Chapter 72 This Sixth Prince is so terrifying!
Seeing the dozen or so corpses of night crows lying outside the Meridian Gate, Li Shimin, who always looked like a raging fire, fell silent.

He stared at the dozen or so corpses with cold eyes for a whole incense stick of time without saying a word.

Donggong Liu, the General of the Central Army and the Prefect of Chang'an, knelt beside them. Their legs were numb, but no one dared to move their knees to make themselves feel better.

No one dared to look up at Li Shimin.
No one dared to say a word!

Your Majesty is very angry and the consequences will be serious!
If you say a wrong word at this moment, it is very likely to be the wrath of the sky!
When the emperor is angry, blood will flow!
No matter whose blood it is, Jingzhao Yin and Zhonglang Jiang don’t want it to be theirs!

After a long time, they heard footsteps gradually moving away from them.

Only when the footsteps had disappeared did they dare to raise their heads.

Li Shimin is gone.

Chang'an Jingzhao Yin and Donggong Liushuei, the General of the Central Army, looked at each other, then slowly got up from the ground, rubbing their legs in pain.

Your Majesty, what's going on?
Have you been silent for so long, without saying a word?

Could it be that Your Majesty already knows who is behind these corpses?
But there is one thing they can be sure of, their heads should be saved.

The official position should not be taken away.

After all, if Your Majesty wanted to punish them for the assassination of the prince, there would be no need for this.

Just strip them of their official uniforms outside the Meridian Gate and throw them into jail. There is no need to be polite to them.

His Majesty remained silent, of course, because he probably knew the whole story.

Thinking of this, the Jingzhao Yin of Chang'an and the Sixth General of the Eastern Palace changed their expressions at the same time and stuck out their tongues.

The water here is very deep.
Brothers, we can't control ourselves!
……

Duke Zhao's Mansion.

Changsun Wuji sat in the study, his face was terribly gloomy and his voice was extremely cold.

He looked at the "Old Crow" Ping An who was kneeling in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"You mean, more than a hundred good fighters in Night Crow Farm were killed overnight?"

Ping An nodded, his expression was also very ugly:
"Yes, my lord!"

"Do you know who did this?"

Ping An shook his head with some difficulty:
"The other party acted very quickly and did not leave any clues at all. The bodies of the killed Night Crows were also moved away. There was nothing left at the scene except blood and traces of fighting!"

"Judging from the blood and traces at the scene, at least sixty or seventy people were killed!"

"but……"

Ping An quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Chang Sun Wuji:
"Don't worry, sir. There is no clue in Night Crow Farm that is connected to the Zhaoguo Mansion, and most people in the farm don't know you, sir!"

Chang Sun Wuji sneered:

"Do you think this is what I'm afraid of now?"

He stood up and looked at Ping An with cold eyes. After a long while, he suddenly sighed:
"More than a hundred Night Crows that had been trained for many years were killed overnight without leaving even a single one alive. This is basically impossible!"

"The other party must have captured some people alive, but they took away all the dead and the living, leaving only an empty village!"

“This is the scariest thing!”

At this point, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes:
"This shows that the opponent is powerful enough to cut off one of my arms without making any noise!"

Ping An's face turned pale when he heard this:

"Could it be... the Emperor?"

Zhang Sun Wuji was silent for a long time, but shook his head:

"Your Majesty does not need to act this way!"

That's right!

If Li Shimin wanted to kill the night crows, he could have just dispatched the six generals of the East Palace to kill all the night crows in the manor and then hang their heads outside the gate of Chang'an. But Li Shimin would not do that.

If he did this, it would mean that he was ready to let go and deal with Changsun Wuji.

Then, when the six generals of the Eastern Palace were dispatched to deal with the Night Crow, the Duke Zhao's Mansion was surrounded by the twelve guards and horses, and all the men and women in the Changsun Mansion were captured!
who can that be?

Changsun Wuji frowned and thought for a while.

Although he had political enemies in the court, they either did not have such great power or such deep hatred.

Suddenly, Changsun Wuji thought of someone.

Could it be him?

impossible!

He has just returned to Chang'an for less than half a year, how could he have such great power!
Even though he had recruited three hundred elite soldiers, plus the two hundred people he brought back from Lingnan, the total number was only five hundred.

It would be unlikely for these soldiers to kill more than a hundred highly skilled night crows in the farm without making any noise!

The night crows on the farm have all been rigorously trained and each has unique skills.

More than a hundred Night Crows facing five hundred elite soldiers. Even if they have no chance of winning, at least not a single one of them will be unable to escape!

At this moment, Changsun Mao, the relative steward of Changsun Mansion, ran over in a hurry:
"My lord, something terrible has happened! The whole of Chang'an has been alarmed!"

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he quickly asked:

"what's up?"

Chang Sun Mao replied:
"Last night, someone tried to assassinate the Sixth Prince in Hua'e Xianghui Tower, but was discovered by the Sixth Officer of the Eastern Palace, Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Sixth Prince's men. More than a dozen people were beheaded, and the bodies are now lying outside the Meridian Gate!"

"what!"

Zhang Sun Wuji was stunned:

"Do you know who these assassins are?"

Chang Sun Mao said:

"From what I have heard, these assassins are called Night Crows, but we don't know who is behind them!"

Although he was a relative of Changsun Wuji and served as a manager in the mansion, he was not aware of Changsun Wuji's use of Ping An to form the Thirteen Crows, so he heard all the information from people around Jingzhao Yin.

When Changsun Wuji heard this, his expression changed again.

The situation is now as obvious as lice on a bald head!

The people from Night Crow Farm were indeed killed by Li An!
Moreover, after he killed people, he placed more than a dozen corpses outside the Hua'e Xianghui Tower, saying that they were his assassins.

But he did not reveal anything about the Thirteen Crows Killing, and even Changsun Wuji, the mastermind behind the scenes, did not reveal a single word.

Now the body is placed outside the Meridian Gate. Let's see what the Emperor says!

Changsun Wuji sat down on the chair somewhat weakly, and a layer of cold sweat had unknowingly appeared on his back.

This Sixth Prince is so terrifying!
I had just given him a severe blow, and he immediately cleared out hundreds of night crows from his farm!
Revenge doesn’t take overnight!

And from the traces, Night Crow killed at least seventy people, but he only left a dozen corpses outside the gate of Hua'e Xianghui Tower.

What about the remaining survivors?

These people must have been secretly imprisoned by him as a backup.

This guy killed Changsun Wuji's people and imprisoned a group of them, but he did not reveal any information about him in front of the emperor. It was clearly a warning to him and the emperor!
Warn him not to act rashly again, and don't think about dealing with me, otherwise he may have a backup plan at any time!
Warn the emperor that someone wants to deal with his son, let the emperor know who is the one who is putting on the eye drops and supporting these killers!

As for what the emperor will do, that is the emperor’s business!
Insidious, so insidious!
Changsun Wuji discovered that someone was even more insidious than himself.

For the first time in his life, he felt a chill running down his back and neck!
