Yuchi Baolin was so frightened that he put his head on the ground and did not dare to move.
Big beads of sweat flowed continuously to the ground along the temples.
Whether he is a prince or an emperor.
They are all very important in this court.
If either of them had an accident, his head would have to be moved.
At this moment, he was also wondering why he was so careless when doing things and didn't know to check carefully.
Just when Li Chengqian wanted to kick him in the face to vent his anger.
Li Yuan, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand and took Li Chengqian's arm and said, "Okay! It's useless for you to blame him for this."
"No one would have thought that these assassins could hide so deep under the tiles and wait for opportunities."
Hearing Li Yuan help him to save himself.
Yuchi Baolin breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed quickly and said: "Thank you, the Emperor, for your understanding, but this matter is really due to my incompetence in handling the matter. I would like to ask the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince to punish me."
He's not a cheap guy either.
Mainly because he had made such a big mistake, and he would really not feel at ease if he was not punished twice.
What should he do if someone comes after him in the future?
At this time, Li Yuan also signaled to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian came to his senses and raised his head and said: "When the matter here is settled, go to the imperial city to find General Duan and ask him to reward you with fifty military sticks!"
"I obey!"
Yuchi Baolin hit his head on the ground, then stood up and led a group of Jinwu guards to capture the assassin.
And after he went far away.
Li Chengqian also sat back in the carriage, looked straight at Li Yuan and said: "Grandpa Huang, isn't this a bit too easy on him? Or chop off his head!"
"Cut his head off? Are you willing to do it?"
Li Yuan looked at Li Chengqian with a half-smile.
"..."
Li Chengqian lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "Sure enough,
I can't hide anything from you, Grandpa Huang..."
"nonsense!"
"Your grandpa Huang has lived for so many years, but he didn't just eat."
"I've seen far more storms than your kid has ever seen."
Although he has always lived in Da'an Palace, he doesn't care much about the affairs of the court.
But he has a certain understanding of his grandson.
Although this guy appears to be arrogant on the surface, he is actually an extremely soft-hearted person.
If he hadn't been forced to a certain extent, he wouldn't have gone out to kill people with a knife.
What's more.
The man in front of him is the eldest son of his Uncle Yuchi.
How could he be willing to execute his playmate who had grown up with him since childhood?
And Li Yuan also had no intention of cutting off Yuchi Baolin's head.
After all, he is no longer the one who calls the shots in this world, and he also wants to pave some paths for his grandson to make his future journey smoother.
Li Chengqian scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
And it was also at this time.
Li Yuan suddenly changed the topic and said, "But it seems that this matter is not that simple."
"ah?"
Li Chengqian was stunned and said, "What does Grandpa Huang mean by this?"
"Didn't you see where those assassins came from?"
Li Yuan said with a faint look: "They all jumped out from the roofs of the streets on both sides. Don't you think this is strange?"
Listen to what Li Yuan said.
Li Chengqian just reacted.
Speaking of which, this is indeed a bit strange.
.
You know, contemporary roofs are not the reinforced concrete of later generations.
Contemporary roofs are basically made of wood.
Between the roof and the beams, there is usually a small attic used to store debris. .??.
Thinking about it this way, these assassins actually came out of the attic.
This is somewhat intriguing.
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and looked around: "Is it possible that all the owners of these shops are colluding with the assassins?"
"Otherwise, otherwise..."
Li Yuan shook his head and said: "If they all collude with the assassins, then the number of assassins who appear will not be just a few, but in groups, hundreds or even thousands."
"But the assassins who appeared from the beginning to the end were only a few dozen people."
Li Yuan looked at Li Chengqian again and asked, "Do you know what this means?"
He is now like a teacher testing his own students.
Li Chengqian rubbed his chin, thought for a long time, and then said: "If they didn't collude with the assassins, it means they got in."
"But in the afternoon of the day my father gave the order."
"My grandson has already called Jin Wuwei and has blocked several surrounding streets."
"But during the interrogation, no one was found to be carrying weapons. This..."
He looked at Li Yuan suspiciously, which obviously didn't make sense.
Li Yuan smiled slightly and said, "What if we came that morning?"
There was obviously something in his words.
Li Chengqian also frowned involuntarily and said, "Grandpa Huang, you mean that someone ventilated these assassins in advance?"
"It looks like it's nine out of ten."
Li Yuan said in a calm tone: "Looking at the condition of those assassins, they have obviously been hiding here for several days."
"I'm afraid that when you decide to take this path, people will know the precise information..."
What Li Yuan meant by these words could not be more obvious.
It's just that he didn't tell Li Chengqian directly that there was a spy in the palace.
But Li Chengqian stared and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who leaked the secret.
after all.
At that time, he and Li Shimin were the only ones in the palace, plus the youngest son and Eunuch Zhou.
Did you know that Xiao Chuzi and Eunuch Zhou would betray them and betray Li Yuan's affairs to the assassins?
Do not make jokes.
Even if Li Chengqian would betray the country, the two of them would not do anything to betray Li Shimin.
And look at Li Chengqian's condition.
Li Yuan stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead, saying: "You silly boy, where are you thinking of going again? Could it be that you are counting the people in the palace?"
Hear this.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't he from the palace?"
"You stupid boy."
"Not to mention whether those people have the ability to plant spies around you and your father."
"Just saying that it would be very difficult for the palace to pass this news to the assassin one step ahead of you."
Li Yuan reminded: "You might as well think elsewhere..."
Think elsewhere?
Where else?
Li Chengqian's mind was filled with confusion.
But at this moment, a pair of Jinwu guards wearing armor walked past him, seemingly going to inspect those shops.
And saw these Jin Wuwei.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Li Chengqian's mind.
He looked up directly at Li Yuan and said, "Grandpa Huang, you mean that the spies are among the Forbidden Army?"
