Volume 1 Chu Jing Fengyun 008: Assassination
The next day, Lou Yichen asked people to prepare a carriage and set off for Beijing.
When I came, I traveled day and night, and when I returned, I could only stop and go, rush during the day, stay at the inn at night, and pass by many towns along the way, because I took the official road, and most of the places I passed through had the industry of Ningguo Mansion, so after walking for many days, there were still more than two hundred miles left, and naturally I couldn't be so fast when Lou Yichen came.
I walked like this for five days, and it was all peaceful.
On the official road, more than 20 Xuanyi guards rode horses around the carriage and slowly advanced.
Lou Yichen rode a brown horse next to the sandalwood carriage, close to protect.
The curtain of the carriage next to him was lifted, and Lou Yichen turned his head puzzled, "Why don't you take a break?"
The carriage is relatively wide, and the system is ingenious, much more stable than ordinary carriages, plus Lou Yueqing wants to go back as soon as possible, so in addition to resting at night, Lou Yichen is in a hurry during the day.
She didn't want to bump on the road for too long, not to mention, now that the divorce period is less than twenty days, if the eldest brother goes back later, I'm afraid it won't be good.
Lou Yueqing smiled faintly, "I'm not tired, I'm stuffy in the carriage all day, so I can breathe!"
Lou Yichen realized that it was not very comfortable to ride in the carriage.
Lou Yueqing smiled, "I haven't asked yet, how is my future sister-in-law?"
The woman Lou Yichen wants to marry must be Chu Jing's lady, but she did not let people investigate in detail.
I only know that it was personally selected by Mrs. Ning Guo, so naturally it will not be bad.
Lou Yichen was at a loss, tightened his sword eyebrows, and said helplessly, "I don't know much about her, I only know that she is Lin Shibo's daughter, I have only met once, she has a good upbringing, and her mother praises her very well, which is better than other women of the world!"
Lou Yueqing's face was stunned, and she was particularly puzzled, "Then how could the eldest brother plan to marry her?"
According to the character of the eldest brother, how could he agree to marry a man he did not understand? If he were not willing, no one would have forced him, and with his status and his mother's open-mindedness, he would certainly not have forced him to marry a woman he did not like.
Lou Yichen is an iron-blooded man, so naturally he will not really obey the words of the matchmaker who feels the orders of his parents.
Lou Yichen heard this, held the reins of the hand for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "A month ago, the Queen Mother summoned her mother into the palace, intending to marry Princess Zhaoqi to me, controlling the soldiers and horses of the Lou family, the heart of the Queen Mother, how can the Lou family be unknown, I naturally can't marry the princess, and Princess Zhaoqi is extremely domineering, unbearable to be a wife, even if I don't marry a wife in my life, I won't marry her as a wife, my mother asked my opinion after leaving the palace, Miss Lin Jia's family education is excellent, my mother said it was very suitable, and I agreed!"
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she understood.
The royal family naturally wants to hold the Lou family's soldiers and horses in their hands, so that they don't have any worries.
The four major heroes of the founding of the country, now only the Lou family and the Lin family are left, the Lin family and the auxiliary state mansion have been declining, the Lou family of the Ning Guo Mansion is thriving, in charge of the soldiers and horses, can not be moved lightly, and the Lou family has one thing, which is the most feared storage of the royal family, can only be controlled, the royal family is always a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, the four heroes, now only the Lou family is the most feared, the royal family wants to do this, it is normal.
Lou Yueqing's eyes trembled slightly, and she said lightly, "In this way, if I go back, I will be the object of calculation!"
The descendants of the descendants are the most valuable in a family, and there are many side lines of the Lou family, but there are only Lou Yichen, the eldest son and her daughter, and the others are concubines.
Lou Yichen pursed his lips and said, "Qing'er, don't worry, my brother won't let you be wronged, my sister is naturally going to marry the best man in the world, how can you be manipulated by the royal family for the rest of your life?
The corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't speak.
If she doesn't want to, naturally, no one will force her.
"The Lou family has been loyal to the monarch for generations, and the royal family also understands, how can it be ・・・・・・?"
Lou Yichen said, "You haven't been back to Beijing for many years, you may not understand many things, and now the Queen Mother and the Prince Regent are not in harmony, because the emperor is weak, the regent **, and the Queen Mother's political views are different, and the Queen Mother's family is merciless, the Queen Mother wants to win over the Lou family, but I can't think of a way, Princess Zhaoqi is the daughter of the Queen Mother, if she marries into the Lou family, the Queen Mother will have more bargaining chips!"
The relationship between the Queen Mother and the regent does not seem to be a secret in Chujing, but it is not known why it is so so, even though they are mother and son.
Now, the power of Chu is in the hands of Rong Zhi, but the Queen Mother has great opinions about this son and opposes him everywhere.
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she thought thoughtfully, "No wonder ・・・・・・・"
Those killers assassinated Rong Zhi, but they had Chu Guofeng's order on their bodies, which they didn't quite understand, but now, they can be regarded as clear.
"What?" Lou Yichen was puzzled when he heard this.
Smiled slightly, "It's okay!"
Lou Yichen was helpless, "You!"
Moving forward slowly, suddenly, Lou Yichen suddenly grabbed the reins, "Huh!"
The guards also stopped.
With a slight movement of his ears, Lou Yichen suddenly reached out and held the hilt of the sword.
In the carriage, Mo Li shrank from the corner of his eye and said, "There is an ambush ・・・・・・"
Lou Yueqing was stunned.
She can't perceive it now, but she can't feel it because of her martial arts.
Before he could speak, Lou Yichen's voice came from outside, "You protect the county lord!"
The voices of the guards came with a hint of shock, "Yes!"
Then Lou Yichen spoke again, "Qing'er, don't come out in the carriage!"
Lou Yueqing hurriedly lifted the curtain, and sure enough, she saw a group of black-clothed people landing in front of her.
Lou Yichen had already jumped and stood in front of the carriage with his sword in hand.
"Big Brother ・・・・・・"
Lou Yichen tilted his head and said in a deep voice, "Don't come out!"
After saying that, the man in black had already rushed over, and Lou Yichen and them were involved in the battle.
And the guards were all around the carriage, looking around vigilantly.
Sure enough, from both sides of the carriage, there were also a group of killers who surrounded the carriage.
"Protect the county lord!"
The sound of a guard was heard, followed by the sound of swords colliding and the smell of blood.
Lou Yueqing's face changed slightly, and she opened the curtain to look, Lou Yichen and the three black-clothed men were fighting not far away, and next to the carriage, there were still a few guards guarding, holding swords.
Mo Li wanted to speak.
"Master・・・・・・
An arrow suddenly broke through the air and shot straight at the position of the carriage Lou Yueqing.
Lou Yichen was fighting with the man in black, and he was still tentatively looking at who the other party was, so he didn't use all his strength, but suddenly an arrow suddenly shot at the carriage, he immediately condensed his internal breath, and directly slapped several people in black away with one palm, and the man in black was ejected a few feet away, and immediately vomited blood and died.
Lou Yichen didn't make any stops, and quickly rushed to the carriage, however, no matter how fast his speed was, it couldn't be faster than the speed of the arrow, seeing that the arrow was getting closer and closer to Lou Yueqing, the guards next to him were all fighting, and she could only watch the arrow shoot, her face changed, and she immediately wanted to dodge.
