Chapter 129: The Assassin

The next day, after Lu Baiting got up, he walked to the playground outside and saw Li Chengjing standing there alone, not moving. Slowly walked over, "Chengjing, what are you thinking about here alone?" ”

Unexpectedly, Li Chengjing's backhand was a punch to his face, Lu Baiting didn't understand why Li Chengjing shot at him in a dignified manner, so he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly took two steps back to avoid Li Chengjing's fist. "Chengjing, what are you doing?"

Li Chengjing sneered, "Look at the move." "Left palm and right fist whirring. Lu Baiting saw the move, the two fought quickly, but Li Chengjing's fists and feet became faster and faster, and the strength became more and more fierce, after more than ten rounds, Lu Baiting had lost the wind, and he could only resist Li Chengjing's attack. After 20 rounds, Li Chengjing stopped and opened backwards.

Lu Baiting gasped, "Chengjing, what are you doing early in the morning?" Have you been wronged in any way? You want to take my anger out. ”

Li Chengjing smiled: "Don't panic, I haven't seen you for a long time, I just want to try your skills, but your skills seem to be more advanced than when you were in school." ”

Lu Baiting said: "After graduation, I also have hard training at home, of course, there will be progress. Otherwise, your fists and kicks are so fierce, and I would have been seriously injured by you. ”

Li Chengjing sighed, "I thought that your kid was spending time with Ruodie girl in Nancun every day, and he was so happy that he had already wasted his skills, it seems that I was wrong." ”

Lu Baiting was unconvinced: "Do you think only Chen Zui is self-motivated?" If that's the case, I'm so embarrassed to come to you. ”

Li Chengjing gave a thumbs up, "Good job, it's not in vain that I did my best to help you at school." ”

"Yes, yes, I have to thank you for everything I have now, my instructor Li Chengjing."

Li Chengjing sneered, and then thought of Instructor Liu again, and felt sad again. Lu Baiting hurriedly changed the topic, "What are you doing standing there motionless just now?" Are you worried about the war? ”

Behind, Chen Zui, Duan Shaoling and Shen Hong all walked over.

Shen Hong said: "I saw you chatting from afar, and you seemed to be very happy." ”

Li Chengjing said: "What's so happy, I'm thinking about how to fight this war, I can't spend all my military pay here." ”

Duan Shaoling also said: "You really have to think of a strategy to break the enemy as soon as possible, otherwise you will waste this batch of military salaries in vain." ”

Chen Zui said: "Yin Jun's layout this time is very dense, and it is really difficult to find an opportunity. ”

There was silence again.

Lu Baiting said: "I want to say, the three of you are not fans of the authorities, and you have complicated simple problems. ”

Shen Hong said: "Look at what you said, it seems that you have a strategy to break the enemy. ”

Li Chengjing asked, "Bai Ting, do you have any suggestions to listen to?" ”

Lu Baiting said: "Okay, let me ask you, now that the military salary, grain and grass have arrived, can it inspire the morale of the army?" ”

Shen Hong said: "Of course, aren't you talking nonsense?" ”

Li Chengjing said: "Shen Hong, don't interrupt first, Bai Ting, if you continue to talk, what about encouraging the army?" ”

Lu Baiting continued: "The most important thing in fighting a war is the spirit of the army, now is the time when our army's spirit is at its peak, and the enemy army has spent several months, it is conceivable that the morale of the three armies is not as good as before. ”

Several people thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt enlightened, "Bai Ting is right, why should we care about how tightly defended the enemy, as long as the morale is there, there is no reason to be invincible." ”

Shen Hong had to say now: "Okay, Bai Ting, your idea is really good, I really admire you." ”

Lu Baiting said humbly: "It's not that you can't think of it, it's just that because the battle has dragged on for a long time, your authorities are confused." ”

Li Chengjing said: "Then when should we choose to send troops?" I originally wanted to say that I would raid at night, but the Yin army was bound to be on guard, and I was afraid that it would backfire. ”

Chen Zui said: "It's better for us to choose a day than to hit the day, let's send troops today and fight with all our might." ”

Everyone thought it was feasible, and several people went to see Commander Cheng together and asked him to convene an emergency military meeting to discuss how to send troops. After their discussions were concluded and the strategic opinions were agreed, Commander Cheng telegraphed Ningzhou, and after obtaining the consent of Li Dashuai, he was to assemble the three armies and gave them the order to fight a battle against the water.

The officers and men of the three armies did not want to spend here for a long time, and the military salary arrived, and they had no worries, and when they heard that they were going to fight to the death with the enemy, the army's heart was boiling.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers destroyed all the pots and stoves, demolished the barracks, and attacked Baichuan with the whole army. How could the Yin army have thought that the Li Jiajun would fight to the death with them without warning, the two armies have been facing each other for so long, the morale of the Yin army has long been low, and it cannot resist the attack of the Li army, after five hours of fierce fighting, the Li family army recaptured Baichuan and chased the Yin army all the way to the west.

Just when Baichuan was recovered, Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling led a team of men respectively, Chen Zui went to the east and Duan Shaoling went south.

After Commander Cheng telegraphed Ningzhou, Li Qiyu telegraphed the southeast and the southeast to stand by, and the news of Baichuan's recovery was reported to Ningzhou as soon as possible, Li Qiyu ordered the southeast and the southeast to counterattack the Yin army at the same time, and Chen Duan and the two quickly marched to assist the southeast two places to attack the city.

The two reinforcements arrived, and brought the news of the defeat of the enemy army in the west, and the army's morale was greatly boosted, and the Yin army was defeated at the same time in the east, west and south, and the Yin army was defeated in a hurry and left Central China.

Three days later, the three-way army led its troops back to Ningzhou at the same time. The victory in this battle can be regarded as hurting the vitality of the Yin army. And Li Jiajun got hundreds of thousands of military salaries, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides reversed, and Li Jiajun no longer had to compromise with Yin Jun everywhere.

Li Qiyu led the men and horses to greet the triumphant soldiers at the city gate, and the people in the city cheered when they learned that the battle ahead had been won, and they welcomed Li Qiyu with Li Qiyu.

Chen Zui and the others sat on horses and went all the way into the city, and when they saw such a scene, they were all full of spirit. Within a hundred steps of Li Qiyu, everyone dismounted one after another.

After Li Qiyu expressed his condolences to the officers and men of the three armies, he ordered the three armies to be rewarded. Then, Li Qiyu called Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling to step forward.

The two stepped forward and saluted, "Handsome." ”

Li Qiyu walked up to them with a smile, patted them on the shoulder, took two steps back, and said loudly: "You two are extremely brave and have made many meritorious achievements. ”

Chen Zui was about to thank him, when he suddenly noticed that the breath on the side was abnormal, and he was surprised that it was the sound of a bullet, and the target of this bullet was not him, but Li Qiyu. ”

With a 'boom', a bullet landed right at Li Qiyu's feet.

When the people heard the gunshots, they panicked and fled in all directions.

"There are assassins, protect the marshal." The guards beside Li Qiyu were only one step slower than Chen Zui, and when they heard the sound of bullets, they all formed a circle and protected Li Qiyu's surroundings, and the pistol fired several shots at the opposite side.

Li Chengjing was in a hurry and rushed to her father's side, "Dad, how are you?" ”

Li Qiyu was shocked for a moment, and then he was furious, "The whole city is searching for assassins, and I must arrest the assassins for me, and I will interrogate them myself." ”

They looked around, panicked just now, but they didn't see the Assassin's appearance, and now they didn't know where the Assassin was running and how to track him down.

Duan Shaoling stepped forward, "Don't worry, Shen Hong and Bai Ting discovered the assassin's whereabouts just now, and the two of them have already gone to chase the assassin." ”

Li Qiyu ordered the three armies to return to the camp for rectification first, Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling went back to the Marshal's Mansion with him, Li Chengjing stayed by his father's side, and the Shuaifu guards and Chen Duan escorted them back to the Marshal's Mansion together.

Back at the Shuaifu, they discussed it back and forth, and they all believed that the assassin must have been sent by Yin Shouji, and the only way to get definite evidence was to wait for the two of them to arrest the assassin before torture him.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Li Qiyu asked Duan Shaoling to stay in the living room to rest for the time being, and asked Chen and Li to go to the study with him.

"Daddy."

"Dashuai."

Li Qiyu said calmly: "Do you know why I called you up alone? ”

The two of them seemed to know, and they both seemed to know, and finally they both shook their heads.

"Now that the war is settled, I intend to let you get married one day."

Chen Zui thought about how to propose to Li Qiyu hundreds of times, but Li Qiyu said it first so casually, and now he doesn't know what to say, and Li Chengjing can't say a word.

Li Qiyu walked up to them and sighed, "You have gone through so many ups and downs together, and it's time for you to get married." He took the hands of the two, put them together, and said earnestly: "Jing'er, as a father's daughter, you have suffered so much, it is time for someone who loves you and can share it for you by your side." ”

He said to Chen Zui again: "Chen Zui, Jing'er is the person I care about in the world, I will hand her over to you now, I hope you can treat her well, and at the same time be able to accompany Jing'er and shoulder the burden of our Li family together." You're a manufactur, and I've always had high hopes for you, and don't let me down on either of these things. ”

Chen Zui looked at him, and then at Li Chengjing, "Yes, handsome." ”

Li Qiyu smiled: "Haha, do you still call me handsome?" ”

Chen Zui couldn't change her words for a while, Li Chengjing glanced at her father with shame and disgust, "Dad......"

Li Qiyu smiled and asked again: "Chen Zui, who else is in your family?" ”

"My dad is the only one in the house."

Li Qiyu nodded, "Then when your wedding date is set, you will send someone to take your father over." ”

"Yes."

"It's okay, you two go out first, and then let me know when you catch the assassin."

The two of them went down to the first floor, and Duan Shaoling saw that their faces were as red as apples on the table, and they didn't need to explain, they all guessed eighty.

"It seems that the good things for the two of you are coming, which is really gratifying."

The two chuckled and didn't answer, but they acquiesced.

Duan Shaoling asked again: "Is the date set?" When? ”

Chen Zui was about to say that the wedding date had not been decided, when a guard outside the door came to report, "Report to the eldest lady, the assassin's body has been brought back, and it is outside." ”

They walked out together, and there was a corpse on the ground outside the door, and Shen Lu and the others stood next to the corpse, quite tired. It could be seen that the two of them had gone to great lengths to catch up with the Assassin. But why didn't they stay alive? Now that there is no proof of death, how can you track down the mastermind behind it?
