Chapter 62: Assassination

(It's time to get off the new book list tomorrow, so I beg for a recommendation ticket!) )

The night was deep, silent as water, and the chill hit people.

Jiulizhuang Dengzhou Unity Battalion, the sound of fighting, the cold moonlight poured to the ground like mercury. In the camp, white tents are dotted, like white sand beaches in the moonlight. Between the tents, a frost mist like a white veil was blown by the wind, shrouding the camp in a hazy way. After a hard day of training, the soldiers had already fallen asleep after feeding the horses and donkeys, and the snoring sound sounded in the various camps. The solidarity who was in charge of the night was also listlessly dozing around the fire, and the camp was frighteningly silent.

In the camp tent on the left side of the southwest corner, Li Jing tossed and turned, and he didn't feel sleepy until midnight. After counting tens of thousands of sheep and still not being able to gather the slightest sleep, Li Jing simply sat up and sat cross-legged in the dark carefully sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his head.

It's been half a month since I arrived in Penglai, and a lot has happened during this time. was accepted as protégés by Assassin Shi and Sima, and it can be said that now Cui Yunqing and Yu Xuan are Li Jing's biggest backers. Moreover, Don't drive Zhao Wang Li Xiao and Cui Yunqing and Yu Xuan are also allies, and they are also a backer for Li Jing. However, after becoming the person who assassinated them, Li Jing now inevitably stands on the opposite side of Feng Yanqing.

Before, Li Jing was unwilling to stir himself into the wrestling battle between Cui Feng's two powerful forces. Because he has always felt that when immortals fight, mortals suffer. He is just a small low-level officer of the Unity Army, and he is likely to become cannon fodder. For Feng's uncles and nephews, Li Jing has always been cautious and worked hard to maintain a relationship with them. It's just that, now it seems, it backfired. Li Jing thought so, but Feng Liang didn't think like that. No matter how reluctantly he retreated, he had already been labeled Cui Yunqing. Previously, he barely maintained a superficial relationship because of the transfer of military merits, but now because of the failure of military merits, Feng Liang has hated himself.

After today's fight with Feng Liang, it is conceivable that Li Jing and the Feng family will really become enemies in the future. defeated Feng Liang twice in public, and injured him, and also made Feng Liang lose 20,000 silks, three horse lances, and a pawn, as well as a complete set of heavy armor and a high-grade war horse, which was Chiguo's face to the Feng family.

But when I thought of it, I not only got four sharp weapons and a complete set of heavy armor because of this, but also won over the Lin Wei brothers and Wang Chong, and a few of them became brothers with me. Thinking about it again, Li Hui'er really distributed 10,000 horses of silk to him before.

Li Jing couldn't help but feel excited, high pay always has high returns. Although he completely offended the Feng family because of this, this windfall harvest of tens of thousands of yuan still made Li Jing sigh.

10,000 pieces of silk, with this large amount of money, for Li Jing, he doesn't have to worry about money anymore when he does many things in the future.

There is still half a month to go to the end of the Dengzhou training camp, and then he and the Wendeng camp will have to return to the Wendeng camp to hoard, train, and assist in defense. Now Li Jing is the head of a general, with a hundred brothers under his command. This is already a lot of strength, and with this 10,000 pieces of silk, Li Jing believes that there is still a great opportunity for it. Bandits are everywhere, but Li Jing knows that it is Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao who really become the climate, but it will take more than half a year for them to really get into trouble, and during this time, Li Jing still has time to increase his strength.

The pool of water in Penglai City is so deep that Li Jing feels as if he is dancing on a tightrope every day. Here, he is just a small general, limited at every turn. He was looking forward to leaving Penglai as soon as possible and returning to Wendeng County. Wen Deng is far away from Penglai, and he is also away from big names like Cui Yunqing and Feng Yanqing, and he can better develop himself.

It's just that there is still half a month to go before Hui Wendeng, with the current situation, can the Feng family easily let go of themselves?

Although Feng Liang looked relaxed and casual when he took out 20,000 pieces of silk, he didn't seem to care. But although Li Jing doesn't know how much property the Feng family has as the second largest family in Shandong, he also knows that 20,000 horses of silk is by no means a small number. The Feng family lost such a large amount of money at once because of him, and they must have hated Li Jing to the core.

Especially the Feng family, who actually took out a thousand taels of silver to buy the Lin Wei brothers at once, made Li Jing feel a strong sense of crisis. The biting dog doesn't bark, and the calmer the Feng family becomes, the heavier Li Jing's sense of crisis becomes. Under the calm on the surface of the Feng family, there must be a vicious counterattack plan, Li Jing has no evidence, but the intuition in his heart tells him that it is certain.

He couldn't sit still, and when he first came to this world, he was almost killed by a small treasurer. Now facing a behemoth like the Feng family, even if there are backers like Cui, Yu, and Li on his head, Li Jing still doesn't dare to be careless. He carefully recalled the previous plan with the three righteous brothers in Lin Wei's courtyard, secretly built a crossbow machine, strengthened his guard at ordinary times, and paid attention to the movements of the Feng family at any time, just in case.

Pinching his chin slightly, Li Jing's heart was irritable.

The countermeasures discussed with Lin Wei and them were still too simple and passive, and there were thousands of ways for the Feng family to deal with them. This feeling of being pinched by fate made Li Jing feel extremely uncomfortable, and he remembered the crossbow arrow that was sealed during the fight. Feng Liang dared to hurt him in front of everyone without any scruples in the martial arts arena, which already showed that Feng Liang had murderous intentions towards himself. He dodged that time, but the next time it comes, will he be able to dodge?

Why don't you strike first and assassinate Feng Liang's uncle and nephew directly? This thought suddenly rose in Li Jing's heart, but then he shook his head again. Li Jing does not care about the identity and status of the other party, he really threatens himself, he will definitely block and kill God, and Buddha will block and destroy Buddha. It's just that the last time I went to Feng's house, the two teams of elite family members at the door of Feng's house were very impressed by Li Jing. Those family members should have crawled in the pile of dead people on the battlefield, and there were many of them. The Feng family is heavily guarded, and it is too difficult to assassinate the Feng family's uncle and nephew.

If you want to assassinate the uncle and nephew of the Feng family, you must not pick on the Feng family. The best way is to find out some of the travel habits of Feng's uncle and nephew, and assassinate them halfway. In turn, Li Jing was calculating in his heart who could use it now. If you assassinate Feng Liang's uncle and nephew, this is a matter of carrying your head, and it is not possible to use it if you are not the most trusted.

Counting, there are eight of them who came out of Wang Li Village, and Li Jing has been deliberately courting them to treat them well, giving money and helping officials, and these few are basically obedient and loyal to themselves now. If assassinated, these eight can basically be used. In addition, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Wang Chong had just married him, and Li Jing felt that these three were also some high-tech and bold people, and they were ninety percent sure that they would be willing to work together.

In addition, Li Jing didn't dare to trust all the other brothers in Zuo Yidu, but Li Jing and Lin Wei and the dozen of them, each of them must have one or two brothers who have absolutely believed in the camp, and if these people are added up, they can almost make up twenty or thirty people. Originally, I wanted to count Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang, although these two are women, but there are a few strong entourages around them. But after thinking about it carefully, Li Jing still dispelled this idea.

When he was with the two of them, Li Jing could always feel his ease, but on the other side of his heart, he had been suppressing this feeling. Reason told him that he should not get too close to them, they were not from the same world at all.

can be trusted, there can be twenty or thirty people who can use it, as long as they can find the travel rules of Feng Yanqing's uncle and nephew, and then use crossbows and other assassination weapons, Li Jing has seven or eighty percent certainty of success. This is a bold plan, Feng Yanqing is not only the governor of Dengzhou, and the deputy envoy of the unity battalion, but also the second largest family in Shandong. Even old foxes like Cui Yunqing and Li Wei would not have such an extreme approach, and if Li Jing did this, the consequences would be unpredictable.

But when he thought of the arrow that Feng Liang shot at him, and the eyes that Feng Liang looked at him, Li Jing couldn't sit like this.

"The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers!" Li Jing muttered softly, making up his mind.

After making up his mind, Li Jing's heart was much lighter, like letting go of a heavy burden. After planning and then acting, Li Jing has always been more restrained and intelligent in dealing with intelligent calculations, not the kind of person who is impulsive and reckless. There are too many calculators, and sometimes it always makes him too tired in his heart. This time, he plans to be impulsive and enthusiastic once.

The night was already deep, the frost was getting heavier, and the cold was pressing. There was a dead silence in the camp, and even the footsteps of the soldiers on duty patrolling the camp had not been heard for a long time. In the distance, the howl of a wild wolf was heard, desolate and long. Li Jing finally felt a trace of sleepiness and couldn't help yawning. He shook off the blanket and was about to go to bed when he heard a very slight sound of footsteps outside the tent.

Listening to the voice, it was not the footsteps of the soldiers on duty on patrol, and Li Jing was about to ask out loud. Suddenly, the man was heard approaching his tent, and there was the sound of a rattling curtain outside the tent door.

Someone was about to touch his tent in the middle of the night, and Li Jing suddenly woke up. He is the head of Zuo Yidu, and he has the grade of the seventh grade, so Li Jing has a tent and does not share it with others. It's so late in the middle of the night, and suddenly someone touches it quietly, which is not a good thing.

Li Jing immediately reached out and held the horizontal knife at his side in his hand, staring at the curtain mouth silently. The curtain was gently lifted, and by the moonlight, Li Jing saw a person sneaking in with a horizontal knife. Li Jing was about to get up, but found that after that person came in, there were actually two people behind him. The two men also walked in with horizontal knives in their hands.
