Zong Tai took it and looked it up, all the records on it were the records of some ministers and generals entering and leaving the palace. After the emperor went out, the records were blank, that is to say, after the emperor went out, no one entered or left the palace.

That's weird!

Zong Tai took the entry and exit records and quickly returned to the lobby to report to Tuoba Tao: "Your Majesty, the old slave did a preliminary investigation just now, and found no suspicious persons!"

"Not found?" Tuoba Tao's face was a bit ugly, but it became even uglier after hearing Zong Tai's words, "How could it not be found? You increase the scope of your investigation, and you must investigate the spies hiding around me." come out!"

Zong Tai was about to agree, when Wan Du came in with his armor clasped in his armor, and reported, "Your Majesty, a problem was found in a shop opposite the palace. They were tied up and hid under the bed, but no one else was found. According to the owner of the shop, a group of people suddenly broke into the shop yesterday afternoon at Shen Shi and kidnapped them, and then monitored every move of Xinggong in his shop!"

Tuoba Tao breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and said: "So, I was targeted by them just after I left the palace?"

"It should be, the end will ask the family of three to identify the corpses, and the family of three all confirmed that the assassins were the ones who broke into his shop! But... they said that one or two people seemed to be missing from the corpses." Individuals, I didn’t count carefully at the time. The final general has ordered the entire city to be under martial law, and sent troops to search every house, but all suspicious people are arrested and interrogated one by one. Those who slip through the net must be caught! Such a serious assassination happened in Suiyang City, It's a minister who has neglected his duty, please punish him!"

Tuoba Tao was silent for a while, and asked: "Who is responsible for the security affairs during this period?"

"The public order in the city has always been taken care of by Captain Tang Mang!"

"Declaration, Tang Mang seriously dereliction of duty, sent to prison for crime!" Tuoba Tao declared Tang Mang's fate in one sentence.

"... Comply with the order!"

Tuoba Tao nodded, and ordered: "Pass down the order, if there is a fish that slipped through the net, let me live, and I will see who wants to kill me!"

"According to the order!"

After midnight, the entire palace fell into silence, only the patrolling soldiers carrying lanterns lined up to patrol everywhere.

At the place where Emperor Tuobatao slept, there were four soldiers standing at the door. Just as a group of patrolling soldiers passed by, two men in armor appeared at the corner of the house.

"Master, let me go!" the young soldier whispered to the older soldier.

The elder soldier held down his apprentice: "There are powerful masters around the barbarian chief, and the possibility of success with your skills is very low. I, Lu Xuanbo, are only an apprentice like you. As a teacher, I can't let you fall here. You are here to accept as a teacher!"

"Can······"

"Do you know why the teacher didn't go out to reinforce the barbarian chieftain when those people attacked? One is to use those people to test the strength of the guards around the barbarian chieftain, and the other is to sneak into the palace with soldiers dressed as escorts. This is the only chance for you and me! Stay here and take care of me as a teacher!"

"······Yes!"

Lu Xuanbo's figure flashed into a dark place, his figure kept moving in the dark place, his body was light.

One of the soldiers standing guard at the door yawned, but this yawn was the last yawn in his life. Lu Xuanbo suddenly stepped out, and the cold light of a sword flickered several times in a row. With just one breath, the four soldiers even Before warning, he slowly fell to the ground.

Lu Xuanbo reached out and fixed the bloody sword on the gate, the gate opened slowly, a few lamps were lit in the hall, and two maids knelt by the table and dozed off.

A gust of wind blew past, and all the lights went out in an instant. The temperature of the entire lobby and even the rooms next to it seemed to drop a few degrees at this moment.

Being

Tuoba Tao, who was sleeping soundly in the room, was extremely vigilant, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Who?"

A cold light suddenly flashed in the dark room, and this cold light shot straight at Tuoba Tao's chest.

Suddenly there was a sharp shout from the door of the room: "Dare you, thief!"

Lu Xuanbo, who was about to stab Tuoba Tao's chest with a sword, instantly felt a strong crisis coming from his back. In the darkness, his eyes froze, and his body moved sideways instantly, but the sword in his hand still stabbed at Tuoba Tao without hesitation. Ba Tao's chest.

There was a "ding" sound of metal clashing, Lu Xuanbo's face changed drastically, he didn't expect Tuoba Tao to wear the body armor.

"Pfft..." There was a piercing pain in his back, which made Lu Xuanbo feel half of his body lose consciousness instantly, and he quickly slammed into the window next to him.

With a bang, the window was smashed, and Lu Xuanbo rolled on the ground and quickly got up and rushed out.

"Assassins, there are assassins, catch the assassins!" The whole palace was in chaos in an instant.

Chapter 92 Picked up someone

Zhao Junsheng was awakened by a lot of footsteps and shouts. He was sitting cross-legged in a small room next to the back kitchen. After being awakened, he quickly got up, opened the door and walked out.

A group of soldiers passed by, and he grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened?"

"There are assassins!" The soldier left in a hurry and ran away.

Zhao Junsheng was stunned: "Isn't it? The assassin took an action outside, and then sneaked into the palace to assassinate? So persistent?"

At this time, the cooks and helpers who were sleeping in the nearby Datong shop all came out in their clothes. Zhao Junsheng waved and shouted: "Don't look, it has nothing to do with you. We will start cooking in another hour. Give it to me." Go back to bed!"

The cooks and helpers retreated back to the room one after another, Zhao Junsheng didn't care whether they were still asleep or not, he was about to go to the front to check the situation, but found that there was no movement, but the inspection was still going on, he thought for a while and turned back The room continued to meditate cross-legged to practice internal strength.

Not a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Junsheng was awakened by the sound of killing again. He opened his eyes and cursed: "What, is it over yet? This Tuoba Tao is really unpopular, and the assassins are fighting against him." !"

After scolding, Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to get up again, open the door and go out.

After walking for a while, I met a lot of soldiers and horses along the way, and was about to find someone to find out if the assassin had been caught, when I immediately ran into Chang Wei, no, Zong Ai now.

"Brother Zong!"

Seeing that it was Zhao Junsheng, Zong Ai quickly asked, "Brother Zhao, why are you here?"

"It's not that simple to prepare meals for thousands of people. I'm living here now. By the way, there was a lot of noise just now, what happened?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Zong Ai looked left and right, pulled Zhao Junsheng aside and said in a low voice: "An assassin sneaked in to assassinate the emperor, and he did it once first, leading the guards away. , the assassin killed another carbine, and the emperor almost died. If my adoptive father hadn't blocked it in time, the emperor couldn't have been stabbed in the arm!"

Zhao Junsheng felt chills when he heard this, the assassin was so powerful that he actually adopted the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, he quickly asked: "Where is the assassin?"

"I was killed by the emperor with a single knife. My adoptive father fought with him and both sides were hurt. The emperor took the opportunity to draw the sword and killed the assassin!"

Zong Ai's description of the process was very simple, but Zhao Junsheng could imagine how dangerous and intense the scene was, and he felt sweat on his forehead when he heard it.

"Okay, then I won't delay you to serve the emperor and your adoptive father. Farewell!"

"Brother Zhao, go slowly!"

On the way back to the back kitchen, Zhao Junsheng kept asking who was going to kill Tuoba Tao, was it the court minister, the clan prince, Hu Xia, Rou Ran, or someone sent by Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty?

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the nearby flower garden, and Zhao Junsheng was startled: "Who!"

Suddenly there was no movement in the flower garden. Zhao Junsheng looked around, carefully jumped off the flower garden from the corridor, and walked over slowly.

At this time, he felt that there was danger behind him, and he was about to throw out the embroidery needle with his backhand, but he felt that the other party didn't seem to have any killing intentions.

"If you have something to say, don't do it, don't do it!" Zhao Junsheng raised his hands.

"Don't... make a sound, turn... come here!"

Zhao Junsheng did as he did, and slowly turned around with his hands raised. The man in front of him was a soldier in armor, and he said quickly: "This soldier, I am my own. Meals for ministers and generals!"

The soldier staggered, the long sword slipped from his hand, and he fell down in the flower garden.
