Late Tang

In the east of Chang'an City, in the middle of Baqiao Station.Chen Jingxuan was fidgeting, anxiously waiting for the results from Gaoling County.

All the tasks have been arranged, and Chen Duo always said that everything is arranged properly, nothing will go wrong, nothing will go wrong.But his heart was pounding, and he didn't have any confidence.He rubbed his hands vigorously, feeling a chill all over his body.He couldn't help wrapping the mink fur cloak tightly around his body, and called his servants to heat up the brazier even more.Seeing the young servant squatting in front of the fire, revealing a buttocks like a ripe peach, he couldn't help swallowing, if it was normal, he would definitely deal with this delicate maid first Besides.

But now, he didn't have the slightest thought about it.

"What time is it?"

The maid had been posing for a long time, but she couldn't help being a little disappointed when she saw that the nobleman didn't move.Hearing this, she hurriedly said in a whining voice: "Return to the officials, it's midnight!" She bit the words "midnight" with special emphasis, full of hints and provocations.

It's just that Chen Jingxuan didn't have the heart to notice these at this time, seeing that it was so late, but there was no news, and he was even more uneasy at the moment.

But thinking of the third brother, this matter should be very easy.It is said that the beauty who is as long as ice and snow is a first-class assassin.It was the apprentice who was trained by an extremely powerful female killer, although he always wore a mask.

It is said that the woman named Aunt Lan was Lan, who was one of the four major killers of Lan Ju Mei Zhu in Li Jing Men.At that time, the Shence Army first grasped Lan's identity, and then captured her sister-like Mei and her parents, brothers and sisters and controlled them. Finally, they finally persuaded Lan to betray Li Jingmen, and finally took refuge in secret He defeated the Shence Army, and helped the Shence Army to respond internally, wiped out several hidden bases of Lijingmen, and finally wiped out all the high-level students such as disciples.

He once heard from his third brother that this woman named Lan was very strange.At the beginning, the Shence Army captured Lan in an operation, and then Mei came to rescue her, but Lan was rescued, but Mei herself was captured.When they captured Lan before, they had captured Lan's family as a threat, but she was completely unmoved.But when Mei fell into their hands, she came to the door not long after, willing to cooperate with them, just to rescue Mei.

This is a strange woman who regards Mei as a sister, who is more important than her biological parents and siblings.Mei has always been in the hands of Tian Lingzi, and it is precisely because of this that Tian Lingzi has kept Lan outside for the past two years.For this operation, Tian Lingzi believed that Lan would help him complete the mission like many previous missions.

According to the third brother, things are always so simple, but Chen Jingxuan is still a little worried.

For his worry, Tian Lingzi also specially transferred two hundred dead soldiers to him.However, he didn't trust these people very much. After much deliberation, he felt that the matter could not rely on two women and a group of rogues. In the end, without telling Tian Lingzi, he secretly transferred a Shence military camp stationed in Weibei to Gaoling County. .

With the help of Chen Duo, the magistrate of Gaoling County, and Feng Chuang, the governor of the Shence Army, Chen Jingxuan believed that this time it should be safe.

When it was almost dawn, Chen Jingxuan who had been waiting all night fell asleep unknowingly, and when he woke up, it was already broad daylight.

He hurriedly called his personal guard, "Is Chen Duo here?"

"Magistrate Chen didn't come."

Chen Jingxuan looked anxious, "Is Feng Yaya here?"

"nor."

Hearing this, his face turned completely pale.

"What about Gaoling City, is there any movement?"

The soldier looked at Chen Jingxuan in surprise, and replied honestly: "Not long after dawn, Chang'an dispatched a large group of soldiers and horses to cross the Dongwei Bridge to Gaoling. I heard that there was a mutiny in Gaoling last night, and someone tried to murder the town [* **] Marshal Li Jing. They set fire to the mansion where Li Jing lived. As a result, it rained heavily and put out the fire. Then at the time of Guan Jian, there happened to be Sizhou Xin Daxia in the city, and he led his disciples to draw their swords to help , defeated the rebels, and finally returned to the camp with Marshal Li Jing." The soldier didn't know what Chen Jingxuan was doing, and he didn't see that his face was so gloomy and frightening, but he was still there. There are people talking about it, "Now there are rumors everywhere that Li Jing prayed for rain in Dengzhou last year, and the Dragon King sent rain and fish, saying that he was the messenger of the dragon. When he was attacked by fire, it immediately rained heavily, and even the hero Xin It's a very precious appearance for Yundu to come to help."

"That's enough, get out!" Chen Jingxuan became more and more depressed as he listened, and finally couldn't listen anymore, and kicked the guard out.

He never expected that the matter would turn out to be such a result that Li Jing could not be left behind after mobilizing so many people.At this fucking Guan Jian time, what is Xin Yan doing out here? He used to like to listen to Xin Yan's stories the most, but now he feels that he will never love Xin Yan's stories again in his life.

Worrying around the house a few times anxiously, he patted his thigh for the last time and asked someone to call some of his confidantes.He told them to carefully go to Gaoling to inquire about detailed information, and several confidantes went back quickly, and the news they brought back made him even more frightened.

Both Chen Duo and Feng Chuang had already died under Xin Yu's hands, and most of the thousand forbidden soldiers and two hundred dead soldiers last night were killed or injured, and the rest fled in fear of crime.As for the two female killers, someone saw them leaving the city and returning to camp with Li Jing last night.

"General, Gaoling City has been taken over by Zhang Tai, the General of the Right Prison Gate, leading a thousand imperial troops. The identities of Chen Duo and Feng Chuang have been verified, and even those imperial troops have been identified. Now this matter has become a serious issue for us. It is very unfavorable, I heard that Zhang Tai has also arrested many people who were too late to escape, and they are now being interrogated."

Chen Jingxuan heard that the souls of the dead were mad, if it was just a group of desperadoes who were caught, the brothers would not be involved for a while.But now that the Forbidden Army is dispatched to get involved, it will be a big deal.If the matter is successful, it can still be concealed. After all, it is unwise to offend Li Jing's third brother for a dead person.But now Li Jing is still fine, but he has already shown his feet.What's more important is that Zhang Tai, an old eunuch, has always been at odds with his third brother.

At this time, he was already in a mess, so his confidants suggested that he go back to Chang'an immediately, explain the matter to Tian Lingzi, and let Tian Lingzi deal with the aftermath.

Immediately, Chen Jingxuan immediately ran back to Chang'an City, and went straight to the palace to meet Tian Lingzi.Seeing his brother, Chen Jingxuan immediately told the story before and after, holding onto Tian Lingzi's thigh and weeping: "Brother, you have to save brother this time. Now that Zhang Tai has gone to Gaoling, I'm afraid this matter will never end. If something is found out, brother, my head will be lost."

After Tian Lingzi heard what happened, his face turned blue from anger.He never expected that the second brother, who usually can't get a fart with three sticks, would dare to directly mobilize a thousand forbidden troops to siege and kill Li Jing openly.

This matter is too big, even he, at most, just wants to assassinate.At the end of the matter, if the matter fails, it is impossible for Li Jing to catch him.Now the second brother is lucky, he made such a mess, in the end, no one was killed, but a large number of people were killed, and a lot of evidence was directly sent to Li Jing and the others.

But at this time, even beating and scolding is useless.Anyway, if brother is really involved in this matter, he will not be able to make a clear connection.To protect Chen Jingxuan is to protect oneself.

After frowning and contemplating for a while, he has initially thought of some solutions.

"Do things like this first. You follow what I said, go find it first...... Do you understand?"

Chen Jingxuan nodded numbly, and asked a little worriedly: "Brother, is this really possible?"

"You go and do what I say first, and remember, don't make any decisions this time."

"Okay, I see." Chen Jingxuan chuckled, turned around and left immediately.

In the camp outside Gaoling City, Zhang Tai, the General of the Right Prison Gate, arrived accompanied by Zhang Chengye.Zheng Congxuan, Li Jing and others all came to greet him, and Yu Jian asked, "I don't know how the investigation of Mr. Zhang's affairs is going?"

Zhang Taidao: "Actually, the matter is clear and clear. Before I came, the Son of Heaven had already understood it in his heart. It was just for me to make a show. Although the matter is clear now, I don't think it should make a big fuss."

Zheng Congxun asked: "Based on Mr. Zhang's intention, how should we deal with this matter?"

"It's best to make big things into small things, and small things into small things."

Li Jing chuckled, "Is it really that simple to make big things small and small things small? If I died at the hands of a Tian thief last night, should I make big things small and small things small?" Being besieged and assassinated, he said It's impossible not to get angry.Li Jing was still a little scared now, if it wasn't for the heavy rain last night, the other party didn't need to invade the yard at all, as long as they kept setting fire outside, they could all be burned to death.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years." Zhang Tai persuaded carefully, "This is at the foot of Chang'an. The general is not like this. Is it possible to lead troops to Chang'an and come to the side of the Qing emperor? If not, then let's talk about other things. It doesn't make much sense. The commander-in-chief might as well write an internal reference for the emperor. At this time, only a few people can know it, and everyone who doesn't need to know it. After all, Tian Lingzi is the father of the emperor, and now he is powerful. can move."

Lin Wu said in dissatisfaction: "Comparing the emperor to the table, what's the use of it?"

"Everything can't be judged as one." Zhang Tai pulled Li Jing aside and sat down, "Fortunately, the commander was attacked this time, but fortunately, he didn't suffer much damage. As for the court, there is no way to punish Tian Lingzi, but the old saying pays attention to the teacher." To be famous, as long as Tian Lingzi’s past is nailed down first, everyone in the world can see it, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages for us. It’s impossible to fight hard, we can only do it openly and secretly. Big loss."

"Is this also what the emperor meant?" Li Jing was very smart, and immediately thought of the mastermind of this deal.

Zhang Tai smiled slightly, "Tian Lingzi is the son of heaven, father. He played with His Majesty since he was a child. Even now, no one can take his place. As for Marshal, although His Majesty has always liked him, but After all, you are a foreign minister. Your Majesty means that the matter between the two of you is considered a misunderstanding, and when you arrive in Chang'an, let Tian Lingzi throw a banquet to you and make up for it. "

Hearing such a result, Li Jing was expressionless, but in his heart he was extremely disappointed with the emperor.However, this is not expected. (To be continued.)
