Chapter Sixty-Nine: Kyoto's Strange Clouds
Shangjing, Wenfu.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Wen Chengcheng was grounded by his father Wen Yuan. The current Wencheng was forced by his father to recite scriptures and read scriptures at home every day, and he was also very depressed, and he had no freedom at all.
He also thought about sneaking out quietly, but when he saw that his brother of the same clan was being carried back, he dispelled this thought, and stayed at home honestly, coped with his father's inspection, and was less crooked.
"How's your homework done today?" Just as Wen Cheng was distracted, Wen Yuan walked in from outside the door.
"How did you memorize the fifth chapter of the fourth volume of the Sutra?"
"Dad, it's still ...... Still reciting. Wen Cheng looked at the ring ruler in his father's hand and said weakly.
Wen Yuan walked next to Wen Cheng, looked at it, and then said: "Well, after dinner, I'll smoke some, my back is not good, you have to bear it." ”
"Well, the child must memorize it carefully. Wen Cheng replied respectfully.
His father has always been very strict and harsh in his studies, and he doesn't dare to be a little sloppy.
Wen Yuan looked at Wen Cheng, sighed, and said: "You are not too young, it's time to think about the family, when your father and I were as old as you, we had already begun to gain fame, you look at you again, day by day, you are still wandering around." Eh, your mother went early, and I didn't have much time to take care of you. But lately, you've been staying at home honestly and not hanging out so that you don't get out into trouble. ”
Wen Cheng was a little puzzled by his father's words.
"Dad, I've been out and about until I'm so big, when have you ever caused trouble at home, I think you're too worried, Dad. ”
Wen Yuan shook his head.
"You, eh. It's just that I see that my Wen family is prominent, why can't I see the danger lurking behind, if I don't do things with my brain, I won't know if I will be used as a gunman when the time comes. ”
Wen Cheng was a little unconvinced, feeling that what Wen Yuan said was a little unreasonable, he thought that he still knew how to prioritize. It's just that when he saw Wen Yuan's cold face, he swallowed the words to his lips again. Thinking about it, it is better not to raise the bar with him, so as not to be scolded again.
Wen Yuan didn't know what Wen Cheng was thinking, but he felt that this child had never grown up. Regardless of what Wen Cheng wanted to say, he walked out of the door with his hands behind his back.
Looking at the back of Wen Yuan's departure, Wen Cheng had mixed feelings in his heart, he had no mother since he was a child, and his father was often not around, he lacked discipline since he was a child, but he was also sensible, although he looked like a gentleman on the surface, but he never caused trouble at home.
Listening to his father's words in the clouds today, there is always a feeling that the wind and rain are coming, and he feels that he should listen to the old man more, so as not to have a real problem when he gets it.
Wen Cheng shook his head and shook off these thoughts.
"It's imperative to deal with my father's spot check as soon as possible. ”
......
Han Ming withstood the pain from the peripheral nerves and tried to stand up, even if he died, he had to die standing up.
But at this time, the mutation protruded, and the killer holding the dark arrow was pierced through the head by a knife.
Before everyone could react, they saw a person holding a long sword, rushing into the pile of killers, stabbing left and right, as if entering a no-man's land.
The group of killers apparently didn't anticipate this either, and retreated as they fought.
"Whew...... Woohoo!"
The few people who were still retreating were shot by sharp arrows from nowhere.
Immediately afterwards, a group of officers and soldiers came out from a distance, and the sharp arrows just now were fired by this group of officers and soldiers.
One of the killers saw this situation and knew something was wrong, and secretly shouted.
"The wind is tight, withdraw. ”
As soon as the few remaining killers heard the order, they did not hesitate, raised the short knife in their hands and made up for the companion who was still dying. Decisive shot, no nostalgia at all.
Han Ming looked at the movements of this group of people, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart. Unexpectedly, the teammates who were still fighting side by side just now stretched out their butcher knives to each other in an instant, which was really inhumane.
But Han Ming's current situation is not very good, he supported his body with a knife, half kneeling on the ground, just now he fought with the killer for a while, his physical strength was too much to lose, and then he was hit by a few arrows, and now it is the end of the strong crossbow, if someone didn't come to save him, I'm afraid he would die on the spot today.
Speaking of the arrival, Han Ming fixed his eyes and looked at it, coincidentally, Han Ming, the person who rushed into the killer pile, happened to know.
Liang Feng was holding a long sword at the moment, he was majestic just now, after hearing the shouts of the officers and soldiers, he didn't pay attention to these killers who fled in the wilderness, and walked straight to Han Ming's side and helped Han Ming up.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're a friend of Wencheng. Liang Feng looked at Han Ming and asked.
Han Ming looked at Liang Feng and smiled.
"We've seen it at the auction house in Jubao Zhai, cough...... Cough...... Thank you Brother Liang for your help. ”
"I also happened to be passing by, and I never expected that someone would dare to commit murder on the streets of the capital. ”
Liang Feng saw that Han Ming was injured in many places, and hurriedly shouted to the officers and soldiers: "Come here, your commander has been assassinated." ”
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion also caught up, led by a centurion under Xu Hua, as soon as he saw Han Ming, he took three steps and made two steps.
"Your Excellency, Lord Archon, ...... Come on, take the commander to the infirmary. If the subordinates are late, let the commander put the adult in danger, please punish the commander. ”
"Send someone to catch those killers, don't let one go, remember, try to catch them alive. Han Ming didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, and directly ordered this centurion to lead people to chase down that group of killers.
"The subordinates have orders. ”
After saying that, the centurion commanded the patrol officers and soldiers: "A few of you protect the commander, carry the commander to the medical hall, and then send someone to tell General Xu, and the rest will follow me." ”
As soon as the patrol officers and soldiers received the order, they chased in the direction of the killer's escape.
Han Ming breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the officers and soldiers chase them out, and a sense of tiredness welled up in his heart. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly saw a figure in gorgeous clothes at the corner of the alley.
This figure was just a flash, but vaguely Han Ming still imprinted that face, that luxurious velvet suit in his mind.
And this person, Han Ming just had the impression that he was the noble child who had a conflict with him in Jubaozhai, Kuang Zhi.
Kuang Zhi appeared in this place inexplicably, there must be something wrong, and Han Ming even had a hunch that this assassination had nothing to do with him.
It's just that he can't think about it too much, and the whole person has already fainted.
The news of Han Ming's assassination spread quickly, and as soon as the news spread, the capital was in turmoil.
When people heard that the commander of the castle defense battalion in charge of the garrison of Kyoto could be assassinated in the street, they were a little incredulous.
Some people are afraid that they will follow in Han Ming's footsteps, they don't have the strength to protect themselves as strong as Han Ming, and for a while, people are panicked.
When Kuang Hua heard the news, he was immediately furious. In the land of the capital, under the power of heaven, the commander of the city defense battalion he personally gave and the dignified general of the Kyoto garrison was assassinated on the street.
Some people don't take him as an emperor in the slightest, and if this matter is not handled properly, something may happen in the future.
Thinking of this, Kuang Hua ordered the Kyoto Imperial Governor's Mansion and the City Defense Battalion to investigate the root cause, strictly investigate and interrogate, and inevitably arrest the killer and bring him to justice.
Han Ming took medicine in the infirmary, did some bandaging, and woke up from a coma, but the whole person was still groggy, as if there was a lead block in his brain.
When she was carried back to the courtyard by a group of soldiers, Ye Die was startled, When she saw Han Ming's appearance, her eyes were slightly red, and tears were about to burst out of her eyes.
Han Ming smiled and took her hand.
"Don't cry, I'm not dead, it's not good for you to cry. ”
Ye Die endured her grief and sent Han Ming to the room.
The night girl also rushed over, and when she saw Han Ming's appearance, she immediately stepped forward.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's just a little assassination. ”
At this moment, Yeya'er and Pingping were simply two people, and when they heard that Han Ming had been assassinated, they were immediately furious.
"Who is it? Tell me, I'll avenge you. Speaking of which, the battle spirit on the night girl has begun to boil.
Han Ming was a little helpless, if he knew who it was, he didn't need to do it at night, the opponent would have died a long time ago and couldn't die anymore.
Ye Die should have seen Han Ming's tiredness, so she didn't continue to disturb him, tucked the corner of Han Ming's quilt, and pulled the night girl out of the room.
Han Ming looked at Ye Die's movements, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling. When Ye Die tucked the quilt for him, it was like his mother tucking the quilt for him when he was a child, warm and quiet.
However, Ye Die's feeling for him is not his mother's, but the throbbing of his heart, just like his first love.
This time, it was the first time since Han Ming came to this world that he slept so soundly, feeling that he was in a dream, surrounded by fragrance.
