Reborn pretty princess

Chapter 241 Sudden Assassination

The direction from which the voice came was the main courtyard in the center of the entire City Commander's Mansion, where Li Junru lived.

Fengwei listened to the more and more intense battle sounds in the air, and sat on the couch waiting without saying a word, while Qingxue and Xiangtong stood behind her guarding her, and watched the movement around them vigilantly.

Outside the room were the guards who quickly assembled, drawing their swords out of their sheaths one by one, and surrounded Fengwei's room.

After a while, the voices of the battle gradually subsided, and it was obvious that the winner had already been decided.

"Your Highness, all the culprits have been captured, please deal with them, Your Highness." A personal guard knocked on the door and reported.

Fengwei nodded, got up and walked out, Qingxue and Xiangtong put away their weapons and followed behind her.

Push the door and step out, outside the room, there are more than a dozen people tied up in five hairs, kneeling down on the ground under the pressure of the guards. These people are dressed in shabby clothes, but they don't look like beggars. Pressing and struggling constantly.

Feng Wei frowned, these people don't look like assassins!How is this going?

The big man seemed to have heard the sound of Feng Wei's approaching footsteps, and he struggled harder, yelling "Woooo".

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Feng Wei waved her hand, signaling to the two guards who were pressing down on him to remove the cloth strip stuffed in his mouth.

As soon as his mouth was free, the big man knocked his head on the ground with a "bang" and hissed: "Princess, I know that attacking the mansion is a capital offense, and I am willing to die! Please spare my brothers! Please! you!"

Feng Wei glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Assassinate me and still try to let you go, are you bullying me when I am young and soft-hearted?"

"I'm going to kill Li Junru!" The big man retorted resolutely, he didn't kowtow, he knelt straight and looked directly at Fengwei, "That dog official ruined my family, I swear to kill him! It's a pity that God's will tricks people , he is not in the mansion!"

The more he spoke, the more he gritted his teeth, and the resentment in his words was obvious, "The eldest princess wants to kill me, and I am willing to die! I just hope that His Highness will spare me and my brothers. They are all poor people, and they were bewitched by me... ..."

When he said this, everyone around became excited, struggling fiercely one by one, and murmured one after another.

"Sophistry! Do you think you can get away with this? Who in Jiaozhi doesn't know that Li Junru has absconded in fear of crime! Don't you know?" the commander of the personal guards who arrested them shouted.

The big man in the lead was taken aback, and said in shock: "He...he...he is not a city order? He fled in fear of crime? Haha...he finally got his retribution! Retribution! Haha!" The big man looked up to the sky and laughed He got up, smiled and laughed, he shed tears and looked like a madman, "Li Junru! I have been trying my best for so many years! In the end, I still failed to kill you! I hate you! I hate you!"

Seeing his crazy appearance, Feng Wei frowned, and explained to the guards beside him: "Take him down, find out what's going on, and report back."

"Yes." The personal guard took the order, and with a wave of his hand, brought the dozen or so people down.

The interrogation didn't take long, the big man answered every question, and quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

It turned out that the big man was named Xu Tong, a native of Lishan Mountain in Jiaozhi, who had served in the army. After retiring from the army, because of his good martial arts, he married a beautiful wife who was famous in ten miles and eight villages. After saving some money, he went to the city to start a grain business, and gradually, he began to have a little surplus.But later, he didn't know where he offended Li Junru, and the grain store was sealed up for no reason. He refused to accept and resisted, and was arrested. His wife was also defiled by Li Junru, and she died pregnant with his son.

When Xu Tong heard that he was not crazy, he escaped from the prison and ran out, lurking outside the city, looking for a chance to kill Li Junru wholeheartedly.Because of his outstanding martial arts skills and his righteousness, he soon gathered a large group of people, big and small, who had enemies with the noble officials in the city.

As for why he didn't know that Li Junru had been dismissed and arrested, it was because at that time he took a group of men to go elsewhere to raise food.

When refugees began to appear outside the city, he couldn't bear to see the tragic situation, and he would help out from time to time, and he had a high prestige among the refugees.

His words were quickly confirmed, and Feng Wei couldn't help but look at this big man named Xu Tong differently. It's really rare to have such a benevolent heart despite a great hatred.

Even Qingxue and Xiangtong pleaded for them.

Such a person, since it has been proved that he is not here to assassinate her, Fengwei will naturally not want to deal with them anymore, and after finding out the reason, she ordered them to be released.

In the early morning of the second day, Feng Wei had just washed up when she heard a report from her personal guard, saying that Xu Tong had asked to see her.

Feng Wei shook her head and said, "If it's to thank you, let him go back."

The personal guard took the order to answer, but came back later and said: "Your Highness, Xu Tong said that he has something very important and must meet His Highness."

something very urgent?Feng Wei looked out the window, it was still early, and she could delay for a while, so she nodded and said, "Bring him here."

"Yes."

After a while, Xu Tong walked in behind the guard.

"Princess." He bowed respectfully.

"Well, sit down." Fengwei responded lightly, waved her sleeves to signal him to sit down, and then Xiangtong brought hot tea, Xu Tong hurriedly reached out to take it, Xiangtong raised her hand with a smile, walked around over the table he placed in front of him.

Perhaps it was because Feng Wei's expression was too indifferent, Xu Tong seemed very embarrassed, Feng Wei slightly slowed down her voice, and said, "Don't be nervous, just say what you want to say."

Xu Tong nodded and was silent for a while before he seemed to make up his mind and said: "Your Highness, I have a secret discovery to tell Your Highness when I come this time!" He lowered his voice, "I found a treasure I also quietly avoided all the brothers to investigate, and found that there are many traps near the entrance of the cave, I went deep into it for less than three steps, and almost died inside."

Treasure land?Hearing it suddenly, Rao Fengwei was also taken aback, "The land of treasures? How did you see it?"

Xu Tong said with certainty: "It is indeed a place of treasure. The entrance of the cave is hidden in a deep cave, and there is a stone wall next to it. There are many words written on it. I am illiterate, and I can't see anything, but it is full of words. I know the totem painted on the stone wall, it is Ningguo's Soaring Snake!"

Ningguo? !Feng Wei tightened her hands in her sleeves, could it be the treasure house of the previous dynasty?

Wuling used to be the capital of Ning State, not far from Jiaozhi. It is also very possible that the treasure house of the previous dynasty is located here. Could it be that Xu Tong discovered it?

However, if it was really a treasure, why did he tell himself?
