Chapter 296 Gu feels that Qingwei will definitely be able to defeat the assassin
Snapped!
His Majesty Li Yuan slapped the tables in front of him with his palm, his expression gloomy.
"Not two days after Zhang Daoyuan and Zhang Qing were assassinated, Fu Qing was also assassinated, and the assassin still escaped while being surrounded by your black armor cavalry. Erlang, I left this matter to you, and this is how you repay me.
Trusted?"
Faced with His Majesty Li Yuan's accusation, King Qin Li Shimin was shocked for a while, but he still stood up and accepted it sincerely.
"Yes! The child is incompetent, please punish me!"
Pei Ji, who was standing aside, held the wat board in both hands and covered his confused face. His heart was full of worries and he didn't know what to say.
Although he seemed to have heard before that there was a little girl in Pei Ju's family who followed a nun to the mountains to learn skills, but this little girl was actually able to assassinate Fu Yi from the King of Qin's Black Armor Cavalry and escape calmly...
Fourth Lady, this is so awesome!
no!
Pei Ji bowed his body downward again with an expressionless face and made up his mind.
Even if his best friend is interested in the Fourth Lady, he cannot get involved in this matter.
"Punishment, what's the point of me punishing you?"
At this time, Li Yuan did not notice the complicated expression on his good friend's face. He flicked his sleeves and looked at his second son, King of Qin Li Shimin, coldly with his head down.
"You just need to tell me when you can catch this assassin..."
Facing Aye's gloomy gaze, Li Shimin sighed helplessly in his heart.
My Aye's reaction was guessed by Fang Xuanling and others.
Ever since yesterday Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin took Xuan Jiaqi to surround the assassin nun, but she escaped easily. Before leaving, she stabbed her chest with a sword and almost killed Fu Yi...
Well, it wasn’t close, she had actually succeeded in the assassination!
If Qin Qiong hadn't remembered Qingwei's superb medical skills at that time, and then rushed to Qingdu Temple with Fu Yi and met Sun Simiao, Fu Yi would have been as cold as Zhang Daoyuan now.
For practitioners like this who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, ordinary armies are completely helpless. Although they do not have the ability to forcefully charge into the military formations composed of military disciples, they can leave at any time if they want.
Even the most talented person like Fang Moudu Duer, after deliberation for a long time, could only give himself a somewhat depressing suggestion.
Let Qingxiazi from the Taishi Bureau come forward to arrest people!
Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked up at Aye's angry face, and what Fang Xuanling said to him flashed through his mind.
"Your Highness failed to capture the assassin this time. The Saint will definitely be very angry and order you to catch the assassin within a time limit. At that time, Your Highness may wish to request the Saint to let the Taishi Bureau be responsible for this matter. If the Saint agrees, it means that the Saint has no plan.
Taking this opportunity to weaken His Highness’s power, if not allowed..."
"Then it's time to think about it!"
Li Shimin murmured something, then lifted up his robe with both hands and knelt down in front of His Majesty Li Yuan with a bang.
"Ah Ye, yesterday I sent people to surround the assassin. However, this assassin is very skilled and is really not a person that I can capture. I boldly asked Ah Ye to hand over the matter to the Taishi Bureau. I feel that the entire Chang'an
Only Master Qingxia can..."
"no!"
Before Li Shimin could finish his words, Li Yuan had already interrupted him with a serious look on his face.
"Qingxiazi is used to suppress the ghosts and gods of Jingzhao. Don't touch it lightly. Erlang, you are the shepherd of Yongzhou. It is your responsibility to capture the assassin. Don't blame others."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin suddenly felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on the top of his head. It was cold from head to sole. He squirmed his lips and bowed down again numbly.
"Yes! My dear, I obey your orders!"
Seeing the dull expression on his rebellious son's face, His Majesty Li Yuan couldn't help but feel soft-hearted for a while.
Although he said that he did not want to pass the throne to this child, lest the Tang Dynasty he founded would suffer the same fate as the Sui Dynasty, but no matter what, this child was also his biological son with his wife Dou, and he was once most proud of it.
Tiger.
"Erlang, if the assassin can't be caught, can't you even find the leader?"
Li Yuan lengthened his voice and added an accent to his tone.
"From my point of view, you are just too careless in doing things. You are always thinking about things you shouldn't think about, and you don't even know what you should do."
"yes!"
Li Shimin kowtowed again with a blank expression.
"My child has disappointed Aye..."
"But you are not without credit this time,"
After seeing Li Shimin's pitiful expression, His Majesty Li Yuan's heart softened again, and then he changed his tone.
"Although Fu Qing was seriously injured this time, at least you saved him and found Sun Simiao to treat Fu Qing without letting the assassin succeed directly. Isn't that great?"
Li Shimin raised his head, seemingly unaware of why Aye's tone suddenly softened.
"My child dare not accept Aye's praise like this."
"Do your best..."
His Majesty Li Yuan hardened his heart and waved his hand to Li Shimin, indicating that he could retreat.
"Remember, what I want is for this matter to come to light, not simply to catch an assassin."
"yes!"
After Li Shimin agreed again, he bowed his head and carefully backed out.
After Li Shimin exited the hall, Li Yuan also put away the cold expression on his face and sighed to Pei Ji who was standing aside.
"Pei Qing, do you think I am too harsh on Erlang?"
"Sage, what did you say..."
Upon hearing Li Yuan's question to him, Pei Ji immediately put away his messy thoughts and answered seriously.
"As the saying goes, Vajra's angry eyes are used to subdue the four demons, and Bodhisattva's lowered eyebrows are used to show mercy to the six realms. Sage, you are more strict with His Highness the King of Qin now because you are worried that he will do something wrong. This is also the way you, the Sage, show compassion to the King of Qin.
Take care of me!"
"Yes! Pei Qing is right..."
After hearing Pei Ji's words, His Majesty Li Yuan nodded with emotion.
"As the saying goes, all parents in the world are bad. If there is a more important reason, which parent would really be willing to speak ill of his son. But it is a pity that my good son is under the influence of those people around him.
I'm afraid he can't understand my painstaking efforts, and maybe he will complain that I am unfair to him."
"Aye, how unfair..."
King Qin Li Shimin said helplessly while leading Fang Xuanling and others towards the outer imperial city.
"Can Gu be able to catch such an assassin? How can Gu be able to find the mastermind if he can't even catch the assassin?"
"From what His Highness said, the Saint does not really intend for you to find the master envoy."
Fang Xuanling, who had just finished listening to Li Shimin's report on the work process to Li Yuan, twirled his beard with his hands, rolled his eyes, and said thoughtfully.
"But your Highness, just find a 'mastermind' who can appease everyone in the world!"
"I have some guesses about this, but who can I turn to?"
Li Shimin let out a long sigh.
"Can Gu Hao really capture people from the Fahua Sect?"
"Absolutely not!"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui waved their hands at the same time, looking nervous.
"The Fahua Sect has been weakened to such an extent in Jingzhao Mansion, and its vitality has been severely damaged. If His Highness attacks them again at this time, it will force them to rebel. The world is still uncertain, and this matter must not be done..."
"I know, I'm just complaining."
Li Shimin waved his hands with a frustrated look on his face.
"In order to help Bishamon establish his prestige, Aye did not hesitate to hand over cases such as Falla's rebellion to him to win people's hearts. He even brushed off the matter of him sending people to kill monk Falla, but ended up here.
Aye, he will force Gu to offend these monks, and it won’t work if he doesn’t go.”
"Actually, the saint did not require His Highness to offend Buddhism."
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard with his hand and said with a deep look on his face.
"After all, there are still several major Buddhist sects. His Highness can secretly send people to contact them and tell them the whole story. Let them know that His Highness does not want to accuse them, but the saint refuses and lets them find a way to solve it themselves."
"Wonderful!"
Du Ruhui on the side clapped his hands.
"At that time, it won't be Tiance Mansion that is forcing the Buddhists, but the Buddhists will be fighting among themselves."
Hearing the words of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Shimin also had a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Is this method feasible? Does Buddhism really know how to hand over people?"
"Nine times out of ten!"
Du Ruhui also touched his beard with his hand, looking confident.
"According to someone's knowledge, a great eminent monk happened to have just died, and before he died, a new Buddhist sect had just been founded, which was not in harmony with other sects..."
"Okay, let's do it!"
After Fang Dudu unanimously agreed, Li Shimin stopped talking and made a decision casually.
"Then leave this matter to Ke Ming. Be careful to keep it hidden. I don't want this matter to reach Aye's ears."
"yes!"
Du Ruhui raised his hand and agreed.
"I accept my order."
After solving the big problem of the mastermind behind the scenes, Li Shimin turned his attention to the assassin.
"But that assassin is simply too arrogant. He won't be able to get out of this mood without catching her. Since Aye doesn't plan to hand over this matter to the Taishi Bureau, then Gu will ask the people from the Taishi Bureau for help..."
As he spoke, Li Shimin turned his head to Fang Xuanling.
"Xuanling, do you think Qingwei can defeat that assassin?"
"this……"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Fang Xuanling's face.
"It's hard for me to say."
"I know, Xuanling, you think Qingwei is too young, but I think there's no problem..."
Li Shimin thought about the miraculous performances Kong Qing had shown in front of him before, and said with confidence.
"Although Qingwei is not very old, he is an immortal and cannot be compared to ordinary practitioners."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, exchanged opinions, and then lowered their heads silently at the same time.
Okay! Your Highness, do you think Qingwei can handle it?
Anyway, it's not like the two of them were going to fight the assassin.
"Then it's settled!"
Li Shimin once again made a decision.
"Xuanling, you will take Shubao and the others to station at Qingdu Temple during this period. On the one hand, you will protect Fu Yi nearby, and on the other hand, you will see when Qingwei will come back. When he comes back, you will notify me immediately..."
"yes!"
Fang Xuanling raised her hands and saluted Li Shimin seriously.
