177. Forced into the pit
Seeing the man who suddenly appeared in the small courtyard, the assassins were also stunned. When they came back to assassinate Nangong Mo, they naturally planned and prepared in advance. Now that Wei Shizi is not here, most of the people in Zixiao Hall have not yet rushed back to Jinling, and there are not many guards in Yanwangfu's mansion to protect Princess Changping, which is the best time to do it. Even Lin Changfeng and the others specially arranged for someone to stop them, so as not to be ruined. Who knew that it was so cautious that someone would run out to stir up the situation.
Jin Hao leaned against the pillar under the eaves with his chest crossed, lazily looked at the black-clothed assassin in the courtyard, and sneered disdainfully: "Xiao Qianye is really getting more and more low-level, and he can even play this kind of assassination trick." ”
"Presumptuous!?" Before the words fell, the leader of the assassins knew that it was not good, and hurriedly stopped, his face hidden under the black scarf was a little ugly, and he could only wait viciously for Jin Hao to ask, "Who is Your Excellency?" If it has nothing to do with Nangong Mo, you'd better not meddle in things. ”
Jin Hao said lazily: "Didn't you hear it just now?" It was Wei Junmo who told me to protect his daughter-in-law, who do you say I am? ”
Standing on the side, Nangong Mo smiled faintly: "Is it really the palace guard?" If you are a person in the rivers and lakes, how can you not know the master of Jin Zhai? Of course, it is impossible for everyone in the rivers and lakes to know Jin Hao, but those who dare to assassinate in the Jinling Imperial City will definitely not be ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, even if they have not seen it, they should have heard of Jin Hao's name.
Now that his identity has been revealed, it will seem even more stupid to hold on. Snorted coldly, the leading assassin said coldly, "Since that's the case, don't blame us for being ruthless." Kill together! ”
"Don't be ashamed!" Jin Hao's face turned pale and sneered. With his backhand, he drew the long sword beside him and pounced mercilessly towards the man in black. Seeing him do it, Nangong Mo was of course not polite, the silver light in his hand flashed, and his figure shuttled through the black-clothed world like a ghost. Those who were close to her couldn't afford it. The assassins also apparently saw Nangong Mo's outstretched hand and ruthlessness in close combat, and they distanced themselves from her. It's a pity that once they distance themselves, what awaits them is Nangong Mo's silver needle. This time, Nangong Mo showed no mercy, and a wide range of poisonous smoke was easy to be injured by mistake, but the silver needle hidden weapon smeared with poison was extremely convenient to use.
"The Lord of Star City is good at kung fu." During the fight, Jin Hao didn't forget to spare his energy to pay attention to Nangong Mo next to him. When she was in Lingzhou, she knew that Nangong Mo's skills were quite good, but at this time, Jin Hao found that Nangong Mo's martial arts were not only good, even the vast majority of masters in the rivers and lakes were not her opponents. If it weren't for Nangong Mo's young age, Jin Hao would have doubted whether he was her opponent after all. But thinking about another Wei Junmo, who was younger than him in martial arts but a lot higher than himself, the master of Jin Zhai suddenly felt balanced. Geniuses are really all piled up.
Nangong Mo smiled back, the broken blade in his hand cut the throat of an assassin without hesitation, and said with a faint smile: "Lord Jin Zhai has won the award, I am still far away." ”
Jin Hao shrugged, such martial arts are still far behind, do the men in this world want to live.
Seeing the two fighting, they also chatted at the same time. The Assassins couldn't help but burn with rage, and their moves became more and more aggressive.
Naturally, such a big movement in the small courtyard would not be heard outside, and after a while of the fight here, the lights of Princess Changping's courtyard of Dongyuan were lit up. After a while, there was a commotion outside. Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the black-clothed assassin had no choice but to whist and lead the people towards the outside of the mansion quickly. Nangong Mo and Jin Hao didn't chase anymore, just calmly watched them disappear into the dark night.
"Flawless ......" Princess Changping wore a thick cloak and hurried over with the support of the girl, followed by the guards in the palace of King Yan. In order to protect the safety of Princess Changping, Nangong Mo transferred most of the guards of the Yan Palace's Mansion to Dongyuan, and instructed them to put Princess Changping's safety first no matter what happened.
Could it be that there was a dead corpse lying on the ground, and Princess Changping's face turned pale again, "Flawless, you are not injured, right?" ”
Nangong Mo hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Princess Changping and said, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
Princess Changping was anxious and frightened, "There is such a big commotion here, how can I not come?" Are you hurt? Where are the guards in the house?"
Nangong Mo helped Princess Changping to walk inside, and while signaling the guards to dispose of the corpses in the courtyard, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a few little thieves who don't have long eyes." Mother, it's cold outside, so let's go inside. The three of them entered the hall and sat down, and Princess Changping glanced at Jin Hao and said, "You don't want to fool the palace, can this situation be a little thief?" Which little thief dares to run to the Yanwang Mansion to spread wild? Also, why don't you have guards in this yard? Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "Where are the ordinary guards who are the opponents of those people, they are probably stunned." ”
It's not that there are no guards in her courtyard, but there aren't many. Liu was also sent out by her to do things with this Lin Changfeng, after all, there are many things in the secret that she still can't do in person now. However, Nangong Mo didn't expect that Xiao Qianye would do something stupid to send an assassin to assassinate her. It seems that he is really afraid that Xiao Chun's killing of the first emperor and the crown prince will be exposed. It's good now, the murderer is not in a hurry, Xiao Qianye, a person who has nothing to do with the original, is in a hurry, hasn't he thought that such an act is tantamount to being a thief? If the matter is exposed in the future, and it is rumored that he sent someone to assassinate her, who is an insider, who will believe that he is innocent?
Princess Changping was silent for a long time before asking, "Yes... A thousand nights? ”
Although she is not too smart, there are not many people in Jinling City who want to kill Nangong Mo now. Xiao Chun is insidious and cunning, and if he is not ten percent sure that he will not do this kind of thing, then there will only be one Xiao Qianye left.
Nangong Mo said softly: "Mother doesn't have to worry about these things. You can rest assured that they won't come back today. ”
Princess Changping sighed and said in a low voice, "I have wronged you." The... Be? Princess Changping looked at Jin Hao and asked with some curiosity. Nangong Mo will let this person be here, naturally he should be his own person. Princess Changping didn't know that the reason why Nangong Mo let Jin Hao be here was because he had really helped him just now, and because he knew the true identity of the assassin. As for their own people, they are still far behind.
Nangong Mo said: "This is... The Jin Zhai master of Fuwang Mountain was invited by Jun Mo to come over to help. ”
Princess Changping was stunned, looked at Jin Hao and nodded slightly. Nangong Mo also knew that Princess Changping didn't know much about the people in the rivers and lakes, and she didn't explain much. Jin Hao raised his sword eyebrows and arched his hand: "I've seen the princess." Princess Changping smiled lightly: "Jin... The owner of the village doesn't have to be polite, thank you very much tonight. Jin Haohun didn't care, "Entrusted by people, loyal to people." ”
Princess Changping also knew that they had something to say, so she stood up and said, "Since it's okay, I'll go back first, and you can rest early, this Jin Zhai master, I'll let the manager arrange the guest room, right?" Nangong Mo got up and said, "I'll send my mother." Princess Changping shook her head and said, "You're also tired, rest, I'll go back by myself." ”
Nangong Mo still sent Princess Changping out, and then turned around and looked at Shang Jin Hao thoughtfully. Nangong Mo smiled indifferently: "What does Lord Jin Zhai have to say?" Jin Hao said with a smile: "Princess Changping is a rare affinity, not like a royal princess at all." The county lord has a good mother-in-law. Nangong Mo couldn't help but smile when he thought of Jin Hao's identity, which must have been extremely unacceptable to the Zhu family. The Zhu family has gained a lot of benefits from relying on Jin Hao over the years, and Nangong Mo naturally doesn't believe that the Zhu family will not know the relationship between Jin Hao and Zhu Chuyu. It's just that he doesn't look down on Jin Hao's identity and pretends not to know.
Jin Hao was displeased, "What does this mean, county lord?" Nangong Mo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, the lord of Jin Zhai and the lord of Shanjia County will definitely be able to have lovers who will eventually become married, and I would like to thank the lord of Jin Zhai for helping tonight." ”
Jin Hao snorted lightly, just remembering that Zhu Chuyu's dark color was a little gloomy. He promised Wei Junmo to protect Nangong Mo for Zhu Chuyu, but after these days, Jin Hao was a little skeptical about whether he and Zhu Chuyu were really suitable, after Zhu Chuyu said those heartless words, did he really want to continue to entangle with her? And Zhu Chuyu... Is it really worth making a comeback like this?
Looking up at Nangong Mo, who was sitting not far away and drinking tea leisurely, he was calm and calm, not at all like he had just experienced an assassination. Jin Hao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and at the same time, he also understood why Gong Yuchen always wanted to go against Wei Junmo, just because Wei Junmo married such a wife, it was enough to make most men in the world jealous. Moreover, this wife was not asked for by himself, but was given by the emperor, so don't be too lucky.
Just looking at the change in the expression on Jin Hao's face, Nangong Mo could probably guess what he was thinking. No one can say for sure. Jin Hao is naturally not a good person, but after intersecting a few times, Nangong Mo still admires his brightness. No matter what kind of woman such a man falls in love with, he will definitely be very happy, but it's a pity that Jin Hao is next to a woman who needs love the least.
"The lord of Jin Zhai came this time, and he has seen the county lord of Shanjia?" Nangong Mo asked.
Jin Hao's face was a little dark, and he glared at Nangong Mo and said, "What do you want to say?" Nangong Mo pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and said, "Master Jin Zhai misunderstood, I just wanted to say... If the county lord of Shanjia knew that the lord of Jin Zhai was here, he might have misunderstood. I'm afraid that the feelings for the two of them are... Some are not good. Jin Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you know that we had a falling out?" Affection... Did we really have feelings for each other? Jin Hao muttered to himself a little gloomily.
Nangong Mo sighed softly, "However, Lord Jin Zhai seems to have no feelings. Although I have a shallow relationship with the owner of the village, I should not have a shallow relationship, but I still have to say a word, so as not to regret it in the future. She doesn't want to be a stumbling block to other people's feelings, whether friends or foes.
Jin Hao was silent for a long time, and then said lightly: "I entered Beijing this time to do the last thing for her. Later... Let's cherish each other. "On the condition of protecting Nangong Mo, Wei Junmo will let Zhu Chuyu go once in the future. Although he didn't know why, Jin Hao just felt that one day Zhu Chuyu would be planted in the hands of these two people.
Nangong Mo looked at Jin Hao with a clear understanding and didn't say anything more. Jin Hao said this, but I was afraid that I didn't want to see if there was room for redemption. It's just that Nangong Mo knows better in his heart that Zhu Chuyu will only disappoint him more and more, and they are not all the way in the first place.
Jin Hao was obviously unwilling to talk about his feelings with others, so he snorted impatiently and said, "You really don't plan to leave Jinling?" Even the emperor who is about to ascend the throne wants to kill you, can you still mix in this Jinling City? Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "The more extraordinary your identity is, the more you have to think twice about what you want to do." Believe me, Xiao Qianye will definitely seriously consider killing me if he wants to kill me after today. "When you become an emperor, you can't kill whoever you want, on the contrary, an emperor who has not yet secured the throne needs to be careful everywhere. If you really want to kill at will, you also need character and courage, and Xiao Qianye obviously doesn't have such an iron-blooded character.
Jin Hao said: "Even if he is not afraid of assassination, he can trouble you at any time." ”
Nangong Mo said: "There are more people who want to trouble him now." ”
"In a word, you're not leaving?" Jin Hao said a little irritablely, he promised Wei Junmo to protect Nangong Mo, in case something happened, who knows if Wei Junmo's snake spirit disease will be angry with him? On the contrary, he is the least adept at the struggle between these imperial nobles.
Nangong Mo nodded seriously, "Where can I go?" "She has no interest in being a wanted criminal at all, really except for Jinling City, Xiao Qianye and Xiao Chuncai can send people to hunt her down, and then life will definitely be exciting and exciting.
Jin Hao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, the master of this village will deign to be your guard for a period of time." I hope you won't play with your life before Wei Junmo comes back. ”
Nangong Mo smiled and said, "Then thank you to the owner of the village." "Some people don't have to be fools, let alone a master like Jin Hao.
It is not a trivial matter for an assassin to break into the Yanwang Mansion, after all, it is not an easy thing for seven or eight corpses to be disposed of unknowingly. Of course, Nangong Mo didn't plan to deal with it quietly, Xiao Qianye dared to send someone to assassinate her, if she just forgot it silently, Xiao Qianye thought she liked to swallow her anger.
Early in the morning, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Yin He Wenli of Yingtianfu entered the Yanwang Mansion. Looking at the neat row of corpses placed in the garden of Yanwangfu, the faces of several people suddenly turned green. At the foot of the Emperor of Heaven in the dignified Jinling Imperial City, and it is also the mansion of the vassal king, the place where the eldest princess temporarily lives will be broken in by assassins, which is simply a slap in the face of those who guard the security of the capital.
The commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he glanced at Nangong Mo, who was standing next to him, and Princess Changping, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and glanced at He Wenli who was squatting on the ground next to him to inspect the corpse. Although he is a military general, the civil officials of the Great Xia Dynasty have always been more fierce than military generals. He also hoped that He Wenli would carry forward the spirit of civil officials who were not afraid of death and stood in the way.
He Wenli clapped his hands and stood up, sighing but not saying anything. The commander was helpless, so he had to cough lightly and said, "Lord He, what can you see?" ”
He Wenli spread his hands, "Commander Xia made this statement bad, and this official is not a pretend, what can you see?" ”
Then why did you squat on the ground and look at it for a long time and sigh again and again, what the hell are you doing?!
He Wenli said: "This official is just amazed, there are people who dare to act so boldly at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lord Xia, now that it is the period of national mourning, if you are too busy with the soldiers and horses of the five cities, you can ask the Jingwei Battalion to help, otherwise, the official Ying Tianfu's officials can also send a few more to help patrol?" "Since ancient times, civil officials and military generals have been sworn enemies, and when they meet, they will pinch first.
"Thank you Lord He for the reminder!" Commander Xia gritted his teeth.
"You're welcome." He Wenli said with a smile.
"What do you two see?" Next to him, Nangong Mo asked lightly.
The smile on He Wenli's face was closed, and he waved respectfully towards Nangong Mo, and said, "Lord Qiyu, the following officials have only seen... These assassins are only afraid of... It's not a man of the rivers and lakes. Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What do you think? He Wenli frowned and said: "The cocoons on the palms of these assassins are almost all in the same position, obviously due to the practice of the same weapons, and even the amount of martial arts training may be the same." This is very different from the habits of people in the rivers and lakes, but it is like ...... "people in the rivers and lakes, even the ability of well-trained killers to organize weapons is completely different." In this way, the clothing and weapons are even completely standardized, but they are more like people in the army, or the government soldiers and secret guards of the powerful in the DPRK and China.
Thinking of this, He Wenli glanced at Nangong Mo with some grievances. If that's the case, it's a big deal.
Commander Xia next to him was even more depressed, glaring angrily at He Wenli and almost bulging his eyes. Didn't you say you didn't see anything?!
Nangong Mo's face was indifferent, but he sneered in his heart. She also felt that Xiao Qianye didn't find a professional Jianghu killer so quickly.
He Wenli sighed, walked to Nangong Mo's side and asked in a low voice, "What clues does the county lord have?" ”
Nangong Mo smiled faintly: "If there is a clue, why should I invite the two adults over?" Now that the son is not at home, there are only two weak women left in the house, my mother and me, and my mother was also scared last night, and I asked Lord He and Commander Xia to give us an explanation. My mother was grieving because of the death of the emperor, and now she was frightened, if something happened... The lord of this county also didn't know how to explain to His Royal Highness King Yan and King Qi. ”
The two of them looked solemn, and before He Wenli could answer, he listened to Commander Xia's envoy: "County Lord, please rest assured, the last general will definitely do his best to catch the murderer and give the princess and the county lord an explanation!" ”
Idiot! He Wenli glanced at the big man next to him angrily, this murderer is obviously not an ordinary person, this idiot can't wait to jump into the pit, the military general is stupid!
"Ho-sama?" Nangong Mo looked at He Wenli with a smile.
He Wenli had a bitter face and arched his hand: "The lower officials must do their best." ”
Nangong Mo smiled faintly: "This county lord believes in the abilities of Lord He and Commander Xia. In this way, the lord of this county will wait for the two good news. ”
"Yes. The last will be retired. ”
Seeing Nangong Mo turn around and walk back into the hall, He Wenli frowned and waved his hand to let all the corpses be carried away. Then the two also turned around and walked outside the house, although the civil and military generals have always looked at each other unpleasantly, but the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division and Ying Tianfu Yin are in charge of the security of the capital, and their responsibilities are quite overlapping far more than the Beijing Guard Battalion, so the two are also very familiar.
"Lord He, what do you think about this case?" Commander Xia asked sternly.
He Wenli sighed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "We're in big trouble." ”
"How?" Commander Xia frowned, "The eldest princess is not an unreasonable person, and she will never be angry with you and me." Don't... Master He already knows who the murderer is? He Wenli shook his head and said in his heart: "Although I don't know who the murderer is, the identity of the murderer is definitely not simple." And... Whoever troubles us first, Bacheng has something to do with the murderer. ”
Seeing him like this, Commander Xia didn't want to ask in detail. In fact, his relationship with He Wenli has never been very good. I had to say: "These assassins are too arrogant, and they don't even pay attention to Wang Fa." The official went back and discussed with a few colleagues the rearrangement of the defense of the capital. "There are a total of five commanders in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, with the same responsibilities, ranks, and powers.
He Wenli waved his hand indifferently to signal him to be casual, and the two were about to part ways when they saw a group of people hurrying towards the gate of Yanwang's mansion. He Wenli raised his eyebrows, "The people in the palace? "What are the people in the palace doing in the Yanwang Mansion at this time? Could it be to appease the eldest princess and the lord of Star City?
"But Commander Xia and Lord He?"
"Exactly, who is this father-in-law?"
The eunuch said sharply: "Your Majesty has a decree, summon the two adults to enter the palace immediately to meet you." ”
"Yes, Wechen obeys." Although they were a little surprised, the two of them still led in unison. It's just that in a place that others can't see, Lord He's originally handsome face has been distorted. If you have to describe it, there are only about two sons on the distorted face - lying and groove!
Lord of Star City, what kind of grudge do I have with you, you want to trap me like this. The Prosperous Doctor
