Chapter 49 The Second Killer

Chapter 49 The Second Killer (Thanks to Rose Cherry Meat, Ming Gaofeng and other book friends for their monthly tickets!)

As the seventh-rank commander of the Xuanwu Army, Ye Mingsheng was no stranger to the commander-in-chief Xu Zhaojie.

Although Xu Zhaojie looks gentle and like a Confucian general.

But in fact, this person has an extremely narrow mind and will not tolerate his subordinates going against his opinions in the slightest. If there is any mistake, he will either beat or scold them without any mercy at all!

This time, Xu Zhaojie ignored Shangguan Hongyuan's hint and refused to take over the palace. It can be said that he has already sat on the side of the aristocratic families headed by the former Prime Minister Lin Shize.

What Ye Mingsheng and Wang Kangxin did as subordinates was undoubtedly a naked betrayal to Xu Zhaojie, making all his efforts come to naught. If Xu Zhaojie could swallow this, he would not be Xu Zhaojie.

Ye Mingsheng had already made preparations. Once this matter was settled, he would use his merits to use his connections to arrange for himself to leave the Xuanwu Army and serve in the Hujie Army, leaving Xu Zhaojie's command and avoiding his revenge.

However, what Ye Mingsheng never expected was that he still underestimated Xu Zhaojie's revengeful heart. Now that the matter is not over yet, Xu Zhaojie can't wait to send assassins to kill him...
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but sigh slightly. Although he had gained a lot of military merits from the surprise attack on the palace, he also really offended his immediate superior, the commander-in-chief.

You have to be careful in the future, both openly and secretly. Even if the assassination attempt fails this time, Xu Zhaojie will never let it go given his vengeful character. Who knows when his next killing move will come!

“You look tired…”

Looking at Ye Mingsheng with some worry, Pei Zhixiu said with pity:
“When you live in the world, you’re bound to get hurt…” Ye Mingsheng shook his head with a wry smile.

As a military officer of the Great Zhou Imperial Guards, he looks majestic and glorious, but he knows the hardships he suffers in reality!

In recent years, the Great Zhou has been plagued by internal and external troubles. Not only have foreign races frequently invaded the border, but there have also been frequent wars within the country. If it were not for the Prime Minister Shangguan Hongyuan's iron-fisted rule and the command of the imperial guards to suppress both internal and external forces, the glorious Great Zhou would have collapsed long ago.

The death rate of the imperial guards during the years of war was also very high. They were like living on the edge of a knife, with their heads hanging on their belts. They never knew where their heads might go at any time.

After expressing his feelings, Ye Mingsheng's condition gradually returned to normal. He coaxed Pei Zhixiu for a while, and then personally sent her back to her tent.

When walking back, looking at his tent, Ye Mingsheng suddenly had an idea and recalled a question.

When he was on guard in the tent, he already felt someone approaching, but then a fight broke out outside the tent. He initially thought it was Ye Tie who took action, but it turned out not to be the case.

In addition, according to Ye Tie's report, when he discovered it, two men in black appeared outside the tent and were fighting. One of them can now be confirmed to be Xu Zhaojie's man. So who could the other man in black who escaped be? What was his purpose?

Standing outside the tent, the cold wind was blowing, Ye Mingsheng stood there, thinking hard about the answer to the question. He came late at night, still wearing a nightgown, and ran away immediately after being discovered by Ye Tie and others. In addition, Yang Biao's death might have been caused by him.

Overall, the man in black who ran away most likely had bad intentions and most likely wanted to take his life!
So it seems that the truth should be this: these two killers who both wanted to kill him sneaked into his tent and found each other. The two people with the same purpose may have mistaken each other for their own people and started fighting.

After figuring it all out, Ye Mingsheng touched his nose in surprise. It seemed that his luck was pretty good today. Otherwise, if the assassin had broken into his tent today, things would have been much more troublesome.

Now a new problem is placed in front of Ye Mingsheng...
Who sent this escaped man in black?

When thinking of this question, the figure of Wang Kangxin first appeared in Ye Mingsheng's mind.

Wang Kangxin was also present at the celebration banquet tonight. Although he appeared to be very calm and did not seem to be at all abnormal, Ye Mingsheng, who was familiar with him, could clearly feel the gushing anger and cold murderous intent hidden beneath this guy's calm eyes.

There is no doubt that Wang Kangxin, who had been tricked by himself, had sufficient reasons to kill himself. Moreover, with the support of the Supervisory Office, he was also capable of finding the right person to assassinate him.

Although Wang Kangxin is the biggest suspect, Ye Mingsheng does not think that the escaped man in black was sent by him.

The reason is very simple. Although Wang Kangxin is very conceited, he still has some brains and a sense of the overall situation. He understands that this matter is not over yet and he and he are still grasshoppers on the same rope.

If he were assassinated at this juncture, things might become very troublesome, and might even have an adverse impact on him. Therefore, it was unlikely that Wang Kangxin would arrange for someone to kill him now.

Given Wang Kangxin's character, it was inevitable that he would come and cause trouble for himself, but he would probably wait until the matter was settled and the case was resolved into a murder. He would not be so impatient to act at such a sensitive time like now.

Realizing this, Ye Mingsheng frowned tightly. If it wasn't Wang Kangxin, then who on earth wanted to kill him?

(I would like to report to all readers on the status of this book. Although this book has been prepared for a long time, I have looked up a lot of information and spent a lot of time designing the plot, researching the exciting points, and portraying the characters.

But unfortunately, due to my personal level, my data collapsed as soon as I came down from the signing list, so the trial push was aborted, and there won’t even be a text push next week. Seriously speaking, it’s really frustrating, I don’t know why it’s like this...
Although it is difficult and the situation is cruel, and I don’t know if there will be any recommendations in the future, and it may even become a problem to get it on the shelves, but Tongming will do his best to persevere and present a wonderful story full of suspense for those who support me!

I would like to especially thank the book friends 20200307102650385, Rose Cherry Meat, Ming Gaofeng, No One Like You, niuyutu, Linitus, lzsg, Zaifu, Jiubing and other book friends for their support! Thank you very much! )
