Liu Xiu also wanted to know how the assassin sneaked in. He said to Luo You: "Tell Xuying that he must be captured alive!"
Luo You responded and ran forward quickly. When Luo You left, Liu Xiu suddenly felt nauseous. He held his hand on a pillar outside the hall and vomited several times. He probably vomited the food and wine he had eaten in the evening.
All vomited out.
The intestine-breaking poison is taken from the intestine-breaking grass, which is highly poisonous. Even if Liu Xiu has a body that is immune to all poisons, a drop of the intestine-breaking poison will not taste good.
The man in black was indeed very powerful in his ability to lighten his body. He was crawling on the roof. Liu Xiu in the hall did not hear any movement, and Xu Ying and others who were guarding outside the hall did not hear any movement either.
The first drop of venom poured out by the man in black flowed into Liu Xiu's mouth, and he woke up. However, Liu Xiu was also very cunning. Although he was awake, he lay motionless on the bed, as if he was still asleep.
Only then did the man in black let down his guard. To be on the safe side, he poured out a second drop of venom. However, Liu Xiu flicked his finger, causing the venom to bounce back into his eyes.
Seeing Liu Xiu vomiting violently, Zhang Kun stepped forward quickly, patted Liu Xiu on the back, and asked with concern: "Is your Majesty okay?"
Liu Xiu vomited out almost all the food in his stomach and intestines. In the end, there was nothing to vomit, and he just retched out streams of acidic water.
He retched for a while, then took the handkerchief handed over by Zhang Kun, wiped his eyes first, then wiped the corners of his mouth, then stood up, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
After vomiting, Liu Xiu felt much better.
He looked at the man in black who was still resisting. The latter's body had been scratched in several places, but his body was still flexible. Under the siege of many guards, he looked like a loach.
Just after the man in black dodged several more spear attacks, Xu Ying suddenly jumped up to the man in black, feinted with his sword from above, and kicked the man in black to the lower body with a side kick.
The man in black reacted very quickly, bending his body and sweeping backwards.
Before his sweeping figure could stop, Xu Ting jumped up behind him and kicked him in the lower back.
The man in black touched the ground with his toes, did a backward somersault in the air, and passed over Xu Ting's head. At this time, Xu Fei also came forward and reached out with both palms to grab his shoulders.
I thought I was sure to catch this, but I didn't expect that the man in black did another somersault in the air and passed over Xu Fei's head. Such dexterity and powerful explosive power are really astonishing.
.
But at the moment when his feet landed on the ground, Xuying, not knowing the right time, dodged behind him again, reached forward with his arms, hugged the man in black's waist, and then let out a loud shout, and both of them fell down.
On the ground.
The man in black struggled hard to break away from Xu Ying's embrace, but the surrounding Yulin guards had already swarmed up, and the sharp points of their halberds and spears were pressing against the head and body of the man in black.
Xuying breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the man in black, stood up from the ground, and then pulled the scarf off the man in black's face.
Taking a closer look, he saw that the other person was a fair-faced young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a good appearance and handsome features, but his eyes were not kind. He glared at Xu Ying and the surrounding Yu Linwei, and his eyes almost burst out of fire.
Seeing this, Xuying snorted coldly, shook his head and shouted: "Take it down!" Following his order, two Yulin guards brought ropes, pulled his shoulders and back, and tied the young man in black tightly.
.
At this time, the crowd separated to the left and right, and Liu Xiu walked over.
Seeing Liu Xiu coming, the young man in black subconsciously jumped towards him, but at this time he was tied up by Wu Hua Da, and there were two burly Yulin guards holding him down, so he naturally couldn't hit Liu Xiu.
show.
Even though they were already captured, they still dared to be rude to His Majesty. The two Yulin Guards were not polite either. Each of them punched the young man in black hard on the stomach, causing the latter to groan and his body followed suit.
It softened.
Liu Xiu looked the young man up and down, then turned to look at Xuying. The latter understood, walked up to the young man in black, and searched his body carefully.
There are quite a lot of bits and pieces on the young man in black. There are five or six small porcelain bottles alone. There are also flying claws, sleeve arrows, daggers, flints, etc.
There was a big pile of miscellaneous bits and pieces. Liu Xiu took a quick look, then his eyes fell on the face of the young man in black again, and asked: "What's your name?"
"I call you ancestor!"
The young man in black opened his mouth and cursed. Not surprisingly, his rude words also attracted punches and kicks from the guards around him.
This fist and kick was much harder than before, and he was beaten to death. After a short time, the body of the young man in black was bent into a ball on the ground.
Liu Xiu waved his hand, and all the guards stopped and stepped back one after another. Liu Xiu lowered his head and saw that the young man had been beaten with blood from his mouth and nose, and his eyes were so swollen that he could hardly open his eyes. Liu Xiu said: "Take him down and interrogate him strictly.
!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Xu Ting, Xu Fei responded, lifted the young man in black from the ground and personally took him to Yeting Prison.
Weiyang Palace is also a royal palace, and there is also Yeting Prison in the palace, but it is currently idle. The young man in black has the honor to become the first prisoner of Weiyang Palace's Yeting Prison.
Xu Ting and Xu Fei personally interrogated the young man in black, while Xu Ying took a group of elite guards to check around the palace.
They must find out whether the young man in black sneaked into Weiyang Palace on his own or was secretly let in by someone from Weiyang Palace.
If it is the former, it means that there are big loopholes in the guards of Weiyang Palace. If it is the latter, then the problem is serious, and it means that there is a trick of the enemy in the palace.
Liu Xiu returned to the dormitory. Within half an hour, Xuying came to Liu Xiu and said that he had found out where the assassin sneaked in.
Liu Xiu followed Xuying to check. They came to the west side of Weiyang Palace, which was relatively quiet. Near a palace wall, there was a towering old tree.
The old tree has so many branches and leaves that it takes two adults to hold it together. Some of the upper branches have already crossed the palace wall and have grown outside the palace wall.
Xu Ying was dexterous and climbed up the tree trunk. When he came to a branch, he stamped his feet and said: "Your Majesty, the assassin climbed into the palace along this branch. Above,
It still leaves a mark!”
Liu Xiu first looked at the old tree, then looked around, and asked: "Isn't this tree taken care of?" It stands to reason that a tree like this with branches growing outside the palace wall, even if the tree itself is not
If it is cut off, the branches will also be cut off.
Following his question, a Yulin captain came out and came to Liu Xiu. He knelt down and kowtowed forward. With beads of sweat on his forehead, he said in a trembling voice: "It's... it was due to an oversight by a minor official.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Liu Xiu looked at the Captain Yulin and his face darkened.
Because he was invulnerable to all poisons, he managed to escape this time. What if he was not invulnerable to all poisons? What if the other party did not poison him but used a crossbow? He might not even know how he died!
After being silent for a long time, Liu Xiu said: "We will investigate and deal with it! In addition, summon Wei Qing to Chang'an as soon as possible!"
Wei Weiqing, also known as Wei Wei, is the second condition of the first and second periods of Zhao.
This time the assassin successfully sneaked into the Weiyang Palace to carry out the assassination, which shocked Liu Xiu into a cold sweat. At the same time, Liu Xiu realized that the environment in Chang'an was much more dangerous than that in Luoyang. After all, it was too far away from Wei Xiao, Gongsun Shu, and Lu Fang.
Close.
Xuying intervened and saluted, waved to the guards on the side, and two Yulin guards stepped forward, took off Captain Yulin's helmet and weapons, and pulled him down.
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life——"
Liu Xiu's face was as dark as water, and she said to Xuying: "No matter what, if I pry open the assassin's mouth, I must know who ordered him!"
"Here!" Xuying bowed and responded.
Liu Xiu raised his head again, looked at the old tree in front of him, said nothing more, and turned back to the palace.
The next day, Weiyang Palace issued two edicts, one to build a temple for Feng's mother, and the other to summon Wei Wei Yaoqi and Huya General Gai Yan to Chang'an to report on his duties.
When Feng Yi heard that His Majesty was going to build a temple for his mother, he was shocked and hurriedly informed Liu Xiu, thinking that he was truly worthy of His Majesty's honor.
Liu Xiuyou received Feng Yi's edict, but ignored it and sent the edict to Yingchuan.
After receiving the order from Liu Xiu, Yao Qi and Gai Yan rushed to Chang'an without delay. They were accompanied by another person, Hua Feiyan.
At noon, after Liu Xiu had lunch, Xu Ting and Xu Fei came to see Liu Xiu. Seeing the two of them, Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up and asked: "Did the assassin confess?"
Xu Ting and Xu Fei nodded together and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the assassin has confessed." As he spoke, Xu Fei handed over a volume of confession.
Liu Xiu opened the bamboo slips and took a closer look. The assassin's name was Jin Tong, and he was a subordinate of Wei Xiao. Jin Tong was less than twenty years old and he was not famous, but he had a famous elder brother, Jin Dan.
Jin Dan is an extraordinary person. He is one of the most famous rangers in Longxi and a Taoist master. At first, Kai Xiao spent a lot of money to recruit Jin Dan and wanted to take him as a disciple, but Jin Dan did not agree. However, Kai Xiao
He is really persevering in his talent, and after repeated invitations, Jin Dan was finally moved by Kai Xiao. However, Jin Dan was not a retainer at Kai Xiao's place, but a guest. In other words, he was not a subordinate of Wei Xiao, but a guest.
Kaixiao's guests.
There is another person who has the same honor as Jin Dan, that is Du Ling. Du Ling is also a ranger, and he has an irreversible friendship with Jin Dan. There are many followers under Wei Xiao's command, but Du Ling and Jin Dan are only guests, not followers.
Wei Xiao sent an army of 100,000 people to capture Anding and the two northern counties, but was killed by the Western Expeditionary Army. The entire army was wiped out, and only two thousand people including Zhou Zong escaped.
This made Kai Xiao furious, and also made him feel a chill running down his spine.
Although Liu Xiu's attack on Hanyang was defeated, the Han army was still too capable. Now the Han army is not attacking because of insufficient food and grass. Once the Han army has enough food and grass in the autumn, will our side be able to survive?
On the frontal battlefield, it was difficult to get any benefits against the Han army, so Wei Xiao retreated and turned to Liu Xiu. As long as Liu Xiu died, the Han Dynasty would be in civil strife, and the Han army would also be in trouble.
There is no time to attack yourself.
But it was not easy to kill Liu Xiu. Wei Xiao had trained many dead soldiers, but even if he sent out all these dead soldiers, they might not be able to harm Liu Xiu. After much thought, Wei Xiao thought of the golden elixir.
Jin Dan's martial arts has been cultivated to the point of perfection. As long as Jin Dan is willing to take action, it is not impossible to assassinate Liu Xiu.
For this reason, Wei Xiao specially hosted a banquet for Jin Dan. During the banquet, he asked Jin Dan to assassinate Liu Xiu.
Jin Dan is both a ranger and a Taoist. He hates fighting and killing.
If you discuss with him how to cultivate your character, how to refine elixirs and cultivate Taoism, he will welcome him to the extreme and let him kill people, and even assassinate Liu Xiu. Jindan rejected Wei Xiao on the spot.
No matter what Wei Xiao said or tried to persuade, Jin Dan's attitude was very firm and he just didn't agree.
Jin Dan refused to let go, and there was nothing Kui Xiao could do against him. After all, Jin Dan was not his subordinate, just his guest. After thinking about it, Wei Xiao decided to target Jin Dan's younger brother, Jin Tong.
Jin Tong's strength is naturally far inferior to that of Jin Dan, but since he is young and energetic, he is easier to be exploited. As long as Jin Tong is persuaded, the matter will be mostly successful.
It's very simple. If Jin Tong succeeds, there is no need for Jin Dan to take action again. If Jin Tong misses and is killed by Liu Xiu, then can Jin Dan still sit back and ignore the revenge of killing his younger brother?
Therefore, as long as Jin Tong is persuaded, the result will be beneficial to him, whether he succeeds or not.
Wei Xiao secretly came to Jin Tong and talked a lot with Jin Tong. What he said impressed Jin Tong.
Everyone knows about Jin Dan, but no one knows who you, Jin Tong, are. Even if you have outstanding martial arts skills, you are destined to live under the reputation of your eldest brother for the rest of your life.
If you want to change this, if you want the world to know you, Jin Tong, you must do something earth-shattering. There is nothing more earth-shattering than the assassination of Liu Xiu.
