Chapter 63: Frightened at Night
"You will take Xuan'er and Miss Zhai to Yuhuangling to find Xu Huai tomorrow. Xuan'er will be hiding his identity in Yuhuangling. I want to meet you for a while, and Xu Huai will be able to get rid of this last thing for me."
Wang Bing sat in front of the lamp and gave Lu Xiong a silly command while giving Lu Xiong a message as he wrote the envelope he wrote to Xu Huai.
Wang Xuan sat on the couch in a daze, her eyes were already swollen; Madam Zhai served Wang Xuan's mother, and her hair was gray at this time, and she had no knowledge and no opinion. At this time, she only knew how to hug Wang Xuan's weak body and give her some comfort.
"My husband, it's not that there is no plan for him..." Lu Xiong couldn't help crying.
"There have been too many innocent people involved. This is my fate. There is no need to struggle anymore - I don't want to die under their arrangement. After you send Xuan'er to Xu Huai, you hand over my suicide note to Wang Yongqi. This suicide note can prove that I died by drinking poison and has nothing to do with others. It can calm the storm down as soon as possible. He should help hand it over to His Majesty. After that, Brother Lu is idle and has to go to Mobei. In addition to the scenery of the Mobei grassland, the Chihu people have risen for thirty or forty years, and they are ambitious, and they need someone to see it with their own eyes. As for whether the guilds in the court are alert, they can only do their best to do their best and leave their destiny!"
"Grandpa!" Wang Xuan cried.
"You feel miserable now, but one day, you will understand the principle of common things in life and death..." Wang Bing reached out and gently stroked his granddaughter's head and comforted her.
"It's just that this pair of Miss Xuan is too early." Lu Xiong sighed.
"Give me the poison medicine and prepare for tomorrow's business." Wang Bing reached out to ask Lu Xiong for help.
"..." Lu Xiong was so bitter that he could not say in his chest that he held the porcelain bottle containing poison in his hand, but could not pass it out.
"Catch the assassin!"
Guo Caoling started to scream at first, and he could hear it vaguely here, but they were immersed in the mood of separation from life and death, and did not care for a moment. Until the yard was in an uproar, many people shouted "Catch the Assassin". Only then did Lu Xiong and Wang Bing wake up from the mood of separation from life and death, their eyes full of confusion.
Guo Caoling is about to officially replace Deng Gui in charge of the Huaiyuan Inspection Department. Where can there be any assassins?
Listening to the sound of more than a dozen people walking here, Lu Xiong and Wang Bing pushed the door and walked out of the house, but Deng Gui clattered and kicked the gate of the courtyard, and rushed in with a sharp blade in his hand.
"Langjun Deng, what do you mean?" Lu Xiong took off his waist and stood his sword in front of him, staring at Deng Gui.
Seeing Guo Caoling and Suihu died, Deng Gui's first thought was that Lu Xiong had taken action, so he rushed here to break in. However, he didn't expect that Lu Xiong and Wang Bing were not abnormal, and he was stunned:
Is there someone else in the assassin?
Deng Gui turned around quickly and said in a deep voice: "The new inspector Guo Caoling just was assassinated in the inn. Deng was worried that the assassin would also be unfavorable to Wang Xianggong, so he came and took a look!"
"Ah!" Lu Xiong was stunned. Unexpectedly, the assassin came to the new inspector Guo Caoling and said, "Guo Caoling has such a strong skill, and the two of them are definitely not weak when they come with him. Who can assassinate him? Is Guo Caoling injustice?"
Cai Ying was powerful and powerful, but if he wanted to arrange someone to take charge of the Huaiyuan Inspection Commissioner, he could only select personnel from the existing military officials. It was impossible to just stuff the secretly trained dead soldiers in a panic.
Guo Caoling was an military envoy under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou Border Capital Inspection Department. He seemed to be not high-ranking, but because he was very respectful of civil and military affairs, many imperial guards were only the seventh-rank military inspectors, military envoys, and military officials of the first-level inspection officers in the army.
"The envoy Guo's army has been killed." Deng Gui still suspected that the assassin had connections with Lu Xiong and Wang Bing, so he walked straight to the corridor as he spoke.
"Langjun Deng, what do you mean?" Lu Xiong asked in a deep voice without hesitation.
"The security of Xiang Gong Wang is not a trivial matter. I have to be careful that the assassin hides in a certain corner before taking action!"
When Deng Gui saw Guo Caoling die, he felt like the sky had collapsed. He didn't know what kind of huge waves would stir up. If he couldn't catch the assassin, he didn't know how to explain to the people behind Guo Caoling?
Will the people behind Guo Caoling think that he deliberately indulged the assassin's actions, and will they mistakenly think that he was just perfunctory from beginning to end, and even cooperated with the assassin to design them?
Deng Gui's heart and lungs were almost blown up, but he never expected that he would step down and jump out of the vortex. This was a non-vortex. Such a thing happened.
Who was so idle that the inspector who had been stationed in the horse and tried every means to put Cai Ying over there was only two days before he formally handed over the inspection, and then he was killed directly?
Killed this day!
Seeing Deng Gui poking his head rudely into the room, Lu Xiong was also angry. He reached out and grabbed his shoulder like an iron pliers, held the knife with his other hand against his armpit, and said in a deep voice: "Langjun Deng, don't bully people too much!"
In the study where Wang Bing and the others just walked out, there was no decoration. There was a couch, a table, and several chairs. There was no cover. There was no one hidden at a glance. Except for Wang Xuan and her wet nurse, Lady Zhai.
Deng Gui also knew that Lu Xiong was a dead soldier around Wang Bing, and Wang Bing was already determined to die. At this time, he really wanted to anger Lu Xiong. Maybe he would draw his sword to fight him regardless of his own, and he might not be able to command the martial soldiers below to come and help the battle.
Deng Gui stepped back and bowed and said, "I am also concerned about the safety of the Prince Wang, please forgive me."
"Go out!" Lu Xiong swung his knife to point out the courtyard gate without hesitation, asking Deng Gui to leave.
Deng Gui didn't dare to see Wang Bing at first, and confirmed that the assassin was not in Wang Bing's courtyard, nor did he dare to retaliate against Lu Xiong, and ran away to search for assassin elsewhere. Guo Caoling made a sound when he was assassinated and alarmed the postmen in the postmen. The postmen did not dare to step forward, but he also promptly warned that the assassin was probably still in the military camp at this time.
Apart from the rural soldiers who were helping guard, there were not many military soldiers in the military camp. Deng Gui was eager to block the military camp and search for assassins, and did not say that one or two people would keep the broken courtyard gate straight.
Lu Xiong walked over and helped the courtyard gate up, but the door shaft was broken and he could only wait for someone to repair it tomorrow.
"Who do you think it will be?" Wang Bing asked when Lu Xiong came back.
"You can kill these three people who are not weak in such a short time, either several people lurk in at the same time to attack, or they are already far above me," Lu Xiong did not see Guo Caoling's follower breaking in, guessing that they should be either dead or injured. He knew that Wang Bing suspected that it might be Xu Huai's attack, but he felt that he didn't like it, and said, "Xu Huai can't do this for the time being."
"Master Lu, you are underestimating me!"
The door of the side room suddenly opened, and Xu Huai sat on the ground behind the door, smiling at this side.
Wang Xuan was so scared that she almost flew out. She covered her chest for a while. With the dim light, she could see Xu Huai who was being picked up from the ground by Lu Xiong. Her left arm was weak and covered with blood. She hurriedly walked over with her grandfather Wang Bing to help lift Xu Huai who seemed to be seriously injured.
"Miss Zhai stared at the door, and someone broke in and shouted!" Lu Xiong ordered the wet nurse to guard the gate of the yard. He carried Xu Huai to Wang Xuan's bed and asked, "Where are you injured?"
"The injury is not serious. I was hit hard by the left arm and left shoulder twice, and my armpit was cut twice, but I was cut twice, but to quickly kill Guo Caoling, my left elbow hammer and right knife were used to cut horizontally, and I pulled the muscles and bones of the back vertebrae, and then I killed two people in a row. I had to hide here for a day before I could recover a little!" Xu Huai said weakly.
"Why don't you ask me to take action?" Lu Xiong resented.
He knew how powerful Guo Caoling was, and his two escorts were definitely not weak. Xu Huai assassinated Guo Caoling today. If there was any slight failure, he would inevitably end up being surrounded and killed.
"Deng Gui is willing to be merciless and only wants to escape from Huaiyuan. Why am I not careful that he will send someone to stare at you, Mr. Lu?" Xu Huai smiled, "Besides, Wang Xiang promises you to accompany me to assassinate the imperial officials? I just want Wang Xiang not to report to me to Deng Gui."
"Brother Xu's words really make Wang Bing ashamed." Wang Bing said ashamed.
"Don't care about Wang Xiang, I'm just joking," Xu Huai said with a smile. "I'm not all Wang Xiang, but I'm not all Wang Xiang, but more of it's anger Zheng Hui, who bullies me, Tongbai Mountain, there are no heroes. Zheng Hui thinks that everyone in Tongbai Mountain can be controlled by him, so I'm going to give him some color today. Another thing, I guess Wang Xiang might think of entrusting Miss Xuan to me, but I'm so cruel and rude martial artists who really think that Miss Xuan is looking down on me, and I'm afraid it's difficult to take care of Zhou Quan. Wang Xiang, you have to take care of Miss Xuan yourself."
"Why can't I afford to look down on you..." Wang Xuan defended in a low voice.
"You have been injured and climbed over the wall, but what traces are left for people to see?" Lu Xiong thought that Xu Huai was injured and turned into the yard, and he might not be able to cover all the traces.
"Deng Gui didn't just rush in to search through a lot of anger. At this time, his anger was already discharged. Even if he saw the traces, he didn't dare to come in again," Xu Huai smiled. "Guo Caoling was dead. He was panicked. He didn't know how to deal with the anger of the people behind the scenes, but he dared to bear the charge of forcing Wang Xiang to death? Deng Gui was a coward after all, poor eggs, we don't need to be afraid of him!"
Wang Xuan looked at Xu Huai with beautiful eyes wide open. Who dares to imagine that he had just assassinated three people? Who dares to imagine that he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was so chatting and laughing like nothing, even looking at Deng Gui, who was as vicious as nothing?
Lu Xiong thought about it, so if Deng Gui broke in again at this time, he would rather have blood splattered on the spot than open his eyes to watch Xu Huai be captured. Deng Gui had to consider such consequences, even if he changed his mind at this time, he would be sure that the assassin was hiding in this yard, what would he dare to do?
He handed over the assassin and explained to Cai Ying and Zheng Hui, but who would let him go for the crime of forcing Wang Bing to death? Even Cai Ying would be more willing to crush him and extinguish him, and it would be better to convict him of the great crime of extermination of the entire clan to clear his suspicion.
Of course, I think so, but it would be better if I could erase all the traces and not let Deng Gui notice them.
Lu Xiong confirmed that Xu Huai was not seriously injured, so he walked out with a knife.
