Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 47
Wang Xiao returned to the Grand Master's Mansion, but within a short time of freshening up, the news of his assassination had already spread throughout Zhongqing City.

Although it was late at night, many people still got up from the bed after receiving the news.He has already rushed to the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion and asked to see Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao changed his clothes, and he no longer looked embarrassed.Hearing a group of courtiers begging for an audience at the door, Wang Xiao snorted coldly, looked at the confidantes sitting in the lobby, and said meaningfully:
"Oh, are there really so many people who are concerned about my safety? I'm afraid that most people will use the order of the visit to do the tempting thing!"

Hearing the words, the confidantes present at the scene were a little uncertain about Wang Xiao's meaning, and they all lowered their heads and dared not answer.

On the other hand, Zhong Li, seeing the silence of the crowd, immediately cheered up, put on a flattering smile, and flattered him:
"The grand master is the Zijin Liang of our Yun Kingdom. Your safety is related to the stability of the Yun Kingdom. The courtiers are naturally concerned."

Wang Xiao glanced at Zhong Li lightly, but didn't speak.

Seeing Wang Xiao's indifferent attitude, Zhongli looked at the colleagues around him and saw that they lowered their heads and did not dare to answer, then he vaguely understood something, and closed his mouth resentfully.

"That assassin must not be let go! Li Lian, the people under your command in the Tingwei Mansion are the most familiar with the capital, and you will lead the search and arrest, with the full cooperation of the city defense army and the imperial army!"

Li Lian arched his hands, bowed and said:

"Follow the order of the Grand Master!"

Wang Xiao nodded, and glanced at everyone present, narrowing his eyes for a long time, before saying quietly after a long time:

"Okay, you guys have seen me, so you can rest assured. Go back to rest earlier, and you will be safe for a while."

Every word Wang Xiao said today seemed to carry a deep meaning.All the confidantes, even Zhong Li, who has always been a good-for-nothing, noticed something was wrong.

At this time, Wang Xiao opened his mouth to chase away people, and all his confidants didn't dare to stay any longer, so they hurriedly stood up and left.

Wang Xiao just sat in the lobby, watching all the confidantes leave.

Seeing all the confidantes leave, Tie Shengwen, who had been standing behind Wang Xiao, bowed down and asked softly:

"What the grand master said today seems to have a deep meaning."

Wang Xiao's eyelids twitched, and he said in a deep voice:
"I've returned in secret, although it's not a secret. But those who can know in advance are only a few people in my confidantes."

When Tie Shengwen heard the words, he was suddenly startled and hesitated:
"The grand master is suspicious, someone betrayed the grand master?"

"The first assassination I encountered on the way was definitely not a random idea! With all the manpower and preparations, and several masters leading the battle, it must have been planned for a long time."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiao suddenly sneered and said:
"And after escaping the first assassination, in order to be safe, I have sent people back to Beijing to report three times, and I want you to mobilize the army to come to meet you."

Tie Shengwen was stunned for a moment, then his face showed horror, and he swore:

"But, but... grand master, Shengwen swears to heaven, he has not received any news, and he has never seen anyone come to report!"

Wang Xiao nodded and said:

"I know it's not you."

All of Tie Shengwen's power is actually based on the fact that he is the most trusted staff member around Wang Xiao.Just like the relationship between the emperor and the eunuch, one is prosperous and the other is damaged.

Of course, even if Tie Shengwen betrayed, it is absolutely impossible to hide the news that someone came back to ask for help.Because everyone in Grand Master's Mansion is Wang Xiao's people.

Wang Xiao stood up, with a deep expression, and said:
"Two eighth-level masters suddenly appeared in the palace, and then disappeared without a trace. It is impossible to find out why these two people entered the palace. To be on the safe side, I set off early and hurried back to Beijing. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid this is a scheme by the people behind it!"

Tie Shengwen narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said:
"Arrange two masters to deliberately show off their feet and force the grand master to return to the capital early. On the way, they set up ambush for many master assassins to assassinate the grand master. Then arrange manpower to kill all those who came back to report. In the end, even if the grand master escapes from the siege, There is also another master chasing and killing along the road..."

When Tie Shengwen said this, he couldn't help taking a breath, and said:
"So, the people behind this, the forces in Beijing, and the masters under them are all too terrifying!"

Wang Xiao shook his head and said:

"Since this person only dares to hide in the dark and attack me, the power under him is obviously not enough to compete with the Grand Master's Mansion. Compared with these, I am even more afraid that this person can develop under my nose. Such power!"

"Shengwen, I can't trust others now. Are you willing to investigate this matter for me?"

Tie Shengwen immediately lowered his head and cupped his fists, and said firmly:
"Will go through fire and water for the Grand Master, no matter what!!"

Wang Xiao looked at Tie Shengwen, nodded, and said:

"Okay, and before that, the assassin captured by his subordinates should be from the local tribe. This person was brought back all the way, and now he is in the dungeon of the Grand Master's Mansion. You go to interrogate it yourself and do your best to track it down!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xiao's eyes showed awe-inspiring killing intent, and his voice was cold, adding:

"I give you the right to be cheap, and don't let go of any relevant clues, and don't leave anyone involved!"

Tie Shengwen raised his head in astonishment upon hearing this.

You must know that the previous Wang Xiao cared very much about the reputation of Qing Shi, acted with extreme restraint, and never said such murderous words.

Wang Xiao noticed Tie Shengwen's astonished expression, lowered his eyes, and said in a firm voice:

"In such a situation, use thunderous means!"

Although the name of future generations is important, this is a question that he really has to consider after the change of dynasty.If he is completely defeated, don't even think about it, he will definitely leave a bad reputation forever!
Tie Shengwen wanted to understand the joints, narrowed his eyes, and said murderously:

"Don't worry, grand master, Shengwen understands!"

Xiao Cheng looked at Guo Xie standing in front of him with a very strange look, and said:
"Didn't I let you go back? Why are you here again?"

Guo Xie heard this and explained:

"At this time, the commotion in the city is getting louder and louder. All the streets are full of government soldiers and horses. I am worried about His Majesty's safety, so I rushed over and wanted to escort His Majesty back to the palace."

Xiao Cheng waved his hand and said:

"It's not easy for me to leave alone?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Cheng pointed to the comatose middle-aged man on Guo Xie's back, shook his head and said:
"Also, you brought this person to escort me back to the palace?"

What Guo Jie was carrying on his back was the middle-aged swordsman who had driven Wang Xiao into a mess.

Guo Xie hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and raised his hand to throw the person behind him down.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Xiao Cheng hurriedly said when he saw Guo Xie's movements.

Guo Xie paused and said:

"Your Majesty, I see that this man is even more tenacious, and I feel admiration in my heart. In addition, he seems to have a grudge against Wang Xiao, so I want to recruit him to work for Your Majesty... But since bringing him will expose His Majesty If there is no risk, the minister will throw him down."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing and said:

"What I mean is that you don't need to be escorted. You should settle this person first. This person will be useful to me in the future!"

Above the middle-aged man's head, four white characters of "Western Han Ranger" shine.

[Ju Meng, a hero of the Western Han Dynasty, loves to fight against injustices, helps the weak and the poor, and does not ask for anything in return, so he is known to the princes.
