The next morning, when Yu Wenming and the four guards left the house again and were about to go to practice martial arts, they were shocked to find that a middle-aged officer with fair skin and a tall figure appeared in front of him. He sat on a white horse and looked at him with a smile.

"Ahh Master! ”

Yu Wenming was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and eagerly stepped forward and saluted, "Master, when will you come back?" I heard from my grandfather that you have to deal with the new garrison of Igo County, and you won't be back until later! ”

Li Jing nodded and said kindly, "Hmm...... The Western Turks will not sit idly by and watch our Great Sui and set up counties under their noses. They've been eyeing it all the time. However, their temperament was also too anxious, and as soon as they saw that the Holy Lord led the main force to withdraw, they immediately attacked. As a result, in the Hami Basin west of Yiwu, he was ambushed by me and was defeated, and the Datou Khan of the Western Turks was wounded by arrows, and it is estimated that he will not want to recover in half a year. Therefore, seeing that the threat of the Western Turks had been temporarily eliminated, I handed over the military affairs with the new Yiwu County Guard, and came back ahead of schedule! ”

"Great!" Yu Wenming was overjoyed, and now he could ask his master about the incomprehension in his cultivation and sword practice for more than half a year.

"Get on the horse! Today I'm ready to take a look at your martial arts progress since I'm gone! Li Jing pointed to the horse he was sitting on.

Yu Wenming immediately rolled over on the master's horse. At this time, the four guards hurriedly said, "Little boy, please wait for us to go back to the corridor and lead the horse out......"

Since Yu Wenming walked to the martial arts training site. So they were too embarrassed to ride with them, so they always followed on foot. But now that Li Jing is here, Yu Wenming is going to ride a horse, so they naturally can't keep up.

"No need! I also heard about Ming'er's assassination. You can rest assured, with me, no one can hurt Ming'er! Li Jing waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone.

The four guards also knew Li Jing and knew that it was the little master they were protecting. After they glanced at each other, they all turned their eyes to Yu Wenming, intending to listen to his orders.

"Go back, all of you! If grandpa asks, I'll take care of it for you! I don't blame you for your dereliction of duty! Yu Wenming also smiled.

The four guards breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed in unison: "That son, please be careful all the way!" ”

At this time, Li Jing waved his horsewhip and slapped it heavily on the horse's buttocks, and the white war horse immediately galloped like a fly, and soon disappeared at the end of the street......

……

In the early autumn fields, there are harvest scenes everywhere along the way, the golden wheat fields have almost been harvested, the fields are full of haystacks, and the ox carts full of rice can be seen walking slowly on both sides of the official road.

Although it was the middle of September, the autumn tigers were still strong, and before noon, the sun was already steaming on the ground, but fortunately they were in a valley mouth with strong winds.

However, Rao is like this, and Yu Wenming is also sweating profusely.

"Not bad! Not bad! It's much faster than I imagined, especially since you've only been cultivating for a year and a half, and you've already reached the completion of the quenching stage. This is faster than the speed I had back then, according to the teacher: before the Chinese New Year, it is very likely that you will break through to the bone forging period! Li Jing stroked his long beard under his chin and said with great satisfaction.

Yu Wenming was overjoyed, and he was able to be recognized by Li Jing, which made him very happy.

"It's noon now, and you're tired from drilling, so let's take a break, eat lunch, and then I'll teach you to practice archery in the afternoon!" Li Jing said that, smiled and took out the dry food from the bag on the horse's back, and then distributed it to Yu Wenming.

Yu Wenming hurriedly thanked the master, and after taking the dry food, he devoured it, he was already hungry.

At this time, Li Jingfang chewed the dry food and said in a solemn voice: "Ming'er, in fact, I came back as early as the first day of your assassination, but after I heard the details from the familiar Luoyang County officials, I did not go to visit you immediately, but went to the place where the incident occurred. ”

"Ahh After Yu Wenming heard this, he was also taken aback.

"I'm afraid that if time is delayed for a long time, many traces will be destroyed." After Li Jing explained, he continued: "After I went to the scene to check it, I found two lines of horseshoe prints, which should have been ridden by the murderer. Although these two lines of horses' hoof prints gradually disappeared on the official road. But I followed it all the way based on the tracks on the road and the description of the owner of the roadside stall. ”

Li Jing said expressionlessly at this time: "In the end, what do you guess the result I found out?" Those two finally entered the west gate of the eastern capital! ”

Yu Wenming didn't ask, although he was a little surprised by this result, but he also felt that it was expected.

"After I asked the guards at the city gate at that time, according to them, two young men dressed in black rode back to the city, and they also painted a ......picture of their appearances" Li Jing said with a stern face at this time: "So, you have to be vigilant, the people who want to harm you may see that it will not work to hurt you." Other covert tactics will be used! ”

"Master, those two young people should be from our Yuwen family, right? I think one of them should be Yu Wencheng, I don't know right? Yu Wenming suddenly came up with such a sentence unexpectedly.

"Huh? Ming'er, how do you know? Li Jing was also very surprised.

"Hehe, Master, do you have any familiarity with the professional catchers and servants who are investigating and handling cases?" Yu Wenming did not immediately answer Li Jing's words, but asked rhetorically.

"Although I also have some experience in inspecting the scene, it mainly relies on the experience I accumulated when I was a scout in the army. If I really want to investigate the scene of the case, I might as well be a special case-handling arrester and a servant! Li Jing honestly admitted it.

Yu Wenming smiled at this time: "So! I think Master can think of checking the traces through the horseshoe prints and tracking down the whereabouts of the culprit. Luoyang County's case handling is unexpected? But when Li Mi, the commander of Luoyang County, came to see me yesterday, he said that the clue was broken, and he couldn't check it anymore, so he could only remind me to be careful......"

"As far as I know, Li Mi is also a very shrewd and capable person, Master, he will not fail to find the clues you have discovered, and if he can solve this case as soon as possible, he can greatly please his father and ancestors, and he has created political achievements and reputation. For him, there is no harm. But why did he give up halfway, and would rather bear the notoriety of incompetence than pursue it to the end. There was only one possibility: the culprit was someone he couldn't even mention. If it is exposed, it will not only be not good for him, but harmful to him! Yu Wenming said eloquently.

Li Jing looked at Yu Wenming like a monster at this time, he never expected that Yu Wenming was only thirteen years old, and he could think of so much. Many of these joints, he didn't figure it out until this morning. is even worried that Yu Wenming is young and impulsive, and he does not dare to fully tell the truth.

But now it seems that Yu Wenming is even more thorough than he thought.

"Ming'er, you keep talking!" Li Jing felt that he had really underestimated the mind and maturity of the apprentice.

Yu Wenming was encouraged, and his heart was relieved, and then he continued: "I think that the person who wants to harm me must also be the person who has a conflict with me. Although I offended many people at the poetry competition that day, I was not able to make others take such a big risk to harm me. In addition, outside of the Yuwen family, I have only offended Chai Shao. But now this guy is not in Luoyang, and even if he is in Luoyang, he will not show his prestige in front of the eldest grandson Wujian, and it is almost ...... to replace Li Xiuning."

After that, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Therefore, the culprit can only be someone from my Yuwen family." And Wujian often complained to me, saying that Yuwencheng often showed great hospitality to her, although she didn't express her clearly, but that look was wrong...... In addition, in the past year or so, I have been in the limelight, and he has always looked down on the concubines in his family...... Thinking of Li Mi, he didn't dare to announce the suspect. Under several confirmations, who else would the culprit be if he wasn't him? ”

When Li Jing heard this, he also nodded again and again. If the real culprit behind the scenes is Yu Wencheng, then Li Mi really doesn't dare to pursue it anymore. This thing is the ugliness of the Yuwen family! The brothers in the house fought for women to the point of plotting with knives. After poking it out, instead of pleasing Yu Wenshu, it will greatly offend the red man in front of the emperor.

Besides, although Yu Wenming is in the limelight now, he is only a concubine after all, and it is difficult to say whether he can inherit the position of the head of the family in the future.

And although Yuwen Cheng has a bad character, he is the sister-in-law of Yuwen's family, and his mother is Princess Nanyang, the daughter of the current saint, and the grandson of the emperor.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, Li Mi's best choice must be to express that he is incompetent, because the only green cat who knows the inside story has been killed and can't be investigated.

"Ming'er, since you already know the inside story, Master won't say more. The struggle within the big family has always been so cruel. It's just that Yu Wencheng's mother is Princess Nanyang, he is the grandson of the saint and the son-in-law. So, you have to be very careful with this person! Don't let him get the handle. Li Jing could only say helplessly at this time.

"Thank you Master for your concern, the apprentice will definitely pay attention!" Yu Wenming also bowed his head. But there was a flash of anger in his eyes, he didn't want to suffer a loss like this, how could he take revenge on Yu Wencheng.
