guess.
But: "Your Highness, what did the second prince ask you to do last night?" Only Li Dan dared to ask such a question.He is Gu Junchen and the servant. The two grew up together. Between the monarch and his ministers, they are more like brothers and sisters.
"Confess your last words." Gu Junchen said, and then repeated what the second prince said yesterday.
Li Dan listened, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile: "He is an idiot. Using this method to slap you in the face in front of the imperial physicians, if the imperial physicians pass him on, it will appear that His Highness is stingy and won't treat you kindly." Like orphans and widows."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Junchen didn't care, "Back then he was just behind the big brother's ass. Now that Qin Shangshu has fallen and the big brother has no power, he jumped up. Not only him, but also the queen of Tang. I thought the court It's their word."
Empress Tang and the second prince were so restrained and low-key at the beginning, but now they are high-key.The main reason is that there are few concubines in the harem, and the emperor doesn't like concubines, otherwise Empress Tang wouldn't have the thought to jump up and down.
"But the problem is, the second prince is injured, and your crown prince's position is stable. Shouldn't the finger be pointed at the third prince?" Li Dan asked, "But it doesn't make sense, the third prince and the second prince have no conflict of interest."
Gu Junchen put down the arrow and picked up the drawing again.The scene where the second prince was assassinated analyzed the situation at that time and then drew it. This is a very remarkable judgment thinking. "Second brother was walking at the time. The arrow hit a position very close to the heart, but the arrow wound was not deep. I am really puzzled."
"What does Your Highness mean?" Li Dan narrowed his eyes.
"If you are alone, you can't do this kind of archery." Gu Junchen said, "Judging from the position of the assassin, even if the arrow goes down, even if it misses the heart, the wound should be deep, and it will definitely not be so shallow. Just imagine For a moment, the assassins who assassinate the second brother must be the best among them, and their archery skills must not be bad, so when a master shoots an arrow, he must have injected internal strength, and the arrow wound must be very deep."
"Hearing what His Highness said, I have an idea." Li Dan said, "Could it be...the second prince directed and acted himself."
Gu Junchen never ruled out any possibility, because the third prince and the first prince had no motive: "If he directs and acts by himself, what is his purpose?"
Yes.If the second prince directs and acts on his own, they can't think of any motives for the second prince except for the lack of motivation ^
"Where is the captured assassin?" Gu Junchen asked.
"In Dali Temple." Li Dan replied, "At that time, the assassin assassinated the second prince and attracted the patrolling soldiers from the five cities, so the second prince was rescued."
"Oh?" Gu Junchen pursed his lips into a smile, and then said, "Which city are you from?"
"Sincerely,,
Nancheng Bingma Division was in charge of Qin Shangshu's people at first, but later Qin Shangshu's faction was destroyed, and Gu Junchen promoted Deputy General Dai to the top.Deputy General Dai is the second prince's man, and now, the possibility of self-directed and self-acted by Li Dan is even more aggravated.
"Nancheng Bingma Division was in charge of Deputy General Dai back then, how about asking Deputy General Dai?" Li Dan still doesn't know the identity of Deputy General Dai.
"No, he belongs to the second brother." Gu Junchen recounted what happened in the barracks back then.
Li Dan was taken aback: "That is to say, that one is not dead yet?"
The arc of Gu Junchen's mouth turned up again, indicating that he was in a good mood: "Well, I will give the second brother the most painful blow. Of course, if he is better, he is the son of the emperor's uncle after all, and I don't want to hurt the emperor's son." Heart."
The three words "be good" made Li Dan laugh.Your Highness, can you stop using this look and uttering such ambiguous words.
"I have a guess." Li Luo walked in, apparently he had listened a lot at the door just now. "Regardless of whether the second prince directs and acts on his own, he still has a purpose."
"Sixth cousin." Li Dan greeted.
"Cousin Dan." Li Luo smiled slightly.
"What purpose?" Gu Junchen also wanted to hear what he said.
Gu Junchen's study also had Li Luo's desk, so he took out a piece of paper from his desk, and drew a picture.Then handed it to Gu Junchen: "Look, the first step after the second prince's accident: 1. Notify you; 2. Nancheng soldiers and horses caught people and handed them over to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple began to investigate; 3. This third point, didn't you think of it?"
Li Dan and Gu Junchen looked at each other.Li Dan smiled: "As the saying goes, Zhuge Liang is better than three cobblers.
There are two people, and there is one person short of six cousins. "
"What's the third point?" Gu Junchen was also curious.
"The third point, this matter will definitely be told to the emperor, presumably someone sent a letter to the emperor this morning." Li Luo said.When the second prince met an assassin in the capital, he would definitely tell the emperor.This is something that Gu Junchen and Li Dan forgot when they were discussing.When they heard Li Luo's analysis, their hearts tightened, especially Gu Junchen frowned.
He stood up abruptly.
"What are you going to do?" Li Luo asked.
"If the second brother is injured and will tell the uncle, then the uncle may be in danger on the way back." That's why Gu Junchen was worried. "I'll go to Li Zhongming and ask him to take someone to pick him up."
"How can Uncle Li alone be enough?" Li Luo asked, "There are four routes back to the capital, and you have to arrange for each route."
"Count me in." Li Dan said, "I'll take someone there."
"You can't dispatch the Imperial Forest Army, otherwise if the other party really has this idea, they will scare the snake away." Li Luo reminded.
"I know what's in my heart, don't worry." Li Dan also got up, "I'll start from the east gate."
Gu Junchen nodded: "I'll let Li Zhongming go from the south gate. I'll let Huang Long lead people to the west gate, and let the north gate..." "I'll take Li Changcheng and Wei Sheng to the north gate." Li Luo cut off his words.
Gu Junchen looked at Li Luo, and finally nodded: "Be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll go first."
Li Luo took Li Changcheng and Wei Sheng with him, and because of time constraints, they did not dare to rest along the way.Li Luo left from the north gate, alarming a person, King Chunyang.Since King Chunyang had a grandson, he has a good grasp of his whereabouts.Li Luo and Gu Junchen encountered assassins in the wild in the capital, so King Chunyang sent someone to secretly protect Li Luo, please forgive a new grandfather who wants to make up for his grandson's feelings.
"Young Lord has left the city?" The secret guard of the Chunyang Palace came to report, which surprised the Chunyang King.
"Not only that, news came from the eyeliners arranged by the East Gate, South Gate, and West Gate. Li Dan and Li Zhongming also left the city, starting from the East Gate and South City respectively."
There is an east gate, a south gate, and a north gate. It is impossible for the west gate to exist, or the people of the west gate are outside the city.Although King Chunyang didn't know why they left the city, he thought it was a little unusual.He immediately said: "Prepare the horse, the king is going out of the city." As for which gate to go out from, it must be the north gate, he only followed in the footsteps of his grandson.
drive……
From Chunyang Palace, several galloping horses came out.
Li Luo, Li Changcheng and Wei Sheng drove for a day, passed through towns on the way, drank noodle soup, rested for an hour, and continued on their way.The weather in the first month is very cold, and the wind blows on the face, like a small blade is cutting, and the prick is a bit painful.
Boom... There was thunder and lightning in the sky, and after a while, the sky was pouring down with rain.This should be a thunderstorm, that's why it fell so fast and so big.
"Master, we need to find a place to rest."
"There is an inn ahead, let's go to the inn."
goo...
"Master, the eagle is calling."
Li Luo took the rein of the horse and slowed down, watching the two white eagles coming from far to near: "Why are Erbai and Sanbai here?" After Erbai came to him, he saw Erbai. with a letter on his body.The only one who can take advantage of Erbai's letter is his biological father.He immediately took down the letter.There were only a few words in the letter, but it shocked Li Luo.
"What's wrong, young master?" Feeling that Li Luo's expression was wrong, Li Changcheng asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, let's find a place to rest first." Li Luo said, then he patted Erbai's head again, communicated with Erbai, and asked Erbai to go back.
But Erbai was different, always followed Li Luo and refused to leave.Li Luo thought that they seldom come out, so he let them follow, so the three of them plus two eagles continued on their way.
Many people will open inns on some necessary roads, because the business of opening inns in such places is particularly good.Moreover, there are many customers traveling from south to north, and the speed of making money is very fast.However, it is still the first month, and business is not so good.Li Luo and the others walked into the inn. The three dripping wet people, together with the two dripping eagles, were particularly conspicuous.In fact, eagles are more conspicuous than humans.Erbai and Sanbai are ten years old this year, and because of their breed, they are very majestic. When they followed Li Luo into the inn, Xiaoer was taken aback.
"Welcome to the light..." Xiaoer opened his mouth, stupidly afraid to speak.
"Three rooms, leave when the rain stops, and prepare warm water for bathing." Li Luo said.
"Okay." Xiao Er came back to his senses, "Guests, I see that you didn't bring a salute. Do you have to wash and dry your clothes after changing?" It is indeed necessary.
"Thank you, come and pick up the clothes after we take a shower." Li Luo was surprised by Xiaoer's carefulness.
"Yes, don't worry, guest officer, I'll take you upstairs first, and then prepare ginger soup for you."
After Li Luo and others went up, King Chunyang and the others arrived, and the room was booked opposite to Li Luo and the others.It's like a mysterious detective, and a little wretched.
