Feng Yu was riding at the front, and saw many people waiting for him in the distance, with no expression. The etiquette was there. They wanted to welcome and please, which was also a normal mental activity. As long as
It's not about flattering others, and it doesn't have much to do with you if you go too far. In the final analysis, it's inevitable to be wise in the world.
"Your Majesty, Li Chong, welcomes His Highness and the generals!"
Feng Yu rode a horse and walked slowly in front of him, dismounted and looked around carefully. Jiangzhong was considered the richest city in Hezhou, and the posthouse was also relatively large and beautiful.
"Master Li, thank you for your hard work, but you are quite good at guessing. You know that I will stop in the river."
Li Chong took a step forward and bowed slightly, "I don't dare, but I asked questions along the way, and it's time to calculate the distance, so I'm preparing in advance to welcome His Highness. Your Highness is fighting for the country this time, for the people of the Tang Dynasty.
It's a long way to catch the wind, but it can still be done in the middle of the river to practice it for His Highness and the generals."
This was said tactfully. This Li Chong was a careful person, but he didn't know what his official character was. If he was a good official, he would be a blessing in the river.
"Master Li is very interested. It's getting late today, so I'll rest in your Jiangzhong Inn and hit the road tomorrow morning."
"The food has been prepared, and several tables are in the Tang Dynasty. According to the demand, the taste is a little spicier, and the wine is not prepared. Your Highness means that you shouldn't drink it. The house has also been tidied up, and the bright big hall
In this room, His Highness’s is at the head of the east wing.”
"Master Li, I would like to thank you very much. I didn't expect to meet such a considerate subject when I went out. It is really heart-warming."
Li Chong bowed again and said, "His Highness is impressed. Everyone, please take your seats. I will take my leave."
The group put down their equipment and followed the servants to Datang for dinner. Feng Yu naturally took the main seat, and several trustworthy people sat at the same table to eat.
After Lu Jinyan had eaten and drank, he said: "This Lord Li Chong is a person who can observe words and emotions. He thinks deeply and sees accurately. He is a talent that can be made."
Feng Yu thought about the scene of the conversation just now and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Li is very good at judging situations and knows when to do things. He can please people without boring them. You know that we
If you want to come, prepare everything first. The food is freshly cooked, and he leaves at the right time. Unlike ordinary people who chat at the same table and magnify themselves, he leaves directly and doesn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
"If this kind of person is taken seriously, he will have a bright future!"
"Okay, if everyone is full, go to bed early and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Feng Yu led several guards to the east wing, put down his sword and cloak, and said to the people behind him: "Does the informant in the river have anything to say?"
"Your Highness, I've already handed it over. No abnormalities have been found so far."
"What do you think of this Li Chong?"
"My subordinates have also asked, and they said that Li Chong is considered a competent person. He is not sneaky, has a delicate mind, and does not bully the people. However, nothing major has happened here in Jiangzhong.
His promotion path has been smooth."
"Well, that can be regarded as a kind of unrecognized talent. Has he had any dealings with anyone from the Seven Kills Tianmu?"
"I haven't found out yet. It doesn't look like there is one."
"Well, let the informant pay more attention to this Li Chong. If he has any dealings with Qisha, he is hiding deep. If not, he is still a usable person."
"yes."
Late at night, Feng Yu was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, when there was a sound of footsteps on the roof. In the darkness, a pair of eyes opened and he carefully observed the movements of the person coming.
The footsteps came to a stop on the roof of Feng Yu's house. After a while, a person fell from above and came to Feng Yu's door. Feng Yu lay silently, wanting to see what tricks the visitor wanted to play.
I saw that the man stretched a bamboo pipe in from the window, and a white smoke spurted out from the mouth of the pipe. It was probably smoke or something like that. Feng Yu secretly used his strength, and his true energy directly wrapped the smoke, dissolved and dissipated.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened a crack, and a figure sneaked in, his footsteps very light.
She walked quietly to Feng Yu's bedside, put her right hand into the sleeve of her left hand, and then slowly took it out. A dagger was shining brightly, and the cold light flashed across Feng Yu's eyelids.
The man in black had a fierce look in his eyes, and he dropped the dagger suddenly. Just an inch away from his eyebrows, Feng Yu held her wrist with his left hand, pinched the tendons of her arm with his fingers, and exerted a slight force. There was nothing the assassin could do.
Not even moving, let alone stabbing.
The man in black couldn't get away, so he simply let go of the dagger and let it fall vertically. How could Feng Yu fulfill her wish? He ducked away with a tilt of his head. The dagger was also sharp and was inserted directly into the pillow.
, revealing an empty piece of cotton wool.
Feng Yu grabbed her hand and pulled it back hard, then kicked out with his right foot, hitting her right arm. The assassin covered his right arm and stepped back several steps before regaining his balance. Knowing that he had no chance, he turned around and
Jump out of the window and escape.
Feng Yu struck out with her thousand-pointed finger, and a sword energy directly hit her leg. She fell to the ground and smashed a stool. The assassin also screamed in pain.
Before she could turn around, Feng Yu had already pinched her neck with his right hand.
"Tell me, who are you? Who sent you here?"
The assassin was picked up and pinned to the ground, unable to fight back at all.
"I won't tell you, just kill me!"
Although Feng Yu didn't know her, he could tell and hear that she was a young girl. As for why he wanted to assassinate him, he was really confused. If it was Qisha and Tianmu, it was impossible to send such a
A loser with no strength. When they attack, they always use experts who can kill with one strike. This is the case against Sihai Villa. This female assassin is probably not as good as his personal bodyguard, but she still dares to assassinate him.
"It stands to reason that you cannot be sent by my enemies, because your martial arts skills are too low, but it seems that I have never been to Jiangzhong, and I don't know who I have offended. Girl, can you give me a hint?"
The female assassin didn't speak or struggle for a long time, but there was obvious sweat on her forehead, as if she was unbearably painful from being scratched by Feng Yu.
The noise just now woke up the sleeping guards next to Feng Yu. They ran over quickly, opened the door and saw His Highness holding an assassin in black.
"Your Highness, this assassin~"
Feng Yu let go of her, and the guards grabbed her from left to right and escorted her to Feng Yu.
"Are you sure you really don't want to say anything?"
Although the female assassin was scared, she kept her mouth tightly closed and did not say even a single word.
"Okay, anyway, I'm very pressed for time. I have to leave for the west early tomorrow morning. I don't have time to deal with you little thieves. You two, drag her out and chop her up."
"yes."
The two guards directly escorted her out and walked out. The female assassin was quite tough-tempered. She really followed them out without even bothering to struggle, as if she was begging for death.
At this moment, many more people came to the door, including Li Chong whom he had seen in the evening.
Li Chong's expression was both worried and angry. He almost ran here and could hardly breathe.
"Your Highness, Your Highness King Huai, please spare her life! Your Highness!"
Feng Yu looked at the visitor, a little surprised. Based on his initial understanding of Li Chong, he would not choose to come to the post house to disturb his rest at this time. It seemed that it had something to do with the female assassin.
"Wait a minute, push her aside first, and deal with it later."
Feng Yu walked out, and after a while, the lobby was already brightly lit.
Feng Yu looked at Li Chong's eager look and was a little unhappy, "Master Li, this is not what a smart person should do. I thought your behavior would always be so smart."
Li Chong spoke with some worry, his waist almost bent to the ground, "His Royal Highness King Huai, please calm down. I cannot blame this official for this matter, but I would like to explain the reason in detail. This woman is
The daughter of my best friend, I just ask Your Highness to spare her life."
The corners of Feng Yu's mouth turned up more and more, but his smile made people feel that the temperature around him had dropped a lot, and everyone behind him was shivering.
"Master Li, what you mean is that this assassin wanted to kill me, and I found out, and now I want to let her go, right? What kind of status do you think of me as the king? Are you a toy that can be slaughtered by others!"
At the last sentence, Feng Yu was so angry that he accentuated his tone and made Li Chong and others kneel down.
Li Chong raised his head, with tears streaming down his face, "Your Highness, that's not what I mean. This woman's name is Luo Yuwei, and she is the only daughter of my good friend. She has no enmity with His Highness, but something bad has happened recently."
She hated me, so she thought of assassinating His Highness and asking me to plead guilty."
Feng Yu looked into Li Chong's eyes. His eyes were full of fear, worry, and care, except for the compromise and coldness of lying. Feng Yu chose to give him a chance to explain.
"Really? Mr. Li, do you know what the crime of assassinating the prince is?"
"This, this is a major crime against the nine clans!"
"Since he is killing the Nine Clan, it seems that this assassin hates you to the core, and he doesn't intend to let you go, as well as your whole family! Otherwise, I will order the arrest now? Are you going to arrest your family members yourself?"
Li Chong lowered his head in shame. If someone hadn't reported the news to him, he would never have imagined that Luo Yuwei would retaliate against him in this way and wanted to kill him. But he didn't blame him too much, because Luo Yuwei
Until now, she has not put the blame on him, but has kept silent and planned to die on her own.
"You're talking nonsense! It was me who wanted to kill you, not him. At most, he was guilty of poor supervision. You just took his black gauze hat to hold him accountable. He should have destroyed our nine tribes!"
Feng Yu looked at her funny, "Girl, it's over when you die? Will I not be able to find out your relationship with Li Chong? But what I said is that if he doesn't know, he will not be punished by death, but your
The Nine Clans are gone. Do you hate your family so much?
