Horse on the World

Chapter 848 Killing, saving, and framing
Fukang County, a hundred miles away from Ningzhou City, is the only way to the Shiwan Dashan. It is also an important place for the trade between the Qiang people and the Central Plains people in the mountains. complex.Of course, public security can be imagined. Here, people do not rely more on the government to solve problems, but rely on various underground organizations.

Ten miles to the northern suburbs of Fukang County, a manor stands alone, with almost no other residents around. The high courtyard walls and towering watchtowers all show that this manor is not owned by ordinary people.

A waning moon sometimes hid in the clouds, and sometimes came out again, making the earth bright and sometimes dark. The lights above the sentry tower flickered, and the shadows of the sentries were stretched and projected onto the ground outside the courtyard wall.

The monotonous beating of the watch drum sounded, and it was already the third watch, and the whole manor was plunged into darkness except for the dead wind lanterns above the four-corner sentry towers. The blind corners of the watchtower's sight gathered under the courtyard wall.After the first person gestured and gestured, several people dispersed. One of them, like a gecko, swam up along the courtyard wall, while the other raised a crossbow in his hand and aimed at a sentry on this side from afar. Soldiers upstairs.

The person who went up first disappeared above the courtyard wall, and two more people outside began to climb up. In a short while, all the people outside had sneaked into the manor.

And almost at the same time, on the other side of the house, another group of people also sneaked into the manor. On one side of the corner door, the originally closed side door opened wide, and a dozen people entered the room majesticly, and their goals were clear. They were obviously very familiar with this place, and they went straight to their destination without hesitation.

Ma Lanhua, the only daughter of Mata, the king of the Qiang tribe, and the princess concubine of King Ning, Ma Lanhua, was put under house arrest here.

This is a small two-story building independent of other houses. There are more than a dozen guards living downstairs, while the upstairs is the bedroom where Malanhua is imprisoned. There are two rooms with one entrance and one exit. Inside is Malanhua's bedroom. , while outside, there are two female guards who take care of them.It was late at night, and the manor house had fallen into silence. On the second floor of this building hidden among the trees, a candle had already burned more than half, and the candle tears fell on the candlestick, and there were slight crackling sounds from time to time.

Malanhua was sitting at the table, a very thin iron chain above her ankle was connected to a steel ring on the wall, imprisoning her here. Malanhua was tall and plump, but this Since January, there have been great changes, his plump face has become extremely thin, his father died, his daughter was taken away, and he was imprisoned. The powerful Qiang army collapsed in an instant and split into several forces. Some of their husbands were lured to surrender, while the other part refused to surrender and were ruthlessly killed. Only a very small number of people fled, and their lives and deaths are still unknown.

Mata has only one daughter, Ma Lanhua, and the Qiang people have no custom of passing on sons to daughters, so Ma Lanhua has followed Mata since she was a child, and she is no stranger to power struggles. Now, she still can't figure it out. What is this for?What he never expected was that King Ning would be so ruthless and her husband would be so decisive. Compared with the plotters of the Central Plains people, although Mata is considered a hero among the Qiang people, compared with people like King Ning , obviously still too immature.

The tears had already dried up, and Ma Lanhua was ashamed as death. Although her husband didn't kill her, Ma Lanhua didn't think she could live much longer. As long as she was still alive, she would be a hidden danger that could erupt at any time. Obviously, King Ning didn't Knowing that he is still alive, as long as he knows, it is the time of his death.

The husband will temporarily soften his heart when facing him, but the father-in-law King Ning obviously does not.

There was a creaking door downstairs, and Ma Lanhua frowned. Although the sound was very soft, it was extremely ear-piercing in this silent night.Malanhua slowly pulled out a hairpin from her head and held it tightly in her hand.

There were a few short muffled hums, followed by something being thrown on the floor. Ma Lanhua, who was listening attentively, was a little shocked. There were more than a dozen guards guarding her downstairs, none of whom were common hands. It was completely eliminated in such a short period of time, and the person who came here was obviously not ordinary.

The floor trembled slightly, and the sound was almost inaudible, but under Ma Lanhua's full attention, she could still detect subtle changes.

A female guard came in lightly, with a dagger out of its sheath in her hand, "Concubine Shizi, someone has come in." There was a warning light in her eyes, but the dagger in her hand was pressed against Malanhua's vest.

The corner of Ma Lanhua's mouth twitched, and she smiled wryly: "Don't be so nervous, these people are here to kill me, so you don't need to do it for me."

The female guard behind her swallowed hard, obviously extremely nervous.

The outer door was pushed open, and another female guard uttered a scream, and stepped back step by step, back to the inner room. She raised the knife in her hand halfway, but didn't cut it off, because the one held in front of him was A gold medal from Prince Ning's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness King Ning ordered you to come here to handle official business!" A deep and authentic voice said, "Put down your weapons."

The female guard hesitated.

"What's the matter, are you going to disobey your orders?" The gold medal was raised higher, "This is an order from His Royal Highness King Ning himself."

After hesitating for a while, the two female guards finally put down the weapons in their hands and bowed down to the gold medal, "I have seen you before." The moment they kowtowed, a smirk appeared on the corner of the visitor's mouth, and with a wave of his hand, several people behind him rushed forward The sword flashed twice, and the two female guards fell on the floor with a bang, and the blood flowed from their bodies, flowing along the floor to Malanhua's feet.

"Concubine Shizi, I have offended you!" The visitor stepped forward, walked up to Ma Lanhua, looked at her calmly, and said, "We are also following orders." He took out a delicate vial from his bosom, "The It's the peacock gall, after the crown prince swallows it, she can go to another world without any pain."

Malanhua stared at the other party, eyes full of hatred, but the visitor showed no fear, just looked at Malanhua calmly, "Concubine Shizi, save some face for yourself, if I let someone else do it, it will be too late. Somewhat ugly."

Ma Lanhua remained silent, but her gaze gradually turned to sadness.

"Please, Princess Concubine, this is an order personally issued by His Royal Highness King Ning. You should have died a long time ago, and you know it yourself."

"That's what I said, I'm afraid it's not entirely true!" There was a sudden sinister voice outside, the visitor turned pale with shock, and turned his head suddenly, but what he heard was the sound of a continuous crossbow collapsing, and all the flashes of sight flashed in front of him. It was sharp crossbow arrows, and the sound of chirping was endless. Almost at the same time, screams came from upstairs and downstairs at the same time.

The former leader immediately turned around, took out the steel knife in his hand, and swung it at Malanhua sitting in front of the table. Even if he died, he would kill Malanhua first.

Malanhua had already stood up, her unchained toes jumped, the brocade stool jumped up, and flew towards the man, the knife flashed, the brocade stool was broken into two, just as the stool was cut open, the man's body froze , the Malanhua man had already rushed forward, the iron hairpin in his hand was inserted right into his heart, the steel knife was still held high in his hand, but the strength of his whole body was retreating from his body like a tide.With a bang, the man fell to the ground.

"Miss Ma is very skilled!" Later, one of the group of people who was obviously the leader clapped and laughed. "Worthy of being the jewel among the [-] mountains, the princess of the king of the Qiang people."

"Who are you?" Malanhua looked warily at the group of people behind.

"You can call me Su Hu." The visitor walked up to Ma Lanhua with a smile, "We are here to save you, without any malice." With a wave of his hand, a masked man came up behind him and squatted at Ma Lanhua's feet , took out something from his arms.

"Girl Ma, let him unlock the lock for you. There is already a commotion outside. We have to leave immediately, otherwise there will be trouble."

"Who are you?" Ma Lanhua shrank her feet, "I won't go with you unless I make it clear."

Su Hu shrugged helplessly, "Miss Ma, it's okay to tell you, we are the Dingzhou Supervisory Council, and we were ordered to rescue the girl. We didn't have the slightest malice towards the girl, and the girl has seen it. If we come a little later, you will be happy." The soul is insignificant, and his life is gone."

"It's Li Qing's people!" Ma Lanhua suddenly realized, and turned bitterly: "You are not a good person either."

Su Hu was a little annoyed, "Girl Ma, let's save you. Even if you don't thank me, you don't have to speak ill of each other. Hurry up and let us unlock you. Do you really want to die here?"

There was already an alarm sound outside, and Malanhua stretched out her foot. The man had a good trick, and he opened the lock with three strikes, and Malanhua finally regained her freedom.

"Girl Ma, let's go. The escape route has been arranged. We will escort you to a safe place."

Ma Lanhua followed this group of people without saying a word, but she knew in her heart that when Li Qing sent someone to save her, it was not out of pity for herself, but because of her usefulness, so that she could live for others. King Ning is just adding to the chaos, but if he is alive, he will have the opportunity to return to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If he is alive, he will be able to avenge his father. Take advantage of it, it's no big deal.

When the guards in the manor surrounded the small building, Su Hu, Ma Lanhua and his party had already left the manor and disappeared into the night.

On the third day, when Shang Haibo and King Ning were making final deliberations on some details in King Ning's mansion, Zhong Ziqi walked in aggressively, and behind him, some guards followed with several corpses .

"Ziqi, what are you doing?" King Ning asked in shock.

Zhong Ziqi saluted King Ning first, then turned to look at Shang Haibo, "Mr. Shang, please give His Highness King Ning a satisfactory answer to this matter." With a wave of his hand, the guard tore away the corpses. On the white cloth, several corpses covered with arrows immediately appeared in front of King Ning and Shang Haibo.

"What, what does this mean?" Shang Haibo asked puzzled.

"Mr. Shang, don't you understand?" Zhong Ziqi sneered, "Then let me tell you, these dead people belong to the staff department, and they are the spies of your staff department in our Ningzhou. Mr. Shang, you know Did they die there? They died at the place where the Crown Princess was imprisoned. They were shot to death by random arrows from the guards there, but their accomplices disappeared with the Crown Princess. The people I sent were also killed. " Zhong Ziqi said angrily.

King Ning was furious, "Mr. Shang, what does this mean? Since you have reached an agreement with me, why did the Secretary of the Party take Malanhua away again? Do you want to start a new one?"

Shang Haibo also changed his color, believing that Zhong Ziqi would never mistake the identities of these people, could it be that Yuan Fang really took Malanhua away?He cupped his hands to King Ning and said, "Your Highness, I really don't know about this matter, and it is still uncertain whether Master Yuan Fang did it, but I am here to assure His Highness, if it is true that the Secretary of the Party took Malanhua, I will definitely not let this woman appear alive on Shiwan Dashan!"
