Chapter 205 Assassination
At night, the military camp stationed outside the capital fell into a deep sleep, Xia Jing put her hair back on her head, dressed in black riding clothes, covered her face to avoid the guards who were keeping vigil, and quietly left the camp.
Bypassing the place where the city gate was guarded by more people, Xia Jing walked lightly to a relatively remote city wall, and let go of her divine sense, and there were only a few people on duty around her.
Nice, right here.
In the dark night, the tightly wrapped figure jumped up the city wall, silently, and no one noticed.
Flying again, he jumped from the city wall to a roof on the opposite side.
The rows of eaves in the capital are like Xia Jing's stepping stones, and she flies on the eaves, like a raccoon cat that finds its prey in the dark night.
The posture is vigorous, and the gallop is like the wind.
Her goal is clear, the palace is located in the central axis of the city.
After the watchman entered the house, Xia Jing climbed over the high palace wall.
After the eighth prince of Beidi sent away several generals, he went to bed early because he still had many things to do tomorrow.
Not to mention that Beidi people are big and confident, and when the soldiers are in the city, they still eat, drink, and sleep, and they do not delay their daily life at all.
Xia Jing went to the Heart Cultivation Hall and walked around at random, and when she saw that the people inside were asleep, she searched for other places.
At the beginning of the emergency relocation of the capital, many belongings in the palace, including the entire capital, did not have time to be moved, and some things could not be moved, so they were all left in the capital.
After Beidi occupied Gyeonggi, many of the things they thought were valuable were transported back to the grasslands in batches.
For example, the iron pots, knives and other iron products in the kitchens of every household in the capital are considered scarce by the Beidi people, and a lot of them are transported back to the grassland.
Not to mention the grain, grass and cloth, except for the food and clothing left in the capital, all the other looted ones were transported back to the grassland.
On the contrary, the gold, silver and jewelry were left to be transported at the end, and only some time ago a batch of grain was transported back to the grassland, and the gold, silver and jewelry looted by the Beidi people from all over Gyeonggi were piled up in a palace.
This palace is not far from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and there are quite a few guards on duty.
Xia Jing didn't know the situation here, and at first when she saw so many people guarding her, she thought that there was a great person living inside.
As a result, it took a lot of effort to sneak in, but I found that it was full of treasures, "This is the rhythm of getting rich!" ”
"Tsk, after collecting so many treasures, they have dug up all the underground treasure rooms in the mansions of the officials of the major families in the capital?"
Xia Jing thought so, looked back at the figure outside swaying under the faint lantern, and then looked at the mountains of treasures in the dark room.
Tsk, I'm sorry for her identity if I don't move out.
Xia Jing came to ancient times, and her life was very comfortable compared to the end of the world.
Her space utilization is not high, and she rarely uses her own space under normal circumstances, but some of her valuable personal items, as well as commemorative items, are included in the space.
With the slow cultivation of the days in Lingnan, the space has recovered the area of the previous life.
Some of the materials collected in the previous life were all piled up in an open space, and there was very little food, only a few that were originally placed in the kitchen of the villa.
Most of the machines, tools, and daily necessities collected from the end of the world are piled up in the open space of the space, and the miscellaneous items have not been cleaned up.
Some of the tools and daily necessities can be taken out and used, and the machines can be used mechanically, but most of them are electric or fuel-driven, which could not be used in ancient times, which is a pity.
Xia Jing circled around the pile of treasures, collected all the boxes and the treasures that fell on the ground into the space, and then looked back at the empty hall, she smiled silently, flashing!
Coming out of the main hall, Xia Jing touched back to the Heart Cultivation Hall again, only this time she felt that there were four strong breaths in the four corners of the main hall.
Now she didn't dare to be careless, and carefully touched the heart cultivation hall through the same way, and a big man slept on the dragon bed where the emperor slept.
You don't have to think about it to know that this man should be the leader of Beidi, the eighth prince who led the army to capture the Gyeonggi region last time.
Xia Jing first used her divine sense to probe and found that the man was asleep, so she slowly walked out of the darkness.
Because there was an oil lamp standing next to the dragon bed, although the light was dim, Xia Jing didn't dare to get too close.
If she stepped into the range of the light, her shadow would be reflected in the window, and the guards on duty outside the temple and the masters in the shadows would immediately notice it.
Although the distance was a little farther, it did not affect her to carry out assassination.
A dagger that sharpened iron like clay was thrown out, and it was pinned to the man's neck precisely under the control of Xia Jing's spiritual ability.
A knife directly cut the man's throat, and if the dagger was a little wider, the man's neck might be cut off.
The man didn't even make a sound, and he was silent.
Xia Jing left the palace and did not go out of the city directly, but went to Yamen Street, that is, Suzaku Street in front of the palace noon gate.
This street is close to the palace section, where the central yamen are concentrated, and the yamen of the six departments and twenty-four divisions of the three provinces are located here, and it can be said that the Beijing officials of the court basically work here.
In the warehouse area of Tobe, tonight was not as quiet as imagined, but the voices were boiling.
"Hurry up and seal the packed grain, and the people behind will load the sealed grain into the wagon."
"General, we've been busy all day, we're tired, can you take a break?"
"Don't think about being lazy, the grain in these warehouses in the back, we must complete the bagging and loading before dawn the day after tomorrow, if you dare to guarantee that it can be loaded before dawn the day after tomorrow, then I won't urge you, how about it?"
How is it?
Not how!
Looking at the soldiers who were honestly bagging and loading the car, the general snorted coldly, "Just after eating, don't find these reasons for lack of strength and hunger, speed up and give me a good job!" ”
"You must know that if we pack an extra bag of grain today, our families in the grassland will be able to eat one more bite of food, and instead of piling up these grains here and burning them, it is better to decorate them and transport them back to the grassland so that our parents can eat more!"
The last sentence hit everyone's heart, didn't they come out to fight just to grab more supplies and go back to keep their families fed and clothed?
Xia Jing lay on the roof, looking at the energetic Beidi people below, and frowned slightly, there are too many people to start!
But let these grains be cheaper for the Beidi people, and she is unwilling!
"Meow!"
A cat's meow came from the roof next to her, Xia Jing followed the prestige, and her heart jumped, when did this person lie here?
On the roof next to it, if the person lying there has bad eyesight, he really can't find it.
The person on the roof next to him gestured to Xia Jing, and climbed over lightly.
When Xia Jing approached, she retreated a little distance, obviously wary of him, but fortunately, the other party stopped two meters away.
"Can you get acquainted?"
The other party spoke, and it was a mellow male voice.
Xia Jing's gaze swept over his vigorous figure, and he shook his head, both of them were covered with their heads and faces covered all over their bodies, and they couldn't see the light, so why bother to know themselves.
The man's gaze swept over Xia Jing's body, and he looked like a woman, although he didn't speak, he was sure that it was a woman.
The fact that a woman can have such a high level of skill aroused his interest.
"Hey~"
Xia Jing immediately stared at him vigilantly, and her body made a posture that was ready to attack at any time.
The man waved his hand in a small way and whispered, "Don't be nervous, we are not enemies." ”
Xia Jing's eyes were bright with suspicion, and the man let him see clearly through the light of the torch below.
"I have no ill intentions towards you."
Xia Jing snorted coldly in her heart, bad people will not be engraved on the door of the brain, knowing people and faces but not hearts, who knows what kind of ghost this man is?
Seeing that Xia Jing still ignored him, the man scratched his head: "Do you know why the people below stayed up all night to load grain?" ”
Xia Jing glanced at him, this was exactly what she was confused about, and she had just heard the general below say that the grain should be packed before dawn the day after tomorrow.
That is to say, this batch of grain will be transported away the day after tomorrow, and the Beidi people are preparing to escape?
When the man saw him throw out the most tempting question, Xia Jing ignored him and muttered: "This woman is really boring!" ”
Because of the appearance of this man in black, it was inconvenient to do something, Xia Jing observed that there was no other discovery, and flew back to retreat.
A few neat movements disappeared, and the man looked at the disappearing night, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
Xia Jing found that the man did not follow, so she took a detour to the grain warehouse, passed by several warehouses where no one was bagged, and used her spiritual ability to collect the grain separated by a wall into the space.
Due to the excessive consumption of mental power due to the excessive consumption of mental power, Xia Jing did not dare to go to other places to visit, and this time she went out of the city directly.
Back in her tent, Xia Jing's head hurt so much that she fell asleep directly into bed.
——
The Palace Nourishes the Heart.
Dongfang spit out the belly of the fish, and the attendants on duty outside quietly entered the hall, wanting to blow out the oil lamp that had been burning all night.
It's just that as soon as he turned to the inner room, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and then his face turned pale, and he almost knelt down.
"Come on, come on!"
As soon as he spoke, his voice was trembling, praying that nothing had happened to the inner sanctum, all of which was his hallucination.
His voice drew the squires, and the warriors' noses were more sensitive than those of the close attendants, and they smelled the smell of blood in the air as soon as they entered the door.
They were shocked: "Blanch! Something happened! ”
The attendant who stopped at the door was instantly pushed down and slammed against the wall, and both nostrils were bleeding.
The tragic scene in the hall made the guards who rushed in feel as if they had been immobilized, and they were all stunned, their heads buzzing.
It's over, it's all over!
They all have to be buried with them!
The eighth prince of Beidi was brutally murdered, and the assassin was able to kill their eighth prince under the nose of a master, which shows the sharpness of his skills and the high level of martial arts.
The assassination of the eighth prince is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that the treasure house guarded by layers of guards was completely emptied overnight.
And the guards didn't notice it, which is terrifying!
Disappearing into thin air, it makes people have to think about it a lot!
The silent murder of the leader was a wake-up call to the other generals.
This imperial city is haunted, how dare they live, they don't want to stay here for a moment, especially when they miss the grassland very much in their hearts.
So when the grain warehouse had not been found and the grain disappeared, the Beidi generals recruited soldiers and horses to flee from Xuanwu Gate one after another.
On the second floor of a deserted inn on the street.
The man dressed in black saw the long line under the street through the slightly open window.
"When did Beidi become so weak?" The man was puzzled: "It's just that I've been besieged for a few days, and I'm running away with my tail between my legs?" ”
By the time the anomaly on the city wall was discovered outside the city, it was already midday.
"Princess, princess, Beidi barbarian escaped!"
Ye Fei couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and walked quickly into the tent to report to Xia Jing.
Hongmei had breakfast, and when she heard Ye Fei's words, she looked at him in disbelief, "Captain Ye, what you said is true, where did Beidi Barbarian escape?" Why did you escape? ”
Last night, she used too much mental power, causing her head to hurt like a pinprick, but now after a night's rest, her mental power has recovered.
But Xia Jing still has no spirit, and the whole person looks a little cowardly.
She listened to Ye Fei's words, and after a little pondering, she guessed that it was probably the chain reaction caused by her killing the eighth prince last night.
Beidi's soldiers and horses will never leave the capital, maybe she will visit the generals' bedrooms every night.
In ten and a half days, it is possible that the deputy generals of Beidi and the generals above will be killed.
At that time, the Beidi soldiers and horses were leaderless, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and it was only a matter of time before they recaptured the capital.
"Princess, are you happy to hear this news?" Hongmei saw that her face was calm, so she asked.
Xia Jing took a sip of peanut sauce and nodded: "Happy!" ”
Hongmei took a xiaolongbao and put it in the bowl in front of her: "Look at the slave, the princess should be tired from this time, and her body has not recovered, so she will feel very tired when she wakes up!" ”
Xia Jing ignored her chatter, but instructed Ye Fei: "Since the Beidi barbarians have escaped from the capital, you let Feng Tu send soldiers and horses to pursue and beat the water dogs." ”
"Yes!"
"You let them remember that after chasing fifty miles, they must retreat, and be careful that the Beidi barbarian dog jumps off the wall in a hurry!"
"One more thing, send soldiers and horses into the city and comb through the streets of the city, so that no fish will slip through the net."
At this time, Xia Jing couldn't help but think of the man in black last night, but she didn't know what kind of force he was?
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." Ye Fei was ordered to retire.
Xia Jing's soldiers and horses rushed into the city, scattered one after another, and searched in a carpet manner, but anyone who encountered suspicious people had to be arrested and investigated.
In fact, when the capital moved south, the people of the city had basically fled.
At this time, if other people are found in the city, they are basically people with questionable identities, or spies of various forces.
For example, the man in black I met last night.
Although everyone covered their faces last night, the man's male hormones came to her face, and Xia Jing was sure that it was a young man!
Young men?
Young body?
Xia Jing looked down at her figure, and she really envied him for having a young body.
Hongmei smiled and asked, "Princess, is our original intention of coming to Gyeonggi this time completed?" ”
Xia Jing glanced at her, and smiled in a good mood: "It's half done!" ”
Driving the Beidi barbarians of Gyeonggi to the grasslands was only the first step, and this area was plagued by the Beidi barbarians for a year.
It can be said that this land is full of holes, the loss of people is serious, and the people have been taken captive by the Beidi people.
Settling the people, arming the borders, repairing the city walls, and arranging agricultural production are complicated and trivial, and it takes a lot of effort to do them well.
How can the little girl say it is simple!
