Chapter 214: Assassin

Dong'an was in the carriage of the Guogong Mansion when he heard Qiao Mu speaking unreasonably, and hurriedly opened the curtain to deal with two sentences. He poked his head out before thinking about it, and a group of archers on both sides of the street were ambushed at some point, and for a while, arrows rained down on the carriage of the Xia family.

Wen Niang exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly drew her sword to resist,

Fortunately, Xiaoyu heard Qiao Mu's rudeness and became suspicious, and also lifted the corner of the car curtain and carefully swept outside, glimpsing the cold light of the shops on the side of the road, and couldn't help but be startled, hurriedly put the car curtain down, rolled on the bottom of the carriage, raised his eyes and saw Xue Shizi getting up to check, and hurriedly pulled him down.

Xue Shizi didn't watch out for being pulled down by Xiaoyu all of a sudden, and pounced on Xiaoyu, only to feel that Xiaoyu under him snorted softly. panicked and hurriedly got up to dodge, Xiaoyu saw that he hurriedly hugged him, and said in a low voice: "Don't get up, there are assassins." ”

Poor Xue Shizi was soft and fragrant in his arms, and before he had time to enjoy it, more than a dozen arrow feathers came with the sound of the wind, as if the Zhang butcher in the north of the city was chopping meat filling, and the sound of the doo was endless, and the car walls on both sides were covered with arrow rain in the blink of an eye.

Xue Shizi habitually touched the saber on his waist, only to remember that he was sick, the knife had been removed, and he didn't know where it was placed by Dong'an. I had the heart to look for it, but the arrow rain was endless, and I suddenly felt that half of my life was not as dangerous as today, so I had to hug Xiaoyu and secretly thought: "As long as you can protect her, that's it." ”

Xiaoyu struggled for a while, and whispered with a red face: "Let go, I'm about to be strangled to death by you." ”

Xue Shizi let go of his hand slightly, and Xiaoyu hurriedly withdrew his hand. Buckled the baffle of the seat, took out a Pu knife from it, and stuffed it into Xue Shizi's arms. said: "You go over there and hide, well, it will be opened as soon as you pick it." As he spoke, he rolled under the seat, and the baffle was pulled, leaving Xue Shizi alone on the floor of the carriage.

At this time, the carriage suddenly moved, Xiaoyu was shocked, and secretly thought: "At this time, I am in Beijing." Even if there is an assassin, if he misses the blow, the argument will immediately flee. I don't think I'm going to fight. Although she is a woman, she has experienced a lot of battles, so she shouldn't be so flustered and try to escape with a carriage. As for the people under Brother Xue, Brother Xue had a fierce temperament, and he didn't give an order. How these people are willing to retreat. It can be seen that this coachman is not his own person. He must have wanted to drive the carriage to a secluded and uninhabited place. ”

Her mind was racing, and she hurriedly pushed open the baffle and wanted to discuss with Xue Shizi, but when she saw Xue Shizi holding a machete with his back to her hand to block the arrows flying everywhere, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and secretly thought: "I'm so bitter and mean, I always think that Brother Xue is not good here, where is it bad, in fact, he is better than me in everything." And he was really good to me. It's really bad, it's just that I don't care about myself too much. I persuaded him in the future, although he was a little stubborn, he could listen to me and half a sentence, and he slowly changed. ”

Xue Shizi heard the movement behind him, tilted his head and saw her looking at him, thinking that she was afraid, so he said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I'll go to the front and have a look." ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, she was scared for some reason, and pulled Xue Shizi's sleeve and said with teary eyes: "Don't be reckless, if you break a little skin, I, I, I ......" She has a strong nature, even if she said some soft words, it was mostly forced by the situation, and nine times out of ten she was a deceit. Now that the love is here, I am worried that Xue Shizi is still fighting for his life as before, and half of his former cleverness is gone, so he is so anxious that his face is red and he can't speak.

Xue Shizi had never seen her like this, and he was in a hurry to go out, so he had to comfort him softly: "Don't worry, I will only see and never do anything with them." ”

Seeing him lift the curtain to block a few arrows, Xiaoyu rushed out, and hurriedly shrank and hid under the saddle. I was worried that he was sick and in danger, and I hated myself for not being angry, and I couldn't even understand a sentence. I was at a loss for what to do, and the carriage stopped suddenly. Xiaoyu secretly wondered: "Isn't it that Brother Xue has succeeded?" After a while, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside, and the sound of swords clashing everywhere, presumably his own guards had chased after him.

After fighting like this for a while, Xia Erye's voice suddenly sounded, Xiaoyu was determined, but in a few breaths, the sound of fighting outside became smaller, and occasionally the woman's shouting could be heard, as if she was rounding up someone, Xiaoyu thought: "I don't know what happened to the woman at the beginning." ”

Just thinking about it, the curtain was raised, and Xia Erye called softly: "Jiu'er." ”

Xiaoyu hurriedly rolled out from under the car seat, and the second master saw her rushing out, so he hurriedly stopped her: "The thieves are dead, let's go home." ”

Xiaoyu remembered Xue Shizi in her heart, and she was embarrassed to say it directly, so she had to retract it, secretly opened the curtain and looked out, and saw Xue Shizi immediately with a horizontal knife, and the spots on the white robe were all bloodstains, obviously not as he said: "Just take a look." Xiaoyu didn't care to complain, and hurriedly beckoned to him. Xue Shizi was also looking at her carriage from afar, and when he saw her coming over, he also had the heart to lean over and say a few words of comfort. I didn't want Xia Erye to greet him and thanked him. At this time, the wheels rolled, and Wen Niang immediately surrounded them, escorting the carriage to the Xia Mansion.

Xiaoyu had to sigh, retract her body and summon Wen Niang: "But someone is injured?" ”

Wen Niang didn't hesitate to jump into the carriage directly, sat opposite Xiaoyu, and said in a low voice: "Only the cicada shrimp and the water tiger were injured by arrows, but they are not serious." Two of the guards around Shizi were also injured, and the people next to him were fine. ”

Xiaoyu nodded, and Wen Niang continued: "I was at the end of the line, and when that group saw Dong'an showing his head, they immediately fired arrows at your carriage, but I was afraid that ...... It's not for you, it's for Xue Shizi. ”

Xiaoyu pondered for a long time, and sighed secretly: "It's really here." ”

Wen Niang said: "These people are all dead soldiers, and they fled after missing a blow, and the rest committed suicide when they saw that they couldn't escape." The woman who said that the eighth master bullied men and women has been caught by me and hidden in the car. ”

Xiaoyu lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "You go to Xue Shizi in a while, and let him ask for his resignation tomorrow." ”

Wen Niang frowned and looked at Xiao Yu in confusion, Xiao Yu sighed and said, "You just tell him like this, he will naturally understand what I mean." ”

Xiaoyu returned to the Xia Mansion and stayed quietly for half a month, the Xia family was as calm as water, as if nothing had happened. However, there was an uproar in the Guogong Mansion, and Xue Shizi wrote with blood and tears, forcing him to die, and wanted to give the position of the prince to Xue Wen, the son of the Xu family.

Zhao Huanhuan looked at Xu, who was ten years old all of a sudden, and didn't even dare to take a breath. Mrs. Xu held the tea cup and wondered why she had the idea of going out to Xia Mansion to propose marriage, which was simply luring the wolf into the room. It was not easy to clean up Xue Shizi's new house, and everyone was used to their cramped courtyard, so they didn't come to her to make trouble, and before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they heard that Xue Yu ran to the palace to ask the sage to give up the position of the prince to his younger brother Xue Wen, which was simply a disaster from the sky.

If that's all it takes, the key is that the day before Xue Shizi went to the book, he happened to encounter a group of assassins, and it is said that Xue Shizi, who was hard at his mother, was almost shot into a hedgehog. Although Xue Shizi was the same as everyone else when he handed over the folds in the court, he didn't look like a hedgehog at all, but his face was a little pale, his voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was sad with a bit nasal.

However, the rumors in the capital are very terrifying: the tiger and tiger Xue Shizi fell to the palace with vain steps, begging the saint for mercy. Not only did the prince of the world no longer want the title, but even the general of the fourth rank had to resign. Then, General Xue and the Holy Lord discussed secretly for more than an hour, and finally the Holy Lord was furious and blasted Xue Shizi out. The Assassins sent out to hunt down the Assassins only found a few corpses, and they couldn't find anything later.

Mrs. Xu felt that she had fallen into bad luck when she met Xue Shizi, and she was like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. When this stepson grew up, she was thinking about finding a daughter-in-law with a soft personality and an unknown family background, so that she could get rid of his anger. As a result, now that his anger has not gone, she has held back her resentment.

Mrs. Xu wanted to hide in the mansion at first, but a few days after Xia Liuye returned to Beijing, the Han family, who had a relationship with Xue Wending, sent Huan Huan over: "Madam is really good-tempered, now we girls don't dare to go out, and we have to explain to you wherever we go." ”

was so angry that Mrs. Xu almost came out of her old blood, and she also wanted to go out to explain. The problem is that Xue Shizi only said: "The ministers are shallow in their studies, and they have been fighting horses for many years, and when they return to Beijing this time, they are not familiar with everything in Beijing." The minister thought that since he couldn't relieve the saint's worries, it would be difficult to eat the king's fortune again. Although Xue Wen, the younger brother of the minister, is young, he is dedicated to learning, and in time he will be able to become the arm of a saint. "There was not a single word about the Assassins.

Fortunately, the matter has faded to this point, and Mrs. Xu came out to socialize, and there were new rumors in a few days. It is said that the assassin was actually sent by the Xidu people to assassinate Xia Liuye, and I heard that Xia Liuye entered Beijing a few days ahead of schedule because he was afraid that the Xidu people would know his whereabouts. At the beginning, there was a big battle in Dalini, and the sixth master killed tens of thousands of of them, and now the sixth master has lost his power when he returns to the field, and the people of Xidu have come to seek revenge.

As soon as the news came out, he was so bluffed that Ruowu and Sihua took turns to invite the sixth master to eat and drink to show the friendship between the two countries. As for the number of retinues of the nobles who had been discussing for a long time in the protocol department, it was reduced from ten to two in just one day.

It's just that when this matter came to the ladies, everyone couldn't help but think about it again, and they teased Mrs. Xu's wrist. It was the Han family that came to send the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts more than usual, and the mother-in-law sent was full of words, but we were shallow and didn't see the deep meaning of the lady.

Mrs. Xu knew her own family, and she hatefully came out and said that she was sick. She only said this in the morning, and in the afternoon Xue Shizi came with supplements: "If mother is in a hurry, I will go to the saint tomorrow to mention the matter of changing the title of the son." ”

Immediately, Mrs. Xu's face turned white, and the next day she obediently came out to Zhang Luo Xue Yu's marriage. When Xue Yu heard this, he sat on his bed with the quilt and laughed, and thought to himself: "When Jiu'er persuaded me not to be hard topped, I was still not happy, and I dared to think of such a ghost idea." Unfortunately, this time the saint and I got our hearts, but there was no news of this group of assassins. (To be continued......)
