Yang Ning went to Sanmu Village to find out the news. Li Weizheng rushed back to the inn first. The inn was very quiet. Most of the guests went out to make a living. Several secret prostitutes who were blocking the door worked hard all night and also found a place to rest. Only the inn shopkeeper lay on the counter and took a nap. The footsteps in the yard alarmed him. He raised his head sleepily. Seeing that Li Wei was coming in, his face disappeared without a trace. He stood up and smiled and said, "Master, I've been back so early."

Li Wei was laughing and walked quickly to his room. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the aisle, he suddenly stopped and turned around and instructed: "I want to rest, don't disturb me, do you know?"

"Little understand!"

Li Wei was quickly walking up the stairs and entering his room. He carefully closed the door tightly and pulled the curtains on it. Then he walked to his bed. He opened the skin he had discovered immediately in Zaikong and shook out the things inside. The skin contained more than 2,000 slits of paper money, more than a dozen ingots of gold and silver, and a red sandalwood box.

He opened the wooden box and saw a small round brocade bag, about the size of a walnut. The brocade bag was tied tightly by a rope, which was quite heavy. He carefully pulled the rope open, but was stunned. The cloth bag was filled with diamonds, the size of soybeans, crystal clear, and shining with dazzling light. He stayed for a while, slowly poured out the diamonds and counted them. A total of twenty pieces were tied. Li Wei was a little confused. Twenty diamonds, what kind of wealth is this? What kind of wealth do they want to do?

He put away the diamonds and suddenly remembered that there was another east side. He quickly walked to the table and took out something that had been picked out from the deceased's mouth. This was a wax ball, which was very closed. Li Wei was gently crushing the wax ball and shaking out a ball of white silk, which was densely filled with small characters.

He did not read the content, but directly glanced at the signature of the letter, King Qi Jing.

King Zhu Jing of Qi was the seventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang. His fief was in Qingzhou, Shandong and he held military power. He had led his army to go to Mongolia with the King of Yan many times in history. Li Wei was taking a breath. Did he even send someone to compete for letters?

He looked at the contents on the silk. It was a handwritten letter written by Zhu Jing to the Censor of the Huguang Execution, and asked him to help him find the letter. If it succeeds, he will pay it with a bag of diamonds.

Li Wei was frowning, and he didn't expect that the letter would cause such a big storm. Even the King of Qi did not hesitate to fight for it. What's the use of him getting the letter? If the prince was deposed for this, it would not be his turn to the Eastern Palace. Could it be?

．

Could it be that he wanted to exchange something with others? At this time, a name suddenly popped up in Li Weizheng's mind: King Yan Zhu Di.

Although there is no news about King Yan yet, Li Weizheng vaguely felt that there might be a shadow of King Yan behind King Qi. King Qin must have realized this, so he attacked King Qi behind him.

But the first person to get the news of the stolen letter was the King of Qin. If the King of Qin revealed the news to the King of Qi, they would not kill each other. This means that the news of the King of Qi was not obtained from the King of Qin, but was spread by those with ulterior motives. Who would this person be? If it was the King of Yan again, it means that there was not only collusion between Qin and Yan, but also profound conflicts. It was this letter from King of Qi that made Li Weizheng find that the behind-the-scenes scene was more exciting than the front desk. Li Weizheng couldn't help but laugh. This was his first achievement, and he would hand this letter to the prince.

Li Wei was putting away the things, but he was thinking about Zhao Wuji sent by the King of Qin. He had already vaguely felt a collusion between the King of Qin and the King of Yan. In this way, the assassination in Dingyuan County was planned and explained.

He now suspects that Zhao Wuji is the behind-the-scenes planner of the Dingyuan County assassination. He remembers the secret and effective organization of the assassination and the ruthless means. If it were the same person, Zhao Wuji would be very difficult to deal with. He only had two people, and it seemed that he was a little less. Li Wei was thinking for a long time, but in the end he made up his mind that no matter what, he would always give it a try.

At this moment, a slight knock on the door suddenly came from the door, "Who!" Li Wei asked in a daze.

"Master, it's me." The shopkeeper's voice came from the door, "I'm here to deliver boiled water."

"Didn't you tell you not to disturb me?" Li Wei was walking to the door quickly and was about to open the door when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "I live in a reserved room!" The rule of reservation is that the customer requires first. He has already said not to disturb me, why did the shopkeeper come again?

No! He couldn't help but take a step back halfway. Just as he was halfway back, a cold long sword passed out with a "crack" and stabbed into his face like lightning. Li Wei was so shocked that he could not retreat. Seeing the long sword penetrated his brain, the tip of the sword was half an inch away from his eyebrows.

The opportunity was lost. Li Weizheng turned around and rolled two feet away. There was a chair next to him. He then kicked the chair towards the wooden door and rushed into the inner room. At the same time, there was a loud bang. A big hole was opened by the wooden door. A man in black rolled in and hit the oncoming chair. He waved his sword and chopped the chair into pieces. He raised his hand without thinking. A black shadow shot out from under his wrist, shooting directly at Li Weizheng. At this time, Li Wei was jumping onto the table and was about to jump out of the window. Suddenly, a severe pain came from his left calf, causing him to fall heavily to the ground. The two of them were only in the middle of the rise and fall of the rabbit, and the situation was already clear.

The man in black rushed into the house, less than two feet away from Li Weizheng. He took a seat between the door and the window, controlling all Li Weizheng's retreat. At this time, he was not anxious and half lying on the ground, like a poisonous snake with a sure victory, staring at his prey with a cold look.

Sweat had already soaked Li Weizheng's clothes, and bursts of swelling and pain came from his calves. He began to feel dizzy in his head. He knew that he had reached the juncture of life and death.

Suddenly, he seemed to see a black shadow swaying outside the window. With a flash of thought, he kicked towards the wall without hesitation. The instinct of survival stimulated his potential. The sound of wood shattering suddenly appeared on the wall. The man in black also discovered that he had the possibility of escaping. He shouted softly, and a sword light slashed towards his back. Li Weizheng's thoughts were blurred, without any intention of dodging. Just as he was about to die, three cold lights shot in from outside the window, silently sank into the back of the man in black, whose empty door was wide open.

"Fifth Brother!" Yang Ning's voice came from the window.

When Li Wei woke up, it was already dark. He found himself in a forest with no one beside him. A gust of cold wind blew by, and he suddenly felt like his body was burning.

‘Water!’ He struggled to sit up, and a severe pain came from his legs, which almost made him faint, but Li Weizheng's heart fell quietly, his left leg was still there, and there was still pain.

"Fifth brother, don't move!" Yang Ning ran over with a pot of water. He held Li Weizheng and said, "Your wound has just stopped bleeding and cannot move."

"If it weren't for you, I would have died today, thank you." Li Wei was gasping for difficulty.

"Fifth brother, don't talk, drink some water first." Yang Ning helped Li Weizheng's head up and poured him a few sips of water. The spring water was cold and refreshed. The heat in Li Weizheng's heart gradually calmed down. He felt extremely weak all over, his mind was drowsy, and he fell asleep again without realizing it.

When I woke up again, it was already dawn. Dozens of light beams shot into the forest from the treetops. The mist was churning in the light beams. The woods were filled with the fragrance of soil. The pain on my legs was almost impossible to feel. Although I still had no strength, my thoughts were very clear. At this time, Yang Ning's voice came not far away, "The carriage is parked here, and the stretcher follows me in to carry people."

Then the sound of rapid footsteps came, and a man asked under him, "Master, is it him?"

Only then did Li Weizheng find himself hanging in the air. Yang Ning used a rattan strip to weave a blue sling for him. Yang Ning walked up and saw that Li Weizheng had woken up. He smiled and said, "Fifth brother, don't move, I'll let you down."

Jade Lan slowly lowered, and several farmers simply carried Jade Lan and moved him outside the woods without using a stretcher. A carriage was parked outside the forest. The farmer carefully moved him into the carriage. Yang Ning also sat up with his belongings. The carriage slowly started and galloped towards the official road not far away.

Although the carriage was bumpy and undulating, Yang Ning thought it very carefully. He had a thick mattress underneath, and there was no vibration at all. Li Wei turned his head and looked out the window and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go to Wuchang Mansion." Yang Ning checked his leg injuries and said, "I went to Sanmu Village to investigate. Just like the one who asked about it, the servant named Yan came back once ten days ago, and then went to Wuchang Mansion again. Many people in the village knew about it."

Li Wei was silent. After a while, he sighed again: "We were a little careless when we found the body in the pond."

"Yes, they must have been hiding in the woods and peeping. I found someone following me in Miki Village. Then I thought of your safety and rushed over and almost misled you. This is my responsibility!" Yang Ning said with self-blame.

"How can you blame you?" Li Weijing smiled and shook his head, "If I could do one move and half a move, I wouldn't be so embarrassed."

"No! The fifth brother has performed very well. This assassin is really amazing. Even I am not his opponent. In fact, I have arrived when the fifth brother was shot in the leg and has been waiting for the opportunity. If the fifth brother hadn't kicked the wall and distracted his attention, I wouldn't have been able to succeed. The fifth brother's keen reaction is really amazing!"

"How is my leg injury? Can I recover?" Li Weizheng smiled and changed the subject again.

"It's not hurting your muscles and bones, and it's not a big problem. It's a short arrow shot from the crossbow. Although the arrow is poisonous, I can still deal with it. Brother Wu will take care of it for a month and he will recover as before."

Li Wei was pondering for a moment and asked again: "Where is the inn shopkeeper?"

"He is dead, his throat was cut by an assassin."

Li Wei was relieved and slowly closed his eyes. I wonder what kind of turbulent struggles would be encountered in Wuchang?
