Chapter 70: In the Woods, Assassination

March, late spring.

After Qingming, there was a few days of drizzle. Sometimes dense, sometimes sparse, and the peach blossoms all over the place...... The wind is soft and warm.

Li Yanqing took two mastiffs, came out of the gate, and began to jog along the path. The sky is just dawning, and in the early morning after the drizzle, the air is filled with a faint fragrance. Bathing in such a morning breeze is always a pleasant thing, and the mood is relaxed.

Changing your last name is not simple.

Fortunately, Yanqing's reputation is not good, and the officials of Gong County will naturally not be embarrassed. It's just that he broke away from the Zheng family, and his background has been lowered by one level. But Yanqing didn't care. Anyway, with his previous background, he is a turbid official when he enters the office. fell by a product, or a turbidity official, and the impact was not great. Nowadays, he is also a person with a small net worth, and his annual income of 10,000 yuan, even if he is not a world, can be regarded as a hero.

In the city of Gongxian, there are not without wealthy families.

In contrast, Yanqing is considered an outsider. But so what? Which one is strong and dares to jump out and wrestle with him? Yanqing did not have the support of the Zheng family, but the various good karma formed in the past years was also extraordinary. Just after he publicly announced that he had severed relations with the Zheng family, Cui Zhiren, the founder of Baishui County, immediately sent someone to Gong County to sell a grange of Cui's in Songgao Mountain to Yanqing at a price. To a certain extent, Cui Zhiren's measures also showed the attitude of the Cui family in charge of the city, and expressed dissatisfaction to the Zheng family.

Guancheng Cui's is just a sub-room of the Cui family in Qinghe.

In terms of social status, it is far compared to the Zheng family who stood in Xingyang without a hall name.

However, the Zheng family was in a period of decline, and there were no officials in the court, and they were also silent in Shilin. Especially after Zheng Shanguo resigned, after Zheng Yuanshou resigned, there was only one person in the Zheng family who could get his hands on it, Zheng Hongyi, who was an official in the Confessor's Desk. But after all, Zheng Hongyi is too young to deserve a big scene. On the other hand, the Cui clan in Guancheng, Cui Junsu's official worship of the courtier, his status is far from being comparable to Zheng Hongyi.

Regarding Cui's actions, Zheng can only remain silent.

Cui's grange at the foot of Songgao Mountain is not large in area, adjacent to Baiguwu. This Baiguwu is the land allocated to Shaolin Temple by Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian during the Kaihuang period. Yan Qing hadn't had a chance to investigate yet, because he couldn't pull away at all because of the matter at hand.

At the beginning of March, Yangxia Xie ordered Xie Yingdeng to accompany Xie Hong to thank Yanqing for bringing Xie Ke back from Goguryeo safely.

In addition to giving generous gifts, he also let Xie Yingdeng stay in Gongxian County and be accompanied by Yanqing. In Yangxia, the situation is not too good, and there are bandits from time to time. Xie Ke stayed in Yangxia and didn't even have the intention of studying. Instead of doing this, it is better to let him come to Gongxian County and learn martial arts with Yanqing.

At least, Gong County is still very calm from now on.

For the family's arrangement, Xie Ke naturally couldn't ask for it.

Without half a sentence of dissatisfaction, he happily followed Xie Hong to Gong County. He was accompanied by fifty warriors of the Xie family to protect Xie Yingdeng's safety. Zheng Yanqing's residence can't arrange so many people. Fortunately, Cui Zhiren had just given him a grange, and Dang Shixiong took forty guards to guard the courtyard, which was slightly understaffed. So these fifty warriors of the Xie family, under the leadership of the steward of a famous family Xie Anmin, stayed in the Grange that day.

Xie Anmin, thirty-one years old, is counted as Xie Yingdeng's uncle in terms of seniority.

But it belongs to the side branch of the Xie family, and he is strong in martial arts, good at using a steel gun, which can open a bow left and right on the horse, and has the ability to pierce Yang in a hundred steps.

There are not many people available under Yanqing, but this Xie Anmin came just in time...... However, the Zheng family's surprising silence made Yan Qing vaguely and felt uneasy. It's just that judging from the news from Xingyang, the Zheng family didn't have any special actions, and everything looked normal. It's like Yanqing, who has never had anything to do with the Zheng family.

Come to think of it, it also has something to do with Mrs. Dou's family in Gong County.

The Zheng family did not react, and Yan Qing naturally would not provoke. It's best for everyone to be safe, but in his heart, Zheng Yanqing is still faintly wary.

Li Xuanba's illness has improved greatly.

It's no longer like the beginning, after exercising, you get sick.

According to the experience gained from the treatment of the eldest grandson, the condition is under control. Next, what Li Xuanba needs is conditioning, slowly conditioning. There is a long process in this, just look at Guanyin in Minshu for nearly four years, you can see some clues. Yan Qing estimates that if Li Xuanba wants to fully recover, it is unlikely that he will not have a year or two of conditioning. Even if his body and bones are better than those of the eldest grandson, his condition is not as serious as that of the eldest grandson. But if you want to recover, it will take time...... This kind of thing is categorically unhurried.

The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread......

But Mrs. Dou couldn't wait!

Li Yuan was sent to Taiyuan and needed someone to take care of him.

Previously, because of Li Xuanba's matter, Mrs. Dou did not follow. Now that Li Xuanba's body is better, she can't sit still.

He invited Wu Jingxian, a famous doctor, from Luoyang to check on Li Xuanba and confirm that Li Xuanba was fine.

So, Mrs. Dou officially submitted her farewell yesterday.

People miss their husbands, their sons miss their fathers, and Yanqing is not easy to stop.

It's just a little reluctant, just hooked up with Li Shimin, and was about to further strengthen the contact, Mrs. Dou was leaving. Similarly, Li Shimin was also quite reluctant, in Gongxian County for more than a month, Yanqing deliberately made friends, so that his senses for Yanqing were also very good.

But his mother wants to leave, and he can't refuse.

can only say goodbye to Yan Qingyi, and agree to meet again in the future.

However, although Mrs. Dou said goodbye, she really wanted to set off, and it would take two or three days to prepare.

Yan Qing ran slowly, while running, thinking about how to take advantage of the situation in the past two or three days to further get closer to Li Shimin.

When you come out of the gate, you have to pass through a clearing, and then through the woods, you can see Luoshui. Running back along the Luoshui River embankment, about an hour of jogging, can bring pleasure to the body and mind. After returning to Gong County, Yanqing would maintain this habit every day...... The area of the woods is not large.

In the forest, there is a misty light mist of transpiration, but the fog is not too heavy.

Yan Qing followed the forest path, ready to go through the woods, and then went straight to the river embankment.

Suddenly, the thin waist and four eyes running in front of him stopped, their hair tied up, and a fierce whimper came out of their mouth.

"Thin waist, four eyes, what's wrong?"

Yan Qing also stopped and asked suspiciously.

At the moment when his words came out, the four eyes let out a long and terrible howl, and he soared into the air.

Out of the corner of Yan Qing's eyes, he suddenly found a cold light flying towards him. The four-eyed figure jumped up and rushed towards the cold light.

Someone sneak attacked!

Yan Qing is a chilling cicada.

The instinct honed in Goguryeo made him jump out, hugged the four-eyed body, and fell to the ground with a pop. A sharp arrow, puffy to the ground. The thin waist rushed up to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed into the forest. The four eyes are to protect him, and the thin waist is to kill the enemy.

Before Yan Qing could get up, the four eyes broke out of his arms and rushed into the forest with his thin waist.

Immediately after, a furious mastiff bark came. Three black-clothed men rushed out of the forest, holding bright swords, and without saying a word, they pounced on Yan Qing.

The steel knife was hit head-on by a strong wind.

Yan Qing dodged a wrong step, and after letting go of the steel knife, he immediately faced the attack of the other two.

For a while, Yan Qing was in a hurry and looked a little embarrassed. This is in Gong County, at the door of his house, there will be someone who wants to kill him?

Yan Qing didn't have the slightest mental preparation, and naturally he didn't carry any weapons on his body.

He dodged left and right, and shouted, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

"The one who wants your life!"

A man in black replied viciously, and the steel knife danced, and the knife cloud was heavy. It can be seen that this person's martial arts are not ordinary. Yan Qing dodged again and again, letting go of the attack of the man in black. In the forest, the thin waist and four eyes let out angry roars from time to time, apparently entangled by someone.

It seems that there are quite a few people who come to kill him......

Although Yan Qing was a little flustered at first, after all, he was a person who was killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, so he quickly calmed down.

When a man in black raised his knife and slashed at him, Yan Qing suddenly rose up, and his body curled up in the air. The steel knife grazed his back, and he crashed into the arms of the man in black. Raising his hand and grabbing the man's wrist, his body spread, his feet hit the ground at the same time, his arms were raised, he took a staggered step, and his hard elbow slammed into the door of the man in black fiercely. I only heard a pop, the man in black screamed, the whole door was smashed and the flesh was blurred, the eyes and nose were all smashed and sunk, and he fell to the ground with a puff, his body convulsed.

The other two men in black, after glancing at each other, roared and rushed over again.

Yanqing danced the steel knife in his hand, and the wind whistled with a brush. In the arcs of light, there was a strong sword aura, fighting with the two men in black. After four or five rounds, Yan Qing sold a flaw, and a man in black stabbed with a sword, and was swung by Yan Qing and flew out. He rushed forward, and the knife came out in three waves, one as fast as a knife, and slashed towards the man in black, the sword was as bright as a meteor.

"Lao Bai, it's up to you!"

The man in black was favored by Zheng Yanqing on the shoulder, and blood flowed profusely.

He roared abruptly, raising his hand and grabbing the blade. Zheng Yanqing twitched twice, but he couldn't pull it out. It was too late, it was fast, and the man in black named Lao Bai stabbed in steps. This sword, like a meteor catching the moon, tore through the air and let out a piercing roar.

Yan Qingah exclaimed, couldn't dodge, and was hit in the back by the opponent's sword.

If he hadn't dodged it, this sword would have killed him. Rao so, the long sword pierced through the back of the body, and the blade peeked out from the shoulder socket.

Yan Qing screamed in pain......

Under the encirclement and suppression of so many people in Goguryeo, he was not injured.

I didn't expect to be injured at the door of my home? With a fire in his heart, he grabbed the blade of the sword with his left hand, and before the man in black had time to draw the sword, he used his strength in his hand, only to hear a crisp sound, and the long sword was broken into two pieces by him. His left hand was bloody, but he still held the blade of his sword. The arm was raised, and half of the sword was fiercely poured into the head of the man in black in front of him, and the man in black was suddenly angry.

Lao Bai didn't expect that Yan Qing would be so fierce, and let out an exclamation.

The sword in his hand had become a remnant sword, and he subconsciously raised his hand and clenched his fist, which sounded in Yan Qinghou's heart. After Yan Qing killed the black-clothed man in front of him with a broken sword, his figure flashed, and he suddenly slid backwards and withdrew. Peng's voice sounded, and Lao Bai's fist hit Yanqing's shoulder.

Gaba!

Yan Qing could clearly hear the sound of the dislocation of the shoulder bones.

endured the pain, turned his feet, turned his right hand into a knife, and his backhand was slashing at Lao Bai's neck. The place where the hand knife fell is where the major artery is located. Yan Qing's hand knife is strong and fierce. Lao Bai snorted, rolled over and fell to the ground, his neck twisted as if broken.

Li Yanqing was in pain, and only inhaled cool air.

After killing the three men in black, he staggered and retreated to a tree.

In the woods, the howling of the thin waist and the four eyes has stopped. Then he saw two mastiffs dragging a mutilated corpse and running out.

Yan Qing's mind was also relieved.

The onset of injuries on his body made him a little weak. Leaning against the big tree, he slowly slid down, and the blood flowing from the wound had already stained half of his body red.

"Thin waist, four eyes...... Hurry home and find someone. ”

Zheng Yanqing had one arm and shoulder bone misplaced, and the other hand tried to cover the wound.

The thin waist and four eyes whimpered twice, and immediately understood what Yan Qing meant. After barking at Yanqing twice, he turned his head and ran away.

Who is going to kill me?

Yan Qing calculated in his heart.

When you think about it, he doesn't have many enemies.

Among them, such as Mai Zizhong and Feng Zhijing, they also turned enemies into friends. Then, there are only a handful of people who may want to kill him. One is from Goguryeo and the other is from Silla...... In addition to these two forces, the Central Plains, or the land of Heluo, people who want to kill him and have the ability to kill him are about to come out.

Zheng Jia...... Only the Zheng family has such a huge hatred with him, and they will think about putting him to death!
