Chapter 62 Departure
The ambush killer appeared outside Liangzhou City, which means that Liangzhou City has indeed been stared at.
This trip to Liangzhou in the heavy snow, few people should have thought of it, especially if they have to overcome the difficulty of Youzhou. Even Wen Xingzhi may not have thought of it. The Ning family of Biyun Mountain is probably not expected. The young master Ning Ye should be still in the mountains now. Not only is the mountain thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, but also seven or eight thousand miles away.
The leader's foot had a mark of bamboo leaves engraved on the soles of his feet, which shows that those with this mark attached great importance to the assassination of Yan Qing. As long as he found out, he would not have to report to his master, he would take action, and he would have to die. Otherwise, Yan Qing would not have mobilized so many people to assassinate as soon as he left the city to show up.
Whether the person with this mark is the Ning family or someone else, this can be explained. After all, if you send a message to the outside world, it is impossible for them to do so quickly in just two days.
Zhou Wu and Zhou Ying were just shocked. They didn't know what was going on with the bamboo leaf mark to kill the little Marquis of Yan, but they understood that under the condition that they were so careful to block the entire city and prevent the news that the helm commander and the little Marquis of Yan were leaked, there were people who ambushed and killed Yan Qing, which only showed that there were loopholes in Liangzhou City, unlike what they thought were airtight.
Ling Hua thought more, thinking about what she had always suspected. Why did the person with the bamboo leaf mark at this moment be so persistent in killing Yan Qing? Is it because he really had a deep hatred with Duan Jing Hou Mansion? Or if this group of people were really raised by the Ning family, then why did he have to kill Yan Qing?
Zhou Wu said worriedly, "Fortunately, the little marquis is very good at martial arts. Otherwise, even if there are eight hundred personal guards sent by Chen'er today, it is probably impossible to guarantee that the little marquis will be unharmed. Although none of these people have run away, the news about the little marquis and the helm commander in Liangzhou should have been revealed. Liangzhou can no longer stay for a long time. The helm commander and the little marquis will set off soon!"
Ling Hua had the same plan. She had not planned to stay in Liangzhou for a long time, but she had never thought of leaving so quickly. However, although all these people have been strangled, the news must have been revealed. She was not afraid of the Ning family or the Eastern Palace, but she was afraid that someone would use the force to kill people with a knife, and to stab her and Yan Qing in Liangzhou to the front of His Highness. Once Wen Xingzhi of Youzhou knew about it, he would definitely trap her to death in Liangzhou. If she couldn't leave, it would be enough for her to drink a pot.
Ling Hua said, "Let's go tonight."
Zhou Wu was stunned. Although he had this suggestion, he didn't expect Ling Hua to leave so urgently. He said tentatively, "Why not tomorrow? There are many things that have not been discussed with the helm."
Ling Hua stood up and said, "After using supper, I will continue to discuss. By the middle of the night, everything should be discussed. Let's leave late at night."
Zhou Wu had nothing to say for a moment, and he also stood up, "Do you want me to send someone to escort the helm commander and the little marquis?"
Although the Zhou family's personal guards are not as lethal as the Dead Guards, they can still get there.
"No need." Ling Hua waved his hand, "We are both small intents and have too many people, and it will be troublesome."
Zhou Wu had no choice but to give up.
Ling drew the study and planned to go back and tell Yan Qing to let him rest after dinner. After all, he would have to set off late at night. He should be very tired one day today.
After Ling Hua left, Zhou Wu said to Zhou Chen and Zhou Ying, "You two, now find a reason and take people to investigate the entire Liangzhou City. However, if there are any doubts, they will be detained and imprisoned first, and then interrogated strictly."
Zhou Chen and Zhou Ying nodded together, and they didn't say much and went immediately.
An hour later, Zhou Xun and Zhou Zhen returned to their homes and reported the results of the handling to General Zhou. Zhou Xun had brought the troops back to the barracks, and Zhou Zhen had burned all the dead bodies.
Zhou Wu nodded and said to the two, "The little marquis's martial arts skills are so powerful that no one can tell you. Do you know?"
Zhou Xun and Zhou Zhen nodded together and said heavily, "Don't worry, Father, we remember."
In today's scene, I saw Yan Qing's greatness. Each of them remembered clearly the expression of the little marquis warning them. Even if his father didn't tell him, they would still rot in their stomachs and dare not talk nonsense.
When Ling Hua returned to the yard, Yan Qing had finished bathing and was sitting in the room drinking tea.
Seeing his hair dripping with water, Ling Hua took a handkerchief and stood behind him to wipe his hair. "Brother, after using supper in a while, you should rest quickly. Let's set off late today. Otherwise, if you leave late, I'm afraid we will be blocked in Liangzhou and can't leave."
Yan Qing was not surprised at all, and said "yes".
Ling Hua said, "Brother, someone with the bamboo leaf mark engraved on the sole of his feet should have received the order from someone. As long as you find your trace, you will kill you as long as you have a chance. If you want your life so much, think carefully. Who has a grudge against Duan Jinghou Mansion? I had previously suspected that my mother-in-law took away something from the Ning family when she betrayed the Ning family, but I thought about it carefully and felt that this idea was wrong. If my mother-in-law took away something from the Ning family when she betrayed the Ning family, those people should be looking for something from the Ning family, and they shouldn't have to kill you."
Yan Qing looked back at her and saw her solemn face. He loosened his body and leaned against the back of the chair and let her wipe his hair comfortably. At the same time, he said, "Whether it is grandpa or father, he never easily gets evil with others. If it is said that there is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, there is never a problem. In order to serve the people in the Liang Dynasty, it is never a problem to eliminate threats, eliminate bandits, and punish evil. There are countless people who die in their hands."
Ling Hua sighed, "I remember my brother once said that before my father-in-law passed away, he mentioned, saying that if you have no power or power, I don't know if you can save your life and let you return to the right path sooner, so that you can stop being a playboy?"
"Well, you have a good memory." Yan Qing nodded.
Ling Hua said, "What my father-in-law said is wrong. Whether he can save his life or not has nothing to do with whether he is a playboy. I think it has something to do with his brother staying in the capital. Because when he stayed in the capital, have he never encountered assassination in so many years?"
"Yeah, no."
Ling Hua said, "So, did those people dare not step into the capital and kill my brother? Or did there be any other reason not to step into the capital? This is a suspicion. Logically speaking, even people like Hei Thirteen dare to kill me in the capital to vent their anger. Why don't these dead soldiers dare to? But in recent years, my brother stayed in the capital and could sway on the streets of the capital at night, but no one came out to assassinate my brother. What does this mean? It's impossible that those people were afraid of the emperor being caught when they were caught?"
Yan sneered, "How is that possible? Your Majesty does not have the true dragon body mentioned in the mythological book, which makes the demons and ghosts dare not step into the capital."
Ling Hua was amused, "Yes, those are all said in the painting book."
She wiped Yan Qing's hair dry, took the jade hairpin and tied his hair up, then sat down next to him, guessing, "I'm a little more inclined to be the same rule as the ones who wanted to kill your brother, and those who wanted to kill your father-in-law back then, for example, the Marquis was assassinated outside, and my brother was assassinated outside this time with me. Perhaps it's the rule that only you all left the capital will be allowed to take action."
Yan Qing raised her eyebrows, "It makes sense."
He was too lazy to think about it, and reached out and rubbed her head, "You have been tired for a day, aren't you tired now? Let it take a break!"
After he finished speaking, he reached out and pushed her a cup of tea, meaning that she would stop thinking and rest.
Ling Hua shut up and picked up the tea to drink.
Soon after, someone came to invite him, saying that the general held a banquet and invited two distinguished guests to the front hall for dinner.
Ling Hua responded and said that he would go over here, and turned to Yan Qing and said, "General Zhou knew that we would leave tonight, probably to use this meal to see him off. Brother, let's go over and have a simple meal. When you come back, you should rest quickly."
Yan Qing didn't really want to go there, so there was nothing to see off, but Ling Hua had already gotten up and reached out to pull him. He had to stand up with her and follow her to the front hall.
In the front hall, only Zhou Wu and Mrs. Zhou were there, and all the other children were sent out by Zhou Wu. How could Zhou Wu be idle today? Although the assassination was handled and the killers were strangled, Liangzhou City was not safe, so he was really worried. Naturally, he had to instruct his children to carefully check the city inside and outside the city, including outside the palace, and in the military camp.
Yan glanced lightly and thought it was a real meal.
After eating this simple meal for half an hour, it was already dark. Yan Qing went back to the yard to sleep. Ling Hua and Zhou Wu went to the study. This time, Zhou Ying was not there, and Mrs. Zhou accompanied her. It was not until late at night that she had discussed the matter that was about to be discussed.
Yan Qing happened to wake up just after sleeping. The two of them took a carriage and were personally escorted out of the city by Zhou Wu.
