In order to compete for the right to inherit the throne, the two clans of Li and Wu fought for nearly 20 years, but in the end, there was something that no one could have imagined, the Son of Heaven Wu Zetian actually wanted to crown Wu Youning as the King of Yan, and the discerning person immediately understood the meaning, and the Son of Heaven may finally choose Wu Youning to inherit the throne.

In fact, when Wu Youning visited the prime minister many years ago, some people saw that the Son of Heaven was deliberately cultivating Wu Youning, especially after Wu Sansi broke out a series of scandals three years ago and lost the opportunity to be crowned the prince, the only person who could come out to take the lead in the martial arts family was Wu Youning.

This time, Wu Youning was named the prince, which was unexpected, but also reasonable.

Wu Youning is about forty years old this year, was named the king of Jianchang County, is the third generation of the Wu family more outstanding disciples, although he is also more mean, not very sympathetic to his subordinates, but compared to other Wu disciples, he is still more shrewd and capable, and he also cherishes his reputation, and his notoriety is not much.

He had received a secret decree from the Holy Lord four days earlier, announcing that he would return to Beijing as soon as possible to accept the canonization of King Yan.

Of course, Wu Youning also knew what this meant, but he didn't really want to accept the canonization of this prince, he knew very well that once he became the king of Yan and was about to win the crown prince's throne, he would definitely become the common enemy of the Li and Wu clans, with his current power and connections, he would not be able to control the overall situation after the death of the saint, and in the end he would most likely suffer a coup d'état and die without a place to die.

He really couldn't understand how the Holy One could choose himself.

But the holy decree is like a mountain, and he has no choice but to go back to the capital first, and that evening, he led his entourage to Shuangqiao Town, Mianchi County.

Shuangqiao Town is a big town, with a population of more than 400 households, plus the merchants who come and go from the south to the north and the people who sell coolies, the actual population of the town has reached nearly 1,000 households, which is equivalent to a small county town, where the business is developed, and there are all kinds of shops, so that when Wu Youning and his party of more than 80 people arrived, they could not find a spare inn, and had to live in three inns not far from each other.

Wu Youning and more than 20 guards lived in an inn called Lingyundu, at this time night had fallen, the guards were eating in the lobby on the first floor, Wu Youning sat in the room on the third floor, and wrote a note to the saint, he hoped that the saint could consider the reality and cancel the canonization.

But he just wrote halfway through, but he couldn't write anymore, as early as many years ago, he just entered the political hall as a minister, and the saint hinted at him, let him take on more of the Wu clan responsibility, he knew that sealing himself as the king of Yan was a matter that the saint had considered for many years, how could he change his mind because of a piece of music, he didn't have any meaning in writing this piece at all.

Wu Youning was distraught, put down the pen, crumpled the music into a ball, and was about to throw it into the incense burner, but at this moment, he unexpectedly found a black shadow flashing on the eaves opposite, he was immediately taken aback, and shouted urgently: "Come on!

He turned around and ran out of the house, only to hear a loud bang on the window, this is someone knocked the window open, a man in black rolled in, Wu Youning just ran out of the room, only to hear a click, a sharp pain in his left foot, as soon as he looked down, he found that his left foot was gone.

Wu Youning's eyes were dark, and he rolled down the stairs, and more than two dozen of his guards rushed one after another, and the man in black had escaped through the window, leaving only a bloody foot at the door.

In less than half an hour, the three thousand garrisons stationed in the area of Mianchi rushed to Shuangqiao Town, blocked the entire town, and began to search door to door, General Zhao Wenlie personally led people to search, he was very nervous, Wu Youning was assassinated in the jurisdiction he was responsible for, if he could not catch the murderer, he would not be able to explain to the saint.

"Report to the general, I searched all over the place, and I didn't find anything abnormal!" a Lang general reported to him.

"How is it possible, give me a second search, search thoroughly, and don't let go of every corner. Zhao Wenlie couldn't help but roar.

At this time, another of his henchmen pointed to the mountains not far away and whispered, "Behind the inn is a hill, and the assassin must have fled from the mountain forest." ”

Zhao Wenlie looked at the dark mountains and forests behind the inn, he couldn't help but be upset for a while, he knew that the result must be like this, no assassin would be stupid enough to stay and wait for him to search.

He sighed and asked, "How is the situation with King Jianchang?"

"The prince has woken up, and the doctor said that his life can be saved. ”

Zhao Wenlie turned around and walked towards the inn, now he could only beg Wu Youning to say good things to himself.

In the lobby of the inn, Wu Youning had already woken up, his leg was still in severe pain, wrapped in thick gauze, and the guards on both sides were very nervous, this was their dereliction of duty, only caring about their own food, but leaving the master alone in the upstairs room, causing the assassin to succeed.

Wu Youning was very calm, he looked at the thick gauze on his leg in a daze, in this way, he didn't have to worry about anything about the throne, it seems that there has been no crippled emperor since ancient times, although he is missing a foot, but he also saved his life.

At this time, General Zhao Wenlie walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation with Your Highness?"

Wu Youning glanced at him, nodded and said, "It's okay!"

"But who is so ruthless that he wants to assassinate His Highness?"

Wu Youning smiled, "The assassin didn't want to kill me, as long as I cut off a hand or a foot, I feel that the assassin can completely pierce my heart, but he spared my life, this is a good assassin." ”

Zhao Wenlie smiled bitterly, at this time, he still had the heart to praise the murderer's mercy, it was really rare, at this moment, a soldier rushed to report: "General Qiyu, we found more than a dozen people in another inn, all with weapons, bows and crossbows, and night clothes, they said that they were from Liang Wangfu, just passing by here." ”

Zhao Wenlie was stunned for a moment, the people of Liang Wangfu, could it be that the assassin was sent by Liang Wangwu Sansi?

He looked at Wu Youning uneasily, but Wu Youning smiled faintly and said, "His Royal Highness King Liang obviously wants to greet me as well, but I can be sure that the people who assassinated me have nothing to do with them, they are just a step late." ”

Zhao Wenlie's head grew bigger, and he found himself involved in the struggle between the powerful, what should he do?

Wu Youning smiled and said: "General Zhao just write the report truthfully, I will say a few fair words for General Zhao, this matter really has nothing to do with General Zhao, as for His Royal Highness King Liang's people, you don't have any evidence that they are assassins, then let them go, so as not to offend King Liang, isn't it?"

Zhao Wenlie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice: "Thank you Your Highness for your tolerance!"

Wu Youning closed his eyes, in fact, he had already vaguely guessed who sent the assassin to assassinate him so leniently, who else but her? It seems that there are really many people who want to kill themselves, not only enemies, but also their own people, this crown prince's position! What a big turmoil it has caused

Wu Youning was stabbed in Michi and was seriously injured, which did not cause much repercussions in the government and the opposition, after all, the news that Wu Youning was going to be crowned King Yan had not yet spread, and everyone did not realize the fierce struggle contained in it.

But for insiders, this is a thunderous news, some people are angry, some people are secretly happy, but some people are uneasy, for Li Zhen, this is an expected thing, Wu Youning was named the prince, Wu Sansi was the most nervous.

In the morning, Li Zhen was handling a bunch of military affairs in his official room, and Jiu Zhi ran in from outside, "Lao Li, tell you a news." ”

Li Zhen glared at him, "What should you call me?"

Jiuzhi was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Report to the general, there is a report on the situation." ”

The guards below all turned their faces and held back the smile on their faces, and Li Zhen said lightly: "Say, what's the matter?"

Jiu Zhi's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "I just got the news that Wu Sansi was summoned by the Holy Lord to scold him, and ordered to be beaten with fifty sticks, which is really damn relieved, but I don't know why?"

Li Zhen sneered, "Fortunately, it wasn't the people he sent to assassinate Wu Youning, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as fifty sticks, and his life would not be guaranteed." ”

"Oh-"

Jiuzhi scratched the back of his head, and said with admiration on his face: "How can the general know so clearly?"

"Who is as stupid as you, you don't know why, you don't care about this kind of thing, you can't sleep well if you know too much, go ahead!"

Jiu Zhi laughed dryly twice and walked away, but Li Zhen fell into deep thought, this assassination case was very weird, Wu Youning's left foot was beheaded, and he lost his career, but Wu Sansi was carried by the black cauldron, this person was very scheming, and obviously used Wu Sansi.

At this time, a soldier reported at the door: "General, General Zhang of the internal guard asks to see you!"

"Let him in!"

After a while, Zhang Li walked in quickly, and he said to several pro-soldiers: "I have important matters with your general, you should retreat for a while!"

Everyone knew the relationship between Zhang Li and their general, and everyone retreated, and Li Zhen also found that Zhang Li's expression was a little unnatural, so he asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Li sat down and said coldly: "You did the assassination in Michi!"

Li Zhen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that he thought that the assassination of Michi was done by himself, Li Zhen shook his head and said: "How can you think that I did it, if it were me, would I spare his life?"

"Not necessarily, maybe you'll be looking at my face. ”

"You underestimate me too much, I haven't done this kind of thing for eight years, and killing Zhang Jingxiong back then was also a fake hand, I really don't understand, there are so many people who want to kill him, but you blame me on my head, what is the reason?"

"Not many people know about it. ”

"Wu Sansi knows, did you tell him? Princess Taiping also knows, will she do it? There are two more Zhang, do you think they don't know?"

Zhang Li was a little hesitant, he heard the news of Wu Youning's assassination, and thought that it would be Li Zhen's hand, so he was angry for a while, and now that he calmed down, he also felt that his idea was a little ridiculous, Zhang Li immediately apologized sincerely, "This is because I am a little confused, I apologize to you." ”

Originally, Li Zhen was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, Zhang Li actually denounced himself for Wu Youning, but it's right to think about it, Zhang Li is different from Jiuzhi, he has his own independent connections and ambitions, and he also has his own political direction, he is willing to marry Wu Youning, which also shows that he recognizes the Wu family to a certain extent, and there is no need to tie him to himself.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen's heart also brightened, and he calmly accepted Zhang Li's apology, and he smiled slightly: "Who do you think will be responsible for this assassination case?" r1148
