The next day, when the sky was just dawning, Xiao Ce had already gone to the court, Li Hanning woke up early in the morning, and heard the sound of the death knell in the distance, and now Luoyang City is the imperial city of the Great Zhou, and the death knell here is only for one person.

Li Hanning was stunned, it seemed that Emperor Xiao had passed away, accompanied by the heavy snow in Luoyang City, the sound of the death knell came from far and near, and there were hurried footsteps all around, and the whole of Dazhou was a white and vast color.

Li Hanning began to worry a little about Xiao Ce, although he spent most of his days in Chang'an since he was a child, and very few days in Luoyang, and he has not been raised by Emperor Xiao's side, but he can naturally get the position of the current prince, which also proves that although in the eyes of his father, the eldest brother Xiao Sheng, the child who has been raised by his side since he was a child, is more important, but they are father and son in the end.

Although after the winter, Emperor Xiao's body is not as good as day by day, he has been bedridden for a month, and he can only barely eat one meal a day, but now that he is really gone, Xiao Ce should feel uncomfortable now.

If it was an ordinary time, Li Hanning would probably go to the front hall to stay by his side, but at the moment, Xiao Ce still has a lot of things to deal with, and the affairs of the previous dynasty during this time were originally taken care of by him alone, and now that Emperor Xiao has passed away, he is about to succeed to the throne, and there must be a lot of things to be busy.

Li Hanning glanced at it, although he remembered Xiao Ce in his heart, he would take care of everything, and the maid who had been guarding the door said:

"Let's go back."

After going back, Li Hanning waited for a day, and waited until the evening, when news came from the palace telling her that Xiao Ce was going to stay in the palace tonight, so that she didn't have to wait with the lamp and rest early.

This guard was specially sent by Xiao Ce to tell her the news in his busy schedule, Li Hanning nodded, now that the first emperor has just passed away, Xiao Ce naturally wants to stay by his father's side and accompany him on his last journey, which is understandable.

It's just that Li Hanning still feels a little sorry in his heart, because he couldn't accompany him because of pregnancy.

Li Hanning glanced up at the moon in the courtyard, the bright moon tonight seemed to be brighter than usual, and now Xiao Ce was also looking at the same bright moon in the palace.

Maybe after tomorrow we get some sleep, and everything will be fine.

At night, Li Hanning was about to rest, but someone came into the mansion to deliver a letter to her.

This person did not come in from the main gate in the light of righteousness, and he should not have passed through it yet, because he came in wearing a night suit while the prince's mansion was strictly guarded.

The lights in Li Hanning's room had been turned off, but in the moonlight, people could see the sneaky shadow at the gate falling on the paper window, and it was moving closer to the direction of the window.

The next moment he opened the window and came in, he saw that he had a cold dagger around his neck and shoulder, although he was a little surprised, but he felt that it was reasonable, and there was no fear in his eyes:

"It is worthy of the famous General Li of the Great Zhou, even in the prince's mansion, his vigilance is so strong."

Li Hanning didn't take these compliments he said to heart, but Li Hanning looked at him as if he was being caught right now and could calm down, but now that the dagger was in her hand, the situation was in her favor, and she also spared some effort to say a few words to the uninvited guest in front of her:

"If it weren't for the vigilance, I'm afraid I'd be the one who is being held against the dagger now."

Hearing this, the man in black hurriedly smiled at the person in front of him: "General Li is too worried, then it won't, I don't dare, and with my martial arts, even if I have such thoughts, I am really not your opponent." ”

Li Hanning frowned, looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Who sent you?" ”

When she asked this, she didn't expect the person in front of her to tell the truth, but she didn't expect the person in front of her to admit frankly:

"It was Lord Liang Zhou who asked me to come over tonight."

This name surprised her a little, even if she had a relationship in the main hall today, but she didn't know Liang Zhou before, she only briefly fought on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, not only was she not a friend, but she was still an enemy, and the current prince's mansion was heavily guarded, how could she send such an unobtrusive assassin in.

Li Hanning looked at him, if he said this, the person in front of him was from Southern Xinjiang, and it should be one of the few warriors brought to the palace by the envoy of Southern Xinjiang today, and continued to ask, "What did he ask you to do?" ”

The man in black subconsciously raised his hand, and the strength in Li Hanning's hand was a little stronger, as if the dagger in her hand was about to cut the throat of the man in black in the next second.

The man in black was a little panicked when he saw that she was going to move seriously, and quickly stopped the movements in his hand, looked at Li Hanning in front of him and explained:

"General Li, don't get me wrong, I really don't have any malice this time, I have a letter in my arms, which was written by General Liang Zhou himself, General Liang Zhou asked me to pass it on to you, if General Li thinks that he can't trust me, he can also take the trust himself."

The person who delivered the letter was dressed like this, and he chose this time of night, the content of the letter was probably not simple, but he believed that this assassin was sent by Liang Zhou, because there was no such bold assassin in the entire Luoyang City now.

Li Hanning quickly recalled the bottle of medicine he gave Liu Ling when he was on the letter today, Li Hanning was a little soft-hearted in his heart, since the people in southern Xinjiang were generous enough to send medicine to his apprentice, why should she be stingy to read the content of a letter.

Li Hanning glanced at him and said, "Take out the letter that Liang Zhou gave you." ”

The man in black took an envelope out of his bosom and handed it over.

Li Hanning put down the dagger in his hand, and seeing that the danger that threatened his life disappeared, the man in black still secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still looked at Li Hanning who opened the letter and asked:

"You just let me go, aren't you worried that I'm not good for you? I still have a lot of hidden weapons on me, and I'm not supposed to be an unknown assassin to you? You can rest assured of me? ”

Li Hanning opened the envelope in his hand expressionlessly, and explained without raising his head:

"I'm two steps away from you now, you won't use a hidden weapon, because at such a close distance, if you use a hidden weapon, you will hurt yourself, not to mention that if you have a strange movement, the dagger in my hand can still kill you, I'm just pregnant, and it's not that the internal strength of the martial arts on my body is useless."

In this case, it is more than enough to beat him, originally their prince's mansion was heavily guarded, but because tonight was special, Emperor Xiao had just died, and he was worried that there were people in Luoyang City, so tonight, under the dispatch of Li Hanning, most of the secret guards in the entire prince's mansion were transferred to the palace to protect Xiao Ce, but Liang Zhou seemed to know this situation, and specially calculated that at this time, he sent the man in black in front of him to deliver the letter.

If it was someone else, Li Hanning might think that he had deliberately encountered this time, but it would be different if he changed Liang Zhou, he was also an opponent for a month, and she still knew something about Liang Zhou.

The man in black hesitated for a moment after hearing what she said, and then smiled quietly:

"You are really interesting, no wonder you are the only female general in Da Zhou."

Li Hanning has already opened the letter here, Liang Zhou's handwriting is clear, the handwriting is clear, and the corners are hidden.

Just after reading the first sentence, Li Hanning couldn't help frowning again.

The man in black saw that her face changed, and he felt a little bad in his heart, but he didn't dare to disturb her reading the letter, so he had to open his mouth and ask tentatively in a low voice:

"Does the general think there is anything wrong with this letter? General Liang Zhou handed it to me immediately after writing this letter, I didn't open it, of course, I didn't dare to open it with my identity, and no one has touched it along the way, this letter was indeed written to you by General Liang Zhou himself, you can rest assured that General. ”

The reason why Li Hanning frowned was not whether the letter was written by Liang Zhou, or whether the content of the letter was related to her life experience.

She read it word by word, Liang Zhou's letter was not groundless, she had been in the Li family since she was a child, when she was about four or five years old, she couldn't remember many things when she was a child, but there was a scene, and it was very impressive that the firelight in the sky had appeared in her dreams.

Liang Zhou's letter told her that Li Hanning was very likely to be from southern Xinjiang, and Liang Zhou had also been investigating since he had fought in southern Xinjiang for a few months, and now this matter finally has some eyebrows, and in this letter, the place he described is almost very similar to what Li Hanning recalled in his dream.

For so many years, Li Hanning has walked through the mountains and rivers of the continent by fate, from the north to Chang'an, and has never encountered similar buildings in many places, but she has forgotten that there is also a place in southern Xinjiang, she has never been to southern Xinjiang, and many things are just hearsay, when she was closest to their southern Xinjiang in her life, that is, the great war, but at that time, she was also separated by a river, and she could not see the local customs and houses in southern Xinjiang.

In this way, everything that Liang Zhouxin said is very likely.

If only she could find her childhood place.

The last sentence of the letter was that Liang Zhou hoped to have the opportunity to meet her alone in the future.

According to the rules, Liang Zhou and their people from Luoyang should leave tonight, and they should have left Chang'an City by now, and he said that this future is to hope that she can come to southern Xinjiang in the future.

Li Hanning was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and said to the black-clothed man in front of him:

"I know, I'll accept the letter, you go, you go back the way you came, and you won't find you sometimes."
