Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 210 Found you!

Inside the bedroom.

Wang Xiaojie is studying the Tibetan language seriously, even correcting his own mouth shape in front of the mirror.

Don't be misled by the vagueness of the bronze mirror in TV dramas. In fact, the bronze mirror used by the ancients is a copper-tin alloy, and the proportion of tin is relatively high. After the mirror is polished, it is very bright and can be seen quite clearly.

Bronze mirrors are not as good as glass mirrors of later generations because they are bulky and expensive, and after oxidation, they need to be re-polished by craftsmen.

This shortcoming is fatal to the poor, but it is not a problem at all to the nobles.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even Tubo has no shortage of bronze mirrors.

However, Zanpu didn't like mirrors before, and the only few bronze mirrors were very old to see his weak and weak appearance.

After Zanpu was traded in for new ones, there were obviously more good mirrors in the bedroom.

The concubine will do her makeup in front of the mirror these days, and she will not stop until Wang Xiaojie urges her.

It's just that she was obviously not in that mood today, staring nervously outside the palace, waiting for news.

Soon, Zhudan sent someone to report: "Guri Qianhu and Sanan Qianhu, each leading their elite men, are still lingering in front of the palace!"

The princess said: "Did you find out the reason?"

The guard said: "A few days ago they had a small conflict with the Imperial Guards of the East City, and today they want to ask Chamo Qianhu for an explanation."

The concubine gritted her teeth and said, "Dare to block the palace with a small excuse. This is to tear your face and directly enter the palace!"

She stood up and spun around, her voice unavoidably panicked: "We only have a thousand soldiers in our hands, plus Zhu Dan's hundreds of people, can we stop it?"

At this moment, Wang Xiaojie's indifferent voice came: "Don't worry, the other party is bluffing."

The concubine frowned: "Guri and Sanan are both loyal to the Gar family. Other thousand household heads may hesitate, but they really dare to do it!"

Wang Xiaojie said without raising his head: "There is a saying in the art of war, if ten times, surround them, if five times, attack them, if twice as many, divide them!"

"There are only two heads of thousands of households on the opposite side. They neither occupy the peace of righteous people nor have the advantage of the royal palace. If they really rush in, they will fall into a trap of their own. I will lead a thousand guards of the East City, and I will definitely be able to take them down!"

"If Zanzi is so stupid, you don't have to worry about it."

The concubine is not an idle person, she nodded deeply when she heard the words: "It's true...it's true!"

Her eyes fluttered, and she came behind Wang Xiaojie, and her gentle tone deliberately carried a bit of admiration: "Your Majesty is calm and composed, you really have the demeanor of a king of a country!"

Wang Xiaojie said: "Don't talk about those useless things, hurry up and teach me Tibetan!"

princess:"……"

Make a fist and start teaching.

……

"If Zan Xi doesn't give up, he's going to assassinate again!"

While the two of them were learning foreign languages ​​in the hall, Li Yan looked into the distance and made a judgment.

Zhu Dan and Yang Zaisi stood around him, with solemn expressions: "Will that powerful assassin make a move?"

After thinking for a while, Li Yan said, "You two go and bring Shen Juyuan here."

Not long after, Shen Juyuan was escorted in front of him.

After being imprisoned for several days, he looked obviously haggard. When he got out of the prison, he immediately cheered up: "Yuan Fang, have you caught the murderer and proved my innocence?"

Li Yan shook his head: "We haven't caught it yet, but we can do a simple elimination method. If Zanpu is assassinated again tonight, the assassin will still be the same person with the same body shape and facial features as you last time. Wouldn't you be innocent?" ?”

Shen Juyuan was overjoyed: "Yes, that's the reason, the assassin hastened to come!"

Zhu Dan immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Li Yandao: "Brother Zaisi, now divide the envoys into two teams. You lead ten martial arts guards to guard Shen Juyuan in the prison, and Broadcom is responsible for protecting you. Remember, you must ensure that Shen Juyuan is always in your sight, and the rest Responsible for the safety of Li Gong, Wan'er, the little prince and others."

Yang Zaisi took the order: "Yes!"

Li Yan said again: "General Zhudan, you and the palace guards are guarding outside the bedroom to prevent assassins from hurting Zanpu and the princess. No matter what happens around you, don't leave. It will be very dangerous tonight. You must be mentally prepared!"

Zhu Dan took the order: "Yes!"

On your marks.

Li Yan sat in front of the hall, with the chain knife on his side, and his brows were peaceful.

It is better to be still than to move, and he began to practice consciousness-only strength.

Gradually, the breathing became softer and softer, and the breath of the whole person disappeared faintly, as if blending with the surroundings.

It was dark, and candles were lit.

The quarrel outside the palace was still going on, and the voice could be heard faintly. The Imperial Guards of the East City had been standing nervously in front of the palace gate, not daring to leave.

Since Tubo didn't have the sound of shifting in Chang'an City, and had no specific concept of time, I don't know how long it had passed. When the guards were unavoidably distracted, Li Yan's eyes suddenly fixed and locked in the darkness.

A black shadow flashed past and disappeared.

"Want to divert the tiger away from the mountain? Why don't you just pretend to be a ghost?"

Li Yan smiled coldly in his heart, stood still, and shouted: "Be careful, the assassin is coming!"

Zhu Dan and the other guards got up their spirits, gripped the weapons in their hands, and were about to step forward.

Li Yan immediately said: "All stand in place, the enemy's traces have been found, and set up a defensive formation!"

Zhu Dan said: "I'll go and inform the imperial guards to come over. The two thousand household heads outside are just trying to make a fool of themselves, so don't worry about it!"

Li Yan shook his head: "Who are you sending now? Including yourself, you will definitely be intercepted and killed on the way. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, just stay here and protect Zanpu and the princess!"

Zhu Dan took a deep breath: "Understood!"

The guards stood in place, arranged their formation, held their weapons firmly, and looked into the darkness where the candlelight could not shine, without blinking their eyes.

The surroundings became quiet, except for the sound of burning torches, there was no other sound at all.

Under the concentrated precautions, the guard's hand holding the weapon turned pale because of too much force, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

The assassin hidden in the darkness was also extremely patient and remained motionless.

The two sides stalemate.

One quarter of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour.

Seeing that half an hour was about to pass, the long-term mental tension finally made the guards reach their limit, and some of their hands trembled slightly.

"Don't be tough if you can't hold it... that's bad!"

Li Yan looked at the six directions, and was about to let those who couldn't hold on go back, when his face suddenly changed, and the chain knife was unsheathed.

But with a flash of the blade, the target was not close combat, but the blade and handle flew away, a chain connected the blade, and the target was several meters away.

"Ding!!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a crossbow arrow was stopped at the critical moment and fell in front of the guards.

With a twist of Li Yan's wrist, the blade returned to the sheath: "Stand back!"

The man narrowly escaped death, showing great gratitude, and hurriedly backed away.

But Li Yan looked at the exquisite crossbow and his face sank. This man's martial arts were stronger than he had guessed, and his methods were more difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, just a moment later, screams sounded not far away.

The guard on the edge was shot through the throat by a crossbow arrow and unfortunately died.

Li Yan stood still.

His chain knife can separate the blade and attack the enemy from a long distance, but the length of the chain is limited, so it can't take care of the whole audience.

If you act rashly at this time, you will only be led by the nose by the enemy.

Zhu Dan was obviously aware of this, and said loudly: "Vice Envoy Li, leave us alone, the assassin is afraid of you!"

Li Yan nodded, focused his attention further, and kept looking around, searching for the other party's trace.

But it was too dark.

After all, the lighting space of the candle is limited, and the range of the crossbow easily surpasses it.

As long as the angle is tricky, the target can be shot from an unexpected angle.

If the positions were switched, Li Yan could hide in the dark, and he could shoot the exposed guards one by one with a bow and arrow.

Who takes the initiative to attack is really important.

There was a cold light in his eyes, silently gaining momentum.

"Eye consciousness cannot pierce darkness, but ear consciousness can."

"It's a pity that my time to practice consciousness-only strength is still too short, and I still can't comprehend the ear consciousness."

The first five consciousnesses are the consciousness-only consciousness, eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, and body consciousness. Li Yan has been trying to open the ear consciousness during this period.

The cooperation of the two senses can definitely greatly enhance his senses, making it impossible for enemies hiding in the dark to hide.

However, this power known as the number one in Buddhism is indeed mysterious, and Li Yan has never fully comprehended the second consciousness.

Until now, seeing the guards fell to the ground, the assassin could not shake his resolve, and he did not waste any more arrows, and his murderous intent was completely locked on.

Murderous intent is pervasive, and the sense of oppression in the darkness is pervasive.

A cold look, erratic, constantly patrolling the whole body, looking for weaknesses.

The two sides returned to confrontation again.

At first, Li Yan's heartbeat accelerated, and his whole body's energy and blood rushed, entering the best state to meet the enemy.

But gradually, his heartbeat became stable again, his eyes drooped slightly, and he began to listen to the sounds around him.

rustle!rustle!
That was the sound of the guard's subconscious rubbing against the ground.

Gum!Gum!
It was the sound of the guard swallowing subconsciously in nervousness.

Suck!Hoo hoo!
That was the sound of many guards breathing...

When the sounds from all around came into his ears clearly, Li Yan finally realized the wonder of ear consciousness.

listen to the sound!Analysis!Solution!

Each sound is like a series of knowledge points, which are disassembled and refined, and come alive on the paper.

However, just like when the first awareness of eyesight, the induction is fleeting, and sometimes it is not effective.

Soon, he lost this sense of hearing everything again.

Li Yan was not in a hurry, and looked at the achievement point with a peaceful mind.

After improving luck, there are 874 points left.

The most important attribute for practicing martial arts is undoubtedly the physique corresponding to the root bone aptitude.

But there is another attribute, which is also related to the practice of martial arts.

"Use 400 achievement points."

"Increase 2 points of wisdom."

[Wisdom: 11 (increased mental agility)] → [Wisdom: 13 (wisdom aura, mental agility)]

External oppression.

inner lift.

The internal and external conditions for cultivating consciousness-only strength are complete, and after a while, the subtle voice floods into the ears again, and the breathing around is clearly audible.

Li Yan's ears twitched slightly, listening one after another, excluding one after another.

Finally, a brand new breathing sound appeared, with a rhythm different from that of all the palace guards.

Li Yan suddenly turned his head and looked to the rear right.

Yiyi's eyes seemed to drive away the darkness, locking on to a figure holding a crossbow and hiding.

"Got you!!"
