Chapter 126: Assassination (I)

The moment Gongsun Fang vomited blood, she had a deeper level of unwillingness in her heart: she was actually forced by this businessman's daughter to become a laughing stock in the mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, what else can she do now? Ling Xiao is the only one of her subordinates who is clever and capable, and now she is about to be crippled again. The maid who was appreciated and entrusted by her father now seems to be of the same mind as Mrs. Rong, and whether it is the maid brought by Mrs. Rong herself or the maid in the prince's mansion, they are all human spirits, and they are obedient to that girl. Her Gongsun Fang can be so popular, and she is completely powerless.

Gongsun Fang's cheeks were crossed with unwilling tears, and after she vomited the blood, her eyes turned black and she fainted to the ground. The surrounding maids still ran over in a panic and carried her back to her bedroom, and went to find Lang Zhong outside the house. Qili also stopped and ordered her subordinates to drag Ling Xiao, Nan Yun and other maids back.

After Dong Xiaoyou ordered someone to invite Langzhong, she pursed her mouth, she was really full of ambition today: through today, the people in the mansion are afraid that they all understand: she and Gongsun Fang, who is the one who can call the shots in this general's mansion. Although Dong Xiaoyou didn't plan to make Gongsun Fang angry to death, he was still very happy to be able to make her so angry that he vomited blood.

She set her eyes on the group of maids who had come to serve Gongsun Fang: "As you can see, Aunt Gongsun's body is very delicate. In the future, you can serve your aunt with more snacks, otherwise, you will be careful about your net worth and life! She looked at the maids who were all shaking, and her face was full of fear, so she slowed down her tone again, "However, if my aunt is not feeling good in her body, or when she is not in a good mood, you can tell Mrs. Ben as soon as possible, and Mrs. Ben will naturally be rewarded." You can understand that it is the one who speaks is not guilty, and the one who hears is full of precepts. Mrs. Ben is soft-hearted, so as long as you can be cautious and faithful, Mrs. Ben will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. ”

After Dong Xiaoyou said this, the maids all knelt on the ground and saluted her uprightly. Dong Xiaoyou pursed her lips and chuckled and waved her hand, signaling for them to retreat. Dong Xiaoyou's words just now, that is a warning to these newcomers: through Qili punishing Nan Yun and others just now, these subordinates already know that the person who really speaks in the mansion is Mrs. Rong, and Aunt Gongsun can only be angry to the point of vomiting blood even if she has the support of her mother's family, so they naturally have to understand which Buddha they should respect when they enter the General's Mansion.

And in Dong Xiaoyou's words, there is even an obvious inducement that they must not only act honestly in the future, but also monitor Gongsun Fang at all times, and report to her whenever there is any trouble. Dong Xiaoyou's purpose is to put Gongsun Fang under "house arrest", so that she will never think about doing poisoning to others and herself like last time.

**********

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed. Now it is the first month, and the custom of Youzhou is to go out of the city to worship the sky in the first month, and now Liu Yi, the king of Luling, is still fighting on the front line with his troops, so naturally he needs to sacrifice to the sky to pray for him and victory. The General's Mansion now counts all the slaves and has nearly a thousand people, and this time out of the mansion, only a part of the subordinates are left to take care of it. Most of the rest of the men and the guards were going out of the city.

Since the beginning of the first month, the general's mansion has been busy. But fortunately, these things are now scattered and taken care of by Ah Chu, Qili, and Bailing, and Dong Xiaoyou is not very tired.

On the day of leaving the house, the people in the house woke up from the couch. After a period of busyness, at the hour of the hour, the convoy of hundreds of people from the General's Mansion set off in a mighty manner.

Dong Xiaoyou sat in the carriage and couldn't help but look out through the window, although she was now Mrs. Rong, who was high in the General's Mansion on weekdays. But in fact, this Xu Rong's age is only sixteen years old after the New Year, if it is placed in the 21st century, it is still the age of playfulness. Dong Xiaoyou had Biluo and Ye'er by her side in the mansion, although she didn't feel too bored, but she was still very happy to be able to leave the mansion with such a momentum.

After the procession leaves Liaoyang City, it has to pass through a narrow mountain loop, and after passing through the mountain loop, it is the altar used to worship the heavens. Because Dong Xiaoyou specially chose a relatively late time, the major families in Youzhou had already completed their sacrifices to the sky a few days ago, so they almost didn't encounter other teams along the way. This also saved everyone a lot of trouble: because this mountain set is too narrow, if there are more groups to worship the heavens, it will cause disputes. Although the major scholar clans in Youzhou will give face to the prince, at the moment, the prince hopes to be able to get along with these scholars. Therefore, Dong Xiaoyou naturally needs to try not to provoke any right and wrong when the prince is away. This is the duty that a virtuous wife should fulfill.

However, Dong Xiaoyou and the others didn't know at all: At this time, there were several people in black lurking in the mountain set.

"See, that's the convoy of the Luling Palace." A hoarse voice rang out.

"There are a lot of people here, and it seems that our mission today is to die for a lifetime." The other man in black said.

One of the particularly thin men looked straight at the team in the mountain loop: "How about the tight guards?" In my eyes, it's just a pile of dry bones in a mound. His eyes were as sharp as the tip of a knife, and his tone was cold and awe-inspiring.

"It is worthy of being the same disciple of Wang Yue, the first hero in the world, and he is really courageous." One exclaimed.

When the thin man heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he snorted softly from his nose, but then his face was as calm as water. He said to himself: I just want to prove that I am better than my brother, so I took on the task of this assassin. One day, he will be more famous than his senior brother Wang Yue, and he will prove that he is better. He wanted no more people to say that he deliberately added a sentence "Wang Yue's junior brother". Today, he is bound to win!

When the team of the General's Mansion reached the middle of the mountain loop, the black-clothed men on both sides were in trouble: they numbered less than a hundred, scattered on both sides of the mountain loop, but each of them had a light short crossbow in their hands! In just an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows shot towards the ranks of the General's Mansion in the mountain loop.

Biluo, Ye'er, Yi'er and Dong Xiaoyou were sitting in a carriage, and they were still chatting about the previous things about going out of the Xu family to worship their ancestors. Biluo's face suddenly changed, and she shouted loudly: "Madam, danger! Immediately, he threw Dong Xiaoyou into the carriage with him, and at the same time pushed Ye'er and Yi'er down from their seats. I saw a few "whoosh" sounds, and the place where they were sitting was pierced by several crossbow arrows.

"There are assassins!!" The guards outside fell dozens of people in the first rain of arrows. But fortunately, these guards are also battle-hardened.

"Shield!" As soon as the general in charge of the guards gave an order, the guards gathered with shields, especially the carriage of Dong Xiaoyou and others surrounded solidly. When the second rain of arrows fell, only a few of the fallen guards did not have time to hide under their shields.

The men in black were also obviously well-trained killers, and after firing the third rain of arrows, they did not hesitate to destroy the short crossbow in their hands, and at the same time drew the weapons at their waists and rushed down the valley.

"Meet the enemy!" Although the men in black are all skilled masters, the guards in the Luling Palace's palace are not idle. At the moment when the rain of arrows ended, they lined up to face the battle, and the two sides fought each other in short combat.

Dong Xiaoyou's pale face was huddled in the carriage at the moment, and she didn't even dare to look outside, but the sound of fighting from outside kept making her tremble. Her mind was full of thoughts: In the current situation, she must have met an assassin, right? No, no, can an average Assassin have such a strong voice? Just now, there were three waves of arrow rain in a row, could it be that they encountered the troops of the Xianbei people? What should I do, there are only hundreds of guards here, can her safety be guaranteed?

Biluo didn't dare to leave Dong Xiaoyou half a step at this moment, although from the sound of fighting outside, the two sides were evenly matched, if they went out to help with Biluo's martial arts, they would definitely be able to play a role. It's just that now the two sides are in a scuffle, and if someone takes advantage of the chaos to kill in the carriage, the lady will be in danger. Biluo did not dare to put Mrs. Rong's life at risk. So she could only secretly hope that the guards outside would be able to deal with the enemy.

Dong Xiaoyou's lips were a little blue with fear: "What should I do, Biluo?" Could it be that we have met the Xianbei people? ”

Biluo shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the Xianbei people should use longbows, and what was shot at us just now was a crossbow arrow; Moreover, the Xianbei people have always had to shoot all the arrows they carried before they started hand-to-hand combat. Judging from the sound of fighting outside, these people are not the combat style of Xianbei people at all. ”

"So, who the hell is it? Could it be an assassin? Dong Xiaoyou suddenly remembered that when he held a banquet in the General's Mansion, he had also encountered an assassin once, could he have met an assassin again?

Biluo nervously examined the environment around the carriage through the window: "It seems that it should be assassins, these people are agile, and they are all dressed in black, most of them are assassins." ”

Dong Xiaoyou listened, and felt a little contemptuous in his heart: I really overestimated the IQ of these assassins, of course I should sneak into the mansion to assassinate and kill people, now is the day to go out of the city to worship the sky, since I want to go out of the city, the people in the general's mansion will definitely make more preparations for guarding. For example, shields and long weapons are usually not used in the house, but they are always carried when they leave the house. Acting while the guards were at their most well-defended, these assassins were too stupid, right?

Biluo seemed to understand Dong Xiaoyou's contemptuous look, and she said worriedly: "These assassins are quite well planned, although it is generally common to sneak into the mansion to assassinate, but most of the maids in our general's mansion are skilled in martial arts. So it's better to snipe us in such a vantage point. It's just that...... Although the other party said that the attack was very fierce, he did not prepare too many crossbow arrows......" Biluo's expression became more and more nervous, "The slave is just worried that they will have other plans!" ”
