Li Lizhi turned pale when she heard that a large number of assassins were attacking Lin's house at night.
After knowing that Lin Xuan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, the Marquis of Jingyang County is fine, don't worry." Princess Yuzhang comforted her.
Li Lizhi shook her head and said: "Nearly three hundred people died this time. He was lucky and fine, but what about the future?"
Princess Yuzhang didn't know what to do or how to persuade her.
Li Lizhi said: "No, I want to find the queen mother."
"Then I will accompany you." Princess Yuzhang said.
Li Lizhi shook her head and said, "Don't go, I'll go by myself."
Li Zhengdian
"Mother!" Li Lizhi walked in with a tearful voice.
"Li Zhi, what's wrong with you?"
Queen Changsun was teasing Princess Jinyang. When she saw her daughter with red eyes from crying, she asked with some distress.
Li Lizhi threw herself into Empress Changsun's arms and cried even more sadly.
Empress Changsun looked at her daughter crying with tears in her eyes, and said with some distress: "Is it because of Lin Xuan? The mother heard that he is fine."
"Mother, it's okay this time, but what about the future? I've been assassinated twice." Li Lizhi sobbed.
Empress Changsun said: "Don't cry, Lizhi. Your father will definitely investigate the murderer and give him justice."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Li Lizhi said.
She couldn't do anything to help Lin Xuan, so she could only cry to her mother.
Empress Changsun comforted Li Lizhi, and when she saw that Li Lizhi's mood had eased, she allowed her to go back.
…
Wang Ze had a forced smile on his face as he dealt with those who greeted him.
After leaving the palace, Wang Ze said goodbye to the others and got into the carriage.
As soon as he entered the carriage, the smile on Wang Ze's face disappeared, replaced by a look of ashen.
Wang Qingyun walked anxiously up and down the hall. When he saw his father coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.
Wang Ze glared at Wang Qingyun, telling him to swallow what he wanted to say.
Wang Ze sent the servants away and scolded: "What do you look like in such a panic?"
Wang Qingyun didn't care about this and asked: "Dad, how are you doing now?"
Wang Ze said: "Li Shimin has ordered Li Daozong to conduct a thorough investigation."
Wang Qingyun panicked and said, "Dad, you won't find us, right?"
Wang Ze glared at Wang Qingyun and said, "What does this matter have to do with us? Just go ahead and do what you are supposed to do. Don't mess up!"
How could it have failed if we weren't in Chang'an, and we were pressed for time and couldn't get a crossbow.
Thinking of this, Wang Ze was very unwilling.
If this matter is not handled well, the family's impression of him will definitely be reduced a lot.

Qiaoguo Gongfu
Chai Lingwu was very upset when he learned that Lin Xuan was assassinated but did not die.
He and Lin Xuan had no feud, but because of Yuchi Baolin's incident, he hated Lin Xuan, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaidao.
"You are lucky. When I get better, I will play with you slowly." Chai Lingwu said coldly.
…
Manna Hall
When Li Shimin was angry about Lin Xuan's private deployment of troops, Queen Changsun came.
Li Shimin's expression softened a little and he asked: "Guanyin Maid, why are you here?"
Empress Changsun walked behind Li Shimin, helped Li Shimin hold him down, and said: "Li Zhi ran to find me to cry. I will definitely come to His Majesty to talk to you."
"snort!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "I haven't even gotten married yet, and I started to turn my elbows outward."
Empress Changsun said a little funny: "Your Majesty, are you jealous?"
Li Shimin turned his head and said, "I'm never jealous."
Speaking of being jealous, Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed.
When he rewarded Fang Xuanling with two beauties, Fang Xuanling's wife disagreed.
He asked someone to fill a pot of vinegar, saying it was poisonous wine, and asked her to choose one.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fang would rather die than agree. Since then, Empress Changsun has laughed at him several times about this matter.
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "In order not to worry Li Zhi, why don't your Majesty send more people to protect him."
Li Shimin said angrily: "He didn't need me to send people, he just dispatched troops from the military camp."
It is a taboo to deploy troops privately.
Why is Li Shimin not angry? It's just that he knew that the Wang family was going to take action against Lin Xuan, but deliberately didn't notify him, so he felt a little guilty.
In addition, Lin Xuan did not mobilize many troops, so he did not have an attack.
However, Li Shimin had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to take back the military power from Lin Xuan after this incident.
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, Lin Xuan still lacks a bit of background compared to other nobles. So many soldiers have died, and no one is available. It is understandable to mobilize some soldiers."
Li Shimin said: "I understand, otherwise I would have asked people to arrest him long ago."
The reason was that Li Shimin did not intend to tell Queen Changsun.
…
Li Dejiang did not keep Lin Xuan waiting for long, and delivered what Lin Xuan needed in the afternoon.
Zhang Chuchen provided not many people, only eleven people.
After reading the information, Lin Xuan took out one of them and asked, "Why are there still women?"
It's not that he looks down on women, but according to the data, this woman is over sixty years old.
Not many men can maintain their fighting ability at the age of sixty, let alone women.
Li Dejiang said: "My mother said that Guo Lanhua's martial arts skills were very high, and he even saved my mother's life back then."
so what?
Want me to help her take care of herself?
Or is she a child from Tianshan who can rejuvenate her youth?
"For the Moral Award, I want someone who can kill people. This senior is so old, so it's better not to disturb her." Lin Xuan said.
Li Dejiang said: "I didn't ask you to recruit her. The youngest of these people are in their forties. Many of them were celebrities in the world in the past. Now they have retired from the world, so it is basically impossible to recruit her. But people like them
People like to have apprentices. What my mother means is, just recruit their apprentices."
Lin Xuan nodded. He still had a headache before. With the skill of these people, they should not be short of money.
It's really not easy to recruit.
But their disciples are different.
Now that the world is stable and not as easy to mess with as it was in the late Sui Dynasty, it should be easier to recruit.
"Dejiao, please go back and thank your aunt for me. When I finish my work, I will definitely pay you a visit in person." Lin Xuan said.
Li Dejiang smiled and said, "You're welcome. My mother said she likes your tea. If you want to thank her, just give her more tea."
"This is a small matter." Lin Xuan asked Chun Yue to get five boxes of top-quality Longjing.
The top-quality ones weigh just over a hundred kilograms in total, and five boxes equal five kilograms.
After seeing off the Li De Award, Lin Xuan looked at the information and had a headache.
These people are all over the world. Even though they have addresses, it takes a lot of effort to find them.
The main reason is that he doesn't have suitable candidates at his disposal.
Xue Rengui is suitable, but he has a military position and cannot leave for too long.
He couldn't leave by himself.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Xuan called Lin Ping.
"I've met the young master!"
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "I have a confidential matter to entrust to you, but it is a bit dangerous. Are you willing to go?"
Lin Ping's father is the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion. He has been with Lin Dongyang for more than ten years, and he can still be trusted.
It's just that these people all have martial arts skills, and it's not clear what their personalities are like.
If Lin Ping angers them, his life may be in danger.
Lin Ping said solemnly: "Sir, you are not afraid of danger."
Lin Xuan nodded, handed over the information, and said: "Go to these people and try to recruit them. If they don't want to, you can recruit their apprentices. You can accept the conditions if they are willing to do so, as long as they are not too excessive."
Come down."
Although those people are quite old and are not easy to recruit, how will you know if you don't try.
These people are experienced and can help him train people even if they are old.
