The more Zhang Lang thought about it, the more he felt that the words of the Emperor of Heavenly Master yesterday were very suspicious. But if she really doubted herself, why didn't she say it directly? Yes, she shouldn't be sure, otherwise there was no need to test it like that. The reason why she didn't say it was because she was afraid that if she guessed it wrong, she would offend the King of Qin. If she thought so, then the current blockade state could be explained. It must be that she told Li Yuan that the King of Liao might have sneaked into Chang'an and launched two attacks. Li Yuanxin thought it was true, so he issued the imperial edict and strengthened his security. Pang Zhan stood aside, and saw Zhang Lang frowning with a gloomy expression, and he was very curious, but he did not dare to disturb him.

At this time, a guard ran in and clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, someone from the Qin Palace is here, invite the young master to go to the Qin Palace to discuss matters."

Not long after, Zhang Lang came to the Qin Palace alone. As soon as he entered the gate, he learned that the King of Qin and Xu Maogong Li Xiuning and Chai Shao were both in the study. Zhang Lang immediately came to the study and saw Li Shimin, and bowed with fists and said, "King of Qin!" Li Shimin saw Zhang Lang coming, and was happy and said, "Brother Chen is here!" Then he pointed to the seat on the right head opposite Xu Maogong, "Brother Chen, please sit!"

When Zhang Lang was surprised to see that Li Shimin actually asked him to be the throne of the right head, he was not easy to refuse, so he had to walk over and sit down. As soon as he looked up, he saw Chai Shao sitting under Li Xiuning staring at him with jealousy, feeling inexplicable. Then he understood and thought that this guy probably knew that he had been alone with Li Xiuning that night and hated him. Zhang Lang felt a little funny, but then he became alert, because he thought that once a man held a grudge against someone else because of a woman, he might be able to do anything.

When Zhang Lang thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiuning, and saw Li Xiuning frowning and staring at him with a complicated expression. The two of them collided in mid-air, and Li Xiuning hurriedly looked away. Chai Shao took this scene in his eyes, and only when they were openly conveying their emotions, the jealousy in his heart immediately erupted like a volcano!

Li Shimin said to Zhang Lang: "Brother Chen, you really couldn't leave the city!" Zhang Lang clasped his fists and said, "I was ready to leave this morning, but I was blocked at the city gate!"

Li Shimin nodded and frowned and said, "Last night, when his brother and the guests he invited returned to the city from the villa outside the city, they were suddenly attacked near the city gate. I heard that there were heavy casualties!..." Xu Maogong continued, "One of the things is very strange. Yesterday, the Prince and the others were attacked, and almost all the civil and military officials of the Tiance Prefecture were killed and injured. Now the officials of the Tiance Prefecture are panic and rumored, saying that His Highness Qin launched the attack last night, not only to eliminate the prince, but also to eliminate the civil and military officials of the Tiance Prefecture who were not loyal to the Qin Prefecture!" Chai Shao said angrily: "It's simply nonsense!"

Zhang Lang clasped his fists at Li Shimin and said, "King Qin, after the banquet last night, he happened to encounter the attack on the prince on his way back to the inn... "Everyone said that he had a look on his face. Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "What's the situation at that time? Did Brother Chen find out the clues?"

Zhang Lang showed a look of memories, "At that time, there were probably thousands of attackers, all of whom were masked in black. A considerable number of them were superb in combat, and they should be elites in the army. Others were different, not like the people in the army, but they all had excellent martial arts. At that time, the leader of the Cai Nu, Yan Niang, was besieged by two handsome men in black. If it weren't for my and my subordinates' attacks, she would have died at the hands of those men in black!"

Xu Maogong hurriedly asked, "Brother Chen has fought with those men in black?" Zhang Lang nodded. Xu Maogong asked again, "Did Brother Chen see any clues?" Zhang Lang said apologetically: "After visiting Zhongtu, I have not studied the martial arts of various schools of Middle-earth, and I don't know what their origins are." Li Shimin and Xu Maogong couldn't help but show a disappointed expression. Chai Shao suddenly sneered: "Do you don't know, or don't want to say it?" As soon as this said, everyone changed color, because his words clearly imply that Zhang Lang was in the same group as those men in black. Li Shimin said seriously: "I absolutely believe Brother Chen, he cannot be in the same group as those people! Sichang, you should not doubt your own people randomly!"

Chai Shao was resentful, and just thought Li Shimin favored Zhang Lang and said in a voice: "I am not just arbitrary suspicion! Don't the King of Qin feel that something is too coincidental? None of us encountered the attack, but Zhang Lang encountered it! And it was late at night when the prince was attacked last night. Why was he still wandering on the street so late? I even suspected that he was not present at the time, and he was the only one among the men in black! Maybe his hands were already covered with the blood of my civil and military officials of the Tiance Prefecture!"

Li Shimin's face looked very ugly. Xu Maogong said to Chai Shao: "Young Master Chai is wrong. The reason why Brother Chen was still outside so late last night was because the King of Qin invited Brother Chen last night. Everyone was happy to drink and it was late at night. Let's talk about Brother Chen's attack at that time, there was nothing strange about the attack on the prince."

Chai Shao was stunned. He had no idea that the King of Qin was in the mansion last night. Then he thought that when it was dark yesterday, he was following Li Xiuning and clearly saw Li Xiuning entering the King of Qin's mansion. Thinking that Chen Liang was also there at that time, a very bad idea immediately came to his heart, and his face changed drastically.

When Li Shimin and Xu Maogong saw that Chai Shao's face suddenly became very ugly, they just thought that he was ashamed of misunderstanding Chen Liang. Li Shimin comforted Chai Shao and said, "Sichang, you have this inference, it is human nature, and you can't blame you completely!" Then he said to Zhang Lang: "Sichang's words just now are just about matters. Brother Chen must not take them to heart immediately!" Zhang Lang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I didn't take them to heart! It is normal for Mr. Chai to have this suspicion. If I were Mr. Chai, I would probably have such suspicion!" Seeing that Zhang Lang didn't mind, Li Shimin showed admiration and nodded with a smile.

Zhang Lang said: "After listening to Mr. Xu's narration just now, I felt that the assassination of the prince was a bit unusual." Seeing that he seemed to have discovered something, Li Shimin hurriedly asked: "Brother Chen, what did you find?"

Zhang Lang clasped his fists and said, "We all know that this matter could never be done by His Highness Qin. So who would be the one who did this? Who has such strength? If the prince is really assassinated, it might be another matter, but the prince is safe and sound! In this way, who is the biggest beneficiary?" Li Shimin and Xu Maogong looked at each other, and at the same time, Li Shimin frowned and nodded, "I understand what Brother Chen means! Yes, this possibility is very great! This is really a trick to kill two birds with one stone!"
