Tang Ning couldn't hide his disappointment: "So this assassination case is over?" ”

The stall head said respectfully: "The emperor instructed Jinyi Wei that this case must be investigated." ”

Although the stall head said so, Tang Ning didn't explain much, this is just the emperor's statement to the outside world, to investigate Donghai City and even Southern Chu, it will cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and even if it is found out, what will it be?

Could it be that the imperial court would still use troops against Donghai City or Southern Chu for the assassination of a military general? No one thinks it's impossible, he's just a general, even if the prince is assassinated, he won't necessarily move troops because of this.

Although the national strength of Southern Chu is declining, it is blessed by the temple. Even if it is the East China Sea City, which is a mere projectile land, it is prosperous and rich in business, and it is blessed by the Sword Pavilion, and the masters of the Sword Pavilion are famous all over the world, although they cannot resist the army, but they can be assassinated.

Moreover, the Sword Pavilion has always been neutral, so Donghai City has also become a floating existence on the mainland. How could the emperor send troops to the Sword Pavilion because of a mere assassination case?

Forty-eight lives, all for him! However, he couldn't avenge it, and Tang Ning was very indignant and aggrieved. For the first time, I felt such a sense of powerlessness.

Jingli has been peaceful for a long time, and this assassination case has caused a sensation in the entire capital, and now it is rumored that the assassins are all from Donghai City.

Suddenly, the discussion of the entire capital has reached a new level, which has risen to the national level, and there are even more discussions in the teahouse and wine shop, and many people are indignant that the imperial court should send troops to serve the projectile land.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter will end here, and the back is nothing more than a fight between Honglu Temple and Donghai City, and it will eventually come to an end.

And the assassinated commander Tang Ning will probably be appeased by the emperor's decree, and in the end he can only swallow this dumb loss.

Tang Ning also thought so, so he was extremely resentful, but he couldn't do anything. Just when Tang Ning was indignant in the mansion, someone came to deliver a letter, and it was Qiu Ling who asked him to come over.

After hearing this, Tang Ning understood that Qiu Ling must be worried about him, but it was inconvenient to visit him in the house, and it happened that he was indignant in his heart and wanted to find someone to talk to.

Although he understood that Gyeonggi was under martial law and the capital was very safe, Tang Ning still habitually brought a waist knife. Tang Ning was about to leave the house, and the thousand households in charge of his safety immediately waved his hand, and two hundred elite soldiers surrounded him.

Tang Ning said helplessly: "This official just goes out for a walk casually, there is no need to be so sharp, this is not the suburbs of Beijing, this is the capital." ”

Even so, in the end, Qianhu still brought dozens of elite soldiers, and Tang Ning could only accept it helplessly. Although it is a bit eye-catching, but now that the whole capital knows that he was assassinated on the outskirts of Beijing, it is understandable to bring more elite soldiers.

When he arrived at the alley, Tang Ning raised his hand and said, "You guys stay here!" ”

Qianhu hesitated, this alley is very narrow, if these soldiers enter, the entire alley will be impassable. At this time, Tangning's former personal soldiers stepped forward and whispered in Qianhu's ear: "Lord Qianhu, here lives the confidant of Lord Dusi. ”

As soon as he heard that it was the pink confidant of Lord Toji living in the alley, Qianhu wilted, and had to order everyone to be on guard.

Tang Ning came all the way to the small courtyard, pushed open the wooden door, and Qiu Ling was sitting by the well, hearing the movement and turning around.

Qiu Ling walked towards Tang Ning and asked with concern, "I heard that you were assassinated outside Beijing, are you okay?" ”

Tang Ning sighed: "I was only slightly injured, and there was no major problem, but forty-eight brothers died on the spot. ”

"You, injured?" Qiu Ling walked up to Tang Ning and stretched out his hand to reach out to Tang Ning.

Tang Ning smiled bitterly: "It's no big deal! ”

Qiu Ling's hand stretched out to Tang Ning's side suddenly grabbed Tang Ning's arm like lightning. The grasp was so swift that Downing, who had just experienced an assassination, reflexively shrank back.

But Qiu Ling did not retreat but advanced, the jade hand followed like a shadow, Tang Ning was taken aback in his heart, his right palm slapped out heavily, and with a snap, the two of them took a step back together.

Tang Ning's eyes narrowed suddenly, his eyes were full of cold light, he was very shocked in his heart, but he was also very sure that Qiu Ling just reached out not to probe his injuries, but to capture him.

What shocked him even more was that he had just exchanged hands for a short time, but he could be sure that Qiu Ling's skills were not inferior to him.

You must know that he has already entered the realm of the eighth grade, that is to say, the seemingly delicate girl in front of him has actually been the realm of the eighth grade.

Really blind, Tang Ning said coldly: "Eight pins? Who are you? ”

Qiu Ling was surprised: "It turns out that Lord Dusi has also entered the eighth grade!" Although surprised, Qiu Ling did not have any fear, straightened her waist, and rushed towards Tang Ning with a gust of fragrant wind.

At this point, Tang Ning already understood that there must be some connection between Qiu Ling and the Assassins he met outside the city.

Although he has a good impression of Qiu Ling, it is only a good impression, and he is not thin on Qiu Ling, in the face of forty-eight lives, this affection is insignificant.

Therefore, Tang Ning's waist knife was unsheathed, and in the face of Qiu Ling, who was rushing forward, he did not hesitate to slash down. But since Qiu Ling knew that Tang Ning had entered the eighth grade, he still did not hesitate to make a move, how could he be a general?

Facing Tang Ning with a single knife in his hand, Qiu Ling was not afraid of it although his hands were empty, and his slender figure was like a butterfly, dancing in the fierce knife light, with a graceful but murderous posture.

After handing it over, Tang Ning knew how powerful Qiu Ling, whom he agreed to be a weak woman, was so powerful that a pair of slender jade palms pressed layer by layer, so that Tang Ning did not have the slightest chance to breathe.

Tang Ning has no intention of being strong, nor does he have the self-esteem to fight alone, the most important thing in his heart is to leave Qiu Ling behind, gain insight into the black hand behind him, and avenge the dead soldiers.

His own soldiers were just outside the alley, and as long as Tang Ning shouted loudly, they would inevitably swarm him, but Tang Ning couldn't open his mouth.

Qiu Ling's shot was too aggressive, and he obviously knew that Tang Ning must have brought his own soldiers, so he didn't give Tang Ning a chance to breathe. Tang Ning could only parry his true qi, if he opened his mouth to shout, his true qi would stagnate, and he would inevitably be controlled by others.

The alley was quiet as usual, but the small courtyard behind the wooden gate was filled with a murderous aura of swords and swords. Tang Ning's sharp single knife was no match for Qiu Ling's pair of jade palms.

With a bang, one of Tang Ning's sleeves was cut by Qiu Ling's jade finger, and Tang Ning, who was already leaning against the corner of the wall, kicked the game hanging on the wall.

It was sent by Tang Ning to Qiu Ling to try the day before yesterday, or Tang Ning hung it on the wall, but these wild animals have not been touched.

Now that he was kicked away by Tang Ning, the frozen hard pheasants and hares scattered and hit Qiuling head-on.
