Tibet

Just three days after the assassination, Li Ye led a mighty army to Xiangyang City.

The camp had been prepared for a long time. The soldiers had all moved into the camp in the west of the city, but there was no place to house the 20,000 camels. Li Dai quickly arranged for craftsmen to build a camel camp in an open space in Nancheng. Hundreds of craftsmen worked together, and it took at most two days. The construction is completed.

"What?"

When Li Ye heard that his father had been assassinated, he was furious. Needless to say, he could guess that no one else but Feilong was taking revenge on him for taking away his Qiaoling wealth.

"How is Jiang Erniang doing?"

Li Dai sighed, "My life was saved, but the situation is very bad. The doctor said that the lung pulse was injured. Even if the trauma is cured, I won't live for a few years."

Li Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the assassin?"

Li Dai shook his head, "I guess they are no longer in the city, but they must still be near Xiangyang. Yesterday I found their foothold in Xiangyang, at the Jiangxia Inn. But thanks to the gold silk armor you gave me, the opponent's poisonous knife was bloody. With my throat sealed, I was spinning around in front of the gate of hell."

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "I asked the dead soldiers of the Dugu family to protect my father. Did they all go back?"

"They are here, and they are the ones protecting me now, Ye'er. I don't blame them. They usually protect me, but that day happened to be the day I didn't want them to protect me. I didn't expect that I would be assassinated that day."

Li Ye shook his head, "It's not a coincidence, the assassin has been waiting for the opportunity."

"Maybe!"

Li Dai sighed and asked again: "Ye'er, do you think they will come again?"

Li Ye nodded, "If they haven't completed the task, how can they go back and explain? They will definitely come again, but I won't give them another chance."

Li Ye returned home with his wife and daughter. Pei Sanniang was happy and sad at the same time when she saw her son and his family. She hugged her precious granddaughter and never let go.

Li Ye and his wife came to visit Jiang. His sister Li Yun couldn't help crying when she saw her brother. Li Ye comforted her and handed her over to his wife Dugu Xinyue.

Li Ye looked at Mrs. Jiang and saw that her complexion was sallow and angry, and she reluctantly smiled at Li Ye.

At this time, Li Dai shouted: "Ye'er, come out!"

Li Ye came to the yard and saw his father and an old man with white hair and beard together. Li Dai introduced: "This is the imperial doctor Li Tonghe. He just came from Suizhou. He diagnosed Er Niang's pulse."

Li Ye quickly saluted, "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Li!"

The old imperial doctor stroked his beard and said: "The general's medicine is a miracle medicine. According to the condition of her injury, she would not survive that day. Even if I came here, I couldn't save her. I didn't expect that she could hang her life with just one pill. It's simply unbelievable. I wonder what the general’s pill formula is?”

Li Ye shook his head, "I don't know the formula. It took Liefeng twenty years to prepare it. Doctor Wang should know her!"

"It turns out to be Lie Feng, no wonder."

The old imperial doctor did not dare to ask about the formula anymore. He added: "This pill is a strong medicine. You can use strong medicine to save people's lives. Then you can no longer use strong medicine when you recover. For the next ten days, take half a pill every day. Take it in water and mix it with the medicine I prescribed. After ten days, the young master's pills must be stopped, and then I will switch to another medicine. After one month, her body will be 80% recovered."

Li Dai was overjoyed, "Can it recover to 80%?"

Dr. Wang nodded, "The key is to have the magical medicine as the basis to achieve this effect. Otherwise, it would be God's turn to recover three achievements."

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "I will give Dr. Wang three pills. Can Dr. Wang work out its formula?"

Imperial Doctor Wang gave a bitter smile, "Actually, I may know this formula, and many imperial physicians know it, but it's useless. The medicinal materials used to prepare it are too expensive. It requires more than a hundred herbs, and even Liefeng spent twenty years on it. Not to mention us."

This is indeed the truth. It is a problem of raw materials, not the formula.

Li Ye didn't ask any more questions. He apologized and went to the side courtyard to find Liu Wutong. Liu Wutong was slightly injured, which was not a big problem. However, three of his four apprentices died, which was a heavy blow to Liu Wutong.

Liu Wutong sighed and said in a deep voice: "The other party has been following us for several days. The timing is very accurate, and all of them are highly skilled in martial arts. I later went to Jiangxia Inn to investigate and determined that there were thirteen people in the opponent, and nine were involved in the assassination. people, then the other four should be responsible for the retreat. They escaped from the east city gate. Master, I have a hunch that they have not gone far and will definitely come again. We have to kill them all, otherwise the emperor will be in danger."

Li Ye nodded, "Accompany me to Jiangxia Inn and take a look."

The Jiangxia Inn was completely implicated. The inn stopped operating, and the two private courtyards were also sealed by the government, with state government seals affixed to them. The shopkeeper and several clerks were interrogated continuously, just like oil, trying to squeeze out something from them. A little useful clue, but unfortunately they really know nothing about it. Even so, they must stay in the inn and wait for questioning at any time.

Li Ye, Li Mi and a dozen of their subordinates followed Liu Wutong to the inn, and some officials removed the temporary seal.

Li Ye pushed the door open and entered the private courtyard. The courtyard and the room remained the same as when the assassins left three days ago. It could be seen that they were well prepared. The room was neatly packed, but a dozen pieces of luggage were left behind. There was no time to take away, including hundreds of taels of silver.

The luggage consisted of clothes and some weapons. No clues could be found on the luggage. Several groups of people had come and searched thoroughly several times, but no other clues were found.

At this time, Li Ye looked up at the roof beams, and he faintly saw a white dot flashing past.

"Has the beam been searched?"

Liu Wutong shook his head, "I haven't searched it, but the state government should have searched it!"

Li Ye immediately ordered: "Bring a ladder!"

Soon, his soldiers found a ladder, and Li Ye put it on the beam and climbed up. Sure enough, he found a piece of paper on the beam, a painting to be precise, with two human heads hanging on the tree. There is still blood dripping below, with Li Dai written on the left and Li Ye written on the right.

Below are two headless corpses being eaten by a pack of wild dogs.

This is simply a blatant provocation and an extreme insult. The other party is issuing a challenge to himself.

Li Ye slowly clenched his fists, controlled his emotions, slowly walked down the ladder, and handed the picture to Li Mi, "Look at this!"

Li Mi took it, looked at it, frowned and said, "They just came!"

Li Ye nodded, he thought so too. It had only been less than two hours since he came back, and the other party had already prepared the threat. He also knew that he would come to the inn and deliberately placed it on the beam in the house. This efficiency Simply breathtaking.

"Whoever is responsible for guarding this place, call someone here!"

After a moment, a state police officer stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "See you, General!"

"How many people do you have to guard the inn?" Li Ye asked.

"Reporting to the general, there are thirty people in total."

"An assassin came in within an hour, did you know?"

The catcher was stunned, and quickly shook his head and said: "Impossible, all the windows are locked, and you can only come in through the door, but there is a lock above, and the key is here!"

Li Ye looked around and saw that the front and rear windows were locked. It was really impossible to get in. The only possibility was the roof. Li Ye looked up at the roof. There were a few tiles that were not neat and there was a faint light coming from the roof.

Li Ye immediately made a judgment, "The other party came down from the roof."
