Chapter 365: Assassin Again
Gu Ruoxi and Xiahou Bing have been in Guan County for almost a week, and they have almost investigated in Guan County, and they also know that the dam is in the back mountain, as long as they cross the back mountain, they can see the dam. The local magistrate seems to have learned from someone that Xiahou Bing is the lord of a country, and he specially came from Chang'an City to investigate the matter, and came from home, although he had stored a small amount of grain, but he still took it out without hesitation.
The inn where Gu Ruoxi lived, the proprietress inside seemed to feel that she was indeed too greedy for money, and in the past few days, she has also returned to her previous price, selling it for one silver tael per room, which made Gu Ruoxi suddenly feel no angry.
And on this day, the two of them were also invited to the county magistrate's house for dinner, although they knew that it was still a time of drought, but they also knew that the county was a good heart, and they couldn't shirk it.
When they came to the county governor's house, they found that it was too tattered. Although I went to the study room of the county, I found that the books inside had accumulated a thick layer of dust, which should have been read, but because there was too much dust outside, it led to such a result.
The table may have been worn out due to long-term use. The two of them looked at each other, and they seemed to have the same answer in their hearts: to help them get a new one.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing in the old minister's house that can be in your eyes, and thank you for taking the time to come to the old minister's house for dinner. "The county is called Zhou Li, the name is like a character, polite, and knows how to advance and retreat.
And Zhou Li's wife is also very dignified, although she wears coarse cloth clothes, she still can't hide that dignified temperament. But their children were very naughty, and one of the boys, when he saw that they were in the midst of the drought, had to take out the food that they had been saving for so long, and said with tears in his eyes, "Daddy, why do we have to take out the food that we have stored at home for so long since these two strangers?
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, her heart was sour. He picked up the few silver taels left on his body and put them in the little boy's hand, "Child, these silver taels, when there is no drought in the future, you can go and buy something to eat, you know?"
The boy didn't seem to have seen the silver tael, and he was stunned all of a sudden. And Zhou Li next to him suddenly became a little angry, "Zhou Xu, what are you doing? You are so bold, this is the emperor today, and Niangniang, you are so rude, hurry up and apologize!"
"It's fine. Minister Zhou, we came this time, and it was originally a private visit to Weifu. Ruoxi also cherishes these children, so let them go. Moreover, you are already abundant. I will definitely handle this drought properly. Xiahou Bing explained beside him, looking at Gu Ruoxi's innocent appearance, he was also very happy.
When Zhou Li heard this, he didn't say anything anymore. Everyone ate a lot of things in one night, and although Zhou Li's wife was going to prepare a few more dishes, she was still rejected by Gu Ruoxi. Gu Ruoxi said: They originally ate less in the palace, and the rest of the food had to be thrown away. Now outside the palace, if you can save it, you can save it.
In fact, in the palace, eating so much food is a waste, because that is the rule set by the ancestors, which cannot be corrected.
After they had eaten, they did not decide to go back in a carriage, but prepared for the two of them to walk away in the moonlight. Gu Ruoxi knew that maybe Xiahou Bing was going to say something to herself. I don't know why, when they were leaving, the little boy she gave to the silver taels just now actually came up, and then 'gifted' one of the silver taels to Gu Ruoxi, saying a word, "Sister, this is for you." We have a drought here, and if you have any difficulties, this is your money. ”
Gu Ruoxi nodded, no matter how much she didn't want to accept what the child gave her. But I still endured it, this child is indeed very cute and very considerate, Gu Ruoxi, who didn't want a child, suddenly wanted to give birth to a child.
The two of them walked in the moonlight, Xiahou Bing suddenly took Gu Ruoxi's hand, and looked at the beautiful scenery of Guan County, although it was not so fascinating at night, but it still had a unique style.
Xiahou Bing suddenly stopped in front of the inn, and Gu Ruoxi was frightened. What's wrong with him? Now that he's only a few steps away from the inn, does he have anything he has to say now?
"Ruoxi~I...... I have something to say to you. Xiahou Bing was suddenly a little incoherent, like a child. And Gu Ruoxi also listened to what he said patiently, as long as it was what he said, she would definitely listen patiently.
"Hmm. Say it, I'll listen to it. Gu Ruoxi nodded and looked at him affectionately.
"Ruoxi~ You have paid a lot for me, and I also know that you are very good to me, this time I will go back to the palace...... I want to canonize you as ......" Xiahou Bing said so affectionately, but he didn't see a person flying out of the grass, holding a long sword, and stabbed at them like this.
Gu Ruoxi was standing in front of Xiahou Bing, and that person appeared from in front of Xiahou Bing. Xiahou Bing's pupils dilated, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer. His sincere confession has not yet been spoken, how could such a thing happen. Like, he still came out with his own sword, otherwise he really didn't know what was going on.
Just like that, he took out the accessories and fought alone with the other party, and Gu Ruoxi next to him was frightened. She could already roughly guess what he was going to say, but why did they run into so many Assassins along the way? Could it be that someone had deliberately let them murder them?
"Who are you, who sent you? Xiahou Bing roared loudly, but the secret guards inside immediately knew about Xiahou Bing's situation and rushed out of it at once.
"Who is it? You don't deserve to know. The man said very evilly, looking at Gu Ruoxi with trembling eyes, as if he wanted to eat Gu Ruoxi.
But as soon as the man in black saw the secret guard coming out, he stabbed Xiahou Bing's hand with the knife at once, and then left in a hurry.
Gu Ruoxi watched Xiahou Bing's blood flow out of her arm, and her heart felt as if she had been cut by a knife, and she ran to Xiahou Bing very sadly, "Ah Bing, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine. Get me in quickly. ”
Who knows, the place where the man in black stabbed happened to be the weakest place for Xiahou Bing.
Xiahou Bing and Gu Ruoxi returned to the room, and the dark guard suddenly found that their medicine didn't seem to be prepared well, and immediately looked at Gu Ruoxi in a bit of a panic.
"Miss Gu, our medicine is not enough ......"
"Bastard, Ah Bing, shall we rush back overnight?" Gu Ruoxi has no way now, only this way.
