Back to the early Tang Dynasty as a fairy Chapter 280: War in the south of the city, in the north of Guoguo, the wild dead can be eaten without being buried.
Chapter 280: War in the south of the city, in the north of Guoguo, the wild dead can be eaten without being buried.
His Highness Li Shimin, King of Qin, was carrying a white cloth with a blood letter in his hand. Accompanied by Kong Qing, he left the Taishi Bureau with a worried look on his face, got on his carriage and left.
After Kong Qing sent His Highness the King of Qin to his carriage, he returned to Qingxiazi's courtyard with a whisk in his hand.
"Master Qingxia, do we, the Taishi Bureau, not care about the assassination of Zhang Daoyuan?"
"What the hell?"
Qingxiazi held the tea cup with her hands and looked at the sky with a calm expression on her face.
"The saints have not given us any instructions to ask our Taishi Bureau to take charge of this matter. Do you still want to overstep your authority?"
"But……"
After hearing Qingxiazi's words, Kong Qing was immediately stunned.
"Isn't it the responsibility of our Taishi Bureau to deal with these cultivators who commit crimes?"
"You are wrong, Qingwei!"
Qingxiazi picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"The responsibilities of our Taishi Bureau are to test astronomy, determine the calendar, protect the Taoist inheritance, and ensure that humans will not be overly oppressed by demons and gods. That's all. As for more things, we can't do it, and we can't do it!"
As she said this, Qingxiazi glanced sideways at Kong Qing.
"For example, let's take Zhang Daoyuan's matter. Do you think we need to take care of it?"
Kong Qing nodded silently.
That's right! Since it was a cultivator who committed the crime, it is natural that the Taishi Bureau should come forward.
"All right!"
Qingxiazi picked up the tea cup again and took a sip.
"The old man will tell you that the knife that stabbed Zhang Daoyuan's throat was direct, steady and accurate. It was probably either Kong Jingjing or Yin's killer. Now that the case is solved, Qingwei, you can go and arrest the person..."
After hearing Qingxiazi's words, Kong Qing blinked in confusion.
"Master Qingxia, where can Pindao arrest people?"
"Oh...why don't you know?"
Qingxiazi glanced at Kong Qing.
"Looking at your appearance of intending to seek justice, I thought you, Master Qingwei, knew where those Hidden Killers and Kong Kong Jingjing people were lurking?"
Kong Qing scratched his face with his hand.
Well, he really didn’t know where those people who were hiding in Kongkong Jingjing were, but he happened to know where two big lolita lived.
"Well, since you can't catch the murderer, let's catch the mastermind behind it."
As she spoke, Qingxiazi opened her mouth and yawned.
"I believe Qingwei, you can also guess that the mastermind behind this time must be the Fahua Sect. After all, you, His Majesty, and King Qin have completely wiped out the Fahua Sect's savings in Chang'an for so many years in one go.
It’s natural to want revenge.”
"that……"
Kong Qing smiled sheepishly at Qingxiazi.
"As you know, Zhenren, Pindao didn't take any property at all, he just grabbed a few tattered weapons."
"Haha... I'm afraid these tattered weapons you grabbed are more distressing to the Fahua Sect than the rest of the property and land."
Qingxiazi sneered and said in a teasing tone.
"Now that the truth is out, why don't you go and kill all the remaining two or three big cats and kittens of the Fahua Sect in Chang'an? This will be regarded as revenge for Zhang Daoyuan. What do you think?"
After hearing Qingxiazi's suggestion, Kong Qing blinked silently.
Isn't this an indiscriminate killing of innocent people?
"Pindao doesn't think it's a good idea to do this..."
"Nonsense, of course it's not good!"
Qingxiazi glared at Kong Qing fiercely.
"Why do you think the saint did not hand over this matter to the Taishi Bureau but to the King of Qin for investigation? It is because the saint also knows that the Fahua Sect is very resentful this time. If he continues to force the dog to jump over the wall, maybe those bald men will
It’s really a rebellion.”
"Oh, that's it!"
Listening to Qingxiazi's analysis, Kong Qing nodded with a look of enlightenment.
His Majesty Li Yuan is really scheming!
"By the way, you have been promoted to a real person now, and I have something for you..."
Qingxiazi looked sideways at Kong Qing.
"The sister of Cui Zhizhi, the captain of Hedong County, disappeared two days ago. Go to Jinzhou to check. Well, Hedong is not far from the place where a certain princess is stationed. You can also visit your third wife."
"What about my third wife..."
After hearing Qingxiazi's words, Kong Qing subconsciously retorted.
"The relationship between Pindao and Sanniang is pure and clear. It is not an unclear relationship between you and me at all."
"Who cares whether you two are innocent or not."
Qingxiazi waved her hand and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Anyway, you will leave for Jinzhou soon and stay there for a month first."
"How can a missing persons case take a month..."
Kong Qing stopped mid-sentence and looked at Qingxiazi with a suspicious look on his face.
"Master Qingxia, are you worried that I will help King Qin capture Kong Jingjing and Hidden Killers or deal with the monks of the Fahua Sect, so you sent me to Chang'an specifically?"
next moment……
boom!
Kong Qing's body spun and flew out like a big windmill, hitting the wall. The Coke in the cup was thrown all over him by centrifugal force.
Qingxiazi retracted her fist, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Qingwei, if you can't speak, just say a few words."
"..."
On the other side, King Qin, who got on his carriage and rushed back to Tiance Mansion, was sitting in the hall of the palace, looking at the blood book on the white cloth in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
"Fight in the south of the city and die in the north of Guo. If you die in the wild, you will not be buried as a crow but you can eat it. Call the crow for me: and be a distinguished guest!"
Just when King Li Shimin of Qin repeatedly chanted this line from the Han Dynasty Yuefu poem "Battle to the South of the City" in a deep voice, he heard a burst of noise, and then saw three or four scribes and three or four
The generals walked into the hall one after another.
"I'm going to see His Highness the King of Qin!"
When he heard the voice, Li Shimin raised his head.
"Auxiliary machine, Xuan Ling, Ke Ming... you guys came just in time, Gu Zheng is looking for you, come and sit down!"
After the scribes and generals sat down behind the desks on both sides of the hall, Li Shimin put down the white cloth in his hand, raised his head and said to his loyal confidants present.
"During the court meeting today, Aye couldn't help but use the incident of Zhang Daoyuan's assassination to put pressure on Gu. In the end, he used this as an excuse to let Gu take over the investigation of the assassin, so Gu went to see Taishi Ling Qingxiazi.
I learned that after the assassin killed someone, he left this behind..."
With that said, Li Shimin picked up the white cloth and handed it to the attendant next to him, motioning him to take it off for his right-hand men to take a look at.
"this is……"
Changsun Wuji took a look at the white cloth and immediately came to a conclusion.
"Battle to the south of the city!"
"good!"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui on one side also nodded, and even Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao on the other side nodded, indicating that they were familiar with this poem.
"Auxiliary machine, Xuanling, Keming..."
When the white cloth was passed around and returned to Li Shimin's hand again, he looked at it with searching eyes.
"What do you think the assassin meant by leaving this white cloth?"
""Battle City South" is one of the "Eighteen Songs of Songs" and is the voice of Beidi and the Western Regions. This assassin left this sentence, which shows that he is very familiar with the voice of the frontier fortress. In other words, even if this assassin is not a barbarian,
I must have stayed in the Northland for a long time."
Changsun Wuji stroked his short beard, his round face full of contemplation.
"What the auxiliary machine said is very true..."
Fang Xuanling touched his beard and continued beside him.
"But the most important thing you didn't mention is that this assassin triggered the backlash of dragon energy and is a practitioner."
"That's right. The assassin is a practitioner."
Du Ruhui analyzed calmly from the side.
"The reason why the saint must hand over this matter to King Qin today is because he has bad intentions!"
"good!"
Fang Xuanling nodded, his face solemn.
"The Saint deliberately caused trouble for the King of Qin, waiting for the King of Qin to reprimand or demote him if he did something bad. From a certain point of view, it seems that the Saint discovered the clues about the Yin soldiers crossing the border."
"How can it be?"
Cheng Yaojin said carelessly.
"All the surviving Yuancong guards will say in unison that they saw the Yin soldiers, and they are absolutely foolproof."
"This can only be said that we did not leave any evidence for the saints, but..."
Changsun Wuji continued.
"Whether or not there is evidence is one thing; what the saint thinks is another matter."
Li Shimin nodded silently.
He did feel that Aye seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble for him today.
If he had known that Aye would cause trouble for him after he cheated, then he... would have definitely cheated. As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts. With this money, what can he do?
Too much.
Aye may not be reliable, he can only rely on himself.
"So, Gu is definitely going to be unlucky this time?"
"Not necessarily!"
Fang Xuanling said.
"As long as we catch the assassin, even if the saint wants to cause trouble to King Qin, I'm afraid there won't be any suitable reason."
"But the other party is a practitioner..."
Li Shimin then asked.
"Unless we set up a trap and surround it with heavy troops, it is impossible to catch the cultivator assassin. But how can the cultivator assassin take the initiative to enter our trap?"
"possible!"
Du Ruhui continued.
"The assassin left this to tell me that he is going to continue his assassination. As long as we know his next assassination target, we can set up defenses in advance."
"indeed so……"
Changsun Wuji nodded.
"But how do we find out who the assassin's next target is? We don't even know what the assassin's situation is now."
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, the people present fell into deep thought again.
"that……"
Cheng Yaojin on the side blinked his big eyes and said with a blank look on his face.
"What are you worried about? Didn't he make the identity of this assassin very clear..."
"Huh?"
Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Cheng Yaojin with surprised eyes.
"Zhijie, you actually know the identity of the assassin. Let's talk to Gu Gu."
"good!"
Cheng Yaojin was not modest either. He rolled up his sleeves and started talking.
"What about fighting in the south of the city and dying in the north of Guo... Isn't this what we did when the Yin soldiers took advantage of the road some time ago? What this sentence means is that some of the people who were driven into the river by Shu Bao and I were seriously injured.
, he died when he returned to Chang'an... Those things behind are deep and agitated, the pampas grass is dark, the owl cavalry died in battle, and the rogue horse lingered and screamed. They are all about what happened that night, so..."
Snapped!
Du Ruhui slapped his palm on the table.
"Yes, Zhijie is right! Your Highness, King Qin, the assassin revealed something with this poem. He was one of the people present on the day when the Yin soldiers crossed the border!"
After hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin's eyes lit up instantly.
"Yaojin, think about it quickly, who was there that day when the Yin soldiers crossed the border?"
"The people who were present at the time..."
Cheng Yaojin began to recall seriously.
"There are Fu Yi and Yuan Cong Imperial Guards, as well as monks from the Fahua Sect... By the way, there is also a group of men in black wearing black scarves and masks, who seem to be the helpers of the monks from the Fahua Sect."
"The relationship between Prince Servant Zhang Daoyuan and Fu Yi is very friendly, so it cannot be Fu Yi's hand. And the remaining survivors of the Yuancong Imperial Guard are all our people, so it can be ruled out."
Fang Xuanling then analyzed.
"So the assassin is a monk from the Fahua Sect or a black-clothed helper invited by the monk. Then if they want to attack again, their next target must be..."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and said the answer in unison.
