Early the next morning, Zhu Biao and Mu Ying set out.
Su Jing originally wanted to go along, but Mu Ying refused Su Jing on the grounds of safety.
Zhu Biao even explained that this was a family scandal and it was better to resolve it internally.
Su Jing did not insist. Anyway, he still quite trusted Zhu Biao and Mu Ying.
As Zhu Biao and Mu Ying left, Su Jing wandered around Jiaxiang County.
At the beginning of the new year, the weather is still very good.
On the streets, most of the people coming and going had no sorrow on their faces.
Su Jing immediately bought some local specialty roast chicken and ate it while walking, not caring about the image problem.
Not long after walking, several little beggars followed Su Jing, their eyes fixed on the roast chicken in Su Jing's hand, and their throats kept swallowing.
"Come on, come on, here it is for you."
Su Jing directly stretched out her hand to greet the few beggars, with half of the roast chicken left in her hand.
The little beggars were a little timid and did not dare to come close.
"No, I don't look too evil."
Su Jing said something mockingly to herself and took the initiative to walk towards the little beggars.
"The roasted chicken is delicious. Eat slowly."
Su Jing gave the roast chicken to the leader of the older children, and warned: "Don't eat it all by yourself, or I won't be able to spare you."
The eldest child nodded but still said nothing.
After Su Jing finished roasting the chicken, she was about to turn around and leave, but she heard a voice from behind: "Good man, someone seems to be following you."
After saying that, the children with the roast chicken ran away in a hurry.
Someone is following me?
Su Jing frowned and immediately became alert.
When you are away from home, you have to believe what a beggar says.
Because beggars beg all day long and see many people, they are also very sensitive to changes in movement around them.
So Su Jing walked into the alley deliberately, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly.
After some simple operations, I found two people following me.
Su Jing wondered that she knew no one in Jiaxiang County.
Could it be the person those soldiers were looking for?
That shouldn't be the case. I never showed up from beginning to end.
The last time I passed through Jiaxiang County was years ago.
strangeness!
It's really strange!
In order to figure out what was going on, Su Jing began to head towards the suburbs.
Not long after, there were no houses around. On the wide road, there were only Su Jing and the two people following behind, and there was no place to hide.
"You two, I wonder what you want to do after following me for so long?"
Su Jing turned around and looked at the two people and asked.
It looked like he was calm and relaxed, but actually he was quite panicked inside.
Because only now did Su Jing see clearly that these two guys didn't look like ordinary people.
A body full of tendon meat, quite strong.
Two strong men.
But the tracking just now was very good. If the beggar hadn't reminded her, Su Jing might not have realized it.
The other party is not an ordinary person, he is prepared.
"Are you Su Jing?"
The person on the left took a few steps forward and asked Su Jing.
"No, my name is Jiang Ming. It seems that you two have recognized the wrong person."
Su Jing answered directly without any hesitation.
It's as if his real name is Jiang Ming, not Su Jing.
However, the other party had no intention of leaving at all, and instead continued to approach Su Jing.
"You two, you have recognized the wrong person, why is there anything else?"
Su Jing said with a smile and waved her hand.
"Nothing, I just want to ask you something."
Another strong man spoke and also walked towards Su Jing.
"What are you asking? If you have something to do, just say no. There's no need to come over. We're not familiar with each other either."
Su Jing was still smiling.
The two of them were already a little close, and a squeaking sound suddenly came from Su Jing's hand.
Then, Su Jing directly threw a bamboo tube-like object and fell directly to the ground.
The two people reacted very quickly and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
only.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, huge fire and gunpowder smoke appeared, and the two people who were caught off guard were hit directly from all directions.
The two fell straight to the ground, but they were not dead. They were just covered in wounds and blood was flowing everywhere.
Su Jing stood up, feeling considerable pain in his back. Although the distance was relatively far, some debris still affected his back.
I touched it with my backhand and it started to bleed.
But luckily it was just a skin injury, so it's not a problem.
Su Jing then looked at the two people who had fallen to the ground, shook her head slightly and said, "I told you not to get too close, why can't you understand?"
When you go out, you must have self-defense props.
What Su Jing threw just now was a simple detonator. Aluminum powder was added to the black powder and the black powder was granulated, which directly increased the power of the explosion.
It was a bit troublesome to light the fuse. I flicked the fire breaker in my sleeve several times before it rekindled and successfully ignited the fuse.
"How do you have such a firearm?"
The two people lying on the ground looked surprised and asked in disbelief.
Su Jing smiled and said: "You call me by my name when you meet. It's obvious in Jiaxiang County that you want to do something to me. I thought you all knew it. It seems that the person who instigated you behind the scenes doesn't know much."
Needless to say, the two people in front of me must have been ordered to do so.
But who it is, Su Jing is unknown.
He didn't have any ideas in his mind at the moment, because he really didn't know who wanted to kill him like this?
"Come, tell me, who ordered you?"
Su Jing asked while still maintaining a safe distance.
But the two men just looked at each other, and then revealed a sense of determination. They each took out a dagger from their arms and wiped their necks without any hesitation.
this……
Just die directly.
Su Jing really didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a dead soldier.
Who had he provoked to be so vicious?
In order to kill himself, even death warriors were used.
Not many people know his whereabouts, that is, Zhu Biao's family.
For the other shopkeepers in Lishui County, Su Jing just told them that she was going on a long trip.
The problem must lie with Zhu Biao’s family!
But they had no motive to do so. At least, if they wanted to kill themselves, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to do so with his ability.
And considering the relationship between Zhu Biao and his master and apprentice, there is no way he would want to assassinate him.
How did the other party know about his whereabouts?
Su Jing only felt that there was a cloud of doubt in front of her eyes, and she had no idea who she had provoked.
The two corpses in front of me were covered with bruises, and this was the suburbs.
It is obviously unrealistic to allow oneself to take away two corpses.
By the time I find any clues, the two corpses will probably be in disgrace.
Thinking about it this way, the other party is really thoughtful.
"Forget it, it's best not to let me know who it is, otherwise I will make you pay the price even if you are a prince or general!"
Su Jing left a harsh word and left the scene of the explosion directly.
In the Jiaxiang County Medical Center, Su Jing was being treated for back trauma.
"Sir, how did you get injured? Whether it was an impact or a fall, it is unlikely that such an injury would occur?"
The doctor asked with a surprised look on his face.
He has been a doctor for a long time, and he has never seen wounds like Su Jing's.
Su Jing said casually: "The stove we were burning at home exploded and collapsed."
"Doctor, did I hurt any bones or internal organs?"
The doctor replied: "Sir, you are lucky. They are all skin injuries. Apply some medicine for bruises. I will give you a prescription to replenish blood and replenish qi. In less than half a month, I will ensure that you recover as before."
Su Jing nodded and said, "Thank you, doctor."
After taking care of the wound, Su Jing went directly back to the inn and asked the waiter to prepare the medicine.
In the afternoon, Zhu Biao and Mu Ying, who had gone out early in the morning, finally came back.
The faces of the two of them were not good-looking. When they went there, the soldiers who were beaten with sticks yesterday were no longer there.
According to the general, their health was not good and they were allowed to go home to recuperate for the time being.
Naturally, Zhu Biao and Mu Ying did not believe this and continued to investigate. Unfortunately, nothing was found.
Here, although Mu Ying revealed the identity of Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, she did not have any trusted subordinates and was constrained in doing anything.
"Well, it seems you didn't get the answer you wanted this time."
Su Jing asked, looking at the two frowning people.
Mu Ying replied: "The person is no longer in the military camp and cannot be found. Mr. Su's guess is probably true, but without evidence, just speculation is just empty talk."
This is reality, how can there be so much fairness and justice.
"Then what do you think? If you continue to stay here, you should go home first."
Su Jing said lightly.
He didn't mention his injury, but he didn't want it to affect their decision.
"Master Su, the student wants to go back first."
Zhu Biao said.
The situation here is more complicated than they imagined. Zhu Biao and Mu Ying have noble status, but there is no one around them, so it is difficult to do things.
"Okay, let's go back first."
Su Jing nodded. For Su Jing, this is the best choice.
Dong Dong————
There was a knock on the door.
Mu Ying immediately opened the door and saw the waiter standing at the door holding a bowl of medicine and saying: "Sir, the medicine you asked me to fry is ready."
Decoction!
Mu Ying and Zhu Biao's expressions changed.
"Just give it to me."
Muying took the medicinal soup and put it on the table.
Zhu Biao asked with a worried look: "Master Su, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
If Su Jing gets sick, it will be a big deal.
Su Jing shook her head and smiled: "No, I just accidentally fell down when I went out today and scratched my skin. The doctor prescribed medicine to replenish blood and replenish qi. It's okay. We won't delay our return."
"Master Su, if you have to force yourself, you should recover from your injuries here and go back."
Zhu Biao was still worried about Su Jing's health.
"Niu Yi, your teacher, I'm not as weak as you think. It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it."
Su Jing said with a smile.
Seeing Su Jing's persistence, Zhu Biao said nothing more.
After Su Jing took the medicine, she lay down and rested directly.
It was night in a blink of an eye, Su Jing left the guest room and came to the carriage.
Someone is planning an assassination, so you still need to prepare some defensive tools.
Simple detonators are very easy to use and have strong lethality, but they are also easy to cause accidental damage.
Improve it, reduce the amount of gunpowder, and control the killing radius.
"Mr. Su."
As soon as Su Jing took the tools back to the guest room, Mu Ying's voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother Wenying, why are you here?"
Su Jing opened the door and let Mu Ying in.
Mu Ying said: "Mr. Su, what happened to you today? I think the injured part is your back. Normal wrestling won't hurt your back."
As a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Mu Ying still has a say in injuries.
He had seen Su Jing's situation before.
But Su Jing didn't say anything, so he didn't tell Zhu Biao.
"Brother Wenying has a vicious eye, I admire him."
Su Jing looked at Mu Ying and said sincerely.
Although ointment had been applied to his back, the pain was still unbearable.
Although Su Jing already behaved nothing strange, Mu Ying still noticed it.
"Mr. Su, your injury is probably man-made. My brother and I went to the military camp today. Mr. Su must have been attacked and injured, so he went back immediately regardless of his injury."
Mu Ying figured out the general situation just by thinking briefly.
Su Jing nodded: "That's right, I'm not an ordinary person. He knew my identity and came prepared. Fortunately, I still have some means, otherwise I might have died in Jiaxiang County."
"so serious!"
Mu Ying's expression changed. He had guessed something, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Su Jing is a talent that even her adoptive father Zhu Yuanzhang values extremely.
He and Prince Zhu Biao were also followed by him.
Who dared to kill Su Jing because he had the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard?
Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to know the whereabouts along the way.
"Shh!"
Su Jing whispered: "Brother Wenying should be quieter. It is not convenient to disclose this matter to Niu Yi for the time being. We will wait until we get back safely. The safety along the way will be a lot of trouble for Brother Wenying."
"I understand what Mr. Su said. I will do my best to protect Mr. Su's safety."
Mu Ying replied solemnly.
Su Jing nodded: "Brother Wenying, please rest early. The rest of the journey will not be so smooth."
…
Ying Tianfu.
Yongjia Marquis Mansion.
Hu Weiyong was a guest at Zhu Liangzu's home. At this time, all the servants had been dismissed.
"Hu Shaoqing, I have already followed your method. There won't be any problems, right?"
Zhu Liangzu looked at Hu Weiyong and asked.
At first, Zhu Liangzu didn't care much about Hu Weiyong, the young minister of Taichang Temple.
But after chatting with Hu Weiyong for a few more words, he felt that Hu Weiyong was very smart and was on the same front as him.
Now, his attitude towards Hu Weiyong has improved a lot.
Hu Weiyong said calmly: "Marquis Yongjia can rest assured. No matter whether this matter is successful or not, there is no need to worry. Everything is confirmed to be symptomatic."
Zhu Liangzu's face darkened and he said: "The best thing is that Su Jing never comes back, then nothing will happen."
Hu Weiyong shook his head and said: "Yongjia Hou, don't underestimate this Su Jing. For your Majesty to think so highly of her, there must be something special about her."
"This is just a trial. It's the best if you can succeed. It's normal if you don't succeed. The most important thing is not to leave any flaws."
Zhu Liangzu nodded and said: "Hu Shaoqing is right. I'm afraid I will trouble you a lot in the future."
No matter what Su Jing thinks, he is already in the game.
