Chapter 298: The Assassin Has Eyebrows
Nine people, three strong crossbows, two horned bows, and even two people were left, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, and not a single person on the other side died.
According to Wu Xingquan's plan, if this assassination is successful, even if it is a great contribution in the organization, even if it is done without authorization, it will be forgiven. In this way, he not only avenged his son, but also got benefits for himself, which is completely a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
And according to his son's retelling at the time, Wu Xingquan learned that the target's personal guard would be reduced by one, and he naturally would not miss the rare opportunity.
But now everything has changed, and the failed assassination dooms their family to a dead end, and now hiding is just the last struggle.
"Master, I beg you, concubine, please have a doctor, Qingzhi really can't stand it." Touching her son's forehead, which was getting hotter and hotter, the woman's eyes glistened with tears and she pleaded bitterly.
"This ...... Alas, well, I'll go to the doctor. Wu Xingquan turned his head to look at his dazed son who had a fever, sighed in his heart, got up and pushed open the door and walked out.
The third watch went to the doctor in the middle of the night, if it was in the past, this is a normal thing, and there is no need to worry about it at all. But now Wu Xingquan's family is fleeing for their lives, and every time they go out, there will be an additional layer of risk of being discovered.
However, Lao Wu's son is not angry, his body is weak, if he doesn't look for a doctor to see it now, I'm afraid that he will die before dawn, if that's the case, Lao Wu is planning assassination in front of him, and he is fleeing in disguise, but he will be busy in vain.
That night, the doctor and proprietor of Baicaotang disappeared completely, and no one knew where he had gone, not even the woman who slept on the same couch with him. Therefore, Chang'an City has filled in another unsolved case.
'Lanruo Temple', Li Chengqian, who was resting on the warm ondol, was awakened by the voice of the sunspot: "Your Highness, there is news." ”
"Come in and say, aren't you tired from such a distance?" Propping up his body from the kang and leaning on the cushion handed by the maid, Li Chengqian said to the door.
The door opened, and Heizi entered the room like a ghost without making a sound, followed by the Dugu brothers and sisters with not very good-looking faces, but this time Dugu Yufeng did not make any more sounds.
"Your Highness, the doctor and owner of Baicaotang, is missing." After entering the room, Heizi didn't wait for Li Chengqian to ask, so he spoke directly.
"What does it mean to be missing? Did you get lost or were you kidnapped, when was it? Can't you kid be clearer? Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said angrily to the sunspot.
In front of the Dugu brothers and sisters, Li Chengqian didn't mind being familiar with the sunspots, and used them to improve the status of some sunspots, of course, the main purpose of doing this was more to raise the status of the sunspots in Dugu Yufeng's heart.
Competent subordinates don't ask for much, so just help if you can.
"I don't know the specific reason, but the time is between the time of the child and the time of the second hour." Heizi said the news he asked from the mouth of the doctor's wife in Baicaotang, paused and said: "The minister suspects that this matter should be done by the person surnamed Wu, but now that the person is missing, it is estimated that it will not appear again in the future." ”
"That's good enough, at least we know the guy isn't out of town yet, is it?" Li Chengqian gently rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and muttered for a moment: "Arrange people within a thousand steps of Baicaotang, keep an eye on all the merchants who sell food, if someone is dressed in tatters and buys more than two people's food at a time, immediately keep an eye on it." ”
"Why?" Dugu Yufeng's eyes were unconvinced, when everyone thought that the clue was broken again, why would this person think that it could still be found.
"You just have to do it, or you have time to think for yourself, this palace has no obligation to teach you to be wise." For Dugu Yufeng, Li Chengqian didn't have a good face.
can show his face, in addition to Li Er, the eldest grandson and Lao Li, Dugu Yufeng is the fourth so far. Maybe the great Tang prince has no way to deal with the first three, but he will never be polite to the fourth.
When everyone stopped talking, Li Chengqian continued to say to the sunspot: "Go check the stock of medicinal materials in Baicaotang, see if there is anything missing, how much is missing, what is missing, and then try to analyze it." You are the leader of the 'Seventh Group', you need to have your own ideas and abilities, and you don't need to rely on me for everything in the future, understand? ”
"Kuroko understands, if His Highness has nothing else to do, Kuroko will retire." Li Chengqian gave him face, but Heizi couldn't help but know each other, so Heizi replied very respectfully.
"Go ahead, be serious." Li Chengqian nodded and instructed.
When he left Li Chengqian's room, Dugu Yufeng glared at Heizi sullenly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to be serious, I hope you can understand what His Highness means." ”
Heizi sighed, glanced at Dugu Yufeng with pity, shook his head and didn't speak, and turned around and left along the stone road, maybe just like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, this woman is already incorrigible.
At this time, in the Lizheng Palace, Lao Dugu was kneeling in front of Li Er: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and frail, and I hope that Your Majesty will have mercy and let the minister return to his hometown." ”
Li Er paced to Dugu Qingyun's side, gently pulled him up, and pointed to the chair on the side for him to sit down: "Qingyun, you and I have been a monarch for more than ten years, and you know your temperament very well, so let's tell me what the reason is." ”
Dugu Qingyun shook his head, stood in place and clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is really unable to serve Your Majesty anymore, I hope Your Majesty will be gracious." ”
Lao Dugu had a stomach full of bitter water, but for various reasons, he couldn't spit out a word, except for scolding the cheating girl in his heart, there was no way at all.
The whole thing is because of Dugu Yufeng's brutal willfulness, this is a dead knot that cannot be untied, unless his family disappears forever, otherwise the 'eyes will be repaid' Li Chengqian will definitely come to the door.
Even if he talked to Li Er about the whole thing, it was still useless in the end, because after all, it was impossible for Lao Li Bi to dismiss Li Chengqian's position as the prince because of this trivial matter, and as long as Li Chengqian was still in the position of the prince, things would return to the original point.
Li Er looked at Lao Dugu seriously, and said slowly after a while: "Have you really decided?" You've all fought the world with me in the first place, and I'm not going to let you end up, so you can say whatever it is, as long as I can do it. ”
Can it be done? Dugu Qingyun secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, his own affairs were something that His Majesty the Emperor couldn't do.
