"Tiedan, why haven't General Feiying and the others come back yet? Is there something going on at Baoshengfang~?"
In Taiyuan Post House, Li Tai and Tiedan were sitting in a side hall, anxiously waiting for news from Baoshengfang. Seeing that it was almost midnight, Li Tai couldn't help but ask.
Tiedan frowned. In fact, when Dugu Feiying and Han Li were heading to Baoshengfang, he originally wanted to go with them, but his father insisted on letting him stay and protect Li Tai personally. Before that, Han Lizheng had already I heard about Tiedan's "civet cat for prince" incident in the afternoon, pretending to be Li Tai to attract unknown forces in the city. In Han Lizheng's opinion, Tiedan's personal relationship with Li Tai and his own martial arts skills allowed him to protect Li Tai personally. The best candidate!
"... General Feiying personally takes action, and my father is here, so nothing will happen! Let's just wait patiently!"
Although Tiedan was very worried, he still offered words of comfort.
"I hope so!"
Li Tai sighed. At this moment, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps at the door of the post house. The two looked at each other, stood up quickly, and went out.
"It's General Dugu who's back~!"
It turned out that Dugu Xin was riding a carriage and brought a group of people back from the Wang family. With the help of the imperial guards, Dugu Xin got off the carriage, saluted Li Tai, and asked: "Your Highness, I heard that you have already returned from there. An assassin asked about the whereabouts of his family, and Fei Ying has already taken people there. Is he back now?"
On the way back, the Imperial Army reported to Dugu Xin. Therefore, Dugu Xin learned that Star Wolf actually spoke under Li Tai's questioning, and that Star Wolf also had an old woman living in Baoshengfang in the south of the city.
Li Tai shook his head and said, "Not yet! But General Feiying and his friends have been away for almost half an hour. If things go well, they should be back soon!"
Duguxin nodded seriously, and then said with profound meaning:
"There is also something strange going on over at the Wang family. The general left two people to watch on the side. Taiyuan City should be very lively tonight! Maybe we can find out Zhao Deyan and others who are lurking in the dark!"
"Oh~? There is also something strange happening in the Wang family~?"
Li Tai's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "What's the strange movement? Could it be that my previous guess was true and someone from the Wang family really colluded with Zhao Deyan~?"
In the evening, when Han Li came to the inn with the intercepted secret letter, Li Tai guessed that someone within the Wang family had colluded with Zhao Deyan, and that this person was probably Wang Kui, the second elder of the Wang family. !
Dugu Xin shook his head and said: "It's still unclear. At that time, the general only heard that the Wang family sent people to follow a guard of the second room of the Wang family. The general asked Zhao Erhu and Shen Quan to stay and monitor them secretly. After the two of them came back, Everything will be revealed!"
"I see!"
Li Tai nodded thoughtfully, and then said in a deep voice: "Although there is no clear evidence yet, the second wife of the Wang family must be a serious suspect. General Dugu needs to send more people to keep an eye on him!"
"I will finally understand!"
Duguxin cupped his fists and accepted the order.
While the two were talking, a rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the post house. From the sound, it was estimated that there were more than a few hundred people coming, and they were all cavalry. Li Tai said excitedly: "General Feiying must be back. ! I wonder if he has brought back the assassin’s old mother! I’ll go and have a look!”
"Your Highness, please wait!"
However, Dugu Xin's expression changed slightly, because this time they came from Chang'an and only brought a thousand forbidden troops with them. In addition, they had to disperse some troops at Longshan and leave some troops at the post house. Dugu Feiying today It was impossible to bring hundreds of people to Baoshengfang at night, and judging from the deafening sound of horse hooves coming from the street outside the post house, it was clear that hundreds of cavalry were coming!
Although Taiyuan City is still under the control of the government army, for the sake of caution, Duguxin still did not dare to let Li Tai take risks. He grabbed Li Tai who wanted to run out, and then shouted to the imperial army behind him: "You guys A few of my subordinates will go out and take a look!"
"Here~!"
The sergeants took the order and led Dugu Xin to the gate of the post house. They saw a long fire dragon running towards this side on the street. As Dugu Xin had previously judged, the size of this team was about About four to five hundred, and the cavalry at the front of the team was only thirty feet away from Dugu Xin and the others.
Because the sky was too dark and the opponent was still far away, Dugu Xin couldn't see clearly who the opponent's general was.
"alert!"
Dugu Xin shouted in a low voice.
At the same time, he grasped the sword at his waist. Although he was seriously injured and could not use force yet, if the opponent was really not one of Dugu Feiying's men and was charging at Li Tailai, he would inevitably have to draw his sword and fight for his life. !
"Here~!"
The Imperial Guards behind Dugu Xin all drew out their long knives from their waists and looked at the fire dragon running towards the post house with vigilant expressions!
"Dong dong dong~!"
The chaotic sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Dugu Xin and others were extremely nervous. If the opponent's troops were really aiming at Li Tailai, they would be fighting as infantry now, and it would be difficult for them to win!
"It's the flying eagle!"
When the fire dragon was still about ten feet away from the gate of the post house, Dugu Xin finally saw the appearance of the leader. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head with relief and said to the imperial guards behind him: "No need to be on guard, everyone. reset!"
"yes!"
The Imperial Guards responded, and they actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Tai and Tiedan in the courtyard saw this and hurriedly came out to greet them. Dugu Xin did not stop them this time. Although he still didn't know why there were so many troops behind Dugu Feiying, as long as he knew that Dugu Feiying was Just be in that team, he has always believed in his brother!
"Uu~!"
After a while, the "Fire Dragon" arrived in front of the post house. Dugu Feiying, Han Lizheng, Fang Gongteng and others dismounted one after another, came to Li Tai, bowed and clasped their fists and said: "Your Highness!"
Li Tai quickly said: "No need to be polite! Huh? Fang Canjun is here too?"
But it was only then that he saw Fang Gongteng on one side, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Back to Your Highness, after returning to camp from the Governor's Mansion, the general summoned all the soldiers who searched the city during the day..."
Fang Gongteng clasped his fists and briefly told Li Tai what he had told Dugu Feiying before.
Li Tai suddenly understood. Then he looked at Dugu Feiying and asked hurriedly: "General Feiying, how are you? Have you found the assassin's mother in Baoshengfang~?"
In the cell earlier, although Xinglang promised Li Tai that he was willing to tell the person behind the scenes, there was a prerequisite, which was to take his mother over and then invite famous doctors such as Sun Simiao to treat his mother.
Therefore, Li Tai still has great expectations for the results of Dugu Feiying and others' trip.
Dugu Feiying did not disappoint Li Tai, he only smiled and said: "Return to your highness, I will be honored to live up to my command!"
After saying that, he turned around and ordered: "Bring the aunt here!"
Surrounded by two sergeants, the two little maids helped the old woman out of the crowd. Dugu Feiying suddenly remembered something and whispered something in Li Tai's ear, and then pulled Li Tai back. A few steps.
Obviously, Dugu Feiying was worried that the old lady's tuberculosis would be transmitted to Li Tai.
Li Tai was not angry. He said happily: "Okay! Okay! Take this lady to meet her son, and then settle her in the post house!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Dugu Feiying quickly waved his hand and signaled the two sergeants to take the old woman down.
"Now that the assassin's family has been safely delivered, let's say goodbye!"
At this time, Fang Gongteng hugged Li Tai, Dugu Xin, and Dugu Feiying and said.
There were still many things waiting for him to deal with at the military camp, and he didn't have time to stay here all the time.
Li Tai nodded and said: "Okay! Fang joins the army and goes back to work!"
Dugu Feiying cupped his fists and said, "I have to thank Fang Junjun for helping me tonight!"
Fang Gongteng smiled and said: "General Feiying is polite, this is the duty of a junior general, and speaking of it, Fang is not of much help!"
Immediately, he cupped his fists at Li Tai and said, "I'll say goodbye, general!"
After that, he turned around and left with more than 400 soldiers from the Bingzhou camp.
"Your Highness, I met someone in Baoshengfang. Please come into the side hall, and I will tell you more in detail!"
After Fang Gongteng left, Dugu Feiying remembered the scene he encountered in that private house before, so he hugged Li Tai with a serious face and said.
Li Tai wanted to go to the cell now and interrogate Star Wolf again. Dugu Feiying's words instantly attracted his attention. He nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
After a while, Li Tai, Tiedan, Han Lizheng, Dugu Xin, and Dugu Feiying came to the side hall. As soon as they sat down, Dugu Xin asked: "Feiying, who did you meet in Baoshengfang? Say it quickly!”
"yes, Sir!"
Dugu Feiying nodded, then looked at Li Tai and said: "Your Highness, after we rushed to the house in Baoshengfang that the assassin mentioned, we found that there were people in the house who arrived before us. One of them was Wang Chengwu, the commander-in-chief of the Wang family's guards. , and the other is Wang Li, the second commander of the Wang family. This Wang Li is a subordinate of Wang Kui, the second elder of the Wang family! When we entered the room, Wang Li had already fallen to the ground, with a big knife stuck in his chest, a few steps away from the aunt. Only a few inches away!”
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised and said: "Wang Chengwu, Wang Li? What were they doing there? And, according to what you said, could it be that Wang Chengwu killed Wang Li?"
Dugu Feiying nodded and said: "That's true! According to Wang Chengwu, the head of the Wang family received news from the Wang family's children tonight and learned that the assassin we caught had been in Baoshengfang, so he sent Wang Chengwu to check it out. In this situation, Wang Chengwu saw a man in black sneaking into a house in Baoshengfang. He hid on the roof to see what the man in black wanted to do, and saw that the man in black wanted to kill everyone in the house. Old woman, in desperation, Wang Chengwu killed the man in black with one blow, and then we entered the house... "
