Dozens of people led their horses away from Xingqingzhuang and returned to the official road, and galloped again.

Liuzhier still followed quietly.

That night, Tieliduan led the Wuding Hall worshipers to the villages and towns all night, and killed more than ten wanted criminals.

He is afraid that he wants to clear the entire Tanzhou world.

And in Tanzhou, it is difficult to have a master who can compare with him.

The True Martial Realm is not that easy to appear.

Inside the Changsha Royal Palace.

Yi Shiyu, eunuch of the Military Intelligence Department, hurriedly ran along the corridor to Zhao Dongting's bedroom again overnight.

The guards passing by on the road were no longer surprised. Many people took the initiative to greet the eunuch who often saw the sage and called Eunuch Yi intimately.

However, Yi Shiyu's courage did not seem to have become much more powerful because she was "favored" by Zhao Dongting. If someone greeted him, he would always nod and return the greeting with a little shy nod.

When he arrived outside Zhao Dongting's bedroom, Zhao Dongting, who was hugging Le Chan and was sleeping, was naturally woken up again.

In response, Zhao Dongting had no choice but to accept his fate.

After walking out of the room with a cloak, he saw Yi Shiyu waiting outside and asked, "Where is there any urgent response?"

Yi Shiyu replied: "Xinyang."

Then he handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhao Dongting.

"Xinyang?"

Zhao Dongting showed a slight confusion on his face, because he could not have expected any urgent military response in Xinyang.

He took the secret letter, waved his hand to let Yi Shiyu retreat, and walked into the room again.

Although he was tiptoeing, perhaps because of his conversation with Yi Shiyu just now, Le Chan, who had a very light sleep, woke up.

There was still a little rosy left on her face, and she supported herself with one hand, which was particularly tempting. She asked softly: "Master, are there any urgent reports?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and walked to the desk to sit down.

The oil lamp is slightly dim.

He pulled the secret letter out of the bamboo tube and opened it, his face that could not stop changing drastically.

Emperor Gong was assassinated in Sanjue Town, 100 miles outside Xinyang City.

The last general has brought Empress Dowager Xie and Empress Dowager Quan back to Xinyang and went to Changsha today.

Su Quan is far away.

"ah!"

Zhao Dongting even let out a low voice because of this.

Zhao Xian was assassinated, which was indeed beyond his expectations. He had never even thought about this possibility.

Le Chan heard the cry and couldn't help asking: "Master, what happened?"

Originally, the harem could not interfere in politics, but she had a close relationship with Zhao Dongting and did not have these concerns.

Zhao Dongting could not hide it from her, and frowned and whispered: "Emperor Gong was assassinated hundreds of miles outside Xinyang City."

Now, Le Chan also exclaimed.

She naturally knew about Emperor Gong and others returning to the court now.

Then she walked out of bed and asked, "How could this be?"

Even her, her eyes looked at Zhao Dongting at this moment.

Zhao Dongting looked back at her, clearly seeing the brightness in her eyes clearly, and his heart moved slightly, suddenly thinking something, and then couldn't stop smiling bitterly, "Do you think it was my hand?"

Le Chan bit her lip lightly and didn't say anything.

Zhao Dongting murmured and shook his head, "It was not my hand. Although Emperor Gong's return to the court may cause chaos in the court, I will not be able to assassinate him."

After hearing this, the doubts in Le Chan's eyes dissipated.

She believed Zhao Dongting very much.

Then, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "Master, who do you think will be the one who made the move?"

Zhao Dongting sighed and shook his head, "I don't know. Since the Yuan Dynasty sent Emperor Gong back to the court, there should be no reason to harm him. And those people in Dali should have expected that Emperor Gong, the Empress Dowager and others would make our Song court confused after returning to the court. Logically, they had no reason to assassinate Emperor Gong."

Then he said, "But your eyes just now awakened me. It is impossible for them to do this."

“Why?”

Le Chan was a little confused.

Zhao Dongting smiled bitterly and said, "Think about it, even you thought it was my order to take action. What would the rest of the world think?"

Le Chan's expression gradually froze, and deep worries appeared in her eyes.

Zhao Dongting said again: "I am afraid that it will be difficult to clear if I jump into the Yellow River this time."

At this moment, he was a little upset.

Killing Zhao Xian is definitely not a trivial matter for the entire Song Dynasty court. Just wait for the news to spread, how will the people in the court view him Zhao Dongting?

Will anyone trust him like Lechan?

Zhao Dongting knew that Lu Xiufu and others still cared about Zhao Xian very much. It is still hard to say whether they would do anything extreme because of this, but it is definitely inevitable that they will have a gap with themselves.

This is something he would never want to see.

The Song Dynasty was able to develop to such a level in such a short time because of the unity of the king and his ministers!

Putting the letter paper on an oil lamp to light it. Watching the letter paper burning slowly and the yellow and green flames, Zhao Dongting frowned and fell into deep thought.

Now we have to investigate who killed Zhao Xian. It is difficult for others to do it in Changsha. The most urgent task is to find a way to prove your innocence.

Even if he is the emperor, he will be unable to bear the matter of being angry and resentful to his brother.
