The two went out to Xiao Hou's Mansion.

Xiao Hou's Mansion was as if it was facing a great enemy, with tight defenses and almost no leakage. Manpower was arranged everywhere and lurking quietly, for fear that the assassin would appear again.

Before the empress dowager left, she had never had any formations after leaving the palace, so she only brought Aunt Guo Yu and came.

Princess Ruiqing and the Marquis of Jingguo were also there, and they were both guarding outside.

When Princess Ruiqing saw Jingting coming, she said, "Did you bring it?"

Jingting took out the box and handed it to her, and asked, "How is the situation now?"

"It's not very good. The Queen Mother said that if she could survive tonight, there might be a turnaround." Princess Ruiqing said and turned around and went in.

Jingting stepped forward to pay homage to Jingguo Hou, who patted Jingting on the shoulder, "You have the intention."

The Marquis of Jingguo had a very good personal relationship with Hou Xiao, so he spoke to Jingting in the tone of the master's family.

"Don't worry, Marquis Xiao will be fine." Jingting comforted.

Jingguo Hou looked heavy and sighed, "He has experienced many battles and has ninety-two scars on his body. He is brave and good at fighting, which makes the Xianbei people frightened. He is a hero on the horse and a general on the battlefield. He should have his destiny, not to die in the hands of ghosts and monsters. He will hold on, and he will definitely do it."

Jinning was very uncomfortable listening.

For military generals, the greatest hope is naturally to eliminate the invading barbarians, stabilize the frontiers, and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Everyone says that the best destination for a general is to die on the battlefield.

Those who say this either have never been on the battlefield or just shout slogans.

Death on the battlefield can only be said to be the most glorious destination for generals, but it is by no means the best destination.

The best destination is to finish the war drum, extinguish the war, return to your hometown, and live a happy life in the peaceful environment you created. This is the last destination that military generals most long for.

Mr. Xiao was assassinated this time, which was an insult to Mr. Xiao and other military generals.

Jingting said: "The Nanjian has searched the whole city, and the murderer will be found soon. Don't worry, Marquis."

"This murderer is really powerful. The Marquis' deputy general is accompanied by the Marquis's deputy general. The deputy general is relatively mildly injured. He said that the murderer is only one, wearing a night-slim dress and is relatively small. However, he is sharp when making moves and uses hidden weapons. The deputy general is injured by hidden weapons. When he fights against the Marquis, his move routine is very strange, and it doesn't seem to be a routine of Central Plains martial arts."

"Only one person?" Jin Ning was surprised, "The Marquis's martial arts skills are very good, and only one assassin can injure the deputy general and Xiao Hou?"

"Mr. Xiao was injured and he was asked to succeed." said the Hou of Jingguo.

Jingting asked: "Before the Marquis returned to Beijing, there seemed to be no war in the Wuman border town. How did the Marquis get injured?"

"I heard from the deputy general that on his way back to Beijing, he encountered ice skating and his horse stumbled. It happened that he was on the edge of a steep cliff. The Marquis fell off the cliff. Fortunately, he was not afraid of danger. When he fell, he dragged the cliff down with a dagger, and saved his life, but he was seriously injured."

Jingting frowned, "Why is it so coincidental that the horse slips on the edge of the cliff? Has anyone checked the horses and had anyone attacked them?"

"This... didn't ask." Yasukunihou looked at him, "What do you doubt?"

Jingting said: "I suspect that someone was attacked that time, but I didn't succeed."

Jinning said from the side: "If I was not wrong, the Marquis would have encountered more than once such so-called accidents on his way back to Beijing, but he would have ended up in danger."

The Yasukuni Hou stared at the face and became serious, "If so, the other party had planned it long ago. What was their purpose? Is it just to kill Hou Xiao?"

Jingting shook his head, "I'm afraid it may not be enough for Mr. Xiao to return to Beijing to report his duties. He can return to Wuman in a few days. Mr. Xiao is in Wuman, which is a barrier, but without Mr. Xiao, this barrier becomes a small hill, and it is easy to take against Wuman."

The door opened with a whimper, and Empress Dowager Long walked out. She looked at Jingting and said, "You have made sense in your analysis. The Nanjian will investigate this matter thoroughly. You are here. The deputy general is temporarily safe. Go and ask about the specific situation and follow the clues to investigate." "Yes!" Jingting took the order and turned around and left.

The Queen Mother looked at Jinning and said, "Come in."

Jinning was slightly stunned. She went in? Didn’t Xiao Hou wake up? Is it appropriate for her to go in?

But the Queen Mother ordered that she could only do so.

After entering, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao’s three young men were also there. Mr. Xiao was lying on the bed, discarding blood-stained clothes by the bed, and a basin of hot water was placed on the ground, which was soaked in blood.

Xiao Hou's face was very pale and had injuries on his face, extending from the left eyebrow bone to the left ear. It can be seen that the sword was extremely dangerous. If he could not avoid it, half of his head would have to be cut off.

The other party made a harsh move and wanted to kill him.

There were also scars everywhere on his body. The sword on his chest was very heavy and had not been bandaged yet. The wound had been cleaned, but the surrounding area of ​​the wound seemed to be sewn with thread, which was as big as half of the palm.

Mr. Xiao was so angry that he had no breath if he hadn't looked carefully.

Mrs. Xiao sat aside, looking at him worriedly and anxiously, with red eyes, but she was strong and did not shed tears.

Jin Ning had seen Mrs. Xiao Fu, and Mrs. Xiao looked at Jin Ning and forced a smile, "The princess is intent."

"Madam, don't worry, the Marquis will be lucky and the heavenly world." Jinning said softly.

The Empress Dowager lets her family be by her side, so Young Master Xiao can bear it, but Mrs. Xiao looks pitiful, her face turns pale, her lips tremble, and she just can't hold back her tears.

Mrs. Xiao nodded silently, "Yes, I hope this is the case."

Jinning didn't know what to do, so he looked back at Empress Dowager Long.

But Empress Dowager Long pointed to the basin of hot water underground and said to her: "Mr. Xiao still has injuries on his legs, so go and deal with it."

"Me?" Jinning was stunned, "I'm afraid I can't do it."

She will treat the wound. She has suffered a lot of war injuries in her previous life, but they are all simple treatments. But how could she help Xiao Hou treat the wound?

Even if there is no saying between the generals that men and women will not be allowed to marry each other, you can hire a doctor or call a few major generals.

"You can do it as such a simple thing as dealing with a wound." The Queen Mother said lightly.

The eldest son of Mr. Xiao saw Jinning's embarrassment and stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, let me do it."

The Queen Mother looked at Jinning and urged: "Go!"

Jinning had no choice but to say, "Yes!"

She went up and Aunt Guo Yu handed over a pair of scissors, "cut off the trouser legs."

Jinning said oh, took the scissors, but was a little embarrassed to start.

On the battlefield, she naturally helped her comrades to treat her wounds, but the situation was critical and the speed was extremely fast, so she basically bandaged her. Now, with so many pairs of eyes staring at her, and the Queen Mother was there, she was a little at a loss.

However, you have to harden your head.

She cut open the trousers of the Marquis and couldn't help but gasp, and saw that both legs were covered with small wounds.

If you look closely, it is not a minor injury, but a hidden weapon. There are small iron pieces in the small wounds. If you want to deal with the wound, you can pick out the iron pieces.
