The eight-rank bandit who was fighting with Tang Ning had a look of despair, not to mention that Tang Ning had entered the realm of the eight-rank realm, not to mention the surrounding soldiers, but these seven long knives killed him like a bag.

When the seven long knives arrived, Tang Ningqian retreated, and the only remaining eight-rank bandit was already frightened, and he was beheaded after only receiving the fourth knife.

The only six or seven remaining fifth-grade masters saw that the general trend was gone, so they scattered in all directions. How can this be endured, Tang Ning chased after him with a knife.

Seven long knives also chased at the same time, and after a few ups and downs, all the attacking bandits were ambushed. Tang Ning was covered in blood, put away his knife and saluted solemnly: "Thank you to a few strong men for drawing their swords and helping, and commanding Tang Ning in the camp of Xia Nanshan, I am grateful!" ”

At this time, Tang Ning had time to look at these seven strong men, only to see that they were all wearing hair canopies, and they couldn't see their full faces, but Tang Ning felt that they seemed to have some good faces, as if they had seen them somewhere.

Lin Lan also put away his knife and stood up, and let out a long breath. Rong Xuan and Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage, their faces pale and a little frightened.

Xiaoxiao's voice was a little hoarse and said, "The Seven Star Array, how many adults are secret guards?" ”

Rong Xuan and Lin Lan were a little surprised when they heard this, they turned out to be secret guards? Today is really fateful, fortunately there are secret guards passing by, otherwise today would be really dangerous.

The leader was silent for a moment, and said in a dumb voice: "Yes, I didn't expect that there would be gangsters in Gyeonggi, you better enter the city quickly, I'll wait and go to inspect it." ”

The seven turned and mounted their horses and disappeared into the woods, as if they did not want to have much contact with them.

Although all the bandits were killed, Tangning was not happy, because his own soldiers suffered heavy losses.

"What about the casualties?" Tang Ning asked with some sadness.

"My lord, forty-eight brothers were killed on the spot!"

Nearly half of the loss, Tang Ning's heart tightened, these are all heroic people, in the face of such a disadvantage, no one is timid to retreat, they all go forward and succeed, forgetting death.

"Clean up the battlefield and prepare to enter the city." Tang Ning held the waist knife tightly, and was crazy in his heart, these forty-eight lives must not be counted like this, those who should repay their kindness must be avenged.

Tang Ning walked to the carriage and asked, "Xiaoxiao, who are those strong men?" How have I never heard of the Secret Guard. ”

Xiaoxiao explained: "The secret guard is very mysterious, they are the emperor's personal guards, and there are not many of them. In addition to being responsible for the emperor's safety, he will also be responsible for the safety of the royal people, and my mother has secret guards around her, like Her Royal Highness and His Royal Highness. ”

"This time we are also lucky, we actually met the secret guard who returned to Beijing, I will go back and ask Uncle Da, they should know each other."

Tang Ning nodded when he heard this, no matter whether the emperor would reward these seven secret guards or not, he would have to thank the others, after all, if they didn't make a move, their lives would all have to be explained here.

The carriage rushed towards the capital, and instead of a cheerful atmosphere, it exuded a strong smell of blood. Tang Ning was frowning and pondering all the way, according to the eight-rank strong man shouting, these people were coming for him Tang Ning.

Three eight-rank masters blatantly assassinated him outside the capital, such a big deal must be a great enmity of life and death, the question is who will have such a great ability? Who has such a vendetta against him?

Ren Tang Ning couldn't figure it out even if he broke his head, the only people he had offended recently were the eldest prince and the second prince, the problem was that unless the eldest prince or the second prince was crazy, it was impossible to assassinate him just because he refused to surrender.

The carriage that exuded the smell of blood finally came to the capital, and for a time the capital was stunned, and the officials and people of the entire capital were extremely shocked.

In the dignified Gyeonggi Strongland, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there were bandits who openly attacked the military generals of the DPRK and China, and among them there were three daughters with extraordinary identities.

After the emperor was shocked, Long Yan was furious and summoned Tang Ning to the palace to appease, and Jing Zhaoyin and Jinyi Wei commanded the envoy to enter the palace as soon as possible to ask for guilt.

Tang Ning came to the Qianqing Palace in a bloody suit, and the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace was extremely depressing. Tang Ning knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "The minister sees the emperor!" ”

When the emperor saw Tang Ning's bloody clothes, his face became even more angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you injured? ”

Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "The minister was stabbed a few times, but it was not a big problem, most of the blood on his body was the minister's personal soldiers, and the minister's forty-eight personal soldiers died on the spot, if it weren't for the secret guards who happened to pass by to help, the minister would have to die on the spot." ”

The emperor is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and when he saw that Tang Ning was fine, he instructed the eunuchs around him to pass on the imperial doctor, and said with relief: "It's okay for you to be fine, as for the soldiers who died in battle, they are all warriors, and they died well, and I will issue a decree to compensate them." ”

Tang Ning kowtowed and said, "Please find out the truth and give them an explanation." ”

The emperor said in a deep voice: "If you dare to assassinate an important minister of the imperial court, I will definitely find out the truth and give you an explanation, no matter who instigated it, I will never spare it!" ”

As he was talking, the commander of the Jinyi Guard and Jing Zhaoyin came together, and as soon as they entered the Qianqing Palace, they immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

The emperor asked in a deep voice, "Haven't you received a little news of such a big case in Gyeonggi Chongdi beforehand?" Pang Yu, what is the use of Jinyiwei?! Could it be that when the thieves are killed in the palace, I don't know anything? ”

While speaking, the emperor was furious and directly picked up the inkstone beside him and smashed it, and the Jinyi guard commanded the envoy to hide, and he didn't dare to dodge and was smashed on the forehead by the inkstone.

Ignoring the blood left on his forehead, Jin Yiwei commanded the envoy to plead guilty, and Jing Zhaoyin kept pleading.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Three days, I give you three days, you can't solve the case, I only ask!" ”

Tang Ning, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Jing Zhaoyin went out of the Qianqing Palace together, and Jing Zhaoyin Xu Tingyi said angrily: "I don't know who is bold enough to dare to commit a crime at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Pang Yu wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and said in a deep voice: "It's not difficult to check, but thanks to General Tang, the thief was left behind, saving a lot of trouble." ”

Tang Ning smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a secret guard passing by, it would really be hanging." ”

Jing Zhaoyin said: "General Tang has a great fortune, how can the eight-rank master be an unknown person, it is not difficult to find out." ”

Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the two adults to investigate with all their might, my forty-eight brothers died on the spot, I must give them an explanation." ”

Xu Tingyi and Pang Yu said solemnly: "General Tang rest assured, who would dare not be unconcerned about such a big case?" I'll definitely find out! ”

Tang Ning nodded when he heard this, not to mention that Emperor Long Yan was furious, this matter also involved Xiaoxiao, Lin Lan, and Rong Xuan, the three of them are not simple people, whether it is Jing Zhaoyin or the commander of Jinyiwei, they will not be careless.

The three of them walked quickly to the outside of the palace, and went to explore the bodies of the thieves who had been killed, especially the three eight-rank assassins, who were by no means nameless.
