"Assassin, catch the assassin!"

When Linjiang Palace remembered the noise of capturing the assassin, Li Ke felt quite strange and looked at Wang Xuance, and saw surprise in the other party's eyes.

The Linjiang Palace in Yangzhou is not an exaggeration to call it a dragon, pond and tiger den. At that time, the Linjiang Palace was originally the palace of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, which built high walls outside and strong walls inside.

In addition, Li Ke is stationed here, and there are five hundred right-right guards and leopard cavalry stationed in the outer courtyard of Linjiang Palace. There are nearly a hundred elite guards in the inner courtyard, and Xi Junmai. Qin Huaidao commands the inside and outside, not to mention assassins, even if the three thousand troops of Hanjiang Palace in Yangzhou attack, it will be difficult to capture. Who is so brave that he dares to assassinate Linjiang Palace?

"What's going on outside?" Li Ke asked Xi Junmai, who was guarding outside, as he heard the noise outside.

Li Ke summoned him, and after a moment Xi Junmai asked clearly, then came into the door and replied to Li Ke: "Your Highness, the brothers of the Right Guard who inspected the Northwest Corner Court sent a few assassins who had sneaked in from the back door, and are now being captured."

The backyards of Linjiang Palace are mostly housed by servants, and there are also houses and horse farms. People often enter and exit inside and outside, so the back door is not as strict as the front door and the side door. But this is Linjiang Palace after all, it is Linjiang Palace, and it is really surprising that the assassins asked to sneak in.

Li Ke asked: "There is such a matter. Have you ever found out how the thief got in?"

Xi Jun bought it back and said, "They have an insider in the palace, and they were lying to send rice and vegetables to the carriage."

Linjiang Palace covers an area of ​​more than 20 hectares, with nearly a thousand followers, guards, domestic slaves and other people in the palace. The daily cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt is very large, so there will be carriages outside coming in to deliver the daily needs of the palace. These assassins were mixed in with these food delivery people.

Although the matter was in the backyard, there was a person who was in touch with foreign enemies in Linjiang Palace. When Li Ke heard this, a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"Follow me to see." As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, he picked up the sword in his hand and went in the direction where the sound came.

Li Ke was born in the army and studied under the famous general Qin Shubao. He had good martial arts skills. He naturally couldn't hurt him in person. Xi Junmai did not dissuade him, so he went with Li Ke without dissuading him.

When Li Ke and Xi Junmai arrived at the northwest corner courtyard, a relatively spacious yard was already filled with nearly a hundred people. In a corner of the yard, the assassins who were mingled in the corner were being pressed into the corner and unable to move.

"The palace is down, the palace is down." As soon as Li Ke entered the courtyard, the right guards in the courtyard saw Li Ke and gave up one way.

Li Ke walked up to the front of the people, and Qin Huaidao, who was originally in the courtyard, was leading everyone to capture the thief, told Li Ke: "Your Highness, it's Wen Qing'er."

"Wen Qing'er?" Li Ke raised his eyes and looked up. Sure enough, among the five people who were crushed in the corner by a group of right guards with guns, one of them was Wen Qing'er, who Li Ke knew.

When Li Ke first met Wen Qing'er, he was a little surprised at first, but then he realized that Wen Qing'er came here this time, probably not to assassinate him, but to take away Zuo Youxian's corpse. After all, it was a fantasy to kill Li Ke by the five people who had sneaked into the outer courtyard.

Li Ke pressed his hand and signaled the soldiers of the Right Guard in the courtyard to put down the bow and arrow in their hands for a while, and then said to Qing'er: "You are so great that you can even reach out to your Linjiang Palace and get in."

Qing'er looked at Li Ke in front of him, and felt even more hatred. He said to Li Ke: "The ruler and ministers of Tang are unrighteous, and the people in the world want to kill them so quickly. What is a mere Linjiang Palace?"

Li Ke snorted lightly and said, "What a big tone. If you have such ability, how could you be captured here?"

Although Wen Qing'er was a prisoner, she replied without giving in: "What can you do if you capture me? There are countless eyeliners in Linjiang Palace. Sooner or later, you will take your life."

After hearing Wen Qing'er's words, Li Ke showed a smile on his face.

If Linjiang Palace really had their spies, she wouldn't say that in order to save the rest of the people. Since she said that just now, it was probably because they hadn't had many spies in Linjiang Palace, and now they were all caught in it.

In fact, Li Ke could probably guess how the eyeliner they inserted in Linjiang Palace came from. When Xiao Yuexian was taken into the palace by Li Ke from Yanyu Tower and served with him, these eyeliners must have been inserted at that time.

Li Ke looked at the five people who were injured in front of him and said to the leader Wen Qing'er: "Wen Qing'er, you are so brave. If you don't go to Jiangling to find your troubles, you will be punished again and again. Do you really think that this king can't be deceived?"

Wen Qing'er is also a straightforward person. She is now strong and weak, so she is not afraid. Instead, she shouted to Li Ke: "Li Ke, who is colluding with Duan Cui and designing to kill the immortal master is a despicable villain, and she has the face to be noisy here."

Li Ke has been in the court for many years, and I don’t know much about the sarcasm inside and outside. Even though Xian’er’s words are inverted, Li Ke doesn’t care about it in his ears. Even if he says he’s spitting on his face, it’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s spitting on his face. What really interests Li Ke is that Qing’er’s words actually mentions Duan Cui.

Duan Cui, the commander-in-chief of Gusu Prefecture, may be considered a figure in others' opinion, Duan Cui's official position may be considered a figure, but in Li Ke's eyes, Duan Cui is just a chess piece in which all parties in the court are playing games. However, Li Ke heard this name from Qing'er and said that Li Ke had some collusion with him, which was naturally surprised.

At this time, Li Ke remembered what Wang Xuance said to him just now, and felt more and more that the batch of lost military weapons sent to the Gusu General Office by the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office had nothing to do with Duan Cui.

However, he is in the outer courtyard and is full of people and eyes, so Li Ke is not inconvenient to ask more questions here.

Li Ke paused and ordered Qin Huaidao beside him: "Huaidao, take Wen Qing'er down and take him to the inner courtyard. I will personally interrogate him."

"No." Qin Huaidao responded immediately and pressed the person to the inner courtyard.

Yangzhou City, a house in the south of the city.

Zuo Youxian's corpse fell into Li Ke's hands, and Xiao Yuexian and Wen Qing'er wanted to take Zuo Youxian's corpse back.

However, Linjiang Palace covers a large area and has many houses. If someone else goes there, even if Linjiang Palace removes all the guards, it is unknown whether it can get out of Linjiang Palace, let alone seize people from it.

Qing'er had stayed in Linjiang Palace with Xiao Yuexian for several months, and had frequent entry and exit every day. She was quite familiar with the various parts of Linjiang Palace. It was natural that he would take people with him to go there with him.

But Qing'er brought people into Linjiang Palace, and it took an hour to enter. If he had succeeded, he should have come out long ago, but he still didn't see him. Xiao Yuexian, who was waiting for news in Yangzhou City, became more and more anxious.

"Xiao Madam, it has been an hour since Qing'er entered Linjiang Palace. There is no news yet. Should we try to find out the news?" The maid beside Xiao Yuexian was restless when she saw Xiao Yuexian's recession. She looked outside the house from time to time, obviously worried about Qing'er's safety, so she asked.

As soon as Qing'er entered Linjiang Palace, he was like a mud cow entering the sea, and knew it like the news. It was not a solution to continue like this.

Xiao Yuexian thought about it, took out a letter that had been written from his arms, and said to the maid: "You can order someone to go to Linjiang Palace to find out the news. If you can't find out the news about Qing'er, you will ask the soldiers guarding outside the palace to pass the letter to Li Ke, and then bring a sentence, and say that the old friends will meet, and I hope your highness will make some trouble."
