A Shence sergeant strode up to Zhang Tai's side and whispered something in his ear.Zhang Tai's brows became more and more wrinkled, and finally formed a Sichuan character at the center of his brows.

"It's unreasonable, it's too presumptuous, and there is no king's law! What's the matter with you, so many people can't keep a cell?"

Li Jing winked at Zhang Chengye, Zhang Chengye quickly said: "Father, why are you so angry?"

Only then did Zhang Tai realize that he was still in front of the generals, and he couldn't help being very rude, and said with a wry smile: "I am ashamed to make you laugh at the generals, those desperadoes and soldiers of the Imperial Army captured in Gaoling City , they were all imprisoned in Gaoling Prison, and they were going to be remanded to Chang’an tomorrow. Who knows, just now, all these people died.”

"All dead?" Everyone present couldn't help being shocked.

Zhang Tai said embarrassingly: "All dead, 180 seven suspects, all dead. Before even one of them came to interrogation, they all died. The poison happened. Someone put poison in the prisoner's food and poisoned all of them." died."

Li Jing looked at Zhang Tai carefully, and the first thing he said was that Zhang Tai did it.But thinking about it carefully, although Zhang Tai was ordered by the emperor to handle this matter, in fact he should be hoping that Tian Lingzi would make something happen.Even if such a thing can't really bring down Tian Lingzi, it can still make the emperor a little dissatisfied with him.

Thinking about it this way, then this matter can only be done by Tian Lingzi.Because, once those people died, there would be no evidence that they were sent by Tian Lingzi.

"What a cruel eunuch!" Li Jing was furious for a while. He knew that the emperor had come forward, and this matter could only be settled in the end. Even if he had another idea, it was impossible to do it under the foot of Chang'an. too many things.

But now, Li Jing couldn't swallow this breath.If this is tolerated, it is truly tolerable for uncles and unbearable for sisters-in-law.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, Zheng Congxuan acted like a good old man and persuaded in the middle: "It's fine to die, anyway, these people have a reason for their crimes."

At that moment, Li Jing remained silent, asked someone to bring paper, ink, brush and inkstone, began to write with his own hands, and wrote a letter to the emperor in front of everyone.In the excerpt, Li Jing put himself into Jinping to fight the rebellion all the way through hardships, and survived several times, which is quite thrilling.He also said that he had obtained the emperor's edict, and immediately led the army to the court without fear of traveling thousands of miles, but in Gaoling County, he was besieged and assassinated by a large army.The situation at that time was even more dangerous. If it weren't for the heavy rain and Xin Yan's sword to help, he, a triumphant hero who had just contributed to the country, would have died under the insidious murder of a eunuch.And attribute this to the fact that he refused to arrange Tian Lingzi to arrange his brother to be an official last time, and Tian Lingzi failed to ask Li Jing for money several times.In short, Li Jing was as miserable and tragic as he could be, and Tian Lingzi was as greedy and hateful as he wanted.Anyway, he also knew that this note would not have any results, it was just for the emperor to take a look.After finishing writing, it was immediately sealed and handed over to Zhang Tai.If it is handed over to him, it is not afraid that it will not be in the hands of the emperor.

Seeing that Li Jing didn't have another attack, the town commanders all thought that Li Jing had listened to the persuasion, and everyone felt relieved for a while.Li Jing really wanted to fight Tian Lingzi to the death, and it was uncomfortable for them to be caught in the middle.Moreover, they were all worried about Li Jing. Li Jing was young and promising, but his foundation was still shallow.If you really want to fight Tian Lingzi fiercely, it will be very difficult to beat him, and you will suffer a lot.

Zhang Tai returned to Chang'an in the afternoon of the same day. As a result, early the next morning, Zhang Tai came with an imperial decree to congratulate the triumphant soldiers, and finally let the whole army enter Chang'an City to present prisoners and accept inspections.

In order to show the great grace of heaven, the emperor sent a total of [-] Jinwu Guards and [-] Shence Army to accompany them this time.[-] Jinwu Guard soldiers led the way, and [-] Shence troops guarded the left and right.

The [-] triumphant army, escorted by [-] Shatuo prisoners of war, crossed the Dongwei Bridge and entered Weinan under the escort of [-] forbidden troops.

When the army arrived at the city of Chang'an, it had already accepted dusk. For the sake of grandeur, the whole army had to stay outside the city for one night. They would change their clothes in the early morning of the next day and enter Chang'an Zhuque Avenue until they reached the gate of the palace city.

After the army set up camp that day, the emperor ordered Lu Xie, the prime minister, Zheng Tian, ​​Wang Duo, Yu Cong, Li Wei and other prime ministers to bring the wine and meat bestowed by the emperor to the court. Come to condolences to the triumphant soldiers.

Zheng Congxuan, Yu Juan, Li Jing and other generals of the towns greeted them together. The soldiers of each town also received a special reward. More than 3 people received a reward of [-] guan, which is very generous.

During the banquet, Li Jing went out to change clothes halfway.

Seeing Li Jing coming out, Li Wei immediately leaned forward.

"Are things ready?" Li Jing asked in a low voice.

"Please rest assured, Commander. This time there are our Xiaoqi Division and the Plum Blossom Gate, plus those who used the Lijing Gate of Princess Xihe. We are fully prepared and we are bound to win. We will definitely teach them a profound lesson." Li Wei replied in a low voice.

Li Jing nodded his head, coming and going is not indecent, if Tian Lingzi thinks that Li Jing is easy to bully, then he is really wrong.

"One thing to remember, the purpose of this time is to teach them a profound lesson!"

"clear."

On the dark night of the moon, when the wind is high and the fire is set!

Under the dim light of the lanterns, the four servants at the gate of the Chen Mansion were lying on the ground in a mess.In front of the corridor of Chen Jingxuan's bedroom, several assassins who were hidden under the black night clothes slowly approached.

A team of servants passed by in front, and several men in black raised their hand crossbows and pressed the spring. As soon as the servants turned around, they were shot immediately, and then fell limply to the ground.

The assassins continued to move forward, making various gestures from time to time, they moved forward alternately, carefully lurking, and soon hundreds of people in the entire Chen Mansion had been brought down.

The air is filled with a strange fragrant smell, which is a kind of drug commonly used by the Plum Blossom Gate, a scent made from datura flowers.This kind of scent is very powerful, it can quickly make people's feet numb and let them fall asleep.Several vicious guard dogs raised by the Chen family were also attacked immediately, and they collapsed without even barking.

Chen Jingxuan has been sleeping very badly for the past few days, he suffered from insomnia all night, and even the beautiful concubines in the mansion couldn't make him a little bit interested.As soon as it got dark, he hid in the bedroom, terrified.Although the third brother said that the matter had been resolved by him and nothing would happen, he was still worried.Today, when the triumphant soldiers and horses arrived at the city of Chang'an, he took a special look at it from a distance.

Zhen [***] has strong soldiers and strong horses, and looking at them from a distance makes him startled.He has already offended Li Jing, a fierce tiger, and he will not let him go.

"Chen Jingxuan, hello."

A soft voice rang in his ears, but it almost knocked him out of his wits. When he opened his eyes, he saw a dozen men in black standing in his bedroom.Everyone holds weapons such as three-edged thorns, daggers, horizontal knives, long swords, and willow-leaf flying knives.

Chen Jingxuan's teeth chattered up and down involuntarily, his complexion was pale, and his heartbeat was extremely violent.

Trembling voice said: "Who are you?"

"Can't you guess who we are?" A light voice sounded, it was the voice of a young woman.

"You don't want the enemy to come, my brother is Lieutenant Tian Zhong, and all the 15 Shence troops in Gyeonggi are under his command!" Chen Jingxuan knew that Zhen [***] Li Jing had finally sent someone to kill him.

Under the flickering lights in the room, a group of black-clothed assassins laughed recklessly, completely ignoring him, not even his brother.

"15 Shence Army? Now even 150 million Shence Army can't save you." One of the men said.

"What do you talk about that nonsense, tie him up, finish the work early, and call it a day."

Chen Jingxuan wanted to say something, but the other party didn't give him the slightest chance, and directly stuffed a sock into his mouth.Then he was tied up, and then, a pleasant fragrance wafted past his nose, he only inhaled a little, and immediately his consciousness began to blur, and finally he didn't know anything.

Tian Lingtian rushed to help the little emperor get up early in the morning, but the little emperor rarely said a few harsh words to him.It's fine to talk about the previous things, but after Li Jing enters Chang'an, he must take the initiative to hold a banquet for Li Jing to apologize.The emperor's attitude was rarely tough, and he was not given a chance to speak at all.

He was not even asked to accompany the emperor in the subsequent activities of walking the horse.This incident made him feel that although the emperor was only 13 years old, he had already grown up.It was even more obvious that Li Jing was even more important in the emperor's heart than he expected.

When he returned to the Privy Council to deal with matters, he was out of state for most of the morning and was extremely upset.

Throwing a memorial aside, just about to take a rest, but an eunuch brought up a beautiful box.

"Tian Gong, a treasure box was sent in from outside the palace, it's for Tian Gong."

When Tian Lingzi saw that the box was inlaid with gold and jade, it was very beautiful and of great value, and he was a little happy in his heart.Such a precious box, I'm afraid the gift inside will be even more precious.

"What's in there?"

"It hasn't been opened yet."

"Then open it!"

The little eunuch opened the box, and there was another box inside, which was actually made of jade.Surprised at the moment, Tian Lingzi was a little impatient, so he grabbed the jade box and hurriedly opened it.

There is actually a layer of jade box inside, and there is a letter outside the jade box.

After taking the letter and opening it, there was only one sentence on it, "Here you go, baby!"

"Mystery!!" Tian Lingzi chuckled, reached out to take the fist-sized jade box, opened it, and finally revealed the contents inside.

But when he saw what was in front of him, Tian Lingzi's face changed all of a sudden, first livid, then gray, and then flushed.

The little eunuch didn't expect Tian Lingzi's face to change like this, he couldn't help sneaking a glance into the box, but couldn't help but was stunned.There were actually nine things in the small box, and there were bloodstains on them. After looking carefully, it was clear that these were the lifeblood of a man.What shocked him even more was that there was a small note attached to each of the nine life roots in the box.

Among them, the first one has the word Chen Jingxuan written on it, and the row next to it all starts with the word Chen. (To be continued.)
