The cold wind was biting, and the dirt road was blown white. The elms, willows, mulberries, jujubes and other miscellaneous trees on both sides of the official road were withered and dry, and broken branches were blown off from time to time. Except for Lin Fu and the carriages and cavalry of the Marquis of Jin'an Mansion,
There were more than a dozen oxcarts filled with charcoal crowded on the official road. There were many pedestrians on the official road in the afternoon, and the carriages moved very slowly.
She Mingyue felt that the speed had slowed down and was tired of waiting in the car. She opened the car curtains and saw Lin Fu's thin and cold face. She caught his eyes. She might dress up as another girl.
Putting down the car curtain in shame, She Mingyue just tilted her charming face to one side, avoiding Lin Fu's sight. She looked at the men leading tall horses on the side of the road, and she was curious about their identities. These tall and handsome horses are in the East Fujian Jin Dynasty.
It was even rarer for An that the six men on the side of the road were each holding a horse. How could she not be curious?
When She Mingyue was young, she kicked a fierce little mare. Her mother felt sorry for her, so she asked her attendants to kill the pony. When her father came back, he whipped her mother twice in front of the servants.
Slap, She Mingyue knows that well-bred horses are more precious than ordinary things in Jin'an.
Lin Fu looked at the car curtains being raised, and saw two flower-like faces revealed from the car curtains. The girl's chin was slightly pointed, and she was beautiful, but a little green, and there was also some heroic spirit between her eyebrows;
But the young woman's skin was as smooth as snow, round and jade-like, her eyes were clear and clear, and her eyebrows were full of charm. Her nose, lips, and lightly red cheeks were all beautiful. When she first saw Lin Fu, she also looked at her.
Her eyes darted back and forth in surprise, adding a bit of coquettishness. Lin Fu sighed inwardly after looking at her: This woman is so beautiful.
The carriage passed by slowly, Zhao Hu, and they all stared at the carriage with interest in the forest scenery. Zhao Hu asked in a buzzing voice: "Who is this girl? She is even more beautiful than the Seventh Lady?"
"The Seventh Madam is not here. Be careful to let her hear her. She doesn't want to see you. The worst thing this woman can do is say that she is not as beautiful as others." Lin Jingzhong said jokingly. After the carriage and the cavalry passed by, he said to Lin Fu in slight surprise, "
The She Wenzhuang Ce Feng Yong Town's hereditary Marquis of Jin'an has not yet been announced to the world, but the She family has sent an envoy to Jiangning with great arrogance. What do they want to do?"
Zhou Pu and Wu Qi also frowned slightly. Du Rong was already a headache to deal with. Unexpectedly, the She family sent these people in openly and honestly, and the envoy was probably the She family behind the robbery in Baisha County.
Second Young Master, this situation is getting more and more complicated.
"It sounds like the She family surrendered to the imperial court and asked for peace. In fact, everyone knew that the imperial court was unable to fight the battle in the southeast, and was forced to break the soil and confer nobility to recruit the She family." Lin Fu shook his head and sighed, "For the She family
For me, spying on Jiangning's movements is even more important than spying on Yanjing's movements..."
"Are you saying that the She family will not settle down after returning this time?" Lin Jingzhong asked.
"Will the imperial court feel at ease to let the She family control Jin'an forever?" Lin Fu asked rhetorically.
"Over the past 200 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been any family that has split the soil and enfeoffed princes like the She family. The three divisions of Yitong Kaifu are so powerful that even the first-class princes and nobles cannot compare. It is not a matter of the imperial court's uneasiness.
It's just that the Central Committee has to face more troubles than just the She family, so it needs to temporarily appease the She family and free up its hands and feet..." Lin Jingzhong said, "This principle is also simple. When the Central Committee frees up its hands and feet, the Center will still have to deal with the She family.
"
"The She family naturally saw through the falsehoods of the imperial court, but they were jealous of Li Zhuo. Li Zhuo and tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command remained in Eastern Fujian, which also made them breathless. They might as well surrender temporarily so that the central government of the imperial court could safely control Li Zhuo.
And tens of thousands of elite troops under Li Zhuo were transferred to Jibei to deal with the Donghu people, so that they could guard Jin Jing and wait for the opportunity; the central government could not be unprepared for the She family, so it was almost a foregone conclusion that Li Zhuo would serve as Jiangning's Minister of War and Jiangning's garrison general in the southeast.
, I heard from Gu Wuchen that Li Zhuo's appointment edict will be issued before the year... But the problem at hand is not who will come to the southeast." Lin Fu sighed slightly and did not continue.
Lin Jingzhong also shook his head and sighed. When he was in the forest, he never thought that he would be so closely related to important events in the court.
Lin Fu got on his horse. Suddenly, for some reason, one of the dozen or so oxcarts transporting charcoal fell sideways on the official road. Thousands of kilograms of charcoal poured out from the cart and piled up into a dark pile.
The ox carts immediately became a mess, completely blocking the entire official road. Naturally, the convoy of the envoy from the Marquis of Jin'an Mansion was also blocked tightly, and the escorting knights all rushed to the front to drive the charcoal ox carts.
"No..." Wu Qi pulled Lin Fu's horse's head and asked him to look back in the direction of the oxcart.
It was understandable that the oxcart loaded with charcoal was moving slowly, but there were many cyclists on the official road slowly following the oxcart. It was strange that they were not anxious at all. Lin Fu and the others had been focusing on Jin.
When An Hou entered the envoy's convoy, he did not look at the abnormality in the charcoal-carrying oxen convoy. Only when he saw these dozen oxen carts blocking the official road did he notice something unusual.
"Everyone get on the horse..." Lin Fu said immediately. The She family has been causing chaos in East Fujian for nearly ten years. I don't know how many men died at the hands of the She family in the southeast. I don't know how many families died because of the She family. Although the imperial court divided the She family.
There are many people who have been granted nobility, but they hate the She family to the core and kill them quickly. For example, Dong Yuan, the prefect of Weiyang Prefecture, did not hesitate to break up with Li Zhuojue, the governor of East Fujian who was kind to him, and would never agree to recruit the She family.
No matter who wants to assassinate Jin'an Houjinzou in front of Jiangning Donghua Gate, the six of them can't intervene. The key is that they are riding horses and sabers. If they don't avoid it, they can easily be accidentally injured. Lin Fu holds the reins and follows Zhou Pu.
Said, "You take Jingzhong with you, let's stay away..."
"I can ride a horse..." Lin Jingzhong wanted to protest, but his waist was tight, and his thin body was held under the armpits by Zhou Pu and placed across the horse. Wu Qi led Lin Jingzhong's mount, and six people were riding five horses.
A horse rode off into the distance, and after only walking a hundred steps, a sudden change occurred in front of it.
Lin Fu turned his horse and looked back, and saw that Jin'an Hou Jinzou had most of the guards of the convoy attracted to the front to drive the ox cart, and was about to enter Jiangning City. It was indeed the time when the convoy's defense was at its most lax, and it was hard to imagine that there would be anyone just leaving.
The assassination was carried out less than three miles away from Donghua Gate in Jiangning. More than ten people scattered on both sides of the convoy drew their swords and rushed towards the leading carriage. What was even more surprising was that more than ten people dressed in costumes were driving in front of the ox cart.
The man transporting the charcoal took out his crossbow and stood on the ox cart to shoot at the escorting knights. Jin'an Hou Jinzou caught the convoy off guard, and more than ten people could not even pull out their swords.
After killing the dead souls under the crossbow, four or five assassins jumped onto the leader's carriage, and instantly saw a stream of blood pouring out of the carriage window.
Lin Fu thought he was an assassin and succeeded, but unexpectedly, an assassin got out of the carriage the next moment and shouted at the front of the car: "She Feihu is not in the car..." The assassin also understood very well, jumped on the carriage, and headed towards the second car.
A carriage rushed to find their assassination target.
The assassins suddenly panicked and rushed towards the remaining four carriages.
At this moment, they saw the second carriage suddenly turning around and rushing towards Lin Fu. When the assassins recognized that the target person was hiding in this carriage, they all abandoned other carriages and stared at this carriage to pursue them. Then
As the carriage sped up, an assassin with the fastest hands and feet flew forward, grabbed the back wall of the carriage, and got into the carriage. Some of the other assassins ran away to catch up, and some even tried to catch the horse on horseback.
"What should we do?" Wu Qi and Zhou Pu both looked at Lin Fu.
"Save people." Lin Fu stared at the assassin who was leaning on the roof of the carriage. In front of the carriage, in addition to the driver, there was also a guarding warrior. The warrior had already drawn his sword and turned around to fight the assassin.
"..." Wu Qi and Zhou Pu were both in a daze. They originally wanted to use a stumbling block secretly to stop the carriage from escaping, so that the assassin could smoothly kill an important figure in the She family. This was what they wanted best. However, they didn't expect that Lin Fu would actually save his life.
people.
"There is an 80% chance that She Feihu is not in the carriage. The two women have the courage to use their bodies to attract assassins. Don't hesitate and be ready to save people." Lin Fu stared at the direction of the carriage. He just saw his aunt and sister-in-law coming from behind.
The carriage window was exposed. Although it was not sure if there was anyone inside, it was less likely that She Feihu and his sister-in-law would squeeze into the same carriage when they entered the city. Looking at the chaos and fighting in front of them, those
The guard reacted and indeed gave priority to protecting the fourth carriage, which looked inconspicuous. Only twelve or three rode over to catch up with the assassin who was chasing the second carriage. More guards were killed with the assassin at the front. Those
The dozen or so assassins chasing the second carriage had not noticed the abnormality yet.
The assassin who was the first to jump on the carriage was fighting for his life. He didn't even dodge the guard's knife on his left arm. He kicked the guard out of the carriage and was stabbed in the side by the driver's short blade, but he didn't slow down at all.
The knife was slashed at the coachman's neck. When he lifted the curtain of the car and was about to rush into the carriage, he was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Wu Qi jumped on the carriage and punched the assassin in the back of the head. Lin Fu also jumped on the carriage desperately and carried the assassin who Wu Qi had knocked unconscious into the carriage. He was so frightened when he saw that there were only two assassins in the carriage.
The pale-faced beauty turned around and told Wu Qi: "Let's rescue this person." Wu Qi hesitantly stopped the carriage that was about to rush into the ditch, and galloped far away. Zhou Pu and the others drove Wu Qi away.
Qi and Lin Fu's mounts were led up, and they also followed the carriage and fled far away.
Lin Jingzhong was so uncomfortable being pushed on Zhou Pu's back that he almost vomited out the lunch he had eaten. However, this posture allowed him to see what was going on behind him. The dozen assassins who were chasing him had to be chased by the dozen guards.
on the carriage, thinking that as long as they blocked the carriage and stopped the assassin for a moment, they would be able to help the guards rescue the people in the carriage. Why did Lin Fu let Wu Qi drive away and they also want to escape?
Lin Fu put down the assassin who knocked Wu Qi unconscious. When he saw the beautiful young woman in the car taking out a short silver knife to stab him, he snatched the knife from her hand and threw it out of the car. He said, "Mrs.
"I'm sorry, we are just passers-by helping Madam when we see injustice. Madam, please don't accidentally hurt a good person." He also felt that it was hard to guess what the young woman was thinking, so he felt uneasy and said, "I'm sorry, Madam, Lin Fu doesn't want to save anyone."
I'll stab you in the back again..." Keeping his eyes on the girl, he quickly searched the young woman's body with his hands to make sure there was no other sharp weapon hidden on her body.
The young woman didn't know who Lin Fu and the others were, so she searched her body with Lin Fu's fingers that were as fast as spiders. She didn't behave like an ordinary woman. She still stared at Lin Fu with vigilance and said, "As long as you save me,
If you stay with us, the She family will reward you with generous gifts!"
"I don't dare to covet the generous gifts from the extravagant family. I don't know how many people I will offend if I save you." Lin Fu laughed happily, then stared at the young woman and searched her body.
Although Lin Fu's body search was very professional and did not have any lewd/evil connotations, the girl's body was touched once by the man, and she cursed with a blushing face: "You bastard, you want to take advantage of me and my sister-in-law, be careful of your extravagance."
I will chop off your hands." The young woman knew that Lin Fu did not mean to humiliate them during the body search. Although it was humiliating to search the body of a man, she could not hold back and said nothing.
"Miss, if you threaten me like this, I will have to hand you over to the assassins." Lin Fu relaxed and sat down, laughing as he sat between the young woman and the girl. He put his foot on the chest of the unconscious assassin and let Wu Qi manipulate him in front.
The horse moved forward, but the two women were not allowed to see what was going on outside the car.
