Just now, every word spoken by Chen Changhe and Haier fell into the ears of Ning Jingrong and Zhou Hong. Ning Jingrong had already guessed the purpose of His Highness, but Zhou Hong was the only one who didn't know the reason and couldn't help but look nervous.
.
He looked at the closed doors and windows, turned his head and whispered to Chen Chang: "Your Highness, do you suspect that there is an assassin around us?"
Chen Chang did not reply.
Zhou Hong added: "Those guards and soldiers followed the general to fight out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, so they should be trustworthy. Oh, if His Highness is sure who is the betrayer for glory, the general will go and skin him right away and whip him.
It broke his muscles!"
Chen Chang waved his hand: "It's not that Gu doesn't believe you and your men. In fact, you should know that what Gu is most worried about is not these assassins hiding in the dark, but..."
Having said this, I stopped talking and looked outside.
Zhou Hong suddenly realized: "Your Highness wants the back beam guards to contain those outside... Hehe, Your Highness really has a clever plan. I, Old Zhou, can never think of such a method."
Chen Chang's bodyguard is now divided into three parts. One is Zhou Hongji's subordinates. It is understandable that these people are loyal and brave, but their number is small.
The second is Hou Andu, Liu Ming's direct descendant, whose number is more than ten times that of Zhou Hong and others. These soldiers only obey the orders of Hou Andu and Liu Ming.
The third is the guards of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Although these people are extremely powerful, they are always on the outside for protection and cannot deal with assassins' personal assassinations.
In fact, Chen Chang was not injured. He deliberately showed the injury to He Haier, which only aggravated the seriousness of the assassination incident, made Xiao Jin pay more attention to it, and increased the possibility of sending guards to protect Chen Chang.
It can be said that the story followed Hou Andu's intention at the beginning. It was his idea to fake the injury. His purpose was to put pressure on the Later Liang court and force them to dig out the mastermind behind the assassin and the eyes and ears lurking in the dark. These people were not only
It threatens Chen Chang's safety and is also a disadvantage to him. After all, the momentum has almost been built.
Of course, he believed that even the intervention of the West City Defense Chief and the waiting officer would not have any results in the short term, and this period of time was enough for him.
However, Chen Chang added his own drama in the middle, which Hou An never thought of.
Soon, Hou Andu, Cai Daye, and Liu Ming came to report that the monks' review had results.
According to Liu Ming, the monk who appeared in the secret passage was named Huiyuan and had been a monk in Tiefo Temple for five years. The monk hiding on the big tree outside the Sutra Pavilion was a wandering monk who came to stay yesterday evening. His name was Huiyuan.
Jingkong... Under Liu Ming's statement, the entire process of this assassination incident has been revealed.
Huiyuan is the spy hidden in Tiefo Temple, while Jingkong came with a mission. It was he who informed Huiyuan to carry out the assassination of Chen Chang.
War broke out frequently between the north and the south in the Wei, Jin and Jin Dynasties. It is not surprising that there are secret rooms for storing scriptures and secret passages for monks to escape in temples. Huiyuan has been responsible for cleaning the Scripture Pavilion in Tiefo Temple and is one of the few people in the temple who knows where the secret passages are.
One of the monks.
Liu Ming was also surprised at first. How could so many assassins hide from the eyes of the monks and lurk in the secret room?
Later, after asking Xu Yun, I learned the truth. It turned out that the secret passage was not sealed, but there was another exit in an abandoned well outside the temple, and the mechanism was very hidden when opened. However, Liu Ming was too impatient at the time, and
Not found.
Two fake monks set fire to the kitchen and caused chaos, and the assassins took the opportunity to rush out of the secret passage.
Hou Andu looked gloomy: "In this way, the assassin's matter is clear. There are just a few more questions. One is why Huiyuan died in the secret room?"
Liu Ming scratched his head: "This is also something that the general is puzzled to understand."
Zhou Hongdao: "Is it possible that the assassins are fighting among themselves?"
"This is a possibility!" Hou Andu nodded, "My second question is, since no one has been caught alive, we cannot rule out the possibility of individual assassins escaping from the secret passage. Are there any suspicious people found outside?"
Liu Mingdao: "Just now, Master Han sent someone to report that a suspicious person was riding away on horseback. He has already sent someone to chase him."
Hou Andu said: "That's it! Wherever they come from, they go out. The assassins obviously left a way out. I hope Lord Han can give us a surprise! This third question is what His Highness asked.
What's the explanation for being addicted to drugs?"
Liu Mingdao: "The general has examined the monk Dianzuo and the monks including rice, vegetables, fire and water, and there is nothing suspicious. The imperial physician and the accompanying medical workers have also tested the food for poisons, and they are all normal.
”
Hou Andu raised his eyebrows: "This is strange. Since there is no problem in the fasting meal, where did the drugs on His Highness and Miss Ning come from?"
Liu Ming crossed his arms to Chen Chang and said, "Your Highness, please recall carefully. What's strange about the temple?"
Chen Chang touched his nose, pondered for a moment and said: "I remembered it. After I finished my meal and rested, I vaguely saw a macaque coming in from the back window..."
Everyone frowned.
Chen Chang never returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion. Shui Ling'er was very worried and restless in the small courtyard, so she thought of going out to look for it. However, the courtyard of her Prince Consort's Mansion was complicated, with hundreds of corridors and winding paths.
With the memory in mind, I followed the path back.
The servants in the mansion were busy with their own affairs, and many people knew her identity, but no one stopped her.
When Shui Ling'er walked to the door of a courtyard, she heard a man's voice coming from the courtyard. It was Yan Qianshi's voice. Shui Ling'er stopped unconsciously and thought to herself: "It turns out that they have come back, I can just ask.
Let me know about the husband."
Shui Ling'er hesitated for a moment and was about to step in when she heard Ma Liang say: "Hey, you said that Miss Shui Ling'er... is many times more beautiful than Miss Lou."
When Shui Ling'er heard him mention her name, she immediately stopped. The two of them were talking in the room, but their voices were very loud, especially Ma Liang's loud voice.
Shui Ling'er quietly came closer and heard Ma Liang say: "Brother Yan, hey, I wonder if you have seen Miss Lou?"
Yan Qianshi said: "Oh, brother Ma, this is my first time in Jiangling, how come I have seen Miss Lou?"
Ma Liang said "Sisi" several times: "Yeah, I forgot about this! Let's not talk about Miss Lou. Let's talk about Miss Shui. Did Miss Shui and Chen Langjun really just know each other for a few days? What do I think?
It's not like that. Look at the two of them, they are more inseparable than a newlywed couple... Gee, I don't know what words to use."
Yan Qianshi smiled and said: "Brother Ma, so you are already married?"
Ma Liang hummed: "Why are you asking about this?"
Yan Qianshi laughed dryly and said: "Oh, I'm just curious!"
"I want to get married, but I don't know who is willing to marry me!" Ma Liang said angrily, "Why do you keep asking about me? Do you have a sister? I'm going to talk to you before you say anything.
With this kind of honor, I will not be your brother-in-law even to death!"
When Yan Qianshi said this, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
Ma Liang patted his shoulder with his big hand: "Brother, it's just a joke, don't mind! It depends on what our lady means. From now on, Mr. Chen's future is limitless. You and he are good brothers, and you will definitely follow him in the future. Hehe,
But I have to find a way to flatter Chen Langjun and Miss Shui as soon as possible."
When Shui Ling'er heard the word "flattering", she couldn't help but think of the slap she received on the buttocks by Chen Chang by the Juzhang River. Her face suddenly became hot and her heart was pounding. She looked around guiltily. Fortunately, she didn't.
People.
Yan Qianshi said: "Brother Ma, Qilang is definitely not an ungrateful person. You protected him to the death along the way. This is such a great kindness."
Ma Liang laughed and said, "That's what my old horse said, asking me to flatter people like that boss, but I can't do it."
Yan Qianshi said: "That is, that is."
Ma Liang said again: "I don't know what Chen Langjun did. You see, when Mr. Yu saw him, he was like his biological father, no closer than his biological father. This time he finally found out about the Lou family.
, a big stone fell to the ground."
Shui Ling'er was particularly concerned about the Lou family's affairs. Chen Chang went out early in the morning to inquire about this matter. When he heard Ma Liang mention the Lou family again, his ears pricked up.
Yan Qianshi echoed: "Yes, yes, I was sweating for Qilang before, but now it seems that the clouds have dispersed for the day. Hey, Miss Shui doesn't have to worry this time."
Shui Ling'er felt happy after hearing this, thinking that the Miss Lou family was also a well-educated and sensible person.
Ma Liang sighed and said: "Brother Yan, don't be happy too early. I'm telling you, the Lou family's affairs are getting better, but the Lou family is still hanging on. How do you know what their attitude is? I'm just listening.
Having said that, that person is a person with upright ideas. I’m afraid there are still variables in Miss Shui’s matter..."
The smile on Shui Ling'er's face suddenly disappeared: "These two people were talking in such a confusing way. The other person just said that I don't have to worry, and the other person said that there are variables in my matter."
Yan Qianshi also sighed and asked: "Brother Ma, how much do you know about Miss Lou?"
Ma Liang spread his hands and said, "You are asking the wrong person. I am a rough man, so how can I know about this young lady? Well... I just heard a few words from my young lady. She is a virtuous and virtuous lady."
”
"It's just... tsk tsk... we're all enemies. It's better for me, old horse. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and there aren't so many romantic debts, hehe..."
Ma Liang just smiled without any yin or yang. Shui Ling'er heard the mixed feelings in his heart and it was hard to distinguish, so he wanted to leave, but Ma Liang said: "But then again, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about water."
Regarding the girl's life experience, she can't go back to the Liu family. Since she followed Chen Langjun out, if she doesn't marry him, who else can she marry?"
Yan Qianshi said sadly: "I'm afraid Miss Lou won't allow it!"
Shui Ling'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she immediately stood up again, thinking to herself: "What did Miss Lou say again?"
