Di Yiying reacted quickly, turning the dagger in her hand to follow the man's kick.
"Huh?"
The man shrunk his legs, landed on the ground, and said in surprise: "You can't tell, the little kid is quite fierce. But that's all."
Indeed, Di Yiying, who is only twelve years old and does not know any martial arts, relies on her quick reaction speed.
Just as that man landed, another man's long knife had cut off the two front legs of Di Yiying's horse.
Di Yiying fell and flew up.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground, another gangster whipped him.
More than a dozen men in black have only one target: Di Yiying.
…
And on the other side: inside the palace and royal study.
The old emperor looked at the impeachment memorial in his hand and said displeasedly: "What are Wu Qiongsi and Wu Conghui doing? They are only twelve years old and they dare to kill people? How did Wu Qiongsi raise his children? !”
Su Hong heard this and quietly moved his feet back, further away from His Majesty's back.
Don't answer.
He couldn't accept this.
The old emperor didn't expect anyone to answer her. After she finished scolding, she just sat there angry.
After a while, he suddenly said with emotion: "Fortunately, Di Huaijie went to Ningzhou, otherwise, would my Wu family have lost another one? Go remind Wu Qiongsi and let him stay in the house with peace of mind and train him well." If the child can’t be taught well, he won’t need to come out.”
Su Hong said "yes" and winked at the eunuch who was guarding the door of the palace.
The eunuch who conveyed the order immediately ran away.
When the old emperor heard the commotion, he turned his head and looked at Su Hong.
Without looking, he turned sideways and realized that the person was standing directly behind him, quite far away.
She glared at him and scolded: "You react very quickly? What are you doing so far away from me? Are you afraid that I will regret it?"
After saying that, he turned around and stood up. Without waiting for Su Hong's response, he raised his feet and walked in the direction of his dormitory.
At the same time, he said again: "Let Shangguan Yue help me review the memorial. I am tired and you are old. Take a rest if you can."
Su Hong softly responded "Yes" again and followed His Majesty in silence.
I heard His Majesty say as he walked: "I wonder how that guy Di Huaijie is doing in Ningzhou?"
At this point, the old emperor stopped and asked Su Hong: "Is there any Wu family in Ningzhou?"
Su Hong shook his head, "Your Majesty, no."
The old emperor sighed: "It would be better if I didn't."
But before he finished speaking, Su Hong said again: "It's just a marriage. The third daughter of Wang Quanrong, the former governor of Ningzhou, is the concubine of Lord Qiongsi."
The old emperor was stunned for a moment.
After a few breaths, he relaxed and smiled.
As if to comfort himself, he murmured: "Wang Quanrong has become an official, and he is retiring in the capital city, and the daughter he married is just related to Qiongsi, so it won't be a problem, it won't be a problem."
Su Hong, who had been bowing, raised his eyelids and looked at His Majesty when he heard His Majesty say this.
Then he lowered his eyes to the ground and reminded in a low voice: "Wang Quanrong's butt is not clean."
"I know, I don't need you to remind me!"
The old emperor's smile disappeared, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If he hadn't collected a large amount of gold and silver treasures in Ningzhou every year and donated them to Qiong Si, he would not have had the chance to become an official!"
Su Hong: "..."
He couldn't answer this.
Wang Quanrong presented it to Wu Qiongsi, and Wu Qiongsi changed hands and presented it to His Majesty.
Who can understand this nonsense?
The old emperor didn't want to figure it out, so she raised her legs and continued walking.
When he walked to the door of the dormitory, he muttered: "I hope Di Huaijie can be more peaceful in Ningzhou."
Su Hong: "..."
He looked at the leaves that had been blown away by the growing cold wind and lowered his eyelids.
I also hope in my heart that Lord Di can be more at peace and return to the capital city as soon as possible.
…
Unfortunately, Di Ying is not only not as safe as they hoped, but is also being assassinated.
The black horse Wuyun bit his master's robe and used his body to block the incoming arrows.
at this time.
A sharp cold light suddenly appeared.
Like whirling wind blades, the incoming arrows were deflected with a clanging sound.
Wu Yun took the opportunity to fight hard and rushed up the steep slope with his master in his mouth.
Only then did I realize: I don’t have to run anymore.
The twenty people blocking the road over there twitched their lips in disdain when they saw that their arrows were blocked and only one person was able to release the arrows.
He drew his bow and nocked an arrow again, preparing for another volley.
Suddenly, someone saw the face of his companion, the front view.
And what those companions saw was: their own heads suddenly and inexplicably flew out.
flew in front of them.
The rest were shocked, but in just an instant, their heads were beheaded by someone who quietly attacked from behind.
They never figured it out until they died: Where did the person who killed them come from? Whose person is it?
They are all confidants, and they are obviously very, very confident about this assassination.
Why did he just... die?
However, death is not over yet.
One is still alive.
Seeing that his companions were attacked and killed instantly, Du Hao quickly turned his horse's head and fled to the other side.
While running away, they looked back at their attacker.
At one glance, all the hairs on his body stood up.
Those are the ten guards beside Lord Di.
He appeared out of nowhere. After killing someone, he mounted his horse and prepared to chase after him.
Du Han was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. He whipped the horse's buttocks like crazy and fled to the valley on the left front like crazy.
There, Zhou Li and Zhou Sima were waiting with their soldiers.
When they arrived at the valley, Master Di asked Li Sima to wait there with his troops, and then he went to mediate the conflicts among the herdsmen alone.
Now, Li Sima is still waiting there.
Seeing Du Han running back like he was running for his life and watching him fall off his horse in embarrassment, Li Jiang took a step forward and asked, "What's going on?"
With a sad face, Du Han ignored the pain all over his body and reported back: "The assassination failed. Master Di's guards suddenly appeared and attacked and killed all of our people. It's just me and my subordinates. Escape the fastest..."
"Useless things!"
Such an important and foolproof assassination operation failed.
After Li Jiang was so angry that he kicked Du Han, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
As soon as he raised his hand, he said: "We are waiting for them to come. Now we can catch them all. Gather, set off, surround and kill them, don't miss any one!"
When Du Chen heard this, his mouth opened wide.
Only then did he understand: It turned out that there were twenty of them, and they usually seemed to be Li Sima's confidants. Who knew that at the critical moment, they turned out to be just bait.
No wonder Zhou Lijiang led most of his people to stay still and only allowed his twenty people to assassinate him.
Du Yan wanted to jump up and spit in Li Jiang's face.
At this time, the remaining 180 city defense soldiers, led by deputy general Jing Zhongye, surrounded Li Jiang.
Li Jiang looked at them, frowned and said, "What are you doing around this Sima? Hurry up and get on your horse and go kill people!"
