Uncle, I didn't mean to tease you

There were no outsiders staying in Zhuangzi on weekdays, so there were no guards in rotation. Liu Jing only confessed to arranging night watchmen in the courtyard where the sixth prince stayed, but did not arrange his own residence.

First of all, he has martial arts skills, and ordinary thieves are not taken seriously. Second, everyone in the village is trustworthy, and outsiders can't get in at all.

But when Liu An disappeared in the middle of the night, he was still startled.

Before he could think about it, there was suddenly the sound of a gong beating outside, followed by someone yelling to get out of the water.A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Jing's heart when he heard this, he just felt that something was wrong, but he hurried out of the room anyway.

There was a red fire coming from a courtyard in the darkness. Fortunately, it was not the courtyard where the Sixth Prince stayed. Liu Jing was relieved a little, and then subconsciously ran towards the burning place.

At this time, most of the people in Zhuangzi woke up, and they all rushed to put out the fire with buckets in their hands.

Liu An woke up all night, and when he came out of the hut, he had already heard the noise, and his first reaction was to wake Liu Jing up, but he went to Liu Jing's room and found that the door was open and there was no one inside.

At this time, everyone in the village was running towards the burning courtyard, and Liu An followed the crowd, but he happened to catch a glimpse of a black shadow rushing in the opposite direction. Liu An was sure that he was not mistaken.

At such a time, he would run against the flow of people and avoid the sight of everyone, so there was no doubt that he was a problematic person.

He glanced at the flames in the distance, his thoughts changed sharply, and he immediately grasped the key point of the matter, which was a slap in the face.

Who lives in the opposite direction?Apart from Liu Jing, the only people staying overnight in Zhuangzi are the Sixth Prince. Could it be that the person who came here was for the Sixth Prince?

When this idea appeared in Liu An's mind, he was extremely anxious, but at this time Liu Jing was not by his side, and others were so soft-spoken that they couldn't speak at all.

He took a deep breath, and suddenly stood there and shouted: "There are assassins! There are assassins, run over there!"

People passing by stopped when they heard Liu An's shout, and Liu An pointed to the direction where the shadow left and said: "There is an assassin, go there!"

The people around didn't chase after him immediately, but looked at Liu An suspiciously. Liu An was a little embarrassed immediately, but he didn't expect that the people in the village were very vigilant, and they were not easily persuaded by him.

"Who are you?" a man asked.

"I am..." At this moment Liu An suddenly saw a familiar face, it was Li Zhong who had met several times during the day.Without hesitation, Liu An stepped forward to hold Li Zhong and said, "Uncle Li, there are assassins!"

When everyone saw that Liu An and Li Zhong knew each other, they knew that they were not outsiders, so they lowered their guard immediately.Li Zhong was startled when he saw Liu An, and asked, "Did you see it?"

"Not sure, but..." Liu An asked, pointing in one direction, "Does the sixth prince live there?"

Li Zhong was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly realized something, waved his hand and said to the people around him: "All follow me."

The fire in the burning courtyard was not small. Fortunately, there were many people in the village, so it was quickly contained and the fire was not allowed to spread.

Liu Jing stood outside the courtyard, the lingering strangeness in his heart gradually deepened, and then he finally came back to his senses, realizing that things seemed not as simple as they appeared in front of them.

It stands to reason that everyone in Zhuangzi is extremely vigilant, and there should be corresponding fire prevention measures in winter, so this kind of thing shouldn't happen.

However, it happened, and it happened in the middle of the night.Judging by the intensity of the fire, it seemed to be bigger than the one in the Shuai's mansion last time, which meant that it was not an accidental fire, but someone set it on fire.

Sure enough, after a while, someone came to report to Liu Jing, saying that such a big fire was caused by kerosene to support the combustion, but it was still impossible to determine who set the fire.

"Is there someone guarding the Sixth Prince?" Liu Jing asked.

"Young commander, don't worry, the guards are brought out by Li Zhong himself, and they won't leave their posts without authorization if something serious happens." The man replied.

Liu Jing felt a little relieved when he heard the words, turned around and walked towards the courtyard where the sixth prince stayed.

After a big fire, the air in Zhuangzi was filled with a burnt smell, which made Liu Jing's already restless mood even more restless, always feeling that something bad would happen.

The sixth prince suddenly came to stay overnight at the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city during the Chinese New Year. If something went wrong in the middle of the night, Liu Jing might not be able to tell even if he had a hundred mouths.

Some people in the court have been eyeing the Liu family all the time, and they are trying their best to find something. If there is something wrong with Li Mian, it's not just a matter of evidence, it's a criminal evidence.

And based on the emperor's love for his younger brother, even if no one else did it, the emperor alone would be sad.

As soon as Liu Jing brought a few people into the yard, Li Zhong trotted over from a distance.Liu Jing glanced at the courtyard. There were bloodstains on the ground, but there was no corpse. It seemed that something had happened, but he didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

"Is the sixth prince still alive?" Liu Jing asked directly.

"Young commander, don't worry, the sixth prince was just frightened and not injured." Li Zhong said.

Liu Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and only then did he have time to glance at the guards in the yard, and then at Li Zhong, seeing blood on his arm, he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's.

"What's going on?" Liu Jing asked.

"The assassins are here for the sixth prince. Fortunately, the young marshal was prepared and asked me to arrange guards, so this trickery didn't have much effect." Li Zhongdao.

The fire attracted other people, but the guards were dedicated to their duties, so the assassination did not go as smoothly as expected.

"Three of the six entourages of the prince died and one was injured. Six of our guards died and eight were injured." Li Zhongdao: "The other party moved quickly and caused great damage. Fortunately, they planned to Kidnapping the Sixth Prince, if you plan to kill him, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him."

That being said, the person who came was only targeting the Sixth Prince, not the Liu family, otherwise the Liu family would definitely be involved if they were killed directly.

It must be that the sixth prince is not easy to do anything in the capital, and today he just came to the outskirts of the city, so he wanted to kidnap him in one go, but he didn't expect to enter the Liu family's village, but he encountered a tough stubble. up.

"Where's the assassin?" Liu Jing asked.

"Twelve people, none left alive." Li Zhong said.

Liu Jing was not too surprised when he heard that, even if this kind of desperado was caught alive, it might not be useful.

"Brothers who died in battle will be dealt with according to the compensation standard of the Northern Army, and don't miss what should be given." Liu Jing said: "The wounded should be treated by doctors, right?"

"Please." Li Zhong said: "That... the young master of the Yang family..."

"What happened to Liu An?" Liu Jing asked.

Li Zhong took a deep breath and said, "I'm injured, life or death is uncertain."

Liu Jing almost didn't bring it up in one breath, but felt a buzzing in his head, and suddenly the fear in the dream mixed with anxiety and uneasiness suddenly struck.
