Chapter 194: Little Things, Big Things

Although Li Mengxing is accompanied by guards, but these people are more just soldiers, not guards, Jiaozhou battalion has its own complete system between Jiaozhou City and Fengmeng Town, outsiders want to enter the city is really difficult, there is no other trick, the road guide system is really implemented.

And these guards are not full-time, they are just selected people from various units, who are regarded as advanced studies by Li Meng's side, and after they go back, they will be promoted accordingly, and they practice martial arts and battle formation command methods every day, as well as various knowledge that Li Meng let them know.

Therefore, the guards practiced the dignified way of killing, and if an army rushed in front of them, Li Meng's guards formed a formation, and they were really not afraid.

But when someone suddenly broke up on the side of the street and rushed up with a sharp blade in his hand, the guards around Li Meng couldn't help but react, and no one thought that an ordinary-looking vendor who was sitting on the side of the street selling fruits would suddenly have such a move.

Li Meng was the leader, and he usually walked in front, and there were only two soldiers in front of him, and the assassin rushed with all his strength, and for a while no one could cover him.

At this time, the nobles traveled, and the honor guards were all in a long procession, and the nobles were surrounded in the middle, Li Meng hated this, thinking that I did it myself, majestic and self-sufficient, why engage in those flashy things, but at this moment, I thought that this Hu Ruyun also has his reason, at least it can separate outsiders from the chief official.

The assassin was obviously not a pounced warrior, from the storm to the sprint, the speed was already extremely fast, and the assassin could almost determine that no one could stop him in front of him before he came into contact with Li Meng.

What he held in his hand was a short spike of stainless steel, quenched with poison, and people in high positions were accustomed to wearing chain mail in the inner lining to prevent assassination, but this short thorn was a sharp weapon against this kind of armor, if those people in the rivers and lakes still had a saying about this short thorn, it was called an armor-piercing cone.

The hanging bonus on Li Meng's head is nearly 40,000 taels of silver, and the two Huai salt merchants, Lu Di Haoqiang and a certain military leader are all involved, and the only person who dares to receive this bonus is himself, after killing Li Meng, although he is also bound to die, but this bonus is enough to ensure that his family is rich for several generations.

In a hurry, with Li Meng boiling his body every day, practicing diligently, he could only take a step back, and the guards behind him exclaimed, and some of their brains turned quickly, and they already felt that the huge foundation of the Jiaozhou camp was probably going to disappear with Li Meng's death.

"Squeak~~~~"

With an extremely harsh friction sound, Li Meng took a step back and didn't continue to retreat, turned sideways slightly, the waist knife had already been withdrawn, raised and split, and when the knife was halfway, Li Meng still reversed the blade, turned the blade into the back of the knife, knocked on the assassin's neck, and immediately knocked out.

"Huhu", Li Meng also took a few deep breaths, this is calming down, there is already cold sweat oozing out of his body, he is no longer the small squad leader, but the general who guards the side, some things, even if they are disgusted, they have to do it, otherwise they will have to worry about their lives.

Seeing that Li Meng was fine, the soldiers behind him surrounded him with a bang, and Li Meng's brocade robe had already been cut wide, but the armor inside was exposed, this was not the kind of chain mail worn by the people of the time, but a set of almost complete plate armor.

Chen Liu's face was extremely bad, firstly, he was frightened, and secondly, he was by his side, but he couldn't reach out, and felt extremely ashamed, Li Meng tore off the brocade robe on his body, but he was wearing a half-body steel armor, he saw Chen Liu's ugly look, and said:

"You don't have to take it personally, but you need to be more vigilant in the future."

After speaking, he turned to one of the leaders of the guards and said:

"Huang Ping, you are from the Jinyi Guard, do you know the method of guarding this guard."

Huang Ping, who followed behind, was the most rational and compliant reaction among these guards, and when everyone was panicking, Huang Ping, as the commander, commanded his own guards to guard the position of Li Meng's side to prevent a second possible attack.

Hearing Li Meng's call, Huang Ping felt a burst of excitement in his heart, knowing that the opportunity to get a promotion and appointment had come, but his expression was as indifferent as possible, and he took a step forward and bowed and replied:

"Back to my lord, the villain did learn when he was in Jinyiwei."

"Okay, from today onwards, start arranging these guards according to the method you have learned, if you need anything, go to Wang Hai to ask for it, and he will arrange it for you."

Huang Ping hurriedly bowed down and agreed, the plan that originally wanted to go out of the city to see the soldiers' drills in a good mood was obviously impossible to continue, Li Meng turned around and was about to go back to the house, Huang Ping was just about to follow the action, but was stopped by Li Meng again, and said lightly:

"Since you are from the Jinyi Guard, you must also know the method of torture and interrogation, pry open this assassin's mouth for me, and tell me who did it!"

After saying that, he went back to the house directly, Chen Liu's officers went to arrange the inventory and defense in the city, this time Li Meng was not in front, there were guards on the left and right, Li Meng couldn't help sneering in his heart: Okay, I actually used a dead soldier to deal with me, then go to death!

Li Meng's assassination happened suddenly, and it was solved quickly, there were only some rumors in Jiaozhou City, and there was no storm, but the next day, Li Meng led a large group of people to leave Jiaozhou City and went to live in his Li family manor in Fengmeng Town.

Dead soldier, this is just an assassin who is not afraid of death, whether he can withstand torture is not necessarily, Jin Yiwei's hundreds of years of means have been accumulated, and it is really an outstanding place, Huang Pingcha's credit, naturally it is a twelve-point performance, and the confession asked was sent to Li Meng's hands that night.

The person who instructed the assassin was Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Caozhou, which was also Liu Zeqing's common method, if he couldn't use the knife and gun, then send the assassin to assassinate him.

The governor of Shandong, several officials who patrolled the yamen were assassinated by him because of the ridicule or impeachment of him for running rampant in the township and being an official lawless, Liu Zeqing accepted a famous prostitute as a concubine, and also sent a killer to kill the scholars who had dealings with the prostitute one by one, and the means were extremely cruel.

In the conflict with Li Meng, both sides were generals who supported the army, and Li Meng was a strong general, and all his soldiers and horses in Dongchang Mansion were defeated within ten days, and he was supported by important ministers behind him. On the surface, it is impossible to offend, but Shandong is not a rich place, Dengzhou also has a general Qiu, two general soldiers and a general, this Shandong has a faint meaning that there is a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers, one family wants to develop, and the other must be eliminated.

Liu Zeqing is a vulgar person, and he does not know how to use private salt to make profits like Li Meng, so he can only rely on renting fields to raise soldiers, but Li Meng has already controlled the Haoqiang of Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou, Liu Zeqing's territory has been encircled, and it is impossible to develop outward.

Li Meng had deep roots in the coastal salt works, and if he was not killed, he would not be able to seize these salt works, which is also the origin of today's assassins.

Huang Ping Jinyi Wei was born in a family, and he was naturally familiar with this kind of thing, and soon even found out how to sneak into Jiaozhou City, when Zhao Weng, who was a lobbyist, entered the city, the assassin came as an entourage, and no one noticed that there was one less person when he left the city.

Moreover, Jiaozhou City has always been a lax access control because it welcomes merchants from all directions, as long as the road guide is complete, there will not be too many people to pay attention to it, which is why the assassins calmly mixed in.

That night, Li Meng talked with Huang Ping until late at night, and after the conversation, he gathered his subordinates to prepare to live in Fengmeng Town, there were too many flaws around him, and it was also blamed that Li Meng acted too much differently from other people of the same era, so that Huang Ping looked at the unfathomable and profound places There are countless places, and the effect is excellent. Therefore, he felt that although the defense of Jiaozhou City and Li Meng was negligent, maybe Li Meng had some other powerful means on his side, and his newcomers did not dare to speak rashly.

Li Meng smiled bitterly, the white dragon fish suit, presumably said that it was himself, fortunately, in order not to be tired of bearing the armor on the battlefield, he wore half of the plate armor every day, but if it wasn't for his quick reaction that day, his body dodged sideways, I am afraid that he would have been pierced by this short thorn.

After the assassin's confession was tortured and confirmed, the assassin would have no value, and it would be impossible to have any lawsuit with Liu Zeqing for such a matter, and Zhao Weng was indeed here to make peace between the two sides, and this assassin was just the second way prepared by the other party.

When I arrived in Fengmeng Town, there was an advantage, in this small town, there were all soldiers from the Jiaozhou battalion, and those residents were also familiar people who could not be acquainted, and outsiders could not come in at all, even if the security measures were not complete, they would not worry about anything wrong.

This assassination was like a splash in the lake and sea, which disappeared in an instant, and the representatives and children of the two Huai salt merchants in Shandong embarked on their return journey after Zhao Weng returned with a delay of a few days. Liu Zeqing's side was unusually quiet, and he was also a lot of people, but it made Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, sigh again and again in front of his subordinates, saying that Liu Mou in Caozhou finally felt righteous and no longer domineering.

There was not much reaction from the Jiaozhou battalion, and it was as usual, but three days after the assassination, Li Meng led hundreds of men and horses and brought dozens of bullocks to the private port of the Lingshan salt field, and Huang Ping had been promoted to Wang Hai's deputy, which was also a rumor in the Jiaozhou camp.

But no one in the people standing by the port cared about this matter, because what was about to happen in front of them made everyone in the Jiaozhou camp excited.

"The artillery is coming!"
