"Sure enough, it is a woman." Li Xian originally smelled a fragrance in his nose when the woman rushed over from outside the palace, and immediately felt that the person who came was a woman. Now when he heard this person speak, although the other person
Deliberately changing the voice, I was able to confirm that the other party must be a woman. I just felt that I had heard this voice somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
And just when Li Xian was thinking about the identity of the other party, he suddenly heard Empress Wu shout: "What do you want? I warn you that no matter how deep you hide, your hiding can still be discovered. If you dare to hurt my son, I will warn you."
All nine of your tribes will be wiped out and no one will survive."
Although Empress Wu was controlled by others, she did not give in. On the contrary, there was a deep threat in her words.
But he didn't expect that the other party didn't waver at all. Instead, he tightened the sword in his hand and said with a cold smile: "In that case, let's try and exchange a certain life for this person's life. Hehe, this person is a commoner and can take away a person."
The life of a prince is considered worth it. Stop talking nonsense, quickly open the palace door and let me out of the palace. This person can still save his life. Otherwise, Her Highness the Queen will collect the body of your son today."
"Stop, I will let you go. General Qiu, let him go, but you must remember to save my son's life. Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go."
No matter how cruel Empress Wu was, she couldn't bear to hurt her own son's life. What's more, Li Xian just sacrificed his life to save her. This made her heart moved but also reluctant to let go. So although the opportunity to eradicate the root cause was right in front of her.
, but for the sake of his son, he had to take action and ordered the assassin to be released.
Seeing that Empress Wu was able to give up the opportunity to kill her enemy because of him, Li Xianming knew that she had always been vicious, and now he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He just wanted to reveal his trump card immediately and ordered to hide among the guards.
Zhang Wuchen killed the assassin in one fell swoop, but his reason told him that he must not do this. Otherwise, even if he was fine, the people he had made friends with over the years would surely suffer disaster and even be destroyed.
, and this is definitely not what he wants to see.
What's more, he is absolutely unwilling to be a puppet emperor like history, even if Empress Wu kisses him again. So Li Xian has no choice but to continue waiting for the opportunity, waiting for a chance to not only escape, but also to capture the assassin alive.
, because he feels more and more familiar with this assassin, and the more he does this, the more he wants to know the identity of the other person. Otherwise, if this person knows some of his secrets and leaks his secrets to some key people, then
It’s a lot of fun.
Therefore, Li Xian had no choice but to leave the palace under the hostage of the assassin and closely followed by the guards led by Qiu Shenji.
Since he was held hostage by assassins, Li Xian naturally would not pass through the Nanya offices that were heavily guarded, but chose to leave through Xuanwu Gate.
"By order of Her Majesty the Queen, we open this door." Qiu Shenji showed no expression on his face, holding up the token given by Empress Wu, and ordered the gatekeepers to open the palace door and let the assassin leave.
When the assassin saw the door open, he didn't say much. He walked out of the Xuanwu Gate with Li Xian in his arms, and then said with a smile: "General, I'm grateful for sending you so far, so let's say goodbye."
After saying that, the assassin led Li Xian forward quickly and found a horse somewhere. Then he rode the fast horse and fled into the dark night.
"Chase." Qiu Shenji was ordered to protect Li Xian's life and take the opportunity to kill the assassin. Now nothing has been accomplished. If he goes back like this, the furious Empress Wu will definitely vent her anger on him. In this case
As a result, I can no longer keep the position of director of the left prison gate that I obtained through the benefit of my father, Qiu Xinggong. This is not the end, I am afraid that my future in this life will be ruined because of this incident.
Therefore, Qiu Shenji ordered the guards to pursue the assassin in the direction without hesitation.
But he didn't expect that the assassin was actually a fast horse, but in the blink of an eye, he and his group could no longer find any trace of the horse or its owner.
"I will go to Luoyang Prefecture with me. This time I will seal off the whole city and order all Wuhou Fangding to investigate overnight. Huh, there is a curfew now, and the assassin is injured. I don't believe that he can run to the horizon."
Qiu Shenji's reaction was not slow, and the decision he made was the most appropriate. If nothing unexpected happened, the female assassin would definitely be arrested.
But something happened unexpectedly, and the person who caused the accident was even more unbelievable, because that person turned out to be the kidnapped Li Xian!
The thing was actually very simple. Just as the female assassin mounted the horse, Li Xian suddenly recognized her identity because he remembered very clearly that the horse they were riding was actually the one Li Xian selected in Nanshi not long ago.
, and the skinny horse was snatched away by others for a large sum of money. And the one who competed with him for the horse was the powerful woman who made bold moves.
Therefore, almost immediately, Li Xian was sure that this female assassin was the original Mi Li woman. At the same time, he also suddenly realized why the woman spent a lot of money to buy a horse. The purpose was to assassinate Empress Wu. He did not know this person.
Who is it?
"Did dad Gaozong send him?" This was impossible. Li Xian immediately rejected this inference, because he knew Gaozong's character deeply. He was both dependent on and wary of Empress Wu, but throughout his life, at most he was...
An attempt was made to depose the Empress, but was aborted by Empress Wu crying. As for sending someone to assassinate her, it was absolutely impossible given Gaozong's rotten good nature and cowardly character.
"Perhaps it's Mrs. Helan of Wei and his daughter?" This is also impossible, because although they are unwilling to dote on Empress Wu, their current conflicts are not planned to be irreconcilable, not to mention that there is still Yang in the palace.
The old lady Mrs. Rongguo is in charge, so it is definitely impossible for the mother and daughter to do this.
"Is that a member of Queen Wang or Concubine Xiao Shu? This is a bit unclear. No matter what, I will try to find out the identity of this female assassin, but I can't guarantee that when she is captured and interrogated, she
Are you talking nonsense about me? If my secret is really leaked because of this, then the gain outweighs the loss this time. Well, I need to capture him and interrogate him personally. I can't let Qiu Shenji interfere.
Hehe, although I don’t know what this guy looked like when he was young, but since he will be a famous cruel official in the future, there is no guarantee that he will not use torture now. And if you want to prevent Qiu Shenji from intervening, there is only one way, that is
Just don’t let him know about it.”
Li Xian had already made arrangements for the fate of the female assassin in just a second of thoughts. Unfortunately, the female assassin actually thought that Li Xian's life was in her hands.
In fact, this is not the fault of the female assassin. After all, she does not know Li Xian's skills, nor does she know that Li Xian is followed by a first-class master in the world. This person's light skill is even more outstanding. If he uses it with all his strength, the female assassin will never be able to defeat him in a short time.
Under the dark clouds and snow.
At night in Luoyang City, it was destined that the female assassin could only escape within a short period of time, because not long after, the streets were filled with Wuhou sent by Luoyang Prefecture and people from various houses.
In such a well-defended place, not even a mosquito can fly away.
The female assassin was already weak and mentally weak because she had been injured before. She just managed to hold on in order to get a chance of survival. But after she escaped on horseback, her body finally couldn't support it anymore, so she used all her strength to rein in the horse.
Then he slowly fell to the side of the road.
Worried about Li Xian's escape, the female assassin kept holding him against her chest. As he rose and fell on the saddle, Li Xian felt a slight softness on his head from time to time. Just when he was feeling comfortable in his heart, he was struck by the opponent.
He was wrapped up and fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but feel secretly frightened. He was afraid that if he fell like this and was crushed by the female assassin again, although he would not die this time, he might still be injured.
However, after waiting for a long time, Li Xian did not feel the expected pain. Instead, he felt that the place where his head touched was soft. He couldn't help but open his eyes curiously, only to find that the assassin fell to the ground on his back.
But he was covered with a layer of flesh pad, and he didn't suffer any harm, not even a trace of pain.
But the female assassin spit out a large mouthful of blood, fainted suddenly, and then fell unconscious.
Seeing this scene, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly. It was obvious that the female assassin was afraid of him falling, so she risked her life and forcibly placed herself under him, which aggravated the injury and made him unconscious.
"You are not ruthless. The sword that stabbed me earlier was merciful. Why can't I see it? I didn't know the reason at the time, but later I thought it was because you knew me. But since you have feelings, why do you want to do this?
You want to do something like assassinate the queen? You know that the forbidden areas of the palace are not accessible to you if you want to. Fortunately, I bumped into you today. Otherwise, if you were captured, not only would you have lost your life in vain, but after a detailed investigation, how could you have done it?
Aren’t I also affected? That’s all, since you saved me once, I will save you once too.”
Li Xian sighed slightly, but did not dare to delay. Dang even sent out a coded signal to summon Zhang Wuchen who was following him, and then gave a low voice order for Zhang Wuchen to take him and the female assassin to the secret house in the southwest of the palace.
As for the thousand-mile horse, I couldn't care less about it now, so I had to kill it and trim its fur. Otherwise, if someone recognized it, it would cause endless trouble for me.
Things like killing a horse and skinning it were a piece of cake for Zhang Wuchen, a top-notch player. In just a split second, he swung his sword to kill the horse without even having time to let it make a cry. Skinning it was not difficult either.
All in all, it was just a cup of tea. After completing all this, Zhang Wuchen processed the horse's fur, then wrapped Li Xian and the female assassin, and with just a slight movement, he crossed the not-too-distant horse.
The high square wall, and then a few rising and falling rooms disappeared into the dark night.
