Song Xiu'er is a weak woman who is powerless, she is trembling with fear, but she refuses to take a step back, throwing stones is neither accurate nor weak, even if she is beaten, she will not be injured.

So the three assassins ignored her and worked together to deal with Yao Miaoyi and Ah Fu.

Stamp!

With a muffled sound, Song Xiu'er's blind cat smashed the dead mouse, and the stone actually hit the back of the assassin's head once! This smashed out the fire, and the assassin turned his head sharply and slashed at Song Xiu'er with his backhand, his expression of disgust and contempt was like swatting a fly to death.

When the snowy blade attacked, Song Xiu'er was completely stunned, her whole body seemed to be drained by the sword light, and she was frozen in place like ice and snow, like a snowman, and she even forgot to dodge.

"Xiu'er dodge!" Ah Fu and Yao Miaoyi shouted at the same time.

Clang!

A black shadow rushed over, drew his sword and caught the knife hard, it was Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang and the assassin fought, the shape shì reversed, this time it was one-on-one, the assassin saw that these three people were not easy to mess with, so the governor was defeated, glanced at each other, and began to put away the knife and escape.

Mao Xiang whistled, and a group of secret guards dressed as peddlers' pawns had arrived and surrounded the Assassins.

Mao Xiang made a gesture of staying alive and pulled the stiff Song Xiu'er away from the battle group, but Xiu'er's legs were weak and she couldn't walk at all, so Mao Xiang picked her up and temporarily placed the three of them in the Human Skin Palace.

Yao Miaoyi saw that Ah Fu's injuries were stable, so she stood up and said: "These people should be coming at me, but I didn't expect that you are not ordinary pilgrims who hide when you see something, I will go out with Ah Mao to have a look." ”

Ah Mao said: "Don't worry, Doctor Yao, they can't escape the net." ”

Yao Miaoyi said coldly: "I'm not worried that they will escape, I'm just afraid that they will commit suicide by taking poison and not find the real culprit behind the scenes." I want them all to live. ”

With intuition, Yao Miaoyi felt that these people should have something to do with the enemy who killed her mother back then, so it seems that things are not as simple as Zhou Kui said!

The remaining three assassins were chased and intercepted by the guards of the Commander's Mansion, one died, one committed suicide, and the other was unloaded by Mao Xiang before biting the poison sac, and finally left alive.

At this time, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division had already imposed martial law on the City God Temple, and all the pilgrims, Taoist priests and hawkers were driven away, and Song Xiuer drank a cup of hot tea.

Ah Fu had already passed out, and a group of imperial doctors surrounded him for debridement treatment, and one of the old doctors said: "It's a five-step snake venom, fortunately Dr. Yao gave him detoxification in time, otherwise he would have been out of luck at this time." ”

The five-step snake got its name from this, because its snake venom attacks very quickly, and it is poisonous when it walks five steps, which is really poisonous.

Yao Miaoyi arched her hand at the imperial doctors, "Thank you for your help." ”

The mysterious noble prince looked at Yao Miaoyi curiously and asked, "Who wants to kill you?" ”

Yao Miaoyi shook her head, and didn't pay attention to your son, thinking to herself, why didn't she assassinate that imposter before? What made the mastermind behind it decide to be cruel to me now?

"You don't know me, but I've heard of you often." But the noble prince said as if he was familiar with it: "My name is Libazi, I am from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and I am now in Jinling...... Ahem, traveling as a guest, sometimes going to the main hall to study, I heard that you are Zhu Shouqian's cousin? Sure enough, it looks like it. ”

Yao Miaoyi's thoughts were suddenly forcibly interrupted by this noble son, what? Bought the eight thorns? Beiyuan people? Travel? Mao Xiang is respectful to him?

Yao Miaoyi pieced together all kinds of clues, and immediately guessed the identity of this noble son, and muttered: "You are the son of Emperor Xuanguang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and you were captured by Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao-"

"Ahem, yes, I was invited by Cao Guogong to travel to Jinling." Gui Gongzi said lightly: "My name is too long for you Ming people, it's hard to remember, you can call me, um......"

The noble prince glanced at Mao Xiang, just now these three people called him Ah Mao, so ...... The noble prince said, "You just call me a thorn." ”

In the autumn of this year, Zhang Yu, a senior military attache of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, surrendered in Jiming Mountain, revealing the news that the Northern Yuan Emperor was about to die, and Emperor Hongwu immediately ordered the general Li Wenzhong to go on a northern expedition.

On the way, some of Emperor Xuanguang's concubines and his only son bought Liba Thorn were captured by Li Wenzhong and taken to Jinling as hostages. Zhu Yuanzhang treated him well and gave him the treatment of the king of the county. It is said that the second prince Zhu Fan was rude to the eight thorns he bought, and Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and chased Zhu Fan with a whip all over the house, and beat his own son for three days and couldn't get out of bed.

Since then, no one dares to be rude to the eight thorns that he bought.

Although he was a descendant of the Northern Yuan Golden Family, his own grandmother, Empress Dowager Qi, and his biological mother, Empress Quan, were all beauties from Goryeo to the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty.

The beautiful bloodline of the mother clan is too strong, so it is not surprising that the eight thorns bought are beautiful. Yao Miaoyi secretly thought that Zhu Di and Zhu Hu's biological mother was a Goryeo concubine, and the mother of the Liba Thorn she bought was Queen Quan, and they all happened to have the surname Quan......

As a captive, the eight thorns he bought were able to maintain a calm and water-like mentality, neither humble nor arrogant, and calmly said that he was here to "travel to the south".

Maintaining the dignity of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he is mired in the quagmire, and he is still in the mood to look at the stars, which shows that he is also a person with a city.

Of course, Yao Miaoyi didn't dare to really call him "A Thorn", but just bowed and said: "It turned out to be the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Emperor Xuanguang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has ascended the throne, but of course Emperor Hongwu will not recognize him as the emperor, so the official still calls him the crown prince, and the eight thorns he bought are the only son of Emperor Xuanguang.

The eight thorns I bought actually returned the salute and said: "I'm just an idle person, Miss Yao is proficient in medical skills and has excellent strategies, I admire you very much, and it is fate to meet today." In the future, when I go to Baihetang, I can have a cup of tea to entertain, right? ”

This Northern Yuan prince is still thick-skinned, and he regarded himself as a friend when he first met. The status quo is already very complicated, plus a Beiyuan person, what if someone frames him for communicating with foreign countries? It's better to have more than one thing, so let's push it.

Yao Miaoyi was thinking about how to phrase it, when the sound of a neat march came from outside. A secret guard dressed as a peddler ran and said, "Mao Qianhu, Wei Guogong, King Yan, King Zhou, King Jingjiang, and Yao Jitong, the righteous son of Zen Master Daoyan, are all here. ”

After the king ceremony, Zhu Di was called the King of Yan, his younger brother Zhu Hu was the King of Zhou, and the King of Jingjiang was Yao Miaoyi's eldest cousin Zhu Shouqian.

Mao Xiang hurriedly led people to greet the big driver outside the hall, and the eight thorns he bought also followed.

Song Xiu'er tugged at the corner of Yao Miaoyi's clothes and asked, "Why do they call Ah Mao Mao Qianhu?" ”

Yao Miaoyi looked at Song Xiu'er, who was shocked, and knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, and said, "Because he is the Lord of Qianhu." Also, Zhu Wulang will come in later, but everyone calls him King Zhou. ”

Song Xiu'er stood there for a moment, and then pinched the back of her hand, it hurt, not a dream.

"Zhu Wulang is the prince?" Song Xiu'er remembered that she was sneering at him all day long, all kinds of unaccustomed to it, wearing small shoes, and complaining about the past, and muttered: "It's over, today is my death." ”

After that, he actually fainted with fright.

Yao Miaoyi said secretly, fortunately, I fainted, or I would have known later that I might be the eldest lady of the Wei State Mansion, and I don't know what kind of gaffe there is.

A group of people walked into the human skin hall, and the human skin filled with straw was hung all over the hall, like a red lotus hell, but there were so many big people, and the scene was very weird.

Zhou Wang Zhu Hu was still a doctor's heart, and when he came in, he saw that Yao Miaoyi was indeed fine, so he went straight to Ah Fu, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to check his condition.

Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, looked Yao Miaoyi up and down, and said, "This group of assassins is here for you, it must be the same people who assassinated your mother back then, Baihetang is too dangerous, you go back to live with me." ”

Yao Miaoyi refused, "This group of people is extremely vicious, if they can't hit a blow, they must have a backup move, I can be a bait to lure the snake out of the hole." "I secretly thought that if I entered the Wei State Mansion, wouldn't I have to run aground again to assassinate Guo Yangtian and rescue Elder Bright? What's more, you can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf!

"No way!" Zhu Di and Yao Jitong actually said in unison. The two glanced at each other, and Yao Jitong said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be stubborn, your life is at stake, and everything else can be done slowly." ”

This sentence has a pun meaning, asking Yao Miaoyi not to be impulsive.

Zhu Di said: "Baihetang is just a small dwelling, the defense is weak, if you go back, the assassins will come one after another, it will definitely affect Yao Jitong and Daoyan Zen Master, as well as everyone in the shop." ”

Zhu Di said to Xu Da: "Wei Guogong, now Yao Miaoyi's identity is unknown, although she is in a hurry to follow the power, but after all, it is not right to return to your mansion, and it is not good. If you place her in the palace of Jiming Mountain, a net has already been laid there, which can not only protect Yao Miaoyi's safety, but also trap thorns

Ke, find the real murderer to find out the real murderer who killed Mrs. Xu back then. ”

Zhu Di's arrangement is considered comprehensive, Yao Jitong and Xu Da have no objections, especially when Yao Miaoyi heard about the Jiming Mountain Palace, she secretly thought that the bright elder fox trace would be locked up in the Jiming Mountain Heavenly Prison, and when the time came, she would act when the opportunity came.

From this, an agreement was reached, and Yao Miaoyi immediately went to the Jiming Mountain Palace under heavy guards. Along the way, the guards of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Xu Da of Wei and others followed, and even the eight thorns bought by the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also joined in the excitement and followed

The eight thorns I bought seemed to be very familiar with Zhu Shouqian, the king of Jingjiang, he and Zhu Shouqian both rode horses, and the two walked side by side, and their appearance was extremely handsome, which was really eye-catching.

The eight thorns who bought it said: "I heard that you have always refused to recognize this cousin, why did you put down a qiē as soon as you heard that an assassin was going to kill her, and hurriedly followed King Yan and them to the Human Skin Palace?" is so concerned about her safety, do you want to recognize her? ”

Zhu Shouqian said lightly: "I still think she is suspicious and an impostor, and I didn't worry about her this time, but I just wanted to find out the murderer who assassinated my aunt back then." ”

"In my humble opinion, the culprit behind it must think that Miss Yao is Xu Feng, who disappeared back then, so he took the risk of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and Miss Yao is your cousin." ”

A trace of anger flashed in Zhu Shouqian's eyes, and he said: "This is not necessarily, have you heard that the thief shouts to catch the thief?" It may also be that Miss Yao hired someone to kill herself to prove that she is Xu Feng. ”

The eight thorns he bought seemed to be surprised, and said in surprise: "No, the arrows are all extracted with five-step snake venom, under the random arrows, who can guarantee that they are fine?" ”

Zhu Shouqian's lips pursed into a line, "She carries the antidote medicine with her, at most she suffers a little bit of flesh and skin, so she will not die, and after a while, she will enjoy wealth forever, why not?" ”

The eight thorns who bought it shook his head and said, "At that time, she still had two relatives by her side, didn't she care about their lives and deaths?" I don't think she's that kind of person. ”

Zhu Shouqian said: "It's better to die, borrow a knife to kill." When she is dead, there will be no one to uncover her secrets. ”

In fact, Zhu Shouqian deliberately found fault and raised questions, because he also knew that it was precisely because of the real suspicion that Yao Miaoyi was Xu Feng behind him, so he attracted trouble and murderous intentions.

So as he expected, Yao Miaoyi stayed away from the royal family and the Duke of Wei, and continued to be an ordinary medical woman, so as to avoid disasters. He was already trapped in the palace and could not be free, and he wanted his cousin to live an easier and happier life.

The eight thorns who bought it said: "Don't always think too badly of people, if it's really your cousin, won't you regret it?" ”

"I was bitten by a snake and had to be cautious." Zhu Shouqian leaned into his ear and whispered: "Ah Ting, you said that I was suspicious, so do you think Cao Guogong is a good person?" ”

Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guo, was the general who captured the Li Eight Thorns he bought and brought them to Jinling. It is said that revealing people does not expose shortcomings, Zhu Shouqian's words are directly poking at the heart of the eight thorns in the bought.

"You-" The eight thorns he bought instantly changed color, but he immediately regained his smile, as if he was just listening to a joke just now, and whispered: "Although I don't know who the murderer of your aunt and cousin was, but I know who your parents died in, how about I cooperate with you and take what you need?" ”

Everyone knows that Zhu Shouqian's father Zhu Wen died of rebellion against the ban, and his mother died of depression, and he died indirectly at the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Shouqian's hand holding the reins tightened, then let go, and said expressionlessly: "Cooperate with me?" Wishful thinking, you're just a proton, and it's good to survive. ”

The eight thorns he bought smiled and whispered: "Don't worry, I am the only son of my father, and I am still the son-in-law." Emperor Hongwu will not kill me, he hopes that I will live well and be a useful chess piece in the future, anyone can die, but I can't die. This Jinling City is not monolithic, our people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty have already infiltrated it, if you have any difficulties in the future, I will definitely help. ”

Zhu Shouqian said coldly: "You're not afraid that I will sue the emperor?" ”

The eight thorns that I bought laughed and said: "You and I cherish each other, have the same heart, are in a similar situation, boil beans and burn beans, why are you in a hurry to fry each other!" ”
