Chapter 112: Assassins
In order to take care of Xi Yunzhi, Qi Zhao ordered to go slowly, no matter how Xi Yunzhi asked to be faster, he didn't agree.
Therefore, in just a short distance from outside Youzhou to Pingzhou, they walked for a day to arrive.
Although there is also Qi Zhao's palace in Pingzhou City, Qi Zhao felt that at this critical moment, it was safer for them to keep a low profile, so they chose the largest inn in Pingzhou City, asked for seven or eight upper rooms, and prepared to let Xi Yunzhi rest in the inn for a good night, and set off again tomorrow morning.
At night, Qi Zhao hugged Xiao An and refused to leave in Xi Yunzhi's room, Xi Yunzhi was very helpless, and Bu Qin had to take out the chessboard to relieve his boredom with this brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, I'm not as good as you in the art of war." Qi Zhao quickly took the sunspot box: "Seriously, if you hadn't become a waste, I really wouldn't dare to sit with you like this." ”
Qi Zhao spoke with confidence, regardless of whether the words respected Bu Qin or not, only after saying that he knew that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly tried to redeem it:
"Oh, no, I mean, your previous military exploits are too terrible for our Qi country, if you are still the same as before, I don't dare to be so close to you."
Bu Qin looked at him, smiled, and was restrained: "Then what will you do to me?" ”
While speaking, he left two sons, and Qi Zhao also let go of his sons, and replied honestly: "Of course I am trying to kill you." Glancing at Xi Yunzhi, who was sitting on the bed and asking Xiao An to read and write, Qi Zhao mysteriously approached Bu Qin and said, "Of course, I killed you behind my sister's back." Then find her a better man than you. ”
Bu Qin raised his eyebrows, quietly blocked Qi Zhao's way of life, hooked his lips and said:
"You can kill me, but if you want your sister to remarry, I'm afraid it's not so easy."
Qi Zhao felt unconvinced when he heard this: "Hey, brother-in-law, I didn't say you, and you think too highly of yourself, can you conclude that after you die, my sister will be widowed for you and not remarry?" I don't believe it anyway. ”
Bu Qin glanced at Xi Yunzhi, and his words were very determined: "She won't be widowed, I'm going to die, she will never live alone." ”
Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Bu Qin to say this meaning, although he recognized this possibility quite in his mind, but on his lips, he didn't want to admit it like this, and still said stiffly:
"Not necessarily. I have a man named Gu Ran, who mentioned it to me more than once, saying that as long as you die, you will come to take over my sister, although Gu Ran is a little rougher, but he is also a man and a good man. ”
Bu Qin raised his eyes and looked at him, and said coldly: "You promised him?" ”
Qi Zhao was puzzled: "What did you promise?" ”
"After I die, marry your sister to him?" Bu Qin looked at the overall situation and had already formulated a path to victory, so he decided to discuss this matter with his brother-in-law.
Qi Zhao seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on him, so he nodded matter-of-fact and said, "Agreed." Anyway, that's after you die, and it's not sorry for you. ”
Bu Qin lowered his gaze and did not speak, but Qi Zhao became more and more energetic:
"Besides, I think people Gu Ran is still very moral, you see that your martial arts have been abolished, if he really wants to snatch my sister back, you can't stop him, right? But he didn't do anything to you, which means that he still respects you very much and is a fair and honest man. I was relieved to put my sister in his hands. ”
"......" Bu Qin took a deep breath, dropped the last word, and defeated Qi Zhao, and said quietly:
"Then you put your sister in my hands, so you won't be at ease?"
Qi Zhao lay on the chessboard, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe that he had been completely killed in just a dozen rounds, and while he was in disbelief, he didn't forget to answer Bu Qin's question:
"Not assured. You are a man without martial arts, and in turn you want her to take care of you, how can I rest assured? ”
“……”
Bu Qin Dan smiled silently, stood up from the chessboard, and said to Qi Zhao pointedly:
"Whether you don't feel at ease or not, you should go back, remember not to sleep too hard, and it's best to keep your guards outside the door."
Qi Zhao wanted to say something more, but he was pushed by Bu Tan by the back and forced out.
Xi Yunzhi heard Qi Zhao's angry jumping voice outside, and couldn't help asking:
"What's wrong with him?"
Bu Qin also climbed onto the bed of their mother and son, shook his head and said, "If you lose a game of chess, your brother-in-law is unhappy." ”
When Xi Yunzhi heard this, he only felt that this younger brother was too childish, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
Bu Qin took the book in Xi Yunzhi's hand, pointed to a few words in it and asked Xiao An, Xiao An answered all of them correctly, and refused to get up in his father's arms.
Bu Tan was helpless to be entangled by him, Xi Yunzhi wanted to take Xiao An, but was stopped by Bu Tan: "You are heavy now, don't give this kid a clue where to go." ”
Xi Yunzhi smiled: "It's only been a few months, and my stomach hasn't been fighting, what will it be?" ”
Xiao An also knew that his mother was pregnant with a baby in her womb, so she turned down from Bu Tan's body in a hurry, knelt down and crawled to Xi Yunzhi, looked at her flat lower abdomen and said:
"Xiao An wants a sister."
Xi Yunzhi touched his little face and said with a smile: "As long as my sister?" So what would you do if your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you? ”
Xiao An stared innocently, and said with a firm expression:
"Give him to his uncle to raise."
Xi Yunzhi and Bu Qin both laughed, this Qi Zhao actually put all his thoughts on Xiao An.
Bu Qin insisted on letting Xi Yunzhi and Xiao An sleep in the inner bed, Xi Yunzhi asked him why, he didn't say anything, and let them go to bed earlier.
The inn gradually quieted down from the hustle and bustle of the day, and in the dead of night, the needles could be heard.
A few faint footsteps came from the rooftop, and Bu Tan opened his eyes in the darkness and listened quietly.
The footsteps were investigating one by one on the roof, and when they found their east room, the footsteps stopped, and Bu Qin knew, which meant that the target these people were looking for was the person who lived on their east side - Qi Zhao.
What he had expected finally came.
Yan Dong went out of the city to pursue them, in order to avenge his personal revenge, Qi Rui really wanted to kill Qi Zhao, she took advantage of this incident to lure Qi Zhao out of the capital, in order to make Qi Zhao never return to the capital.
Turning over from the bed, Bu Tan calmly put on his clothes, and walked to the door, only to see Han Feng and Zhao Yi bent down and wanted to knock on the door, Bu Qin made a silent gesture to them, and then walked out of the door.
Zhao Yi hurriedly came up and said, "Master, there is someone up there." ”
Bu Qin nodded: "I know, their target is Qi Zhao, you protect Madame, I'll take a look." ”
Han Feng and the others naturally knew that Bu Tan's kung fu had won a great victory in the past, and they had nothing to worry about, so they took Bu Tan's order and stood by the door.
After a short while, he hid himself in the darkness, like a ghost.
***
Qi Zhao hadn't been asleep in the first place, and his mind was always thinking about what Bu Qin had told him at night, when suddenly the tip of his nose smelled a very suspicious fragrance of flowers, Qi Zhao was vigilant and shouted:
"What people! Someone's coming! ”
With Qi Zhao's exclamation, the people in his room were suddenly kicked away by a group of black-clothed people, Qi Zhao lifted the quilt from the bed, felt out a long sword that he habitually hid under the pillow, and started a fight with the masked black-clothed people.
However, I don't know if the suspicious flower fragrance reacted before, Qi Zhao only felt that the swaying in front of him was terrible, and if he was not careful, he was cut by a knife on his arm, and the blood did not stop. Finally, I fainted and fell to the ground.
The masked man in black made a pause gesture, and the man at the head said:
"Carry it out, don't kill people in the inn."
They just wanted to kill the three princes secretly, and they didn't want to do it in a crowded place like the inn, so they wanted to carry Qi Zhao, who was in the middle of the incense, out to solve it.
But before they could touch Qi Zhao, who had fallen to the ground, they were subdued by a figure that shot like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, all the weapons in their hands were in each other's hands.
More than a dozen black-clothed people looked at each other, looking at the man who came out of the darkness, the leader seemed to know him, his eyes widened, and before he could speak, he was cut by Bu Qin Fei.
I saw Bu Tan's hand rise and fall, and solve all the people in black, from front to back, it was only a blink of an eye, and the room of the inn was full of people.
Bu Qin carried Qi Zhao on his shoulders and let Zhao Yi and Han Feng carry him to the car, and then Bu Qin returned to the room and gently called Xi Yunzhi and Xiao An up.
A group of people ran out of the inn overnight.
***
When Qi Zhao woke up again the next day, he found himself lying in Xi Yunzhi's carriage with bandages wrapped around his arms, and Xiao An was lying beside him, holding his chin to look at him.
He patted his forehead: "Why am I here?" ”
Xi Yunzhi was about to speak, but saw Qi Zhao as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, weren't we at the inn yesterday?" At night, after everyone had gone to sleep, I met the Assassins, who were so vile and used incense on me......"
Xi Yunzhi raised his eyebrows: "And then?" Do you remember what happened then? ”
Qi Zhao tried to think about it in his mind, and then decided to shake his head: "I don't remember." Did the guards rush in and save me, and then escape from the inn overnight, didn't they? ”
Bu Qin was sitting on the side reading a book, and when he heard Qi Zhao say this, he followed his words, nodded, and said:
"Yes, you were unconscious when the guards rushed in. When they had slain all the enemies, they woke us up and ran out of the inn. ”
Qi Zhao slapped his thigh, but he touched his wound: "I usually say that these guards are useless, and I must reward them more when I go back this time to be worthy of their life-saving grace." ”
“……”
Xi Yunzhi felt very helpless about this younger brother's hindsight, and seeing him talking to himself alone, she felt funny, stood up, and poured him a glass of water.
After Qi Zhao took a sip of water, he suddenly said:
"Those assassins must have been arranged by Qi Rui." Glancing at Bu Qin, Qi Zhao asked again: "Brother-in-law, did you guess it a long time ago, so you asked me to be careful at night." ”
It was because of Bu Tan's words that he did not fall asleep at night and escaped.
Bu Qin shrugged noncommittally: "That woman has always been very good at seizing the moment. It's rare that you, a henchman, have left the capital, how can she not do something to you? ”
Qi Zhao's face became solemn: "Oh no, she did it to me, that means that she plans to make a desperate move and do it to her father......"
Bu Qin glanced at him and said, "If you want to go back, you can't be now." At the very least, you have to go to Yongzhou, and as a prince, you will take over the garrison army in Yongzhou, and then you can rush back to the capital to rescue the driver. ”
Qi Zhao also knew what Bu Qin meant, he came out alone, with a total of only a dozen guards around him, if he really wanted to overcome all difficulties and return to the capital to rescue the emperor, then he must first obtain a certain amount of troops to help.
Therefore, what Bu Qin said is not unreasonable.
Only then did Qi Zhao endure the worries in his heart and rushed to Yongzhou with the brigade.
