Chapter 1261
Chapter 1261
The determination of the Hao family to kill people is very firm, and Shangguan and his son are already on their must-kill list.
Moreover, their ability to execute the murder was also very high. As soon as Shangguan and his son left the city gate, the assassins disguised as caravans had already caught up with them.
The road outside Chang'an City is relatively flat, Shangguan father and son and the four officials walk easily, but Shangguan Yi is old and has been pampered for many years. After walking for several miles, he became tired and had to slow down. .
The expressions of the four officials were very impatient. After they left the city gate, their attitude towards Shangguan and his son changed, becoming a little fierce and indifferent.
Before Shangguanyi left the city, she clearly saw that her family secretly stuffed silver cakes for the four officials, and the weight was not light, and the officials also accepted it with a smile.
With such a bad attitude after taking the money, Shangguanyi seemed to understand something, and secretly sighed.
If it wasn't for Li Qinzai's arrangements, not to mention the assassins on the way demanding their lives, even these four officials would have been bribed long ago, waiting to kill their father and son.
The road is difficult and dangerous, and there are many murderous intentions. This road of exile basically leads to the gate of hell.
He set off early in the morning and only traveled about ten miles at noon. Shangguanyi was so tired that his face was pale, and he could barely go on with Shangguan Tingzhi's support.
The assassins disguised as a caravan followed slowly, and they were not in a hurry.
This place has just left Chang'an City, and it's not yet time to make a move.
If Shangguan and his son were killed outside Chang'an city just after they set off, the emperor and the court would not be able to explain it.
The plan of the assassins is to follow Shangguan and his son until they leave the Guanzhong, preferably across the Yangtze River. Then they will attack. After they kill someone, they will cause accidental scenes, such as accidentally falling off a cliff, accidentally falling into the water while taking a boat, and drowning. etc.
After the local officials surveyed, the case was finalized and reported to the imperial court, and the matter was considered a perfect solution.
It's still very early, all the assassins have to do is follow.
However, after walking ten miles, something unexpected happened.
A cavalry team wearing armor and holding a halberd stopped quietly in the middle of the road.
This cavalry team was well-equipped, and they just parked quietly in the middle of the road, but they exuded a majestic power, like an unshakable mountain, and the damn oppressive feeling made people breathless.
The assassins disguised as a caravan stopped immediately, facing the cavalry several meters away.
The assassins looked flustered and fearful. Although the two sides did not say a word, the assassins knew that something unexpected had happened.
This well-equipped cavalry team looks like it has experienced real battlefield fighting. In terms of force and experience in fighting, assassins cannot fight back in front of a real battle formation. No matter how hard they try, they can only be crushed. The end of the pressure.
And this cavalry team stopped in the middle of the road, obviously coming for the assassins.
The two sides faced off for a long time, and the first assassin stepped forward cautiously. At this time, he had not forgotten his identity. He was the owner of this caravan.
"This general, dare to ask..." The leading assassin had just started, but was interrupted by the leader of the cavalry.
"I was ordered by the Duke of Liaodong to escort Shangguan and his son to Qiongzhou along the way. You can either go back the same way or fight with me. It's your choice."
The head of the cavalry team is a deputy captain of the British government, Feng Su's deputy, and he is responsible for the mission of protecting Shangguan and his son this time.
The assassins were startled, and the caravan suddenly became restless.
Duke of Liaodong... Li Qinzai?
He got involved?
The deputy team was speaking very bluntly, and straight to the point, which showed that they had already seen through the identity and purpose of the assassins, and the two sides simply showed their cards.
The leading assassin frowned, and didn't bother to hide his identity. He said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency really obeyed Duke Li's order? Dare I ask, does Duke Li know what he is doing?"
The deputy team was squinting his eyes and showing a mocking smile: "Are you threatening my Duke?"
Seeing the kind smile on the deputy team's face, the assassin clearly felt a chill and murderous intent.
The assassins were raised by prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. They seldom interacted with military men, but they knew that military men never talk nonsense. Once they wanted to kill, they would do it as soon as they said they wanted to.
The assassin hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I have absolutely no intention of threatening, and I'm just taking orders from others, so I would like to ask your Excellency to give you a word, so that I can go back and return to my command. Does the Duke of Liaodong really want to protect Shangguan and his son? "
The deputy team was riding on the horse, straightened up, and stared at him indifferently.
"That's right, my county lord said that from Chang'an to Qiongzhou, Shangguan father and son can't lose a hair. This is what my county lord means. You can go back and tell your master verbatim."
The cavalry team of 200 people was in front, and the assassins certainly didn't have the guts to fight them.
So the assassin clasped his fists resolutely, and said: "It's good to have this exact sentence from your Excellency. I'll go back the same way and leave!"
The deputy team said with a smile that was not a smile: "Farewell, I hope we won't see each other again, otherwise it will be time for you to die."
The assassin didn't dare to say anything, and dozens of people galloped towards Chang'an City.
Watching their backs disappear, the deputy captain just looked away, and said: "March immediately, catch up with Shangguan and his son, the four escort officials also have problems, they must be punished, and let them be more honest on the road."
The [-] members of the trilogy suddenly responded, and everyone rode their horses and galloped forward.
…………
As the assassins came back halfway and told the important news to their masters, the chiefs of the Jiangnan wealthy families who were resident in Chang'an City were shocked.
Li Qinzai, Duke of Liaodong County, went off in person, threatening to protect Shangguan and his son. The action plan, which had no suspense, suddenly became complicated.
The chiefs of the wealthy family gathered together to discuss for a long time, and everyone was serious about Li Qinzai's intentions.
This accident was unexpected by everyone. Duke Liaodong's background, his status, and his weight are not comparable to a pair of Shangguan father and son.
With Li Qinzai's public end, things have become very complicated. There are only two choices before the Jiangnan nobles, either choose to give up the assassination of Shangguan and his son, or fight Li Qinzai hard, betting that he dare not offend the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River.
While a group of people discussed Li Qinzai's intentions anxiously, Li Qinzai was playing with his four children in the Duke's mansion.
A piece of land next to the garden in the backyard was compacted by servants, and then Li Qinzai dug a few small holes in the ground.
Including Li Qinzai, everyone held five small marbles made of clay in their hands. Li Qinzai led the children to lie on the ground and taught them how to play marbles.
"Whoever occupies all four holes first, wins. The rules are as simple as that." Li Qinzai said while speaking, with his index finger bent, his thumb driving the marble, and flicking hard...
The marbles were ejected quickly, but the accuracy was extremely poor, and it was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the target small pit.
The four children looked at him inexplicably, and their original expressions of admiration gradually became puzzled.
"Didn't you go into that little hole? Why did daddy play so—so far?" Qiao'er asked straightforwardly, without giving the old father any face.
Li Qinzai's face was sullen: "What do you know! Those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region, just like playing chess. I am laying out the entire chessboard in advance."
Qiao'er showed a dazed look, then lay down and flicked her thumb...
The marbles came out in response, and obediently entered the pit.
Facing Li Qinzai's surprised eyes, Qiao'er giggled and said, "Your child is still young, so you don't need to plan the overall situation, just get in if there is a pit."
The old father lost his face a little bit, Li Qinzai wanted to give this unfilial son a little bit of power, but playing marbles is not something that can be played superbly just by letting go of the domineering spirit.
He flicked the marble far away again, and Qiao'er won the victory without any suspense. After the victory, this guy became more and more carried away, and dared to openly mock his father.
Li Qinzai turned his face, and those with strength decide the rules of the game.
"You are smiling so proudly. Have you finished your homework for today?" Li Qinzai asked abruptly.
Qiao'er's laughter faltered, like a rooster that was suddenly strangled by its neck while it was crowing.
"Father, you are playing tricks..." Qiao'er protested weakly.
Li Qinzai looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "So this is called 'spoofing'... um!"
Then he lowered his head to look at Qiao'er, Li Qinzai said sharply, "That's right, I cheated, what can you do with me?"
Snatching the marbles that Qiao'er had won, Li Qinzai said, "The marbles are confiscated. You should do your homework. The baby is still young. Your most important task now is to study..."
Immediately, Li Qinzai looked at Kun'er and Wan'er with a pleasing expression, and said with a smile, "Ignore him, the three of us are playing together, and I promise not to play tricks."
