Volume 2 Pavilion General Star Chapter 457 Assassination in public
Zhao Shuao knew that there must be a reason for His Royal Highness's change of attitude, and this reason should be Ling Hanxiao, the general of Shannan Wei, who suddenly appeared.
It's just that His Royal Highness has just arrived in Tongzhou, and he has not had any contact with Ling Hanxiao.
Why, just because Ling Hanxiao changed his attitude?
The arrangement of this actual battle is not only the battle of the leader of the Wuge, but also a major event in Shannan to suppress bandits, and he is certainly not willing to rush.
In any case, he had to meet His Highness first.
If something really happens, he can arrange it in time.
He was still thinking about how to refuse this, when he heard Zheng Ji in the carriage continue: "This hall still thinks that it is better to suppress bandits sooner rather than later, and I think Mr. Guo and Mr. Liu think the same way, right?"
"......" Guo Chang and Liu Hui were silent when they heard Zheng Ji mention his name.
The two gentlemen were not stupid, of course they had noticed that Princess Changding was in such a hurry just now, and there must be something profound.
Princess Changding's news is better than them, could it be ...... What happened?
Like Zhao Shuao, their eyes moved back and forth between the carriage and Du Fengju.
Du Fengju didn't seem to notice everyone's scrutiny, and said, "Your Highness, you are not in good health, so you should rest for a few days. In the meantime, it is thought that the advance commander may send his soldiers to investigate the truth in various places, as previously agreed."
Tao Jingyi, who was in the carriage, held her breath and contemplated, thinking quickly in her head.
What do you mean by what was previously agreed?
Obviously, when His Highness agreed with them before, he just asked them to delay the meeting with Pavilion Master Zhao as much as possible, and wait for His Highness to come back from the Tung Mountain.
Now Mr. Du is saying this...... That, of course, follows Mr. Du's words.
"What Mr. Du said is that although the main hall can't go everywhere to investigate in person, the main hall has come to Tongzhou and brought a lot of soldiers with a long command, so let them go to explore the road first."
When Ling Hanxiao heard this, his mentality, which had originally decided to wait and see, suddenly changed.
He stared at Du Fengju with a cold face, feeling that this little Mr. Wuge dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.
They deliberately said what had been agreed upon, and from that he could tell that they had not agreed on any plan.
But......
From this sentence, what he can judge more accurately is that His Royal Highness Changding is already suspicious of Tonshan, so he will think of going to Tungshan to investigate.
He thought of Hu Chong and Pei Bi, who were driven into the Tonshan at this time, and before he held these two people, he was absolutely unwilling to let Changding lead the soldiers into the Tonshan Mountain.
Although he was confident in the layout of the mountain, he did not like things to go beyond his plan, and if Chang Ding led his soldiers to investigate the mountain, he might alarm his layout in the mountain.
Regardless of whether they were suspicious or not, he had to stop Changding from leading his soldiers to Mt. Goushan.
So, he said, "Your Highness is unwell, and it is not advisable to work your mind, so it is better for me to send soldiers everywhere, I don't know what the cabinet thinks?"
Zhao Shuao nodded and replied, "That's very good."
After that, he glanced in the direction of Du Fengju, and when he saw what the other party wanted to say, he couldn't help but squint.
His meaning is very clear, you have to understand what His Highness means before speaking.
Before Du Feng could speak, he said to Ling Hanxiao, "The matter of investigation will be handed over to General Ling."
After a pause, he continued: "General Ling, I'm really sorry, the old man's three teams have just arrived at the Tongzhou Mansion, and the old man needs to arrange for them to rest one by one, and I can't talk to the general in detail for the time being, so I ask the general to forgive me."
Zhao Shuao didn't have the heart to say anything to Ling Hanxiao now, these words were already vague and expelled.
Ling Hanxiao came here for a purpose, how could he be sent away by Uncle Zhao Ao's words?
He not only wanted to see the rumored His Highness Changding with his own eyes and test the truth of His Highness Changding, but also to delay the pace of Changding's soldiers to investigate everywhere.
The situation here in the Prefecture is and
The rhythm can only be controlled by him, whether it is Zhao Shuao, the pavilion master or His Royal Highness Changding, he can't put his beak!
He was about to say something when he suddenly noticed an unusual tremor in the air, and he instantly turned around to catch the anomaly.
However, at the moment when he turned around, a Shannan guard soldier standing not far from him suddenly pulled out his long knife and rushed towards Princess Changding's carriage.
This is an ordinary Shannanwei soldier, but his speed of drawing the knife is unimaginable, and he doesn't look like an ordinary Shannanwei soldier at all!
The bright blade was still glowing with blue light, and it stabbed close to the carriage where Zheng Ji was with lightning speed.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, whether it was Ling Hanxiao, the general, or Zhao Shuao, the pavilion master, or the gentlemen and soldiers of the Wu Pavilion, none of them could react.
No one could have imagined that the Shannan Wei soldiers would dare to directly assassinate Princess Changding in front of so many people!
Even if Princess Changding falls out of favor now, she is still a royal bloodline, how dare he, this Shannanwei soldier?
Ling Hanxiao almost burst into tears, and subconsciously struck out a palm thought, but it was okay if he didn't high-five, that soldier actually used the power of his palm wind to leap faster.
The sharp long knife also cut through the curtain and stabbed in......
At this moment, Ling Hanxiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
This is the soldier he brought with him!
Now, the soldiers he brought over actually assassinated Princess Changding in public!
If Princess Changding is killed...... No, no, no, Princess Changding must die, but it's not this way of dying!
Ling Hanxiao wanted to smash this soldier to death, but he was some distance away from the carriage, and even if he wanted to save Princess Changding, there was nothing he could do.
Besides, this soldier's martial arts were so powerful, he could almost foresee what would happen next.
It was too late, and just when everyone thought they would see blood, the long knife that pierced the carriage seemed to be blocked by something, and it was frozen in mid-air.
Immediately, there was a sharp palm wind in the carriage, and the Shannan guard soldier who had already flown to the carriage was slapped in the chest without resistance.
With a "poof", the soldier suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, bowed his body, flew straight backwards, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Only then did everyone react, it was Princess Changding in the carriage, she was not a delicate golden branch and jade leaf, but a princess who broke into the top three of the Wuge Jiachang!
She knows martial arts, and her martial arts are strong, even if she is infected with the wind and cold, she still has the power to fight back.
Now the Shannan guard soldier was knocked to the ground by her palm, and he vomited blood and fell unconscious.
"Take him!"
There was a hoarse shout from the carriage, and the soldiers of Changding quickly reacted, and suddenly rushed forward to surround the carriage, and at the same time controlled the Shannanwei soldier.
Seeing this scene, Ling Hanxiao's brows tightened more and more, and there was an ominous omen in his heart.
At this time, a hoarse word came from the carriage again, which made his scalp tingle.
