Chinese dining table

Chapter 688 Who is the target?
"Naha was attacked by someone and almost shot with an arrow."

When Li Hong came to the courtyard where Yunchu and the others lived, he met and told Yunchu what happened at dusk.

With a "click", the teacup in Yunchu's hand shattered. He glanced at Ruan Rou and Di Renjie, slowly put the fragments of the teacup on the table and asked, "Do you know who is plotting against Naha?"

Li Hongdao: "Naha thinks the assassin's target is me, not her."

Yun Chu said indifferently: "It has been two hours since the incident happened. You came here in the middle of the night just to tell me that Naha was assassinated, but you don't know anything?"

Li Hongdao: "It has been found out that the archer is Zhang Jue, the captain of the fifth team of the sixth regiment of Luozhou Zhechong Prefecture."

Yun Chu said: "Where are people?"

Li Hongdao: "Fleeing without a trace."

Yun Chu turned his head to Di Renjie, Di Renjie drank his tea and said, "We will find it."

Rou Rou said to Li Hong: "Since the incident happened two hours ago, Your Majesty should know about it. What is His Majesty's attitude?"

Li Hong sighed and said: "Father ordered me to arrest Sima Tengjin of Luozhou, Chen Yong, the school captain of Zhechong Prefecture of Luozhou, and Xiao Siye has already brought six people to arrest them.

Master, what this disciple can't figure out now is that it is inevitable to capture Captain Zhechong Chen Yong, why should he capture Sima Tengjin of Luozhou?

Is there something here that I don't know about? "

Without waiting for Yunchu's answer, Wenrou replied without thinking: "Sima Tengjin of Luozhou has held this official position for ten years."

Li Hong looked at Yunchu and said, "Master has been in charge of Wannian County for almost ten years."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "So, as long as it's anything big or small that happens in Wannian County, I should know."

Li Hong frowned and said, "Who is behind Luozhou Sima Tengjin?"

Gentlely said: "It must be a group of forces that your father can no longer tolerate. This time, it happens to be solved by assassination."

Li Hong nodded, and said to Di Renjie, "This time I'm sorry."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Don't worry, they can't leave."

After speaking, he looked at Yun Chu again and said, "Let the command of Mrs. Fang in Luoyang be transferred to me."

Yun Chu took out a bronze medal from his pocket and handed it to Di Renjie, "Tell me when you do it, I'll do it."

Li Hong said again: "I don't know why my younger brother Li Xian has been very close to Cui, Zheng, and Liu recently. There are many talented people in his house."

Yun Chu said: "Does your mother know?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "I know, I planned to have an attack tonight, but my father suppressed it, and I don't want to make a joke about my brother's quarrel and make others laugh."

Yun Chu said: "Your mother will not let it go, Li Xian may escape this time, others..."

Li Hong's hands trembled, and the hot tea didn't feel hot on his hands, so he hesitated and said, "I don't want the queen mother to intervene."

Gentlely shook her head and said: "Since your mother became a queen, everything she has done is actually done for your father, and your mother will do everything that is not good to say or sound good.

If His Majesty is the blazing sun in the sky, then Her Highness the Empress is the bright moon in the dark night.

Your father shines brightly in the world, and your mother empress..."

Li Hong gritted his teeth and said, "What am I?"

Di Renjie said: "Your Highness is the spring seedlings in the fields, the morning rain, the babies that have just fallen to the ground, the toddling animals that have just been born, and the vitality of the Tang Dynasty."

"So, I can't go over the kitchen and do things for the queen mother?"

"That's right, a tacit understanding has been formed between His Majesty and the Empress, the division of labor, His Highness is benevolent and filial, and he doesn't want the Empress to get involved in those evil things, but, Your Highness, power is power, if you take over the kitchen, the Empress will think that you are seizing power.

Even if you know that you are benevolent and filial, but you seize power in the name of benevolence and filial piety, it is true. "

After listening to the gentle explanation, Li Hong leaned back on the chair dejectedly and said softly: "That is to say, if I do something on behalf of my mother, not only will it not increase the family relationship with the queen mother, but it will create grievances instead? "

Yunchu, Wenrou, and Di Renjie all remained silent. No matter how close Li Hong was to them, they would never ask Li Hong to choose between them and the queen.

They can point out the priorities of things, and they will never do anything to separate the relationship between mother and child.

Most of the counselors who did this kind of thing in the past either died or disappeared. Only the group of people who separated the relationship between Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizu survived forever.

The next day, May [-]th, was a great day for Naha's enthronement. The Yun family got up early in the morning, and went to the White Horse Temple to watch the ceremony together with Wen Shi and Di Shi.

People in the Tang Dynasty like to burn incense very much, so when they go up, they are close to the White Horse Temple. The incense here is so thick that it makes people breathless.

In addition, there were too many people who came to watch the ceremony, causing many people to breathe with their heads up, like fish thrown ashore.

Although there are a lot of Jinwu guards on guard, the White Horse Temple has become an extremely dangerous place because the whole city of Luoyang is mobilized.

When Di Renjie was not there, Yun Chu grabbed the gentle horse's reins and said, "Get out of here immediately, there are too many people."

Gentle nodded repeatedly: "I feel uneasy."

Yun Chu jumped off the horse and ordered the generals of the three families to take advantage of the fact that the crowd behind was still sparse, so they decisively cut off the road and prevented the people behind from continuing to move forward.

There are too many people, and stampede accidents are easy to happen, especially in this kind of place where tens of thousands of people gather, it is extremely dangerous. As long as a little accident occurs, or a panic is artificially caused, thousands of people will be killed or injured. many.

Seeing that the family generals cut off the flow of people, Yun Chu grabbed a Jin Wuwei lieutenant general and said, "Immediately tell your generals to cut off all the roads leading to the White Horse Temple, otherwise there will be a catastrophe."

General Pi of the Jinwu Guard didn't take Yun Chu's words seriously, so he wanted to reprimand him. Yun Chu took out his palace badge and pressed it on the guy's face, saying, "I'm Lantian Hou Yunchu, hurry up."

Seeing that General Pi left in a hurry, Yu Xiurong poked his head out of the carriage and asked, "What happened? Why didn't you enter the White Horse Temple, the auspicious time is coming soon."

Yun Chu said: "I don't feel very good, you should immediately turn around and go home quickly."

Yu Xiurong said anxiously: "Naha is still waiting for us."

Yun Chu said: "If what happened last night was intentional, they probably wouldn't let go of this good opportunity and go back!"

At the same time, Ruan also arranged for the generals to rush to the White Horse Temple to report the scene here, hoping to postpone or stop the enthronement ceremony.

I don't know if Yunchu's warning worked, or if the Jinwu Guards also discovered the disadvantages. There are more and more Jinwu Guards in the crowd, and checkpoints are set up at the front, and horses are also placed to prevent people from outside. People come in again.

The Jinwu Guards in Luoyang were not the same group of Jinwu Guards in Chang'an at all. The previous batch of Jinwu Guards who defended the capital had already returned home, and this group of people did not know that they were transferred from the Zhechong Mansion there.

Chang'an Jinwu Guard is very experienced in this kind of big scene with huge crowds, because Chang'an has to deal with this kind of big scene as many as three times a year.

Obviously, the Jinwu Guards in Luoyang did not have this kind of experience. Maybe the generals gave the order correctly, but when they fell to the bottom to execute it, the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard took out their whips.

When dealing with this kind of crowd, a smiling face is definitely better than a whip. A smiling face can calm people's hearts, while a whip can only scare people and cause chaos.

Yunchu didn't stay on the street for long, seeing that the troops of the Jinwu Guard had already arrived, and at the same time, the monks of the White Horse Temple also started to go out to command, so he and Wenrou took the family members of the three families back along a small alley.

As soon as the carriage entered the alley, Yun Chu's face became gloomy, and Wen Rou also kept a straight face and said nothing.

The families of the three families will guard the three carriages tightly without ordering them.

There are crowds everywhere, only this alley is surprisingly quiet.

Gentle and low voice: "Why don't I go back to the carriage so that you can use it conveniently."

Yun Chu said in a low voice: "Slow down, remember to drop the iron plate, I didn't kill all these people, so don't come out."

Nodding gently, she rode a horse close to her own carriage, and then got into the carriage, her movements were not chaotic at all, but very smooth.

Yu Xiurong's head was about to poke out of the car window when Yun Chu pushed it back and pulled down the iron plate on the car window.

The generals had already started to be vigilant, and the distance between the three carriages was getting smaller and smaller. When this small convoy arrived at a crossroads, feathered arrows fell like a torrential rain.

Even if they were prepared, the generals were shot totteringly in the first round of arrow rain.

Yun Chu's figure happened to be sandwiched between two carriages, and the rain of arrows couldn't help him for a while, but the rain of arrows fell on the carriage and made the sound of rain hitting plantains.

This place is very close to the White Horse Temple, and these assassins don't have much time to continue using bows and arrows to consume their guarding power.

When Yunchu appeared at the entrance of the alley with a horizontal knife in hand, many masked people poured out from all sides of the intersection.

The participating generals of the three families quickly formed a team to block the remaining three intersections, and started fighting with the assassin in an instant.

Only the assassins on Yunchu's side hurried over and stopped ten steps away from Yunchu. The leading assassin opened his arms and firmly blocked the accomplices behind him, preventing them from rushing forward to die.

It has not been a day or two since Yun Chu's reputation as brave and unparalleled has spread among the army. From the neat charge formation of these people, Yun Chu immediately knew that these people must be soldiers.

Yun Chu walked forward slowly and said: "The soldiers of the government are also thieves? It's really a strange thing to put down their weapons and surrender. Only the head of the villain will be punished, and the rest will flee to the border states."

The masked man at the head sneered and said, "The soldiers in Chang'an are full of fat and are willing to listen to you. We men have nothing to eat, so we can only eat this piece of fat meat from Marquis Yun to fill our stomachs."

Yun Chu shouted loudly: "Presumptuous!"

Swinging away two feathered arrows with a knife, stepping on broken steps, he arrived in front of the thief in an instant, and slashed down like a horizontal knife in his palm.
