Chapter 61: Assassinated on the way back to Beijing

Because they had to escort Sun Jianye and others, the team walked very slowly, and arrived at the post station outside the city near noon.

Xiao Yan ordered everyone to stop and rest at the post station, and entered the post station with Feng Yu, while the others were guarding Sun Jianye.

After entering the house, Xiao Er immediately greeted him, wiped the table, poured tea, and asked them what they wanted to eat?

Feng Yu has always been not very interested, so she was silent, Xiao Yan ordered a few dishes at random, and just wanted to say that it was okay, but when she looked up and saw Xiao Er, she was suddenly stunned.

This little er looked very raw, as if he was not the one who served the guests here when they first came to Jiangnan.

At this time, Xiao Yan remembered the appearance of this person when he wiped the table and poured water, and his movements seemed to be very unfamiliar, not like a shopkeeper who had been serving customers for a long time.

Xiao Yan looked up and looked around, only to see that there were people standing in each place in the post station, and the people standing at the counter also peeked at them from time to time.

Something is wrong, something is very wrong.

Xiao Yan glanced at Feng Yu, Feng Yu lowered her head slightly, and did not receive his gaze.

In order to confirm whether things were as he thought, Xiao Yan asked the shopkeeper a few questions, and the shopkeeper replied hesitantly, with a look on his face that was obviously flustered.

"It seems that there are quite a few guests here to greet us."

Feng Yu looked up at Xiao Yan and said with a strange expression, "What are you talking about?" What guests? Why greet us? ”

As soon as the words fell, Feng Yu didn't wait for Xiao Yan's answer, only to see Xiao Yan suddenly get up and quickly come behind her, and when she looked back, the people in the post station had already changed their faces, and they all had swords in their hands.

Assassin?

"Who are you?"

Xiao Yan looked at the assassins surrounding them with cold eyes, he knew that they would not answer his question, he just said this to delay a little time, so that Feng Yu would have time to take precautions.

Sure enough, in the face of Xiao Yan's questioning, the assassin did not answer, only raised the weapon in his hand, and rushed towards Fengyu and Xiao Yan the next moment.

At this time, Feng Yu had already come back to her senses, she got up and stood beside Xiao Yan and looked at the assassin vigilantly, and shouted outside the door by the way: "Someone, there is an assassin." ”

The guards guarding outside the door heard Fengyu's shout, and immediately rushed in.

The target of the assassins was obviously Fengyu and Xiao Yan, so most of them attacked the two, but fortunately, this time to escort Sun Jianye and others to the capital, Xiao Yan took a lot of guards.

Therefore, even if the Assassins had already set up an ambush, they did not succeed easily, but the two groups of men fought each other.

Xiao Yan guarded Fengyu tightly behind her, vigilantly guarding against the assassin from hurting her. However, although Feng Yu does not know martial arts, she is also trying her best to avoid the attacks of assassins in order to reduce Xiao Yan's burden.

"Princess, be careful."

Xiao Yan's eager voice came from her ears, Feng Yu turned her head and saw a flying knife on the left flying straight towards her, but before she could react, Feng Yu reflexively closed her eyes.

Suddenly, his waist was hugged, and then his body spun around, and the expected pain did not come. Feng Yu opened her eyes and saw Xiao Yan standing in front of him, her brows furrowed, as if she was ......

Feng Yu was shocked, and quickly let go of his hand to check, only to see that Xiao Yan's right arm was oozing blood.

"You're hurt?"

Seeing that Xiao Yan was injured, the assassin quickly evacuated the station, Xiao Yan saw the assassin evacuate, knowing that things were not simple, turned his head to look at the injured place on his right arm, and sure enough, he saw that the blood was crimson.

Xiao Yan immediately sealed his acupuncture points, and said with a heavy face: "Check the post station up and down, if there is a suspicious person, arrest and interrogate first." ”

"Yes, General."

Feng Yu's attention was still on the place where Xiao Yan was injured, and she was very anxious when she saw the blood flowing out.

"What to do? The wound kept bleeding and I ...... What should I do? ”

Seeing Feng Yu's eagerness, Xiao Yan immediately comforted: "It's okay, it's just a small injury." ”

"What a small injury, you keep bleeding."

Feng Yu looked at him a little flustered, if it wasn't for Xiao Yan blocking the secret weapon for her, maybe she would be lying on the ground and wouldn't wake up now.

As he spoke, he looked at the guards next to him, "Hurry back to Jiangnan and invite the doctor." ”

As soon as the guards saw Xiao Yan's wounds, they knew that he had been poisoned, and after nodding heavily with their fists, they turned around and ran out quickly, riding a fast horse back to Jiangnan to ask for a doctor.

"Xiao Yan, what can I do now?"

Although she has experienced the events of her previous life, but now that she encounters such a situation, Feng Yu is still a little overwhelmed and can only turn to Xiao Yan for help.

"Don't worry, princess, it's just that my arm hurts a little, I'm fine." Xiao Yan smiled and comforted him first, and then said, "We'll stay in the post house tonight, and when the doctor arrives tomorrow, we can just diagnose and treat it." ”

"Don't lie to me." Feng Yu looked at him with a heavy face and said, "Your wound is bleeding black, which is clearly a sign of poisoning." ”

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "It turns out that the princess can see it." ”

"I still have common sense." Feng Yu lowered her head and pursed her lips, and said, "Then I'll help you deal with the wound first, in order to avoid your accident, I will guard you tonight." ”

In order not to worry Fengyu, Xiao Yan had to nod and agree, "Okay, listen to the princess." ”

Before the night, Xiao Yan's face was obviously not as good as during the day, and he was weak to speak, and before Fengyu could react, he fainted and fell to the ground.

Feng Yu called the attendants, carried Xiao Yan to the bed, touched Xiao Yan's skin, Feng Yu hit her hand, quickly touched Xiao Yan's forehead, and exclaimed: "Why is he so hot." ”

The attendant hurriedly came over and took off Xiao Yan's clothes, only to find that the wound on his right arm had deteriorated, not only was it red and swollen, but it was also constantly oozing blood.

Feng Yu saw the wound and was very worried, so she hurriedly explained: "Bring a basin of water, and bring the medicine." ”

Although it can't be detoxified, but it can't let the injury continue to worsen, Fengyu wiped the beads of sweat on Xiao Yan's forehead with a handkerchief.

All night, Feng Yu stayed by the bedside, helping Xiao Yan change his handkerchief to reduce fever, helping him wipe the sweat on his forehead, and observing his physical condition.

Fortunately, in the early hours of the morning, Xiao Yan's body was not as hot as before, but his spirit was still very bad. When he woke up, he saw Fengyu sleeping on the side of the bed, and felt a little distressed when he saw her tired face.

The toxin began to spread on his body, and from time to time there would be a strong pain on his body, and Xiao Yan himself couldn't tell when he would faint again.

In order not to worry Feng Yu, Xiao Yan deliberately coughed lightly, and the next moment, Feng Yu, who was asleep on the bed, immediately woke up.

"Are you awake?"

Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan excitedly, and the next moment, she looked worried again: "How do you feel?" Where does it hurt? ”

"Don't worry, princess, my injury is nothing compared to the injuries I received during the war." Xiao Yan said in a relaxed tone, with a bright smile on his face.

"But you're poisoned." Feng Yu looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "You fainted with a fever last night, and your wounds are getting worse. ”

Xiao Yan sat up from the bed, straightened up and looked at Feng Yu, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already sealed the acupuncture points in my body, and I won't be able to die for a while." ”

"The princess has been keeping watch here all night, so let's go back to her room and rest for a while."

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Feng Yu shook her head and said, "I'm still here to guard you." ”

"I'm awake, and I don't need to be guarded." Xiao Yan smiled a little helplessly and said, "Besides, even if you need someone to guard it, aren't there still guards?" ”

"But I ......"

"Listen to me, princess, go back to your room and lie down for a while, you see that your eyes are almost impossible to open after a long night." Xiao Yan joked with a smile, seeing that Fengyu didn't agree, he changed his way again.

"The Assassins may make a comeback, and the Duke will have to rest before he has the energy to deal with them."

"If the princess is tired again, and the assassins will raid at that time, I can't guarantee that I will still have the strength to rescue the princess."

Feng Yu knew that Xiao Yan said this because she cared about herself, so in order not to worry him, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to the room to rest for a while, if there is anything, you can ask someone to call me." ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll keep people here, it'll be fine."

Fengyu helped Xiao Yan tuck the quilt, then got up to leave, walked out of the door, and said to the guards guarding the door: "You take turns guarding the general, and you must not leave the bed." ”

"Yes, Princess."

Glancing back at the door, Fengyu said again: "If there is anything, you must come and inform me." ”

"Subordinates obey."

After arranging everything, Feng Yu went back to her room with peace of mind, and after keeping watch all night, she was indeed a little tired.

After Feng Yu left, the smile on Xiao Yan's face disappeared immediately, and he coughed violently.

The guards entered the house according to Fengyu's instructions, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw Xiao Yan's pale face coughing, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran over.

"General, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yan coughed so badly that he couldn't answer for a while, but when the guards saw this, they said eagerly: "Go down and tell the princess." ”

Before the guard could take a step, Xiao Yan's hand was grabbed, he forcibly stopped coughing, and then said, "Don't tell the princess." ”

"But ......"

"I'm poisoned, and it's useless to tell the princess." Xiao Yan let go of his hand, took a few breaths, and then continued: "Let the princess have a good rest, don't disturb her." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Although Sun Jianye, who was locked in the house, didn't know what happened during the day, he saw that the guards were all on standby at any time, and guessed that something must have happened.

Originally, there were quite a few guards guarding Sun Jianye and the others, but now a few more have been transferred away to protect Fengyu and Xiao Yan, and there are only a few guards left.

The treacherous and cunning Sun Jianye saw that the guards guarding him were reduced, and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he secretly untied the rope on his wrist.

Taking advantage of the fatigue of the guards, Sun Jianye slipped out of the room where he was being held, trying to escape secretly in the middle of the night.
