Nodding, Hong Wenquan was convinced that people like Li Wufeng, who had risen to the rank of feudal official with military merit, would naturally have grudges and grudges. Regardless of whether the remaining elements of the enemy were eliminated or the power groups whose interests were threatened, they might become the masters of the assassination. Messenger or implementer, this is not surprising.
"Tianxiong, you haven't seen your master for a long time, have you? I can't tell that you are really capable. It looks like you are doing a good job." Hong Wenquan had a smile on his face and looked at this with great satisfaction. The nephew of a member of the sect, because Song Tianxiong only studied under his junior brother's name, he did not join the Daxiangguo Temple. However, the Song family was financially wealthy and donated a lot of incense money to the Daxiangguo Temple. Song Tianxiong's qualifications are also very good, so he has made an exception and learned some special skills in the sect.
Unexpectedly, after three days, Shi Shi was surprised to find that this boy had quietly become the leader of the guards of Li Wufeng, known as the King of the Northwest. And the young man just introduced turned out to be the eldest son of Gu Yunzhong, the head of the Gu family in Bashan. It was obvious that Bashan The Gu family has already established a relationship with the Northwest King, who is famous in the empire. Thinking of this, Hong Wenquan is even more eager for Wu Feng to wake up as soon as possible. Maybe his Daxiangguo Temple can take advantage of this rare opportunity to rely on this big tree of the Northwest King today. Where is the pillar
The decision was made. Before Song Tianxiong could answer, Hong Wenquan said with a serious face: "Tianxiong, your status is different now. I am not talking about you as a master. Mr. Li is lucky to have suffered this disaster this time, but he is a master." I’m afraid there won’t be many such incidents in the future, and your security measures will need to be greatly strengthened.”
Song Tianxiong is actually thinking about this issue silently. As the situation becomes more and more dangerous, there will definitely be more and more assassinations against Wu Feng, and the methods will become more and more vicious, and the strength of the people sent will become higher and higher. , although I have a certain amount of kung fu, it is just the foundation I laid in my youth. Since I joined the army, I have focused more on military affairs. People have limited energy, so naturally their efforts in martial arts are not as good as those in real martial arts. He was dedicated to practicing martial arts, and due to his long military career, he had not had much contact with the world, so the various assassination methods made him feel a little difficult to deal with.
"Uncle, you are right. Our security measures have indeed fallen behind. It seems that they really need to be strengthened. I will report to you as soon as your injury stabilizes." Nodding, Song Tianxiong felt a little heavy. He is now in the imperial capital. In the city, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the Lord was seriously injured. Several people who had assisted Wu Feng in taking charge of the overall situation had stayed in the northwest and Northern Luzon. There was no one else but himself in the imperial capital. Although he knew that there was another person who was related to Wu Feng. The relationship between Feng and Feng was unusual, but the man's whereabouts were mysterious, and Wu Feng seemed to be unwilling to let others know more about him, so as the captain of the Guards, he only had a rough idea.
In fact, he should bear considerable responsibility for Wu Feng's assassination. If he had insisted on his opinion at that time, Wu Feng might have compromised in the end, and leaving a more complicated environment, people with malicious intentions could attack from a long distance away. will be discovered, it will be difficult to pose such a big threat.
Seeing Song Tianxiong's solemn expression, Hong Wenquan thought that the nephew was still worried about Wu Feng's injury, so he comforted him and said: "Tianxiong, although Master Li's condition is serious, it has stabilized. As long as he is still alive, with Master Li's foundation , I believe you will recover soon. If you are worried about safety, how about I ask my disciples to help you, what do you think?"
"Thank you for your concern, uncle, but do you still have to take the martial arts examination?" Song Tianxiong asked in surprise.
"There are only twenty or thirty disciples in our sect who are qualified to participate in this martial arts examination. The others are either over the age or the opportunity is not yet ripe. The others are here to experience the scene, so it doesn't matter." Hong Wenquan said with a smile.
The age limit for contestants in the martial arts examination is between sixteen and twenty-five, which also greatly limits the number of people in the martial arts community who can participate in the competition. Many people who are successful in martial arts and are determined to serve the country often fail after their age. I have to admit that this is also the purpose of the Empire's internal affairs department to prevent too many people from the arena from flocking to the competition, and younger contestants are often less tainted with the habits of the arena, which is more conducive to their development in the Imperial Yulin Army.
"Well, Tianxiong will report to you immediately after you wake up." Song Tianxiong knew that Wu Feng did not trust people in the martial arts world very much. He believed more in his brothers in the army who followed him through life and death. Even he himself was in the army. Only outstanding performance won Wu Feng's favor, and he was promoted to this position, so he did not dare to rashly agree to his uncle's kindness.
Hong Wenquan also understood Song Tianxiong's situation very well. As the leader of the lay disciples of Daxiangguo Temple, a major sect of Buddhism, he knew the world very well, so he nodded and said nothing, but he wanted to take a chance at some point when he came down. Let's have a good chat with this nephew, hoping to have the opportunity to expand the influence of the Xiangguo Temple faction in the Northwest County and Northern Luzon areas under Wu Feng's control.
February 14, 695 Continental Calendar, the day Wu Feng was assassinated, was destined to be an uneasy day. On this day, the Nanyang Alliance Parliament voted to immediately send troops to reinforce the Ronisian Alliance, which was suffering from foreign aggression, and it was completed on the same day. In preparation for the Alliance's standing army, the vanguard advanced towards the Ronisian Alliance's garrison that night.
Having achieved his goal, Maci Khan's Minister of State Lei Juetian immediately left the Nanyang Alliance and returned to Maci Khan that day. However, he was attacked by a large-scale assassin group on the outskirts of Baling within the alliance. More than 200 people in the entire mission were killed and 100 were killed. There were more than 80 people, and more than ten were seriously injured. Lei Juetian was seriously injured and fell unconscious. Almost no one in the entire mission was spared. Fortunately, the Baling City State Guards arrived in time, and Lei Juetian and others saved their lives.
The whole country of the Macchi Khanate was shocked after hearing the news. Macchi Khan Bixili vowed to find out the original culprit and take revenge, regardless of any national group or individual involved. The largest media in the Macchi Khanate, "National Newspaper", also said that "this despicable behavior is the most direct expression of the declaration of war against the Macchi Khanate!"
At the same time, the Sanjiang Second Army encountered the strongest resistance since the beginning of the war outside the city of Jiasi, the capital of the Kingdom of Naples. The two sides carried out more than ten offensive and defensive battles on the city wall in one day, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Due to the timely adjustment of its deployment, the Kingdom of Naples gave up the defense of its northern region and concentrated all the country's troops in the capital city of Jiasi for defensive operations, and Jiasi City was the city with the most complete defense facilities in the entire Romanian Union. , so even under a strong attack by an attacking army several times their own, the Napoli army still ensured that the city of Jiasi was not lost.
The special envoy of Maci Khan who arrived in time also vowed that the Maci Khanate and the Nanyang Alliance would never sit idly by, which made the Napoli people who had suffered heavy losses muster up enough courage and mobilize all the young people in Jixi City. The prime of life joins the battle to defend the capital.
On February 16, after two days and nights of rapid marching, the 10,000-horse vanguard force of the Nanyang Alliance finally arrived at the gates of Jiaxi City at the most critical moment. The severely damaged Sanjiang Second Army saw that it had lost its final opportunity to capture Jiaxi City. After a favorable opportunity, they began to retreat northward, and the almost exhausted Napoli army was unable to counterattack at all. It only cooperated with the reinforcements of the Nanyang Alliance to strengthen the defense of Jiaxi City. On February 18, the Sanjiang Second Army retreated to Geia, an important town in the northern part of the Kingdom of Naples, and began to build a fortress at a dangerous location in front of Geia. The steady flow of civilians from Sanjiang County also confirmed that the Lin family indeed intended to move the army to Geia. Plans to take possession of the northern part of the Kingdom of Naples.
The assassination of Li Wufeng caused an uproar in the imperial capital. Originally, people from the internal affairs department and the police station did not want to expand the matter. However, since both parties knew the inside story and were worried that the other would report the matter without telling one of them, the two parties took charge of the matter. All of them chose to report the decision to their superiors immediately.
After receiving the news, His Majesty the Emperor was furious. Not only did he severely reprimand the Minister of Interior, Lu Wenfu, who rarely spoke harshly, but he also ordered the two Vice Ministers of the Interior, Tu Jing and He Jingzhi, to immediately launch an investigation to ensure that the murderer was caught and brought to justice. Major media outlets in the imperial capital also commented one after another, criticizing the internal affairs department for its lagging intelligence and slow response, which put considerable pressure on the internal affairs department. As for how many people secretly regretted that the assassination was not fully successful, no one can know.
However, the pursuit of the murderer did not affect the progress of the martial arts examination. Dozens of competitions every day attracted the favor of many people in the world and the people of the imperial capital.
Wu Feng actually woke up that night. Under the care of Qin and Gu, Charlotte and Angel, Wu Feng felt like he was surrounded by all kinds of beauties, but his weak body prevented him from doing so. Any ideas. After listening to Song Tianxiong's report, Wu Feng, in addition to agreeing to strengthen the security of his own palace guard, did not agree to the suggestion of hiring people from the Daxiangguo Temple, the ** sect, the Xueshan sect and other Jianghu sects to strengthen protection. Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Police Headquarters have strengthened the protection of Wu Feng's residence. The Imperial Police Department has also specially deployed some personnel from the special operations team to monitor the area around Wu Feng's residence day and night to prevent similar situations from happening again in Wu Feng's residence. In Feng Mansion.
The emperor also sent an imperial doctor to diagnose Wu Feng, and all the ministers in the imperial court came to see Wu Feng who was in bed and recuperating, leaving Wu Feng overwhelmed.
"Tianxiong is here, sit down." Wu Feng, who was leaning on the bed, looked much better than he did two days ago. Even if he could get out of bed and walk, there would be no problem. However, with the persistence of the women, Wu Feng Feng also had to succumb to the coercion of the women and had to stay in the bed to rest obediently. Due to his poor health, Qin Shuangying and An Qier'er refused to have any affectionate actions with him, which made Wu Feng It was even more painful.
"Sir, I have something to report to you." Song Tianxiong's face was solemn, obviously he wanted to report something important to Wu Feng.
"Oh?" Seeing that Song Tianxiong looked very worried, Wu Feng also raised his body, and Charlotte who was waiting on the side also left knowingly, leaving only two people in the room.
"What's the matter?" Wu Feng asked calmly when he saw Charlotte had left.
"Sir, I feel that I am not qualified for the position of captain of your Guards, and I request you to replace me." Song Tianxiong's tone was very calm, and nothing unusual could be heard.
