Chapter Ninety-Six: Getting Out of Trouble
The sound of horses' hooves is getting louder and louder, indicating that the distance is getting closer.
Not long after, a tall figure galloped towards him, and at a distance from him, a large group of men and horses faintly followed the climate.
Jing Zetian stared into his eyes and saw clearly who the person who came, this person he also knew, it was Luo Yifeng, the director of the Terracotta Division, who had just met him some time ago.
Jing Zetian didn't expect that he would come with people this time, Luo Yifeng belongs to the five-grade military attaché, among the officials in Hua'an City, the rank is not too high, but the position is relatively special, he is mainly responsible for the city defense of Hua'an City on weekdays, and he is regarded as the emperor's henchman.
"Huh~" Soon, Luo Yifeng and a large group of people arrived in front of Jing Zetian, Luo Yifeng turned over and dismounted, walked to Jing Zetian, the armor on his body brushed, and said: "The last general is too late to save the car, please atone for your sins." As soon as Luo Yifeng got off the horse, the horse under his crotch fell to his knees and spat heavily. Luo Yifeng looked back at the horse distressedly.
Luo Yifeng is more depressed today, he is inspecting the city defense step by step as before, Hua'an City is the national capital, it is difficult to have a war under normal circumstances, so although his work is important, he is generally more idle on weekdays.
Originally, Luo Yifeng hummed a small song, took his subordinates, under the light of the warm sun, patrolled the city defense on the city gate, and suddenly there was an order from the emperor, saying that he should immediately lead hundreds of city guards to capture the assassins who attacked the six princes, if the six princes made a mistake, let him directly apologize with death, although he didn't understand what was going on, but Luo Yifeng didn't say a word, took people and rode horses and ran towards the place in the order.
On the way here, Luo Yifeng was very puzzled, someone dared to carry out assassination activities around the Jingshi, and still assassinated a prince, which made Luo Yifeng realize that the water in this matter is very deep, and his political consciousness is not too bad, he only acts on the principle of following orders, and the rest of the things do not want to be mixed and cannot be mixed.
As he realized the seriousness of this matter, he kept waving the whip in his hand all the way, and the horse galloped desperately all the way under the pain.
Along the way, Luo Yifeng was very anxious in his heart, for fear that he would be late, and the consequences would not be something he could bear. After two quarters of an hour of wild running, Luo Yifeng finally arrived at his destination, when he saw Jing Zetian safe and sound from a distance, the big stone in his heart finally fell, this time he completed the task, as long as the prince is fine, the rest is not his concern.
"Hehe, General Luo is tired, a chivalrous warrior suddenly appeared just now and helped me repel the assassins, otherwise I would have died this time." Jing Zetian said calmly, when he was born and died just now, he grew up again.
"The end will be late, and His Royal Highness the prince will be frightened, and the ministers are willing to accept the guilt." Luo Yifeng bowed down and said, he couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky, there was a chivalrous man at this time, who not only saved the prince, but also saved him.
"Okay, since your people are here, escort me and wait back, I'm tired." Jing Zetian waved his hand and said, he was really exhausted at the moment, and he really wanted to find a big bed to sleep well.
Hearing Jing Zetian's order, Luo Yifeng immediately arranged manpower to escort him and Xiao Zhuozi and others back to the palace, as for the secret guards, looking at Luo Yifeng and the city guards like looking at the air, dealing with their own casualties, Luo Yifeng obviously also knew the identities of these people, and he didn't care, the secret guards and the officials and generals of the imperial court could not communicate, in case the emperor knew, they would definitely be punished, today the secret guards were ordered to protect Jing Zetian, so they could say a few irrelevant words to Jing Zetian, otherwise, Jing Zetian had a hard time even meeting the people of the secret guards.
Dividing line --------
"Smack!" A tea bowl fell on the blue brick floor and directly turned into smashes. The candles in the Changle Hall seemed to be frightened and trembled.
"How can this be reasonable, I didn't expect these people to dare to assassinate my prince of Dahua, they really don't take me seriously." Jing Kaige walked around the hall angrily, the ground was full of porcelain corpses, and the sound of falling in the hall was basically on the ground.
"Your Majesty is angry, fortunately the six princes are okay this time, and the people behind it don't succeed this time, so it is estimated that it will stop." Huang Wencheng, who was on the side, has been constantly comforting. He suddenly got a flying pigeon from the secret guard today, and the secret letter said that someone might want to harm the six princes, and after knowing the news, he immediately reported to Jing Kaige, and then there was a matter of Luo Yifeng.
Even if Dahua has the means to fly pigeons and pass the book, but after all, the distance span is too large, and this time around, Luo Yifeng rushed to just catch up with a passing scene.
"Fortunately, I have already arranged it, otherwise it would be difficult to say Zetian this time, this kind of thing happened, Zetian is so young, I don't know if I was frightened, I was still a little careless, I didn't expect that the other party would arrange so many assassins this time, and so many unidentified people appeared in my Jingshi, and they were not discovered, Wen Cheng, what are you doing." Jing Kaige asked with a cold face.
Huang Wencheng was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, Dahua Kingdom did not kneel and salute, it can be seen that Huang Wencheng was not lightly frightened, he accompanied the king like a tiger, and he who served Jing Kaige for most of his life, deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.
"The slave is guilty, and she will definitely deal with this matter." Huang Wencheng said nervously, cold sweat on his forehead.
"Hmph, get up, did the assassin leave any valuable information this time?" Jing Kaige asked lightly. After venting his anger, he had to think about how to find out who was behind the assassination, and see if some families still didn't give up, as he thought before.
"Back to Your Majesty, the secret guards have already probed, and those dead assassins have a tiger head tattoo on their arm." Huang Wencheng replied respectfully, worried about whether the emperor was satisfied with his answer.
"Isn't there a living mouth?" Jing Kaige asked suddenly.
"No, according to the secret guards, some injured assassins found that they couldn't escape, so they committed suicide by taking poison." Huang Wencheng reported truthfully.
"Any other useful clues."
"Your Majesty, these assassins are obviously professionally trained, they are wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and the knives they use are also relatively common knives. Huang Wencheng said cautiously, and at the same time, his eyes secretly aimed at Jing Kaige from time to time, so as to grasp the emperor's mood and thoughts, so as to stop the words that caused the emperor's dissatisfaction in time.
Jing Kaige listened to Huang Wencheng's report, and his mind was also analyzing, now that Dahua has just stabilized, the work of registering and making a record of personnel is being carried out in an orderly manner, and he has already implemented the policy on the resettlement of displaced people, but the time is too short, and the effect is not obvious. Therefore, he understood that it was difficult to investigate any valuable information through a few assassins, after all, those behind the scenes were not idle people.
"Okay, let's arrange it according to your ideas, investigate some valuable news as soon as possible, and I will raise your secret guards, but I will not let you eat for nothing." Jing Kaige said sternly.
"The slave obeys." Huang Wencheng immediately nodded in response, feeling relieved, this time he was fine.
"I go to Zhengyang Palace now to take a look at Zetian, I heard that he fell asleep as soon as he came back, I guess he was exhausted, I went to see his situation, so that I can put my heart down." Jing Kaige said with a secret sigh. Originally, he didn't want to disturb Jing Zetian today, but he still couldn't rest assured, and finally decided to take a look, Jing Zetian already had a certain place in his heart through his recent performance.
