The news of Gu Zuo's assassination soon spread to Chang'an, and all parties involved had already received the news, which was varied, making people from all sides panic.

Maybe only the Son of Heaven doesn't know, and the words in the palace have been banned by Gao Lishi.

At this moment, the Xihe Road Pavilion is like a great enemy, and the female cultivators in the hall are all dressed in strong clothes, wearing magic armor, holding magic weapons, and guarding the eaves and roof.

There are also more than 20 monks of the Huayue Daoist Hall, under the leadership of Deacon Gu, several sentry posts were set up in the front and back of the courtyard to cover the Xihe Daoist Pavilion tightly and impermeable.

If it weren't for Gu Zuo's repeated emphasis on not ruining the plan, Li Twelve would not have gone to Furong Garden a long time ago, and tomorrow night's neon dress and feather dance would be the first big performance, if she didn't go, Niangniang would really know.

Not only did he have to go, but he also had to pretend to go as if nothing happened, and as for the burden of guarding the entire Xihe Road Pavilion, it was handed over to Tang Hongyu and Zhang Fugui and his wife.

The two of them originally wanted to go to the Ten Kings' Mansion to arrest Tang Songyuan immediately, but they were stopped by Gu Zuo, when Gu Zuo was in a coma and recuperating from his injuries, Tang Songyuan and the others were going to run early, where was there time at this time?

Rather than wasting your efforts, it is better to take advantage of this more and seek greater dominance.

Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli came to visit in person, glanced at Gu Zuo through the window, and were invited out.

Mrs. Yu Guo entered the second gate, only served a cup of tea, and didn't even see Gu Zuo's face, which made Yang Guozhong very nervous.

However, Yang Guozhong's heart quickly let go again, because the prince sent Li Fuguo and Yuan Zai to inquire, but they were directly blocked and did not even enter the gate.

On the same day, the gossip became more and more outrageous, and various versions were derived about Gu Zuo's assassination.

It is said that it was an assassin sent by An Lushan to prevent the army of Jiannan and Nanzhao from entering King Qin.

It is said that Yang Guozhong moved his hand, just because Mrs. Qiu Guo was played with by Gu Zuo.

It is said that it is the prince's conspiracy to blame Yang Guozhong.

Others say that the assassins are not interested in revenge against the bereaved party.

Some people even swore that it was Gu Zuo's mayor Shi Mi who entered Chang'an, violated the rules of the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven was convicted, and he was besieged by a master dispatched by the Criminal Department......

In the evening, the Longwu army began to assemble in Xiudefang outside the Beigong Gate, Chen Xuanli personally controlled the Xuanwu Gate, and the Yulin general Wang Chengye was lifted down by Gao Lishi from the bed with his ears, and barely gathered the only 1,500 soldiers of the Yulin Army to assist in guarding the Guanghua Gate.

The left and right Xiaowei and the left and right military guards of the Nanya also distributed military blades and armor, which were led by Ge Shuhan and Guo Ziyi respectively, and the hedgehogs were gathered inside the Mingde Gate and outside the Suzaku Gate; Li Guangbi led the left guard with 1,000 soldiers stationed around the Prime Minister's Mansion to protect Yang Guozhong.

Li Fuguo mobilized more than 300 guests and friends of the prince to guard the Ten Princes' Mansion, and he didn't know who to guard against.

For a time, there was tension in Chang'an City, and the situation was extremely critical.

At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Qiu, Mrs. Han, and Yang Guozhong's wife Pei Rou gathered together and sat around Yang Guozhong.

Mrs. Han's face turned pale and cried: "The eldest sister has just passed away, they dare to treat me like this to the Yang family, I want to enter the palace, I want to go to Your Majesty......"

Pei Rou persuaded: "The details are not yet known, everyone is just protecting themselves, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Han pointed at Mrs. Yu Guo with tears: "Third sister, did you seduce Gu Zuo and cause trouble?"

Mrs. Yu Guo looked calm and said: "Do you also believe these rumors? Don't mess with yourself! It's just a death, our Yang family has been prosperous for all these years, and we are also content." Besides, it is not yet known who killed the deer, so what are you worried about?"

Hearing the sentence "left and right are only one death", Mrs. Han cried even more, and said to Yang Guozhong: "Otherwise, what are you going to do to assassinate Gu Zuo?"

Yang Guozhong took a few shots and said angrily: "What nonsense is you? Shut up!"

When he was crying, the housekeeper announced: "King Changling of Jiangning County asks to see him." ”

Yang Guozhong said impatiently: "No, no, no, at this time, where is the time?"

Mrs. Yu Guo stopped the housekeeper: "Wait, what is the matter with him?"

The housekeeper said: "Wang Xiancheng said that he was sent by King Qi......"

Yang Guozhong picked up the cups on a few cases and threw them over, smashing them on the butler's forehead, and his head was bleeding suddenly, and he said angrily: "Stupid!

After the housekeeper covered his scalp and went down, Yang Guozhong was puzzled again: "How did Wang Shaobo become the person of King Qi?"

Mrs. Yu Guo said: "He likes music and poetry, and often goes to the gate of King Qi. ”

Wang Changling entered the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion and met Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong asked, "What do you mean by the young uncle?"

Wang Changling replied: "King Qi sent people to ask Jiangning County, why did the city move troops? Why were the gates of Yanxing, Chunming, and Tonghua unguarded and empty? The lower officials could not answer, so they could only take the liberty to come to see Xiangguo. ”

Yang Guozhong sighed: "I don't know what is going on, the Longwu Army and the Yulin Army have moved, and the Prime Minister has to take precautions, there are not many soldiers in Beijing who can fight, and I can't take care of a few city gates." The young uncle can go to Xuanwu Gate and ask Gao and Chen what they want. ”

Wang Changling had no choice but to go to the north of the city, and met Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli, who replied that Shi Guzuo, the governor of Southern Wu, was assassinated last night, and the situation in Beijing was unknown, so he transferred troops to guard against anyone.

Fortunately, there was a major assassination case in Beijing, so the reply of the troops, Wang Changling went to King Qi's house to reply, and met Du Fu on the way.

Du Fu asked: "Where is the young uncle going? Chang'an is not quiet tonight, so let's go home and hide." ”

Wang Changling said: "Isn't Zimei also running outside?"

Du Fu said: "I went to visit Gu Changshi, and I just came back. ”

Wang Changling hurriedly asked: "How is Gu Changshi? Sure enough, he was assassinated, and was he seriously injured?"

Du Fu shook his head: "I haven't seen it either, the Xihe Road Pavilion is heavily guarded and won't let you in." ”

The two of them talked on the side of the road, they were both subordinates, they knew very little, they couldn't understand the current situation, and King Qi Suri didn't interfere in the government, and the house was singing and dancing every day.

Wang Changling also asked: "Gu Changshi is indeed a high and powerful person, but he is the chief of the Southern Zhao Dynasty, and his soldiers and horses are all in the south, and the capital is important, so why is this so? It is true that being assassinated on the street is sensational and can be called a big case, but if it is enough to let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple investigate and deal with it, how can he reach the point of mobilizing troops?"

Du Fu shook his head and said, "How do I know? What the hell is going on above, everyone is confused...... There is no way to serve the country......"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a boiling noise at the end of the street to the west, and many people were running in all directions, shouting and screaming.

Soon, I saw the merchants running over with their burdens, and when they passed by Du Fu and Wang Changling, soup cakes, tea eggs, and sugar gourds fell to the ground, and there were even the sounds of chickens and dogs jumping, and the sound of every house closing the door......

Du Fu grabbed a splash: "What's wrong?"

The pimp struggled and exclaimed, "Great army!
