Zhang Yi and others accompanied Xiao Liu back to the palace. Fortunately, the imperial guards maintained a high degree of vigilance. At night, there were 3 meters per person and 5 steps per post, and even the palace was equipped with crossbowmen.
The 3,000 Yulin Army have experienced hundreds of battles and are considered the most elite of the Kingdom of China. They are loyal to only one person, King Liu Kai. Although they are small in number, they are the mainstay of Anbang and the country.
The president's name is Liu Zhu, the left commander's name is Liu Zhong, and the right commander's name is Liu Cheng. They are all adopted sons of King Liu Kai. They are brave, good at fighting, loyal and reliable.
Zhang Yi told Liu Zhu who came up to him: "Commander Liu, you must be more vigilant, be careful of assassins, and be ready for battle at any time."
Princess Xiaoliu also said: "Commander Liu, we just encountered two assassins and they have been captured. Please be more careful."
"Yes, Lord Chief Assistant, yes, Princess Xiaoliu." Commander Liu bowed and said. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he hurriedly increased his manpower and surrounded the palace.
Recently, the king's physical condition has stabilized and he is currently talking with his younger brother Liu Guang in the Yangxin Hall. Zhang Yi, Xiao Liu and others went straight to the Yangxin Hall.
Zhang Yi saw that General Liu Guangda looked very unhappy, presumably because he was lectured by the king. Liu Guang was quite dissatisfied with the reform. Although he did not show it in court, he made many complaints in private.
"Yi'er, Liu'er, what happened?"
King Liu Kai asked. He knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the hurried appearance of several people.
General Liu Guangda obviously couldn't get used to such a nickname. He snorted coldly and stared at Zhang Yi, extremely dissatisfied with this young man who was above him.
"Father, it's bad, Wu Rui sent assassins to kill us!" Princess Xiaoliu said angrily.
Snap!
King Liu Kai patted the wooden chair angrily and stood up.
"Father, don't worry," Zhang Yi hurriedly consoled him, stepped forward to help the king sit down slowly, and told the situation, "Two killers went to the house where I lived to assassinate, one was shot and killed, and the other committed suicide by taking poison. We infer
He is an assassin from the Wu Rui faction, but there is no direct evidence yet."
We must speak clearly. This matter involves the life and death of many people. It is not a child's play. There must be conclusive evidence to convict. Zhang Yi understands this. Xiaoliu is a daughter, so she doesn't think so much.
"I think the target of the assassin is Zhang Yi, not Liu Er," General Liu Guangda frowned. "Whether it was Wu Rui or Zhang Yi's enemy, we must investigate clearly! After all, Zhang Yi has offended too many people through his reform.
people!"
"Uncle is right, we will definitely investigate clearly." Zhang Yi nodded, "Until we find the culprit, in order to prevent accidents, we will protect our father day and night."
Liu Guang spoke loudly and called everyone by his first name, which made everyone feel uncomfortable. However, he was an elder, so there was nothing wrong with him calling him by his name in private.
King Liu Kai has experienced countless storms in his life and has superb martial arts skills. He did not take the assassins seriously and said: "It doesn't matter, you don't need to worry too much about me. Although there is no clear evidence, Wu Rui refused to cooperate. I think there is
Signs of his rebellion."
Zhang Yi and others nodded.
Jun Wu Yan said that the king lived in seclusion, but his heart was as clear as a mirror. Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu would come to accompany him almost every day and report on the situation, so he naturally came to a conclusion.
"Hey, Wu Rui made great contributions back then," General Liu Guangda sighed. "My brother once promised the two families to get married, but then he went back on his word and promoted the new son-in-law to a high position. Of course Wu Rui was dissatisfied. This guy will definitely rebel.
!”
Everyone went to see Liu Guang. His words were a bit complaining about his brother and Zhang Yi, but they still pointed the finger at Wu Rui.
"Second brother, what you said is inappropriate," King Liu Kai shook his head and said, "I, Liu Kai, am not an ungrateful person, but don't you understand who Wu Rui's son Wu Liang is? How could Liu'er marry that man? An incompetent and immoral boy?"
The king is not seen outside, and speaks whenever he has anything to say. He was originally a heroic man, but later he respected etiquette, but in private he is still bold and free-spirited. Princess Xiaoliu inherited her father's carefree nature.
"Yes, uncle," Princess Xiaoliu said, dissatisfied with her uncle. "For the sake of my life's major events, my father did not hesitate to break his promise. My uncle should be considerate. In addition, Wu Rui has merit, so my father tolerates it blindly." He, but, look at what he did. He controlled the government, supported the dead, and protected the evil forces. He clearly had different intentions!"
The family argued in public, which made Wang Zheng, Xiaolong, Niu Ben, Xiao Han and Shi Gandang a little embarrassed. Everyone felt that the king was right. How could a father not think about his daughter's happiness? Some promises should be broken, that's right. .It’s just that General Liu Guangda is becoming more and more annoying.
"If my brother and Liu Er say so, then we should get rid of Wu Rui and his son," General Liu Guangda gritted his teeth. "Knowing that he was going to rebel, we should have taken action early to eradicate the scourge."
"Uncle is right," Princess Xiaoliu said with a smile. "My father will summon Wu Rui tomorrow. He says he is ill and cannot afford it, so he needs to be carried. If Wu Rui is captured, he will not be able to cause trouble." .”
"Liu'er, you are too naive," General Liu Guangda said rudely, "Wu Rui has always been scheming, do you think he will submit obediently? He won't show up, he will find every way to refuse, and if it doesn't work, he will just pretend to be dead. In short, It’s okay if my brother is not summoned, but once he is summoned, it will be the day when swordsmen meet!”
Zhang Yi was shocked and had to say that General Liu Guangda's words were somewhat reasonable. After all, they had worked together for many years and knew each other better.
However, Zhang Yi always felt that something was wrong, a strange feeling.
King Liu Kai nodded and said: "Wu Rui is known as a wise man. Unexpectedly, we are brothers, and now he has begun to lay out a conspiracy against us. Six Tigers of China, you must prepare for the battle overnight."
Princess Xiaoliu proposed the name Six Tigers of China. Of course the king knew about it. Seeing that the six tigers were all present, he issued the order.
When the king said this, everyone was gearing up. It was a recognized fact that Wu Rui wanted to rebel, and all kinds of signs were enough to prove it.
"Brother, don't be careless," General Liu Guangda stood up and said, "Wu Rui has been operating secretly for many years, and once he rebels, it will spread to the entire country, especially Chang'an. The Six Tigers of China are highly skilled in martial arts, but tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of rebels are coming. They can't resist it no matter what. Please give me a gold medal, brother, and I will go to the north to mobilize troops and horses to guard Chang'an."
The words made sense, so King Liu Kai immediately gave General Liu Guangda a gold medal and asked him to mobilize 30,000 elite troops and travel at night to Chang'an to quell the rebellion.
General Liu Guangda accepted the order and left.
King Liu Kai summoned the three commanders of the Royal Forest Army and ordered them to enter a state of combat. They all gathered in the palace to await dispatch, and granted Zhang Yi command.
"Father, I want to transfer eight thousand warriors from Mopan City to Chang'an to prepare for war." Zhang Yi asked for instructions.
