The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 274 Assassination

On February , the dragon looked up.

The spring rain pattered down in the northern city, and the people of Shangjun were overjoyed to be bathed in the spring rain.

Jiming Station.

This is a military post station on the outskirts of Shangjun. Weining does not intend to enter Shangjun City, and the heavy troops will rest at Jiming Post tonight.

The army has been traveling for days, making all the soldiers exhausted, and the heavy rain has blocked the advance route, so they can only have a good rest here.

Weining stood under the eaves of the post station with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, and said worriedly: "I don't know how long this rain will delay us."

After traveling less than two hundred miles, you will reach Shuofang County. From Shuofang County to Wuwei County, it is still more than four hundred miles away.

Not surprisingly, Li Guang's army is now approaching Wuwei County, and Huo Qubing and other generals who have come from Chang'an for reinforcements should also arrive in Wuwei County in about two days.

Weining cannot stay in Shangjun for too long.

Zhao Ce came over with tea and said to Wei Ning: "The officers at the post made us some ginger tea to ward off the cold. General, take a sip to warm yourself up."

Wei Ning glanced at Zhao Ce and asked, "Have you tried it?"

Zhao Ce: "Huh?"

"This is a military post. The tea shouldn't be poisonous, right?"

Wei Ning said: "It's better to be careful."

When Wei Qing came, he warned him not to be careless in any case, but to be careful and cautious.

There are more than a thousand soldiers and horses responsible for escorting the baggage. This team is actually large enough.

But the ambush in Langshan still made Weining more vigilant.

He still can't figure out why someone would be stupid enough to hijack the military's food and fodder?

What's the point of a moth flying into a flame?

Zhao Ce had already brought tea to the pigeons brought with the army to drink.

Not long after, Zhao Ce's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly found Weining and said, "General, the tea is poisonous!"

Wei Ning was suddenly startled and said sternly: "Surround this inn!"

"Here!"

Fortunately, the soldiers had not had tea yet. The soldiers drew their weapons and surrounded Jiming Post!

Weining was not in a hurry to arrest people, he was thinking.

Since crossing Jingshui, the road has been turbulent and strange. He doesn't know whether the other party is trying to hijack food and grass or to kill him.

Moreover, he suspected that there were spies in this entourage who could always leak out the itinerary.

There are three inns in Shangjun. Weining had not chosen which one to choose before marching. He decided on it on the way.

Why did the station here make arrangements so early?

He calmly called Zhao Ce and asked him to go out.

As for the situation at Jiming Post, it goes without saying that after the poisoning failed, all ten post officials in Jiming Post committed suicide.

As for whether they were the post officials of Jiming Post, Wei Ning was not sure.

Not long after, Zhao Ce came back, bringing with him the governor of Shangjun.

The governor paid homage to Weining with clasped fists, and said in fear: "I have seen the Marquis of Zhenbei before."

Wei Ning frowned and asked, "Are these corpses the post officials of Jiming Post?"

The governor of Shangjun shook his head hurriedly, "Master Hui, no."

Zhao Ce whispered to Wei Ning: "General, the other two stations are fine."

Wei Ning whispered: "There is a spy in the team, please check his identity."

With a team of more than a thousand people, it would be too time-consuming to check the identity, but if the spies are not found here, the road ahead will be even more difficult.

"Let the large force stay for two days and investigate thoroughly in these two days!"

"good!" ……

The spring rain is still falling in Shangjun these two days. The spring rain is like a beating musical note, making the muddy potholes wet.

Zhao Ce spent a lot of effort, but still hadn't finished the investigation. Time was too slow, and continuing like this would delay the journey too much.

Wei Ning said: "Go and give the order. We will be on our way early tomorrow morning. We will travel fifty miles and rest at Panshan Post."

"Let's see if anyone can tip us off."

Zhao Ce clasped his fists: "Here!"

That night, Zhao Ce came to Weining with a soldier in his arms, cupped his fists and said, "General, we found it."

Wei Ning looked at the old pawn in front of him and couldn't help frowning, with a murderous look on his face, and said: "Who sent you here!"

The old soldier was frightened and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Master Wei, there are seniors and juniors in humble positions. Someone gave me money, saying that as long as I reveal the marching distance, I can get 10,000 yuan."

"I can't resist the temptation in my humble position, so that's why..."

Wei Ning said sternly: "Let me ask you! Who is it?"

The old soldier shook his head and said: "I don't know him, and I don't know him either. When I was in Chang'an, someone found me in a humble position. That person seems to be a member of the army. I don't know him in this humble position!"

Wei Ning glanced at Zhao Ce, waved his hand and said, "Pull him out."

His eyes were cold and sinister. Zhao Ce naturally knew that he wanted to deal with the other party, so he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. He mumbled and wanted to plead for the old pawn, but in the end he did not dare to speak.

They were all soldiers of the Han Dynasty and had been fighting in the army all their lives. He couldn't bear to kill Pao Ze.

Weining stood under the eaves of the corridor with his hands behind his back, weighing in his mind.

Ever since Chang'an, someone has been targeting me?

Is their target this batch of food, or me?

Weining prefers the latter.

When grain was robbed at Dalangshan, he believed that the robbers were really robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and they should have been taken advantage of.

This time the poison was poisoned, and the other party used their own hands.

No matter what, if someone dies, the food must belong to them. If the food is lost, Wei Ning will also die.

From these two incidents, Weining can conclude the pattern. No matter what, Weining's end will be one word, death!

So...their target is me?

My uncle told me to be careful along the way. Does he know anything?

Naturally, it was impossible for Wei Ning to suspect Wei Qing, and it was impossible for Wei Qing to do these things.

After a thorough analysis, Wei Ning suspected that Wei Qing knew someone would deal with me, which meant that when we were in Chang'an, Wei Qing knew who I was secretly making enemies with.

But he is very low-key in Chang'an. He has no hatred and hatred, but he wants to get to the point where he is now in a life-and-death situation?

If we really find out who it is, the other party may have their home confiscated and their clan exterminated!

Killing himself is nothing, but the crime of hijacking military supplies and supplies is too serious!

Closer to home, if my uncle wants to know who will harm him, why doesn’t he warn me in advance?

It shows that Wei Qing is actually not sure, he just has this worry.

Those great Confucian scholars? They don't have the guts!

Liu Huan? Although Liu Huan and I don't want to deal with each other, the world belongs to their Liu family, and he doesn't dare to do such a crazy thing.

He could choose to believe Wei Ning even if he was dealing with him alone, but in order to deal with him, something happened to the baggage train. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about it, would he be able to survive?

According to the temperament of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, even his own sons could be killed. Delaying his military preparations was tantamount to lighting a lantern in the toilet and seeking death.

No one or anything is more important than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacking the Xiongnu. Anyone who blocks the way of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will be killed by the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Then I don’t have any potential enemies in Chang’an. What are the other party’s motives and goals?

Wei Ning didn't think clearly so he didn't think much about it. After the rain abated, he ordered Zhao Ce to march towards Shuofang County as soon as possible.
