Red makeup against the world

Chapter 527 Reward News
Wu Zhengxiang came out of Yanqing Palace and went straight to the Shadow Guard's side hall.

In the side hall, Yingfeng was on duty here, and he was not surprised to see Wu Zhengxiang come back.He stepped forward and reported: "My lord, all the assassins are dead. The subordinates have checked their identities. There is no disguise, no guidance, no one has seen them, as if they suddenly emerged from this world."

Wu Zhengxiang remained silent. During the series of thrilling assassinations, he already felt the strength of his opponent.The assassin left no evidence, as he had expected.

A good chess player would not leave such obvious flaws.

"The crossbowman?"

Yingfeng cupped his hands and said: "It is indeed the crossbow used in the imperial city. The man took advantage of the assassination in the Jinhua Palace and when the guards in the palace were flustered, he moved one of the crossbows outside the main entrance of the Jinhua Palace."

How could such a large crossbow be moved to the front of the Jinhua Palace without anyone noticing?
Wu Zhengxiang frowned, "No one saw it?"

"Only the palace people mentioned that they saw a figure in white clothes, but it disappeared after a flash."

That means that this person is extremely fast and possesses supernatural powers.Normally, five people could pull the crossbow, but he alone could operate it.

Wu Zhengxiang had a strong intuition that this person must be the one who planned everything behind the scenes. His purpose was very simple, he wanted Emperor Qinglong's life!
"Where is the emperor at this time?"

"At Xingqing Palace." That was the palace where the emperor lived in the harem, and when he didn't go to other concubines, Emperor Qinglong was in Xingqing Palace.

When he arrived at Xingqing Palace, Wu Zhengxiang knelt down in front of Emperor Qinglong without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Qinglong asked with his screen backed away.

"Father Jun, it was the dereliction of duty of the subordinates that caused the assassins to sneak into the hall. Later, he was concerned about Xu Wanzhen and failed to preside over the pursuit. Please punish Father Jun."

Emperor Qinglong laughed, and said: "It's just liking women, what is a serious crime?"

With the love of watching him grow up, Emperor Qinglong was extremely tolerant towards Wu Zhengxiang.What's more, his loyalty is unmatched, things have already happened, and blaming him will only be chilling.

Hearing what Emperor Qinglong said, Wu Zhengxiang felt even more ashamed: "Father, please rest assured, the subordinates will do their best to track down the culprit."

Emperor Qinglong said: "You deploy the guards for this celebration banquet and tell me the details."

Wu Zhengxiang got the order to bring all the guests into Tianjin Qiaoqi, and to their plans, the shadow guard mobilized all his strength to mark people, and described it in detail.

Emperor Qinglong listened quietly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said slowly: "The person behind him hides very deeply. Don't worry, and be prepared to fight him for a long time."

Wu Zhengxiang raised his head in astonishment: "Could it be that he is more difficult to deal with than Bai Ye?"

Emperor Qinglong nodded: "Although Bai Ye is powerful, he may be even stronger than him. However, Bai Ye is familiar with the shadow guard's tactics and layout, so why are you not familiar with him? As long as you have the heart, you will be able to find clues about Tong Huachi. But this person is not the case. We don't have any leads about him, who he is, why he's against me."

"Take this assassination as an example. It's all dead soldiers who didn't leave any clues, and that crossbow. It seems that he made the matter so big, but it's still hidden in the darkness. The world is so big , It's too easy for a person to hide his name incognito."

"If this is the case, isn't Father Jun extremely dangerous?" Wu Zhengxiang asked worriedly.

Emperor Qinglong laughed loudly: "Believe me, he has planned such a careful layout, he must have used up all the cards in his hand, and he can only lie dormant for a short time, without making any waves. He must be very depressed right now Qu, because I'm still alive."

……

Such a big event happened in the palace, but the people in Luoyang City didn't know about it.The people who went to the palace for the banquet had already been ordered to talk about the rewards and banquets in the palace, and kept silent about what happened later.

After Xu Wenyu finished his homework, he walked towards Ronghui Hall with Nongmo in high spirits.While walking, he said, "Nongmo, sister should be back by now. I don't know if the palace is fun, did you bring me something delicious?"

"Miss loves you so much, she will definitely bring it for you."

When I arrived at Ronghui Hall, I entered the room and greeted Mrs. Xu: "Grandmother is good." A pair of black grape-like eyes looked curiously at the luxuriously dressed lady sitting beside her.

Who is she?Xu Wenyu thought, what did she say to her grandmother, why did she look like she cried?
Seeing him coming, Mrs. Xu suppressed the sadness in her heart, and introduced with a smile: "Yu'er, please greet Mrs. Zhuang. I made you laugh, this is our Brother Yu."

Mrs. Zhuang pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "So it's Brother Yu who is studying in the academy. This is the first time we meet, and I didn't prepare any greetings, it's just a wish." She signaled for Banmei, who was waiting behind her, to take a bag of gold The beans came out to him.

Xu Wenyu made a bow in a similar manner, and said crisply: "Mrs. Zhuang!" He took the bag respectfully with both hands.Immediately turned around and said to Mrs. Xu: "Since grandma has guests here, Yu'er will come to pay her respects later."

Mrs. Zhuang looked at his small figure and bowed out, she couldn't help but sighed slightly, "The children of your Xu family are all good."

Mrs. Xu said emotionally: "He is the one who loves Zhen'er the most. The eldest sister is like a mother. He must have come to see if Zhen'er has returned from the palace. Alas, I hope Zhen'er is okay."

Mrs. Zhuang comforted her softly: "Don't think so, old madam. With the empress dowager here, what serious troubles can be caused to Zhen'er?" She originally planned to hide this from old Mrs. Xu, but how could she hide such an unreasonable thing?
Mrs. Xu is old and smart, she can see something is wrong with just one glance, and she forced to find out the truth.

……

However, the palace was infiltrated by assassins and almost succeeded in killing the emperor. This is news that must be blocked.In addition, only a few people present knew that Xu Wanzhen was injured for saving Empress Dowager Xiao.Even the Duke Zhong's mansion didn't get any news.

At night, Wu Lie called Wu Zhengxiang to his room, and said: "Your eldest sister has begged to come to my father, please raise your hand and let her go."

At this time, Wu Zhengxiang's mind was full of the matter of Xu Wanzhen's injury, and the matter of tracking down the whereabouts of the assassin.In comparison, fighting against Chen Shi a few days ago was like a child throwing a temper tantrum, not worth mentioning.

"Father, why use the word please? My son can't afford it. Don't worry, as long as she doesn't mess with me, I have no intention of fighting her now." Wu Zhengxiang said lightly.

I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk today, even the words he had prepared to persuade him were useless.Wu Lie was silent for a long time, but he was reluctant to let him go. He had nothing to say, "Is today's celebration banquet going well? When you see your elder brother, send him a message, let him go home and have a look when he has time, and do the math." I haven't been home for more than a month."
