Chapter 275 Thrilling

Zhao Guang backed away from Zhao Pu and walked outside the Tingyu Building, where he saw Xu Jiangjin guarding the door, and many officials outside the door were whispering to each other, but Wu Taiming did not come. 【】Zhao Guang was calculating the time in his mind. He heard that Yulou is not too far from the East Mansion. The building has been rectified for such a long time, and so many officials have heard the news. Why hasn't Wu Taiming come yet?

When all the officials saw Prince Zhao Guang coming out, they all came forward to pay respects... Zhao Guang said: "Let's avoid it. It's not easy to follow these rules in this market!"

When everyone got up, Zhao Guang's eyes swept over the faces of the officials one by one. He was actually thinking in his heart, who planned the assassination tonight?But from the faces of these people, he couldn't see anything, so he nodded and said: "Okay, the emperor has a decree, you all go back, you don't need to wait here..."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, nodded to Xu Jiangjin, and walked to a secluded place on the side... Xu Jiangjin hurriedly followed, and before Zhao Guang could speak, Xu Jiangjin said anxiously: "Does the prince know? King Wu was also assassinated tonight!" "

"Scared!" Zhao Guang was taken aback... for a while, he felt a little inappropriate, but he didn't know where this inappropriate feeling came from... Xu Jiangjin is a member of the princeling party, and Zhao Guang heard the news , I didn't want to understand!Then he further reminded the prince: "The emperor is assassinated, the king of Wu is assassinated, and those who have a heart are afraid that they will defile the prince and want to seize the throne..."

If the emperor died, and the king of Wu also died, then there would be no suspense for the crown prince to ascend the throne.After being reminded by Xu Jiangjin, Zhao Guang finally came to his senses... "Where is Prime Minister Wu? The Crown Prince sent someone to notify him a long time ago, why hasn't he come yet?" Zhao Guang felt his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of anything.

What he is worried about now is what should he do if someone really uses this as a pretext, or if someone deliberately sets up this trick to put him on his head... "Prince, don't worry! Prime Minister Wu is not here, luckily Xing is the person who reported the letter, and he did not find Mr. Wu...Jiang Jin has already thought about this whole matter just now, and I am afraid that King Wu is behind this matter! But this can only be suspicion, and there is no way to bring it out to the public. Right now, the prince can only respond to all changes by remaining unchanged. In any case, as long as the prince shows that he has no intention of knowing this matter in advance, then no one can think of putting this matter on the prince's head... So, the prince I just need to protect the emperor with peace of mind..."

Zhao Guang made up his mind, he had no idea, so he could only listen to Xu Jiangjin's idea, nodded and said, "Have you sent someone to investigate secretly?"

Xu Jiangjin said: "I just asked Eunuch Qin about the details of the assassination just now, and now the government servants in the mansion are stepping up night patrols! But this kind of thing is usually well-planned, and it takes such a long time to spare, no matter how difficult it is." Find out something. Jiang Jin can only do his best..."

Sighing softly, Zhao Guang thought in his heart that if he couldn't catch the culprit, he would inevitably be affected by rumors about what happened tonight.What was originally a good thing that could be used for meritorious service has now become like this.He still feels that what is happening in front of him is still a bit unrealistic... The words are divided into two parts, but he said that Wu Taiming walked out of the East Mansion immediately after receiving Zhao Guang's letter.The messenger guards who came over from the Prince's side followed, and brought two handyman who played lanterns, and asked the sedan chair room to carry out a sedan chair for four people, and went directly out of the Li main gate, and hurried all the way to Tingyu Tower on Yujie Street. And go... But just after leaving Li's main entrance, the sedan chair stopped abruptly, almost throwing Wu Taiming out of the sedan chair.

Hearing the "bang" sound of the guard outside the sedan chair pulling out his waist knife, Wu Taiming hastily opened a corner of the sedan chair curtain and looked outside... I saw a masked man in black clothes and black trousers at the front of Yujie, holding a sword in his arms, looking upright. He calmly stopped two feet away from the sedan chair... If the lantern taken out by Dongfu was not big and the light was bright enough, otherwise he would have to wait until he came to the front to see the man in black... The guard drew his knife, but saw the man in black. The person just stood motionless, not daring to move...Although there was only one person in the other party, the aura exuding from his body made him dare not move rashly... Wu Taiming let go of the sedan chair curtain, sat back in the sedan chair and thought for a while , then opened the curtain and came out, dressed in black and said: "Who is here? Why are you blocking the old man's sedan chair?"

The man in black smiled coldly: "Wu Xiangruo is still careful about his own life, please go home now!"

Hearing what the man in black said, Wu Taiming felt relieved for no reason.At least he can be sure that the man in black didn't come to kill him.At the moment when he was thinking about it in the sedan chair just now, he was really worried that someone would kill him on the way... However, he can be regarded as an old man... He heard the words of the man in black, this black man The man in clothes probably knew that someone was going to kill him in front of him, so he stopped him in front of him... He suddenly thought whether he would listen to the assassination of the emperor in the Yulou, it was just a cover, what the opponent really wanted was own life?If this is the case, then this must be a poisonous plan set up by King Wu and Zhao Yun... Thinking of this, Wu Taiming shuddered all over his body, and hurriedly cupped his hands at the man in black: "Thank you for reminding, Taiming is extremely grateful. Can the hero stay?" Gao's last name?"

The man in black smiled faintly, took out a note from his pocket, and gently stretched it out... The guard Wu Taiming glanced at him, and Wu Taiming nodded.Then he stepped forward carefully and took the note in his hand.Slowly retreating back...Wu Taiming just took the note from the guard.The man in black flashed away and disappeared into the darkness... How dare Wu Taiming stay here for a long time, turned around and got on the sedan chair, and immediately said: "Go back!"

Returning to Da Nei dangerously, he sat straight to his office in the back hall of the Political Affairs Hall. Wu Taiming was still uneasy, and ordered a second class of guards outside, and drank a cup of hot tea. His heart was pounding, and he calmed down Come down... After thinking about what happened just now, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.He almost entered the ghost gate by himself, and there was no turning back...Calm down and think about it, if he hadn't guessed that this was the trick of King Wu, then he wouldn't be the prime minister...Hey , Even he was almost fooled, Zhao Yun came to change his target from the prince to himself.That's right, as long as I die, the prince's side will immediately become a mess, and it will be difficult to regroup within a few months!Even if he stabilized his position, it would still hurt his vitality... And with this time, King Wu's power will increase...I'm afraid that by then, the political affairs hall will be dominated by Zhu Tiangong... The more Wu Taiming thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the cold sweat oozed from the top of his head. After a long time, he let out a long breath of foul air, and then he took out the note from his bosom... and saw that the note contained the same lowercase letters on the end of a string , is a good handwriting. It can be seen that the person who wrote this note is really extraordinary... but it is written: I saved your life, and I must pay my life back!The word Su.

"Ah!" Wu Taiming's expression changed, he stared at the note, and was speechless for a long time... After sitting upright for another half a quarter, Wu Taiming burned the note on the fire. , crossed his hands and put them on his chest, with a faint smile on his face. 'The word Su?Su Yi!Give me back my life?What's the meaning?Does it mean surrender? '
