Chapter Eighty-Seven: Ming Lanying is assassinated
When the coachman and the deputy envoy caught up with the carriage, they found that the carriage had run back to the Commander's Mansion safe and sound, and the guards at the door saw that they were in a mess, and hurriedly beckoned their brothers to come forward and carry them.
The deputy envoy grabbed one of the guards, "Husband, madam!" ”
"Madame! Just as I wanted to ask my brothers to help you, you ran back first, and Madame also told you that if you caught up, I would take you to heal quickly, and stop talking for now, and walk and carry you in! ”
Hearing that the lady was good, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense spirits relaxed, and the pain in their bodies made the two unable to move, and they were carried by the guards.
In the bedroom of Ming Lanying in the backyard, Hebai hugged Ming Lanying tightly and comforted him, "Sister-in-law, you are really scared to death of me, you shouldn't let you go out with the cub and the junior alone, this group of people is really tired, and they dare to assassinate you in the blue sky and daylight!" When I find out who it is, I have to make his whole family look good! ”
Ming Lanying took a deep breath and tried to calm her beating heart, the feeling of the rest of her life after the catastrophe made her hands and feet still a little weak, but she subconsciously grabbed the people around her, so that her heart was more steady, "No, it's okay, I'm fine, what about the deputy envoy and the old horse?" Did you come back? I don't know how many people came at me, in case they didn't have an enemy......"
"Don't worry, you've already asked people to check, and you won't be able to come back if they have something, right?"
As soon as Hebai finished speaking, a secret guard knocked on the window, "Mrs. Hui, a total of twenty assassins have all been killed, and the deputy envoy and the old horse are fine, please rest assured." ”
Hebai patted the person in his arms, "Sister-in-law, look, I'll just say it!" The Commander's Mansion does not raise idlers, and there are only a few assassins, but they can still fight with peace of mind. ”
Ming Lanying was completely relieved, and weakly nested in Hebai's arms to empty herself.
Lao Ma was the coachman of the Commander's Mansion, but she didn't expect that the coachman, who seemed to be loyal and honest on the surface, could actually cut twenty assassins with a knife, and sure enough, no one in the Commander's Mansion was superfluous.
Ming Lanying is still a little scared now, this is probably the closest she is to death, the dazzling knife light and the sound of the knife slashing on the wall of the car next to her, if it weren't for the wolf cub and the wolf's blood, I'm afraid that she wouldn't be able to bite through the assassin's neck.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, it's okay, it's okay......"
Hebai patted her back again and again, thinking back to the scene at the gate of the Commander's Mansion just now, and saw the wolf cub on the wheel of the carriage ferociously biting the neck of a masked assassin, the bright red blood stained half of the carriage, and the wolf cub's snow-white hair was stained with blood-red stains, and she was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out.
Xiao San came back early, but it was also covered in blood, but Hebai didn't think much about it, and was driven by Hebai three times before rushing to the running water in the garden to clean.
Originally, I pinched the time to wait for Ming Lanying to come back, but when I came back, there was a big surprise, the guards at the door were dumbfounded, and they hurriedly kicked down the dead assassin, and wanted to drive away the wolf cub, but they were stopped by Hebai, and the wolf cub obediently rubbed the blood stain on Hebai's hand.
"That's a wolf cub raised by the lady, so I can take it down and clean it before sending it to the yard."
The guard was shocked, and the guard nodded obediently, "Yes!" ”
Only the dark guards in the mansion knew about the existence of the wolf cubs, and it was a coincidence that Ming Lanying went out today without the secret guards, and the secret guards were all guarding in all corners of the mansion.
Seeing that there were knife marks on the wall of the car, Hebai hurriedly climbed into the carriage and hugged the Ming Lanying, who was a little soft, and checked it from head to toe before he was relieved.
Ming Lanying still had palpitations, "It's okay, it seems that you have to be careful in the future, this time they didn't succeed in the assassination, I don't know if there will be a next time, we have to find out who it is first." ”
Hebai gritted his teeth and said: "Who else, except for the Ming family, is from Prince Heng's side, who dares to come to you, probably because he wants to pinch my brother, no matter how my brother treats you, you are a pawn that can deal with my brother in their eyes." ”
It is true that except for the Ming family, it is from Prince Heng's side, and now Ye Jielu is the emperor's tiger claw in the capital, cleaning up the thorns for the emperor, and the Ming family must first deal with Ye Jielu if they want to help Prince Heng rebel.
Ming Lanying rubbed her face and cheered up again, the Ming family wants to use her to deal with Ye Juelu, she definitely can't let them get their wish, this time it's her, what if it's Ning'er next time?
"By the way, what about Ning'er?"
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Ning'er is practicing sword swinging in the martial arts training ground, and she doesn't know yet."
There are not many masters in the commander's mansion, and there are still half of the empty rooms in the backyard, Ye Jielu thinks that it is useless to be empty, so he asked Steward Wang to dismantle the other half of the backyard and change the martial arts training ground.
"That's good, you must be optimistic about Ning'er during this time, Ning'er will take someone with you when you go out."
"I know, I know, today is a lesson, sister-in-law, you have to take people with you wherever you go when you go out in the future! Fortunately, you're fine, otherwise my brother would have slaughtered the Ming family, and the ancestral grave would have been dug for him! ”
Ning Er didn't see Hebai when she came out of the martial arts training ground, she was looking for her everywhere, and the secret guard saw it and showed up and took him to Ming Lanying's bedroom.
Ning Er entered in surprise with small steps, "Mother! ”
Ming Lanying had already packed up her emotions and changed her clothes again, and she couldn't see anything wrong, when she saw Ning Er trotting over, she picked him up, and felt the soft little man in her arms, and the sense of steadiness in her heart came back.
"Baby Ning'er, are you tired from practicing for so long?"
"Not tired!" Ning Er shook her head obediently, not seeing the cub who was following Ming Lanying, "Mother, did Daddy have lunch?" What about cubs? ”
"Well, your daddy eats well, the cub is going to take a bath, and I'll come over later."
Ming Lanying glanced at Hebai, and motioned for her to deal with the affairs of Lao Ma and the deputy envoy, but Hebai scratched her head and didn't understand.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Ming Lanying felt that she was whimsical, "...... You go and see the deputy envoy. ”
"Oh oh, I'll go right away!"
Hebai neatly went to the front yard to find the two of them, and before Ye Jielu came back, she directly discussed something with the two.
Ning Er took Ming Lanying's hand and went to the small study, "Mother, the deputy envoy uncle is also here?" ”
"Well, your father asked the deputy envoy uncle to send me back, and recently someone wanted to bully your father, so we have to be careful and not let the bad guys succeed."
Ning Er sat in front of the small bookcase and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Ning Er understands, Daddy said that the most important thing is for your mother!" ”
Ming Lanying looked at Ning Er's pink and jade face and fell into deep thought, Ning Er's enlightenment book was picked by her, but the further study after the enlightenment was taken over by Ye Juelu, Ning Er was sensible and smart, so she occasionally asked to check it.
In addition, after starting to practice martial arts, Ning Er's small body gradually opened, and her delicate little face and demeanor became more and more like a copy of Xiao Ye's Absolute Law, especially when she said this.
Ming Lanying's feelings for Ye Jielu are temporarily in a lover relationship with each other, and she doesn't know how much she likes him, but the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.
lowered his head and kissed Ning'er on the forehead, "With Ning'er here, my mother will be fine." ”
"Hmm!"
After Hebai asked the coachman Lao Ma and the deputy envoy about the original matter, the deputy envoy bandaged the wound and found a horse and rushed back to the Praetorian Guard camp.
When Ye Jielu had a meeting with several battalion commanders in the afternoon, he found that the deputy envoy had not returned, his sword eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he hurriedly arranged the affairs and saw the deputy envoy who rushed back as soon as he left the camp.
With sharp eyes, he found the deputy envoy hanging one arm from afar, and strode forward with a calm face, and the deputy envoy hurriedly reined in his horse and jumped down, and reported the matter in three or two sentences.
Ye Jielu patted him, and directly turned over on the horse, "It's hard work, go back and rest, and ask someone to go to the government to pull the assassin's body to the criminal department for investigation, and tell them that they can't find out all of them." ”
"Yes!"
Ming Lanying thought that Ye Jielu would come back in the evening as usual, but she didn't expect that not long after the deputy envoy left, Ye Jielu hurried back.
Ming Lanying was reading with Ning Er, when she heard the door of the study open suddenly, a gust of wind blew in front of her, and Ye Jielu's nervous face appeared in front of her.
A pair of big hands checked from head to foot, the same inspection posture as Hebai, Ning Er looked at it in surprise, Ming Lanying hurriedly raised her hand to drag his face, and her clear eyes looked at him calmly.
"Calm down, I'm fine, okay."
Ye Jielu breathed a long sigh of relief, even if the deputy envoy told him that his wife was fine, but he was still afraid, relieved his strength, lowered his head against her shoulder and neck, and breathed in the familiar fragrance to calm his beating heart.
"It's okay, I'll deal with this matter, don't be afraid."
"Hmm."
Ming Lanying half-hugged his shoulders and patted him soothingly, it felt good to have someone to rely on.
Ning Er held her little face and looked at her father and mother who were snuggled together, her father and mother seemed to have a better relationship recently than before, and shook her feet happily.
Taiyi was busy leading people to deal with the outrageous 400,000 rebel rebels in the capital, and Hebai was transferred by Ye Jielu to find out the mastermind behind the assassins.
Hebai puffed out his face, "Brother, I can only pick up a knife and cut people, I haven't done this!" ”
Ye Jielu glanced at her lightly, "I won't go to school, I have Tailiu to assist you, how can you start a family and start a business after being idle day by day, and ask your sister-in-law to support you for a lifetime?" ”
Hebai jumped to his feet in anger, but he couldn't refute it, so he angrily took Tailiu to investigate the murderer, and it was found out in two days, and he also eliminated the small organization of assassin killers by the way.
In the study in the middle of the night, Hebai came in through the window with a sword and scolded to report the news to Ye Jielu.
Not surprisingly, it was the Ming family, but the accident was that Ming Jiazhen of the Ming family bought a murder.
Ye Jielu read the detailed page written at a glance and three lines, the small organization has a gossip heart, why did the employer buy murder and checked, Hebai asked clearly one by one, and the reason for the matter came out.
Hebai wiped the bloodstained sword, "This Ming Jiazhen is really dead, brother, did you do it over there?" I didn't do it, I rode a horse to kill it, and I did it myself. ”
Ye Jielu burned the paper with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Ningshuang's people watch it closely, and they will do it in a few days." ”
The silver-white blade was wiped clean and reflective, and Crane Bai put away the sword with a sigh, "Then what should I do about this matter?" Is it the head of the family? ”
"Of course, she was raised by the old thief Ming." The candle flame softened the coldness between Ye Jielu's eyebrows, "The court has been arguing for two days, and it can be regarded as arguing for the charter, so I will persuade you to surrender first, but Yongzhou City has come to report that Prince Heng is already ordering troops." ”
Hebai was excited, "You're going to fight?" ”
"It's soon, the imperial city's troops are not enough, the emperor's intention is not to block Yongzhou City, just wait in the imperial city."
Hebai's eyes lit up, "Brother, can I get on?" If you can't go to the battlefield, you can kill a few rebels. ”
Ye Jielu was silent for a moment, it is usually a man's business to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Hebai may have been the reason why he brought up since he was a child, his martial arts are strong, and his ideas are also straightforward and a little lacking in heart, no matter how he looks at it, it doesn't look like he is married, but it seems that he can marry strongly, and Ming Lanying has plans to let her start a family by herself.
"It's a big deal, and in the future, I will forcibly marry a son-in-law who will come to the door to block everyone's mouth." This is Ming Lanying's original words, and it is difficult for Ye Jielu to disagree with it now.
When Hebai heard that he could kill the rebels in a fight, his eyes widened, and he was excited.
“…… Yes, when the time comes, ask the emperor for a military merit. ”
With his face and Hebai's family background, killing rebels and protecting the imperial city can also have a military merit, it is not that there are no female generals in all dynasties, but there are very few, and only one in the three dynasties, so people forget that they can have female generals and female officials.
The next day, the court elected a lobbyist to persuade Prince Heng to surrender, Master Ming.
The charter was written by Ye Juelu with a breath, and the words he said were chiseled, and the emperor felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed, and said to Master Ming seriously.
"Aiqing, this matter is very important, there is no talent in the court, I can only rely on Aiqing, Uncle Huang will listen to two sentences in the face of your three dynasty elders, and when this matter is over, I will restore your official position as prime minister, this matter cannot be delayed, and I will leave tomorrow!" It's hard to love Qing. ”
Old Master Ming still wanted to shirk it, but the emperor directly pressed down what he wanted to say, and the decision was set, and everyone immediately complimented him and cut him off.
Old Master Ming opened his mouth and had nothing to say, when he left this imperial city, there was no one to cooperate with Prince Heng, and the connections of the rebels in the dark in the capital gradually became chaotic and withered, and the few people who took over his command last night also disappeared, but the other party also paid the price, and he didn't have time to seize the evidence to investigate, and before he had time to promote the person who took over his command, there was this incident.
Two days ago, Mrs. Ye Ling, his eldest granddaughter who was not in the climate encountered an assassin on the street, and this matter made a fuss, but it seems that the mastermind behind it has not been found out, but the Ming family has been closely watched for some reason in the past two days, he has a bad premonition, and now he is slapped by the emperor to go to Yongzhou City as a lobbyist, anxious but unable to excuse himself, and his angry old face is red.
The emperor specially sent a powerful father-in-law to urge, and the old man Ming couldn't even send a letter to inform him in private.
Ye Jielu was ordered by the emperor to send a small team of the Praetorian Guard to escort Master Ming, and Ye Jielu personally sent him out of the city.
Old Master Ming looked at him fiercely before leaving, his old face turned green, and he gritted his teeth and said before leaving: "Thank you for the emperor and Commander Ye's concern, the old man will definitely return with Prince Heng." ”
Ye Juelu's face did not change and bowed, "If you can't persuade it, it's okay, the emperor still has countermeasures, and it's important to take care of your body when you are old." ”
Old Man Ming snorted lightly, flicked his sleeves and got into the carriage.
On the second day after the Ming Lao was temporarily sent to the capital by the emperor, the Criminal Department pointed out that the assassins who assassinated Ming Lanying a few days ago were all invited by the Ming family.
Ye Jielu and the emperor glanced at each other, and the emperor smiled with satisfaction.
