Out of Dali Temple, Shi Min and Zhang Bao were silent, and for a while, their brains were confused by the noble words.

After a long time, Zhang Bao finally said: "Childe, what do you think of the noble words just now?" ”

Shi Min shook his head and said, "It's a mess, and I don't have a clue. ”

"I don't know what he said, but a few of them are true." Zhang Bao put his hands behind his back, frowned and said, "This old fox, the city is too deep!" It's unpredictable! ”

"All the noble words, if you look at them in the way, are all logical, and there are no loopholes." Shi Min sighed and said, "But if you analyze it from the perspective of questioning, then his words are unreliable!" ”

"But one thing, one thing is certain, that is, the movement of soldiers and horses in the patrol battalion is indeed related to the noble one!"

"Not necessarily!" Shi Min stopped, thought for a while, and said, "If King Ning and Gao Shangzhi are lying, then this statement is not true!" ”

"This ......" Zhang Bao couldn't understand for a while, and asked: "King Ning is also lying, doesn't that mean ...... Are Gao Shang and King Ning together? ”

"That's right! But ......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and the two of them followed the sound and rode over alone.

"Wang Chong?" Shi Min immediately recognized the visitor.

"General! The two generals of King Li have come to the news! Wang Chong turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said.

Shi Min hurriedly asked, "Where are the two uncles now?" ”

"Big ......" Wang Chong said to his mouth, and when he saw that Zhang Bao was also beside him, he subconsciously kept silent.

Shi Min looked at Zhang Bao beside him, understood his understanding, and ordered: "It's okay, Master Zhang is his own person, say it!" ”

Hearing Shi Min say this, Zhang Bao's face showed a hint of joy.

Wang Chong glanced at Zhang Bao and said, "The two generals were ordered to conquer Shi Zun's rebels, and they have now triumphed!" The army returned to Handan and stationed, and the two generals would personally escort the main prisoners back to Yecheng, and they would arrive in less than five days! ”

"Where is the messenger?"

"It's in the Hou Mansion!"

Shi Min nodded and said to Zhang Bao: "Lord Zhang, take the next step first!" ”

Zhang Bao returned the salute and said, "See you another day!" ”

The two rode to the Xihua Hou Mansion, and when they were about to arrive at the Hou Mansion, Wang Chong couldn't help but ask: "General, when did this leopard become his own person......

Shi Min glanced at him and said with a smile: "That sentence is just for him!" ”

Wang Chong suddenly realized, scratched his head with a smile, and said, "It's still a great general!" ”

Back in the house, Xu San and the others were there, and the person who delivered the letter was drinking a bowl of hot porridge. Seeing Shi Min coming back, Xu San stepped forward and said, "Childe! ”

The messenger was gobbling up, and when he heard Shi Min coming back, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Meet the young general!" ”

"Get up!" Shi Min commanded.

"General Xie!"

The man stood up, quickly took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to Shi Min. Shi Min took the letter, sat down, and was about to open it, when he saw that there was still half a bowl of porridge on the table, so he asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

The man looked at the bowl on the table, and subconsciously replied loudly: "Returning to the young general!" Eat your fill! ”

Shi Min smiled and commanded again: "There is no habit of leftovers in Xihuahou Mansion, let's eat them all!" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, quite moved, but he didn't dare to move the dishes and chopsticks, and stood in place with some hesitation.

Of course, Shi Min could see that the man said that he was full, but he was duplicitous, and after rushing so far, how could he fill his stomach with only 10,000 hot porridges? So I said it on purpose, so as not to embarrass him.

Xu San on the side said, "Eat!" This is the general's order! ”

The man nodded vigorously and said, "General Xie!" ”

Shi Min smiled slightly, and read the letter with peace of mind.

"Childe, what does the letter say?" Xu San asked with concern.

"The army successfully countered the rebellion, and in addition to those who were beheaded, there were more than 5,000 prisoners. All those above the capital will be escorted back to Yecheng and wait for His Majesty's fate! Shi Min said and handed the letter to Xu San.

"There are seven or eight days left before the New Year! The two generals were just in time to come back before the Chinese New Year! Xu San said happily.

At this time, Zhang Mufeng and Liuzi rushed back.

"How? Did the Assassins find out that day? Shi Min asked.

Zhang Mufeng shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue at all!" The gang was like they could burrow into the ground, and they couldn't find any trace of them. ”

"A dozen people, not a dozen mice, so many people act, it's impossible to be unaware! Yecheng is so big, how can it not be found? Xu San scolded the sixth son: "Are you lazy and ineffective!" So I didn't find it. ”

Liuzi looked innocent and said, "I didn't! I ......"

"Don't blame him!" Shi Min patted Xu San.

Zhang Mufeng suddenly said again: "Young General! There is a saying that subordinates don't know whether to say it or not! ”

"It's okay to be straight!"

"There were more than a dozen people who stopped the assassination that day, and these people have a lot of ability, especially the one who took the lead! Pretty good! The body is extremely fast, the shot is sharp, and every move seems to be for taking people's lives! Like an assassin......" Zhang Mufeng said, glanced at Shi Min, and said: "Don't hide it from the general, if you fight alone, the last general will not be completely sure to defeat him!" ”

"Nonsense, of course that man is an assassin! What else is it? Wang Chong muttered to the side.

Zhang Mufeng explained: "I didn't mean that! I ......"

"Mu Feng means that that person makes a living from assassination! All of his abilities are for killing with one blow! Shi Min explained.

"Yes, yes! That's what it means! Zhang Mufeng said.

"Yes, stand down! Rest early! Shi Min instructed the rest of the people.

"Yes......."

After everyone left, Xu San said with some sorrow: "There are so many unknown people hiding in Yecheng, and our Xihua Hou Mansion actually doesn't know anything!" ”

Xu San sighed deeply and said, "It's all my dereliction of duty!" ”

"Yecheng said that it is not big, it is not small, it is easy to hide more than a dozen people in any corner! Uncle Xu doesn't have to blame himself! Shi Min said and sat down.

"Childe, what kind of intentions do you mean by these people? These days, I have not heard of anyone being assassinated. ”

Shi Min pondered for a long time and said: "I went to Dali Temple today, I saw Gao Shangzhi, and when I left, he said that there is a force in Yecheng that he can't see clearly, and he told me to be careful." I'm wondering if behind these men in black is the black hand that has been hidden in the mouth of the nobleman. ”

"It's a possibility!" Xu San nodded.

"Such a powerful assassin is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford! And...... The assassin of His Majesty should be in the same group as the few men in black I met at the beginning! And the one who appeared in Dali Temple to save Zhang Bao should also be this guy! Shi Min stood up again, paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly said, "In my opinion, those who can support these assassins must be high-ranking officials and nobles or relatives of the emperor!" ”

"That's right! Childe's analysis is right! I just don't understand what the mastermind behind the control of these assassins is! These people don't seem to have done anything other than assassinate His Majesty! ”

Shi Min shook his head and said, "I don't know ......."

"The patrol battalion is already investigating this matter, but there is no result so far!"

"Don't count on them! I don't care about how Your Majesty handles this matter, what I care about is what this person who has been hiding and doesn't dare to show his face wants to do, and whether he is an enemy or a friend to the Xihuahou Mansion! ”

"In this way, it is not difficult to find out the identities of these people!" Shi Min suddenly turned his head and instructed Xu San: "Third Uncle Xu, send your people to keep an eye on the mansions of all the dignitaries and nobles in Yecheng, as long as my guess is correct, I will definitely be able to find clues!" ”

"Childe is wise! I'll arrange it! ”
