At this time, the third child also came back with someone, and when he saw that the seventh child was carried down, he hurriedly asked, "My lord!" What happened to the seventh? ”

"Someone just came to assassinate His Highness, and Lao Qi was seriously injured!"

"What about the assassins? Did you catch it? ”

"Ran!" Gao Shangzhi said, turned to Shi Jian and said, "Your Highness, let's go back to the house first!" Today's things are not easy! ”

Shi Jian held back his stomach and followed Gao Shangzhi into the room with his sleeves.

Gao Shangzhi sat down, looked up at the third child, and then looked at the sixth child behind him, frowned slightly, and asked, "What?" Injured? ”

The sixth replied: "The subordinates are incompetent, and they have suffered some flesh wounds, so there is no big problem. ”

"Visiting Xihuahou Mansion tonight, how did you get it?" Shi Jian asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, I have found nothing."

"Nothing?" Shi Jian was a little surprised and asked, "The three of you went, didn't you bring back any useful news!" ”

"The three of us were cautious along the way, and when we came to the outside of the Xihuahou Mansion, it seemed that we had been targeted for a long time, and we didn't even touch the gate of the Xihuahou Mansion, so we were surrounded by a group of people whose identities were unknown, but whose martial arts were very good! After dozens of rounds, there is no way to take them! ”

"How many of them?" Gao Shangzhi asked.

"Seven people in total!" The third child answered.

"You are all top masters, how can only seven people be your opponents!"

"Your Highness! These seven people are definitely not ordinary people! Their movements are strange, their shots are clean, they are not inferior to us, and they look like they are specially trained! It should be the dark line of Xihuahou Mansion lurking in Yecheng! The third said.

"No wonder the people sent before went to Xihuahou Mansion to inquire about the news, but they all went and didn't return, and it was true! Shi Min's subordinates are quite a few people! Shi Jian said resentfully.

"What I didn't expect was that Shi Min actually came to test King Ning's Mansion in person!" Gao Shangzhi closed his eyes and said faintly.

"Shi Min?" The third child was taken aback.

Gao Shangzhi nodded and said: "I originally thought that those two people just now would be the remnants of Zhang Bao, but if I think about it, if Zhang Bao's subordinates can have such a master, maybe he has escaped that day!" In this Yecheng, apart from Shi Min, who else can fight with you without falling behind? ”

"What does Shi Min want to do!" The third gritted his teeth hatefully.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that after tonight, the Xihua Marquis Mansion and the Ning Wangfu may have to fight to the death!" Gao Shangzhi opened his eyes, looked at Shi Jian and said, "He came today to test King Ning's mansion!" ”

Shi Jian frowned and said, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" It's meant to be! ”

At this time, the eighth suddenly ran over in a hurry, and the third child scolded: "What are you doing in such a panic!" ”

"Your Highness, Your Excellency! Seventh Brother ...... Seventh brother, he's dead! The eighth said with tears streaming down his face.

"What!" The third child was the first to react and rushed out desperately.

When everyone arrived, Lao Qi was already lying on the bed, motionless, there were blood stains everywhere on the bed, and the doctor in the house came over with blood on his hands, and said to Shi Jian helplessly: "Your Highness, the old man is incompetent, his injuries are too serious, the bleeding is too much, and he can't stop it at all!" ”

Several of Shi Jian's subordinates were sad, their noble faces were expressionless, and their eyes flickered slightly, revealing a trace of sadness that was difficult to hide.

Shi Jian's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, and he could see that he was extremely angry at this moment.

"Old Seven, don't worry, we will avenge you!" The third child's eyes were red, and he said firmly.

"What I did today was a loss-making business, and I didn't take advantage of the Xihuahou Mansion, but I lost our people!" Gao Shangzhi put his hands behind his back and said in a hoarse voice.

"Deal with the aftermath of Lao Qi, and wait for Wu Liang's news!" Shi Jian coldly commanded, then turned around and walked out.

......

When Shi Min took Wang Chong back to the Xihua Marquis's Mansion, it was close to the ugly hour, and Xu San had been waiting anxiously for a long time.

"Childe, you're finally back!" Xu San greeted him.

"Wang Chong is injured, take him down to heal!" Shi Min commanded.

"Good!" Xu San looked at Wang Chong's wound and said, "It's okay!" Flesh wounds, bandage and heal in a few days! ”

Wang Chong smirked, and Xu San instructed the little sixth son on the side: "Sixth son, help the king rush down and bandage his wounds!" ”

"Huh!"

Shi Min took off the mask around his neck and asked, "Is Zhang Mufeng back?" ”

"You just walked with your front foot, and he came back with your back foot! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Xu San said, leading the way in front and saying, "The person is in the front hall." ”

"When I came back, I saw a puddle of lime powder on the ground outside the door, did someone come tonight?" Shi Min asked.

Xu San nodded and said, "There are three people here, and their skills are quite good, and seven people can also hold them!" Ran away by them! ”

As soon as Xu San finished speaking, before Shi Min had time to ask, Zhang Mufeng had already greeted him, saluted and said, "General!" ”

Shi Min walked past Zhang Mufeng, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Get up and speak!" ”

"General Xie!" Zhang Mufeng stood up.

"Tell me, where are the brethren now?" Shi Min asked.

"The last general was ordered to convey your brightness to Brother Zhu, and the wolf cavalry captains have all withdrawn to the vicinity of Niushou Mountain!"

Shi Min nodded slightly, and at this time, Zhang Mufeng asked, "General, there is something unknown about the last general!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Why didn't the wolf cavalry retreat to Handan, but to Niushou Mountain?"

"Niushou Mountain is inaccessible, thousands of people and horses are hiding there, and no one will be found at all. I just want everyone to know the wolf rider's whereabouts, so that when necessary, they can be surprised! ”

Zhang Mufeng nodded, and when he saw Shi Min's night clothes, he asked, "General, why are you dressed up like this big night?" ”

"Xu San didn't tell you?" Shi Min asked

"Third Uncle Xu only said that you went out for something, but didn't say that you went to King Ning's Mansion! And that's how it goes! Zhang Mufeng said, glancing at Xu San.

"I see!" Shi Min also glanced at Xu San, and then said to Zhang Mufeng: "Tonight, I took Wang Chong to visit the Ning Palace, and I just came back!" ”

"What's in it for you?" Zhang Mufeng asked.

"Remember the man in black who fought you and me before?"

Zhang Mufeng nodded: "Naturally, I remember!" ”

Shi Min sneered: "Now it's basically certain, those people in black will say that Shi Jiandao is a subordinate!" ”

"So, that Shijian is the mysterious person in the mouth of the noble?"

"That's right!" Shi Min nodded.

"But if that's the case, then Gao Shang and Shi Jian will not be familiar with each other for a long time, after all, when Zhang Bao saved the first emperor in Dali Temple, those two black-clothed people of unknown origin appeared by some coincidences, and they were involved with Shi Jian and Gao Shangzhi!" Zhang Mufeng said.

"It doesn't matter what the real situation of these things is, I originally had two doubts, one is whether Shi Jian is the person who has been hiding deeply, and now it has been determined that he must have a plan to secretly cultivate his own forces. Another doubt, I just want to know if the person who colluded with the Xianbei people in the first place is him! Does his father's death have anything to do with Ning Wangfu! Shi Min said with a serious face.

At this time, Xu San on the side said: "No matter what excuse this Shi Jian uses to cover himself, his real purpose must be the throne!" And he Ning Wangfu, I'm afraid he won't take Xihuahou Mansion as his own! Childe, I'm afraid that our competition with Ning Wangfu is far greater than the competition with Zhang Bao and Shi Zun! ”

Shi Min nodded silently, and said affectionately and seriously: "What Uncle Xu said is true! I'm afraid this is just the beginning! ”
