Early the next morning, the county magistrate of Wannian County found Wu Shun and told him that the body of the Wu family general had appeared outside the city, and all eight people had been killed.

Wu Shun was shocked, and hurriedly led people to the county government for autopsy, he was not for the death of these eight people, but to retrieve his relics, but in the end the result disappointed him, and the relics were gone.

'Bang!' A porcelain cup slammed on the ground, shards splashed everywhere, Wu Shun was mad with anger, and struggled to knock all the things on the table to the ground, he roared like thunder: "If I find out who it is, I will have to cut him with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in my heart!"

More than a dozen henchmen stood with their hands down, all trembling with fear, and they didn't dare to take a mouthful, they all understood that Wu Shun had worked hard to get the relics, but he was robbed halfway, how could he not be thunderous.

Wu Shun roared for half an hour, until he couldn't stop roaring, he finally calmed down, he sat on the soft couch, staring fiercely at more than a dozen henchmen, someone must have leaked the news, he would be ambushed halfway, and there were ghosts hidden around him.

In the end, his eyes fell on Lan Zhenyu, Wu Shun waved his hand, and ordered everyone to go down, leaving only Lan Zhenyu, Lan Zhenyu's sister was his favorite concubine, making Lan Zhenyu his only trusted confidant.

After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you think about this?"

"Although things are bad, you need to calm down first, things should still be in Chang'an, and you can't run!"

Wu Shun sighed, "How can I calm down, the relics that I got so easily, and finally lost them, and eight Wu family generals died, how can I explain to my father?"

Lan Zhenyu pondered and said, "The only person who knows that the envoy wants to send the relics away is Li Zhen, could it be that he did it?"

"Impossible!"

Wu Shun shook his head and said with certainty: "I have examined the corpses, they were killed by dozens of people, and they were ambushed by dozens of short spears, Li Zhen There are only three of them, and it is the first time to enter Beijing, where to find so many killers, it will not be them, it is someone else, and I know that it is someone from within me who leaked the news to the outside world." ”

The corners of Lan Zhenyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Could it be that Wang Yuanbao counterattacked and took the relics back?"

"Wang Yuanbao wouldn't have such courage, would he dare to kill the generals of the Wu family?"

For example, they kill people and kill people, leaving no evidence, so that the envoy will not be able to catch them killing people. ”

Wu Shun is also an extremely shrewd person, he and the Wang family are known as Chang'an Shuangfu, since the previous generation, they have dealt with each other for decades, and they all know each other better, and he may think that the Wang family did it when he is angry.

But when he calmed down, he knew very well that this was not the Wang family's style of doing things, the Wang family was a businessman, and they would never do this kind of murderous thing and completely offend Wu Chenghei, even in Gaochang, they did not dare to fight with their own people head-on.

"This matter is not the work of the Wang family, it is someone else. ”

Wu Shun walked to the window with his hands in his hands, looked at the sky with gloomy eyes, and said coldly for a while: "There are definitely more than two imperial court forces that want to compete for this relic, this must be another family intervening, you have to use the shortest time to find out who is behind the scenes." ”

"I understand the lowly position, let's go investigate!"

After a pause, Lan Zhenyu asked again: "Li Zhen doesn't seem to be in the Yipin Inn anymore, do you need to find them?"

Wu Shun sneered, "His person is here with me, I don't need you to find it, he will come to the door by himself!"

Lan Zhenyu saluted and retreated, Wu Shun looked at the sky again, gritted his teeth and said, "I have to dig out this inner ghost and cut him with a thousand knives!"

Li Zhen and the three returned to the house in Chongye Fang at dawn, and Kang Sisi finally saw his brother, who hugged his head and cried, describing his feelings of parting.

Li Zhen and Jiuzhi sat in another hut to rest, tasting the tea soup that Sisi had brewed for them, and despite the honey in the tea, they tasted a hint of bitterness.

Especially Li Zhen, who lost twice in a row in a few days, dealt a great blow to his self-confidence, the previous time he fell into a trap because he first arrived in Chang'an, and he didn't understand the situation, and this time, the relics in his hands flew away again, and he couldn't say anything about his bad luck.

It can only be said that his judgment of the shape is still not deep enough, he could not have imagined that a small relic would turn up a big wave, he only then deeply understood Wang Qingyu's words, and he was silent for a while.

"Lao Li, that purple-clothed thief is a woman, do you see it?" Jiu Zhi was slower to respond in other aspects, but he was superior in identifying women.

"I can probably see a little bit of that. ”

The purple-clothed man was wearing a tight-fitting samurai suit, and his slender figure was undoubtedly a woman, and Li Zhen asked again, "Is the injury on your shoulder better?"

Jiuzhi shook his shoulder, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much, he*, that mother-in-law's feet are so heavy, I almost broke my bones." ”

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "And that group of people in black, do you think it's a little familiar?"

At this time, Kang Dazhuang walked into the house, and he continued Li Zhen's words: "They are the Tocharian warriors we met in Gaochang, and I heard them speak, it is Tocharian. ”

Jiu Zhi was stunned, "No, these ghostly guys actually followed us to Chang'an?"

Li Zhen smiled, "I also feel very much like them, and the king whispered to me that King Ah Xuan is also a certain magnate loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and it is not surprising that his subordinates appeared in Chang'an." ”

"But they are Tocharians and make waves in Chang'an, don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?" Jiuzhi still doesn't understand, in Gaochang these people can do anything wrong, but this is Chang'an, they dare to kill people casually, this is a bit too incredible.

"Maybe the forces behind them want to use the Hu people to cover people's eyes!"

Li Zhen sighed and said with a wry smile: "Now the situation has become complicated, there is a force behind the Tocharian warriors, and the purple-clothed man who snatched the shadow relics belongs to another force, plus Wushun and Wang Yuanbao, there are a total of four forces competing for the relics, and the shape is really a bit confusing!"

"Lao Li, what you said I was about to get dizzy, in my opinion, the woman in purple who finally snatched the relic box must have gone to Luoyang, Chang'an is fine, let's not care so much, go and ask Wushun to ask for someone, ask Xiaoxi back, let's slap our butts and leave, no matter how they fight." ”

"You said it simply, why did Wu Shun let Xiao Xi out, he suffered such a big loss, how could he be willing to give up?"

The three of them all fell into deep thought, Li Zhen was right, as long as Xiao Xi was still in Wu Shun's hands, they would never want to get out of this whirlpool

There is a relatively old Buddhist temple outside the Yanxing Gate of Chang'an, called Qinglong Temple, which was built in the era of Emperor Wen of Sui, and the incense was also very prosperous, but with the rise of Xingshan Temple, Ci'en Temple, Xuandu Temple and other Li Tang royal temples and Taoist temples, Qinglong Temple also gradually declined, and the original 3,000 monks in the temple have also been sharply reduced to about 100 people now.

Because Qinglong Temple is close to the city gate, it has also become a gathering place for people from the three religions and nine streams, which is full of all kinds of dangers, and even the head-catching officials of the government do not dare to go there to investigate the case.

There is a vacant land with a radius of about five or six acres outside the side gate of the temple, and the vacant land is full of all kinds of stalls, selling all kinds of strange things, and there are even people here to sell the military crossbows that the imperial court strictly prohibits the people to hold.

In the afternoon, a carriage stopped in front of the open space, Lan Zhenyu, who had changed his clothes, jumped out of the carriage, walked quickly through many stalls, and walked directly into the temple through the side door.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, two swords pressed against his throat, one left and one right, Lan Zhenyu hurriedly raised his hand, "I'm here to see the master!"

At this time, a hoarse voice came from the room, "Let him in!"

The two swords were taken away, Lan Zhenyu tidied up his clothes, and walked into the meditation room quickly, the meditation room was filled with a faint fragrance of fat powder, and there was a monk sitting cross-legged in the middle, because he was covered by the gauze curtain, he couldn't see his appearance and age clearly.

Lan Zhenyu hurriedly knelt down, "Humble and high-ranking monks!"

Suddenly there was a 'snort!' woman chuckle in the room, the monk coughed dryly, and then the laughter disappeared, only to hear the monk's hoarse voice say: "Lan Zhenyu, do you know why I called you?"

"I don't know what I do!"

"Then I'll sue you, the information you provided is good, but last night I missed, and our people didn't get the relics. ”

Lan Zhenyu was startled, and hurriedly said, "I saw the bodies of eight messengers this morning, isn't it?"

"We killed the eight messengers well, but the relics were snatched by someone else, and we were busy last night. ”

Sweat oozed from Lan Zhenyu's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "I don't know who snatched the relics?"

"That's why I'm looking for you, last night in addition to us, there were two other people fighting for the relics, but whose hands the relics ended up in, we don't know, those Tocharian fools are not doing their jobs well, I have punished them heavily, I hope you can use Wu Shun's people to find the relics. ”

"Yes! Lan Zhenyu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The monk in the room said slowly: "Now the chief manager is extremely concerned about this matter, so we must get the relics, Lan Zhenyu, as long as you get this matter done, the chief manager will protect you as General Yulin, and you also know the special relationship between the chief manager and the saint, as long as he speaks, even if you make a great general, it will be easy." ”

"Thank you, Master, for your support, the Humble Priesthood will do everything in its power to find the relics. ”

"Go! I'm going to rest. ”

Lan Zhenyu kowtowed, got up and retreated, faintly hearing the laughter of a woman coming from inside, and he cursed secretly in his heart, 'Fake bald donkey!'

He had already guessed that one of the two people fighting must be Li Zhen, and he had to find Li Zhen as much as he could.
