Chapter 16 Nangong Ding
"Forty-three?" Nangong Qing frowned and continued: "There are no less than 100 people involved in these strongholds, how can you investigate?" ”
It seems to be inquiring, and it seems to be dissatisfied.
Feng Songfei and Xu Yuanzhong were all silent and couldn't answer.
In the past, these hundred people would have been executed by Nangong Qing, but now the situation is different.
The patriotic intelligence system is almost paralyzed, and if all these 43 strongholds and more than 100 secret spies are disposed of, then the patriotic intelligence system will be like a fish on a plate and can be slaughtered by others.
"Ugh." Sighing heavily, Nangong Qing seemed to be much older for a moment.
"When will King Zhao arrive?" Helpless, he could only hope for Nangong Ding's return.
Since it was his suggestion to kill Li Feibai, now that he has provoked such a terrifying person, he naturally needs to come back and settle it.
"Back to Your Majesty, King Zhao has crossed the hundred rivers, and he must be able to reach the imperial city within three days." Xu Yuanzhong replied.
Three days later, Jinglin Long Street.
A luxurious official sedan chair galloped in, and the city officials opened the way, and the people did not dare to approach.
Shen Tianhe was in a state of anxiety during this time, as the lord of Jinglin City, the people of the imperial city were scattered and public opinion fluctuated, he had to be responsible for pacifying, and he had to beware of the "White Tiger" counterattack at any time.
He hadn't slept well for a single month in months.
Early this morning, Shen Tianhe received news that Zhao Wang Nangong would definitely return to Jinglin, and as the city lord, he had to meet him in the city for both public and private purposes.
Suddenly, a sedan chair came slowly, the speed was not fast, and the four people who carried the sedan chair walked in unison, almost no succession.
encountered Shen Tianhe's official sedan chair, and the sedan chair also stopped.
"Who? Dare to intercept the sedan chair of the city lord? The city soldiers shouted.
The four people who carried the sedan chair gently put down the sedan chair and did not answer.
"What's the matter?" Shen Tianhe was a little impatient, lifted the sedan curtain and asked.
"City Lord, I don't know where the Diao people came from, blocking the way." The soldier replied.
"Hmph, the top oppresses me, you flat-headed people, don't let me worry." Shen Tianhe was already irritable, but the sedan chair was stopped, and his anger rushed to his head.
"Get off the sedan car!"
Lifting the sedan curtain, Shen Tianhe walked out with his official uniform.
"I want to see, which Diao Min dares to block the way of this official?"
In front of the sedan chair, a "sedan chair driver" shouted: "Stop, don't approach." ”
"What?" Shen Tianhe was stunned, no one dared to talk to him like this.
"Don't get closer? Do you know who I am? ”
"Whoever you are, don't come close." The "palanquin man" said expressionlessly.
"Oh, it's not a small show." Shen Tianhe was even more angry: "I have to see, who is your master?" ”
In Jinglin, he can be regarded as a local snake, not to mention that there are several times the other party's city soldiers, Shen Tianhe has no fear in his heart.
He strode forward and came to the front of the palanquin.
"Knort"
The "sedan chair man" immediately pulled out the steel knife at his waist and straddled his neck.
This move completely frightened Shen Tianhe.
"You...... What do you want? This official is the lord of Jinglin City, and if you dare to hurt me in the slightest, you will definitely be broken into pieces. ”
"Wow"
Seeing that the city lord fell into the hands of the other party, the city officials also drew their sabers and quickly surrounded the sedan chairs.
"Qi Rui, put away the knife and let the Shen City Lord come forward."
In the sedan chair, there was a voice, the voice was low and powerful, resolute and unyielding.
"Yes!"
The palanquin man named Qi Rui put away the steel knife and made way of the way.
"Hmph, it's good if you're scared."
Shen Tianhe was a little proud, swaggered to the sedan chair, and lifted the sedan curtain with his right hand.
What caught his eye was a face with closed eyes, his sword eyebrows were vertical, his complexion was dark, and a scar on the right cheek was unusually conspicuous.
"City Lord Shen, it's been a long time." The man's eyes were still closed, and he spoke.
Seeing this person, Shen Tianhe opened his mouth wide, trembling and retreated, and then he knelt down.
"The lower official should die, the lower official should die, I don't know that King Zhao has arrived, please forgive the prince!" He kept kowtowing.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the city also knelt down with Shen Tianhe.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, and City Lord Shen doesn't have to blame himself, get up." Nangong Ding also walked out of the sedan chair with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Shen Tianhe trembled and stood up, his forehead covered with sweat.
"City Lord Shen is in a hurry, where are you going?" Nangong Ding still asked with a smile, as if he didn't feel at ease about Fang Cai's affairs at all.
"If you go back to the prince, I received the news that you are about to return to the city today, so I took the people of the city and wanted to go out of the city to greet him." Shen Tianhe replied respectfully.
"Oh? Turned out to pick me up? ”
"Exactly. I don't know why the prince is sitting in a sedan chair? ”
"I heard that the 'White Tiger' rebelled, Jinglin people were panicked, I wanted to secretly visit the people, but I didn't expect you to destroy it."
"The lower official deserves to die, please punish the prince." Shen Tianhe wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Nangong Ding.
patted him on the shoulder, Nangong Ding smiled and said: "Okay, I don't blame you, now that it is an eventful season, the city lord of Shen does not have to spend his energy on ushering in and sending him away, it is fundamental to do his job well." ”
The implication is that you don't have to come to pat me on the back, clean up the mess under Jing Lin's eyes, even if you are competent.
Shen Tianhe has been up and down in officialdom for many years, how can he not understand?
"Yes, the prince has taught him a lesson, and the lower officials should remember! I will return to the city now, and I will do my best to repay the emperor's kindness. Shen Tianhe swore an oath.
"Well, let's go back." Nangong nodded fixedly.
When everyone in the city government left, Sun Qirui, the "sedan chair man", arched his hand and asked: "Lord, do you want to kill or stay?" ”
Squinting his eyes, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Nangong Ding's eyes: "Jinglin's people are scattered, and they still need him, so keep it for now." ”
"Then shall we continue to make secret visits?"
Glancing at the lively people around him, Nangong Ding originally wanted to secretly look for Li Feibai's traces, but now that he has shown his face on Long Street, there will be no results if he continues.
He believed that among this group of people, there must be Li Feibai's eyeliner, if he hadn't left Jinglin.
"No need, let's go." Nangong set to drill back to the sedan chair.
"Lord, do you want to go back to the palace first, or ?" Sun Qirui asked.
"Go straight to the palace."
Huisheng Medical Center.
Fang Qing reported today's events to Li Feibai.
"He's back?" Li Feibai whispered, his expression a little complicated.
Before he "rebelled", he and Nangong must have the name of master and apprentice, and they knew each other very well.
"Childe, didn't Nangong definitely go to the border? Why is it suddenly appearing in Jinglin now? Fang Qing was puzzled.
"I think you burned your head by drinking, I can't see such a simple thing, now the royal family of the country is disturbed by us, and recalling Nangong Ding must be to deal with the son." Fang Shengshou said on the side.
Smiling slightly, Li Feibai acquiesced to his statement.
"Nangong Ding's person should not be underestimated, he is ruthless, the city is very deep, and his joy and anger are invisible, even I sometimes can't see what he is thinking. Since he dared to kill me, it means that he is fully prepared. ”
"Then shouldn't we be more careful in our actions in the future?" Fang Qing replied cautiously.
