Wu Zetian heard the news that Zhang Lin said, and first did not believe it. Everything can be faked, but the emperor cannot be faked. Yesterday, on the city tower, she saw Li Dan with her own eyes and sat on the enemy's horse. Although she couldn't see it clearly, she automatically chose to believe it because in her heart, Li Dan has always been a cowardly person and is easily exploited. What's more, Li Baide was once the prince's tutor and his teacher. The teacher-student relationship between them is to some extent, even intimate with their mother-son relationship.

"Emperor, Wuya is an enemy assassin, not a surrender. Under our torture, he had to tell this secret. Logically, he had no need to say anything about the great secret that was not conducive to the rebels, and he had no need to tell lies."

Zhang Lin reminded calmly in a tone.

When two armies fight, they would rather say the false as real than the true as fake when they are in war. As an assassin sent by the enemy, Wuya should be a loyal enemy member. Generally speaking, secrets that are not good for the enemy will not be exposed.

After figuring this out, a hint of joy finally appeared on Wu Zetian's face:

"Okay, this is a great thing!"

After being delighted, her brows locked deeply again, and a look of melancholy appeared on her face. Because she immediately thought that before she really came out to clarify, for the soldiers on both sides, the fake ones were real. Li Baide could not admit that the "emperor" in their hands was fake, unless she really came out to speak. And where was the real one?

"Now that the two armies are about to fight, it is urgent to find the emperor's heir. Ganglie Gong, I will limit you to find the whereabouts of the emperor's heir within three days!" Wu Zetian's voice was gentle and stern, and his tone was unquestionable.

Ye Yu keenly discovered that in the past, the emperor had never set a deadline for Zhang Lin's mission, but this time, it was limited to three days. It can be seen that after some changes, the emperor's attitude towards him had changed a lot. She welcomed this change. If one day, the emperor was indifferent to Zhang Lin and was ruthless, she would be happier.

However, the emperor just saw Zhang Lin's eyes with dementia and hope, and this situation made Ye Yu feel worried and nervous again. Of course, she covered up all her mental activities well and did not reveal any of them.

"I obey the order!" Zhang Lin bowed and replied loudly. Although he felt that he was not sure about finding the whereabouts of the emperor's heir within three days, he could not bargain with the emperor. The emperor's words were golden words, and he could not change it if he said it. At present, the emperor's anger towards him has not yet been eliminated. If he dared to bargain, it would be like he was uncomfortable.

Ye Yu was worried about Zhang Lin. The emperor's heir has been missing for no less than ten days. During these ten days, Dongchang and Qianniuwei have been searching all over the city, but they have not found any clues. Now the emperor has only given him three days. How to find it?

Zhang Lin agreed very readily, which does not mean that he would not make any requirements. Relying on the power of a yamen in the East Factory alone is tantamount to finding a needle in the seabed. He added softly: "Your Majesty, can I call Qianniu Guards, Jinwu Guards and Supervisors to jointly handle the case? In order to find out the landing of the imperial heir faster?"

This joint team was established to find Ye Yu. After Ye Yu was found, it naturally disbanded.

"Accurate!" Wu Zetian shook his sleeves and said in a cold voice. Although she was not happy with Zhang Lin, she did not want to delay the major affairs of the court in order to make her angry. As long as she could find the royal heir as soon as possible and defeat the morale of the rebels in one fell swoop, she could agree to any conditions. Of course, if Zhang Lin proposed to change the deadline to four or five days, she would never agree, because that was to challenge her authority.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Lin thanked.

"Have you ever interrogated what the assassin's purpose of entering the underground palace?" Wu Zetian looked at Zhang Lin and asked. This was the focus of her concern. However, until now Ye Yu and Zhang Lin did not mention a word, so she could only ask on the initiative.

Zhang Lin raised his hand and touched his forehead and answered truthfully: "We have interrogated, and the assassin Wuya said that it was not him who went to the underground palace, but his companion Li Zitang, and the two of them did not enter the palace at the same time, so he was not aware of the purpose of his companion going to the underground palace."

"Why did that evil man go to the underground palace?" Wu Zetian's face showed a hint of suspicion, and he walked irritably behind the dragon case, muttering to himself.

Zhang Lin and Ye Yu looked at each other, but they couldn't understand why Wu Zetian asked about the assassin's entry into the underground palace? Could it be that she was worried that Li Zitang would rob Shangguan Wan'er?

"Your Majesty, we only interrogate. Li Zitang's purpose of sneaking into the palace was to assassinate Gangliegong. The reason why he arrived at the underground palace was probably because he could not find the direction and mistakenly entered the land." Ye Yu smiled slightly, "The reason why Wuya entered the Shendu was to destroy the powerful crossbow cart. The crossbow cart made Li Baide and the rebels frightened, so they tried every means to destroy it. Therefore, we must strengthen the protection of the crossbow cart."

"The rebels want to destroy the crossbow cart?" Wu Zetian was shocked when she heard this. Yesterday she witnessed the power of the crossbow cart with her own eyes. The reason why she can sleep soundly is because of the existence of the crossbow cart. If the crossbow cart is destroyed, she will not be sure to defeat the rebels in the future.

Thinking of the bad result, Wu Zetian immediately ordered a eunuch to go to the city tower to pass an order, so that the defenders on the city tower would strictly strengthen the guards of the crossbow chariots to avoid being destroyed by the enemy.

After Zhang Lin and Ye Yu left, Wu Zetian kept Di Guangyuan, who had been nervous, and scared the latter into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Wu Zetian only asked about Xiaomei's situation and did not blame him for his deliberate concealment.

After returning to the East Factory, Zhang Lin made several arrangements.

1. He ordered Yang Zhuo to secretly leave the city, sneak into the rebel camp, and find out whether the imperial heir was true or false in the other camp. Although he confirmed from Wuya's mouth that the imperial heir was fake, he still wanted to confirm again. Because it was very difficult to find the imperial heir in the city. If he could be sure that it was really in the rebel camp, then there was no need to find it.

2. Let Huang Shengyan provide all the archives about Qiu Shuang. Qiu Shuang accepted the secret letter from the snake spirit, framed herself secretly, and attacked Shangguan Wan'er at the same time. Her identity must be exposed, and this requires definite evidence. After all, she is already the number one female official around Wu Zetian, and she must be very cautious.

Third, he ordered people to invite General Wu Youxu, General Dong Han of the Jinwu Guard, and General Xia Yan of the Supervisor to come to the East Factory to discuss matters. Both the Jinwu Guard and the Supervisor to guard the Gonghe City, so Zhang Lin could not bother their generals to leave their posts.

The three of them arrived as promised.

Zhang Lin briefly informed the three of them about the specific situation, hoping that the four parties would work together to find the whereabouts of the imperial heir within three days.

Next, Zhang Lin divided the entire god into four pieces, and each yamen was responsible for finding one piece.

"I can only find the emperor's heir for three days. I can only give you two and a half days." Zhang Lin said in an extremely serious tone.

Everyone, including Wu Youxu, felt that Zhang Lin's temperament and style of conduct had changed. However, Zhang Lin's words were unquestionable, and they could not express opposition, but could only express acceptance.

Of course, Zhang Lin also informed everyone of the specific situation he had so far: "According to Admiral Ye's reaction, the emperor's heir is in the hands of Xiaomei, a master of snake spirit. Of course, we cannot give up the search of the spirit wolf. After all, she did not see the emperor's heir being handed over to Xiaomei with her own eyes, right? Admiral Ye?"

In fact, everyone has already grasped this situation, and no one has any objection to this.
