Chapter 42: Death

The Mansion of Taiwei Li at the other end.

Li Yi took the letter in the hands of the city gate guard, this Lord Li has a fierce momentum, he is in charge of the power of soldiers and horses, and Ning Hou's Confucian general demeanor is different, he does not hide the murderous aura on his body at all, completely shocked the city gate guards, he did not dare to look up at this adult, his legs trembled.

Li Yi sneered, not because these people restrained their momentum, he tore the envelope, shook the letter twice, the folded letter opened like a flower, he held the letter in one hand and looked at it casually, his face changed from not caring much to solemn.

And he lifted his feet and went out of the house, and got on the horse on which the guards of the city gate had come, and rode away.

The guard at the city gate followed closely and chased him out, with a look of tears on his face, and the horse was ridden away by Lieutenant Li, and he could only return to the city gate on two legs.

This lord is really hot-tempered, he didn't say which city gate just now, can he know that it is the east city gate?

The galloping horses were faster than Marquis Ning's carriage, and the pedestrians on the road avoided one after another, and some of them had the courage to recognize that this was Lord Li, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Li Yi didn't know these discussions, the people had already arrived at the east city gate, and the chief of the guard guarding the city had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Lord Li coming on horseback, he didn't dare to say anything, Li Yi jumped off the horse, and the guard greeted him and said, "My lord, please come with the villain." ”

Li Yi hummed lightly, and followed the head of the guard into the room where Fang Cai had settled.

The man had just been bandaged his wounds, and Li Yi's expression was slightly condensed, and he asked, "Where is his token?" ”

The chief guard replied, "He has been holding him tightly, and he should still be in his shirt." ”

"Hmm." Li Yi pressed his hand on his chest and groaned, "You go down first." ”

"This ....." the captain of the guard changed his face, if something happened to this soldier with him, he couldn't afford to wait,

"Huh?" Li Yi's eyes widened, with a bit of majesty and unquestionableness: "What objections do you have?" ”

The head of the guard opened his mouth and couldn't speak, and Li Yi scolded: "Go down." ”

The official level crushed people to death, and the chief of the guard had to withdraw, and just when the chief of the guard was in a hurry, someone came to report that Marquis Ning was here!

As soon as his clenched hands loosened, there was a feeling that the weather was dry and hot and there was a timely rain, his head stretched out to look out of the door, and he said in an eager tone: "Quick, go and invite in." ”

He didn't have time to think about how Marquis Ning learned the news, he only knew that Marquis Ning was there, and no matter what happened, the responsibility would not fall on him.

Ning Hou had already walked in by himself, and no one dared to stop him, and said, "When I returned home today, I met Lord Li Taiwei galloping on a horse, and came over to see what happened." ”

This explanation seems to be fine, but it is purely perfunctory, since it is a longitudinal horse, where is the carriage that can keep up, the chief of the guard was still regretting why he didn't invite more two of them to come, and now this Ning Hou Ye is rushing to wash him off, no matter how he Ning Hou Ye knows, he admitted: "Lord Taiwei is inside." ”

Hearing this, Marquis Ning stepped forward and knocked on the door and said, "Lord Taiwei Li." ”

There was a loud "bang" sound inside, Lord Ning Hou didn't care about the politeness, kicked the door open, and saw Taiwei Li leaning against the wall and holding his chest, obviously the loud noise just now was the sound of him being attacked and his body flying against the wall.

Taiwei Li spurted out a mouthful of blood and said: "Quick, chase quickly...." He pointed to the wide open window on one side, and motioned for people to chase the thief who had just run away, and the guard chief got the order and ordered the two teams of guards to arrest the thief, but they all knew that the thief had escaped, and this move was just looking for a needle in a haystack.

In addition to Taiwei Li, Ning Hou Ye saw that there was still a person lying on the bed, the chief of the guard had already helped up Lord Li Taiwei, and Ning Hou Ye strode to the bed, only to see that the soldier had a dagger in his chest, he stretched out his hand to probe his breath, and he was already out of breath.

Looking at the young face, he sighed, if he had come earlier, this child might not have died.

Marquis Ning withdrew his hand, the doubts in his heart became more and more, he turned around and glanced at Taiwei Li, and asked, "What happened?" ”

The chief guard quickly glanced at Marquis Ning's face, and the top priority was to clear the relationship with himself, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly: "Marquis, this person has a token given by the emperor." ”

He walked over to himself, took out a golden token on the man's chest, and presented it to Ning Hou Ye with both hands, Ning Hou took it, and the token was engraved with the word "Yan".

Ning Hou Ye was shocked, this token is the token of King Yan who has been fiefdom as the king, King Yan is the younger brother of Emperor Yan today, the fief is at the junction of the Southern Qi and the Northern Zhou, the terrain is dangerous, if it is not an important matter, how can he send this small soldier to pass the message, today he also died in Huangquan, and I don't know what happened to King Yan.

He said to Taiwei Li: "Does Lord Taiwei know who you are fighting just now?" ”

"I don't know." Taiwei Li recalled carefully, "This official just wanted to find out his token and take a look, but a man in black jumped down from the beam of the house and rushed straight towards him, his skills were not as good as others, and he failed to save him." With guilt on his face, he glanced at the dead young soldier.

Ning Hou Ye looked directly at Taiwei Li, listened to him talk eloquently, believed five points, and a little doubted, for example, this little soldier was assassinated because he took everyone away, but looking at his injury, he couldn't fake it, Ning Hou Ye only said: "I see, today Lord Taiwei is injured, or go back to see the doctor, face the holy matter, don't bother with it." ”

He glanced at the young soldier again, and said to the chief of the guard, "Let's bury it." With a flick of his sleeves, he took the token, fished it out, and went into the palace.

Taiwei Li coughed, calmed down, and asked casually, "Why is Marquis Ning here?" ”

The chief of the guard repeated what Fang Caining Hou Ye said to him, and Taiwei Li touched his beard and sneered: "That's really a coincidence." ”

A few people were silent and didn't dare to reply, you said that people are very clever, you bomb people out and the soldiers will die, isn't it also coincidental? It's just that everyone's official positions are not as good as that of Captain Li, and they are dumb there.

After saying this, Taiwei Li stopped talking, and walked out of the door with his own thoughts: "It's time for the official to go home." ”

The chief of the guard had great eyesight and ordered, "Prepare the car and send the lord back to the house." ”

Ning Hou Ye took the token and entered the palace, the little soldier should have fought his way out of the encirclement, and there were many twists and turns on the road, and the top priority was to report to the emperor to send someone to investigate King Yan's fiefdom.

Ning Houye's hurried appearance has been targeted by a little eunuch, he is Mrs. Ru's person, except for Emperor Zhou's imperial study, she doesn't dare to make a mistake, Mrs. Ru's eyeliner is almost pervasive in the palace, this little eunuch is the best at chasing the wind and shadows, otherwise Mrs. Ru will not let him stare at the movement of the previous dynasty, he watched Ning Houye enter the imperial study, lowered his head and quietly retreated, no one paid attention to him.
