Chapter 69 Outside the camp
When the generals heard the general's questioning of Li Jing, their faces changed slightly. Dingdian novels were updated the fastest
They had also guessed who was in the army who dared to assassinate the general, but no one had ever doubted Li Jing.
Because although Li Jing is a noble child, he has completely integrated into the army, and since Huan Chang took office as general, Li Jing has also strongly supported it.
In addition, Li Jing was open-minded and disdainful of assassination, so the generals never doubted him.
However, seeing Huan Chang's posture, it should have been confirmed that the person behind the assassin was Li Jing.
"Since taking office, the general has worked hard every day to make many contributions to the prosperity of the Song State and has been deeply loved by the soldiers in the army."
"However, some people sent soldiers in the army to assassinate the general with taboo crossbows, which was extremely hateful!"
"If the general finds the person instructed behind the scenes, he will be willing to lead his troops to take off the head of this person!"
Li Jing was furious and filled with righteous indignation. His expression seemed to be like the person instructing him to appear in front of him, he would be torn to pieces by him.
When the generals saw Li Jing's performance, they were immediately stunned and began to doubt whether they had guessed that they were wrong.
Huan Chang looked at Li Jing's face carefully, but he couldn't see any hypocritical elements from the other party's expression, and his brows frowned.
However, although Shadow failed to find conclusive evidence, it was also possible to confirm that the person behind the scenes was Li Jing.
Huan Chang took a deep breath, pointed to the crossbows in the hands of soldiers around him and said, "Each of these crossbows is registered in the army. Even these arrows made of special materials have detailed numbers."
"However, after I was assassinated, I sent someone to count the warehouse, but I didn't find any suspicion at all. It seems that the person behind this instructor is very energetic."
Li Jing said indignantly again: "Since this person has such great energy, he must be a senior general in the army. As a subordinate, he sent someone to assassinate the general, which is extremely hateful!"
Li Jing held the hilt of the sword in his hand and looked around the generals with a bad face, as if he was searching for the suspect.
The generals were investigated so carefully by Li Jing. Even though they did not send anyone to assassinate the general, they still felt a little cold in their hearts and their faces became serious.
Seeing Li Jing's impeccable performance, Huan Chang smiled, and was very happy.
"General Li, I heard that you are from the Li family."
Huan Chang's inexplicable words made the generals in the camp a little confused, but soon someone seemed to think of something and stared at Li Jing with flickering eyes.
“That’s right.”
Li Jing did not deny it, and responded calmly.
"I thanked the lord for his respect and asked me to take charge of the reform, but since the new release was promulgated, many people have obstructed it either openly or secretly."
"Among them, the Li family in Shangqiu seems to be a fierce opponent."
Before this, Huan Chang was still speaking expressionlessly, but when he talked about this, he suddenly took out a stack of paper from his arms and threw it on the ground with blue veins on his face.
"General Li, see how many evil things your Li family has done over the years!"
"And with their obstruction of the new law, I have every right to arrest the mastermind and bring it to justice!"
Huan Chang held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his voice and expression were both harsh.
The crossbow soldiers who surrounded the generals also pointed the crossbow arrows in their hands at Li Jing.
Li Jing, who had always been leaking, finally changed his face at this time.
Even though Li Jing did send someone to assassinate Huan Chang, he was confident that Huan Chang could not find conclusive evidence. With Li Jing's prestige in the army and his family's power in Shangqiu, Huan Chang did not dare to do anything to himself.
But now, Huan Chang suddenly mentioned the crimes committed by the Li family over the years and the obstruction of the new law, and Li Jing could no longer remain calm.
Every big family cannot have a clean foundation. As long as the superiors really want to check, they can find many problems.
As for obstructing the new law, if Huan Chang held on to it, according to the new law, Huan Chang had a complete excuse to get rid of the Li family.
Even though Li Jing did not agree with what the family did, he still had an inseparable relationship with the family.
"Calm down, I want to calm down now."
"There are many nobles who block the new law. If the general dares to attack our Li family, he will definitely offend the public's anger."
"At that time, it might even cause chaos in the Song Dynasty. It is impossible for the general to see this with the wisdom of the general."
"And I have heavy troops in my hands, and most of the generals under my command are from the Li family. If the general really wants to get rid of my Li family, those Li family members who serve in the army will never agree."
Thinking of this, Li Jing slowly calmed down.
He breathed out and said, "If someone in my Li family has done something illegal or illegal, the general can just inform the officials and then deal with it impartially."
"I, the Li family, will never tolerate such a black sheep!"
The generals watched the two of them faced each other and felt the cold arrows in the hands of the crossbowman, and their palms were wet with sweat.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the barracks stationed by Li Jing's army was obviously much more tense than before.
The gate of the military camp was closed tightly, and there were a large number of fully armed generals at the gate of the camp, looking vigilantly at the distance with weapons.
"Tait!"
Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came and the earth shook slightly.
"This is the important place of the military camp, and people come to stop!"
When the general guarding the camp gate heard the sound of horse hooves, his face changed drastically. He raised his spear in his hand and pointed it into the distance. His energy sinks into his dantian and shouts loudly.
"Tait!"
The goalkeeper was like a bell. Even though the horses galloped, the knights still heard the warning, but no knight held the horses.
"Watch, watch, watch!"
Seeing the cavalry in the distance getting closer, the goalkeeper's face immediately changed. Even though he had seen the opponent wearing Song army armor, the goalkeeper still shouted loudly.
This person is also a child of the Li family. Before Li Jing went to the banquet, he had secretly summoned the children of the clan and asked them to lead their trusted men to guard the camp.
According to Li Jing's expectations, as long as the Li family can control an army, even if General Huan Chang really wants to deal with him, he will be afraid of three points.
Because Huan Chang could not find conclusive evidence to deal with Li Jing, and rashly arresting people would only cause dissatisfaction with the soldiers under Li Jing's command.
If the soldiers under Li Jing were encouraged by the Li family's children, they might have a mutiny.
The Song State was originally a small country. If there was civil strife in the army and the aristocrats' resistance to the new law, the national strength would definitely be greatly weakened.
No matter which aspect he considered, Huan Chang did not dare to take advantage of the world and deal with Li Jing and the Li family.
Even so, the Li family members who were guarding the gate were still very careful. Only after seeing cavalry rushing over, the soldiers were kept on guard.
