At this time, there were more than 30 Jin Wuwei wearing Mingguang armor and spears in the Mingde Gate of Buzheng Fang, and the fierce murderous aura came to the face.

Xu You, the new captain of the city gate, was ordered to be in danger, and he couldn't help but be surprised to see that his commander was willing to follow behind a young man.

In order to facilitate the entry of the six clans in Ping'anfang, the three of Shang Qing were all wearing ordinary private clothes with narrow sleeves and narrow sleeves, one was Wei Qiansi's right commander Dian Kui, and the other was Jin Wuwei's right lieutenant general Zheng Kaifeng.

Dian Kui's injuries were not healed, Xu Ji had to protect the saint again, and the second assistant Liu Xiao He Si thought about it, and finally decided to go to the Privy Council, so the Privy Council assigned Jin Wuwei Zhonglang to Zheng Kaifeng to assist.

First, because Zheng Kaifeng was born in the Zheng family, and Zheng Kaifeng led the way, and the other five surnames would not refute face; Second, it is also because of his extraordinary martial arts skills, which can help.

Xu You hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said respectfully: "General Zheng, why are you here?" ”

Zheng Kaifeng waved his hand and said directly: "Busy with you, this is Shang Qing, the demon hunter in charge of investigating the case, who came to check the secret door on the door." ”

As Zheng Kaifeng, who was born in the Zheng family, and served as the general of Jinwuwei Zhonglang who guarded the imperial city, in fact, he looked down on Shang Qing who was born as a commoner in his heart, but when Qin Zhuguo of the Privy Council spoke, he could only bear it helplessly.

The two doors of the Mingde Gate are made of iron birch, and a lot of copper nails and copper bars are installed on the surface.

The Yujing Craftsman Governor's Office is in charge of hundreds of thousands of skilled craftsmen in the world, involving all walks of life, and it is very difficult to find this person out of hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time, and Shang Qing quickly ruled out this method.

However, he still asked: "Captain Diandu, has anything unusual happened to the Yujing Minjiang Governor's Mansion?" Let's say someone suddenly disappears. ”

Dian Kui was stunned and didn't react for a while.

"General Zheng, how long do you think it will take to transform this secret door on the Fang Gate?" Shang Qing asked again.

Zheng Kaifeng turned his face to the side and did not answer, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"Two adults, Gu Baimen has been plotting for many years, and obviously has a very strict plan, and I don't know how many helpers there are in Yujing City!" Seeing this, Shang Qing forcibly held back the smugness on his face and sighed deeply.

Dian Kui suddenly beckoned, and out of nowhere, a capable man suddenly appeared, he whispered in the man's ear for a moment, and the capable man quickly disappeared.

Shang Qing stepped forward, entered the door, and walked more than 100 steps to the wall.

There were a few broken bricks scattered on the ground, and the walls were so narrow that only one person could pass through them.

Not far from the wall, is the residence of the former cabinet assistant minister He Cizhang, who believed in Buddhism during his lifetime.

Now this mansion is inhabited by Lu Baixiang, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet of the current dynasty.

The three of them passed through the sandwich wall in turn, and at the end was a gourd temple that had been abandoned for many years, because of the establishment of the Wuxiang Temple outside the city, all the monks in the Yujing City were included in the Wuxiang Temple.

Shang Qing and the three of them entered the main hall from a secret door behind the temple, and some broken cobwebs could be seen inside, and the surrounding was dilapidated, and even the Buddha statues were destroyed by someone, and the whole hall looked gloomy.

Out of the main hall, there was a small courtyard with weeds and barrenness, the weeds had been trampled on last night, and a few of them were still holding their heads high.

One hall, one courtyard, one Buddha statue, plus one old and one young monk, this is the former gourd temple. Now the monks are gone, the Buddha statues are destroyed, the main hall is crumbling, the small courtyard is occupied by weeds, and things are not human, and they can't escape the torrent of time.

In front of the gourd temple is the canal, the ferry port where the boats come and go is still there, but the moss marks are green on the steps, the canal water is cold and cold, and the courtyard is left with flowers.

The Tongtian Canal originates from the Hongqing Lake of the Imperial City, passes through Buzheng Fang, Yanshou Fang, and Heshan Fang, and joins the Ming and Qing Canals at Taipingfang, passes through the inner city, goes out of the outer city, merges into the moat from the West Land Gate, and then enters the Canglan River, and finally converges in the eastern sea area.

The three of them stood by the ferry, and Dian Kui spoke first: "The thief girl went down the canal from here last night and finally disappeared. ”

Shang Qing reviewed the assassination in his mind: they first used the explosion of the flower boat to blow open the Chengtian Gate, and the killers hidden in the crowd took advantage of the chaos to rush into the gate, and then boarded the city gate; 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' carried dozens of female killers to attack from the air outside the city, and joined the killers inside and outside the city.

The moon sacrifice ceremony can climb the city wall to accompany the saint, obviously the status will not be low, just from the purple robes can be seen, all of them are high-ranking officials above the third grade. Coupled with the concubines of the harem and the royal family, this is almost the top group of people at the peak of Daqian's power.

If an accident happens to these people, the whole sky will fall, and the fortunes of the country will inevitably suffer.

Of course, if these killers alone can succeed, it will undoubtedly be the best result, but it is obvious that the imperial court is fully prepared, and Qi Shang's real net is already tightening step by step.

The imperial court first arranged a large number of Jin Wuwei in the Chengtian Gate, just waiting for the king to enter the urn and catch turtles in the urn; Then there were hundreds of archers and more than 20 third-class worshippers hidden on the castle tower to protect the safety of the saints.

The killers were the first wave of attacks arranged by Gu Baimen, and the result ended in failure, of course, this may also be expected by Gu Baimen, so in the end, Chen Qingshu and her carried out the second wave of attacks from Qiongcao Tower.

Gu Baimen, as the sixth woman on the list of golden hairpins in the Red Mansion, was admitted to the Qiongcao Tower by the saint, which was a very good opportunity for Gu Baimen, and it was the icing on the cake in the whole plan.

Chen Qingshu is a foundation building monk and her last hole card. It's just that I didn't expect the two captains of the Wei Qiansi to appear next to the saint, coupled with the action of Nangong Yanjun, the deputy director of the Demon Hunting Division, which ultimately led to the failure of the entire assassination plan.

At this time, the retreat she prepared in advance played a key role, but Chen Qingshu was willing to fight with his life and fought for Gu Baimen to find a way out, resulting in missing the best tracking time.

If nothing else is aside, Gu Baimen's plan to assassinate the saint is really exquisite. The whole plan is precise and rigorous, step by step, and at the same time, it is a step by step killing machine.

Thinking of this, Shang Qing was suspicious: First, there are three forces in Yujing City that cannot be ignored, the first is the national teacher Zhao Fuyao, not to mention that Chen Qingshu is a foundation building monk, even if it is a higher Jindan, it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake under his nose, how can the other party be sure that Zhao Fuyao will not stop it?

The second is Shangguan Jinghong, the master of the Demon Hunting Division, how can the other party be sure that he is not on the city tower tonight? And who learned about the rule that demon hunters can't shoot in the Imperial City? This is a secret decree from the saint to the Demon Hunting Division, Shangguan Jinghong once ordered the division to go up and down, even the pillow person can't say anything about this matter.

In the end, there are the two captains of the Wei Qiansi, although the two are hidden foundation building monks, but they are not impossible to detect. Since the other party is sure to assassinate, it should be sure that the two are not with the saint at this time or one of them is not there, could it be that there is an internal response in the court?

Shang Qing was numb, and the more he analyzed it, the more frightened he became, and sweat was already pouring out of his palms.

He looked up, the rain at the beginning of the morning had long stopped, and the sun was rising in the east at this time.

There was a window on the opposite side that had been propped up, and a slightly immature cheek poked out, and the girl by the window suddenly found that three strange men had appeared in front of the gourd temple, and immediately exclaimed, and quickly pulled out the pole of the window.

Shang Qing looked at the slightly swaying window and was stunned.

Zheng Kaifeng clasped his hands on his belt and tightened his belt tightly: "Lord Shang, how should I start next?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Shang Qing said lightly: "On both sides of the Tongtian Canal, I don't know how many such ferries, but most of them have been eliminated last night, since Lord Lu said that Gu Baimen may still be hiding in Taipingfang, of course he went to Taipingfang." ”

Zheng Kaifeng was puzzled and asked, "Then what are your intentions here?" ”

Shang Qing didn't answer, when he walked out of the gourd temple before, he found that the two doors of the temple had fallen to the ground and cracked into several pieces, and the other was still hanging on the door intact.

So he walked under the temple, stretched out his hand and gently shook the dusty wooden door, and then pinched the edge of the door with five fingers, pulled it hard, and ripped it off.

The three religions of Confucianism and Buddhism are sacred, and their status is transcendent, and their status is hidden above the Humane Dynasty. At the beginning, the Great Qian Sage set up the Demon Hunting Division, vowing to sweep away the demons in the world, which was nothing more than to compete for a trace of luck from Buddhism. Now the demon path is completely hidden, but the demon clan is inexhaustible in wildfire.

Although Buddhism is stationed in the millions of mountains in the south, it has begun to spread the Dharma in the seven countries. Moreover, Daqian borders the southern border, and the border of thirteen prefectures, the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism is unprecedented.

The bold behavior of the two shocked Shang Qing, even if the gourd temple is now dilapidated and has no incense, it is also the territory of Buddhism. If this matter is used by people with ulterior motives, rumors will inevitably fly all over the city at that time.

The two of you look at me, I look at you, and there is disbelief in their eyes.

In the shocked eyes of the two, Shang Qing held a wooden door with one hand, walked on the side of the ferry, threw the wooden door into the canal, and instantly flew countless splashes, the wooden door floated on the canal, Shang Qing exerted force under his feet, jumped up, and landed steadily on the wooden door, the wooden door sank slightly, and slowly moved along the canal.

"General Zheng, in extraordinary times, do extraordinary things, this is what I came here to do."

Dian Kui seemed to understand Shang Qing's intentions, laughed, and then jumped and landed on the wooden door.

Zheng Kaifeng looked at the two people who were gradually moving away, annoyed, and then began to run quickly along the path by the canal.

The window that had been closed was quietly opened, and the girl in the window looked at the young man who stepped on the door on the canal, her eyes were in a daze, and then she reached out and touched the legs that were covered under the satin, and her eyes quickly dimmed, sighed, and silently closed the window.
