Chapter 134: Who is the target?

"Naha was attacked by someone and almost hit by an arrow." Lan

When Li Hong came to the courtyard where Yunchu and the others were staying, they met and told Yunchu what happened at dusk.

With a "Kacha" sound, the tea cup in Yun Chu's hand shattered. He glanced at Wen Wenwen and Di Renjie, slowly put the broken pieces of the tea cup on the table and asked, "Do you know who is plotting against Naha?"

Li Hongdao: "Naha thinks the assassin's target is me, not her."

Yun Chu said indifferently: "It has been two hours since the incident happened. You came here in the middle of the night just to tell me that Naha was assassinated, but you don't know anything?"

Li Hongdao: "It has been found that the archer is Zhang Jue, the captain of the fifth team of the sixth regiment of Luozhou Zhechong Prefecture."

Yun Chu said: "Where are the people?"

Li Hongdao: "Escaped without a trace." Lan

Yun Chu turned his head to Di Renjie, who drank tea and said: "We will find it eventually."

Wen Wen said to Li Hong: "Since the incident happened two hours ago, your Majesty should know. What is your Majesty's attitude?"

Li Hong sighed and said: "My father ordered me to capture Sima Tengjin of Luozhou and Chen Yong, the captain of Luozhou Zhechong Prefecture. Xiao Siye has already led six people to arrest them.

Master, what the disciples can't figure out now is that it is inevitable to capture Zhechong Colonel Chen Yong. Why should we capture Luozhou Sima Tengjin?

Is there anything in this that I don’t know?”

Without waiting for Yunchu's reply, Wen Wen replied without hesitation: "Sima Tengjin of Luozhou has held this official position for ten years."

Li Hong looked at Yun Chu and said, "Master has been in charge of Wannian County for almost ten years." Lan

Yun Chu nodded and said: "So, I should know everything that happens in Wannian County, big or small."

Li Hong frowned and said, "Who is the person behind Luozhou Sima Tengjin?"

Wen Wen said: "It must be a group of forces that your father can no longer tolerate. This time, the assassination matter will be solved."

Li Hong nodded and said to Di Renjie, "It's time for you."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Don't worry, they can't leave."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Chu and said, "Please transfer the command of Mrs. Fang's group in Luoyang to me."

Yun Chu took out a bronze medal from his arms and handed it to Di Renjie and said, "Tell me when you start to do it and I'll do it." Lan

Li Hong added: "My brother Li Xian has become very close to the Cui family, the Zheng family, and the Liu family for some reason recently. There are many talented people in his house now."

Yun Chu said: "Does your mother know?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "I know, I was planning to have an attack tonight, but my father suppressed it. I don't want to cause the brothers to have a feud and make others laugh."

Yun Chu said: "Your mother will not give up. This time Li Xian may escape, and others..."

Li Hong's hands trembled, but the hot tea didn't feel hot even after it fell on them. He hesitated and said, "I don't want the Queen Mother to interfere."

Wen Wen shook her head and said: "Since your mother became the queen, everything she did was actually done for your father. Your mother would do anything that was difficult to say or unpleasant to hear.

If Your Majesty is the blazing sun in the sky, then Her Majesty the Queen is the bright moon in the dark night.

Your father shines brightly in the world, and your mother empress..."

Li Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Who am I?"

Di Renjie said: "Your Highness is the spring seedlings in the fields, the rain and dew in the morning, the babies born to the ground, the newly born toddlers, and the vitality of the Tang Dynasty."

"So, I can't go over to the kitchen and do things on my mother's behalf?"

"Yes, your Majesty and the Queen have already formed a tacit understanding and division of labor. Your Highness is benevolent and filial, and you don't want the Queen to get involved in those evil things. However, Your Highness, power is power. If you are acting as a chef, the Queen will think that you are seizing power.

Even if you know that you are benevolent and filial, it is still true that you seize power in the name of benevolent and filial piety."

After listening to the gentle explanation, Li Hong leaned his back on the chair slumped and said softly: "In other words, if I do something on behalf of my mother, not only will it not increase the family relationship with my mother, but will it create resentment?

"Lan

Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie were silent. No matter how close Li Hong was to them, they would never ask Li Hong to make a choice between them and the Queen.

They can point out the priorities of things and will never do anything to alienate the relationship between mother and child.

Most of the counselors who did this kind of thing in the past either died or disappeared. Only the group of people who alienated the relationship between Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizu survived.

The next day, May 8th, was a great day for Naha's enthronement. The Yun family got up early in the morning, and together with the Wen family and the Di family, they dressed up and went to the White Horse Temple to watch the ceremony.

People in the Tang Dynasty liked to burn incense, so they went to the White Horse Temple. The incense here was so thick that it made people breathless.

In addition, there were so many people who came to watch the ceremony that many people raised their heads to breathe, like fish being thrown ashore.

Although there are a lot of Jinwu Guards on guard, the White Horse Temple has become an extremely dangerous place because the entire city of Luoyang has mobilized.

Di Renjie was not here, so Yun Chu grabbed the reins of the gentle war horse and said, "Get out of here immediately, there are too many people."

Wen Wen nodded repeatedly and said, "I feel uneasy."

Yunchu jumped off his horse and ordered the generals of the three families to take advantage of the fact that the crowd at the rear was still sparse, and decisively cut off the road to prevent the people behind from moving forward.

When there are too many people, it is easy for stampedes to happen, especially in places where hundreds of thousands of people gather. It is extremely dangerous. As long as there is a slight accident, or a man-made panic is caused, thousands of people will be killed or injured.

many.

When Yunchu saw that his generals had cut off the flow of people, he grabbed a Jinwu guard general and said: "Immediately tell your generals to cut off all roads to the White Horse Temple, otherwise there will be a disaster."

Jinwu Guard Pi was very dissatisfied with Yun Chu's words, so he scolded him. Yun Chu took out his badge for entering and exiting the palace, pressed it on this guy's face and said: "I am Lantian Hou Yunchu, go quickly."

Seeing General Pi leaving in a hurry, Yu Xiurong stuck his head out of the carriage and asked, "What happened? Why don't you go to the White Horse Temple? The auspicious time is coming soon."

Yun Chu said: "I feel very bad. You should turn around and go home quickly."

Yu Xiurong said anxiously: "Naha is still waiting for us."

Yun Chu said: "If what happened last night was intentional, they probably wouldn't miss this good opportunity and go back!"

At the same time, Wen Wen also arranged for the generals to rush to Baima Temple quickly to inform them of the scene here, hoping to postpone or stop the enthronement ceremony.

I don’t know whether Yunchu’s warning worked, or the Jinwu Guards also discovered the shortcomings. There were more and more Jinwu Guards in the crowd, and checkpoints were set up at the front, and horse guards were placed to prevent outsiders from entering.

People come in again.

The Jinwu Guards in Luoyang are not the Jinwu Guards in Chang'an at all. The previous Jinwu Guards soldiers who guarded the capital have gone home long ago. It is not known that this group of people were transferred from Zhechong Prefecture there.

Chang'an Jinwuwei is very experienced in such large scenes with huge crowds of people, because Chang'an has to deal with such large scenes as many as three times a year.

Obviously, the Jinwu Guards in Luoyang did not have this kind of experience. Perhaps the generals had given their orders correctly, but when it came time to execute them, the Jinwu Guards soldiers took out their whips.

When dealing with this kind of crowd, a smile is definitely easier to use than a whip. A smile can calm people's hearts, but a whip will only make people fearful and cause chaos.

Yunchu didn't stay on the street for long. He saw that the troops of the Jinwu Guard had already arrived, and at the same time, the monks from the White Horse Temple also began to go out to give instructions. He and Wen Wen took the scrolls of the three families back along a small alley.

As soon as the carriage entered the alley, Yunchu's face turned gloomy, and Wen Wenwen remained sullen without saying a word.

The generals of the three families guarded the three carriages tightly without giving any orders.

Everywhere else looked crowded, but this small alley was surprisingly quiet.

Wen Wen whispered: "How about I return to the carriage so that you can use it more conveniently." Lan

Yun Chu whispered: "Slow down, remember to drop the iron plate. I haven't killed all these people, so don't come out."

Wen Wen nodded, rode close to his carriage, and then got into the carriage. His movements were not chaotic at all, but very smooth.

Just as Yu Xiurong was about to poke his head out of the car window, Yun Chu pushed him back and pulled down the iron plate on the car window.

The generals were already on alert, and the distance between the three carriages was getting smaller and smaller. When this small convoy arrived at a crossroads, arrows fell like a heavy rain.

Even though they were prepared, the generals were shot around in the first round of arrows.

Yunchu's figure happened to be sandwiched between two carriages. The rain of arrows could not do anything to him for a while, but the rain of arrows fell on the carriage and made a crackling sound like rain hitting banana trees.

This place is very close to the White Horse Temple, and these assassins don't have much time to continue using bows and arrows to consume their guard strength.

When Yun Chu appeared at the entrance of the alley with a horizontal knife, many masked people poured out from all sides of the intersection.

The participating generals from the three families quickly formed a team to block the remaining three intersections, and started fighting with the assassins in an instant.

Only the assassins on Yun Chu's side rushed over and stopped ten steps away from Yun Chu. The leading assassin opened his arms and blocked the accomplices behind him, preventing them from rushing forward to die.

Yun Chu's reputation for being brave and brave has spread among the army for more than a day or two. From the neat charging formation of these people, Yun Chu knew immediately that these people must be soldiers of the government.

Yun Chu walked forward slowly and said: "The soldiers of the government are also thieves? It's really weird. They put down their weapons and surrendered. Only the first culprit was killed, and the rest fled to the border states."

The leading masked man sneered and said: "The Chang'an soldiers are so fat that they are willing to listen to you, but we guys have nothing to eat, so we have to eat the fat meat of Marquis Yun to fill our stomachs."

Yun Chu shouted loudly: "How outrageous!" Lan

He swung his sword to deflect two feathered arrows, stepped on his feet, and was in front of the thief in an instant. The sword in his palm was slashed against the head like a sword.
