Chapter 539 Assassination

Yunzheng stayed in Luoxia Mountain for two days.

The main purpose is to re-plan the cavalry training camp in Luoxia Mountain.

Since it is a military academy, classrooms must be built, including some other simple facilities.

Well, we still need to get a large sand table.

Of course, Yunzheng would never be able to focus on his career.

Now that we're all here, we definitely need to take a dip in this hot spring.

Unfortunately, Shen Luoyan was pregnant and, following Miaoyin's suggestion, was unable to take a bath in the hot spring, which completely ruined Yun Zheng's plan for the four of them to take a bath together.

Fortunately, Miaoyin and Ye Zi accompanied him to soak in the hot springs.

Only they themselves can experience the wonderful taste.

However, the price was that they were teased by Shen Luoyan all the time on their way back to Dingbei.

Yun Zheng and Miao Yin were okay, but Ye Zi was thin-skinned and kept trying to screw Yun Zheng, the bastard.

It's all because of this bastard!

Fortunately, they are all members of my own family.

If anyone else knew about these things, she would be so ashamed that she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Your Highness, there seem to be refugees ahead."

Tong Gang's voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage.

Refugees?

Yun Zheng opened the curtain of the carriage and stuck his head out to look outside.

On the edge of the official road ahead, more than a dozen ragged refugees were walking slowly under the scorching sun.

Basically, they were holding a dead tree as a walking stick and carrying a tattered bag on their back.

Among the crowd, there was also a little girl dressed in rags, who looked to be about the same size as Shen Nianci.

"Go and ask them if they moved here from within the Pass."

Yunzheng ordered.

"Yes!"

Tong Gang took the order and immediately sent two people to ask.

Knowing that there were refugees, the three women in the carriage also stuck their heads out to look around.

Soon, the person who went to inquire came back to report.

These more than ten people were not refugees who had migrated from the pass. They were people from Tianhu.

However, they are all from poor families, basically similar to refugees.

I heard that the people in Shuofang were living well, so I planned to go to Shuofang to join my relatives.

Looking at the appearance of these people, Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh softly.

A long way to go!

Before, I was only focused on fighting and didn't have much time to care about people's livelihood.

Now that the battle is over, it's time to take care of people's livelihood.

We don’t want every household in Shuobei to have wine and meat every meal, but we just want every family to be fed and clothed.

When you become the governor of Shuobei, you have to bring benefits to the people of that area.

Shen Luoyan took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the person who reported it, "Give it to them and say it was rewarded by the prince."

One person took the silver and immediately ran to those people with the silver.

After receiving the money, those people knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing and talking to the guards who gave the money.

Not long after, the guards came over again, "Your Highness, they said they wanted to thank His Highness in person."

Yunzheng thought for a moment and said, "Bring it here!"

"Yes!"

The guards took the order and left, and Yun Zheng and the three women in the car also walked out of the carriage.

Over there, the personal guards were already walking this way with more than a dozen people.

As she watched, Miaoyin's eyelids suddenly twitched, and she immediately ordered in a low voice: "Tong Gang, please be careful! There seems to be something wrong with these people!"

Tong Gang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately quietly ordered the guards surrounding the horse to be careful.

"Um?"

Yunzheng frowned slightly and asked Miaoyin in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

A cold light flashed in Miaoyin's eyes, and she replied in a low voice: "These people are dressed in rags. They should be very poor people, but their bodies are not thin! Look at them staggering when they walk. He looks unsteady, does he look like he's just pretending..."

After Miaoyin said this, several people immediately observed this group of people carefully.

Yes!

This group of people looked like they were dying, and they felt like they were going to fall down at any moment, but they didn't fall down.

At first glance it seems to be completely fine.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that this deliberate trace seems to be too serious.

assassin?

A cold light flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes, and he immediately ordered Tong Gang: "When it gets a little closer, take it down immediately! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

He would rather make a mistake and compensate these people later than make fun of himself and his woman's life.

Moreover, according to Miaoyin, this group of people is indeed suspicious.

Tong Gang accepted the order and immediately gave the order in a low voice.

Soon, the group of people entered a position less than fifty meters away from them.

Tong Gang immediately led people forward and said with a smile to an old man with gray hair, "Old man, let me help you!"

Just when the old man was about to refuse, Tong Gang had already stepped forward to help the old man, and the other guards also stepped forward to help others.

The moment they approached, the Guards suddenly drew their swords and put them on the necks of those people.

Their sudden actions made these people a little confused.

"Do it!"

After a brief moment of confusion, the crowd suddenly let out a loud roar.

In an instant, all these people who seemed to be dying seemed to have turned into evil wolves.

He is indeed an assassin!

Tong Gang immediately drew his sword and killed the assassin who was holding his hand with one blow.

The others also quickly took action.

A flash of sword light flashed, and several people were killed on the spot.

However, there were still a few assassins who reacted quickly and used their canes to deflect the knife placed on their necks, and with their backhand, they pulled out the swords disguised as canes.

The two guards were unable to dodge and were wiped on the neck by the assassin on the spot.

"Woooo..."

This sudden scene frightened the little girl so much that she squatted on the ground holding her head and crying loudly.

All the guards paid no attention to the little girl and started killing others.

In an instant, a group of assassins fought with Yunzheng's bodyguards.

Several of them were quite skilled, and several of the guardsmen were slightly injured.

"Everyone retreat! Crossbowmen prepare!"

Yuan Gang didn't want to add any more unnecessary casualties, so he yelled with a frosty face.

Following Yuan Gang's order, the guards who were besieging several people immediately retreated, and all the crossbowmen pressed forward.

In an instant, a crossbow was aimed at several assassins who were stubbornly resisting.

Facing the dense crossbow arrows, this group of people couldn't help but look at each other silently.

"Put down your weapons! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

Tong Gang shouted murderously and raised his hand suddenly.

As long as his big hand falls, it will be a scene where thousands of arrows are fired.

If they didn't want to capture them alive, these people would have been shot into sieves at this time.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, the few people who resisted suddenly spit out black blood from their mouths, and their bodies fell to the ground crookedly, lying there twitching continuously.

Tong Gang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly ordered someone to come forward to investigate.

Several personal guards checked the breathing of several people and shook their heads slightly at Tong Gang.

died!

A cold light flashed in Tong Gang's eyes, and he quickly turned around and ran towards Yun Zheng, "Your Highness, those people committed suicide. The general guesses that they should have hidden poison in their mouths in advance..."

Did you hide poison in your mouth in advance?

The eyes of Yunzheng and others flashed with cold light.

Isn't this a dead soldier?

If you fail to complete the task, there is only death.

He would rather die than be captured alive to prevent himself from being tortured and revealing the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Go ask that kid and find out what's going on!"

Yunzheng ordered.
