Chapter 472

Because Xingfangzhai was on Chonghua Street, the driver deliberately slowed down. When the carriage stopped, the figure of the driver had just disappeared at the entrance of Xingfangzhai, and an arrow was shot into the carriage immediately.

After a moment of silence, everyone screamed and shouted, and the crowd ran in all directions.

After a while, there was no one outside Xingfang Zhai, only a carriage parked there motionless, and the people in the carriage didn't know if there was anything wrong.

The driver was about to rush out with the cakes in his arms when Tangning suddenly shouted, "Hide in, don't move!"

As soon as the words fell, a wave of flying arrows shot from all directions at the same time, and the coachman knelt on the ground and shouted: "Ma'am!"

After a while, the surrounding area was so silent that only the howling of the coachman remained. The curtain of the car was slowly lifted from the inside, and Tangning appeared in front of everyone unscathed, with a handful of arrows in her hand. She looked around, as if she was looking for those people's hiding place.

The Imperial Forest Army also rushed over immediately.

"Master Hou, are you not injured?" The visitor asked worriedly.

Tangning stared at the other's familiar face, and raised her eyebrows after a while, "Lu Yang?"

Lu Yang's eyes lit up in vain, "Master Hou has a good memory, he still remembers the younger generation."

Tangning smiled, and there was a trace of gentleness and love in her eyes, "I haven't seen you for many years. The young boy who was young back then has a beautiful beard. Why, now he has joined the Imperial Forest Army?"

Look at him bringing a team of people here, they should be mixed up with official titles.

Lu Yang replied embarrassingly: "This junior is now a captain of the Imperial Forest Army."

"Not bad." Tangning handed the arrow to Lu Yang, and said solemnly, "The other party obviously came prepared. The first arrow shot from the rear of the carriage, and the second shot from eight directions, including east, west, north, south, and so on. Injection, there are no dead ends in all aspects, the determination to kill Mrs. Ben can be learned from time to time, see if you can find some clues."

The corners of Lu Yang's mouth twitched fiercely. He always felt that these words were strange, but when he thought of the other party's murder here, his complexion became extremely ugly again, "Those assassins are too arrogant. How dare the emperor's feet lie in such an ambush in broad daylight?" Lord Hou, I will report the truth in the end."

One can imagine how furious the emperor would be when he heard the news.

Tangning, however, sighed softly and said with a smile, "I can take care of my wife's safety. Captain Lu doesn't have to worry about it. It's the emperor's side...

It's an eventful time, the emperor already has a lot of government affairs, it is inevitable that some places have been negligent, in order to prevent some people from jumping over the wall in a hurry and doing things that endanger the emperor and the country, I also ask Captain Lu to tell Commander Zeng Da to be more vigilant.The closer to the day of the competition, the more restless Xijing will become. "

Lu Yang's face was solemn for a moment, and after saluting to Tangning, he left in a hurry with the Imperial Forest Army.

The coachman ran forward with lingering fear, and asked with red eyes: "Master Hou, I will take you to the medical clinic to show the doctor."

Tangning looked away, straightened her clothes, and got back into the carriage with a calm expression, "If you have that spare time, why don't you drive the carriage and go home!"

Tangning returned home this time and received the unanimous attention of the whole family. Qiu Jingming said to her seriously: "To ensure your safety, from today onwards, you will not leave the house again. Not only you, everyone is not allowed to step outside the house. Half a step out of Dingbei Hou Mansion!"

"Father! We understand that you don't let my mother leave the mansion, but it's unreasonable not to let us out of the mansion. My son has to go to the Imperial Academy!" Qiu Ziyang said, frowning.

This year Chunwei, he and his elder brother both ended up, the elder brother won the first prize, he took the second place, both of them entered the Hanlin Academy, and the elder brother became a veritable teacher of the twelve princes, unless there were special circumstances, they had to enter the palace every day.

"Then bring more people. Nothing is more important than life anyway." Qiu Jingming, who was always gentle and easy-going, suddenly became serious, and everyone didn't dare to bargain any more.

Qiu Zimo pondered: "Who on earth is so daring to kill your mother so hard in broad daylight! And the layout is so subtle, this person's status is extraordinary!"

Xijing is where the imperial city is located. Not to mention that there are heavy guards inside and outside the city, every street and every city in Xijing has set up sentries. If assassins want to accurately ambush from eight directions, they must find the right hiding place. Making sure to avoid all the sentries while still keeping your sights on target is no easy feat.

Tangning nodded slowly, "That's why I have already reminded Lieutenant Lu Yang of the Yulin Military Academy. This guy is the one who went to Fujian with the Fifth Prince to watch the bandits. Reminding him to protect the emperor, I don't know what this guy will do."

"It's someone my mother likes and trustworthy, who will definitely be able to arrange things in an orderly manner, and maybe he can take this opportunity to rise to the top!" Qiu Ziyang said with a relaxed face.

"I hope so!" Tangning said noncommittally.

At the same time, the emperor also received the news of Ping Nanhou's assassination, and overturned the dragon case in anger.

A group of Imperial Forest Army headed by Zeng Pan knelt down on the ground in fear.

"Lawless! Lawless! Damn it!" Ning Chengyun clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and spat out every word.

Zeng Pan bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that Ping Nanhou has never encountered an assassination ambush before, but this is the first time he has been so bold. I have reason to guess that the other party is in a hurry to jump over the wall. Now it is possible to let the people in the dark target Ping Nanhou like this." , and only those military officers competed."

"You don't need to say it!" Ning Chengyun looked gloomy, and said slowly: "No! They are not targeting Ping Nanhou, but targeting me! To act like this under my nose is a naked provocation! Zeng Pan ! I order you to arrest the person behind the scenes within three days, no matter who the other party is!"

Zeng Pan hesitated for a moment, facing the emperor's cold eyes, he could only agree.

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Lu Yang hurriedly caught up with Zeng Pan, "Commander, why did you directly agree to the emperor just now, what if the murderer is not caught within three days, what shall we do?"

Zeng Pan suddenly stopped, turned his head and said expressionlessly: "Cold salad! If the murderer is not found after three days, I, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, will have no face to continue to be a leader. Who made me incompetent!"

Hearing Zeng Pan's self-deprecating words, Lu Yang paused, and said: "Commander, don't be angry, the emperor can't just send you off just because of this, that's too chilling."

"Hang Xin?" Zeng Pan snorted lightly, and said, "Maybe it will be even more chilling if the murderer is found out."

Lu Yang looked puzzled, but Zeng Pan didn't continue to explain to him.

Seeing him go straight out of the palace, Lu Yang hastily asked loudly: "Master Commander, where are you going!"

"Dingbeihou Mansion!"

Dingbeihou House.

Tangning looked at Zeng Pan curiously, "Commander Zeng, you really are a rare visitor!"

Zeng Pan didn't show any face, and said: "What kind of rare visitors! Don't you only have rare visitors when you come to your house?"
