Chapter 1382： : Assassinated in Ningzhou Prefecture

Although he felt a little uneasy, Li Chengfeng didn't think of the reason after much deliberation.

In addition, he was really tired from the long journey, so he went back to his room early to rest.

However, it was during the curfew in the capital city of Ningzhou that the whole city was silent.

A group of heavily armed men in black were quietly marching on the eaves.

The direction they were traveling in was the direction where Dong Yushu's mansion, the state capital of Ningzhou, was located.

"In the middle of the night, watch out for candles!" An elderly watchman was beating a gong on the street.

"Stop!" The leading man in black raised his palm when he heard the beeping.

The men in black who followed behind stopped without any hesitation.

Seeing the watchmen getting closer and closer, the leader of the man in black whispered: "Hide!"

Immediately afterwards, he and all the other men in black hid on the other side of the eaves.

The watchman looked up at the eaves and raised the lantern in his hand.

"Huh? Did I hear wrong?" "There are more and more mice in Ningzhou Mansion!"

The watchman looked at the eaves for a while, shook his head, and continued walking forward.

He thought there was a rat in the movement on the eaves just now, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

What he didn't know was that on the other side of the roof, a group of men in black were staring closely at where he left.

Each of them wore black robes, and the leader wore a red mask with a strange red lotus on the mask.

The other men in black all wore black masks, and on the masks were pure flowers.

"The actions of that stupid woman before have been discovered, and the Holy Mother ordered this time, let us show them some color!"

"Follow me!" the leading man in black said softly, and the men in black behind him all nodded.

The next group of men in black continued to walk towards the capital of Ningzhou.

If Li Chengfeng was here at this time, he would definitely recognize that the clothes of these people were exactly the same as that of the white lotus sect man in black in Lingxi County.

Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night...

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengfeng woke up from his room, only to find that the station was in chaos.

There is also a group of soldiers in armor and knives in the hall of the post station.

The postmaster of the official post downstairs is negotiating with the leading soldier.

Xuan Yi Xuan Er was observing the situation downstairs, and did not act rashly.

"I don't care what your identities are, our lord was assassinated last night, everyone is suspect!"

The leading soldier shouted and pushed away the postmaster who was negotiating.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him all rushed to the upstairs wing.

At this time, Li Lizhi and Wu Xu and the other girls in the next room were woken up by the noise and walked out of the door one after another.

"Brother Feng'er, what happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Li Lizhi came out yawning, stretched her waist and asked Li Chengfeng.

"Why are there so many soldiers in the station! What happened?" Wu Xu exclaimed.

"My lord, did something serious happen?"

Fan Meng looked at the situation in the station and asked.

"Don't be nervous, the Ningzhou government was assassinated yesterday, and the soldiers are making daily inspections."

"We are now Chang'an's official merchants, so it doesn't hurt to let them search!" Li Chengfeng said.

After finishing speaking, he also signaled Fan Meng not to worry with his eyes.

His words were not only to remind Fan Meng, but also to prevent Li Lizhi and the others from revealing their identities.

The assassination of the Ningzhou state capital was most likely caused by the White Lotus Sect.

If they knew that Li Lizhi was here, they might come over and do something wrong at some point!

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. It is not a problem to be on guard against them every day!

Li Lizhi and Wu Xu nodded slightly, but they were still a little confused.

The soldiers downstairs quickly came in front of several people.

Seeing that Li Chengfeng and the others looked like children, the leader of the soldiers set his sights on Fan Meng.

"Miss, we are ordered to search for suspicious persons, and we are offended!"

The leading soldier cupped his fists and said to Fan Meng.

They just learned from the postmaster that these officials and merchants are all from the Eighth Prince's residence, so they should not be offended.

Fan Meng was stunned for a while, then looked at Li Chengfeng who was at the side.

Li Chengfeng nodded without any trace, and signaled Fan Meng to let them search.

"Okay then! You can search!" Fan Meng nodded and said to the soldiers.

Seeing that Fan Meng agreed to come down, the leader of the soldiers waved his hand: "Search for me!"

The soldiers entered the room of Li Lizhi and the others and searched.

After about a stick of incense, the soldiers came out of the room.

"Report to Lord Corps, we found nothing suspicious!"

The lead soldier nodded, turned his head and was about to leave but suddenly stopped, and returned to Fan Meng again.

"Sorry, we still want to check your business documents! Please show them!"

The lead soldier looked Fan Meng up and down, keeping his hand on the saber at his waist.

Li Chengfeng and his party just arrived yesterday, and the Ningzhou state capital was assassinated that night. This is really too coincidental.

Before Fan Meng could speak, Li Chengfeng walked up to the soldiers and took out his jade pendant.

"This is the token given to us by the Eighth Prince, please take a look at it." Li Chengfeng handed the jade pendant, leaned over and said.

The lead soldier took the jade pendant from Li Chengfeng's hand, with a troubled expression on his face.

Although he is a little better than other officers and soldiers and knows some characters, he really doesn't know the jade pendant system.

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, we are all big **** and don't know this thing."

"Wait for a while, let's send someone to come over for appraisal!" The leader of the soldiers said to Li Chengfeng.

After speaking, he beckoned, and an officer and soldier behind him left the station and walked straight out.

Li Chengfeng didn't care about these, thinking about why Ningzhou's state capital was attacked.

And it happened that they were assassinated after they came here, so Li Chengfeng inevitably became suspicious.

Could it be that they knew about our itinerary? An idea came to Li Chengfeng's mind.

But soon this idea was rejected by him again. If their itinerary was mastered, the journey would not be so safe and sound.

But this action of the White Lotus Sect is indeed a bit strange. The White Lotus Sect has always acted in secret, why is it so public this time?

Li Chengfeng felt that there must be some reason for it, but this will not be known until after investigation.

Just as Li Chengfeng was thinking, the soldiers who ran out before had already come back.

He also brought a man in brocade clothes, the man was thin and dressed like a frail scholar.

"Master Wang, I can't decide on this jade pendant, please take a look at it..."

The previous leading officers and soldiers were very respectful to Mr. Li walked to him and explained the previous situation.

That Lord Wang took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and then looked at Li Chengfeng and the others.

He bowed and said: "I have seen your lord, and I offended you before, how offended!"

He was dispatched by Chang'an, the soldiers didn't know, but he was clear about the weight of this jade pendant.

This jade pendant is specially made by the Ministry of Rites, seeing this is like seeing the Eighth Prince in person.

The soldiers behind him also saluted one after another: "I've seen you, my lord!"

Fan Meng stepped forward again and took the jade pendant from Mr. Wang.

"You don't need to be too polite, you are all for the safety of Ningzhou Prefecture, and you didn't offend me!" Fan Meng said.

"In that case, let me take my leave first!" Lord Wang returned the jade pendant to Fan Meng, and left the station with the officers and soldiers.
