Horse on the World

Chapter 407 The Unexpected Murderer

In the middle of the night, in the snowy field a few miles away from Shanglinli City, a black carriage was quietly parked. Dozens of guards on horses were scattered around. They seemed to be disorderly, but they were closely guarded from all directions. Black square cars surround.The carriage has been parked here for nearly an hour,
Inside the car, Qingfeng stared at the direction of Shanglinli City through the car window. He had maintained this posture for a long time. Zhong Jing on one side put the knife across his knees, hugged his knees with his hands, but stared at Qingfeng.

"Miss, Mrs. Jiyue's mother and child are safe, you can rest assured!" Zhong Jing finally couldn't help but speak.

Qingfeng hummed, but didn't look back.

"How about, let's go into the city to see Mrs. Jiyue and your new nephew!" Zhong Jing said again.

Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly, "It's better not to go!"

Zhong Jing lowered her gaze.

"That child's name is An Min?" Qingfeng asked.

"Yes, the commander-in-chief took it on the spot in front of all the officials in Shanglin, saying that he wanted this child to help the world and the people in the future." Zhong Jing said.

"Very good!" A smile appeared on Qingfeng's face.

"About Mrs. Jiyue's accident, Mr. Dingzhou Road and Mr. Shang both sent letters." Zhong Jing said.

"What did they say?"

"Mr. Shang said that it is impossible to investigate, but Mr. Lu said that it is rare to be confused!" Zhong Jing said a little unfairly, "Is it so easy to let the murderer go?"

A stern light flashed in Qingfeng's eyes, "This is also the meaning of the question. If the general asked me at that time, I would say that I couldn't find it."

"Why?" Zhong Jing was puzzled.

Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, "Whether it's the envoy of Qingcheng, or her servants deliberately trying to please the master, it's just an accident if you don't investigate, but if you investigate, more people and things will be involved. , will trigger an earthquake in Dingzhou, what Dingzhou needs now is stability, and what it needs is to concentrate all its energy to deal with the next battle, and everything else can be put aside."

"It's cheaper for these people!" Zhong Jing hurriedly drew his knife out of its sheath, and then thrust it back hard.

"Not necessarily!" Qingfeng sneered, "Zhong Jing, just wait and see, that murderer won't survive tonight."

A look of surprise appeared on Zhong Jing's face, "Miss, do you already have arrangements?"

"It's not that I have made arrangements, but that the people behind that person will not allow him to live." Qingfeng said calmly. "Let's go back, leave tomorrow, let's go to Luoyang."

"Didn't you say you will go after the next year?" Zhong Jing asked.

"I originally planned to go after the new year. I wanted to wait until Jiyue gave birth before I could leave with peace of mind. Now that Jiyue's mother and child are safe, I have nothing to worry about. Let's go before the year. Let's go to Luoyang for the New Year!" Qingfeng said, Glancing at Zhong Jing, "Why, I don't want to part with Hu Zi, do you want to go to Shanglin to say goodbye to him?"

Zhong Jingchi smiled, "That's not it, just leave a letter for him when you go back, Miss, don't you want to tell the commander?"

"Same as you, let's write a book for the handsome man!" Qingfeng said with a smile.

A carriage, dozens of black riders, came at the same time, and disappeared into the snow field in and around the forest without making a sound.

In Shanglinli, Qingcheng's residence, Qingcheng's face was full of solemnity, and the maids and old mothers who followed her to attend the Mulan Festival that day knelt in front of him, with their heads bowed.

"Which one did it?" Qingcheng's voice was full of uncontrollable anger. The image she had painstakingly built in Li Qing's heart collapsed in an instant in yesterday's scene. Yang Yidao's meaningful eyes, Boyan's Slightly mocking words, Li Qing's impatient look, all pierced her heart fiercely like a sharp thorn.

"It's none of our business, princess!" Several young court ladies were terrified and tried to defend themselves. Everyone knew that this incident was a big one.

Among the several terrified court ladies, there was a middle-aged court lady with a calm face. She raised her head and stared at Qingcheng. Qingcheng's eyes narrowed, and she could hardly believe her eyes. "Nurse Rong, is it you?" No wonder Qingcheng was startled, This Nanny Rong has been with Qingcheng since she was a child, almost watching Qingcheng grow up. In Qingcheng's heart, Nanny Rong is someone she is very close to.

"Princess, I did it!" Rong Momo stood up and passed through the kneeling maids in front.

With a clatter, Qingcheng stretched out his hand and knocked down everything on the table beside him, "Why, Nanny Rong, why is it you, why did you do this?"

Nanny Rong looked at Qingcheng, her eyes filled with love and affection. After a while, she straightened her clothes and bowed solemnly to Qingcheng, "Your subordinate, the general, Rong Guifang, has seen the princess."

Qingcheng was stunned, looking at Nanny Rong, her eyes were full of strangeness, "Secretary of the Party, general, Rong Guifang?"

Nanny Rong smiled slightly, "Princess, I have hugged you since you were a little older, and watched you grow up step by step. You always call me Nanny Rong, and you don't know my full name, in fact, since I entered the palace. I have been a member of the Staff Party Division since day one.”

"Zi Fang Si, Yuan Fang, he is so brave, he actually planted Zhi Fang Si's spies by my side?" Qingcheng suddenly became angry.

Nanny Rong took a step forward, "Princess, in fact, every royal family has a spy in front of them, mainly as a guard. I have been with the princess for almost 20 years, and I have never dared to do anything that is not good for you. things."

"Then what now? Why did you do it? Do you know who you can hide from everything you do? Now in the forest, everyone in the world is saying that I Qingcheng secretly ordered me to do it? I will be scolded by thousands of people, and the commander-in-chief will also You won't forgive me." Qingcheng said angrily.

"Mother Rong, why are you doing this?"

Nanny Rong bowed to Qingcheng, glanced at the maids around, Qingcheng waved her hand, "You all go down!"

Only Nanny Rong and Qingcheng were left in the room, "Princess, after I came to Shanglinli, I suddenly received a golden order from the highest-ranking official, ordering me to find the right time to get rid of Mrs. Jiyue!"

"Golden order?" Qingcheng said in shock: "How is it possible? The golden order is only in the hands of the commander Yuan Fang, and now Yuan Fang should be in Xingzhou..." Qingcheng suddenly paused, "You mean Yuan Fang Fang arrived in Shanglin. But why did he come to embarrass me?"

Nanny Rong shook her head: "Princess, Commander Yuan is not embarrassing you, but helping you. Although I don't know the specific situation, Commander Yuan will never make a mistake. He must have a deeper meaning in it. It's a pity that my success fell short, Madam Jiyue escaped this catastrophe, even the child was safe and sound!" Mother Rong showed a regretful look on her face, "If I had known this, I should have found an opportunity to assassinate him directly. "

Qingcheng shuddered, "Nurse Rong, why do you have to put Jiyue to death?"

Mother Rong said: "I don't know, but the golden order I received is like this. Princess, if Mrs. Jiyue and her child die together, no matter what Marshal Li thinks, it is impossible to touch you and your belly." My child, even now, they won't touch you. It's just that Jiyue survived, and your life will be more difficult in the future. But I know that Commander Yuan will definitely come to you. He will help you Get through it."

"Why did he come to me?" Qingcheng said angrily: "As the commander of the official party, he didn't even know Xiao's rebellion. Him, the first thing I did was hack him to death."

"Commander Yuan has always been unpredictable in his actions, princess, but I know that Commander Yuan has always been loyal to Da Chu and the emperor. If one day he comes to you, you must listen to him!" Rong Nam Mammy's face twitched a few times, but her body slowly collapsed.

"Nurse Rong, what's the matter with you?" Qingcheng was startled, seeing that Nanny Rong was about to fall to the ground, she quickly took a step forward and reached out to support her.

At this time, Rong Rong's seven orifices were slowly oozing blood, "Princess, when you called us in, I knew that my time had come, so I took the poison quietly. Everyone has it. Princess, I am dead, and the commander-in-chief will not come to trouble you."

Qingcheng was in a state of disarray, previously hated the person who did it secretly, but at this moment, seeing that the nanny who had accompanied her for 20 years was about to die, she felt terribly uncomfortable, "Nurse Rong, you don't have to die. , Didn’t you say that the commander-in-chief will not do anything to me. Your death will be in vain!”

Nanny Rong smiled, and the smile on her blood-stained face looked very strange, "The secretary's actions, failure is a death sentence, I die, and the princess can be freed, if the commander-in-chief asks, you can Said that I made my own decision and committed suicide afterwards, the commander-in-chief will not get into the matter! It's just a pity that I can't see the baby in your arms born!" Gently stroked Qingcheng's swollen belly, staying for a while, He drooped down suddenly, his head tilted to one side, and he was utterly dead.

Holding Nanny Rong's body, Qingcheng burst into tears.In her heart, after the death of the emperor's elder brother, the second family member also left her.

In Jiyue's room, Li Qing was talking with Jiyue, Xiao Anmin, who was well fed by the nanny, was lying beside Jiyue, sleeping soundly, and Jiyue, who was half lying on the bed, patted him gently with one hand. An Min stared at Li Qing intently, in her opinion, this time was the happiest.No matter what Li Qing said, she would listen quietly.

The door knocked lightly, Li Qing stood up, opened the door, and in the shadows outside the room, a black figure saluted Li Qing, "Commander, I understand everything."

Li Qing walked out of the room, closed the door casually, walked a few steps into the courtyard, and asked, "What's going on?"

In the darkness, the figure whispered what had just happened in Qingcheng Room.Li Qing's body trembled slightly, "Official Secretary?"

"Yes, that mother Rong is called Rong Guifang, and she is a general of the staff! She has committed suicide by taking poison now."

"Good death!" Li Qing sneered.

"Master, is this going to continue?"

"Forget it, stop here, go down!" Li Qing waved his hand, and the shadow quickly faded away in the darkness.

Li Qing was silent for a moment in the courtyard, then strode back into the house.

"Brother, what happened?" Ji Yue was a little worried.

Li Qing said with a smile: "There are so many things going on, it's just that I'm going back to Dingzhou tomorrow, and they came to ask when I'm leaving."
