Chapter 47: The Hunt
The sound he had just heard was made by the masked man when he fell to the ground, and he happened to be outside the door, so if there were other people in the room, he could see it when he kicked the door in, but the doors and windows were closed, and there was no sign of anyone going out. Looking around, he saw a small hole in the window, he walked to the masked man and crouched down, searched his body for a while, and finally found a small bamboo tube from his clothes, he stood up and took the small bamboo tube and imprinted it on the small hole in the window, and found that it was just the same.
To be sure, the masked man used the smoke to stun the lady and the child, and finally died here for some reason! There was no one else in the room now, except for the dead killer, the room was quiet. If someone had killed the masked man silently, he would not have escaped through the window the moment he entered. In this world, there are few masters who can do this, and in addition to him, those few people are also far away in foreign countries.
But it is not ruled out that they have already infiltrated the mansion. However, it is impossible to say that a killer from another country sneaked into the Imperial General's Mansion to kill a child, and if they want to kill Nian'er, they can probably wait until he comes back, and there is no need to wait for the Hundred Days Banquet.
Could it be that they came for Manman? Manman's origin is extraordinary, and he has always known this, so the top and bottom of the house have also been rearranged, and the number of people who are secretly protecting has also increased by several people. But it happened anyway, and none of the people who were secretly protecting them found out.
This matter is a bit complicated, he has no clue, maybe they are really coming for Manman, if they are really coming for Manman, then they will definitely find another opportunity to start, no, she must send Manman away to keep her safe, and the sooner she sends it away, the better!
Thinking of this, he bent down and picked up Manman, looked at the lady who was still asleep, he held the child in one hand, and took a pen and paper in the other hand to quickly leave a book, Mrs. liked Manman very much, if she woke up and didn't see Manman, she would be in a hurry, so before leaving, he had to tell her all the reasons for the matter in the form of letters. Soon, a letter was written, and he pressed it under the candlestick, and then disappeared into the dark night with a few long ups and downs.
The next day, a major event happened in the capital of the imperial country, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, Miss Shu Fu was killed, the general's wife was hit and bedridden, the general was furious, and sent all the guards to track down the murderer, this matter spread quickly, even the lord of the imperial country also knew, General Shu is very important to the imperial country, such a thing happened, the lord of the country was naturally very angry, he sent the palace Praetorian Guard, for General Shu to send at will. It can be seen how much the lord of the imperial country attaches great importance to General Shu, and this matter once again shocked the entire national capital.
On the surface, Shu Mansion is very valued by the lord, but on the other hand, it pushes Shu Mansion to the top of the dark tide. Officials check and balance each other, and General Shu's high achievements have naturally become the object of envy and envy of many people. Those people will definitely use all means in order to pull Shu Fu off the horse. The imperial court has always been like this, the dark tide is surging, attacking each other and restraining each other, you and I who are poor in ability are slowly falling, and those who are strong are continued to be entangled by another stronger force. This kind of thing has always been common, and it can be said that it is an open secret at all, as long as it is not brought to the table and it is not too damaging to the interests of the people and the royal family, this matter will always be carried out in the dark.
Shufu became the focus of discussion among the people of the national capital for a while, but the murderer was never caught. No matter how important the matter is, it will slowly calm down under the passage of time, this matter will slowly be forgotten, and the national capital will slowly return to its former liveliness.
In the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed. This matter has long been forgotten. And the Shu Mansion still stands in the most prosperous position in the national capital. Shu Nianli, the son of Shu Mansion, has grown up, he has a good demeanor and outstanding ability, and has become the only candidate for the heir to the mantle of General Shu.
In recent years, the countries have been relatively peaceful, and there have been no major wars, and the imperial country has been cultivating and recuperating, and it has become more and more prosperous in the past 18 years.
There is a deep mountain in the country, this is the largest deep forest in the country, the deep forest is very large, and there are many natural beasts. In addition to the place where the royal circle was dropped, other places naturally became a good place for the common people to hunt.
This year's hunting location remains the same as before, but this hunt is for the prey, and the royal hunting grounds are hunting every year, and the prey is getting less and less, and this year's hunting country has changed to shooting birds. This bird is difficult to shoot, which adds a lot of difficulty to this hunt. But this is the order of the lord of the country, and no one dares to disagree.
There are two more nobles in this year's hunting, namely Wei Lie, the prince of Huaguo, and Qiu Yun, the proton of Shangxia. Adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence, this hunt is also among them. In fact, many people know that these two people came to Yuguo to go on a blind date. The lord of the kingdom has several princesses, who are just at the age of marriage, but the lord of the kingdom does not want his daughter to marry far away and deliberately delays it, resulting in these two people living in the royal country for two or three months and not even seeing the faces of several princesses.
But because of the shame of face, Wei Lie and Qiu Yun, who originally didn't plan to really marry Yuguo, lived in Yuguo according to their patience. Because it is a foreign guest, the people in the palace are waiting for it.
The hunt soon began, and the prince and prince proton rode into the forest on tall horses. Of course, such an occasion is indispensable for Shu Nianli, everyone galloped on horseback, but he rode slowly towards the forest. He really didn't have any interest in such a boring hunt, but he thought that this place was not far from the place where he lived, so he came to the hunting ground with a different purpose from everyone else.
In the past few years, he has not been less in this hunting ground, he is lazy and slow every time, but his prey is the most and the best every time. With his arrogant temperament, he didn't give the royal children any face.
This hunt is once a year, and he takes the first place every year, and he has no interest in hunting. This royal hunting ground can be said so clearly in his mind that he can even remember which tree is and where it is, this memory is so troublesome, you can't forget it if you want to. The horses walked leisurely into the woods. The sun is very good, and I don't know what that girl is doing today. Anyway, there's nothing fun in this hunting, since you're here, it's better to go to Manman there to have a look, maybe you'll be lucky today, and you'll be able to study new tricks and make new pastries.
The girl was a little stupid, but she cooked well and cooked deliciously. Looking at the dappled sunlight shining overhead, Shu Nianli patted the horse's back with one hand, and then several people disappeared into the hunting ground.
The general's father said that his mission to come to the hunting ground every year is to watch the manman and not let her break into the hunting ground.
