Tang's dining table

Yunchu went out to find a bad guy and gave instructions, and whistles suddenly sounded in Chang'an City.

When the whistle sounded, Wannian County and Chang'an County's cities and towns closed their doors one after another. At the same time, Pingkangfang, Jinchangfang, Guangfufang, Anyefang, and four commercial markets were closed at the same time. Businesses in the east and west cities have also closed down, and the gates have been closed at the same time. People who have no time to go home need to wait for the bad guys to be confirmed before they can return to the city.

After arranging these things, Yun Chu had time to return to the mourning hall. At this time, Guo Daifeng was foaming at the mouth, and signs of poisoning had appeared.

Yun Chu pulled out the crossbow arrow, made an incision at the wound, and without hesitation cut out the flesh near the wound. Then he sent someone to take him to the Imperial Hospital to continue removing the poison.

Xue Rengui's pursuit of the assassin naturally returned in vain. The assassin who dared to kill someone in this situation must be a dead soldier.

The moment he discovered that the crossbow arrow had not hurt Li Ji, the assassin decisively stabbed Li Ji in the heart and committed suicide.

The murder weapon is a bamboo tube that can be broken open. As long as it is broken open, the bamboo tube becomes the force arm of the crossbow. There is also a chute inside the bamboo tube. Although it can only place one crossbow arrow, because it is inconspicuous, it is a A very good assassination weapon. When everyone was studying this thing, Yun Chu looked down on this assassin. It was because he heard a faint sound of a bow string that Yun Chu could make preparations in advance. If it was a blow arrow, the one who would be poisoned now would be Li Ji.

The assassin was a pretty Silla maid, who was the trophy that Li Ji and his companions brought back from Silla. Although the Duke of E was paralyzed in bed, he was assigned a lot of Silla maids, Goguryeo maids, and Baekje maids because of the victory in the Liaodong War. .

Seeing the body of the maid, Yun Chu knew that his chances of catching a few Silla spies were already slim.

After all, there were too many people from the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong that Li Ji and others brought back from Liaodong. Just one city of Chang'an housed no less than 20,000 people, and most of these 20,000 people were scattered among the wealthy people in Chang'an City. In other people's homes.

Yun Chu did not have the power to search the city. This could only be done after the newly formed Commander-in-Chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division requested the emperor's order.

Li Ji obviously thought about this problem and promised Yun Chu not to touch this maid or that maid as much as possible from now on.

The only person who had any credit in this farce was Guo Daifeng, who blocked the crossbow arrows with his body and saved the life of Ying Gong Li Ji.

In the evening, when they heard that Guo Daifeng had woken up, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Su Dingfang and others were ready to visit Guo Daifeng, a meritorious minister.

As for Yun Chu's use of Guo Daifeng to block Li Ji's arrows, everyone regarded it as non-existent, and Yun Chu didn't care about this credit.

As long as there is merit, it must belong to the military generals. On this point, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Yaojin have long reached a consensus.

Guo Daifeng almost died. When Yunchu saw him, this guy's face was as golden as paper and he was so weak that he couldn't even speak, because Lao He had only two ways to treat poisonous injuries, one was to let out a lot of blood. Another is to induce vomiting by pouring large amounts of soap locust water.

Because it was a traumatic poisoning caused by a crossbow arrow, naturally the only way to go was bloodletting. Although the method was a little rough, it still saved Guo Daifeng's life.

"Don't be resentful. This is your life. If he doesn't like you, at least he has no intention of killing you."

Li Ji simply said it in front of Guo Daifeng and Yun Chu, hoping that Guo Daifeng would not feel resentful, and also hoped that Yun Chu would be merciful and not specifically target Guo Daifeng.

"You can obviously catch the crossbow arrow with your hands, but you want to drag me over to suffer." Guo Daifeng said weakly.

Yun Chu looked at Guo Daifeng and said, "Ever since I heard that you were going to Liaodong to find General Qibi Heli, I just wanted to see your excitement.

I didn't expect that an assassin would appear today. I felt weak, so I pulled you over to top the tank to save your Guo family from the disaster of annihilation. "

Guo Daifeng asked doubtfully: "How do you say that?"

Yun Chu said coldly: "I won't tell you. I have nothing to do. Think more about whether you can get through my nonsense."

Guo Daifeng saw the indifference on Yun Chu's face. Although he disliked Yun Chu very much, he didn't know why, but he actually believed that what Yun Chu said was the truth.

With great difficulty, he said to Ying Gong, who looked confused and confused: "Please Ying Gong, please help me clarify my doubts."

Su Dingfang said on the side: "I and others don't know. Take good care of your health, think more about it while you are recuperating, and don't go out if you have nothing to do on weekdays."

After Su Dingfang finished speaking, he pulled Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin out of the room. When Yun Chu left, he looked at Guo Daifeng and said, "You idiot who fell into a trap without knowing it, it's so embarrassing to be with you. "

After saying that, he closed the door and left. Guo Daifeng, who was lying on the hospital bed, supported his body and roared: "You should say it..."

After Yunchu went out, he found that Li Ji and his group had disappeared.

Of course, Yunchu would not directly tell Guo Daifeng that Qibi Heli's disappearance was the result of the battle between several forces.

The reason why the emperor appointed Qibi Heli to stay in Liaodong was that Qibi Heli was loyal enough.

The reason why Qibi Heli, who was loyal enough, was left in Liaodong to look after the territory of the former Goguryeo people was because there was a large amount of iron ore in the old land of Goguryeo.

This is the confidence that the Goguryeo people have been able to fight against the Central Plains dynasty for hundreds of years. It is because Goguryeo's military armor is more powerful than that of Silla and Baekje. This is why Goguryeo can suppress the Silla people on that peninsula. Angry.

Therefore, it is very clear that whoever becomes the governor of the Andong Protectorate is in control of the heritage of the Goguryeo people.

Basically all the generals sent people to participate in this Eastern Expedition, but only one family did not send a single son to Liaodong.

Those who have no military merits will not be rewarded. This has always been the habit of the Tang Dynasty. Changsun Wuji has always been in favor of limited expeditions to the east. He believes that Emperor Li Zhi should still implement the harassment policy of the Taizong period through raids and border harassment. After exhausting Goguryeo, it was definitely not a military adventure carried out by Li Zhi.

If Li Zhi fails in this battle, it will prove that Li Zhi has not grown into a true emperor, and Changsun Wuji can even take advantage of Li Ji's defeat to regain the power of supervising the country.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi won the battle. The Tang army destroyed the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong in the shortest time and at the smallest cost with overwhelming force, and then Li Zhi's prestige reached the peak since he ascended the throne.

The defeat of the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong was also equivalent to the defeat of Changsun Wuji. The deep friendship established by the emperor and Changsun Wuji many years ago finally opened a huge gap.

In this situation, Changsun Wuji must find a stable retreat for the huge Changsun family.

The Changsun family, which has always controlled half of the iron production in the Tang Dynasty and has always made Zhaozhou, Hebei, the family base, first valued Goguryeo, a place rich in iron ore.

Therefore, Yunchu believed that Qibi Heli's disappearance must be inextricably linked to the Changsun family.

Now we are waiting for the Changsun family to plot the old land of Goguryeo. As long as they start plotting, they will basically die. It is the Changsun family who is harming Qibi Heli!

Not only did Yun Chu see it this way, but Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Yaojin also saw it this way. Therefore, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, and Yun Chu refused to go back to Liaodong to investigate the disappearance of Qibi Heli even after being beaten to death.

Everyone believed that Qibi Heli would definitely come back alive. This was also the reason why the army and the emperor had to conceal this matter.

Once Qibi Heli dies, there will definitely be a fight to the death in the court.

Since the disappearance of Qibi Heli was widely publicized, Guo Daifeng took the initiative to go to Liaodong to investigate the disappearance of Qibi Heli. In fact, everyone was quite supportive. After all, after doing so, he could at least give The court concealed its shame.

If Guo Daifeng cannot be traced, it would be a happy event to kill Guo Daifeng and silence the world.

Naturally, no one wanted to tell Guo Daifeng about such a big event. After all, Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin and others watched Guo Daifeng throw himself into a trap without saying a word. They planned to see his family destroyed, and now he was When Yunchu told the truth, he felt guilty, so naturally he would not inform Guo Daifeng of the pros and cons of the matter.

It seems that this doubt will trouble Guo Daifeng for the rest of his life.

After all, with his little wisdom, even if Changsun Wuji was killed by Li Zhi and his wife in the future, he would never think that his trip to Liaodong to rescue Qibi Heli was related to the Changsun family.

Yun Chu used him to block poisonous arrows today. He was really Guo Daifeng's savior. But everyone knew it. Guo Daifeng was the only one who still complained that Yun Chu didn't pay attention to things at all and held him to death alone. Lit.

Since he came to the Tai Hospital, Yun Chu took a look at Helan Minzhi. He didn't know what he was doing, but he was shocked when he saw Helan Minzhi lying on the hospital bed, his whole body wrapped like a mummy.

Seeing Yun Chu come in, he smiled at Yun Chu and said, "Thank you Marquis Yun for helping a certain family achieve good things!"

When Yun Chu heard this, he was surprised and said: "You have actually won it?"

Helan Minzhi chuckled and said, "It took a lot of effort after all."

Yun Chu held his hands in admiration and said: "I admire you, I admire you."

Helan Minzhi also replied politely: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Yun Chu pointed to the gauze on his body and said, "The injury is serious again."

He Lanminzhi smiled and said: "It is impossible to subdue a fierce wild horse without a little flesh and blood injury."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "I just don't know how your second aunt will view this matter. I think she might be unhappy."

He Lanmin said: "This is me, the nephew, adding glory to my aunt. In the past, she always said that I don't look like a man. This time, I finally did something that a man should do. She should praise me." of."

Yunchu really didn't know how to continue talking to Helan Minzhi, so he held his hands in admiration and left.
