Chapter 220: Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword
"It's a tiger talisman?
When the assassins saw the Tiger Talisman appear, they couldn't help but feel the impulse in their hearts, and they jumped towards the Tiger Talisman and grabbed it.
Gundam's eyes widened, like a tiger, and he shouted, "How dare a thief?" With all the true elements in his palms, he slapped towards the remaining two assassins, and with a "poof" his chest sank and fell to the ground.
Looking at the lying corpse, Jia seemed to be able to catch his breath for a while.
In the distance, Lu Wende, who was patrolling, also noticed the movement here, and hurriedly led his men and horses to come.
After seeing that Jia Yidao was safe and sound, Lu Wende breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is General Gundam guarding it, otherwise it would have been terrible today." β
"Indeed, if it weren't for the protection of General Gundam, I'm afraid I would have died in Huangquan long ago. β
Jia Rudao looked happy, and when he saw the tiger talisman that fell to the ground, he quickly picked it up and wiped it carefully to ensure that it was safe before he could feel at ease.
It's just that he was worried in his heart, and secretly thought: "Now that someone has found a trace, if you want to leave safely, I'm afraid it's impossible." Looks like I'm going to need to re-timing. "For the changes in Lin'an, Jia Rudao cares very much, and naturally he is unwilling to continue to stay here, but looking at today's situation, he can't leave.
"Prime Minister, since the Mongols have sent assassins, they are afraid that they can attack at another day, so the general will take his leave. After all, there are still five people in the city, and I urgently need to go back to defend it!"
Concerned about the safety of the castle, Gundam said goodbye to Jia Rudao, and then left the place and re-entered the castle, at this moment the enemy could attack at any time and place, so it was natural to be fully prepared
Seeing the corpses of several assassins lying on the ground, Lu Wende asked, "What about the prime minister, what about this assassin? They can sneak into the city, I think there must be someone secretly supporting, why don't you leave this matter to the last general to deal with?"
"In that case, then I'll leave this matter to you. β
Jia Rudao replied, his face was indifferent, as if he had lost his mind, and returned to the mansion in a daze, very scared in his heart, for fear that Zhao Xibo would secretly manipulate and completely ruin his career.
Lu Wende saw in his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the herald was about to leave, but he stepped forward, stopped him, and asked, "I see that you are very strange, could it be that you are here for the first time?
The herald was puzzled, shook his head and replied, "This is something that subordinates have been ordered to do, and they must not tell others easily. β
"I'm a close confidant of the prime minister, but I'm not an outsider. Lu Wende took a silver ingot from his sleeve and put it in the herald's hand. When the herald saw this silver ingot, he immediately showed a little smile, and immediately told all the things in Lin'an.
After hearing this, Lu Wende was immediately overjoyed, but he thought: "It turns out that these things have happened in Lin'an? It seems that today, my opportunity has finally come." β
Thinking silently about all this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and he began to plan what would happen in his heart.
In the mansion, Jia Rudao was still frowning, but he was thinking hard about what method he should take to return to Chang'an City, if he left here for no reason, he was afraid that he would have to be impeached by those ministers.
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock at the door.
Jia Rudao opened his mouth and asked, "Who is it?"
"Prime Minister Qiqi, it's me!" Pushing open the door, Lu Wende walked into the mansion.
Jia Yidao was a little strange and asked, "It's you, what are you looking for me?"
"Prime Minister. Have you forgotten the task you gave me?" Lu Wende replied.
"Mission? Jia Rudao was a little unclear, and he didn't remember anything else about what happened before, except for being frightened.
Lu Wende replied, "It's about the assassins." β
"Assassins?" Jia Rudao was immediately annoyed, and shouted in a low voice: "These assassins are really hateful, they actually want to kill me to go to the Tiger Fu? If it weren't for my life, I'm afraid that I would have died under the other party's sword a long time ago." Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful, he didn't work hard to cultivate when he was young, so that his martial arts are not very good now, and he has not been able to really play the effect of the tiger talisman.
This tiger talisman is the condensation and formation of the Great Song Dynasty's military qi, which can not only become a great help for the master, but also help the user to cultivate and improve.
But Zhao Yun was afraid that the people under his command would become bigger, so he rarely gave the tiger talisman to others, and kept it in the Chengtian Palace.
Lu Wende said with a smile: "Prime Minister, don't hide it. The assassin, the last general, already has an eyebrow. β
"Who is it?" Jia Rudao asked anxiously.
Lu Wende replied: "Of course. It's just that the prime minister must not be cautious, otherwise he will have to follow the other party's way. After all, this person is also extraordinary in our army, and if he knows about it, I am afraid that he will deny it. β
"Who is it?" Jia Yidao was slightly nervous and continued to ask.
"Prime Minister don't worry for the time being, I've already determined that person, but it's just because of the other party's eyeliner, so it's hard to say now. Lu Wende replied: "It's just the prime minister." This matter needs to be kept secret, otherwise it will be discovered by that person, and it will be terrible. If he is in trouble then. Prime Minister, do you think you can stop it?"
"Well, then according to your words. Jia Rudao opened his mouth to complain.
Although it was not explicitly stated, when the two of them met their eyes, they were already convinced of each other's affairs, and then they just waited quietly for that person to enter the trap.
Gundam was unaware of all this, and continued to patrol the castle.
And on the second day, Naja Rudao suddenly announced that a meeting would be held, and all the generals must be present, and it would be difficult for Gundam to retreat, so naturally he could only be present.
However, when he stood under the martial arts hall, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and all the generals were staring at him, which made Gundam feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Prime Minister, dare to ask what happened to bring us together?" Gouda Lang asked.
Lu Wende replied: "It's about those spies." You also know that at that time, those assassins suddenly appeared, and if it wasn't for the general's timely action, I was afraid that the prime minister would be killed, and even the tiger talisman might fall into the hands of the other party. If we don't find out who is behind it, I'm afraid we will continue to be in danger. β
"Guarding the safety of the prime minister and ensuring the safety of the city is the duty of the general, and there is nothing to worry about. Gundam patted his chest and replied, still happy, unaware that he had fallen into the enemy's trap.
Jia Rudao smiled: "That's right. That's why I announced this meeting in order to find out the man. Otherwise, it's too dangerous. β
"Of course. It's just the prime minister, who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Gundam continued.
Lu Wende shook his head lightly, didn't say anything in his mouth, and looked at Gundam quietly. Gundam felt strange and asked in a low voice, "I asked you who is behind the scenes, what do you see me doing?" Then he suddenly realized, his face instantly became ugly, and he shouted in a low voice: "Could it be that you suspect me?"
"General, it's not that I don't want to, but I found these things from those spies. It's also this thing that I can't stop suspecting you. Lu Wende said with a look of pity, and then took out a few bloodstained letters from his chest.
Gouda was annoyed for a moment and whispered, "Envelope, I don't remember what I wrote!"
"Alas, General, every man denies his sins, and you are no exception. Lu Wende shook his head, as if he had already been convicted, and he opened his mouth to explain: "And on this envelope, I found your handwriting. So saying, he put the letters into the hands of the people, that they might also see what was going on.
Gundam was also surprised, and walked forward to see the letters, and looked down at them and felt strange: "This handwriting is indeed written by me, but the content on it can never be written by me." β
"General......
The long voice was still sneering, and Lu Wende was already sure that the other party was the one behind the scenes.
"Do you plan to continue to deceive people now?"
"How can I admit what I didn't do?" Gundam immediately shouted, looking at Lu Wende's eyes, also with a little dissatisfaction.
He had worked with Lu Wende before, and naturally knew that although he was brave at the moment, he was accustomed to using treacherous means to overthrow the enemy, and even mixed with traitors such as Ding Daquan and Jia Yidao.
Raising his head, Gundam looked at Jia Yidao, and shouted again: "Prime Minister, is it possible that you really believe this kid's words?"
"Now the evidence is conclusive, and I have to believe it. Jia Rudao shook his head, and his expression was always closed, not showing any attitude.
Gundam snorted lightly, full of disdain for Lu Wende in the distance, and asked again: "Very good." If I did it, can you tell me why I did it?"
"It's very simple, for the sake of the Tiger Talisman. Lu Wende said with a smile.
Gao Gao scolded: "Tiger talisman, let's not mention that the tiger talisman was given by His Royal Highness himself, and others can't use it at all." And even if I succeed, how can I use the Tiger Talisman? If you want to frame me, you have to at least come up with a suitable method. β
"Hmph. Your purpose is indeed the Tiger Talisman, but the purpose of those Assassins is not necessarily the Tiger Talisman. Lu Wende elaborated, his words were quite rhythmic, and it was easy to bring everyone into the story: "Because as long as the prime minister is dead." As a deputy, you will naturally be promoted to commander-in-chief by the official family. When the time comes, of course, you can also get the Tiger Talisman in the name of it, right?"
Gundam scoffed and scolded back: "Nonsense!"
Not to mention that Zhao Yun would elevate himself as he wished, the power of the Tiger Talisman alone was not something that ordinary people could bear, so why would he risk using the power in it?
Lu Wende replied: "No matter how you justify, you can't get rid of these letters. β
"So are you going to use lynching? Don't forget, I am also the commander of the official family, and if you want to take away my official position, you have to come to the official family, and you alone will not be afraid. Gundam's eyes widened angrily, and he was really disappointed in the person in front of him: "What's more, the source of your letter is unknown, but I am afraid that someone else forged it." And just a few letters are like putting me to death? Are you naΓ―ve?"
