Lin Xuan did not doubt that Zhang Zhongjian would lie to him with this. It was very likely that what he said was true.
The Wang family's mansion in Chang'an has been in operation for more than ten years. It is normal for such a long time to have secret passages.
"I can kill the Wang family father and son later." Lin Xuan said.
Zhang Zhongjian said: "I can go see Li Shimin and make him believe that you are really my disciple."
"Do you dare to see His Majesty?"
Once Li Shimin knew that Zhang Zhongjian had founded a country overseas, Li Shimin would probably take action against Zhang Zhongjian.
Li Shimin could allow other countries to exist around the Tang Dynasty, but he could never allow a country established by the Han people to exist around the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Zhongjian said confidently: "Why don't I dare?"
That's right, Li Shimin still doesn't know that Zhang Zhongjian founded the country overseas.
Zhang Zhongjian also didn't know that Lin Xuan knew about his founding of the country overseas.
By the time Li Shimin's investigation came out, he had already returned overseas.
"Are you sure you can kill the Wang family and his son?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Of course it's no problem. You can wait until the results come out before becoming a disciple." Zhang Zhongjian smiled, knowing that Lin Xuan had already agreed.
Lin Xuan said decisively: "Okay, as long as you can help me kill the Wang family father and son, I will worship you as my teacher."
"Haha, no problem. Now you can arrange a place for me to live. When you want to take action, just inform me." Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile.
Lin Xuan nodded, called the housekeeper, and asked the housekeeper to take Zhang Zhongjian to rest.
After careful consideration, Lin Xuan felt that it was okay to take Zhang Zhongjian as his disciple. Anyway, Li Shimin and Li Jing couple thought he was Zhang Zhongjian's apprentice.
On the contrary, Zhang Zhongjian did not stay in Datang for a long time. When he left Datang, he would not come back again.
…
"Your Majesty, the bearded man has been found."
"What!" Li Shimin asked quickly: "Are you sure?"
Li Mu said: "Back to Your Majesty, someone suspected that Zhang Zhongjian appeared in Chang'an. I came back to check the files and confirm that this person is indeed Zhang Zhongjian."
Zhang Zhongjian was the target that Li Shimin ordered Baiqi to look for.
So much time has passed, and no one from Baiqi has seen Zhang Zhongjian. Logically speaking, even if Zhang Zhongjian showed up in Chang'an, Baiqi would not have discovered it so quickly.
Zhang Zhongjian's appearance is really special. He is so ugly that it is difficult not to attract attention.
After the people from Baiqi discovered Zhang Zhongjian, they went back to check the files about Zhang Zhongjian. After they were sure of it, they immediately reported it.
"Where is he now?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
Li Mu said: "I am currently at the Marquis' Mansion in Jingyang County."
"It seems that Zhang Zhongjian is indeed Lin Xuan's master." Li Shimin murmured.
Lin Xuan told him before that Zhang Zhongjian was his master. Although Li Shimin expressed his belief, he still had some doubts in his heart.
After all, with Zhang Zhongjian's appearance, it is impossible not to be discovered if he comes to Chang'an.
Now it seems that he is suspicious.
Li Shimin now had the urge to go see Zhang Zhongjian immediately. After thinking about it, he finally gave up.
"Pay close attention to Zhang Zhongjian's whereabouts. If he plans to leave Chang'an, report him immediately." Li Shimin said.
"Yes." Li Mu responded and retreated.
…
At midnight, Chang'an Shengyefang, except for the occasional patrol of the imperial guards passing by, the entire city seemed very quiet.
Three figures wearing black clothes and covering their faces with black scarves quietly walked towards Wang's house.
The three of them walked into the alley to the left of Wang's house and stopped.
"I'll go in first. After you have a cup of tea, make some noise in the front and backyard respectively to attract the Wang family's guards. Then retreat and wait for me at the agreed place." Zhang Zhongjian said in a low voice.
"Senior, it's too dangerous for you to be alone. Let's go with you." Zhang Daoquan said quickly.
Cao Junwei echoed: "Yes, senior, although our martial arts skills are not as good as our seniors, there is still no problem in helping seniors stop the Wang family's guards."
When Zhang Zhongjian's fame spread throughout the world, Zhang Daoquan and Cao Junwei were still young.
The Qiu Bearded Guest has left a great name in the world. When they learned that they could act together with Zhang Zhongjian, the two of them were very excited.
But now Zhang Zhongjian actually asked them to attract the attention of the Wang family guards and then leave. The two of them couldn't accept it.
This mission was the first mission assigned to them by Lin Xuan after they joined Lin Xuan, so the two of them naturally wanted to perform well.
"Don't forget, when you came here, your Lord Marquis said that you should obey me in everything." Zhang Zhongjian said calmly.
"this…"
Zhang Daoquan and Cao Junwei pondered for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Zhongjian nodded to the two of them and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Daoquan and Cao Junwei were on alert, listening to the Wang family's movements and ready to provide support at any time.
However, the time for tea that Zhang Zhongjian promised had passed, but there was no movement from the Wang family.
"Let's do it, you in front and me in back." Zhang Daoquan whispered.
Cao Junwei nodded and said, "Okay."
One after another, the two came to the front and back yards of Wang's house and deliberately made some noise.
When they heard the shouts of 'there's an assassin' and 'catch the assassin' coming from the Wang family, the two people quickly dispersed and disappeared into the night.
Wang Ze was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by the sound outside.
"Here comes someone."
Two maids came in carrying lanterns and lit the candles in the room.
"What's going on outside?" Wang Ze asked.
"Back to my lord, someone broke into the front and back yards and was discovered by the guards," the maid said.
Wang Ze felt a sudden thought and said quickly: "Go and call the Dalang and the housekeeper."
"Yes." He responded and left in a hurry.
Not long after, the housekeeper came over first.
"What's going on outside?" Wang Ze asked quickly when he saw the housekeeper.
"Back to the master, there were two men in black in the front yard and the back yard who wanted to get in. They were spotted by the guards and immediately retreated. I was worried and asked the guards to check carefully everywhere, but nothing was found," the housekeeper said.
Wang Ze frowned slightly, could it be so easy?
"No, go and call the guards here." Wang Ze said hurriedly.
"Yes, I'll go right away, old slave," the steward said.
Just as the housekeeper left, Wang Qingyun walked in, rubbing his eyes.
"Dad, what's the matter? I'm sleeping soundly." Wang Qingyun said.
"An assassin has infiltrated the house. Come into the secret room with me first." After Wang Ze finished speaking, he was about to open the secret room.
"The response was quick, but it was already too late."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the room.
"Who?" Wang Ze exclaimed.
"The person who wants your life." A figure jumped down from the beam.
Wang Ze pretended to be calm and said: "Hero, I am a member of the Wang family. Killing me will do you no good. I am willing to offer you a thousand taels of gold. How about you take the money and leave?"
Zhang Zhongjian knew that Wang Ze wanted to delay time, so he did not talk nonsense to him and drew his sword from its sheath.
"Well…"
The cold light of the knife flashed, and Wang Ze wanted to say something else, but he could no longer say it.
thump…
Wang Ze's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.
"Dad!" Wang Qingyun looked at his father who fell to the ground, shouted, and looked at Zhang Zhongjian in horror.
Zhang Zhongjian did not waste any time and left quickly after killing Wang Qingyun.
As soon as Zhang Zhongjian left, the housekeeper came back with his guards.
"master!"
Seeing the housekeeper lying motionless on the ground with a pool of blood under his body, the housekeeper exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to check.
"Both the master and the young master are dead. Report to the official quickly. The assassin must still be in the house." The housekeeper wailed and quickly ordered the guards.
