Chapter 56: Yu Yufu is assassinated

Three days later, Liu Xie arrived at Yufu, and Gan Ning led his subordinates out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and it was not only the soldiers led by Gan Ning, but also the people who came spontaneously. From the fact that they greeted each other, it can be seen how much the people of Yufu love Liu Xie, the young emperor.

But it was such a scene that made Gan Ning secretly nervous. If these civilians were hiding assassins, he would be held responsible.

However, when he saw Liu Xie, he found that Liu Xie had a happy face on his face, a very happy look, and after Gan Ning and others saluted, he patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Xingba, good job!" Seeing the apprehension in Gan Ning, Liu Xie said in a low voice: "Don't worry, this is the effect I want!" I want Liu Jingsheng to know that I have come to Yufu to take charge, and I wonder if he is ready and determined to start a war with me! ”

Lu Meng and Guan Ping on the side glanced at each other, one left and one right sandwiched Liu Xie in the center, behind Liu Xie, Zhao Yu and Jiang Li, and then Shenwu Wei and Thirty Luan Wei, the escort force is not weak. If someone jumps out to make trouble at this time, the end can only be a 'death'.

But the more people worry about something happening, the more it happens.

In the midst of the sound of 'Long live my emperor', the people next to him knelt down one by one after someone took the lead in kneeling. The ritual of kneeling was not uncommon in the Han Dynasty, and even when people sat down to talk, most of them were kneeling.

But in the public, it is rare, unlike in later generations, when the lower officials see the upper officials, they have to kneel.

It's rare, it doesn't mean that you can't kneel, sometimes people are excited, and it's too normal to make this kind of kneeling move, not to mention that it's still today. Liu Xie didn't care, but just waved to the people on both sides.

But just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, an arrow flew out from the crowd and pointed directly at Liu Xie's face.

Hearing the sound of breaking the air, Gan Ning, who was beside Liu Xie, directly pulled out the long sword in his waist, and slashed off the long sword that shot at Liu Xie, and shouted at the same time, "Enemy attack, escort!" ”

But before his voice fell, several arrows had already flown towards Liu Xie, which showed that the assassin was not alone, and the weapon he used was still a weapon. The guards below were nervous for a while, but Liu Xie was not in a hurry, the cold sword in his hand was flying, and he easily picked up flying arrows.

He didn't dodge, because behind him, there were still Zhao Yu and Jiang Li, if he dodged, the people behind him would definitely not be able to dodge. And these arrows have nothing to do with him. He didn't even have the slightest hint of anger in his heart.

Liu Xie knew that there were not a few people who wanted to kill him, and the people who dared to assassinate him here would definitely not be a native of Yizhou. If it was done by the locals of Yizhou, then they were too stupid, because Liu Xie's bloody methods had already told them that if they found out, they would be killed.

In this way, it can only be an outsider. Several other princes had reasons to kill him, because they were afraid of Liu Xie's growth.

But just because Liu Xie is not angry does not mean that others are not angry. Especially Gan Ning, he came here to greet Liu Xie, if something happened to Liu Xie at this time, he would be blamed. This is still secondary, the important thing is that if Liu Xie has a problem, then this big man will really collapse.

And his future can only be like this.

"Ziming, you lead people to protect Your Majesty, and I will search for the enemy!"

Gan Ning shouted and lunged at the assassins, while the people next to him scattered screaming.

When those assassins saw that the assassination failed, they naturally did not stupidly hold their weapons, and they had already thrown away their weapons and fled with the fleeing people.

And Gan Ning could only look at it with hatred, and ran back to ask Liu Xie for punishment with a face of shame!

Liu Xie took the discarded weapons and looked at them, and finally handed them to Gan Ning, and said, "Xingba, come and see, where does this crossbow come from!" ”

Gan Ning looked at it, looked up at Liu Xie, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this crossbow is the crossbow used by the Jingzhou Navy Army......

"Let's go to the city!" Liu Xie turned over on the horse, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and walked towards Yufu County.

A good welcome ceremony was made like this, and Gan Ning wanted to die. But he had no choice but to secretly scold the Jingzhou Navy for having nothing to do, gritting his teeth and swearing that he would find an opportunity to clean them up when he turned back.

Not only Gan Ning was angry in his heart, but also officials of all sizes such as Badong Taishou Deng Zhi and Yufu Ling Meng Jian were also extremely angry.

Because they are all afraid, if Liu Xie has an accident here, the result can be imagined. Moreover, now that Yizhou is changing with each passing day, every day has a new look, and they don't want such a good thing to be destroyed and affect their future.

Of course, it is still a small matter to affect the future, and the important thing is that before that, they will first bear the responsibility for dereliction of duty.

Yes, they are more nervous and depressed than anyone else about this matter, this is lying down and getting shot! Without waiting for Liu Xie's order to investigate in detail, they started to arrange matters on their own. Especially Gan Ning, before entering the city with Liu Xie, he sent his men to pay an unannounced visit.

When he came to the government office, Liu Xie left Brother Zhu, Gan Ning, Lu Meng, Guan Ping, Deng Zhi, Meng Jian and others, and the others were dismissed first.

"What do you think about this, tell us what you think!" After sitting down, Jiang Li took the teapot and went to make tea for Liu Xie.

Gan Ning's surname said urgently: "There is no doubt that this matter was done by the Jingzhou Navy Army, they have reasons and motives, and now there is evidence!" Some people may say that they would not be so stupid as to throw such obvious evidence on the spot. But what if they want to use this to confuse everyone? Your Majesty, if they want to fight, let's fight them! The rabble in Jingzhou has not yet been put in the eyes of the general! It's going to beat them up! ”

Liu Xie looked at Gan Ning, who was in a hurry, just smiled, didn't say anything else, and then swept around everyone's faces, "Don't you have a different opinion?" ”

Lu Meng scratched his head and said, "Although what General Gan said is reasonable, we have no other evidence, and it's hard to say who it is, because everyone has this possibility!" ”

"Bo Miao, Gongwei, what do you think?"

The two glanced at each other, Meng Jian shook his head and said, "Indeed, as Majesty Lu said, there is no more evidence, and it is difficult to prove who did it." ”

Deng Zhi also nodded and said, "Weichen thinks the same way!" ”

Liu Xie chuckled and looked at Guan Ping and Brother Zhu, "Now, the two of you are left without expressing an opinion, Tanzhi, you can talk about it!" ”

Guan Ping grinned and said, "Ping has the same idea as General Xingba, it is estimated that this is the conspiracy of the Jingzhou Water Army." ”

"Where's Kong Ming?"

Brother Zhu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty thinks whoever is the most suitable, that is who!" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this, but Liu Xie laughed out loud. (To be continued.) )
