Chapter 60: Assassination

Su Meng's illness this time was fine, but he suffered from the wind and cold, and he drank medicine to recuperate for two days.

When she woke up, Xia Xun and Su Yuan had a secret conversation with Su Meng, of course, they told Su Yuan the truth, and they half-truthed and half-truthed about Xia Xun.

Gui Gui also chased after Su Meng to ask questions, but was sent away by Su Meng's words, she really didn't need to know too much.

On the fourth day of staying at the village inn, the heavy snow had already stopped, leaving only the silver everywhere, waiting for the winter to rise and slowly melt.

"They have been staying in place for three days, and their garrison has long been relaxed, if they do not strike tonight, they will definitely succeed in assassination." Cheng Yuan came to Xia Xun's room and discussed.

Xia Xun quietly tapped a few small tables with his fingers, and only said after a while: "Originally, I wanted to wait for them to make a move on the road, after all, the road is sparsely populated, and if you intercept them, you can also disguise yourself as bandits." But if you rush into the inn to assassinate you, it is easy to hurt the innocent, not to mention, and it is easy for the government to find out the clues. ”

Cheng Yuan lowered his head, a sneer pulled out at the corner of his mouth, and said, "We have been waiting here for three days under the orders of our sons, do we have to do it when they return to Beijing?" ”

Xia Xun was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

These few times I came to ask for his opinion on more than one occasion, but he was rejected for various reasons.

He feels a little untenable now, and if he opposes it again, I am afraid that they will act on their own, and when the time comes, they will become passive, and it will not end well.

"Alright then, let's do it tonight! Let's get everyone together, we need to deploy it in detail. Xia Xun picked up the teacup on the small table and drank it all.

Since you can't stop it, let's do it! I just hope that Meng Meng can listen to him and be ready.

Not long after Xia Xun and the others' secret talks, Su Yuan received the news.

These days, his requirements for the guards are "loose on the outside and tight on the inside", and he also sent people to quietly go to the town that Xia Xun said to monitor the movements of the group of assassins.

For Xia Xun, although he doesn't believe it very much, he will also have five points of trust. He had seen Xia Xun, who was talented and kind-looking, so he did this. Moreover, the people who monitored them had already reported, proving that what Xia Xun said was true.

"Your Highness, they are ready to act tonight." A dark shadow whispered back at Su Yuan's door.

"Got it." Su Yuan replied.

Qing Yan was in Su Yuan's room at this time, and the two were discussing the matter of returning to Beijing tomorrow, and when they heard the news, Xia Xun said: "Do it at the inn, they are really bold!" But fortunately, we have been preparing for three days, and when they come, we will definitely let them not return. ”

"Then let's prepare, and also tell my little sister to let her get ready." Su Yuan said that, and Qing Yan got up and left.

Night came later than usual, and of course, it was just the feeling of everyone.

The moon, which looked like a silver plate, seemed to have been bitten off by the tengu at this time, and only the crooked crescent moon remained, which was not very bright, but it was enough to illuminate the path in the fields.

The group ran on the path, leaving a string of rustling sounds, making this vast field full of mystery.

Su Meng was in her room, holding a snowball along the hair, watching Gui Gui embroider under the lamp, everything was so comfortable and beautiful.

But her heart couldn't calm down for a long time, Xia Xun was about to bring someone here, and she just hoped that he wouldn't be injured by mistake.

She is very relieved about the arrangement of the royal brother.

The long sword was leaning on her side, and Snowball had already sharpened her claws to prepare for a big battle, but Gui Gui was kept in the dark, otherwise how could she still be in the mood to embroider here?

"Miss, you have to hurry tomorrow, can you rest early?" Gui Gui looked at the sky and said with a smile.

"No, there's a guest coming in a moment, so let's talk about it for a while." Su Meng rubbed Snowball's paws and didn't care.

Gui Gui's eyes lit up, put down the embroidery work in his hand, ran to Su Meng's side with his skirt and bent over and asked, "Miss, who is coming over at that moment?" It's so late, isn't it Qingyan's son? ”

Su Meng glared at Gui Gui shyly, this girl knows too much!

Raising his head suddenly, Su Meng heard the sound of fighting outside, especially the sound of swords and swords, it was here after all!

Su Meng stuffed the snowball to Gui Gui, picked up the long sword beside him, and said to Gui Gui: "You stay in the room and don't go out, take care of the snowball, remember!" ”

Gui Gui caught the dead fat snowball, and just about to ask something, he saw Su Meng make a silent gesture, pulled Gui Gui to the bed, and whispered, "Hide in." ”

Gui Gui climbed in with her hands and feet, holding the snowball tightly in her arms, although she didn't know what was happening, but seeing that the young lady was so nervous, she closed her mouth and waited for a pair of big eyes to look around.

Su Meng sat on the edge of the bed, if someone dared to break in, her sword was not vegetarian!

It was indeed lively outside the door, but the guests in the inn and the little two in the store were all properly placed and did not appear here, so they could let go of their hands and feet.

There were a number of mechanisms set up throughout the inn, all of which were simple and easy, one was short of time, and the other was that they didn't stay here for long.

Those assassins would have easily bypassed these mechanisms if they had seen them on a regular basis, but this time it was a sneak attack, and the sky was dark, so they accidentally landed.

Either he was shot through the chest by an arrow, or he was injured by a big stone, and even worse, because he believed that he was better at light work, he planned to run up to the beam of the house, and was entangled by several ropes.

These wounded but not dead people fought with Su Yuan's guards with their swords, but how could they compare with those who were waiting for the rabbit when they were seriously injured? After a while, he died cleanly.

Just entered, and half of the group's hands were folded inside!

Xia Xun followed behind, and after the group of people in front of him collapsed, he asked everyone to stop, wait for the opportunity, and urgently discuss countermeasures with Cheng Yuan by the way.

He didn't expect that the crown prince and that Murong Jue would be so ruthless, but fortunately he didn't rush forward first, otherwise it would be a bad thing to die inside.

"Cheng Yuan! How did the men find out, and let them set up an ambush waiting for us! Xia Xun calmed his face and whispered to Cheng Yuan beside him.

Cheng Yuan's heart is like a burning fire, they will be vigilant against themselves, not because you went to report the news! Really, am I blind and deaf and ignorant of your affairs?

But now he can't say clearly that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not dispose of Xia Xun, but sent him out, which means that Xia Xun is still useful. Now he could only suppress the fire of anger and listen sullenly to Xia Xun's reprimand.

"Whether to withdraw now or continue, you can make a decision!" Xia Xun said coldly, the light in his eyes flashed, and he only hoped that Cheng Yuan would retreat from the difficulty and not continue.

Cheng Yuan pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "Retreat!" ”
