Xu Zizhen was caught off guard by a series of incidents that happened in front of the Taizu Temple. He had thought about taking advantage of the chaos to rob Zhao Xie, but after thinking about it, he didn’t do so, otherwise he wouldn’t know how he died. Some clues came out, although those assassinations happened suddenly, Wu Qimai didn't seem to be surprised, and even Wu Ben secretly arranged everything early on, as if these were all in his expectation.

Xu Zizhen couldn't figure it out, those who were killed were all important ministers of the Jin Kingdom, and even the privy envoy Helu who was in charge of the military aircraft. Didn't he feel bad for the emperor when these ministers who were called pillars were assassinated?Or does he have other plans?

But the current situation is that he has no time to think about Wu Qimai's heartache, because he is about to escort Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others to the Wuguo City hundreds of miles away.

Not only Xu Zizhen couldn't figure it out, but Wang Zhongfu and Lin Chaoying who were hidden in the distance were also stunned. Because they were too far apart, they didn't know what happened in front of the Taizu Temple. They could only hear a burst of gunpowder explosion and the next In the noisy and chaotic environment, the two looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Lin Chaoying said: "Ma San just set fire to it, why did he make such a big commotion?"

Wang Zhongfu shook his head, and before he could speak, he saw a person rushing towards him in the distance, it was Ma San whom Lin Chaoying had just mentioned.

Ma San looked excited, before standing still, he hurriedly said: "It's a mess, a lot of golden dogs died in front of the temple."

Wang Zhongfu frowned: "What's going on?"

It was Ma San who started the fire in the grove behind the temple. After setting the fire, he sneaked to the side of the temple to watch. Tell me about the previous assassination and other things.

After hearing this, Lin Chaoying lifted her spirits, and said excitedly: "God-sent a good opportunity, isn't it just right to rush in to save the official's house at this time?"

Ma San also said: "That's right, Lord Jiu, there is a pot of porridge in front of the temple at this time, if we..."

Wang Zhongfu's face was serious, he waved his hand to interrupt his words, pondered for a moment and said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, leave quickly."

Lin Chaoying and Ma San looked at each other in astonishment, before they could be questioned, Wang Zhongfu had rushed down the roof first.

"Hey! You, surnamed Wang, stop, why are you leaving?" Lin Chaoying was a little annoyed, and hurried to catch up.

Wang Zhongfu didn't answer but asked instead: "You see the chaos in front of the temple, but is there any movement around?"

Lin Chaoying was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized: "Ah, you mean the imperial guards by the temple?"

Wang Zhongfu nodded: "Exactly, the Emperor was assassinated, and neither the Imperial Army nor the Palace Commander was mobilized. This matter is by no means normal. It's so obvious that you still can't see it."

Lin Chaoying glared at him and snorted, "We are all stupid, but you are the smart one, so why can't you save the official family?"

She is also a smart person, in fact, she already understood, but she was just a little impatient, and she was immediately enlightened by Wang Zhongfu, but she was very frustrated when she saw that she couldn't grasp the great opportunity, and when Wang Zhongfu ran against her, she fell down with anger. up.

Ma San saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Golden Dog is watching too closely. You can see how many people are guarding both on the surface and in the dark. It's not a problem for us to go rashly. Ninth Master has already made arrangements, so it will be safe to rescue the officials."

Lin Chaoying said with a cold face: "Sure? We have all retreated, where else can we find the official?"

Wang Zhongfu smiled lightly: "We don't need to look for it, the official will show up."

Lin Chaoying was startled, and then looked around, only to see Wang Zhongfu's eyes turned to the distance, where there was one, and only one, road leading straight to the north.

……

All the assassinations in front of the Taizu Temple were extinguished, and the emperor Wu Qimai also left, leaving only a group of ministers in place. No one dared to leave first, because the assassin came in a strange way, and no one could leave without checking the clues.

Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and other Song prisoners were able to leave first, but just as they were about to leave, something happened again.

Wuben is mobilizing people to search if there are any assassins lurking nearby. In addition, he will collect all the weapons and objects on the dead assassins to see if there are any clues. The bodies of Helu and the assassinated officials have been carried down. Wanyan Ji and Guo Xiang Sa Gai were idling around for a while.

Xu Zizhen was also looking around idly, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to slip away. At this moment, he heard a roar in his ears, and the roar was obviously mixed with pain. When Xu Zizhen turned his head, he saw Wanyan Ji staggering towards him. He took two steps forward, and there was a dagger sticking out of his back.

The one who assassinated Wanyan Ji was a guard behind him, and he rushed out without hesitation after hitting the target. The incident happened suddenly, and the guards around him couldn't react for a while, even the one closest to Wanyan Ji Sa Gai was stunned, and when everyone recovered, the assassin had already rushed dozens of steps away.

Xu Zizhen was also dumbfounded. No one expected that there would be another wave of assassinations that seemed to be over, and it was the most ruthless. You must know that although Helu is a privy envoy, his status in the court is still not as good as that of the national teacher. In contrast to Ji, Wanyan Ji's influence in both the military and the government is enormous. It can be said bluntly that if something happens to him, the entire Jin Dynasty will be shaken.

In such a chaotic situation, it was Wuben again, he still kept his composure, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop him!"

But no matter how calm he was, it was still a step too late. The assassin's speed was very fast, and he had already rushed out of the weakest guard - the Song prisoner convoy.

Although Xu Zizhen was also shocked, the assassination had nothing to do with him, not to mention killing Wanyan Ji, even if he killed Wu Qimai, he would not care about it, but the assassin chose to escape by his side, and I don't know if it was him Hallucinations, the assassin seemed to wink at him as he passed by.

What the hell?

Xu Zizhen was startled, who is this, knows me?Does this mean you want me to follow you?

Hearing Wu Ben's shout while he was in a daze, his thoughts turned like lightning, he suddenly got hesitant, drew his knife and slashed at the assassin passing by, of course the knife was almost hit, or the assassin slipped past.

"Where to go!"

Xu Zizhen yelled and chased after him, and when he rushed out, he did not forget to tell the people around him: "Watch the southern prisoner closely, I will go back as soon as I go."

Everyone in Hulongying stared dumbfounded at their vice-commander who went to catch the assassin with wide-eyed eyes. In their impression, although Jin Sanshun, the vice-commander, was usually stupid, he never took the initiative to do anything. What kind of wind is chasing the assassin so hard?It's not his job either.

Maybe the assassin chose a good route. Xu Zizhen and the assassin had already disappeared when the guards of the imperial guards chased after them.

Wu Ben said angrily: "Catch me, if you live, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses!"

Someone from below rushed to report: "My lord, the knife is very poisonous, and the national teacher may be in danger!"

Wu Ben's face turned pale immediately, but Sa Gai's brows frowned.
