Hou Junji and Li Junxian looked at each other, neither of them knew what to say.
The dignified Minister of War, together with the Zhonglang generals guarding the imperial city, did not even protect a Tibetan prince.
The key is to meet Du He, a pervert.
Both of them also knew that as long as Du He was here, Gongsong Zanbu would definitely die today.
But no one expected that the person who killed Gongsong Zanbu turned out to be a young man who appeared out of nowhere.
This can't be tolerated.
Hou Junji was furious, pointed at Xu Zhengdao and said: "Catch him and take him back to the palace. Your Majesty will personally hold him accountable."
Xu Zhengdao seemed to be drunk, but he knew very well that the forbidden soldiers in front of him were not easy to mess with, so he turned around and ran away. He jumped onto the roof next to him, stepped on the tiles, and started running fast.
Not only does this guy have superb swordsmanship, but he is also very good at lightness kung fu.
The imperial army divided two-thirds to pursue Xu Zhengdao. Du He glanced into the distance and winked at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu understood and rushed forward, running into the middle of a dozen marching troops. When he looked again, he had already carried Gongsong Zanbu's body on his shoulders and ran out, but he ran towards the outside of the city without looking back.
.
Du He shouted: "The wind is tight, pull!"
Rumble.
A dozen bombardiers hurriedly dragged the cannon back to the carriage and ran away with Du He.
By the time Li Junxian and Hou Junji reacted, Du He had disappeared.
Li Junxian had a bitter expression on his lips and said, "Master Hou, now... I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to His Majesty, right?"
Hou Junji sighed: "I can't help it. Who made Du He so powerful... Let's talk about that Xiaohei, no, the cannon. Even if the Imperial Guards come forward today, they may not be able to stop him. What's more, we only have this.
The manpower, but the young man in white, must catch him no matter what, otherwise, His Majesty will blame you, and it will be uncomfortable for both you and me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a carriage speeding towards him in the distance.
The carriage stopped hastily, and Du Ruhui and Zhao Yang got out.
Zhao Yang asked in surprise: "Why is this place so quiet without the Lantian County Prince?"
Li Junxian pointed to the wall that was blasted with a gap not far away, and said: "Gongsong Zanbu is dead, and his body was taken away by Du He."
Zhao Yang was immediately stunned.
Du Ruhui came over with a look of sorrow on his face, "Oh, it's all my fault. I came late, otherwise He'er wouldn't have done such a thing... I'll go and apologize to Your Majesty right now!"
Everyone: "..."
Du Xiang, Du Xiang, can your expression be more serious when you speak?
No matter how you look at it, Du Ruhui's lips look like he is smiling.
…
The motorcade left Chang'an City with great momentum, but Du He left the motorcade halfway through.
In a quiet alley, Zhang Jian and Du He hurriedly walked inside.
Zhang Jian asked curiously as he walked: "Master, now that your Majesty knows about this, he will definitely blame me. If I stay in Chang'an City, I'm afraid it will be a lot of inconvenience."
Du He nodded: "How could I not know this, but before leaving, we must find Xu Zhengdao and take him away with him. That boy is like a drunkard, with superb swordsmanship and martial arts. He is actually a man.
It's a pity that this is Chang'an City. As long as His Majesty's secret guards are dispatched, he will have nowhere to hide. If I don't take action, he will be dead..."
Du He became more and more interested in Xu Zhengdao.
That boy was dressed in white, he looked cool and free, and whenever he saw an uneven road, he fired both arrows at once. He was indeed a rare hero.
It would be a pity if such a person was dragged and executed by Li Er.
The two of them quickly walked through the alleys, and finally came to the headquarters of Venomous Fang, which was in a messy short courtyard deep in the slums. No one could tell that this courtyard was actually where Du He's intelligence agency was located.
Before entering, Du He took out a mask and covered his face.
Du He entered the courtyard and found that there were more than a dozen people waiting.
Some of these people were gorgeously dressed, some were dressed like beggars, and some were even as coquettish as the beautiful dancer from De Yue Lou.
Anyway, as long as they are spread out, no one will think of their true identities.
Zhang Jian went up and whispered, and everyone shouted in unison: "Hello, boss!"
This is the requirement mentioned in the manual Du He gave to Zhang Jian before.
Du He held his voice and said, "Okay, follow Zhang Jian's instructions and set off immediately to find the whereabouts of the young man in white. Those who participate today will be rewarded heavily."
Everyone looked happy.
…
Royal Palace.
When Li Er got the news, he was immediately furious.
The new table that had just been installed fell apart again with his slap.
He pointed at Hou Junji and Li Junxian, "Haozhi, Lang Ji, you two can be considered veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, but you couldn't even stop Du He. Du He only had twenty-something men with him."
Are the guards of a furniture factory as powerful as the Forbidden Army?"
Hou Junji said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I underestimated Du He. However, the people Du He brought did not take action. Now he has invented something more terrifying than explosives, called
Xiaohei, also known as a cannon, can trigger distant explosions hundreds of steps away. It exploded twice at that time, once to destroy a wall of the courtyard, and once to collapse all the houses in the courtyard.
Otherwise, Gongsong Zanbu would not have run away, and he would not have been shot by the mysterious young man in white..."
When Li Er heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
"When did such a powerful thing exist in the world?"
Hou Junji and Li Junxian shook their heads.
"Your Majesty, I have lived for most of my life and have never seen this thing before. It must have been created by Du He again..."
Snapped.
Li Eryi slapped his palm on the pillar next to him and said: "Send the order and order Li Shiji and Niu Jinda to set off immediately to the land west of Hexi to take precautions to prevent the Tibetan people from retaliating. Send the order to the auxiliary engines to start dispatching immediately and prepare for half a year.
The grain and grass are transported to the border."
Everyone present knew that a war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty seemed inevitable.
Songtsen Gampo was originally a militant and had been sending troops to harass the Tang border. Now that his son was killed in Chang'an, how could he not start a war?
Li Er rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Du He, Du He, you can really cause me trouble..."
Immediately, Li Er said: "Send the secret guards out and make sure to catch the young man in white. I want to see who Fang Xiaoxiao dares to kill in front of the imperial army."
"Also, bring Du He to me in the palace. I will question him face to face. He is my son-in-law and my minister. How dare he act so boldly and blatantly disobey my orders? Does he still have me in his eyes?"
Li Er said almost roaring.
"yes!"
Hou Junji and Li Junxian immediately took the order, and together with Wen Buren, all the secret guards who had been dormant in the dark were mobilized to search for the mysterious young man in white.
Suddenly, the city of Chang'an was in a storm.
Even though Li Er had arranged for someone to suppress the news of Gongsong Zanbu's death, the news still spread quietly.
When everyone heard that Du He actually killed the Tibetan prince in front of the imperial army, they all felt that this guy was crazy.
