Yan Li's personal eunuch crept in and whispered in Rong Chang'an's ear, "General Song is asking to see you outside!"
Rong Changan wiped away his tears: "Okay, I'll go out now." Turning to Xu Feng, he said, "The emperor's dragon body, I will trouble you! If you have anything, you can report to me at any time."
Seeing the sadness in Rong Changan's eyes, Xu Feng was also sad, so he comforted him: "Queen, please don't worry, I will take care of the emperor with all my heart. The queen should also pay more attention to her body, and don't be too sad."
Rong Changan nodded, and wiped Yan Li with his gentle eyes, before turning around and leaving.
Song Qiang was dressed all over, with a big knife on his waist, surrounded by soldiers on both sides, and his resolute and well-defined face was illuminated by jumping torches.
"Song Qiang kowtows to see General Rong!" Song Qiang clasped his fists and bowed to Rong Changan.
"Have Guo Zhen and others dismissed their troops?" Rong Changan swept away the gentleness just now, and there was more determination and depth in his eyes.
Although Guo Zhen, Zhang An, Geng Di and others have been kicked out of the palace, they are still in a group and still threaten Rong Changan.
"After I escorted them out of the palace, I asked Guo Zhen to dismiss the troops. Guo Zhen hesitated, but in the end he dispatched the troops. I also confiscated the weapons brought by Zhang An and Geng Di."
Rong Changan gave Song Qiang an approving look: "Well done! With this lesson learned, they have to be more restrained in what they do in the future."
Song Qiang snorted and said: "If they dare not dismiss the troops, our more than 20,000 people will chop them into meat paste." After a pause, Song Qiang asked, "Why didn't General Rong arrest Guo Zhen just now?" Get up, let him go and let him track down the whereabouts of the assassin?"
Rong Changan guessed that Song Qiang and Lin Hai would definitely think of this question.
"The emperor has ordered me not to kill. In order to appease the emperor and let him recover from his injuries, I have no choice but to agree to let Guo Zhen and others go."
However, Yan Li's words were not the main reason why Rong Changan let Guo Zhen go and made him commit crimes and meritorious deeds.
"I have enough reasons to believe that the assassin has some kind of connection with Guo Zhen and others. That is to say, the remaining assassin will definitely go to Guo Zhen and others. Guo Zhen knows his whereabouts. Now I want Guo Zhen to If Zhen went after the assassin, he wanted him to weigh it carefully, whether to arrest the assassin to atone for his crimes, or release the assassin and take responsibility for himself. No matter what kind of decision he makes, he will be entangled."
Song Qiang thought about Rong Changan's words, clapped his hands and said happily: "General Rong, your plan is really clever! Maybe Guo Zhen will quarrel with Zhang An and Geng Di because of the assassins!"
Rong Changan smiled and said, "If they fight among themselves, it will be in our best interest. By the way, how is Lin Hai doing now?"
Thinking of Lin Hai's bloody arm, the corners of Rong Chang'an's eyes moved unconsciously. It was so tragic that even Rong Chang'an, who had experienced the big scene on the battlefield, did not want to see it for a second time.
"I've already consulted a doctor to treat him. If it goes well, maybe I can get his hand back; if it doesn't go well, Lin Hai will..."
Thinking that Lin Hai might become a single-handed leader, Song Qiang felt bad.
Rong Chang'an said: "We need to find the best doctor to treat him, and call all the imperial physicians in the palace for consultation. Be sure to take Lin Hai's hand back."
"Decree!" Song Qiang said loudly.
Rong Changan frowned, and pondered: "In the team of Zhang An, Guo Zhen and others, there is such a powerful character who can break Lin Hai's hand abruptly, which really surprises me. You know, Lin Hai's Although my skill is inferior to mine, it is on par with yours."
Song Qiang said: "I asked Lin Hai, and he said that the one who severed his hand was a man in black, who stood out from the team of Guo Zhen and others. At that time, Lin Hai did not expect that the man in black The person in the costume will suddenly launch an attack, otherwise the opponent will not be able to sneak attack."
Rong Changan's dim eyes suddenly lit up, as if two bright lights had been lit.
"Lin Hai said he was wearing black clothes?"
"Exactly!"
Rong Chang'an's Liu Mei frowned: "This man is so bold! He escaped from the palace just now, but he went back and forth again. He is really not afraid that I will recognize him."
At that time, both assassins covered their faces, but Rong Changan was very impressed with the eyes of the assassins, she had a photographic memory, and if the assassins reappeared, she would definitely be able to recognize them.
"During the fight at Zichen Gate, that assassin was also knocked unconscious by Lin Hai..." Song Qiang said.
"Oh?" Rong Changan was even more excited when he heard the words, "Did you catch anyone later?"
Song Qiang shook his head regretfully, like a rattle: "After hearing Lin Hai's words, I went to Zichen Gate to look for him, but the man was nowhere to be seen. Presumably the man knew that Zhang An and others planned to go bankrupt, and was afraid of being hunted down. Chaos fled the palace."
It was a bit regrettable that the assassin had left, but Rong Changan comforted Song Qiang with a half-joking tone: "Don't be discouraged, isn't there still Master Guo? We are waiting for Master Guo to bring good news!"
…
Being sent out of the palace by Song Qiang, and all weapons were confiscated, Zhang An and the three were very depressed, and they discussed how to deal with Rong Changan in his home, and the assassin was also there.
The candlelight was dim, and four people were sitting around a table, everyone's expressions were gloomy and dignified.
The assassin squinted at the others, and then his eyes stopped on Guo Zhen's face.
"I think Rong Chang'an must be dispatching forces to search and arrest me at this moment. I can't wait any longer and must leave the capital immediately."
The assassin didn't wait for everyone's response, picked up the knife on the table, and left.
"Wait!" A deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded in the room. "You can't go!"
The assassin stood in front of the door, turned his face halfway, and tightened his grip on the knife.
"Why?" The assassin's cold voice sounded so unfamiliar.
Guo Zhen turned his head to look at the assassin, his face was full of anger, and the needle-like beard stood on end, which looked really intimidating.
"Now Rong Chang'an ordered me to hunt down the assassin who assassinated the emperor and make amends. If you leave now, what should I do?"
The assassin snorted coldly: "You mean, you want to arrest Rong Chang'an?"
Guo Zhen muttered: "I... I haven't made this decision yet. But before I make a decision, it's better for you to stay."
The assassin said word by word: "What if I don't stay?"
"Hmph, I can't help you not to stay. If you dare to step out of this room, I will let your head fall to the ground!" Guo Zhen said angrily.
The assassin finally turned his head, his eyes were full of murderous intent: "I went to assassinate the emperor for you, but you want to arrest me to see Rong Chang'an, are you worthy of my dead brother?"
Guo Zhen flicked his sleeves, curled his lips, and said in a very contemptuous tone: "If you can kill Yan Li, you won't be in the current situation. If you want to blame it, blame yourself for not being good at things. They only let Yan Li have superficial injuries, and lied to us that Yan Li is dead! Hehehehe!"
The assassin became furious, and with a click, he raised the knife and dropped it, chipping off a corner of the table. When the incident happened suddenly, Zhang An and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled all over.
"If I can go back to my life, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to that person!"
