Chapter 118 Double Assassination
() Song Qing did not keep Song Qing waiting for long. News came from the inner guards a few days later. Han Shizhong was thrown into prison by Tong Guan for dereliction of duty because he lost Fang La. How to deal with it further is waiting for the court's decree.
Fang La was the person that the old emperor wanted to kill in his dreams. Now that he had clearly caught the thief chief, but he ran away again, the old emperor's anger must not be less, so Tong Guan did not dare to deal with it without authorization.
Han Shizhong's career has been cut off by himself, and it may be difficult to become the Han Shizhong in history.
However, Song Qing was still a little worried. What if the old emperor got angry and killed Han Shizhong? After thinking about it, Song Qing wrote a letter to Liang Shicheng, asking him to protect Han Shizhong. It would be best if he could get a distribution or something.
It would be even better if it could be distributed to Jinan Prefecture.
Song Qing didn't want to conquer him now, but he just felt that it was more appropriate to keep such a person by his side.
It was a beautiful and sunny day. After Song Qing went to the shipyard, accompanied by Chen Dong and others, he came to the new Dengzhou city wall which was under construction.
Dengzhou is located by the sea and there are few wars, but as Chen Dong's pioneering work here, it can be said that he spent all his efforts. The city wall of the new city is more than ten feet higher than the original city wall, and it is also much thicker.
They are all approaching the city wall of Jinan Prefecture.
Many local and recruited refugees were busy working on the city walls.
Song Qing was still very sure about Chen Dong's ability. Song Qing's idea was to transfer Chen Dong to Jinan Prefecture after the new Dengzhou was built. With his ability, a state was still too small, so he had to be given
Just have more room to play.
The two of them walked and chatted all the way, and unknowingly they reached the highest point of the city wall. This was a watchtower built on the city wall, which could be used for resting and storing supplies.
This place has not yet been completed, and there are the most workers. However, everyone seems to know that the officials here have no airs, so they are still busy with their own work, and their work is not affected at all by the arrival of Song Qing and his entourage.
There were guards in front of them to clear the way for the busy workers. Suddenly, the feet of two people carrying wood slipped. The wood suddenly fell to the ground, and the two men also fell.
These two people were not far from Song Qing. Song Qing subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him, but before he could stretch out his hand, he suddenly heard someone calling him from under the city wall. The voice sounded like Wanyan Ke'er's voice.
This girl has always acted recklessly without caring about her own identity. This is what attracted Song Qing the most. So it is entirely possible that she called Song Qing under the city wall.
The moment Song Qing hesitated, the two men who were lying on the ground suddenly flew up, pulled out the sharp blades hidden in their arms and rushed towards Song Qing.
If it weren't for Wanyan Ke'er's shout, Song Qing might not have been able to dodge this sneak attack because the distance was too close.
These two killers were both very skilled in martial arts and their timing was very clever, but they still ignored Song Qing's reaction ability.
The moment the two killers jumped up, Song Qing had a warning in his heart. He didn't even look back and took two steps forward. If there wasn't a wall in front of him, he would have jumped over it.
From the time the assassin jumped to when Song Qing got out of the way, it was just an instant. At this time, Song Qing's guards had already reacted and rushed forward with their swords drawn. Half of them protected Song Qing, while the others rushed towards the assassin.
Song Qing pushed away the hammer in front of him and looked at the two assassins surrounded by guards with cold eyes. He knew that there were many people who hated him, and it would not be surprising if someone assassinated him. It was just who sent them.
What about the assassin?
These guards were all selected after thousands of rounds, including masters of the internal guards. It was only a matter of time before they took down the two assassins. At this time, the guards below the city also noticed the changes on the city wall and were rushing over quickly.
.
Song Qing suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart. This assassination plan was too simple?
His eyes accidentally glanced at the watchtower under construction in front of him, and it was this unintentional glance that saved his life. It turned out that he happened to see someone on the watchtower aiming a crossbow at him. If he had seen it later, the crossbow would have already positioned him.
, it’s too late to hide anymore.
With no time to think, he screamed and turned over and fell to the ground.
The guards' attention was focused on the assassin. They never expected that Song Qing would be attacked again, and they turned their heads and rushed over. As a result, it was impossible for the assassin with the crossbow to target Song Qing.
Song Qing hid in the circle of guards and immediately ordered people to go to the watchtower to catch other assassins. At the same time, he ordered Hua Rong to lead troops to surround the place and make sure to find the remaining assassins hiding among the people.
At this time, Wanyan Ke'er had already run up the city wall. She didn't know that it was her shout that saved Song Qing. When she heard that Song Qing had been assassinated, she was frightened and rushed over immediately. She was relieved when she saw Song Qing was unharmed.
Take a breath.
Song Qing, who was being protected, already had a plan in mind. He gently told Wanyan Keer not to say anything, and then ordered someone to announce loudly that he had been stabbed.
The two assassins were already dead under the siege of the guards. However, the two assassins obviously knew the fate of being captured. After forcing the guards away with their swords, they committed suicide.
Afraid that the two assassins were pretending to be dead, a guard went up and struck him twice more.
Under Song Qing's instruction, the news that he had been stabbed and injured spread quickly. In order to make it look more realistic, some guards brought a stretcher and carried Song Qing away quickly.
As for the aftermath here, I leave it to Hua Rong who rushed over.
The general manager was assassinated. Is this okay? The old and new urban areas of Dengzhou were all sealed off, and suspicious persons were searched door to door, especially the refugees. They were circled together and closely checked to see if any fish had slipped through the net.
Song Qing's mansion in the old city now has a post every three steps, a sentry every five steps, the bow is strung, the sword is unsheathed, and the vigilance level has been raised to the highest level. Now I'm afraid not even a bird can fly in.
In front of Song Qing's bedroom, Gao Jin had been kneeling for a while.
Song Qing did not ask him to kneel down, but as the top leader of the internal defense in Dengzhou, he did not even know that the assassin had sneaked into Dengzhou. It was really derelict of his duty. Fortunately, the manager Fu Da was lucky, otherwise he would have had to commit suicide to apologize.
Of course, Gao Jin could not be entirely blamed for this incident, but as the leader of the secret service, he did have an unshirkable responsibility. So after letting Gao Jin kneel for a while, Song Qing asked him to immediately find out the identity and origin of the assassin.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.
Song Qing didn't want to be remembered like this all the time.
Since it was a fake, it had to be more thorough. Song Qing asked people to spread the news that he was seriously injured immediately, and he wanted to see who would jump out at this time.
In the Prince's Mansion in Bianliang, Tokyo, a guard quickly came outside Zhao Huan's study with a note in his hand.
"Report to the Prince, Pigeon Letter from Dengzhou"
What Zhao Huanri was thinking about all night was the news about Dengzhou, so he rushed forward to get the pigeon letter in person. When he saw the news he wanted, he couldn't help laughing loudly.
"Song Qing little thief, are you today too?"
Zhao Huan now has Song Qing's heart. Since he came into contact with Song Qing, he has suffered many setbacks, and he just killed his most capable subordinate. How can he not hate him? After receiving the news of He Yunlong's death, he
They sent out dead soldiers and must kill Song Qing.
He was very confident in his dead soldiers and believed that even if Song Qing was not dead now, he might only have half his life left.
He immediately sent an order to Liu Yanqing in the south of the Yangtze River to send his troops northward and stationed in Pei County. Once the news of Song Qing's death was confirmed, he immediately sent his troops into Yizhou to wipe out the remnants of Liangshan and completely regain these lost lands.
Out of guilt, the old emperor had handed over part of the power to mobilize troops to Zhao Huan, and the suppression of bandits in the south of the Yangtze River was also under his full command in the DPRK.
Although Tong Guan was very popular with the old emperor, Zhao Huan did not like him no matter how he looked at him. If it were not for his father, Tong Guan would have been relegated to the cold palace long ago.
In the Jin Kingdom in the far north, the new emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai also received news from Dengzhou.
No matter how outstanding the Song and Qing dynasties were, they were still from the south, so Wu Qimai said that he would never agree to marry his daughter. However, the remnants of the Liao Kingdom are still there, and the Song Dynasty is blocking the way, otherwise he would send troops to quell the Song Dynasty.
I have a clear heart.
He knew that the queen sent people to build a palace for his daughter, but he did not stop it. Instead, he ordered assassins to get involved, with the same purpose of killing Song Qing and completely killing his daughter.
After receiving the news that Song Qing was injured, Wu Qimai immediately ordered someone to send a message to the secret agent hiding in Dengzhou to implement the next step of his plan to defraud Wanyan Keer back.
What Song Qing did in Dengzhou has been reported back to Wu Qimai through spies. Like Aguda, Wu Qimai also felt that Song Qing would become a big problem sooner or later, and even if this person surrendered to him, he would never be able to bring him down.
His daughter promised him that in this case, it would be better to settle it once and for all.
Song Qing was still alive and kicking, so of course there was no news of his death. He was sitting in his study reading the assassin information sent by Gao Jin.
It's not surprising that Zhao Huan wanted to kill himself. What made him a little uncomfortable was the assassin of the Jin Kingdom.
Why do you say that I am also your prospective son-in-law? Even if you don't agree with us being together, there is no need to assassinate me?
Including Song Qing, many people did not expect that the assassins were actually two groups. Although the accomplices of the two groups of assassins were well hidden, the internal guards still found clues and finally determined their identities.
Song Qing did not order Gao Jin to arrest people. Secret spies have always been killed. If one group is killed, there will be another group, so it is better to keep it for now, send some innocuous news back, and then take action when the time is right.
Lose.
At this time, Song Qing's eyes had fallen on the land of Xuzhou, which was under the arm of Liangshan Mountain.
Xuzhou is close to Yizhou and Yanzhou, and there is a place bordering Jeju, which can be used by the imperial court as a forward base for attacking Liangshan. Therefore, it must find a way to control it.
This requires appropriate means, that is, to ensure that the court is not overly stimulated and that it cannot become a future trouble for Liangshan.
After pondering for a long time, Song Qing decided to hand over Xuzhou to Wu Yong. Firstly, it would be nearby, and secondly, with Wu Yong's mind, he would be able to better understand his intentions.
I made up my mind and was about to go to deliver the order when I suddenly heard Xiao Duozi's voice coming in.
"Miss Ke'er, the master is busy with official duties, please wait for a moment."
Chapter completed!
