351. 352 Assassination, ask for a monthly pass

Linghu Hongxi reached out again to pull the full moon, and the full moon did not refuse this time.

After all, Linghu Hongxi is her father, and if she wants to perform, she has to have a degree!

"Get up, father understands." There was a hint of hoarseness in Hu Hongxi's voice.

Full Moon lowered her eyes and didn't give him any response for the time being.

"Your father can see the grievances you have suffered, and if you don't say it, your father knows it. Father just did the same - well, forget it. ”

Ling Hu Hongxi shook his head, he really felt exhausted.

"Father promised you that he would never say anything to doubt you in the future."

Linghu Hongxi raised his hand and patted the full moon on the shoulder, and the full moon nodded slowly.

"Father, in fact, my daughter is relieved today, all the knots in my heart have been untied, and my daughter will definitely work with her father in the future to protect the Hou Mansion."

Full Moon knew what was going on to Linghu Hongxi now.

"I was too anxious before I became a father, but in fact, for you, in my father's heart-" Ling Hu Hongxi was speechless again, in fact, he now regretted what he said to the full moon before.

"Father, my daughter is really fine. Perhaps all daughters in the world will not have the opportunity to talk to their fathers so freely, daughters understand the difficulties of their fathers as the head of the family, and daughters will always trust their fathers. ”

The words of the full moon made Linghu Hongxi feel like he wanted to cry.

"Okay, for the sake of my father, you can go back to the medicine first. Rest well. ”

"Yes, father."

Full Moon nodded, and then turned to leave.

Walking out of the courtyard of the third lady, a warm sun sprinkled on her body, but it couldn't wrap up the cold feeling around her body.

The redness and swelling on the forehead can quickly subside, but the haze in the bottom of the heart is not destined to dissipate when the warm sun shines in.

――

When the full moon returned to Pujia Pavilion, Ximeng and Ning Jing were startled when they saw the injury on her forehead, and they didn't dare to ask more, so they gave her medicine with their hands and feet.

The full moon looked up and saw that Ximeng's eyes were red, and he looked at her funny,

"It's just a little skin wound, what are you doing? It was as if I had been greatly wronged. None of the people around me like to cry. ”

The ridicule of the full moon made the dream burst into laughter, but the next moment it turned back to the bitter gourd face.

"Miss, the slaves and maids are worried about you, you never say anything, and the slaves and maids are sometimes uncomfortable in their care."

"What do you want me to say? Do you mean that I was almost locked up like Linghu Pingxue just now? ”

"Ahh Small-Miss!! ”

"Miss! Don't scare us! ”

Ximeng and Ning Jing exhaled at the same time, but the full moon was still in the mood to laugh.

"Okay, there's nothing left, it's all settled. But then you're going to really stare at me. ”

Full Moon's words made Ximeng and Ning Jing can't help but look at her with wide eyes, waiting for her to speak.

"My aunt mentioned to me today that the old lady wants to go to Xiangguo Temple to live for a while, at least for a month, and will come back next month when Huang Sheng is born. But I need my aunt and I to send the old lady to Xiangguo Temple. It took 10 days to go back and forth. When the time comes, I can only take Tie Ying in the bright place and Yinxiu in the dark, you two have to show me this Pujia Pavilion, not a single grass or tree is missing. ”

"Miss, don't worry, in the past ten days, Ximeng and I have been on a day shift and a night shift, and we must guard this yard well."

Ning Jing and Ximeng glanced at each other and nodded solemnly.

"I have faith in you."

These two girls have been with her for a year, Ximeng was the first to stay with her, she is clever and lively, and Ning Jing was sent from Aunt Mingshui Pavilion later, since she is the person chosen by her aunt, naturally there is no problem.

These two are now her right-hand men in the Pujia Pavilion.

"You guys go down first, and let Tie Ying and Yin Xiu come over."

The two nodded and withdrew.

After a while, Tie Ying and Yin Xiu walked in at the same time.

Tie Ying is heroic and cool, while Yin Xiu is dressed in black, looking mysterious and stable.

"Miss, what is the matter with us?"

Tie Ying was the first to speak, and in the past half a year by the full moon's side, Tie Ying has grown a lot taller, and his eyebrows are more delicate and handsome.

Yinxiu stood aside and remained silent, waiting for the full moon to command.

"Three days later, I will escort the old lady to Xiangguo Temple with my aunt. If anything happens on the way, don't show up, and don't show up until you have to! Did you hear that? ”

The words of the full moon made the two puzzled.

"Miss, you already expected danger, why are you-"

"This time, I'm going to cast a long line to catch a big fish!"

The full moon smiled slightly, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

This time, she wants to draw out Pang Rui!

She and Ling Huquan escorted the old lady to Xiangguo Temple, and it would definitely not be peaceful on the way! The old lady's idea was that she would not let her return to the Hou Mansion alive, and she just used the old lady to achieve her goal of testing Pang Rui this time!

It's a rare opportunity, and she won't miss it!

――

Three days later, the full moon came to Mingshui Pavilion early to prepare with Linghu Quan, although she and Ling Huquan were escorting the old lady up the mountain, but it took seven days to go back and forth along the way, plus the old lady was unwell, and the carriage could not travel too fast, so it would take at least ten days.

Full Moon and Ling Huquan are in a carriage, the old lady's carriage is in the front, from the beginning of the Hou Gate, the old lady has not looked at the full moon and Ling Huquan with her eyes, and the two of them don't care, anyway, the old lady doesn't like both of them.

The carriage went all the way, and beside the full moon, there was still Yinxiu in the dark and Tie Ying in the light.

Along the way, Ling Huquan sent Qiao Qing from time to time to inquire about the situation of the carriage in front of the old lady.

The three-day trip was smooth, the old lady still didn't say a word to the full moon and Linghuquan, and when she arrived at the post station, she got off the bus to rest, and she didn't leave the room, and she set off early the next morning to get into the carriage, and she didn't bother to look at them.

Ling Huquan was used to the old lady's cold face, but felt that it was already very good not to listen to his cynicism, so the old lady didn't speak, and she and the full moon were silent.

It was only after the two of them got into the carriage that they chatted privately.

The full moon counts the days, and it will be more than a day to reach the bottom of the mountain, and once the time comes, the old lady will not be convenient at the bottom of the mountain.

Xiangguo Temple is heavily guarded, all of them are guarded by people sent by the emperor, if the old lady intends to do it in Xiangguo Temple, unless she buys off the guards inside and outside Xiangguo Temple!

The carriage went on until it reached a three-way junction, and the carriage was supposed to turn right, but it was going to the left, and the carriage in front of the old lady was also moving to the left.

"Auntie, it seems that you have gone wrong."

The full moon reminds Linghu Spring.

"Yes, Qiao Qing, you go and ask, why did you take this road."

"Yes, Princess." Qiao Qing got out of the car and caught up with the carriage in front.

The carriage stopped, and the full moon motioned for Tie Ying to lift the curtain.

Now it is the season of spring flowers, but on this road, there is a cold air, and the gloomy atmosphere is blowing in the face.

The full moon looked at the surrounding environment, and the grass was overgrown, and there was no edge in sight.

The road on the right is the way you always go up the mountain, but the one on the left-

If this was suspiciously arranged by the old lady, then there is a good chance that she would do it here.

Full Moon winked at Tie Ying and told her to be more vigilant.

Tie Ying's eyes were like torches, and he cautiously swept every corner.

After a while, Qiao Qing ran back out of breath.

"Back to the princess, eldest lady, the spies sent by the old lady said that there was a carriage overturned on the road on the right, blocking the road, and the road on the left can be reached by a little detour, so go this way."

"W-overturned?" Ling Huquan obviously didn't believe the old lady's words.

"Qiao Qing, you tell the guards to be more careful, this road has not been traveled before, just in case."

Ling Huquan's vigilance is still very high, but she wouldn't have thought at this moment that the old lady is going to kill the full moon here next moment!

The carriage continued to move forward, but the atmosphere inside the carriage was a little tense.

The road on the left became more and more desolate, and the cold wind whistled all around, giving people a gloomy feeling even though it was broad daylight.

Although Ling Huquan didn't say anything, she tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand, and her mouth opened several times, all of which she had something to say, she probably wanted to remind the full moon to be more careful.

The carriage went forward with a stick of incense, and the front was overgrown with weeds, and it was almost impossible to see the road ahead.

"Full moon, be careful, I always feel like here-"

"Bang!"

At this moment, a sudden explosion from the front interrupted Ling Huquan's words.

"What's going on?" Ling Huquan reacted and hurriedly got up to look out.

This look scared her away.

The carriage in front of him, which had been running in half, had been blown in half, and there were corpses lying on the ground, including the guards of the Hou Mansion and the maids and women who served by the old lady.

"Mother!"

Linghu Quan exclaimed in surprise, and then jumped out of the carriage to find the old lady.

The carriage in front seemed to have been blown up by black powder, and just as Ling Huquan got off the car, dozens of masked black-clothed people appeared in front of him, although they were wearing shabby, but the scarves covering their faces were uniformly black.

"This is the carriage of the old man's family, it is really magnificent, so eye-catching, don't blame the brothers for worrying about it! This road was opened by the brothers, and if you don't come here with long eyes, don't blame the brothers for being polite! ”

A man in black standing at the front spoke arrogantly, but his words were full of loopholes.

This is at the foot of Xiangguo Temple, if it was a bandit, he would have been surrounded and suppressed by the emperor! How could it be possible here! And although these people deliberately wore different clothes, long and short, the face towels on their faces were uniform, obviously afraid that people would recognize them!

How long do real thieves live deep in the mountains, and they rarely cover their faces when they go down the mountain to rob, anyway, they don't go down the mountain lightly, and they are not afraid of being recognized!

Besides, this black powder is a rarity in Kyoto! Private buying and selling is absolutely not allowed! The bandits used dirt methods to rob, throwing stones, digging traps, and shooting cold arrows! The bandits who really know how to install black powder and use it so accurately are indeed too unlike bandits!

"You are bold! The carriage of the Hou Mansion also dared to stop it! What about my mother! ”

Ling Huquan couldn't think so much now, and when he saw the old lady's carriage being blown up, he couldn't help but get excited.

The full moon followed her out of the car, and the moment she appeared, the masked man's eyes that spoke changed significantly, as if he had seen the real prey!

"Less nonsense! Lao Tzu asks for money! What mother is not a mother, I don't know where I was killed by the explosion for a long time! Brothers! That's a big deal! Give it to me!! ”

The black-clothed man led by him didn't talk nonsense, and with a finger of the long sword in his hand, a group of black-clothed people rushed towards this side together.

Tie Ying immediately protected Full Moon and Ling Huquan.

When they left the Hou Mansion this time, they also brought sixteen guards with them, but now it seems that these sixteen guards are no match for this group of black-clothed people at all.

The man in black is not like the bandit's rough approach at all, he is ruthless and steady, and he basically slashes the guards of the Hou Mansion straight into the throat! Such a precise and vicious trick is not what a thief calls at all, but more like a well-trained top killer!

The leader of the killers went straight to the full moon.

At the critical moment, Full Moon pushed Linghu Spring away.

"Auntie, you take someone back first, I'll cover you here! Come on! ”

The full moon pushed Ling Huquan into the carriage, she was really worried that the old lady would become mad, and she didn't even let Ling Huquan go. After all, Ling Huquan doesn't have the same heart with her now, if it is eradicated, there will be one less person to help the full moon speak in the future.

Looking at the corpses on that place, if this qiē was really secretly arranged by the old lady, the old lady could even take out the people close to her and sacrifice!

It's really crazy!

"Full moon, mother, she-" Ling Huquan didn't want to leave, the old lady was her mother after all, and she naturally couldn't rest assured when it came to life and death.

Under the full moon, there is a sadness in my heart.

Ling Huquan was the first to think about the old lady at this time, but what about the old lady?

"Auntie, I promise you! I will definitely let the old lady go back safely! Auntie, trust me! You go first! ”

As he spoke, Full Moon winked at Tie Ying.

Although Tie Ying is not worried about the full moon, he still has to listen to the full moon at this time!

She pulled Ling Huquan with one hand and jumped into the carriage quickly!

Linghuquan's shout echoed on the empty road for a long time.

The man in black began to pounce frantically, and there were not many guards left in the Hou Mansion.

Seeing that Linghu Quan was gone, the man in black did not send anyone to chase after him.

After all, Linghu Full Moon is the one they want to arrest.

"Take her head!"

The leader of the men in black gave an order, and more than a dozen men in black rushed towards the full moon.

Full Moon sneered,

"Why don't you call it brother? Bandits? Joke! Which killer are you? My aunt is gone, and everyone else is dead! How long do you want to pretend! ”

The full moon sneered, and the leader of the men in black was obviously stunned, and then gritted his teeth and said fiercely,

"Miss Linghu, we are real bandits! I don't understand what you're talking about! You'd better be obedient! Don't force us to chop you into pate! ”

"I know I'm Miss Linghu! Didn't you know anything at first? I can't even put it on for you! Where is the old lady? Let her come out and see me! What is it to hide? Shrinking turtle! ”
