Although he was a little uneasy, Li Chengfeng thought about it and did not think about the reason.
In addition, he was really tired when he was traveling, so he returned to his room early to rest.
However, just when the curfew in Ningzhou Prefecture City was in peace and the whole city was quiet.
A group of fully armed men in black were moving quietly on the eaves.
The direction they were traveling was the direction where Dong Yushu's mansion in Ningzhou Prefecture was located.
"In the middle of the night, be careful of the candle!" An elderly man beat the gong on the street.
"Stop!" The man in black, led by the leader, heard the sound of the beating, raised his palm and leaned upwards.
The men in black following followed stopped without any hesitation.
Seeing that the beaten people were getting closer and closer, the man in black whispered: "Hide!"
Immediately afterwards, he and all the other men in black hid on the other side of the eaves.
The man looked up at the eaves and lifted the lantern in his hand.
"Hmm? Did I hear it wrong?" "There are more and more mice in Ningzhou Prefecture!"
After looking at the eaves for a while, he shook his head and continued to walk forward.
He thought there were rats when he was moving on the eaves just now, so he didn't care too much about it.
What he didn't know was that on the other side of the roof, a group of men in black were staring at where he left.
Each of them was wearing a black robe, and the leader brought a red mask, and there was a strange red lotus on the mask.
The other men in black all had black masks, and the masks were pure flowers.
"The previous stupid woman's actions were discovered. This time, the Virgin ordered us to give them some colors!"
"Follow me!" The man in black said in a soft voice, and the men in black behind him nodded together.
The next group of men in black continued to walk towards Ningzhou Prefecture.
If Li Chengfeng was here at this time, he would definitely recognize that the clothes of these people were exactly the same as those of the man in black in the White Lotus Sect in Lingxi County before.
Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary evening...
The next morning, Li Chengfeng woke up from the room, but found a mess in the inn.
There were also a group of soldiers wearing armor and swords in the inn hall.
The head of the official post downstairs is negotiating with the soldiers in charge.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er were observing the situation downstairs, without any rash actions.
"I don't care what you are. We adults were assassinated last night, and everyone was suspected!"
He shouted for the leader and pushed away the post commander who had negotiated.
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him rushed towards the upper room.
At this time, Li Lizhi and Wu Xu and the girls in the room next to each other were woken up by noise and walked out the door.
"Brother Feng'er, what happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"
Li Lizhi walked out yawning, stretched her waist and asked Li Chengfeng.
"Why are there so many soldiers in the inn? What happened?" Wu Xu, who was standing beside him, exclaimed.
"Young Master, is something big happening?"
Fan Meng looked at the situation in the inn and asked.
"Don't be nervous. Ningzhou Prefecture was assassinated yesterday, and the soldiers inspected their daily inspections."
"We are now officials and businessmen in Chang'an, so it's okay to ask them to search!" Li Chengfeng said.
After saying that, he also signaled Fan Meng with his eyes to not worry.
His words were not only reminding Fan Meng, but also preventing Li Lizhi and others from exposing their identities.
When Ningzhou Prefecture was assassinated, it was probably done by the White Lotus Sect.
If they knew that Li Lizhi was here, they might come and attack him at any time!
You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Being careful of them every day is not a big deal!
Li Lizhi and Wu Xu nodded slightly, but were still a little confused.
The soldiers downstairs soon came to the front of several people.
Seeing that Li Chengfeng and the others were all children, they looked at Fan Meng for the leader.
"This lady, we are ordered to search the suspicious person and offend him!"
He clasped his fists and bowed his hands to Fan Meng.
They just learned from the postmaster that these officials and businessmen were all from the Eighth Prince's Mansion and could not be offended.
Fan Meng was stunned for a while and looked at Li Chengfeng beside him.
Li Chengfeng nodded without a trace and signaled Fan Meng to ask them to search.
"Okay then! You search!" Fan Meng nodded and said to the soldiers.
Seeing that Fan Meng agreed, the leader Ding waved his hand: "Search it for me!"
The soldiers then entered the room of Li Lizhi and others and searched.
After about a stick of incense, the soldiers came out of the room.
"Report to Chief Sergeant, we found no suspicion!"
He nodded for the leader, turned his head and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and returned to Fan Meng again.
"Sorry, we also want to check your business documents! Please show it!"
The leader looked at Fan Meng up and down, and his hands were placed on the sword at his waist.
Li Chengfeng and his group arrived yesterday and were assassinated that night. This was a coincidence.
Before Fan Meng could speak, Li Chengfeng walked to the soldier and took out his jade pendant.
"This is the token given to us by the Eighth Prince. Please take a look at it." Li Chengfeng handed over the jade pendant and said with his back.
The leader took over the jade pendant from Li Chengfeng's hand and looked in a difficult mood.
Although he was a little better than other officers and soldiers and knew some words, he really didn't know the standard of this jade pendant.
"Please forgive us for taking the liberty. We are all rude men and do not recognize this thing."
"Wait for a moment, let's ask someone to come and verify!" said the leader of the army to Li Chengfeng.
After saying that, he waved, and a soldier behind him left the post station and walked straight out.
Li Chengfeng ignored this and was thinking in his mind why Ningzhou Prefecture was attacked.
And it happened that they were assassinated after they came, and Li Chengfeng couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Could it be that they knew our itinerary? A thought arose in Li Chengfeng's mind.
But soon this idea was denied by him again. If their itinerary was mastered, they would not be so safe along the way.
But this operation of the White Lotus Sect is indeed a bit strange. The White Lotus Sect has been acting in a hidden way. Why is it so arrogant this time?
Li Chengfeng felt that there must be some reason, but he will find out after investigation.
Just as Li Chengfeng was thinking, the soldier who had run out had already left.
He also brought a man in a fine manner, who was thin and gentle as a scholar.
"Mr. Wang, I can't take this jade pendant, please check it out..."
The previous officers and soldiers were very respectful to Lord Li and walked to him and told him about the previous situation.
The Lord Wang took the jade pendant, looked at him carefully, and then looked at Li Chengfeng and others.
He bowed and said, "The official has met an adult, and he has offended him before, but he has offended him!"
He was dispatched by Chang'an, and the soldiers didn't know that he was still clear about the weight of this jade pendant.
This jade pendant is specially made by the Ministry of Rites. Seeing this, it was like seeing the Eighth Prince coming in person.
The soldiers behind them also saluted one after another: "I've seen the lord!"
Fan Meng then stepped forward again and took the jade pendant from Lord Wang.
"No need to be polite. You are all for the safety of Ningzhou Prefecture, and you have no offense!" Fan Meng said.
"Since that's the case, then I'll say goodbye first!" Lord Wang returned the jade pendant to Fan Meng and left the post station with the officers and soldiers.
