Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 356: Interception and Killing

Li Ling recaptured the four northwest cities and injured less than a thousand soldiers. Li Ling followed the emperor's order and distributed all the 100,000 troops he brought to various cities to garrison. When he returned to the capital, he was ordered to take only 500 personal soldiers.

More than half a year has passed since the expedition. Li Ling settled the guards in the four cities and returned to Beijing in triumph.

King Jin was in poor health and spirit due to excessive fright. Li Ling could only place him in a carriage and accompany him. King Jin slept in the carriage every day to recuperate. However, he could no longer hear his eloquent speeches along the way.

On this day, halfway through the journey, more than a hundred masked men in black suddenly sprang out from all directions, each with extraordinary skills. These people were holding crescent scimitars and were heading straight towards Li Ling and others like black ghosts to kill them.

Li Ling's soldiers fought with the unknown group of black-clothed men until the sky darkened, and then they got rid of them.

 King Jin was so frightened that he huddled up in the car, but because he was protected by Li Ling, he was not hurt at all.

When they reached a safe area, Li Ling asked King Jin to get out of the car. King Jin got out of the car and pulled Li Ling and shouted: "Cousin, can you see? This group of people is clearly from the prince's faction, and their purpose is Take our lives."

Li Ling naturally thought of the origin of this group of people. He sighed slightly and said: "If they fail to succeed this time, they will not give up. They will come back again on the road."

When King Jin heard this, he was shocked and said: "What should we do? We don't have many people around us. If we continue to waste it like this, we will definitely die."

—

The good news of Li Ling's recovery of the four cities has already arrived in Beijing. Jing Shu, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, was not happy when she learned that Li Ling was about to return in triumph. Instead, she had been restless these past few days.

After these two years of operation, the business of Jingshu's drug store finally improved. That day, she went to the drug store to take stock of the accounts and took a carriage back home. On the way, she accidentally met the prince Zhao Bi.

 Zhao Bi openly stopped Jing Shu's carriage. He rode on the horse and greeted Jing Shu through the car window: "I really didn't expect to meet my cousin here by chance. Where has my cousin gone?"

When Jing Shu saw that it was Zhao Bi, she suppressed the annoyance in her heart and replied rudely: "I am out of the government to do some things, please make way for Your Highness."

Zhao Bi was not annoyed after hearing these cold words. He smiled sinisterly and said to Jing Shu in the car: "If we talk about it, Gu and the government are close relatives. Why should my cousin be so cautious? Gu can't do it." There are a few things I want to say to my cousin in person, so why don’t I ask her to open the car window?"

As the prince, Zhao Bigui not only stopped the minister's family members' carriages and horses in the street, but also made such an excessive request. Jing Shu was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth and said coldly: "You don't want to see my wife, it's not polite! I hope your highness will show more respect."

After Zhao Bi heard this, he laughed and said to the carriage: "'What a good man who doesn't see his wife.' Cousin, if my cousin can't come back this time, then you are not your wife. At that time, Gukan What excuse do you, a beautiful woman, have for not seeing you alone?"

When Jingshu heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

 What does Zhao Bi mean? What happened to Li Ling?

"Go back home!" Jing Shu ignored the openly provocative Zhao Bi and ordered the coachman.

The carriages and horses were walking in a hurry, but Jing Shu felt very uneasy in her heart. Jingshu had received the letter of Li Ling's triumphant return a few days ago, and knew that Li Ling should be on his way back at this moment.

The princeling hates King Jin to the core, will he try to interfere with King Li Ling's return to the capital?

Although Zhao Bi is an arrogant person, what he said just now is certainly not random.

When she returned to the palace, Jing Shu called Ling Xiao and asked him to send someone to the palace to find out the news.

Ziyun has been following Jingshu, and she heard what Zhao Bi said just now. After Lingxiao left, Ziyun asked Jingshu tentatively: "Do you want someone to send a message to the eldest princess? Please ask her return."

The eldest princess and the Duke of Zhen went to the south for a trip and were not in the capital. If the eldest princess is here, it will naturally be convenient, but now it is beyond our reach.

Jingshu shook her head and replied, "Let's wait until Ling Xiao inquires about the news."

If Li Ling and King Jin really had an accident on the way, the court would be the quickest to know. At the moment, Jing Shu only hoped that what Zhao Bi said was just nonsense.

A person as brave and resourceful as Li Ling will definitely be able to turn danger into safety.

Jingshu has never been so miserable. She can't imagine what she will do if Li Ling really never comes back.

Thinking of the worst outcome, Jingshu's heart felt like a knife, and tears fell one after another.

Ziyun was even more inattentive than Jingshu. When she saw Jingshu crying, she couldn't help but get angry and said comfortingly: "Madam, please don't be anxious. How can someone like my uncle be framed so easily? He will definitely come back safely." of."

Li Ling promised her that he would come back to her with every hair on his head when he went to war. Over the years, he has never broken his promise to her.

 The master and servant were worried outside, and Amu came in with Brother Xuan and Sister Bao who had just woken up from their nap.

Seeing that her mother was there, Sister Bao threw herself into Jingshu's arms as usual. She looked up at her mother with a smile and said, "Mother, I just dreamed that my father was back."

After hearing what her daughter said, Jingshu forced out a smile, reached out and touched Sister Bao's head, and comforted her: "Daddy is coming back soon."

Seeing Jingshu's strange look, Amu asked with concern: "What's going on? But where do you feel uncomfortable? Or are you encountering some difficulty?"

This matter was just based on Zhao Bi's words, and she still didn't know what happened. Jingshu didn't want the whole family to get angry like her, so she coaxed Eminem: "It's nothing serious. It's just that there are some problems with the drug store's business."

As soon as Amu heard that it was a business matter, he felt relieved and blurted out, "Did the drug store pay you back again?"

Since Jingshu opened this pharmacy, she has often taken care of the poor. Therefore, not only has she not made much money over the years, but she has also lost a lot of money. Eminem didn't doubt Jingshu's excuse. She really thought that Jingshu Shu was worried about the business at the drug store. She comforted Jing Shu and said, "If you don't make any money, then you don't make any money. You can have this kindness to help the poor, and it is also a good deed. God is watching, and you will definitely get it." Well rewarded.”

Amu’s unintentional words gave Jingshu, who was worried at the moment, a little comfort.

 She has always been kind-hearted, and God would never let her endure such cruel things.

Ling Xiao finally came back after going out to find out the news, but he brought back some very bad news.

 This afternoon, Concubine Meng, the favorite concubine of Emperor Ming, suddenly fainted. Concubine Jin did not come out after entering the palace to visit her mother-in-law.

Although there is no news that something unexpected happened to Li Ling and King Jin, it must be something serious for King Jin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be like this.
