After nightfall, I sat in the side hall that was temporarily used for reception, looking at the solemn person in front of me.

"A big thing has just happened in the city."

"The chief supervisor of the Five Roads Department Quan Jiangning and the Grand Marshal Ning, who was attacked and killed by firearms on his way home with light and simple travel...

"The thief used a quick-fired musket and thunder bullet on the spot, and dozens of guards were almost killed or injured.

"The Taiwei Ning in the car was also attacked by the assassin's gun weapon. After being sent to the Imperial Medical Office, he was seriously injured and could not afford to pay attention to the matter."

"So, General Sun (Jingbang), the ambassador of the Guard who stayed in the city, has taken over the defense affairs under the jurisdiction of the Left-behind Department as usual."

"Now the city has been confined to the gates, and checkpoints are set up in various yards along the streets, and martial law and search have begun,"

"In addition, all the troops using firearms in the outer capital have been strictly prohibited from leaving their bases."

"Start to take stock of the number of personnel and equipment on the spot... and then accept reviews from people from Liusi one by one..."

"It turned out to be a firearm..."

I quickly calmed down after listening and found the obstacles and key points.

"So, even my guards are no exception."

"But I don't know what charter I want..."

"Of course not that..."

A senior military officer who accompanied him in Shenfei's robe hurriedly argued

"Just ask your department to be calm and not go out or walk around...."

"In order to avoid being easily dismissed, the rest of the food will continue to be the same as before."

"Nature, the guards and horses in the Stone City should not be listed here..."

I nodded slightly in my heart. If this is the case, the other party's targeting will be too obvious. It is obvious that many palace guards are regarded as dead people. Although these news is shocking and caught off guard, there are still quite a few interesting things in it;

For example, there is no mention of whether the defense forces and patrol troops who came after the assassination killed the thieves and discovered them on the spot, as well as cleaning up the evidence and situations obtained from the scene; is this deliberately avoiding suspicion, or is it deliberately avoiding something?

After all, the relationship and origin of the General Manager Ning who was seriously injured in the assassination and me is a well-known result.

"Who are you again..."

Then I asked again, a few thoughts flashed through my heart.

"Li Guanyu, the military envoy in the left wing of the lower hall...

The other party bowed slightly to the ritual

"Now I am the deputy envoy of the patrol in the retention department..."

"Then please accompany me to visit the Ning Taiwei Mansion..."

The other party couldn't help but show some embarrassment, but I didn't give him a chance to justify or shirk it.

"Taiwei Ning has always had an old friend with me, and his wife is my sister again. Shouldn't he come to visit me and comfort me?"

"It's not only that you are leading the way and accompanying you, but it should also be reassuring for people...."

"this..."

The other party was stumbled by my snatch, but he could no longer speak firmly against him.

"I'm here but I'll listen to your orders..."

The actions of the firearm troops were obviously a dignified response and a legitimate open conspiracy, but in fact it tied up most of the guards I brought into Jiangning City. Therefore, it seems that I could only find the corresponding opportunity and possibility to break through this situation by taking the initiative and not sitting in this stone city, rather than waiting for the results given by others.

At least, from the point where the other party can skillfully use military weapons such as firearms, fire, thunder and bullets, I feel a deep malice and purpose. Finding my sister, Mrs. Chen, is an important step in mastering the initiative and name.

“Don’t worry about anything.”

Then when I turned back in the Anmu Palace, I said to Xiao Jinjun, who was still a little worried and slightly regretful.

"I'll go back..."

"Can you let Yu go and visit him together..."

She wanted to speak but stopped, as if she had to muster up the courage to whisper.

"Since it is a couple, Mrs. Chen should be Yu's sister."

"I have something to do at my sister's house, and Yu Dang can't stay out of it."

I couldn't help but look at this little girl who was surprised and hesitant, and suddenly became a little surprised and admired. After a moment of concern for gains and losses, I still agreed.

"Okay, let's face it together..."

................

Under the overcast night, compared with the trend and political whirlpool that has been brewing again due to this surging accident in Jiangning City,

Outside Jiangning City, which is still unknown, is a peaceful and peaceful scene just now. Compared with the city where the curfew is implemented, the nightlife in the suburbs of Guofang District, which has a somewhat chaotic and loose management, obviously has a sign of just beginning.

Gu Laosi, who was wearing a simple and refreshing pure head jacket, also walked on a dim street with several guards and servants in casual clothes carrying gift boxes.

This opportunity to return to Jiangning Mansion can be said to be a return home in glory for Gu Laosi; although most of his blood relatives are gone, it does not prevent him from showing off and seductively in front of his fellow villagers.

You know, before that, he was a mere military prisoner who was injured and waiting to die, but now he is the deputy general of the first battalion of the Huai Army. Therefore, in his hometown, people inevitably wanted to tell him about his relatives.

One of them was a good daughter from a wealthy family, and she also had a house and acres of land as a dowry. The other was a widowed daughter who retired from local officials, but she was known as a well-educated and polite person and had a good appearance. The only condition proposed by these two families was that after marriage, they could bring the whole family to Huai land to live.

Of course, this is not something that cannot be understood;

He also heard about the situation from the generations from Jiangning to Runzhou, and even the entire Jiangdong Road was a bit bad. In addition to the accidents along the coast of Huainan Road, most areas were still left unstoppable and disorderly; the Liangzhe area occupied by the Great Yun thieves in the south, or the sect thieves in Jiangxi Road in the west, have even affected and affected Jiangdong Road.

The so-called wealthy place that was once rich and wealthy, the Southeast Three Dao, has now become a quagmire with endless wars and civilians.

Even in Jiangning Prefecture, which is a capital, or in Runzhou, a military-heavy area, there are still refugees and bandits. Most families have to travel in groups after leaving the city, otherwise they will easily disappear or become abandoned corpses far away from the road.

Even these ordinary wealthy businessmen who have a garage or retired officials in the countryside cannot be exceptional. Because as long as there are constant natural and man-made disasters in the surrounding areas, these external factors will always be suppressed and cleared.

Only these are the only things that can still maintain a kind of false glamor of being drunk and dreaming. However, what is the direct relationship between these things and his official position, who is at the seventh rank, who can barely be regarded as the middle-level general of the Huai Army, who is at the edge of the middle level of the Huai Army?

As long as he can take care of the people around him, for example, this time he was invited by his fellow villager to go to the house for a banquet, and he also met and confirmed the matter again with the other party.

Although he already has a Silla girl who warms the bed day and night beside him, as a wife who can support her, she still hopes to get a middle-aged and upper-class daughter who can get on the table.

Therefore, after these days, compared with the family property and wealth that one party had dowry, he cared more about the benefits and benefits brought by the family education of his family members. At least in the future, he would not rely on the matter of education after having children and then join the Huai Army and have been studying documents and military strategies for several years, which is too laborious and time-consuming.

Today is the first time he met and recognized his face at the hometown of his fellow villager in the name of relatives, so he spent a lot of money and took out a few specialties that were rare even in the north as gifts for meeting.

For example, in those ordinary lacquered wooden gift boxes that are not surprisingly beautiful, there are several ginseng from the northern foot of the long white squid, a small jar of snow clam oil, a piece of black oil mink fur in good condition, and a pair of snowflake agate bracelets; they are all good things and private collections he accidentally got when he fought against Andong in the eastern expedition to Silla.

Before I knew it, my fellow villager's house was already in sight, and the other party was waiting at the intersection of the street with a lantern. When he saw it from afar, he couldn't wait to greet Jiang Laosi and bring him in with great enthusiasm.

Although it was just a private family banquet, it was solemnly placed in the main hall, with dozens of exquisite bowls, chopsticks and wine utensils on it.

With the order of the master, the dozen servants surrounding the master and the visiting Gu Laosi suddenly started to move like flowing water, and passed on all the delicious foods of water and land, filling all the bowls and cups.

After drinking a few glasses of wine that the owner and his relatives and friends who accompanied him introduced and persuaded each other to drink, Gu Laosi noticed some leisure and unexpectedly that in the carved pane next to the hall, there was a faint figure peeking at him; and as the night wind brought the whispers and the faint powder, he couldn't help but feel more at a loss and nervousness.

Then, it became a vague expectation and desire.
