The night was getting darker, and in the hazy moonlight, Jun Ci couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly: "I know who they are. If you go back to the village, people from the court will escort a group of prisoners to Beizhen in three days. I want you to go and arrest them."
The four of them were intercepted and must be kept alive."
Jun Ci handed the simple portraits of the four people to Meng Sanniang.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely get it done." Meng Sanniang took it with both hands, holding the scroll of the portrait in her hands.
"Go back." Jun Ci turned around.
"Lord!" Xiao Liu called her.
Jun Ci stopped and turned to look at him under the ink sky: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Liu was a little hesitant, Jun Cijing waited for a moment, he opened his mouth, and after a while he said: "I... I want to follow you."
Jun Ci was a little surprised. He turned to look at Meng Sanniang and his wife. Both of them were also surprised. It seemed that they didn't send Xiao Liu here to find out his identity. It was Xiao Liu who had such a problem.
idea.
Although she sent Meng Sanniang and others to pretend to assassinate Zhou Rong, Meng Sanniang and others did not know the reason for this move, nor would they associate it with the murder of Yuan Duo and his son. She met them not far outside the military camp.
Even if they meet, they may not be able to guess her identity.
Because in their eyes, she is a young man.
She has never disguised herself as a son-in-law since the first time they met, but her usual dress does not look like a girl at all. There is no hairdress, no makeup, no accessories, and she does not have the skin of a girl.
She knew they misunderstood, but she never explained.
"Why are you following me?" Jun Ci asked.
"I want to learn martial arts from my lord's side." Xiao Liu told the truth.
He wanted to be like Jun Ci and learn unparalleled skills early. He is not the most skilled person in the village, but he is good at using hidden weapons. No one in the village can teach him. He has to explore everything by himself, and he will be confused.
With urgency, he needs a famous teacher!
Jun Ci looked at this young boy who was only a little shorter than her. He was indeed very talented. It would be a pity if it was delayed. But she didn't want to take him with her now, not because she was afraid that her identity would be exposed.
But they don't want people in the military to know of their existence too early.
"You are not able to stay by my side now." Jun Ci refused, but said, "When you capture the person and send it to me, I will give you a martial arts book so that you can understand it better.
When you finish your studies, it won’t be too late to ask you to stay by my side.”
Although he didn't achieve what he wanted, there was an unexpected surprise. Xiao Liu clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely practice more!"
Jun Ci smiled, turned around and disappeared into the night.
When he returned to the camp, he stopped in front of the main tent. After all, he did not bother Ying Wuchen and went back to his own tent to rest.
Jun Ci was able to sleep well, but Yuanduo of the Yuan Palace in the capital could not sleep. Not only was there a stabbing wound on his neck, but the words Zhou Rong and his son said to him could still be heard in his ears.
Last night Zhou Rong sent Zhou Chengwu to the Central Guard Army but returned without success. He found out about it when he woke up early this morning. He didn't care that the wound on his neck was being pulled, and his mind and cochlea seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand.
With the dull pain in every nerve, he said hoarsely: "Great, Great Prime Minister, the daughter of the Jun family... should not be underestimated!"
As far as Zhou Rong knew, the grudge between Jun Ci and Yuan Duo was caused by Yuan Li's unwillingness to stand up for the Princess of Yichang.
It was just a trivial matter between children, so he could guess why Yuan Duo caused such a big fuss based on his understanding of Yuan Duo. It was simply Bingzhou's dereliction of duty, and he wanted to regain his trust.
It is true that Jun Ci was able to escape Yuan Duo's ambush and almost caused Yuan Duo's entire army to be annihilated, which gave Zhou Rong some new speculations about Jun Ci's personal abilities, but it did not cause much trouble. After all, Jun Ci had already
I have led His Majesty to the heroic feat of escaping from difficulties in the desert.
Zhou Rong really didn't pay attention to the courage of an ordinary man and a girl who had just grown hair. On weekdays, she acted casually and openly. When she arrived at the Central Guards Army, she pretended to put on some airs.
The army is able to bluff people.
It's not that Zhou Rong underestimated his enemy, it was because Jun Ci's age, experience, and gender couldn't attract his attention.
Yuan Duo said these words to him at this moment, but Zhou Rong didn't take it to heart. Yuan Duo had never suffered such a heavy blow, and he couldn't swallow this, and he knew it in his heart.
"Zai Yue." Zhou Rong called Yuan Duo's name with sincerity, "I know you are not angry in your heart. I have just experienced the pain of losing a son when Yuan Zhao died, so I understand the hatred in your heart.
I sent Saburo to the Zhonghu Army camp overnight, and there was nothing suspicious. Based on your words, how do you want me to capture her?
It should be noted that she is valued by His Majesty, she is your only daughter, and she is engaged to Jiulang Yingshi."
After hearing this, Yuan Duo's rapid breathing made him choke, and he coughed violently. The wound that had just stopped bleeding began to seep out again. He had to call the doctor again to treat the wound again.
After some tossing, Yuan Duo also calmed down. He understood that he did not catch Jun Ci on the spot, and Zhou Chengwu did not intercept Jun Ci in time. There was no clue at all. To touch Jun Ci for no reason at this time would be to break up with His Majesty. Zhou Rong
He didn't mind breaking up with Yuan You. If possible, Zhou Rong would rather kill Jun Ci without any evidence and give Yuan You some warning.
The bad thing is that behind Jun Ci there is the Ying family, the mysterious Ying family, the Ying family that Zhou Rong has not yet figured out.
Others don't know, not even Zhou Rong's sons, but Yuan Duo knows that Zhou Rong just supported Yuan You to take the throne two years ago. Because the killings were too heavy, people's hearts were unstable. He urgently needed someone with high moral character to calm people's hearts. Zhou Rong went there in person.
Meet Ying Shen.
Ying Shen never allowed to see him, which made Zhou Rong, who was in the limelight at the time and was very talkative, very angry. Zhou Rong sent people to assassinate the Ying family. They were all elite tribes of the Zhou family. However, the three thousand tribes thought they could destroy the Ying family.
The ground was flat, but three days later, three thousand corpses lay across the Prime Minister's Mansion.
However, people from the Prime Minister's Office discovered it in time and disposed of the body before the news spread. After that, the Prime Minister returned to Jinyang and did not come to the capital for a whole year. The explanation to the outside world, including to Zhou Chengwen and his brothers, was because of the massacre.
He harmed the clan too much and attracted many people to fight back. There were too many secret assassins, so he returned to Jinyang to temporarily avoid the limelight.
It was also this year that gave Yuan You a chance to breathe.
Since then, Zhou Rong has often avoided and feared Ying's family.
Ying Shen's youngest son openly came to Beijing and fell in love with Jun Ci. What's more, yesterday Zhou Chengwu saw the two of them sleeping in the same tent, which shows that their relationship is unusual. Zhou Rongruo didn't have enough evidence to take action against Jun Ci, that is,
Declare war with the Ying clan.
"Prime Minister, please forgive me, but the general is... confused..." Yuan Duo, who wanted to understand, had to give in, but still insisted, "Prime Minister, the daughter of the Jun family cannot be ignored."
