Tang Song's house and Lu Yuanfang's house are in the northern city of Luoyang, and are also located in the Fang District in the front three rows of the imperial city. The distance between the two is not far, so Tang Song has never hired a car and is thinking about his thoughts while walking.

There were many preparations for the actions of the four families, but once he really started to take action, he became idle. He wanted to see Taiping, but although the two returned from Jiangnan together, they did not come to Luoyang together. Taiping first left Chang'an. After all, she left Beijing in the name of inspecting Chang'an's other industries the previous time, and then went to Jiangnan to return to Luoyang. She still had to go to Chang'an to meet the princess's etiquette first, so that she would not be suspicious.

Taiping is far from an ordinary princess. She is not as good as her rules, so she will naturally move slowly. Calculate the time, and now she is still on the way from Chang'an to Luoyang.

Tang Songyuan still thought that this was due to her identity, so she had to do so. But after the change of the morning court this morning happened, she laughed at herself for being too simple before. The thief Taiping, the thief, probably thought of this a long time ago, and it was clearly taking advantage of the opportunity that people were not in Luoyang to avoid suspicion.

Seeing her in the dark room, she was so bold and unrestrained about men and women. However, she didn't expect that once political actions were involved, she would be so cautious and cunning.

This thief! Thinking of this, Tang Song couldn't help but curse a few more words.

In exchange, although Taiping agreed to cooperate with him to deal with the four families this time, her team did not reveal anything to Tang Song. Because if she was not in Beijing at this moment, Tang Song would not be able to interfere in the operation of her forces. Even if she wanted to make some adjustments based on the chaos, she didn't know who to contact him. He was afraid that others would not recognize him.

This cooperation with Taiping was really passive. The more you think about this, the more you feel depressed. Later, it was inevitable that you would be ruthless in your heart, "When you use it on my head, if you don't let you die of ecstasy, I'm sorry for the way you put it today."

While walking, she thought about her thoughts, but soon returned to Ci'er House. After she came back, she had to go to the girl Shuijing's room first, but she saw that her expression seemed a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Tang Song immediately felt a little self-blame. "I have been from Jiangnan to Luoyang for some days, and I don't say that I have been busy all the way. After arriving, he has been busy these days, and I don't have to spend more time with Shui Jing. And she is the kind of person who refuses to go out after she leaves herself. The fatigue of the long journey and the depression in the room every day, so it is normal.

As soon as I thought about it, I saw that it was just after noon. Although it was a little hot, the weather was really good. Tang Song said, "Crystal, let's go out for fun!"

Tang Song has been busy these days and has less time to spend with her. When he heard this, Crystal suddenly felt a little energetic. Although he had never spoken, his eyebrows and eyes were full of fascination. Perhaps he remembered the experience of Tang Song taking her around Luoyang before the scientific examination last year.

After hearing what Tang Song said, the girls suddenly became energetic and chattered that tomorrow is the Ullambane Festival. Today, the major Buddhist temples in the city will definitely be very lively gossip. While talking, they prepared the equipment for crystal to follow Tang Song to travel.

The servant's clothes, the servant's hat, and many things for makeup, which are convenient for dressing up the crystal in an ugly way.

After taking the servant costume handed over by the maids, Shui Jing was about to change her clothes, but Tang Song stopped him.

Perhaps because of her previous self-blame, Tang Song no longer thought about whether it was troublesome or not. He just wanted to take Shui Jing out for fun, so that she could be happy and beautiful, "I won't wear this today."

After saying that, Tang Song turned sideways and smiled and said to the maids: "Let's show your ability to have all your kids, and the more beautiful your lady is, the better."

At this moment, the chirping of the four maids suddenly became more noisy. Influenced by this atmosphere, Tang Song's heart was relieved much more quickly.

Half an hour later, when the maids walked out with crystals, even Tang Song and her were still a little dazzled when they were with her day and night.

Crystal is naturally beautiful and has a disaster to the point of harming the country and the people. After some careful dressing up, the result is... a monster! It's impossible to attract hatred if you want to take such a woman.

After hiring two tall chases and calling the Shangguan brothers to go to the dispersion together, Tang Song took Shui Jing and others out of the mansion and headed straight to Baima Temple.

If we say that the most famous Buddhist Zen forest in Luoyang must be the White Horse Temple, the more we go to the White Horse Temple, the more crowded the roads, the more we get to the White Horse Temple. When we reach the gate, it is already crowded and bustling.

Seeing such a lively scene, Tang Song's mood had completely improved. He got off the car and laughed and talked with the Shangguan brothers. The four girls chattered with each other constantly. As I was here last year, I saw the various excitement around Tang Song's clothes on the corner of the bridge.

The four girls were pretty, and they were very eye-catching when they got together, let alone Shui Jing, who was a disaster for the country and the people. At this moment, they immediately attracted countless eyes in front of the lively mountain gate, some of which were amazing about Shui Jing's unparalleled beauty, and some of which were envious, jealous and hatred for Tang Song. There was no way, who made Shui Jing so unavoidable and act so close to him?

It’s not that I don’t avoid suspicion, but that Crystal really doesn’t have the idea of ​​“suspicion” at all.

Seeing this, Tang Song lamented that this trip was so wise that he would have brought the Shangguan brothers together. If it weren't for them, how could he have played with him with five beauties? From this, he could understand the scene of a wealthy family having to be very servants when traveling.

Since he couldn't avoid it, he simply ignored it. Tang Song was too lazy to pay attention to the various gazes and took the crystal through the vast and lively mountain gate and entered the White Horse Temple.

There were also people in the temple, and there was no need to express all the noise. After swimming the halls and corridors, Tang Song, who saw sweat on his forehead and felt a little tired, called the monks who were greeting everywhere in the temple. After filling in a heavy filling of insulated oil for worship, the group was greeted by the monks with joy on their faces to serve tea.

After passing two halls, there were a little fewer people. As soon as everyone walked out of the Luohan Hall, three middle-aged people walking together, wearing ordinary clothes came across.

It is said to be middle-aged, but these people actually have frost on their temples and rough wrinkles on their faces, which is actually different from ordinary people of this age.

Because of the different temperaments of these people, Tang Song looked at a few more while moving forward. But what surprised him was that if an ordinary person was looked at by a stranger face to face, he would definitely look back, but these people were indifferent to his exploration.

Just then, Tang Song suddenly found that Brother Shangguan's body suddenly tensed up. But before he could ask questions in confusion, both sides had approached and were about to pass by.

At this moment, several sword lights that were brighter than the sun suddenly rose up, two of them headed straight for Brother Shangguan beside him, and the other headed straight for Tang Song with a sharp murderous intent.

In later generations and this life, Tang Song was just an ordinary person. Even if he had an assassination when he was in Xiangyang, it was not targeted. What's more, he was shot with a crossbow. As for himself, let alone his personal experience, he never thought that one day he would encounter such a fierce face-to-face assassination.

In an instant, his mind went blank. He looked at the sword light coming from his chest, but his whole body couldn't react at all.

Just at the strait of life and death, he kicked his stomach with one foot. It was only a few breaths faster than the sword light. Tang Song had just stepped down the steps in front of the Luohan Hall. After taking this kick, he did not lean forward. He had tripped backwards and fell backwards.

He fell back and barely avoided the chest in the flash. Then, a crisp sound of "pop", the powerful and heavy knife slashed downwards on his legs. The jade peke tied between his legs was instantly shattered and splattered. The momentum of the knife was not over. It slipped off, and Tang Song suddenly had a palm-long wound on his legs, and blood immediately poured out.

Just now, the calm atmosphere was still full of calmness, and a knife light came to his face in a flash. Everything came too quickly. It was not until he got a knife on his leg and fell to the ground that Tang Song's blank brain recovered again.

Assassination!

At this time, the four girls finally woke up and started screaming shrillly.

The scream was so sharp that Tang Song could not hear it, because the person who assassinated him failed to kill him, and then he came out in his chest with his hands.

Just now, Shangguan Jin tried to kill him with a knife in his arm to save him a glimmer of hope. Now Shangguan and the others were entangled and had no time to rescue him. At the moment of life and death, Tang Song had no more time to think. He rolled down and then kicked the monk who was with him.

The assassin was sure to hit the monk's chest with a knife. The monk's screams were chilling. When he was struggling to death, the monk's hands waving his random hands actually grabbed one of the assassin's forearm. Just as a drowning man grasped what he refused to let go, this innocent monk from Baima Temple not only blocked the death-dead sword for Tang Song, but also won him a precious moment.

At this time, Tang Song, who was so nervous that his nerves were about to break, not only could not hear the outside world, but even the injuries on his legs could not feel the pain, but his mind turned faster than ever. He stood up and pushed away the crystal on the other side, roared "dispersed", and ran straight to Luohantang.

After entering the Luohan Hall, Tang Song rushed directly behind the statue of the god on one side. As soon as he entered, he heard a dull "bang", but the sound of a heavy knife hitting the statue of the Luohan.

White Horse Temple is a Buddhist jungle in the world, and the furnishings and cloths inside are far beyond ordinary temples. For example, the Arhat statues standing on both sides of the Arhat Hall are so high that they are close to the top, and their expressions are vivid. Because the statues are too big, for the sake of cleaning, each statue has space for people to show their bodies in front, back, left and right.

Tang Song, who had no power to fight back, was anxious like a stray dog, using this unique terrain to avoid the assassin's pursuit. However, even so, although he was lucky enough to be poor, he could not help but be hit on the back of his shoulder. If he hadn't had his reaction to avoid life and death, even if he did not lose his life, he would have been a one-armed man from now on.

I don’t know how many times I dodged, and how long it took, but suddenly there was a call from outside the statue of God, and someone came to him.

It was not until Shangguan Ming held him that Tang Song dared to stop. In a short period of time, he consumed too much physical strength. When he stopped, Tang Song couldn't stand any longer. He gasped like a cow, felt his lungs exploded, and his brain was dizzy.

"Today there are many people in the White Horse Temple. The assassins ran away when they saw and heard the sound. My elder brother and I were worried about the safety of Young Master, so we did not chase him. The elder brother was also stabbed in the arm."

Regardless of whether Tang Song understood or not, Shangguan Ming helped him walk out, and said with a ferocious voice: "These three must be brave enough to be aged in the army. It's a pity that I and my elder brother have no weapons in hand..."

"I'm talking about these many things. Why don't you help the young master out quickly so that you can find someone to stop bleeding and cure the wound." Shangguan Jin ignored the knife wound on his arm and helped Tang Song and walked out of the Luohan Hall with Shangguan Ming.

Until then, Tang Song could barely speak ※The voice was as dry as if his mouth was covered with sand, and his throat was thirsty. "Where is the crystal?"

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

Although he knew that the assassin's target was only himself and there would be no danger to Crystal. But he didn't really feel relieved until he heard this.

At this time, they had just walked out of the Luohan Hall, and Tang Song, who was being held in the middle, suddenly felt weak. Before he could react, his body was injured in his shoulders and legs and was pressed to the ground by a storm-like force. Then his back sank, but someone lies on his body.

Almost at the same time, the man who was lying 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 not bear the physical and mental health, fainted.

After a while, Tang Song vaguely felt a bit of intermittent coolness on his face, but his eyelids were extremely heavy. He slowly opened his eyes, and at first he was in a daze, then he saw Crystal's eyes clearly. At this time, there was no more amazing clouds and wind in his eyes, and the mist was shrouded in the water, and from time to time, it condensed into a few tears and dripped down.

Seeing that he woke up, Crystal didn't say anything.

Tang Song tried his best to lift the uninjured hand, and stroked the crystal's face weakly, trying to wipe her tears away. He also tried to smile, "Silly girl, I'm fine, I'll drown me if I cried again."

Crystal was still speechless, but only grabbed Tang Song's hand that touched her eyes. Not only did she cry, but she rolled more and more like a broken pearl.

Seeing that this was not a solution, Tang Song had to distract himself, "I'm thirsty."

This works better than anything else. Shuijing immediately poured water. Tang Song took advantage of this and looked at the environment. This should be a Zen room in White Horse Temple. It was not large in size, and there were only him and Shuijing in the room. However, there was a vague voice at the door outside.

"Brother, come in"

"Young Master, you're awake." With the wound wrapped around his shoulders, Shangguan Jin walked in from outside. There was a tolerance in a soap suit behind him. Just looking at the color of his belly wrap around his waist, he was obviously a head-on. Behind the tolerance was a captain in an 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 I was lucky enough to hit the point, life and death are still between the two."

Hearing this, Tang Song couldn't say anything. Although it was just a vague memory, he knew that if Shangguan Ming had not blocked the crossbow for him, he would have died.

The atmosphere in the room was solemn for a moment. Seeing this, the toll looked at the Imperial Army Captain and then looked at each other and said first.

No wonder the two of them were so embarrassed. Before the Yubun Festival, the assassination in the White Horse Temple was shocking enough, not to mention that the target of the assassination was Tang Song.

There was a riot of tribute students who caused a sensation in Shendu last year, and then something happened in Zhuang Hang and Liuye Tavern. Tang Song's popularity sounded in Jingzhao Yamen.

This head naturally knew that the person in front of him was a person who could drink with Shangguan Dizhao in a small restaurant. So when he heard the news, he heard that he was stabbed and was seriously injured. His mind suddenly buzzed, almost causing chaos.

The White Horse Temple is so dying that it is under his jurisdiction, and today is really his time to be on duty. If there is something, the first one that cannot escape is him, his dear!

While urgently asking someone to report to Jingzhao Yin Yamen, he placed Tang Song in this Zen room on the one hand, and then asked the consignees to guard the doors and windows of the Zen room. As for finding someone to treat the wounds and prepare medicine, he was the one who could only be careful and at singular. He hoped that everything would be able to make a statement in front of Tang Song, and at least he could pull him from behind.

He also understood that if such a big thing happened, no matter what happened in the end, he would not be missing from the unlucky people. By then, Tang Song's words were more effective than anything else.

Because Luoyang is too big, public security and defense affairs have always been managed by the imperial guards. For the imperial guards, the pain in the head is also his pain, and he still has a deeper worry in the vague sense.

Crossbows can only be manufactured as supervisors, and will not flow to the people at all. They are a real and heavy weapon in the army. Even in the army, such precise military ordnances are strictly regulated when not fighting. Especially for the imperial guards who are extremely sensitive to the site and are responsible for the safety of the palace, crossbows are even more closely guarded. Among all kinds of crossbows, the small size of the crossbows, which are easy to carry, are even more important.

Today, the second wave of assassin's assassination was the hand crossbow, which was the unparalleled weapon of assassination. In Luoyang City, only the imperial guards are qualified to have crossbow bows. Even if the crossbow does not come from the imperial guards, the imperial guards, who are also responsible for the inspection of the city gate guards, will not be separated from it.

Although the Imperial Army Captain did not know Tang Song's background and did not understand the disputes and chaos in the court because of his low official position, he also knew that the Imperial Army might be in big trouble this time. The military weapon as sensitive as a crossbow appeared in an equally sensitive assassination, and its significance even exceeded the case itself.

Tang Song neither wanted nor had the energy to talk to these two people who had no right to decide. Before the consignee could speak, he asked Shangguan Jin to lead them out.

While Shuijing was carefully caring for her, drinking water in a small gulp. Tang Song didn't care about his lack of energy and his mind was running rapidly. All he thought about was a question - who wanted to kill me? Who was the assassination of this time today?

Because of the previous experience of the Xiangyang assassination, Tang Song also knew the significance of the crossbow. The imperial guards could also think that those who dared to do and had the ability to do such things must be high-powered people.

The high position and the power have a reason to kill him, so the scope is already very narrow. There are as many as three people in this range. These three people have the ability and are willing to arrange this assassination. It is easy to draw out the suspect target, but when you want to specific someone in the next step, Ren Tangsong has combined various situations and then thought about it repeatedly but still cannot be sure.

There was a fog in front of me. Who is this person? (To be continued...
