This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 808 Volume Changsun Wuji also has troubles

Who is Li Er?

Would he care about an assassination attempt?
Since he started fighting wars in the south and the north, how many times has he been assassinated?
"Come closer and listen. I have something important to tell you." Just as the old eunuch from the Secret Service was about to leave, Li Er suddenly said something.

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch walked over immediately.

After Li Er whispered something, the old eunuch nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away."

Li Er waved his hand and said no more, but sent the old eunuch away.

After sending the old eunuch away, Li Er then ordered: "Pass the order down, the palace is temporarily sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order.

Since I have been assassinated, I have to look like I have been assassinated, right?"

……

Outside the palace, Changsun Wuji was still anxiously waiting for news.

Ever since they learned that Li Er had been assassinated, everyone had come to the outside of the palace. Even now, they hadn't even had lunch yet.

At this moment, no one had the mood to think about these things.

It is nonsense to say that they are not worried about Li Er being assassinated.

After all, the transition of imperial power is a time full of crises. What's more, they are now far away from Chang'an. Who knows what will happen?
Besides, almost all those present were Li Er’s founding heroes, and their honor and disgrace were actually one and the same with Li Er.

Even though the crown prince now has the qualities of a wise ruler, as the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Li Chengqian himself has a team that is capable of replacing them. How can they not be worried?

"What's going on?" Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and before the people arrived, Yuchi Jingde's rough voice started to rise.

Following closely behind were Hou Junji, Li Ji, Xue Wanche and others.

They also rushed here as soon as they received the news.

Of course, this is also because they had just returned from the capital of Siam today, otherwise they would have come here a long time ago.

"It's not a big deal." Seeing Yuchi Jingde's expression, Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "There is no news from the palace yet, but at this time, no news is the best news."

His words made many people nod subconsciously.

Indeed, at this critical juncture, no news is the best news.

"Lao Hei, don't worry." Li Ji patted Yuchi Jingde on the shoulder and said, "We don't know the specific situation at the moment. If we mess up, then everything will be messed up."

He and Yuchi Jingde have been friends for a long time, so naturally they spoke more casually.

Of course, Li Ji has always shown a relatively stable character.

Compared with Li Ji, this is really the impression Yuchi Jingde leaves on people.

Rather than saying that they are worried about Li Er's safety at this moment, it would be better to say that they are perfecting their own personality.

"Who is the murderer?" Hou Junji got to the point in one sentence.

Hearing his question, Xue Wanche, who was about to speak, suddenly stopped.

Even Yuchi Jingde and Li Ji who were in front looked at Changsun Wuji and others.

"According to the news we received earlier, it should be some guys in Siam who are unwilling to submit to our Tang Dynasty." Changsun Wuji did not hide it and continued, "But the specific situation is still unclear at the moment."

"Do those Siamese guys have the guts to do that?" Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde was immediately furious. He reacted so violently that he wished he could pick up his sword, mount his horse, and kill them right back.

"Why don't they have the courage?" Hou Junji said immediately after hearing this, "Those guys really think that they can compete with the Tang Dynasty just because it has never marched south?

He really takes himself seriously.

This time, if your majesty gives the order, I will kill all the people in Siam!"

Even though Hou Junji's words were extremely cruel, everyone actually understood what he meant.

At that moment, someone whispered, "They are both military commanders, but Duke Chechen is obviously more insightful than Duke E. If this matter were to happen now, no matter if it was done by Siam or not, it could only be done by Siam."

"Of course." Someone continued, "No matter who did it, if it is related to Chang'an and Sun Moon Mountain, the Tang Dynasty will..."

All the people present are smart people.

They all knew that as long as this matter was related to Chang'an or Sun Moon Mountain, the Tang Dynasty would inevitably be in turmoil.

These people may have their own selfish desires, but they still have principles when it comes to major issues.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside.

Although they were outside the palace at the moment, they were not on the street.

Just when everyone was curious about who had come again, a soldier in military uniform walked in quickly.

Seeing the person coming, Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Taoist Priest Sun?"

"Reply to the Prime Minister's question." The person who came was the soldier that Changsun Wuji had arranged to invite Sun Simiao in the morning. "Just when we were on our way back with Taoist Sun, a group of guys who appeared out of nowhere kidnapped Taoist Sun."

"Kidnapped?" Without waiting for Changsun Wuji to ask, Yuchi Jingde said incredulously, "So you didn't bring Taoist Sun back?"

The soldier obviously knew Yuchi Jingde. When he heard what Yuchi Jingde said, he immediately became a little nervous. After a long while, he stammered, "I am incompetent and failed to bring Taoist Sun back safely."

"Who would kidnap a Taoist priest?" Hou Junji was also indignant when he heard this.

It’s not that Sun Simiao is so important, but at this moment, no one knows whether Li Er is alive or dead, and among the doctors accompanying the army, only Sun Simiao makes them feel most at ease.

But at this critical moment, Sun Simiao disappeared. How could they not doubt the motive of kidnapping Sun Simiao?
"Don't say too much. Take me there immediately. I want to see who is the person who is determined to kill His Majesty. If we catch these people, I will make them suffer the fate of life and death!"

Yuchi Jingde immediately pulled the soldier and was about to walk out.

"Don't be in a hurry." Li Ji saw this and quickly stopped him, saying, "Let's first figure out what the situation is. We can't lose our composure at this moment."

Compared with Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji is indeed much more stable.

When he said that, Yuchi Jingde didn't say much. He put the soldier down and asked, "Hurry up and tell me what's going on."

For a moment, everyone looked at him.

The soldier Wen Yan quickly calmed down, and then he looked at everyone and said, "Originally there were no problems along the way, and Taoist Sun was also very cooperative. Because we knew the seriousness of the matter, we kept going non-stop along the way.

Basically, the Marshalls never rest. At that time, we were planning to get back tonight if nothing unexpected happened.

But about fifty miles away, a group of people seemed to have been waiting for us there and set up an ambush in a valley.

At first we thought they were just Siamese bandits, but we soon discovered that something was wrong. Those guys didn't say a word to us and went straight for Taoist Sun.

Before we could react, Taoist Sun was kidnapped. But this group of people should be just a mob. Their number is several times ours, but they didn't cause any casualties to us. "

"You mean, those people were just after Taoist Sun?" Fang Xuanling asked immediately after hearing this, "and they didn't kill you?"

"Is that so?" Although the soldier wanted to say that it was because we were brave, he did not say it in the end when facing Fang Xuanling.

"It seems that the other party's target is only Taoist Sun!" Yuchi Jingde said immediately after hearing this, "At this critical moment, kidnapping Taoist Sun, the one who has the heart to do so should be killed!"

"You know nothing!" Upon hearing what Yuchi Jingde said, Changsun Wuji, who was already at odds with him, immediately said, "The most important thing is that they didn't hurt Taoist Sun, understand?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Logically speaking, if it was just because Sun Simiao was an excellent doctor and the other party didn't want him to treat Li Er, then kidnapping him would certainly not be easier than killing him on the spot.

You know, in any case, it is more difficult to capture someone alive than to kill him on the spot.

"Did they suffer any casualties?" Hou Junji asked immediately.

When the soldier saw that it was Hou Junji who was asking the question, he turned around and said, "No, we didn't expect that someone would dare to intercept us on the road, and we didn't react for a while."

"Waste!" Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately yelled.

At this point, they knew that these guys were not unable to react, but they were simply unable to stop those people.

The reason I said this is because I'm worried about being implicated later.

However, the fact that those people were able to take Sun Simiao away unharmed did make them concerned.

At this moment, even civil servants like Changsun Wuji realized that those people were not simple.

Although they are scolded, few of these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are willing to live a lazy life.

Especially those soldiers who were able to follow Li Er in the southern expedition, who among them did not want to take this opportunity to gain military merit and receive titles for their wives and children?

"You wait aside first." After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he ignored him and said to everyone, "I was not sure before, but now, I believe you have all noticed it.

These people kidnapped Taoist Sun at this time, and they must be targeting Your Majesty.

So far, the only people who know that His Majesty was assassinated, apart from those present here, are the murderer who assassinated His Majesty this morning.

They came prepared!"

"The question is, can the remnants of Siam really do this?" At this time, Wen Yanbo stood up and said, "Let's not talk about other things. Although we know that Taoist Sun is with the army, how can the remnants of Siam know?
Even if they knew, would they be able to clearly understand how good Taoist Sun's medical skills were?

Judging from the other party's precise abduction of Master Sun, it is obvious that they know Master Sun very well.

But who knows Taoist Sun so well, and who can make Taoist Sun..."

"Duke Yu, be careful with your words." Fang Xuanling interrupted Wen Yanbo before he could finish his words. "No one knows the current situation, so there is no need to make unnecessary speculations at this time."

Who among those present didn’t know what Wen Yanbo meant?
If we were to say who knew Sun Simiao best, it was the Ming Dynasty. No one could disagree with this.

Apart from the Ming Dynasty, it is their own people who know Sun Simiao best.

But if this happens, doesn’t it involve Chang’an and Sun Moon Mountain?
Even though Fang Xuanling and Wen Yanbo were in the same camp at the beginning, he had to step forward to stop it now.

"Is this the problem now?" Yuchi Jingde said, "The problem now is how to rescue Taoist Priest Sun!
At this critical juncture, we really can't do without him!

Since you are all unwilling to move, I will just go there. No matter what kind of monster or ghost it is, I really don’t believe it.”

Yuchi Jingde's attitude remained firm.

Anyway, for him, it’s just a matter of one word: killing people, saving people, it’s that simple.

But after he said this, everyone was silent for a long time.

Obviously, they supported Yuchi Jingde in doing so.

Although everyone was confused at the moment, no matter who kidnapped Sun Simiao, rescuing him now was a serious matter.

"Since everyone has no objection, I will go now." Seeing that no one was trying to stop him, Yuchi Jingde pulled the soldier and said, "Come on, lead the way for me. Are you willing to listen to what we are discussing here?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier felt as if he had been pardoned and immediately followed.

After they left, Changsun Wuji muttered, "If anyone says that Yuchi Laohei is stupid, I will be the first one to disbelieve it."

After he finished speaking, everyone shook their heads in silence.

They knew very well what Yuchi Jingde was planning.

Now, the situation outside the palace is very dangerous. If they hadn't known the news, they would definitely not stay here.

"Let's not talk about him anymore." Li Ji was not surprised by Yuchi Jingde's behavior, and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, there is no news at all now?"

"Not yet." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "We have been waiting for a whole day, but the palace has not even opened its doors, and no news has come out at all."

"How could this happen?" Hou Junji asked immediately after hearing this. "This shouldn't happen. No matter what the situation is, Duke Qi, as the current Minister of State, shouldn't be stopped outside."

After he said this, Changsun Wuji and others fell silent.

This is the weirdest part.

Even if His Majesty is really in danger, as long as he is still conscious, he will summon them and at least make arrangements for his funeral.

If he had lost consciousness, the eunuchs would have informed them.

But the current situation is really confusing for everyone.

"The Duke of Qi is in a high position and has great power. Otherwise, the Duke of Qi..." Hou Junji said another sentence when he saw that no one was speaking.

But that was all he had to say.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Changsun Wuji.

Among those present, he was indeed the most suitable person to knock on the door and inquire about the situation.

The main reason is that the palace gates are now closed, and they have no chance to get to know some familiar eunuchs about the situation.

Chang Sun Wuji hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll just go there."

In fact, he didn't want to go. If he went to ask about the situation at this time, if Li Er really had something, that would be fine. But if Li Er was not seriously injured, it would be easy for Li Er to become suspicious.

I'm not dead yet, and you come to find out what's going on. What do you want to do?
But in this situation, everyone is looking at him as the head of all officials. If he doesn't go, it will be another blow to his prestige as the prime minister of the dynasty.

Moreover, he was also very worried about Li Er's physical condition.

At this moment, he was somewhat envious of Yuchi Jingde.
