At present, the boatman is still in danger after being seriously injured, and he will definitely not be able to move during this period.

And Morrowind had just lost a lot of blood, and they couldn't move for the time being.

The woodcutter had to stay behind to take care of the boatman's injuries.

Therefore, the task of returning to Datang to inform Li Zhi to start the operation could only be handed over to the coachman.

After listening to the woodcutter's words, the coachman glanced at a few people with a little worry.

I only heard him speak: "This place is not far from Zhancheng, and the other party may send troops to search at any time."

If the younger brother leaves a few brothers at this time, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with, right? ”

The woodcutter said: "Brother doesn't need to worry about our safety, the most important thing at the moment is to inform His Highness to act as soon as possible."

Otherwise, if Na Lei Tong sends someone to inform all the forces in Datang, I am afraid that our previous efforts will be wasted. ”

After hearing this, the coachman nodded and said, "In this case, the younger brother will return to Datang first."

If there is an opportunity, the younger brother will definitely bring someone to greet the brothers. ”

After saying this, he arched his hand at the crowd.

Then, under the eyes of several people, he walked all the way along the edge of the mountain range in the direction of Datang.

At this time, the sky is already bright, and if the driver rides a horse, he will definitely not be able to pass the layers of checkpoints along the way.

So he simply chose to walk along the mountain road.

Li Zhi didn't know anything about the situation on the side of several people, but his heart couldn't calm down at all.

Just when he was busy arranging the anti-smuggling operation on the Lingnan side, a piece of information sent by Zhai Changsun surprised him.

Zhang Xuansu and Yu Zhining were assassinated within a few days.

Among them, Zhang Xuansu was seriously injured by someone on the way back to his home from the Prince's Mansion.

And Yu Zhining was lucky to brush shoulders with death when he was sleeping in his own home.

Not long after Li Zhi arrived in Guangzhou, Li Chengqian finally completed all the preparations before he started.

So in the following period of time, Li Chengqian rarely did anything out of the ordinary.

He not only attended the three-day court meeting on time, but also took the initiative to ask Zhang Xuansu and Yu Zhining for advice.

In addition, he also expressed his repentance for the nonsense during this period in front of Li Shimin.

And I hope that Zhang Xuansu and Yu Zhining will be more strict with themselves in the future.

After this set, not only Li Shimin was greatly satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance.

Even Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu were a lot kinder to him.

So just a month later, Li Chengqian finally felt that the time was ripe, so he arranged for a private slave to be secretly raised to intercept and kill Zhang Xuansu on the way.

Zhang Xuansu has a very high IQ, but his EQ is really unflattering.

He was not only strict with Li Chengqian, but also often criticized Li Shimin and other ministers of the DPRK and China in person.

The main thing is that the man seems to be like a humanoid machine, and few people seem to be able to see the expression change on his face.

No one had ever heard him become agitated when he was debating.

The reason why he was seriously injured by a house slave this time was actually related to his rigidity.

Since the cement road was built in this Chang'an city, Li Zhi improved the carriage.

Almost all officials above the fifth rank in the DPRK and China began to travel in horse-drawn carriages.

Zhang Xuansu was the only one who insisted on riding horses, but also claimed that the officials who had begun to ride in carriages had lost their masculinity.

When his words first came out, they embarrassed many officials in the DPRK and China for a long time.

However, this time, the private slave sent by Li Chengqian caught Zhang Xuansu's characteristic of liking to ride a horse.

The moment he passed by Zhang Xuansu, he directly slashed Zhang Xuansu's back with a big knife hidden in advance.

"Ahh Zhang Xuansu, who was caught off guard, suddenly let out a miserable scream.

However, his next operation was completely different from ordinary people.

If an ordinary person has an injury to his back, he will definitely straighten his body as soon as possible.

However, Zhang Xuansu, who had never had any training, actually lay directly on the horse's back while screaming.

Not only that, but he also slapped the horse under him vigorously while lying down.

It was precisely because his move was so unexpected that the second sword of the slave actually failed.

And when the third knife of the private slave fell on Zhang Xuansu again, the horse under him had actually been fully activated.

So the private slave no longer had a chance to use the knife, he could only watch Zhang Xuansu ride a horse and disappear in front of him.

Seeing that he failed to kill Zhang Xuansu on the spot, this private slave suddenly showed a strong will to die in his eyes.

I saw him raise the steel knife in his hand and wipe it against his neck.

Li Chengqian promised him that if he could kill Zhang Xuansu on the spot and get the head, he would get a reward of 100,000 yuan.

And if his actions fail, then he can only exchange his death for the lives of his family.

The assassination of Zhang Xuansu, the prince's right concubine, on the way home was like throwing a boulder into the calm waters of the lake.

"Li Zhe, how did you become the governor of Yongzhou? King Jin has just left for a few days to be able to happen in Chang'an City? ”

Li Chengqian began to attack Li Zhe as soon as possible at the court meeting the next morning.

In fact, he already knew about the failed assassination last night, and even went to Datang Medical College to visit Zhang Xuansu in person.

The reason why he was so eager at this time was to express his dissatisfaction with this matter to all the ministers.

After all, Zhang Xuansu is Li Chengqian's teacher, and it is a little unreasonable for him to speak after others.

Li Zhe, who had not slept all night, couldn't say anything after listening to Li Chengqian's accusations.

He had personally surveyed the scene last night, and had found nothing other than the dead slave.

That steel knife was not a standard weapon of the Tang Dynasty, but an ordinary commodity purchased arbitrarily in the market.

Even many traders will buy one for self-defense.

This kind of knife is not impossible to use to cut people, but it is difficult to kill people with a single blow unless it hits the neck and other vital points.

Zhang Xuansu was able to survive the catastrophe without dying, thanks to the fact that the other party used this kind of broken knife.

If it is replaced by today's Tang Hengdao, I am afraid that with just one click, Zhang Xuansu will have been split in half.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also gloomy at this time.

Although he never opened his mouth to criticize Li Zhe, he was not angry when he looked at him.

When Li Zhi was in Chang'an, the city of Chang'an had experienced the prolonged and chaotic period of Fang City, and there had never been such a major event.

Now, less than four months after Li Zhi left, a dignified four-grade member was actually assassinated on the way home.

If this continues, if the affairs of Guangzhou City cannot be resolved as soon as possible, won't there be an accident in Chang'an City?
