Chapter 76 Female Assassin
When the guard guard of the prison guard brought Li Jiancheng's oral order to Chen Ying's mansion in Boji Lane, Chen Ying's first reaction was to run quickly and run as far as possible. However, Chen Ying was not stupid. He asked the coachman Lao Zhou quietly. Lao Zhou pretended to go to the front door and backyard and finally found that there was only one guard of the prison guard who came to Chen's mansion.
Of course, it was not the one who came to capture him. Chen Ying thought about it and decided to take a risk. Chen Ying followed the warrior in the prison guard and slowly came to the Ganlu Palace. Chen Ying's muscles were tense and he ran away as he was about to scatter. Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief without seeing the swordsman.
"My memory, Chen Ying, the general manager of Lingzhou, bowed to Your Majesty!"
Li Yuan, who was beyond Chen Ying's expectations, did not say anything like "I am not etiquette and calm", but shouted sternly: "Chen Ying, you are so brave. As a general of the border town, you don't have fish talismans or imperial edicts, and you will return to Beijing without a single person. What crime should Pei Jianchen be punished!"
Hearing this, the happiest person was Li Daoxing, the Duke of Guangning County. His eyes were shining with splendor, and he wanted to act as a tyrant and tear Chen Ying into pieces.
Li Shimin didn't understand Li Yuan anymore. Although Chen Ying came to Chang'an alone, Dingyuan's army was far away in Lingzhou. Once the news of Chen Ying being killed in Chang'an reached Lingzhou, the soldiers of the Dingyuan army would probably no longer believe in the court. It can be said that at this time, no matter what reason to kill Chen Ying, it would have many disadvantages and no benefits for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng quietly, but at this time Li Jiancheng looked unscathed, and did not look at Chen Ying, nor did he look at Li Yuan, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The sweat on Chen Ying's face instantly flowed down: "Return... Report, Your Majesty, I'm afraid!"
"Scared, what is this reason?" Li Yuan's tone became colder and his face became gloomy. Li Yuan gave a wink to Yu Yanzhang, the general guard of the left prison. Yu Yanzhang nodded, indicating that he understood Li Yuan's meaning. Yu Yanzhang waved his hand gently, and dozens of prison warriors wearing bright silver light armor on both sides and holding sharp swords in their hands took a neat step forward.
The horizontal sword in Chen Ying's hand had been searched by the prison guard, but when he came to the palace alone, Chen Ying was not unprepared. He put on his arm and folded shield. Although the shield was a defensive weapon, it was impossible to pierce the armor along the sharp shield, but it should be no problem to cut Li Yuan's neck.
At this time, Chen Ying calculated silently in his heart that there would definitely be hidden crossbowmen in the entire hall ten steps away from him. As long as he started, he would probably have been shot into a hedgehog without touching Li Yuan.
Li Yuan took two or three steps forward, his eyes as lightning as he looked Chen Ying's eyes: "Are you afraid of me?"
At this time, Li Yuan was only more than six steps away from Chen Ying, and Chen Ying calculated silently. If a strong crossbow shot at him at a speed of fifty steps per breath, the crossbowman in his sight was far away from fifty steps, and he was trying his best to do so. After he was shot in the arrow, he should be able to hurt Li Yuan by relying on his huge inertia.
However, at this moment, Chen Ying noticed that Li Jiancheng's gaze became strange. Although it only flashed, Chen Ying still felt it subtly. Chen Ying pretended to be scared and stammered: "Return... report... Your Majesty, I am very scared!"
Li Yuan took another step forward. Li Yuan knew how to use his power very much. At this time, Li Yuan stood and Chen Ying knelt. Li Yuan was condescending and released huge pressure on Chen Ying.
"Is it worth scaring you like this?" Li Yuan's voice suddenly raised three points: "Answer me, right?"
Chen Ying's face was sweating more, with a tremolo in his voice: "I am very scared. Liu Zhongzhi, the previous commander of the military commander of the military commander, asked me for a bribe. Before I agreed, he falsely accused the empress of the insignificance of the empress. Fortunately, your Majesty clearly understood the ten thousand miles. However, my second commander of the military commander of the military commander had not yet taken office, but was assassinated in Gaoping. Two consecutive commanders of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander of the military commander, was assassinated by the Crown Prince. Today, your Majesty summoned him and I happened to have a copy of the report."
As he said that, Chen Ying took out a memorial from his arms.
Li Yuan took the memorial and continued to read.
Just as the moment he saw Chen Ying’s memorial, Li Yuan’s face suddenly became very exciting.
"Retire yourself back to your hometown, abandon your family and return to your country?" Li Yuan closed the memorial and threw it on Chen Ying's head: "The hair has not grown yet, and you actually want to retire and return to your hometown?"
Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing and other old ministers laughed when they heard this.
Li Shimin also had a playful smile on his face. Of course, he was also a general who had been fighting for the rest of his life and was very sensitive to murderous aura. Especially when Li Yuan walked into Chen Ying, Chen Ying's murderous aura was the heaviest. For some reason, Chen Ying's murderous aura actually dissipated strangely.
Chen Ying picked up the memorial, held it over his head with both hands, and said respectfully: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to be a good man. I am really afraid. This official is really hard to be an official. I don't want to be an official anymore. Please give up your majesty and return to the land. I can return to my hometown to be a small landlord with peace of mind when I get the 1,500 acres of land that I have given to you. I can read, write books, and entertain myself in my spare time..."
Trust is the most unbearable to guess the harm caused by speculation. If you can test it less once, you will test it less once. If the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was Li Jiancheng, with Li Jiancheng's trust in Chen Ying, Chen Ying would never let Li Jiancheng down. However, Li Yuan's suspicion of Chen Ying made Chen Ying feel cold.
Li Yuan was very superstitious about the art of emperors. In fact, the so-called art of emperors, to put it bluntly, is a slap in the face, which is a mess in the future. When he threatened Chen Ying, Li Yuan said with a grudge: "I, don't be allowed, go back to Lingzhou, take your troops and guard Lingzhou City. I will not hesitate to reward you. Otherwise, the military law will be ruthless."
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please take back Cheng's mission. I am too young and it is difficult to take the responsibility. I should go back to my hometown to farm."
Li Yuan showed a silent expression: "Pei Jian, look, this matter?"
Pei Ji bowed and said, "I think General Chen is exhausted, so why not let him go back to his house and keep him for a while!"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "That's OK!"
Li Yuan carefully observed Chen Ying's eyes, and Chen Ying deliberately showed ecstasy: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Without waiting for Li Yuan's order, Chen Ying took out the Lingzhou general manager and Dingyuan Junzhen in his arms and half a piece of fish talisman from his arms, put the helmet on his head on the ground, and then ran out of the hall without looking back. Especially when he ran to the steps of His Highness, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying's figure and was stunned: "This..."
Pei Ji looked incredible and speechless for a long time.
Li Shimin was stunned.
Liu Wenjing was as stupid as a chicken.
...
Chen Ying ran all the way back to the Marquis of Wugong. Chen Ying was originally the chief supervisor of Lingzhou. According to the Tang Dynasty system, there were six gate halberds on both sides of his private door, declaring to people that the owner of the mansion was a third-rank official of the court. When Chen Ying returned to the mansion, he felt a little annoying when he looked at the twelve gate halberds.
Chen Yingchong said, "Catch all these halberds!"
"Covered?" Si Yan asked in confusion: "Marty, how can you just accept it?"
"What's the point? I'll just accept it if I say I'll accept it!"
Si Chang shook his head, opened his mouth, and finally sighed and put away the door halberds one by one.
The news of Chen Ying resigning from Li Yuan quickly spread throughout the mansion. All the servants, including Lan'er, looked at Chen Ying with a different look. They always felt that "the Marquis seemed to have lost his soul and became a fool. He didn't even take charge of the third-rank lower-rank official. What are you going to do?"
Lan'er didn't understand Chen Ying very much, and knew that Chen Ying's resignation was even more distant. She was very unhappy in her heart, and Lan'er's little sex also came up. Not only did she avoid Chen Ying, but even the Hongxiu and Luzhu sisters were supported by Lan'er as if they were like a top, and she didn't even have time to talk to Chen Ying.
Looking at Lan'er's angry look, Chen Ying felt that the unhappiness in his heart was wiped out. Chen Ying naturally knew that Li Yuan was suspicious by nature. If he wanted Li Yuan to relieve his doubts, he simply resigned from office and refused to do so. Anyway, with the character of Princess Yicheng, as long as Chu Luo Khan gained a foothold in the Eastern Turkic Khan, Princess Yicheng would definitely bewitched Chu Luo Khan and Liver set up an attack on the Tang Dynasty.
If he was defending the Tang Dynasty, Chuluo Khan really dared not attack Lingzhou, but once he learned that he was not in Lingzhou, there was absolutely no reason for Shi Lifushi to let Lingzhou go, and he would definitely use Lingzhou as a place to avenge his shame. At that time, Lingzhou would become a big pit. Whoever jumped and died, he would only be reluctant to leave Lingzhou under Li Yuan's repeated requests.
Of course, there is no need to tell Lan'er about these things. Of course, she won't understand them, either.
Lan'er is like a willful child, supporting the busy people in the palace. No one has time to pay attention to Chen Ying, and Chen Ying is not angry. Instead, he used this time to arrange his future Lingzhou development plan in detail. The iron and coal produced in Lingzhou can build Lingzhou into an industrial base. Of course, the abundant salt production in Lingzhou can also be used as a flagship industry.
In addition to industry, Lingzhou's agriculture is naturally not spared. Chen Ying read some novels in later generations, which suggested that horse-pull plows can thirty acres per day with two horses. If this is the case, it would be less difficult for a household to reclaim 100 or even 150 acres of land. If it is used, Lingzhou may not be able to be built into a granary. If there is grain and steel in Lingzhou, there will definitely be no room for Turks to be active within three thousand miles.
In addition, Chen Ying also planned to develop artificial cultivation of alfalfa to make Lingzhou a prosperous Shangzhou General Administration, which makes the Shangjiangnan region worthy of its reputation.
When writing and painting in the study, Chen Ying was busy at the time of holding the lights. It was not until Chen Ying's stomach roared that he got up to prepare dinner. However, the moment Chen Ying got up, a cold light came.
Chen Ying was caught off guard and avoided the fatal blow in an extremely embarrassing manner. He took the horizontal knife from the screen wall and took a knife in his hand. Chen Ying carefully looked at the assassin opposite him. Chen Ying gradually frowned.
The assassin in black suit was petite, and it was estimated that it was only 1.6 meters above. His figure was hot. At least the tight suit made her figure look convex and concave.
"Who are you? Do we have a grudge?" Chen Ying asked carefully.
