Chapter 62 Assassination

(Tomorrow will be the time to release the new book list, please recommend the ticket!)

The night was deep, silent as water, and chilly.

In the Jiulizhuang Dengzhou Unity Army camp, there was the sound of fighting, and the cold moonlight poured on the ground like mercury.In the camp, white tents are dotted all over, like white sandy beaches under the moonlight.Between the tents, the frosty mist like a white gauze was blown by the wind, covering the camp hazy.After a day of hard training, the united soldiers had already fallen asleep after feeding and drinking the horses and donkeys, and there were high and low grunting sounds in each tent.The united people who were in charge of the night also sat listlessly and dozed off in front of the fire, and the camp was eerily silent.

In the tent in Zuoyidu in the southwest corner, Li Jing tossed and turned, and did not feel sleepy until midnight.After counting tens of thousands of sheep and still not being able to get any sleepiness, Li Jing simply sat up, sat cross-legged in the dark, and carefully sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his head.

It has been half a month since I arrived in Penglai, and many things have happened during this time.Being accepted as disciples by the governor and Sima, it can be said that Cui Yunqing and Yu Yu are now Li Jing's biggest backers.Moreover, don't drive Zhaowang Li Rui, Cui Yunqing and Yu Yu are also allies, and they are also a backer for Li Jing.However, after becoming the assassin and the others, Li Jing now inevitably stood on the opposite side of Feng Yanqing.

Before, Li Jing was not willing to stir himself into the wrestling between the two great powers of Cui Feng.Because he always felt that when gods fight, mortals suffer.He is just a low-level officer of the United Army, and he is likely to become cannon fodder.Regarding Feng's uncle and nephew, Li Jing has always been cautious and tried hard to maintain a relationship with them.But, now it seems that things backfired.Li Jing thought this way, but Feng Liang didn't think that way.No matter how he forbears and backs down, he has already been labeled Cui Yunqing.Previously, because of the transfer of military merits, he barely maintained the superficial relationship, but now because of the failure of the military merits, Feng Liang already hated himself.

After the fight with Feng Liang today, it is conceivable that Li Jing and the Feng family will really become enemies in the future.Defeated Feng Liang twice in public and wounded him. In addition, because of this, Feng Liang lost [-] pieces of silk, three horses, a hand, a complete set of heavy armor and a first-class war horse. It's Chi Guoguo's Dafeng family's face.

But when I thought about it, I not only got four sharp weapons and a whole set of heavy armor, but also got brothers Lin Wei and Wang Zhong to become brothers with me.Thinking about it again, Li Hui'er actually distributed [-] bolts of silk to him before.

Li Jing couldn't help being excited again, high effort always brings high return.Although he completely offended the Feng family because of this, the windfall of tens of thousands of guan made Li Jing sigh.

With [-] pieces of silk, with this large sum of money, for Li Jing, he no longer has to worry about money when doing many things in the future.

There is still half a month left for the Dengzhou training camp to end. By then, he and Wen Dengying will have to return to Wen Dengying to stock up on fields, train, and assist in defense.Now Li Jing is a general with a hundred brothers under his command.This is already a lot of strength, and with this ten thousand pieces of silk, Li Jing believes that there is still a great opportunity.There were bandits all over the place, but Li Jing knew that Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao were the ones who really became popular, but it would take more than half a year for them to really start their uprising. During this period, Li Jing still had time to strengthen his strength.

The water in Penglai City was so deep that Li Jing felt as if she was dancing on a wire rope every day.Here, he is just a small general, restricted everywhere.He was looking forward to leaving Penglai as soon as possible and returning to Wendeng County.Wen Deng stays away from Penglai, and also stays away from big figures like Cui Yunqing and Feng Yanqing, so he can develop himself better.

However, there is still half a month before returning to Wendeng. With the current situation, can the Feng family easily let him go?

Although Feng Liang took out the [-] bolts of silk with a relaxed and casual expression, he didn't seem to care.But although Li Jing didn't know how much property the Feng family had as the second largest family in Shandong, he also knew that [-] bolts of silk was by no means a small number.Because of him, the Feng family lost such a large sum of money all of a sudden, they must have hated Li Jing to the bone.

In particular, the Feng family had previously offered a thousand taels of silver to bribe Lin Wei brothers, which made Li Jing feel a strong sense of crisis.The biting dog doesn't bark, the calmer the Feng family is, the more serious Li Jing's sense of crisis is.Under the superficial calm of the Feng family, there must be a vicious counterattack plan concealed. Li Jing didn't have the slightest evidence, but the intuition in his heart told him that this was for sure.

He couldn't sit still. When he first came to this world, he was almost killed by a little treasury official.Facing a behemoth like Feng's now, even with backers like Cui, Yu, and Li on his head, Li Jing still dare not be careless.He carefully recalled the previous plan with the three sworn brothers in the Linwei Courtyard, secretly bought the crossbow, strengthened his defenses at ordinary times, and always paid attention to the movements of the Feng family, just in case.

Gently pinching her chin, Li Jing felt restless for a while.

The countermeasures discussed with Lin Wei and the others were still too simple and passive. The Feng family had thousands of ways to deal with them.This feeling of being controlled by others made Li Jing extremely uncomfortable, and he remembered the crossbow arrow that Feng Liang had used during the competition.Feng Liang dared to hurt him secretly in front of everyone in the martial arts arena, which already showed that Feng Liang had murderous intentions towards him.He escaped that time, but when the next time comes, can he escape?

Why don't you act first and directly assassinate Feng Liang's uncle and nephew?This idea suddenly came to Li Jing's mind, but then he shook his head himself.Li Jing didn't care about the other party's status, if he really threatened him, he would definitely block and kill gods, and Buddhas would block and destroy Buddhas.However, the last time I went to Feng's house, Li Jing was very impressed by the two elite servants at the gate of Feng's house.Those servants should have crawled among the dead on the battlefield, and there were a large number of them.The Feng family is heavily guarded, it is too difficult to assassinate Feng's uncle and nephew.

If you want to assassinate Feng's uncle and nephew, then you must not pick the Feng family to do it.The best way is to find out some travel habits of Feng's uncle and nephew, and assassinate them halfway.In turn, Li Jing calculated in his mind who could use it now.If the assassination of Feng Liang's uncle and nephew is a matter of holding his head, it cannot be used unless he is the most trusted person.

All in all, there are eight little stones from Wangli Village, and Li Jing has been deliberately wooing and treating them well, giving money and helping the officials. These few are basically obedient and loyal to him now.If assassinated, these eight can basically be used.In addition, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Wang Zhong had just sworn brothers with him. Li Jing felt that these three were also highly skilled and courageous, and he was [-]% sure that they would be willing to work together.

In addition, Li Jing did not dare to trust all the other brothers in Zuo Yidu, but Li Jing and Lin Wei, each of the dozen or so people in the camp, must have one or two brothers who absolutely believed in them. , almost can make up 30 people.Originally, I wanted to include Li Huier and Yu Youniang. Although these two were women, they had a few powerful servants around them.But after thinking about it carefully, Li Jing gave up this idea.

When she was with the two of them, Li Jing could always feel relaxed, but on the other side of her heart, she kept suppressing this feeling.Reason told him that he should not get too close to them, they were not from the same world at all.

Believe it or not, there are 30 to [-] people who can be used. As long as you can find out the travel patterns of Feng Yanqing's uncle and nephew, and use hand crossbows and other assassination weapons, Li Jing is [-] to [-]% sure of success.This is a bold plan. Feng Yanqing is not only the governor of Dengzhou and the deputy envoy of the Tuanlian Battalion, but also the second richest family in Shandong.Even old foxes like Cui Yunqing and Li Rui would not have such an extreme approach with Feng Wrestle. If Li Jing did this, the consequences would be unpredictable.

But thinking of the arrow Feng Liang shot at him, and the way Feng Liang looked at him, Li Jing couldn't just sit like this.

"It's better to strike first, and suffer later!" Li Jing muttered to himself softly, making up his mind for himself.

After making up his mind, Li Jing felt a lot more relaxed, like letting go of a heavy burden.Li Jing has always been more restrained in making decisions before acting. He is not the kind of impulsive and reckless person.There are too many things to calculate, and sometimes it always makes him feel too tired.This time, he planned to be impulsive and passionate again.

The night was already very deep, the frost and dew were getting heavier, and the cold was threatening.There was a dead silence in the camp, and even the footsteps of the soldiers on duty patrolling the camp had not been heard for a long time.In the distance came the howling of wild wolves, desolate and long.Li Jing finally felt a little sleepy, and yawned involuntarily.He shook the felt blanket and was about to sleep when he suddenly heard very light footsteps coming from outside the tent.

Hearing that sound, it wasn't the footsteps of patrolling soldiers on duty, Li Jing was about to ask.Suddenly he heard the man approaching his tent, and there was a rustling sound of curtains outside the tent door.

Someone tried to enter his tent in the middle of the night, and Li Jing suddenly woke up.He is the general of Zuo Yidu, and he has the rank of Zhengqi, so Li Jing owns a tent and does not share it with other people.In the middle of the night, someone suddenly came in silently, which is definitely not a good thing.

Li Jing immediately reached out to hold the horizontal knife placed beside him in his hand, and stared at the opening of the curtain without saying a word.The curtain was lifted slightly, and by the moonlight, Li Jing saw a person sneaking in with a horizontal knife in his hand.Li Jing was about to get up, but found that after that person came in, there were actually two people behind him.The two men also held horizontal knives and walked in fearfully.
