Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tang Song's residence and Lu Yuanfang's residence are both in Luoyang North City, and they are also located in the Fang District three rows away from the Imperial City. The distance between the two is not far, so Tang Song has never hired a car, thinking about his thoughts while walking.

    There were a lot of preparations for the action against the Fourth Family, but once he actually started taking action, he became idle.  I really wanted to see Taiping, but unfortunately, although the two of them returned from the north and south of the Yangtze River together, they did not go to Luoyang together. Taiping went to Chang'an first.  After all, she left Beijing in the name of inspecting Chang'an's villa last time, and then she went on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. She wanted to return to Luoyang. She still had to go to Chang'an to meet the princess, so that she would not arouse suspicion.

    Taiping is far from an ordinary princess. Her manners and rules are very complex, so her movements are naturally slow. Counting the time, she is still on the way from Chang'an to Luoyang.

    Tang Songyuan still thought that it was because of her status that she had to be like this.  But after the changes that happened in the morning, I laughed at myself for thinking too simply. Taiping, the thief, had probably thought of this a long time ago, and was clearly taking advantage of her absence in Luoyang to avoid suspicion.

    Watching her in the darkroom, being so bold and unrestrained in matters between men and women.  But I didn't expect that when it came to political action, he would be so cautious to the point of cunning.

    These thief bitches!  Thinking of this, Karamatsu couldn't help but curse a few more words.

    In exchange, although Taiping agreed to cooperate with him to deal with the Fourth Family this time, her team did not reveal anything to Karamatsu. Therefore, if she was not in the capital at this moment, Karamatsu would not be able to intervene in the operation of her group of forces.  , even if he wanted to make some adjustments according to the chaos, he didn't know who to contact, so he left.  Others will not recognize him if he is afraid.

    This time, the cooperation with Taiping was really passive.  The more he thought about this, the more depressed Karamatsu became.  Later on, it was inevitable that I would secretly feel cruel in my heart, "There will be a time when you use it on me. If I don't make you want to die by then, I'm sorry for what you did today."

    While walking, I was thinking about my thoughts, and soon returned to Cizhai.  After coming back, as usual, I wanted to go to the girl Jing Shui's room first, but I saw that her expression seemed a little sluggish.

    Seeing this, Tang Song immediately felt some self-blame. "He came to Luoyang from the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago. Not to mention the exhaustion of traveling and traveling. After arriving, he has been busy these days and didn't bother to spend more time with Jing Jing. And she was  For the kind of person who refuses to go out without him, it is normal for him to be depressed due to the fatigue from the long journey and the feeling of being depressed in his room every day.

    As soon as I thought about it, I saw that it was just past noon.  Although it was a bit hot, the weather was really nice. Karamatsu said: "Crystal, let's go out and play!"

    Karamatsu has been busy these days and has less time to spend with her.  Hearing this, Crystal suddenly became more energetic.  Although she didn't speak, there was a look of fascination in her crooked eyebrows, perhaps because she recalled Tang Song's experience of taking her to visit Luoyang's scenic spots before the scientific examination last year.

    Listen to what Tang Song said.  The girls suddenly became energetic and chattered about the Bon Festival tomorrow.  The major Buddhist temples in the city must be bustling with gossip today.  As he spoke, he prepared the equipment for Crystal to travel with Karamatsu.

    The boy's clothes, the boy's hat, and many cosmetic items are used to make the crystal look ugly.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out and about. When Crystal was about to change, she was stopped by Karamatsu.

    Perhaps because of his previous self-blame, Karamatsu stopped thinking about things that were troublesome or not. He just wanted to take Crystal out to have fun and make her happy and beautiful. "I won't wear this today."  "

    After saying that, Tang Song turned sideways and said to the maids with a smile: "Come on, show off all your skills and make your young lady as beautiful as possible."

    ??This time, the chattering of the four maids suddenly became eight times more noisy. Influenced by this atmosphere, Karamatsu's depression was relieved a lot.

    Half an hour later, when the maids came out holding crystals, even if Tang Song spent time with her day and night, he couldn't help but be a little dazzled.

    "Crystal is naturally beautiful to the point of bringing disaster to the country and the people, but after being carefully groomed, the result isa monster!"  It would be impossible to travel with such a woman without being hated by others.

    After hiring two tall carriages and calling the Shangguan brothers to go with them, Tang Song took Shuijing and others out of the house and went straight to the White Horse Temple.

    If the most famous Buddhist Zen forest in Luoyang is undoubtedly the White Horse Temple, the road becomes more crowded as you go towards the White Horse Temple. By the time you get to the mountain gate, it is already packed with people and extremely lively.

    Seeing such a lively scene, Tang Song's mood has completely improved. He got off the car and laughed and chatted with Shangguan brothers. The four girls chatted with each other non-stop. Crystal was just like last year. Qiao Tang Song looked around at all the excitement around him.  .

    "Those four girls are already pretty, and they are very eye-catching when they are together, not to mention??Crystal is a disaster for the country and the people. As soon as they came down, they immediately attracted countless eyes in front of the bustling mountain gate. Some were amazed by Crystal's unparalleled beauty, and others were envious, jealous and hateful towards Karamatsu. There was no way, who made Crystal like this?  Not avoiding suspicion and acting so close to him?

    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t avoid suspicion, it¡¯s actually that the idea of ??¡°suspect¡± doesn¡¯t exist in Crystal¡¯s heart at all.

    Seeing this, Tang Song lamented that it was so wise to bring the Shangguan brothers with him on this trip. If they hadn't been there to control the battle, how would he have done it with five beauties?  From this, it is understandable to think that a large family must have many servants when they travel.

    Since you can¡¯t avoid it, just ignore it.  Tang Song was too lazy to pay attention to the various looks, and took the crystal through the large and bustling mountain gate and entered the White Horse Temple.

    The temple was also crowded with people, and there was no need to describe all the noise. After walking around the halls and corridors, he saw crystals and four girls sweating on their foreheads. Tang Song, who felt a little tired, called the monks who were greeting people everywhere in the temple and filled in the food.  After pouring sesame oil and offering it, the group was welcomed by the happy-looking monks to serve tea in the temple¡¯s monastery.

    After passing the two-level palace, there were slightly fewer people. Everyone had just walked out of the Luohan Hall, and three middle-aged people walking together in ordinary clothes walked across from them.

    They are said to be middle-aged, but these people actually have a frosty color on their temples, and there are faint rough wrinkles on their faces. They are really different from ordinary people of this age.

    Because these people had different temperaments, Tang Song deliberately glanced at a few more people as he moved forward.  But what makes him strange is that if an ordinary person is looked at face to face by a stranger, he will definitely look back, but these people are indifferent to his visit.

    Just at this moment, Tang Song suddenly noticed that the bodies of Shangguan brothers suddenly became tense.  But before he could ask doubtful questions, the two parties had already approached and were about to pass each other.

    At this moment, several rays of sword light brighter than the sun suddenly appeared, two of which went straight towards the Shangguan brothers beside them, and the other went straight towards Tang Song with fierce murderous intent.

    In later generations and in this life, Tang Song is just an ordinary person. Even if he experienced an assassination when he was in Xiangyang, it was not targeted at him.  What's more, that time he was shot from a distance with a crossbow.  As far as he was concerned, let alone personal experience, he never thought that one day he would encounter such a brutal assassination in person.

    In an instant, his mind went blank as he stared at the sword light coming towards his chest, but his whole body was unable to react at all.

    At the critical moment between life and death, a foot kicked him in the stomach, just a few breaths faster than the sword. Tang Song had just stepped down the steps in front of the Luohan Hall. After receiving this kick, his body did not lean forward.  He stumbled backwards and fell backwards.

    He fell backwards, barely avoiding a knife in the chest.  Then there was a crisp sound of "snap", but this powerful and heavy knife slashed down on his leg. The jade Peko tied between his legs instantly shattered and flew everywhere, but the momentum of the knife was not exhausted.  The next one slipped away, and there was a palm-long wound on Karamatsu's leg, and blood immediately poured out.

    Just a moment ago, there was a peaceful scene in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, there was a sword light coming towards him. Everything happened too fast. It was not until he was stabbed in the leg and fell to the ground that Karamatsu's blank brain recovered.

    Assassination!

    At this time, the four girls finally came to their senses, opened their mouths and began to scream miserably.

    The scream was so sharp, but Karamatsu couldn't hear it. After Gain's assassin failed, the blade of the sword was drawn out between the arms, and he was sure to hit him again.

    Just now, Shangguan Jin tried his best to save him a glimmer of life with a knife in his arm. Now Shangguan and the two were tightly entangled and had no time to rescue him. At this critical moment of life and death, Tang Song had no time to think anymore, and his fallen body rolled away.  , and then kicked the monk who was accompanying him hard.

    The assassin¡¯s inevitable knife hit the monk in the chest. The monk¡¯s screams only made people shudder. When he was struggling to die, the monk¡¯s hands waving randomly actually grabbed one of the assassin¡¯s forearms.  Just like a drowning person who refuses to let go of something, this innocent monk from White Horse Temple not only blocked Karamatsu's fatal blow, but also bought him a precious moment.

    At this time, Karamatsu, who was so nervous that his nerves were about to snap, not only could not hear the outside world, he could not even feel the pain from the injury on his leg, but his mind was spinning faster than ever.  He stood up and pushed away the crystal on the other side. After shouting "disperse", he ran straight to the Luohan Hall where he came from.

    Entering the Arhat Hall, Tang Song rushed directly behind the statue on one side. As soon as he entered, he heard a muffled sound of "bang", but it was the sound of a heavy knife hitting the Arhat statue.

    White Horse Temple is one of the few Buddhist jungles in the world, and the furnishings and decorations inside are far beyond those of ordinary temples.  For example, the Arhat statues standing on both sides of the Arhat Hall are as high as ten feet.The expressions and costumes are lifelike.  Because the statues are so large, for the convenience of cleaning, there is space left on the front, back, left and right of each statue for people to display their bodies.

    Tang Song, who had no power to fight back, was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog, taking advantage of the unique terrain to avoid the assassin's pursuit. However, even so, although he was lucky enough to miss his life, he would have been stabbed again in the shoulder. If it hadn't been for him  His reaction to dodge between life and death is particularly fast. Even if he doesn't lose his life, he will be a one-armed man from now on.

    I don¡¯t know how many knives I had avoided, and I don¡¯t know how much time had passed. Suddenly, repeated calls of ¡°Master¡± came from outside the statue, and immediately someone came looking for him.

    It wasn't until Shangguan Ming supported him that Karamatsu dared to stop. The physical exertion in such a short period of time was too great. As soon as he stopped, Karamatsu couldn't stand. He was panting like an ox and felt that his lungs were about to explode.  Also dizzy.

    "There were many people in the White Horse Temple today. The assassins ran away when they saw more and more people approaching. My eldest brother and I were concerned about the safety of the young master and did not pursue him. My eldest brother was also stabbed in the arm."

    Regardless of whether Tang Song understood or not, Shangguan Ming supported him and walked out, saying ferociously: "These three people must be brave men with many years of experience in the army. It's a pity that my eldest brother and I don't have any weapons"  "

    "What are you talking about? Why don't you help the young master out quickly so that someone can stop the bleeding and treat the injury?" Shangguan Jin ignored the stab wound on his arm, and he and Shangguan Ming walked out of the Luohan Hall, supporting Tang Song on the left and right.

    Until this moment, Karamatsu could barely speak. His voice was as dry as a mouth full of sand, and his throat was extremely thirsty. "Where's the crystal?"

    "She insisted on coming over. I was afraid that she would cause trouble if she came, so I asked the monks in the temple to take care of her."

    Although he knew that the assassin¡¯s target was only him, Crystal should not be in any danger.  But he didn't really feel relieved until he heard this.

    At this time, they had just walked out of the Luohan Hall. Karamatsu, who was being held in the middle, suddenly felt weak at his feet. Before he could react, what was going on.  The body with injured shoulders and legs was pushed to the ground by a storm-like force, and then his back sank, but someone fell on him.

    Almost at the same time, the body of the man leaning on him trembled violently.  Then Shangguan Ming hissed in pain: "Brother, be careful, it's a military crossbow"

    Before Shangguan Ming could finish his roar, Tang Song, who could no longer bear it physically and mentally, fainted.

    I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but Tang Song felt a faint intermittent coolness on his face, but his eyelids were extremely heavy.  Slowly opening his eyes, he was in a daze at first, and then he saw Crystal's eyes clearly. At this time, his eyes no longer had the stunning Yun Dan Feng Qing, and were very red.  The water mist is lingering, and from time to time it condenses into a little teardrop and drips down.

    I saw him awake.  Crystal didn't speak either.

    Karamatsu tried his best to raise his uninjured hand and weakly touched Crystal's face, trying to wipe away her tears. He also tried his best to smile, "Silly girl, I'm fine. If you cry again, you'll drown me."  "

    Crystal was still speechless, but just held onto Karamatsu's hand that was touching her eyes. Not only were her tears not less, but they were rolling more and more like broken pearls.

    Seeing that this was not an option, Karamatsu could only change his words, "I'm thirsty."

    This was more effective than anything else, and Crystal immediately went to pour water.  Taking this opportunity, Tang Song took a look at the environment. This should be a Zen room in the White Horse Temple. It was not large, and there were only him and Shushuang in the room.  Instead, there were faint voices coming from the doorway outside.

    "Brother, come in"

    "Master, you're awake." With the wound on his shoulder wrapped, Shangguan Jin came in from the outside in response. Behind him was a businessman in soap clothes. Just look at the color of the bandage around his waist.  He is clearly a Dutou.  Behind the official was a school lieutenant in imperial uniform.

    Tang Song ignored these two people and just asked anxiously: "How is Brother Six?"

    Shangguan Jin¡¯s voice was low, ¡°I was hit by a crossbow. Although luckily I missed the vital point, life and death are still between the two.¡±

    Hearing this, Tang Song was speechless.  Although it was only a vague memory, he also knew that if Shangguan Ming had not blocked the crossbow for him, he would definitely die.

    The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn for a moment.  Seeing this, the chief official and the captain of the imperial army looked at each other, expecting the other to speak first.

    No wonder the two of them are in such trouble.  Before the Obon Festival, the assassination that took place in broad daylight at the White Horse Temple was shocking enough, let alone the fact that the target of the assassination was Karamatsu.

    With the Gongsheng riot that rocked the capital last year, and the subsequent incident between Zhuang Hang and Liuye Winery, Tang Song's reputation was well known in the Jingzhao Yamen.

    ??The boss naturally knew that the master in front of him was someone who could eat wine in a small wine shop with the official, so after hearing the news and rushing over, he heard that he had been stabbed.It was him, and he was seriously injured. Suddenly his mind was buzzing, almost to the point of confusion.

    The area of ??the immortal White Horse Temple is under his jurisdiction, and today is really the time when he should be on duty. If something happens, the first person who cannot escape is him, my dear father!

    While rushing people to report to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, they placed Tang Song in the Zen room, and then asked a group of businessmen they brought to guard the doors and windows of the Zen room. As for finding someone to treat the injury and prepare medicine,  It was all done by him, with only indescribable diligence and care. He hoped that he could give Karamatsu a word in advance and help him at least from behind.

    He also understood that if such a big thing happened, no matter how it ended, he would be among the unlucky ones. At that time, Karamatsu's words would be more useful than anything else.

    Because Luoyang is so big, security and defense matters have always been jointly managed by the Forbidden Army with the help of public servants. For the small officer of the Forbidden Army, the pain of his head is also his pain, and he also has a deeper worry.  .

    Crossbows can only be made by generals, and they will not be distributed to the people at all. They are truly important weapons in the military.  Even in the military, such sophisticated ordnance is strictly supervised when not fighting.  Especially for the Forbidden Army, whose station area is extremely sensitive and is also responsible for the security of the palace, the crossbows are closely guarded.  Among all types of crossbows, the hand crossbow, which is compact and easy to carry, is the most important.

    Today¡¯s assassin¡¯s second wave of assassinations used a hand crossbow, which is an unparalleled weapon for assassination.  In Luoyang City, only the Imperial Guards are eligible to possess crossbows.  Even if this hand crossbow did not come from the Forbidden Army, the Forbidden Army, which is also responsible for guarding and inspecting the city gate, is also involved.

    Although the captain of the imperial army did not know Tang Song's background, and he did not understand the disputes and chaos in the court due to his low official position, but with just a little talk, he also knew that the imperial army was probably in big trouble this time, with his crossbow so sensitive.  The weapon appeared in an equally sensitive assassination, and its significance even transcended the case itself.

    Tang Song neither wanted nor had the energy to chat with these two people who had little decision-making power. Before the official could even speak, he asked Shangguan Jin to lead them out.

    While taking a sip of water under the careful care of the crystal, Karamatsu didn't care about his lack of energy, his mind was running rapidly, and all he thought about was one question - who wants to kill me?  Who was responsible for the assassination today?

    Because of the experience of the previous Xiangyang assassination case, Tang Song also knew the significance of the crossbow.  He could also think of what the captain of the imperial army was thinking. Someone who dared to do such a thing and had the ability to do such a thing must be a high-ranking person.

    If someone has a high position and has a reason to kill him, this range is already very narrow.  There are as many as three people that can be thought of in this range. All three of them are capable and willing to arrange this assassination.  It is easy to identify a suspected target, but when it comes to the next step of identifying a specific person, Ren Tangsong considers various situations and thinks about it again and again, but is still unable to determine.

    There is a fog in front of me, who is this person?  (To be continued
