Lu Zhe and a large number of people quickly surrounded the moat, because of this change, the crowd was uneasy, but fortunately, the patrol battalion had already made preparations to calm the panicked crowd and take them out of the range of the assassins.

Su Mian swam for a few minutes with her breath in her breath, and finally arrived at the shore, where she saw Lin Qingqing being placed on the ground, Shen Manzhi and Shayue guarding her, surrounded by guards, and it was safe.

Su Mian staggered over, hurriedly held Lin Qingqing's hand, it was cold, his face turned even paler with fright, and he called softly: "Qingqing, how do you feel?" ”

"She passed out." Shen Manzhi stretched out his hand and wiped the water droplets on his face, and his tone trembled.

Su Mian took a deep breath and almost fell back without stabilizing her body.

Lu Zhe stood beside them and promised sharply: "Don't worry, princess, there are so many of us, we will definitely be able to catch the assassin, and I will send someone to send you to the hospital immediately." ”

Su Mian waved her hand and refused, but fortunately, it was too late to say anything, so she quickly reached out and helped Lin Qingqing up, supported her with Shen Manzhi left and right, and walked towards the shore: "No, let's go back to the academy directly, the prince arranged in advance for the imperial doctor to wait." ”

A feather arrow shot over, and was quickly split in half by Lu Zhe's quick arrow.

Lu Zhe was still not at ease, and kept following them: "I'll send you back, it's enough to have a patrol battalion and the prime minister's people here." ”

However, the assassins were obviously coming at Shen Manzhi, and at this moment, they were all chasing after him, and they were bound to leave Shen Manzhi here.

These assassins thought that the patrol battalion and the government soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion were relieved to chase after them, but they fell into a trap that had been prepared a long time ago, and all of them were besieged and two people were captured.

Su Mian breathed a sigh of relief, completely handed over the matter to Lu Zhe to deal with, and took Lin Qingqing back to the academy quickly.

"Rubbish!" Song Yanran almost knocked everything on the table to the ground, listening to the fighting and killing on the shore outside, her face was terrifying.

In front of her, Lin Zhao, the main person in charge of this operation, was still kneeling, Lin Zhao had a wound on his arm, he had just climbed up from the river, he was wet, and he didn't dare to refute a word in the face of Song Yanran's anger.

Song Yanran's chest rose and fell violently, one hand supported the table, her fingers tightly grasped Zhuo Yan, her expression was cold to the extreme, and she was disappointed: "I bought so much to endure for you, a little Mengke County Lord, such a good opportunity today, you can all let her run, and some people have been caught by the people of the patrol battalion, what use do I want you, what is the use of what you swear and promise?" ”

With such a good card, Song Yanran never expected to be beaten so poorly, she didn't know what to do next.

Fortunately, Qing'er was quite calm, reached out and helped Lin Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, to help him up, and gave him the gold sore medicine he was carrying.

But after doing this, Qing'er quickly asked the most critical question: "Brother Lin, when you came up just now, you weren't seen, right?" ”

The Song family's cruise ship was on the river, and when the assassination operation began, Song Yanran's boat was quite far away from Su Mian and the others, across a bridge, and Lin Zhao wanted to come here, and he was still seen at such a distance......

"Nope." Lin Zhao was actually unsure in his heart, but how dare he say it clearly now.

He held the medicine given by Qing'er in his hand, his face was solemn to the extreme, and his tone was a little untenably flustered: "Miss, this time I was derelict in my duty, but everything is taken care of, and no one will suspect you." ”

Song Yanran didn't need his words, what she wanted was absolute safety.

She didn't ask before because she didn't think about it, but now that Qing'er asked, Song Yanran also became suspicious: "There are so many guards, how can you be sure that no one really sees you?" Lin Zhao, at this time, you shouldn't have come to my ship. ”

Lin Zhao's expression became more and more flustered, and he hurriedly explained: "But...... Miss, it's all chasing soldiers outside, I'm ......"

The only safe place he could think of was Song Yanran's ship, but now he suddenly felt that Song Yanran was not necessarily safe.

The sound of fighting outside continued, and Song Yanran asked Qing'er to go to the window to take a look at the situation.

Qing'er quickly ran back, but her face was pale, she stumbled and stammered, as if she was scared to the extreme, and her whole face was full of panic: "Oh no, Miss, Regent...... He's leading people to search for ships! ”

If something so big happens, the boats on the river will definitely be suspected, and the regent will appear to lead people to search for them, so whoever the boat belongs to, I'm afraid they can only cooperate.

If anyone dares to discooperate, no one can afford to be charged with obstructing official business and harboring assassins.

Song Yanran slowly stood up, staring at Lin Zhao in front of her, her eyes becoming colder and colder.

She knew very well in her heart that Lin Zhao could not continue to stay here. Jiujiu Chinese

Lin Zhao felt the murderous aura in her eyes, he knelt down suddenly, and prayed with a pale face: "Miss, my subordinates have done so many things for you, so please protect your subordinates this time, you can't hand me over, who doesn't know that I am a member of the Song family, and if you hand it over, it will also affect the Song family." ”

He was too anxious, listening to the noise outside, looking at Song Yanran's cold face without any mercy, this kind of danger was even more desperate than fighting with those people outside just now.

Song Yanran's face was completely cold, and at this moment, she only coldly hooked the corners of her mouth: "You reminded me, you really can't hand it over, so Lin Zhao, you only have one way to go." ”

When he heard Song Yanran say that he would not hand him over, Lin Zhao was still a little happy in his heart, thinking that Song Yanran still couldn't bear to give up on him, after all, he had done so much for Song Yanran.

But soon, he realized that something was wrong, because Song Yanran took out the saber he held in his hand, leaned down and squatted in front of Lin Zhao, and raised the sword in front of him with both hands: "Do it yourself, you have followed me for so many years, don't worry, after you die, your family, I will take good care of it." ”

Lin Zhao was completely stunned in place, and he didn't react for a long time.

Song Yanran seemed to have lost her patience, and sent the saber forward again, impatient: "Only if you commit suicide in fear of sin, we will not be implicated, Lin Zhao, you should be able to prioritize it, right?" Your family has been taken care of by the Guogong Mansion all these years, Lin Zhao, think about it carefully, you don't have much time to think about it. ”

Lin Zhao stared at Song Yanran with a pair of desperate eyes, he had no choice, from the day they were picked by the Guogong Mansion. Their family is controlled by the other party, and he can only be obedient now, if the Song family is implicated, I'm afraid his whole family won't be able to escape.

Qing'er has been standing by Song Yanran's side, and her face is not good-looking at the moment.

She couldn't even help but think that Lin Zhao was so useful and had done so many things for Song Yanran, but when it came to a critical moment, Song Yanran gave him up without blinking an eye, so what about after that?

If she did something wrong, would Song Yanran be so unsparing?

Qing'er didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Lin Zhao knew that he had no choice, so he finally took the saber in Song Yanran's hand, struggled for a long time with his eyes down, and finally said softly: "I hope Miss will fulfill her promise and take care of them." ”

From the moment he took the saber, Song Yanran's face was not so tense, and she smiled softly when she heard this, and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I say." ”

Lin Zhao closed his eyes, his heart was ruthless, and he put the saber across his neck.

Song Yanran got up slowly, and when she heard the noisy footsteps on the deck, Gu Zhixing had already come over with the guards.

She looked at the mess all over the ground, and her face was extremely calm.

Gu Zhixing pushed the door in, and when he saw the man in black lying on the ground, he knew that he was late.

He stood in front of Song Yanran, waiting for the guards behind him to check on the person on the ground.

Soon got the answer, and the guard said: "Lord, it's Lin Zhao of the Guogong Mansion, we have been working together before, and we won't admit mistakes." ”

Gu Zhixing stared at Song Yanran fixedly, and asked softly, "Miss Song, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Song Yanran was not weak when she was stared at, and even a little easy, she smiled softly, and said calmly: "The prince doesn't know, the people under his hands have done something wrong, I only found out today, if he hadn't hid on my boat, I wouldn't have known, he actually dared to attack the county lord of Meng Kelai, it was an unforgivable crime, I was about to arrest him and give him to the prince, but I didn't expect him to commit suicide in fear of sin." ”

He lied without even a pause.

"Really?" Gu Zhixing stared at her coldly. Her eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion, "Then did Miss Song ask why he, a guard of the Guogong Mansion, wanted to buy people from the rivers and lakes to assassinate the county lord of Mengke?" Two people who have never had any intersection, what grievances do they have to have? ”

Song Yanran thought she was very smart, but in fact, this reason was really full of loopholes.

I can't bear her shamelessness.

As long as there is no definite evidence, and now that Lin Zhao is also dead, there is no proof of death, no one can do anything with her, so her expression is very relaxed: "I don't know about this, haven't I had time to ask yet?" ”

Gu Zhixing obviously didn't believe this set of rhetoric, his expression became more and more cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The stakes are very high, Miss Song had better tell the truth, the county lord of Mengke has been in the city for three days, and has suffered two waves of assassinations, and the assassin who chased him all the way happened to die on your ship, can you really say that you don't know anything?" ”

Song Yanran shrugged helplessly, and said innocently: "But I really don't know anything, the prince won't doubt me, right?" How could I possibly take the initiative against Moncoshire? If there is no evidence, the prince's words may chill the heart of the grandfather. ”

She seemed to have found the backbone of the main heart, and became more and more unscrupulous and presumptuous: "If my father is unhappy, in front of the emperor, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to explain, so if the prince really thinks that I have a problem, I still have to show evidence to speak, otherwise it is not enough to convict me just because of a dead man who committed suicide in fear of crime." ”

Gu Zhixing stared at her firmly, his eyes condensed and deep.
