Chapter 29: Assassination

"Sure enough, there is also a problem with the military supplies that are transported to the border pass, and in the next period of time, while you are preparing, you will arrange for someone to quickly transport the prepared ones over, first close to the north pass, and then transport them to other places if there are more!" As soon as Xu Mengmeng returned to the mansion, he summoned the twelve horsemen to discuss.

"This matter is not simple, the general must pay attention to his own safety in the process of investigating the case!"

"Well, don't worry! I know! Although Xu Mengmeng was sure that there was something behind this matter, and if he really found out something, that person would definitely attack him, but he didn't care.

He is not a soft persimmon who first entered the barracks, and the current killer is not as strong as martial arts novels, and he can fly on the wall and the like, it is nothing more than more strength than ordinary soldiers, and he can use swords and sword moves, so even if they come, it is not much of a problem for them to escape.

"Dad, why are you tired and sad today, but what happened to the court?" Li Muyang saw his father holding the dishes and chopsticks and kept sighing, so he asked a little strangely.

"Hey, this morning, General Ning ......"

"General Ning, what's wrong with him?" Before Father Li's words were finished, Li Muqing had already opened her mouth eagerly.

"General Shi Ning wore a shabby official uniform to the court early this morning......"

"What? Is General Ning's clothes torn? Then there was no one to make up for him! ”

"Qing'er, don't interrupt yet, listen to me!" Father Li glared at his daughter with displeasure, who always interrupted him.

"Oh," Li Muqing reluctantly shut her mouth.

"General Ning wore rags to the court, and was seen by the emperor, so the emperor asked him, only to know that the winter clothes sent by the military department to the soldiers were filled with not new cotton, but old cotton and rags, General Ning felt sorry for the soldiers, so he took all the money in the house to make winter clothes for his soldiers, so he was so poor that he didn't even have a decent clothes!" Father Li said with a sigh.

"Ahh It's too much, how can they treat General Ning like this? ”

"yes, I don't know whose hand it was this time? Hey, Your Majesty is old, the princes are all older, and similarly, their ambitions are also great! How important military supplies are, that is the dependence of border stability! It is really chilling that they should disregard the lives of the people on the border and thousands of soldiers for their own selfish desires! ”

"Dad, didn't you just say that General Ning has already reported this matter to the Holy Lord, and I believe that the Holy Lord will definitely see the details, so don't worry too much!" Li Muyang opened his mouth to persuade.

"Hey, the emperor did order a strict investigation of this matter, but he asked the Criminal Department and General Ning to investigate, General Ning is a young talent, a rare general, if something is found, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be poisoned!"

"What? Dad, you said someone was trying to harm Ning Jun? No, Dad, you need to find a way to save him! Li Muqing pulled Father Li's sleeve anxiously.

"How can your father and I, a Wenchen, save him? Besides, although he is young, he is also the one who has defeated Ye Ting, and he should not be weak in kung fu! Hey? Don't you hate those martial artists on weekdays? How can it be so abnormal today? Father Li first glared at his daughter angrily, and then asked curiously as if he remembered something.

"Didn't I hear you say that he was a rare general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so I was worried!" Li Muqing pretended to be calm and explained, but her cheeks were slightly red.

"Dad, someone in our family is tempted!" Li Muyang joked with a smile.

"Brother~" Li Muqing's face was flushed with shame, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to shrink herself.

"General Ning Xiao is a young talent, with an extraordinary bearing, and attaches great importance to love and righteousness, he is a good husband candidate, but not to mention your reputation in the capital is really indescribable, it is your ability to cause trouble at both ends in the past three days, and your behavior does not have the bearing of a young lady at all, if you want General Ning to fall in love with you, I guess you are dreaming!" Father Li struck unceremoniously.

"Dad, where am I like you say!" Li Muqing muttered a little angrily, causing Father Li and Li Muyang to laugh.

"Chunhong, what do you think of your young lady?" Until she returned to her small courtyard, Li Muqing was still thinking about what her father said.

"Miss is very good! is good-looking, and it is good for us subordinates, and dare to openly ...... with the prince and them."

"Stop, don't talk about that, I wonder if you think I'm vulgar?" Li Muqing asked in a low voice with a headache.

"No! I think it's good that Miss is like this! At least no one dares to bully us anymore except for Wang Gongzi! ”

"Then what kind of girl do you think General Ning will like?" When Li Muqing heard Chunhong's words, she no longer had much hope for herself.

"Most men in this world like to be beautiful and gentle, and General Ning is probably no exception! But miss, why do you care about what kind of girl General Ning likes? You don't like him, do you? Chunhong exclaimed incredulously.

"Hmm," Li Muqing blushed and nodded lightly.

"Miss, it's not the slave maid who said it, General Ning is unlikely to like you! After all, didn't you still scold him in front of so many people! Chunhong reminded thoughtfully.

"I didn't know he was him! He can't be so stingy and keep holding on to this matter! Li Muqing lay on the table like a deflated ball, and the whole person looked sad.

"Who are you?" In the gloomy alley, Xu Mengmeng held the handle of the knife in his hand tightly in his right hand, and looked coldly at the few black-clothed men surrounding him, breathing a little urgently.

Xu Mengmeng didn't expect to be really told by Chi Yu, the person in the dark really dared to send someone to assassinate him, but the hateful thing is that everyone has been busy replenishing military supplies recently, and the place where they went out today is not far from the house, and the twelve horsemen didn't bring any of them, but they were given an opportunity to force themselves into this sparsely populated alley, it seems that today they can't use that life-saving thing!

Because the few people who came to assassinate were relatively close, Xu Mengmeng couldn't use the long whip for a while, and could only choose the big knife she carried with her, but although she is a woman now, isn't the woman still a woman?

The big knife that weighed as much as a cabbage had been going on for a long time, and my wrist was sore. If it weren't for the fact that her body was quite flexible, she might be injured now! Now she is really aggrieved in her heart!

"Bang~" A strong wind hit behind her, Xu Mengmeng dodged sideways, the long sword slashed directly through her arm, the piercing pain made her involuntarily let go of the hand holding the long knife, her eyes were black, she covered her injured arm against the wall, and the delicate little face behind the mask was covered with fine sweat.

No, it looks like it's time to use that! Xu Mengmeng made up his mind suddenly, and his uninjured left hand reached behind his waist.

"General Ning? Bold, who are you? Dare to openly attack the court officials! Come on, take them down for me! ”
