Chapter 1243 Assassination
He walked out of the palace and received his sword at the palace gate.
A tall young man was waiting with his horse on the far side of the road outside the palace gate.
It was a top-notch Hequ horse, much better than the Tiel horse in Mobei.
Step on the horse.
"General, what did the saint say?"
"The saint asked me to go back to Mobei and said that I was enthroned as a Khan."
The tall young man also turned over another horse, "That's great."
"I didn't agree, I don't want to go back."
Luo Ke clamped his horse's belly with his legs and rode his horse slowly forward. "I am the emperor's adopted son. General Hu Ben and founding marquis who have achieved great success by charging into battle, why should I return to Mobei to become a khan?"
The young follower was puzzled, "General, although you are the adopted son of the saint, you are only the adopted son. There are more than a dozen adopted sons of the saint. There are more than a dozen adopted sons of the saint. They are the real dragon sons. The general is just the adopted son, and he is even more a proton."
Luo Keyong just smiled, "So what, of course I know I am just an adopted son. I have never thought about anything else, and the adopted son is enough."
"General, Mobei is our home."
It was drizzling in the sky, flying with a hint of coolness.
Luo Ke raised his head and let the raindrops sprinkle on his face. He murmured, "Home, where is the person I care about the most, where is the home. Mobei no longer has the people I care about, this is my home."
"Go out of the city and go to Daughter Mountain (Xiong'er Mountain)."
"Do you go to the princess' manor again? Shouldn't you go to meet the people from the grassland family at this time?"
"Goodbye when I come back."
After leaving the South City Gate, the two of them urged their horses to run along the Luo River.
Both of them were Hequ horses, and they were well-trained war horses. They cut their horse's hair and tied their hair. The hair brushes were shiny and they ran very rhythmically.
Luo Ke was eager to see the princess of Changsha. A young man in his early twenties was the time when he was most eager for love.
If you don’t see each other for a day, it will be like three autumns apart.
In the mountains, the rain is getting denser.
Between the valleys, rain and mist are vast.
Suddenly, Rock strangled the reins of the horse.
The war horse man stood up.
On the mountain road ahead, a big tree fell down and blocked the way.
Rock frowned. The tree fell a bit strange, unlike the wind blowing down.
"Be careful, it's weird."
The follower said, "Will there be a path-sliding thief under the feet of this emperor?"
This is the capital of Luoyang. The daughter's mountain is not a wild and remote place. It is full of villas and manors for noble officials. Who has the courage to come here to rob?
Luo Keyong did not dismount, but observed left and right with alertness.
"Friend, why not show up?"
There was a sound on both sides of the mountain road and someone came out.
They were wearing straw raincoats and hats.
But Luo Keyong did not relax his vigilance at all, but instead reached his hand to the hilt of the knife around his waist.
These people were obviously carrying weapons under their straw hats and straw raincoats, especially these people were still leading horses.
"Who?"
But the other party never spoke, and even the squinted hat was not raised slightly.
One person drew his sword directly.
The knife is a ring-headed knife, and nothing can be seen.
"Road over, don't look back, go to Princess Manor."
Luo Ke didn't think about turning back, the other party was obviously coming for him.
With the horizontal knife unsheathed, Rock used his fierce urging his horse to move forward.
The follower also drew his sword and rode his horse closely, and the two rushed forward almost in parallel.
Two tall horses slammed over, but the person in front did not retreat.
They also drew their swords and urged their horses to move forward.
The sword and iron clash.
Several people were caught and fell to the ground in a blink of an eye.
Luo Keyong's minion also got the lottery.
"Road forward, don't look back." Luo Kedi just cut down two of them, but he didn't dare to look back. The other party's origin was unknown and there were a lot of them, so there was no need to get entangled here.
The two lowered their heads and laid their saddles and rushed forward. The people behind them chased each other reluctantly, without making a sound from beginning to end.
At this time, Luo Kedi regretted not bringing a bow and crossbow. Today he went to face the saint and was inconvenient to bring these. There was neither a horse spear nor a crossbow. Now he only had a horizontal knife and didn't even have a piece of armor. He decided to come here temporarily, and the guards were not brought with him.
Fortunately, although the people behind were chasing each other, they seemed to have no bows.
Without bows and crossbows, without armor, and just light swords and fast horses, then these people are unlikely to be from the court.
If it were soldiers from the court, they would definitely not be able to fight like this. They would definitely have to ambush the crossbow first, and then they would be surrounded by horse spears and spears.
While galloping, he was anxious and thought, who was going to attack him?
After running for a while, the two riders had already caught up, and even intended to double-team left and right.
Luo Ke jumped onto the saddle, jumped up suddenly, slashed the sword, and knocked one down. He landed on the opponent's horse, and then jumped back to his mount.
On the other hand, his minion also used the same method and tacitly killed another rider.
"General, these people are not like ordinary bandits." The follower shouted.
Luo Ke snorted coldly, how could there be such a brave horse thief at the foot of the emperor in this suburb of Luoyang? Now, how could he find such a bold thief?
The garrisons, county soldiers and militiamen in various places are not vegetarians. If any of the ground is unstable, they may lose their posts and be dismissed. Who will not work hard to suppress the bandits?
If there are still bandits on the border, it is possible, but this is Luoyang, at the foot of the emperor, and in the capital, how is it possible?
"Don't worry about those, run away first."
Luo Keyong did not show off his courage, and it was meaningless to fight with a group of unknown people here and it was unworthy.
When I arrived at the princess' villa, there were many guards there.
The two of them ran quickly and had already thrown away the thief.
As the two of them ran farther and farther away, one of the chasing team raised his right hand.
The remaining twenty riders stopped.
The leader looked at the manor villa that appeared faintly in front of him and waved helplessly to withdraw his marriage.
The riders turned around quickly and left without hesitation.
About two quarters of an hour later, Rock came back with dozens of cavalry, but nothing was found. There were even no human and horse corpses where they had just fought.
"Okay, Luo Keyi, you are not lying to me, right?"
"Princess, how could I lie to you? Someone really ambushed me just now. I looked like about thirty horses, with a light sword and a quick horse. Four or five of us were killed. Look, my guard captain was also injured."
The princess of Changsha was wearing a polo outfit and was holding a crossbow in her hand, half-believing and half-doubting.
Luo Ke jumped off his horse and searched carefully for the ground. After a while, he finally found a piece of new soil of different colors. He dug it up with a knife. Sure enough, the covered blood-seeking soil was exposed below.
"Look, blood, fresh."
Princess Zhou Yuexian came over and took a look, indeed.
"Oh, I didn't expect that in this bright world, someone dared to ambush and assassinate the nobles of the current dynasty in broad daylight. I want to tell my uncle immediately."
"Have you been provoking a noble lady recently, and someone else wants to kill you?"
"The princess is wronged. I don't like anyone except you."
Luo Keyi had already thought about who would kill him.
"Hmph, who wants you to like you? Let's go back first. I'll send someone to Luoyang Prefecture to report the case immediately."
Not long after returning to the princess' villa, Luoyang Mansion really sent someone to come. A Dharma Cavalry brought people here in person, and a group of Xueyantuo people from Mobei were also here.
The leader was Luo Keyong's uncle Nishu.
