Chapter 60: This revenge will be avenged sooner or later (end of this volume)
Although the warriors under Qiu Shenji's command were not low in martial arts, their light skills were still far behind Dou Xiantong's. Coupled with the cover of night, they had lost track of Dou Xiantong in just a moment.
"Hmph, this person is injured and cannot go very far. We only need to follow the blood trail after dawn to find his whereabouts." Qiu Shenji had no choice but to flatter himself, and then He ordered his samurai to find a house, force his way in, treat the injuries, "requisition" some food from the farmer's family, prepare a meal, and then go to rest.
Early the next morning, Qiu Shenji searched for traces of the assassin's blood, only to find that the assassin had come to the beach and then disappeared.
"Hmph, this thief actually left by boat overnight. It seems that he must have been supported by someone, so he is destined to be lucky." Although Qiu Shenji was unwilling to do so, he had already left by boat and had completely lost his trace. There was no way to find him, so he could only Give up.
"Fortunately, I have completed another mission, and I have finally lived up to the Queen's support. Otherwise, this trip back will definitely have no good results." Qiu Shenji's return this time was a mixed blessing, but fortunately, Wu Chengsi brothers were saved. , I have completed the most important task assigned by Empress Wu. Although I cannot make a full contribution, it can still be regarded as a great contribution. It should not be a big problem to go back and get promoted.
After the game, Qiu Shenji secretly came to Luoyang with the Wu brothers and reported to Empress Wu. It was just as he expected. Although Empress Wu was unhappy because she did not complete the meritorious service, Empress Wu also guessed that this was the case. It has something to do with King Pei Li Xian. After all, Li Xian and Helan Minyue had a close relationship. It was justifiable to kill all the Wu brothers to avenge Helan Minyue this time.
"You, these two rebellious sons, are used to doing evil and misbehaving, and you and your son are even more notorious for their misdeeds. Hmm, if it weren't for the fact that you two brothers are the only bloodline of my Wu family, it would be difficult to forgive me. I hope you can forgive me." From now on, if you commit your past sins in this country, change your mind, and start a new life, I will leave a way for you to survive. If you persist in your evil ways, I will be careful and wait for you."
"Promise, please rest assured, aunt. The child will definitely change his ways in the future, be filial to my aunt, and will never let you down again." After Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were demoted, their original arrogance had long since disappeared, and now they are back again. After picking up a life from the god of death, they naturally became more careful. Now that they knew that Empress Wu had become their only hope, they naturally tried their best to express their loyalty.
But seeing Empress Wu nodding her head, she said slowly: "I hope you can keep your words and deeds consistent. Now, although you have saved your life, your sins have not been washed away, and the Holy One is under the fury of this palace. Even I am also I don't dare to force myself to stand out for you, so during this period of time, you still need to restrain your behavior and not show your face. When the time comes, you will have the opportunity to stand out. So, you will first go to General Qiu's command to become a personal soldier. , I believe that General Qiu will not wrong you. Remember, no one is allowed to reveal your identity without my permission."
"No. Thank you, aunt." How could Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi choose at this time? It would be good to have a place to settle down, so when they heard Empress Wu's words, they were all overjoyed, and quickly thanked Empress Wu, and then said to them Qiu Shenji saluted, and then, under Empress Wu's repeated instructions, he followed Qiu Shenji and left.
But it was said that Li Xian had been uneasy in the past few days, because logically speaking, Dou Xiantong should have completed the task and replied to him, but until now, he had not heard any news from the other party, and he suddenly felt that this trip was possible.
There was an accident, and I couldn't help but feel nervous. I quickly sent out all the intelligence personnel under my command to separately inquire about the whereabouts of Dou Xiantong, and asked them to reply to me as soon as possible.
Although he was very concerned about whether the Wu brothers were successfully killed, in the face of Dou Xiantong's safety, the Wu brothers were not worth mentioning at all. If Dou Xiantong's life was used to exchange for the death of Wu Sansi brother, he would never
This is done.
"Fairy boy, where is this girl? Why is there no news so far? Lord Buddha, please don't let anything happen to my fairy boy, otherwise I, Li Xian, will really regret it to death. Alas, it's all my fault for leaving this girl in the first place.
Things are too simple to imagine. If he spends more effort, deploys carefully, and sends a few more helpers, I believe that even if Fairchild cannot complete the task, he will be able to escape smoothly. But then again, which part is wrong?
Question, what caused my action to fail this time? Well, it must have been the mysterious deaths of the Wu family's children, which aroused my mother's vigilance. As a result, we were self-defeating, and instead the queen sent people to protect Wu Chengsi and others.
Get up. If this is the case, I am afraid that the difficulty of assassinating these two thieves will increase too much."
Li Xian frowned, not only worried about Dou Xiantong's safety, but also thinking about the next response, and did not say a word for a long time.
"Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock at night, it's time to go to bed." Gao Cheng, the personal eunuch, sighed softly and reminded Li Xian in a low voice, who was still sitting in the study, contemplating.
However, Li Xian didn't respond at all. After a long time, he said slowly: "Gao Cheng, don't rush me. Open the door quickly, a guest is coming."
"Ah? Your Majesty, how can there be any guests coming in the middle of the night? Oh, I understand, slave. No wonder Your Majesty still has no intention of sleeping until late at night. It turns out that he is waiting for this guest." Although Gao Cheng didn't know what Li Xian was worried about.
What's the matter? However, as a personal eunuch, he also knew that Li Xian's matter was of great importance. He never dared to neglect it. He quickly followed Li Xian's instructions and opened the door to greet the "guest".
In fact, Gao Cheng's hearing was pretty good, but he didn't hear any movement outside the door at all. When he first followed Li Xian's instructions to go out, he was a little bit confused in his heart, but when he opened the door and took a look, he saw what was outside.
There was a man in night clothes standing there, and he was completely convinced by Li Xian at this time: "I really don't understand what the king's ears are made of? I can hear the sound of martial arts masters falling to the ground through the door.
Alas, my ears are rarely good, but I didn’t hear this person coming at all. It’s so frustrating to compare goods with goods and compare people to people.”
Gao Cheng sighed inwardly, but he didn't hesitate at all. He didn't ask who the visitor was. He directly raised his hands and said: "This gentleman has invited me. Your Majesty is waiting in the room."
Hearing only a faint "Thank you", Gao Cheng felt his eyes blur and saw that the black figure had arrived in Li Xian's study, and then bowed to Li Xian.
"There is no need to be polite, Huaide, please tell me as soon as possible, how is the matter with the fairy boy?"
The visitor's name is Ye Huaide, a knight-errant who was recruited by Li Xian with a lot of money. Although his martial arts skills are far from comparable to those of masters like Zhang Wuchen, there is still a certain gap compared to Dou Xiantong. However, this man is alert and steady.
He is an important figure in the entire Infernal Affairs organization and one of the three great protectors drafted by Li Xian to assist Dou Xiantong in managing Infernal Affairs.
I saw Ye Huaide bowing slightly and saying: "Your Majesty, this matter has disappointed your Majesty. For some reason, the other party was alerted to this matter and laid down more than ten experts in advance. After Mr. Dou broke in, he immediately
Then they were besieged. Fortunately, Mr. Dou was very skilled in martial arts and was able to break through the siege. However, because his ideas were too tough, Mr. Dou also suffered a slight injury when he broke through. Now he is no longer seriously injured and is slowly heading to Luoyang because
Afraid that the king would be worried, he ordered the villain to rush back, first to report to the king that he was safe, and at the same time to apologize to the king. Mr. Dou ordered the villain to tell the king that he would be responsible for all the crimes. In fact, the villain believed that Mr. Dou could not be blamed for this matter.
In fact, because the villain is not careful enough in his work, if he had gone to the Tutu Temple in advance to investigate and determine the identity of the people in the temple, he would not have been fooled and Mr. Dou was injured. Therefore, the villain believes that all the blame lies with the villain.
I have nothing to do with Mr. Dou."
Li Xian sighed softly after hearing this: "You don't have to rush to take the responsibility on yourself. In fact, all this is my fault. I was too careless this time and ignored the reaction of the person above me, which made that person
The calm layout not only rescued the two thieves Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, but also injured the fairy boy. However, I learned a lesson and gained some wisdom. I believe that after this battle, whether it is me, the fairy boy, or you guys, they will be able to do their best.
It will become more rigorous, but that person will not be able to guess our identity at all, but will instead focus on this person under my deliberate misleading."
Li Xian smiled and made a "six" with his finger, then looked at Ye Huaide and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, go to the store to get a hundred taels of gold, and then go down and rest."
Li Xian said as he took out a piece of paper from his arms, with his pseudonym written on it and signed with Li Xian's own fingerprint. This was the certificate that Li Xian was in the Xian Tang business. Anyone can
Use this voucher to withdraw the money marked above from the store.
"This, this, this villain has not made any merit, but how dare he accept such a generous reward from the king?" Ye Huaide looked ashamed and did not accept the piece of paper handed over by Li Xian.
"This is not your fault. All the blame lies with me. Huaide has worked hard all the way and deserves this reward." Li Xian did not retract his hand, but shook his head and put it into Ye Huaide's hand again.
But Ye Huaide refused again and said: "The king's words make the villain really ashamed. No merit is no merit. How can you be greedy for rewards? The villain dare not accept it. Don't blame the king."
Seeing that the other party refused, Li Xian had no choice but to give up. However, his evaluation of Ye Huaide went up a notch: "Ye Huaide is bold, careful, calm, loyal, and not greedy for money. He is definitely a trustworthy person.
Let him be Fairy Boy's deputy, so I have no worries. However, I can't just let go of what happened to Fairy Boy. Sooner or later, I, Li Xian, will avenge this woman. Well, only I, Li Xian, can touch this woman. Others can't.
How dare you, you really don’t take me seriously.”
