Chapter 271: Murder
According to the rules left by the ancestors, they were not allowed to stay overnight on the day of returning to Ningning, so Xiao Yi and his wife had lunch with the elders of the Gu Mansion, and they were about to go home. Although they repeatedly refused when they went out, Gu Zhengde and Fu Shi still brought a group of people to the door, watching the little couple's carriage and horses slowly leave Huaxiang.
Looking at Rulai, Xiao Yi carefully helped Gu Yanling to get into the car, and only cared about Gu Yanling between his demeanors, Xie Shi couldn't help but smile reassuring when he looked at the corners of his lips, and gently leaned on Gu Jingxi's side, which could be regarded as dissipating the last trace of worry.
The smoker in the car was filled with the fragrance of pear blossoms prepared by Xiao Yi for Gu Yanling, Gu Yanling lay lazily in Xiao Yi's arms, holding his waist with both hands, Xiao Yi gently wrapped around her, and gently brushed the loose hair for her.
"Sleepy?"
The voice sounded low and warm, Xiao Yi looked down at the person in his arms, but he felt that Gu Yanling just shook his head, and then like a cat, his hair changed to a more comfortable position to lean on himself.
"Except to eat is sleepy, except to be sleepy is to eat, what should I become. ”
Hearing the hazy voice of the person in his arms, Xiao Yi smiled dotingly and said nothing, but his hands were a little gentler.
"I heard that the Queen Mother picked up a daughter from the palace, do you know?"
Gu Yanling crouched in Xiao Yi's arms, his beautiful eyes were half-squinted and half-opened, and he asked this sentence quite lazily, but Xiao Yi, who was holding him, thought for a moment, and then didn't care much: "I heard that it was the only daughter of General Huwei who died in Liaodong this time." ”
Gu Yanling heard that the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and then he closed his eyes completely, and answered unhurriedly: "General Huwei's wife died early, but it is deep and righteous, and he has raised this daughter alone so far, and he is quite cherished, and he is thinking about the future of this daughter before he died, and now that General Huwei has died, this daughter is alone, and when she heard that the Queen Mother was in love, she put this daughter into the palace to teach herself, not only that, but the Queen Mother also intends to ask for a grace for General Huwei's Mansion in front of His Majesty, and make that daughter the county lord." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then looked at the person in his arms and was about to ask something, but suddenly heard Tan Mo outside quite anxious and panicked: "Be careful, be careful-"
Tan Mo's voice was so sharp that it was about to distort, Xiao Yi and Gu Yanling were startled when they heard this, and then they could only hear the deafening sound of firecrackers, the firecrackers that fell from the air exploded in all directions, and the jumping sparks suddenly fell on the horse, almost at the same time, the horse in front of the car was frightened, raised his front hooves between his heads and began to neigh in fright, hearing the uneasy meaning, Tan Mo's face turned pale, and he hurriedly went to pull the reins with the panicked coachman.
Who knew that the horse was frightened and went crazy, and rushed straight forward, shaking his head irritably, and threw the coachman off the car, and could only hear the screams of the coachman in pain, Tan Mo was shocked and sat back, only to feel the horse in front of him galloping wildly on the road, and the passers-by on both sides were so frightened that they flashed to both sides.
Tan Mo's face turned white when he watched this scene, and he involuntarily trembled: "Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good-"
At this moment, the car is not much better, the whole body is shaking, the things on the case are sparsely dropped, and the sound of things exploding and breaking can only be heard in the ears, Xiao Yi, who was originally tightly protecting Gu Yanling in his arms with both hands, frowned when he heard the sound, and had some bad premonitions, and lifted the curtain between the violent swaying of the body, and immediately shrank his pupils when he saw this scene, and then quickly said in Gu Yanling's ear: "I'll go out and put the horse away, don't move here, wait for me-"
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yi was afraid that Gu Yanling would be injured, so he moved her to the corner of the car, and then wrapped her in a soft mattress.
Who knew that as soon as his hand touched the curtain, the body shook violently, Gu Yanling was thrown and hit a few fallen legs on the side, a slight pain came from the back of his head, and the next moment the sound of the wheels "squeak-" could almost be heard in his ears, as if the whole car was about to burst without holding the weight.
Hearing Xiao Yi's worried inquiry, Gu Yanling knew that Xiao Yi couldn't be distracted by himself at the moment, so he naturally replied that nothing happened, but he tried to take advantage of the chaos to climb back to the corner of the car and sit on his knees.
Looking at the panicked people on both sides of the road, thinking of Gu Yanling behind him, this Xiao Yi almost gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull the reins, although Xiao Yi's equestrian skills among the princes and grandsons were already top-notch, but at this moment, the horse was frightened, his eyes were blood-red, and the reins in his hand were still held by Xiao Yi in his hand, even if there were blood marks in the palm of his hand, he still did not throw it away.
I don't know how far I ran, at this moment, Tan Mo has been turned upside down, and even the things in front of him are almost unclear, the horse in front of the car seems to be gradually losing strength, without the previous madness, Xiao Yi can't care about the sweat on his forehead, and tries to finally subdue the horse.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange voice, looking for a sound, only to see that the wooden pole of the flag on the second floor of a merchant in front of him suddenly fell, and the horse in front of him continued to run forward without stopping, when he saw the two ends of the wooden pole sharpened, Xiao Yi almost immediately thought of something, his face turned pale, and the next moment he threw off the reins in his hand without hesitation, turned over and conveniently landed towards the car.
Because at the speed of the horse, when the bamboo pole fell, it almost plunged straight into the car.
When Gu Yanling didn't expect it, she saw a person rush in from behind the curtain, and before she came back to her senses, the person held her tightly in his arms, took her around, and smelled the familiar wood fragrance, Gu Yanling relaxed his vigilance a little, and the next moment, he heard a "boom-" sound, as if the entire roof of the car had been smashed, and then a sound hit his ears heavily, with a fierce wind.
When Gu Yanling's face changed slightly, and when he turned to look, even his heartbeat stopped for a moment, and almost instantly, his whole body was cold.
I saw a sharpened wooden pole stuck in her ear not far away, and for the first time in her life, she felt that death was so close to her.
"Lord Han, Lord Han, help-"
Tan Mo's voice suddenly sounded in her ears that she was so excited that she couldn't speak, but Gu Yanling didn't have time to think about it, because a smell of blood gradually reached the tip of her nose, and when she looked down, the sleeve on Xiao Yi's arm was torn, and it was already smeared with blood.
"Ah Yi—"
Gu Yanling's heart sank, almost shocked, but Xiao Yi didn't move, and protected her in his arms, obviously his face was pale, but he comforted her: "It's okay, don't worry." ”
