You rascal, stop right there!

Chapter 189: Fool, what have you done?

This person left without saying goodbye again -

The only progress I made was that I finally remembered to leave him a letter.

Ling Shumo looked at the letter carefully, his body seemed to be frozen, and he pulled at his sleeves.

He showed a hint of worry, and chanted: "Share what you have, use what you have, and enjoy what you have achieved."

The jailer had no idea what the man was talking about. Although the man in front of him was wearing tattered prisoner uniform, his elegance could make the chill of the autumn colors around him dim.

"When did he give it to you?"

It was obvious that he was suppressing some emotions, as the words of the letter slowly seeped out from between his fingers.

"I left it here ten days ago..." the jailer said in a low voice with a trembling voice.

Ling Shumo stared intently at the letter in his hand and let out a long sigh.

Ten days ago————

He closed his eyes tightly. No wonder he said those words during the prison visit. He had thought of them from the beginning.

"Give it your all..." Ling Shumo suddenly fell silent with a sigh.

Although the letter did not explain anything clearly, at that moment his eyes were filled with mist and he closed them deeply.

My heart suddenly felt like something was grabbing it, and it hurt a little.

Fool --

What did you do again...

……

Prime Minister's House.

At dawn, Prime Minister Li Simeng returned to his mansion.

Before I could stand still, I heard someone calling out from inside the bedroom.

"What? Ling Shumo is not dead?!" The man lying on the bed was out of breath, his face distorted.

"He was clearly guilty of usurping power. Even the Minister of Revenue, Cai Lun, was sentenced to exile. Why was he only demoted?!"

Li Simeng sighed and stared at his son for a long time.

Ever since Li Li returned home injured and managed to save his life, he only wanted Ling Shumo to pay with his life.

"Father is so powerful, can't he even kill a Minister of Rites?"

Li Simeng looked at the pale face, half of which was twisted and had burn marks, and the hysteria made people not want to get close to him.

According to common sense, Ling Shumo will definitely be sentenced.

However, it happened that he had saved Princess Qinyang's life in the past, and now he was protected by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and in name only he was her disciple.

It is easy to kill someone, but it is difficult to do so with a legitimate reason.

"Idiot! My father has just been reinstated as Prime Minister, and I cannot be an enemy of the Empress Dowager Cixi." Li Simeng almost pointed at the person opposite him by the nose.

Li Li rarely saw this man angry at him, and was slightly frightened. He stammered, "Then let him go to Dingzhou to do military affairs... No matter what, let him die there!"

Li Simeng stretched out his calloused hands and gently rubbed Li Li's messy hair, saying calmly:

"This Dingzhou belongs to the border of Daying. It is right next to the three cities of Zhengzhou, Yanzhou, and Huzhou, and is closest to Zhengzhou City."

Daying has ceded Zhengzhou, Yanzhou and Huzhou, so Dingzhou is the current border.

It can be said that after Xuanli Army took these three cities, the first city they would invade would probably be Dingzhou.

This is such a hot potato!

The so-called demotion to save his life actually meant that he was thrown into a city that was most likely to be the scene of a future conflict. This was the only compromise he could make as prime minister.

Li Li probably understood what was said, so he lay down a little and said no more.

At the same time, Li Simeng withdrew his comforting hand, wiped it slightly on his sleeve behind his back, and held it with disgust.

In an instant, his eyes caught sight of the bandage in his hand and he nodded.

"Youzhi, is the doctor who treated you and changed your medicine today the same doctor Lin from the palace?"

Li Li was stunned and immediately replied: "Yes!"

"What about this maid?" Li Simeng grabbed a pair of jade-like hands with his cold hands.

Among the maids serving in the room, a petite and slightly thin person was pulled out.

Cough cough--

A cold wind blew, and the soft sword at the woman's waist was pulled out. The candlelight was extinguished in an instant, and it stabbed forward in the blink of an eye.

Someone actually sneaked into the Prime Minister's residence to assassinate him. This is a very serious matter.

The killer assassin looked expressionless, but each of his sword strikes was deadly and terrifying.

Li Simeng was not a military officer, and he suddenly grabbed a body in a flash.

Without hesitation, he blocked the body in front of him!

"There's an assassin!!!!" The other maids around screamed and scattered, disrupting the surroundings.

Li Li's face was pale. He bit his lip and let out a muffled groan. There was another black sword wound on his shoulder.

His face was filled with astonishment, and he had never expected that his father would use him to block the sword.

Although the sword was sharp, it failed to hurt Li Simeng and only stabbed into his body.

The blood spread and the horror was overwhelming.

At this time, countless servants and soldiers came upon hearing the news and surrounded the room.

The assassin stood in the middle of the room, his eyes sharp, and threw several poisoned darts at Li Simeng.

Li Simeng had no time to dodge and was barely hit. He was so shocked that he fell to his knees. He shouted: "Catch him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man was surrounded by people from all directions.

"Why bother——"

The man swung the sword lightly, and it moved like plucking the strings of a guitar.

These soldiers were obviously well-trained. They struck him with their swords up, down, left and right, making loud clanging sounds. However, they were no match for the man's flying poison darts.

I saw this girl, dressed in a maid's dress, swaying and dodging constantly, trying her best to fight her way out of the crowd.

At this moment, Li Simeng's eyes turned slightly cold. He pulled out the poison dart from his shoulder and threw it directly at the back of the fleeing man.

Then, the man whimpered and ran out of the mansion.

The entire Li Mansion was filled with people.

Li Simeng sat on the ground, covering his injured arm, and quietly looked at all the palace soldiers who fell to the ground.

"You want to kill me again."

He looked calm, and only felt a hint of coldness in the black blood from the poison dart that scratched his arm.

That day,

Prime Minister Li Simeng was attacked again.

Because everyone was hit by the poisoned darts, the poison took effect very quickly and almost no one survived.

However, he immediately cut off his left arm that was hit by the dart and saved his life.

His son was in a coma due to a sword wound...
