Above the dark sky, the bright moon hangs high, and a few stars are scattered, dotting the night sky.
On a certain peak on the southwest side of the West Lake, a burly man wearing black night clothes stood on the top of the boulder, staring at the West Lake in the distance, his eyes full of cunning and calculation.
On the edge of the West Lake, an exquisite and clear figure jumped out of the water like a fish, and then lay close to the ground on the shore.
Before anyone could see her clearly, the person jumped up from the ground very quickly, possessed a low body, and moved towards the southwest at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this scene, the face of the figure on the peak couldn't help but change. He immediately turned his head and looked at the West Lake on the other side.
At this moment, a figure wearing dark blue brocade clothes jumped up from the water and stood directly on top of the clippers coming to rescue from all around.
The figure seemed to sense that someone was watching, and subconsciously turned back to look at the peak from a distance.
His face was clearly visible, and he was clearly the target of their assassination this time, Li Xuan, the prince of Nanchang County.
However, there seemed to be a difference in light and shadow. Li Xuan did not see the figure on the boulder on the mountain. He quickly turned back and said something to Wei Gong who came over with an anxious look on his face. Chinese website
The figure on the mountain just breathed a sigh of relief, and then gritted his teeth and whispered: "Damn it, it failed, and Xin Jian was trapped here, what happened? What is the intelligence of Luoyang and Yangzhou sub-rudders? , Damn it, they made a huge deviation in their intelligence collection on the King of Nanchang."
The voice was very familiar, and it turned out to be Wang Chao, the deputy head of the Wanxiang Pavilion who had previously passed on the assassination figure to Zong Ling and Xin Jian.
He did not participate in this assassination. Instead, he watched everything from the top of the mountain.
Wang Chao's expression soon became extremely solemn. The failure of the assassination was not the most important thing. They were just two stupid young men who were being used anyway. What was really troublesome was the accuracy of Wanxiang Pavilion's intelligence collection on Li Xuan.
Once this aspect is questioned, their status in the Holy Religion will be quickly reduced.
"It seems like it's time to find an opportunity to strengthen the intelligence penetration around King Nanchang." Wang Chao pondered, and his eyes subconsciously turned to Zong Ling's position.
However, it didn't matter what he saw, Wang Chao was almost frightened to the point of his heart stopping.
Because at this moment, on the distant road, two middle-aged men in police uniforms were quickly chasing Zong Ling.
One of them also held a long bow in his hand, shooting arrows at Zong Ling's position from time to time.
Every arrow was extremely dangerous. Time and time again, Zong Ling tried his best to avoid the arrows.
Then she ran as fast as she could toward the southwest, but her speed still slowed down visibly.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chao's expression on the top of the mountain became extremely embarrassing.
"Damn it, why did the Hangzhou government officials come so quickly?" Wang Chao quickly turned around and ran down the mountain.
He couldn't ignore the clan spirit.
At the very least, they must kill Zong Ling first before they bring those they are chasing to their hiding base to avoid the leakage of more secret messages.
Pursuit, bullshit pursuit, this is obviously playing a long game to catch the big fish.
That is to say, Zong Ling was in the middle of the situation and couldn't see clearly, so he had to flee towards the hiding base under the shadow of death hanging over his head.
Wang Chao must not let Zong Ling lead these people to their hiding base.
Although that place has little connection with their demon sect, the owner of that place is related to a key figure in the Tianyin Sect's uprising.
Once the connection between them is broken and the identity of the key person is exposed, their plot in Hangzhou will be interrupted immediately, and it will even indirectly affect the overall situation.
Wang Chao quickly ran down the mountain. In his eagerness to run, he didn't even see Li Xuan on the lake once again focusing on the position where he was standing. It wasn't until he completely disappeared that Li Xuan withdrew his gaze.
The moon and stars are sparse, and Li Xuan's gaze falls from the West Lake
He retracted the reflected sky, and then looked at Wei Gong, Wei Heng, and Su Yu, who had a solemn expression on the side.
As a judicial official of the Hangzhou Prefecture, Li Xuan, the current county king, was assassinated under his nose by Wuzhou Biejia. No matter what conflicts there were before, Su Yu had to rush to investigate as soon as possible.
Standing on the deck, Li Xuan took the towel handed over by Qiu Zhenmu and wiped it while saying: "One of the two assassins killed this time has died in the lake. You can send people down to salvage the body. Maybe we can find something, the other one has just escaped, but Xu Captou from the Governor's Mansion has already led his men to chase him."
"Your Highness has already known that someone will come to assassinate you tonight?" Su Yu immediately heard the most important words in Li Xuan's words.
Xu Baotou, Xu Baotou of Hangzhou Governor's Office.
The arresting officer of the Hangzhou Governor's Mansion, who was nominally under Su Yu's command, had arrived here in advance, but Su Yu knew nothing about it. The hidden secret behind this made him shudder.
"Of course." Li Xuan said with a smile but not a smile, with a teasing look in his eyes: "When I was in Yangzhou, I severely wounded the Tianyin Sect more than once. Now that I have arrived in Hangzhou, I must always be on guard against the Tianyin Sect's assassinations that may come at any time. You guys. Look, this is what’s coming.”
After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with deep meaning: "Kai Weng, although it is known to everyone that I have accepted your invitation to come to the West Lake today, but this time I will be assassinated, the Wei family will be indispensable. I need to give some explanation."
"Of course. Fortunately, the prince is not in trouble. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to the governor and how to explain to the court." Wei Gong looked guilty, then turned to look at his son Wei Heng and said, "Still stunned. Why don't you send the prince ashore quickly..."
"Don't worry." Li Xuan's light voice came. He turned back to Qiu Zhenmu and Su Baotong and said, "Brother Qiu, Brother Su, you go to the ship now to check if someone has tipped off the news. When will I come on board?" Not everyone can see the boat at all times.”
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Wei Gong's face immediately turned pale.
However, Li Xuan immediately said: "I forgot to introduce you, this is Brother Qiu Zhen Muchiu, the eldest grandson of the former Duke of Xicheng County. This is Brother Su Baotong. Brother Su's ancestral home is Wuyi, Jizhou, and he is the grandson of the late Duke of Xing. Su Canjun is from Youzhou, not far from Jizhou, so he must have some kind of kinship with him."
"I've met my uncle!" Su Baotong was the first to salute. Whether it was the Su family in Youzhou or the Su family in Jizhou, their ancestors were Emperor Zhuanxu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor. The son of Fan Kunwubo, the sixth generation of the Gaoyang family, was granted the title of Su, and the Su family in history began with this.
The Su family in Youzhou and the Su family in Jizhou are close to each other. Their ancestors are the same Su Qing, the former Yannagong, and they were the same family more than a hundred years ago.
"I have met my good nephew." Su Yu returned the greeting seriously. As a member of the same clan, Su Yu naturally knew the inheritance of Xing Guogong Su Dingfang.
Li Xuan revealed Su Baotong's identity, and Su Yu couldn't help but be a little worried.
Wei Gong is an old fox. Of course he knows what Li Xuan means.
He could only raise his hands with helplessness and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to deal with this matter?"
"How to deal with it?" Li Xuan looked at Kui Gong with a half-smile, and said softly: "Of course everything will be handled according to the law. Su Canjun is here today, and Hangzhou Fa Cao's men will surely arrive soon, so he will leave it to Su Canjun. Just deal with it."
Wei Gong subconsciously looked at Su Yu. Su Yu shook his head slightly with a solemn expression, and then looked up at the pier on the east bank of the West Lake in the distance.
Wei Gong followed Su Yu's gaze and saw that there was nothing there.
Wei Gong was slightly startled, but then, as if he had figured out something, his expression couldn't help but change.
At this time, Li Xuan's cold voice came: "Tonight, we will hunt down the rebel bandits of the Tianyin Sect. We are going all the way together. I think we should be able to gain something. As for who will be implicated in the end, I don't know."
"I understand." Kui Gong bowed deeply and said, "At today's banquet, Mr. Qi Ming had a quarrel with the prince, and then the Tianyin Sect was triggered. At this moment, the prince was assassinated, and the lower officials, as well as all the officials and students on the ship, could do it. certificate."
"Weng Wei, this is what you said. I have not done anything to force you." Li Xuan looked at him with a half-smile.
Wei Gong immediately nodded and said very firmly: "Of course it is, but, Your Majesty, how do you want to explain to Governor Yuan?"
"You can't really think that because of such a big action tonight, I didn't inform Governor Yuan."
