Chapter 379
"Assassin, catch the assassin!"

When Linjiang Palace remembered the noise of arresting assassins, Li Ke felt rather strange, and looked at each other with Wang Xuance, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Linjiang Palace in Yangzhou is not an exaggeration to call it a dragon pool and a tiger's den. Linjiang Palace was originally the palace of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, with high walls on the outside and strong walls on the inside.

In addition, Li Ke is stationed here, the entire outer courtyard of Linjiang Palace is stationed with about [-] elite guards and leopard cavalry, and there are nearly a hundred elite guards of the Chu Palace in the inner courtyard. , even if the [-] troops of the Hanjiang Mansion in Yangzhou attacked by force, it would be extremely difficult to take it down. Who is so courageous to come to Jiang Palace to assassinate?
"What's going on outside the house?" Li Ke heard the noise outside, and asked Xi Junmai who was guarding outside.

Li Ke summoned, and Xi Junmai asked clearly after a while, and then he entered the door and replied to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness, it is Brother You Xiaowei who is patrolling the northwest corner courtyard, and sent a few assassins who sneaked in through the back door. Capture it."

The backyard of Linjiang Palace is mostly occupied by domestic servants, and there are also kitchens and horse farms. People often come in and out, so the security and control of the back door is not as strict as that of the front door and side door. Come in, it is really surprising.

Li Ke asked: "There is such a thing, but have you ever found out how the thief got in?"

Xi Junmai replied: "They have an internal response in the palace, and they got in by lying about the carriage delivering rice and vegetables."

Linjiang Palace covers an area of ​​more than [-] hectares, and there are nearly a thousand people in the palace, including followers, guards, and house slaves. The daily consumption of firewood, rice, oil, salt and various colors is huge, so there will be horse-drawn carriages from outside every day to deliver every day in the palace. For daily needs, these assassins sneaked in together with these food delivery people.

Although the matter was in the backyard, there appeared in the Linjiang Palace someone who knew the enemy inside and outside. Li Ke couldn't help showing a trace of anger on his face when he heard this.

"Follow me to take a look." Li Ke just finished speaking, raised the saber in his hand and walked towards the direction of the sound.

Li Ke was born in the army, under the tutelage of the famous general Qin Shubao, his martial arts skills are good, a few assassins can't hurt him face to face, Xi Junmai didn't dissuade him, so he went with Li Ke.

When Li Ke and Xi Junmai rushed to the northwest corner of the courtyard, nearly a hundred people were already crowded in a relatively spacious courtyard, and in a corner of the courtyard, those assassins who came in were pinned down in the corner and could not move.

"Your Highness is coming down, Your Highness is coming down." As soon as Li Ke entered the courtyard, the You Xiao guards in the courtyard saw Li Ke and gave way one after another.

When Li Ke walked up to the people, Qin Huaidao, who was leading the crowd to capture the thief, told Li Ke, "Your Highness, it's Wen Qing'er."

"Wen Qing'er?" Li Ke heard the words and looked up. Sure enough, among the five people who were pinned down by a group of You Xiao guards with guns in the corner, one was Wen Qing'er whom Li Ke knew.

When Li Ke saw Wen Qing'er for the first time, he was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that Wen Qing'er came here this time probably not to assassinate him, but to take away Zuo Youxian's body.After all, relying on the five people who sneaked into the outer court to try to kill Li Ke is tantamount to fantasy.

Li Ke pressed his hand, signaled the guards in the courtyard to temporarily put down their bows and arrows, and then said to Qing'er, "You guys are so capable that you can even reach out to my king's Linjiang Palace. Come in."

Qing'er looked at Li Ke in front of her, and the hatred in her heart became more and more serious. She said to Li Ke: "The Tang monarch and ministers have no way, and the people in the world want to kill them so quickly that they don't know how much they want to kill. What is a mere Linjiang Palace?"

Li Ke snorted softly, and said, "What a big tone, if you have such abilities, how could you be captured here?"

Although Wen Qing'er was a prisoner, she replied unyieldingly: "So what can you do if you capture me, I have countless eyeliners in Linjiang Palace, and sooner or later I will take your life."

After hearing Wen Qing'er's words, Li Ke had a smile on his face.

If Linjiang Palace really still has their eyeliner, she would not say that in order to keep the rest of the people. Since she said that just now, it is probably because they don't have many eyeliners in Linjiang Palace, and now they don't have many eyeliners. It was all caught up.

In fact, Li Ke can probably guess how the eyeliner they placed in Linjiang Palace came from.When Xiao Yuexian was brought into the palace by Li Ke from the Yanyu Building, and accompanied by attendants, these eyeliners must have been inserted at that time.

Li Ke looked at the five people who were all wounded in front of him, and said to the leader, Wen Qing'er, "Wen Qing'er, you are so courageous, I don't go to Jiangling to trouble you, but you offend me again and again. King, isn't it true that you can't be bullied if you really are the king?"

Wen Qing'er is also a person with an upright temperament. Now that people are strong and she is weak, she doesn't show any fear. Instead, she shouted at Li Ke: "Li Ke, you are a despicable villain who has colluded with Duan Cui and designed to frame and kill the immortal master." Noisy here."

Li Ke has been in the court for many years, and he has heard a lot of sarcasm inside and out. Even if Xianer's words are upside down, Li Ke listens to them and doesn't care. It's not an exaggeration, what really interested Li Ke was that Duan Cui was mentioned in Qing'er's words.

Duan Cui, the commander of the Gusu Mansion, may be regarded as a figure in the eyes of others due to Duan Cui's official position, but in the eyes of Li Ke, Duan Cui is just a pawn in the game between the court and China. Li Ke was naturally surprised when he heard this name and said that Li Ke had some collusion with him.

At this time, Li Ke remembered what Wang Xuance had said to him just now, and felt more and more that Duan Cuituo had nothing to do with the batch of lost ordnance that Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion sent to Gusu Tongjun Mansion.

But right now in the outer courtyard, there are so many people, so it is inconvenient for Li Ke to ask some questions here.

Li Ke paused, and ordered to Qin Huaidao who was beside him: "Huaidao, take Wen Qing'er down and take him to the inner court. The king will interrogate himself."

"Promise." Qin Huaidao heard the words, immediately agreed, and pushed the people to the inner courtyard.

----------

Yangzhou City, a house in the south of the city.

Zuo Youxian's body fell into Li Ke's hands, Xiao Yuexian and Wen Qing'er wanted to take Zuo Youxian's body back.

However, Linjiang Palace occupies a large area and has many houses. If other people go there, even if Linjiang Palace removes all the guards, it is unknown whether they can get out of Linjiang Palace, let alone snatch people from it.

Qing'er had stayed with Xiao Yuexian in Linjiang Palace for several months, went in and out frequently every day, and was quite familiar with all parts of Linjiang Palace, so it is naturally better for him to take people there.

But Qing'er brought people into Linjiang Palace, and it took an hour to enter. If she succeeded, she should have come out, but she still didn't see her after a long time. Xiao Yuexian, who was waiting for the news in Yangzhou City, became more and more anxious.

"Xiao Niang, it has been an hour since Qing'er entered Linjiang Palace, and there is no news so far, should we try to find out the news." The maid beside Xiao Yuexian saw that Xiao Yuexian was restless, and looked out of the house from time to time, obviously Worried about Qing'er's safety, he asked.

As soon as Qing'er entered Linjiang Palace, she fell into the sea like a mud cow, and she heard the news, and there is no way to continue like this.

Xiao Yuexian thought for a while, took out a letter that had already been written from her bosom, and said to the maid: "Order someone to go to Linjiang Palace to find out the news, if you really can't find out about Qing'er, you can ask the guards outside the palace The soldiers forwarded this letter to Li Ke, and brought a sentence, saying that the old man met again, and I hope Your Highness will take the time."

 I don't know how these rogue advertisements of "Headline News" got into the computer. The desktop got stuck and couldn't be turned off, so I had to restart the computer. I lost all the words I coded for a long time.
