'er felt that he was absent-minded, so she glared at him, and continued: "Xue Huaiyi has raised tens of thousands of warrior monks in the White Horse Temple, and he has installed a lot of henchmen in the Luoyang garrison, if he feels that the catastrophe is coming, he will take risks, even if he fails, it will bring a huge catastrophe to Luoyang, and at the same time, let the saint lose face, it is likely to implicate you, I don't want to see such a result." ”

"Will you implicate me?" Li Zhen looked at her suspiciously.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "If the saint has no face, everyone will be unlucky, not only you, including me, but also Gao Yanfu, Wu Youxu, etc., none of them can escape, they will only cheapen Princess Taiping for nothing, do you understand?"

Li Zhen was speechless, silent for a moment, and then he asked again: "Do you think Princess Taiping will make a fuss about this matter?"

Shangguan Wan'er sighed, with a look of worry in her eyes, "This is exactly what I am worried about, Princess Taiping also saw the change in the attitude of the Holy Lord towards Xue Huaiyi, she was bent on snatching the dominance of this matter, and it became her to bring down Xue Huaiyi, and finally she took away the fruits of the politics that I had worked hard for several years, no matter what, you can't let Princess Taiping seize the handle against Xue Huaiyi." ”

"Since the Holy Lord's attitude towards Xue Huaiyi has changed, then why didn't she directly issue an order to arrest Xue Huaiyi? It seems that she is still hesitant and can't make up her mind. ”

"The saint is a woman after all! You don't understand her thoughts, she has favored Xue Huaiyi for ten years, if she doesn't have a little feeling, it is a lie, although Xue Huaiyi disappointed her again and again, so that the saint has long distrusted him, but let the saint kill Xue Huaiyi, she really can't make this determination, unless Xue Huaiyi makes an unforgivable mistake. ”

"For example, what, is the assassination of the internal guard unforgivable?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "He can say that it is a personal vendetta between the two of you, and the unforgivable mistake I said means that he plotted to rebel, and the evidence is conclusive, so I have been waiting for him to make this mistake." ”

Shangguan Wan'er walked to the window with her hands in her hands, and said with a long sigh: "In September last year, I hinted at the Holy Lord, saying that the White Horse Temple raised tens of thousands of warrior monks, and Xue Huaiyi may have bad intentions, but the Holy Lord reprimanded me, saying that I provoked the relationship between her and Xue Huaiyi, so I didn't dare to mention this matter at all, I was waiting, I knew that Xue Huaiyi would show his feet sooner or later." ”

"His horse's feet were exposed. Li Zhen said lightly.

Shangguan Wan'er looked back at him, "What did you say?"

"I've been investigating the Linzhi Temple for the past two days, and today I went out of the city to Bao'en Temple, just to find the abbot of the original Linzhi Temple to ask for a map, Xue Huaiyi sent more than 200 warrior monks to strengthen the defense of the Linzhi Temple, I think there must be something unsightly hidden in the Linzhi Temple. ”

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed with strong interest, and she looked at Li Zhen, "Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, I have made a thorough plan, but I still need to wait for the opportunity, I heard that there is a grand puja at the Lintoe Temple on the fifth day of the first lunar month, maybe I will have something to gain on that day. ”

Li Zhen's eyes flashed with a sneer, as if everything was under his control

In the spacious study, Princess Taiping turned her head slightly, her slender phoenix eyes narrowed into a slit, "Is your news accurate?"

Wan Guojun respectfully reported: "Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the news is very accurate, one of my subordinates witnessed hundreds of warrior monks besieging Li Zhen and more than a dozen of his subordinates, they killed several internal guard soldiers, and dozens of people themselves died, but Li Zhen still broke through and escaped. ”

"What a useless bunch of fools, hundreds of people besieged and he ran away. ”

Princess Taiping scolded, she looked out the window and pondered for a moment, and said to Wan Guojun: "Don't act rashly on your side, continue to stare at Li Zhen, pay attention to his every move, he has suffered this big loss, he will definitely not give up, I want to know what his plan is?"

"Obey the order!"

"That's all, go ahead!"

Wan Guojun saluted, slowly retreated, and walked to the door, Princess Taiping stopped him again, "There is another thing, those civilian officials of the internal guard are also very useful, to win them over, especially the long history Cui Shaoying, he is very effective for you to completely control the internal guard in the future, don't let him be co-opted by Li Zhen, understand?"

"But...... Where do you start?"

Princess Taiping showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and said coldly: "Everyone will have weaknesses, and Cui Changying will be no exception, do you still need me to teach you?"

"Don't dare!"

Princess Taiping took out a stack of paperwork from the box and threw it to him, "These materials will be helpful to you!"

"The lowly knows what to do. ”

Wan Guojun was so frightened that he wiped the sweat on his forehead, picked up the information on the table, and slowly retreated, Princess Taiping slowly turned her eyes out of the window, thinking about something carefully.

As Shangguan Wan'er worried, Princess Taiping did have an opportunity from this incident, she has been thinking about how to take the initiative to bring down Xue Huaiyi into her own hands for the past two days, Li Zhen's assassination incident made her see an opportunity, can she use Xue Huaiyi's warrior monk to make it difficult?

Princess Taiping pondered for a long time, returned to her seat and wrote a letter, she immediately called an old servant, handed the letter to him, and said, "You go to the palace of Zhou Yushi and give him this letter!"

"The old slave obeys!"

The old servant took the letter and hurried away, Princess Taiping stood up and was about to leave, but at this time, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over and said, "Princess Qiyu, Miss Furong is here!"

Princess Taiping remembered Wu Furong's promise to herself, and gave several polo masters to herself, and she immediately said happily: "Please let her in!"

After a while, Wu Furong came to the study, and she stepped forward to salute: "Thank you princess for saving me and freeing my father!"

Wu Chengji returned home on the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, and he was extremely grateful to Princess Taiping for interceding for him, so he asked his daughter to express his gratitude to Princess Taiping on his behalf, and Princess Taiping nodded, "Furong is welcome, I don't know how Ling Zun's body is?"

"My father is really not in good health and needs to recuperate, otherwise he will come today to express his gratitude to the princess in person. ”

"Let him rest well, and I will visit him in two days. ”

"Thank you princess for your concern, and besides, I'll bring three polo players"

Without waiting for Wu Furong to finish speaking, Princess Taiping waved her hand and smiled hypocritically: "I'm just talking, how can you take it seriously?"

"No, no, that's what I promised, and besides, they themselves would like to follow the princess, and ask her to come with me. ”

Princess Taiping got the night pearl of the martial family, and she was very satisfied with this deal, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to reach an alliance with Wu Chengsi and pull part of the power of the martial family to her side, it was for this consideration that she didn't attach much importance to Wu Chenghe's polo player.

However, if Wu Furong was willing to give the polo player to herself, she didn't want to refuse, and Princess Taiping happily followed Wu Furong to the gate.

There were three young polo players standing in front of the shadow wall inside the gate, all of them looked less than twenty years old, all of them looked like talents, their waists were straight, waiting for Princess Taiping to come and inspect them, Princess Taiping walked in front of them one by one, and her appearance and appearance made her very satisfied.

At this time, her eyes fell on the third polo player, only to see that he was slender, with straight legs, wearing high leather boots, and his appearance was even more bewitching, with a slender nose, long eyebrows that were more slender than a woman, a pair of deep pool-like eyes, and delicate and fair skin, a little more beautiful than a woman.

Princess Taiping's eyes lit up, staring directly at the polo player, and for a while the other two polo players and Wu Furong were left behind, Wu Furong knew it, and secretly despised Princess Taiping was a good man, she stepped forward and smiled: "His name is Zhang Changzong, but he plays polo well, and the flute is also played very well, if the princess likes it......"

Princess Taiping's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and at this moment she only had this man as beautiful as a lotus flower in her heart, and she asked softly, "Your name is Zhang Changzong?"

Zhang Changzong bowed elegantly, "If the princess is willing, you can call me Liulang!"

"Okay, I'll call you Rokuro, where is Rokuro from?"

Princess Taiping was already itching, so she couldn't wait to pull him on the bed immediately and have a good time with him, but Wu Furong was next to her, and she didn't dare to show it too explicitly.

Her gaze reluctantly moved away from Zhang Changzong's face, turned back to Wu Furong and smiled: "Thank you Furong for sending three excellent polo players, I will come to your mansion in person in two days to express my gratitude to your father." ”

"Where! should be our thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess for taking care of her. ”

The two women looked at each other and smiled meaningfully, Princess Taiping wanted to win over Wu Chenghei, and the Wu family also needed Princess Taiping as a powerful backer, and both sides tacitly agreed
