Chapter 43: Missing and Assassinated

Yun'er nodded hurriedly and looked at Qi Rong in a panic.

Qi Rong immediately said in a deep voice,

"Help me to the front yard!"

Yun'er hesitated and didn't want to do it,

"But the young master's body ......"

Qi Rong's face was resolute, and he raised his hand to interrupt Yun'er's words.

Yun'er had no choice but to bring Qi Rong a cloak, and Bao Qi followed,

"I'll go with you. ”

Qi Rong bowed his head, and Yun'er tied his cloak and rushed towards the front yard together.

The nights in early autumn are not cold, and the cool wind is even a little refreshing, but Bao Qi always feels a little cool.

In the past, she only knew that Qi Rong's residence was located in the deep courtyard, which was far away from the front hall, but after tonight, she realized how far away this distance was.

The night was silent, walking from the residence to the small pavilion, the faint noise was not particularly clear, and Bao Qi's thoughts about Qi Rong were a little deeper.

The seriously ill person lives in such a remote area, if something happens, wouldn't it be too late for anything, if the family is really concerned, how can they be treated like this, even if Mrs. Qi arranges it like this, why does Master Qi agree?

Bao Qi was suspicious, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly started to support Qi Rong's other side, and said softly,

"Be careful. ”

The corners of Qi Rong's lips couldn't help but hook, and no one saw it in the night.

As the few people got closer and closer, the sound of panic became clearer, and the lanterns in the courtyard were all lit up, and the figures coming and going were shaking in the dimness.

Bao Qi and the three of them, at this moment, just turned around from the front row of the courtyard, reflecting the lanterns of the mansion, were in the elongated shadows, just in sight of the men and maids running around, followed by the angry reprimand of Master Qi,

"People stay in the house well, why are they gone!"

Qi Rongting's eyebrows furrowed, but in an instant, his body stiffened, and before he could make a sound while breathing, a cold light flashed quickly, and he saw a figure stabbing straight at the three of them.

Bao Qi grabbed Qi Rong's arm and suddenly tightened, and before he could say a word of caution, the sword light had already pierced in front of the door, bringing out a cold wind that approached Qi Rong.

Qi Rong's pupils constricted, even in the dark night, he stared at the other party without fear, reflecting the sword color of light and shadow like the wind, and at this moment, Yun'er's face suddenly tightened, and she exclaimed that there was an assassin, and she was about to push Qi Rong away.

It's a pity that no matter how fast the action is, it is still one step slower than the opponent's sword, Bao Qi feels that his heart is in his throat, and the sword body in the night is shining with cold light, and it is close at hand.

There was a clear sound, and before Bao Qi could react, the sword body as fast as the wind shadow suddenly provoked, and then there were several fast sounds of metal colliding in the sky.

At this time, the other people in the courtyard had also quickly surrounded them, nervously holding sticks and surrounding the three of them, shouting towards the sky,

"Arrest the Assassin!"

The sound of the sword only sounded a few times before it stopped, and the assassin obviously didn't want to dwell too much, and when he saw that everyone was aware of it, he jumped on the eaves and ran towards the outside of the mansion at great speed.

Someone pointed and shouted,

"The Assassin is over there!

The man who had just come up picked up the stick and hurriedly chased in the direction pointed by the other party.

In the dark, Bao Qi couldn't see the faces of others, she only knew that her heart was beating faster, and she was trying to control herself to calm down, but in a few seconds, her questions became more and more.

The housekeeper hurried to Qi Rong, unable to see his expression clearly, at least his voice was very worried,

"The eldest young master has a hand, and he blames his subordinates for not protecting him well, which frightened the eldest young master and grandmother. ”

While speaking, Master Qi and Mrs. Qi also rushed over, only to hear Master Qi call Rong'er in a low voice, Qi Rong and the three of them hurriedly took a few steps forward, and didn't care about anything else.

"The child is fine, I heard that Zhu'er is missing, is there any news?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Qi's face was already pale, her eyes were red, and Master Qi sank her face even more, and suppressed her breath in a cold voice,

"Not yet, Yue'er has already taken someone out to find it, if you let me know where this stinky girl has gone, I have to punish her!"

Mrs. Qi's eyes turned even redder when she heard this, and she retorted dissatisfied with Master Qi's words,

"The child is gone, and you still want to punish her! It's all my fault, if I hadn't locked her up, she wouldn't have left in a bad mood, if something unexpected happens......

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi burst into tears,

"I ......"

Before Mrs. Qi finished speaking, she bit her lip with a trembling voice, and her previously majestic and dignified face was overflowing with remorse.

Old Master Qi was also angry for a while, and he was naturally worried about Qi Zhu in his heart, but his tone did not ease.

"What's the use of talking about this now, I'll send someone to the government early tomorrow morning to report the case, maybe Yue'er will be able to find progress tonight." ”

Qi Rong waited for the two to stop talking, and then interjected,

"I wonder when Zhu'er disappeared, is there anyone else in the room?"

Ai Xue, who was standing behind her, stood up with a sob, with a look of traces of just crying, and choked up,

"The slave maid went to deliver food to the young lady tonight, the young lady kept saying no, and then she didn't say anything, the slave maid thought that the young lady was still angry, so she didn't dare to disturb, but I didn't expect that in the evening, the slave and the maid went to knock on the door again, and no one responded in the house, and the slave and maid panicked and noticed that something was wrong...... When I opened the door, I found that the young lady was ...... Miss ......"

Bao Qi silently listened to Ai Xue's narration, and always felt that it was not as simple as running away with negative energy, she glanced at Qi Rong, her face was pale and there was not much expression, except that her eyes were slightly deep, and she was obviously a little suspicious of the reason for the other party's disappearance.

Bao Qi saw that after listening to Ai Xue's narration, Bao Qi's face became even worse, and he also persuaded,

"The second elder must not worry too much, waiting for Sister Zhu'er to find it back, but tired of sick aunt and father, maybe in a short time, Sister Zhu'er will come back safely, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable to see the second elder like this. ”

Old Man Qi's face eased a lot, but the sorrow on his brows became more and more profound, and he glanced at Qi Rong and said,

"It's cold in the middle of the night, and you're not well, so let's go back and rest, and when Zhu'er finds it, I'll send someone to the backyard to inform you." ”

Qi Rong bowed,

"Zhu'er is missing, the child has not been able to share his father's worries, and he feels guilty, and hopes that his father and aunt can take care of their health and not worry too much. ”

Bao Qi helped Qi Rong to leave, and Master Qi watched the two of them suddenly speak,

"The Assassin ...... just now"

Bao Qi was shocked, secretly glanced at Qi Rong, and saw that the other party's expression remained unchanged and listened respectfully to Master Qi's words,

"Did it hurt you?"

Bao Qi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, obviously everyone didn't pay attention to what was going on.

Qi Rong bowed his head and said respectfully,

Thanks to her father's concern, Rong'er was not injured, and thanks to the timely arrival of the Steward Shen, the assassin was unable to succeed. ”

Master Qi was a little relieved, nodded and sighed,

"It's okay, go back to your room quickly, don't aggravate your condition." ”

Qi Zhu said goodbye again, and then he was supported by Yun'er and Bao Qi, and walked back slowly.
