Emperor Shengning was in a good mood today. In the morning, Duke Dingguo received news from Canghan Guards. Canghan Guards took the initiative this time and assembled an army in Yaomu. Before they could launch an attack, they attacked with lightning speed. To cover up the situation, they sent [-] elite troops to attack Yao Mu's resting vanguard first, breaking the habit of only defending but not attacking in the previous two years.

When Yao Mu reacted, he immediately retreated into the city wall and waited for work as usual, causing Yao Mu's soldiers to scream with morale and chaos, but they no longer dared to attack.

"This not only represents that we have won a battle, but also shows that our Daning soldiers are brave enough to try, brave and resourceful, and their combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved. The Yaomu soldiers have always been strong and strong. Incomparable, our soldiers can inflict heavy damage on them after two days of urgent march, and then withdraw immediately. This was something we neither dared to think nor do before. It seems that Duke Dingguo is right, Xin Zhou does have a good general. !”

Xin Zhou is currently the commander of Canghan Guard. He took office at the beginning of this year, and it has been less than a year.

For this happy event, Emperor Shengning made a special trip to Xinsheng Palace for lunch and said these words to Concubine Xin.

Because I was happy, I ate more lunch and took a nap in Xinsheng Palace. I just woke up and was about to go to Ningsheng Palace to deal with the memorial when I heard Eunuch Rong reporting that King Ping and King Jin were killed on the street. Someone assassinated.

Emperor Shengning threw the memorial in his hand aside and stood up, "Where is the person? How is it?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Highness King Ping and His Highness King Jin are both intact. Your Highnesses are waiting outside the palace now!" Eunuch Rong hurriedly replied.

"Let them in quickly!"

"His Royal Highness King Xuanping and His Highness King Jin enter the palace!"

The robes on King Ping and King Jin were still gorgeous, but they were stained with different stains. Even King Jin was splattered with a lot of blood. Of course, this was not King Jin's own blood, but the blood he saw Yang Qingmo and Geng Shuhuai hit. He was so happy that he realized that his three-legged cat skills had improved after returning from Yuyao Mountain, so he tentatively grabbed a sword, approached Yang Qingmo, and stabbed an assassin.

Then the sword he picked up casually made a crisp sound in the air. He suddenly felt that the sword in his hand was much lighter. After realizing it later, he realized that his sword was broken by the assassin. At that time, the assassin's The sword was already close to his heart.

At that moment, what King Jin was thinking was that he would die if he believed too much.

But now that he could stand in front of Emperor Sheng Ning, he was naturally saved. Yang Qingmo wiped the assassin's neck with his sword and sprayed King Jin's blood all over him.

"Lao Wu, what are you..."

Emperor Shengning, who had heard Eunuch Rong say that his two sons were fine, had already sat down. When he saw King Jin's appearance, he stood up again in shock, walked quickly to King Jin, and looked at his son up and down.

King Jin immediately said: "Father, don't worry, my son is fine. The blood on my body is not my son's, but the assassin's."

Emperor Shengning felt relieved when he saw that King Jin was in a sorry state, but his face was rosy and he was in good spirits. His eyes were clear and alert, and he obviously didn't look injured. He frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

When he asked this question, his eyes were slightly stern, looking from King Jin's face to King Ping's.

Since King Ping entered the Ningsheng Palace, Emperor Shengning has finally looked at him face to face, and it was because he wanted to ask about the story and reason of the assassination. His stern gaze stung King Ping's eyes, and the hatred in his heart also followed. Crazy growth.

However, there was no change on his face, and he handed over his hand respectfully again, "Father, I heard that a restaurant cooked very good roast goose two days ago. I remembered that my fifth brother loved this dish, so I invited my fifth brother. We went to taste it together, but we didn’t expect to encounter such a thing on the way back home. This matter was my fault, and my fifth brother was implicated."

"Third brother, what are you talking about? The assassin was not sent by you and has nothing to do with you. Besides, I don't blame you."

When King Ping said this, King Jin couldn't acquiesce and hurriedly followed.

"Tell me what happened!" Emperor Shengning frowned. He had no time to listen to the two sons being polite to each other here.

King Jin glanced at King Ping, who lowered his head and seemed to have no intention of speaking. King Jin was about to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, King Ping said: "Father, this is what happened..."

There was almost no room for King Jin to add anything. King Ping recounted the whole thing from beginning to end in a slow and slow manner, and finally said: "Father, that Miss Tao may have been implicated by us. Her carriage He is behind the carriage of his son. Perhaps the assassin mistakenly recognized the carriage." King Jin glanced at King Ping and didn't understand why he said this.

In fact, Prince Ping regretted it after saying these words. The matter had already reached this level. Even if Lao Wu didn't say much, his father would not treat Tao Yuyu lightly just based on his words. Revealed.

In the end, with his father's shrewdness, he will definitely doubt his intentions.

I was still too impulsive.

It's just that the words have been spoken and it is difficult to take them back. Just when King Ping was thinking about how to round out those words, Emperor Shengning ordered: "Let everyone waiting outside the palace come in!"

Eunuch Rong immediately raised his voice and preached: "Everyone outside the hall please come into the hall to have an audience!"

Ren Qi, commander of Ningdu Guard, Lu Congting of Ningdu Prefecture, and Ye Shixiao, commander of Wucheng Army and Horse Division, took the lead, followed by Yang Qingmo, Geng Shuhuai, then Zhan Pei, Wu Juan and Tao Yuyu, and finally, one dead and two wounded were carried to the palace by the guards. assassin.

The group of people bowed first and stood up after Emperor Shengning Daoping. Geng Shuhuai raised his eyes slightly and glanced up. After finally entering the palace, he naturally wanted to see what the emperor looked like.

When he saw this, he was shocked that he actually knew the emperor.

Geng Shuhuai subconsciously used his arm to turn Yang Qingmo next to him and told him that the emperor was the gentle middle-aged man they had met on the day when the results were announced in Qiu Wei.

Fortunately, his mind was still clear and he only stumbled without speaking.

Yang Qingmo naturally discovered the identity of Emperor Sheng Ning.

However, he was not as surprised as Geng Shuhuai. After all, that man was accompanied by a master. His temperament was different from that of ordinary martial arts people. He was more like the master in the inner circle that his master said. He had some guesses about the identity of Emperor Sheng Ning. , although I am not sure.

"You three, go track down the assassin now and find the person who was behind it, as well as the tea shop, restaurant and silk shop. Check them all for me. I will present the results in three days."

Regarding Ren Qi, Lu Congting, and Ye Shixiao, Emperor Shengning was very straightforward. As for what to do if no results were found after three days, that would be a matter for three days.

The three of them followed the order and took away the assassin who was killed and two wounded.

This is the only evidence I have now.

After giving instructions to the three ministers, Emperor Shengning looked at Yang Qingmo and others.

Just now, King Ping only said that he was rescued by two strong men with strong martial arts skills, but did not specify the identities of these two people. So when Emperor Shengning saw that they were people he knew, he suddenly laughed.

"It turns out it's you two, do you still remember me?" Emperor Shengning asked.

Yang Qingmo said: "Go back to the emperor, remember!"

Geng Shuhuai quickly replied.

Emperor Shengning nodded, "It seems that we are very destined. The two of you saved my two sons today. Naturally, I will reward you heavily. But I have to find out what happened first. I heard from King Ping that the assassins' The arrow first hit a girl named Tao, is she her?"

Emperor Shengning looked at Tao Yuyu standing between Zhan Pei and Wu Juan, and accurately recognized her as the girl Tao mentioned by King Ping. (End of chapter)
