Chapter 15: Yan Mo's assassination
"Niannian, let's go!" I lay on the table, thinking about the marriage contract with that disciple, and I felt as if my head was about to explode, and my future husband would definitely not be like him.
"Where to go?" Counting the people coming and going at the window, I was bored.
"Go back to Yunmeng Mountain, go back to find the master and brother, and save yourself from meeting a Naden apprentice." I was angry at the mention of him, and I didn't believe that I could run a little farther and still meet him.
"Okay, when are we leaving!" Nian Nian suddenly perked up.
"Let's go now, we should be able to get to town in the evening, and we'll go back tomorrow morning after buying something." I thought everything back to me properly.
"Good!" I guess Nian Nian is also bored, thinking that it would be good to go back.
"You go find a carriage and I'll pack my bags." Saying that, we didn't delay for a moment, and immediately split up.
Nian Nian and I sat happily in the carriage, looking forward to seeing the surprise of the master and the senior brother, but what I didn't expect was that there were some fates that I couldn't shake off......
Chenwang's Mansion
"Prepare the car and go to Yunmeng Mountain." This was her mother's favorite place when she was alive, and she said she would keep it after she died......
"Lord Wang, you must prepare the car." Qingge is a little strange, usually every time they go, they go secretly on horseback, why do they have to prepare a car today.
"I asked my father to see him when he summoned me today, and this time I will go openly." His eyes are unwilling, one day, he will let that person pay for his life, and let her atone for her mother's sins every day.
"Okay! Subordinates will do it! Qingge didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to find the carriage.
The Queen's Bedchamber
"Niangniang, Your Majesty asked King Chen to see that person." Xiao Dong said nervously to the queen.
"What! Didn't he gradually get out of my grasp after that! The queen began to go a little berserk.
"No! What about my dust! The queen angrily threw the glass cup in her hand on the ground, the tea seeped into the ground, and the cup shattered.
"Mother's anger!" Xiao Dong's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt on the ground with his head firmly on the ground, and his hands kept shaking.
"Go! Find some peerless masters, even if you can't kill him, you have to skin him! The queen, who seems to be gentle on weekdays, has a bloodthirsty murderous intent on her face that does not match her image.
"Good! Good! Xiao Dong trembled and knelt on the ground to pick up the glass slag.
"Get out! Just go! The queen kicked over, and without leaving half a face, Xiao Dong on the ground got up and hurriedly ran out.
……
The carriage swayed, the bell on the horse's neck jingled, the weather was a little stuffy, and Niannian and I dozed off a little in the carriage.
"Girl, it's here!" The driver stopped the car.
"Miss, we're here, let's go!" Nian Nian was awakened by the coachman's voice and rubbed her eyes.
"Ahh It's here! Leaning on Niannian, I slept a little soundly, and when I was woken up by Niannian, I was a little blind, opened my hazy sleepy eyes, yawned, and stretched.
"Thank you!" Nian Nian took out the silver taels and gave them to the coachman.
After getting off the bus, we found a simple inn in the town and stayed there, planning to go into the mountains tomorrow morning to find the master and brother and give them a big surprise.
"Let's live there!" Nian Nian pointed to a small inn with lights on in front of her.
"Hmm!" I'm a little sleepy, and I just want to sleep, as long as I can find a place to live.
"Little Er, open a house and send some hot water." Niannian watched me bump along the way, and wanted me to take a hot bath and have a good rest.
"It's so comfortable!" I was taking a comfortable bath, when suddenly there was a fight outside, which startled me.
"Niannian, look at what's going on!" I quickly got up and put on my clothes, and scattered the lilies I had brought with me in my sleeves.
"Good!" Nian Nian quietly opened a small slit of the window to see what was going on below.
"It looks like they're chasing two people." Nian Nian whispered.
"I'll see!" I walked over briskly and peeked through the crack in the window.
It was completely dark outside, only a few small shops still had lanterns hanging at the doors, and the lights shone faintly on the ground.
"Niannian, turn off the lights!" I whispered to Nian Nian, for fear of incurring some kind of death.
After turning off the lights, I continued to watch quietly from the window, only to see two people running ahead, they seemed to be at a disadvantage, being chased by other people.
They should have been fighting for a long time, both sides were injured, and their movements were not very neat, so it should be some kind of grudge.
"Lord Wang, be careful!" I saw one of them, like a smoke bomb dropped in the distance, pulling the other person, hiding not far away, under the stall of a small vendor, because I was upstairs, so everything was in my eyes.
"Search for me!" Because of the smoke bombs, the men couldn't find them and began to search in the other direction of the fork in the road.
"I've got to go down and see!" I just heard someone shouting for the prince, and I felt that the sound was a little like Qingge, although I thought it was impossible for them to come here, but curiosity still drove me to go down and have a look.
"Miss, don't go, it's too dangerous down there!" Reluctant to let me go down and take the risk, he tugged at my clothes tightly.
"It's okay, don't turn on the light, wait for me on it, I'll go down quietly." I showed her the lilies in my sleeve to reassure her.
"Then I'll go with you!" I don't give up.
"It's too easy for two people to be discovered, you wait for me here, I'll be back soon." As I spoke, I quietly touched the faint light in the inn.
Most of the customers in the store have turned off the lights and rested, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er have also rested, the store is quiet and empty, for fear of being discovered by people outside, I didn't dare to light the lights.
Walking to the door, I quietly opened the crack in the door to look outside, there was no human figure on the street outside for the time being, and I ran in the direction where the two people were hiding.
"Who!" One of them pulled me over, the dagger against my abdomen.
"I'm here to save you!" I didn't dare to move my body, for fear that the dagger would end my life.
"It's you!"
"It's you!" Yan Mo and I made a sound almost at the same time.
I didn't expect to meet him here, could it be that he was following me? It's really haunting.
"There's movement over there, let's go!" Several of the thugs heard the movement and ran towards where we were hiding.
Yan Mo and Qingge subconsciously protected me behind me, this action surprised me a little, I didn't expect these two people to be quite personable, but I am a girl, and no one will push me forward.
"I have a way, let's run later, and we'll run down the back alley together." I pointed to a small alley in front of me.
Listening to the sound of them getting closer and closer, I was a little nervous, but I didn't want to die yet, the two of them should be seriously injured, and their breath was a little disordered, so they could only rely on me to go out and fight.
The two of them were a little surprised, and the movements of their hands paused slightly, but they also chose to believe me.
"Run!" Hearing their approaching footsteps, I rushed out with the horror of both of them, threw the powder in my hand over them, and shouted loudly.
Qingge and I immediately helped Yan Mo to run into the back alley.
"Ahh ……”
"Itchy ......"
"What kind of beast is it?" A few people were hit by my lily scatter and lay on the ground, itching all over their bodies, like thousands of insects biting, constantly rolling and scratching.
"Why are you here?" Seeing the way I rushed up just now, Yan Mo was a little surprised, he didn't expect me to be so brave and able to meet me here.
"I want to ask you, why are you here?" I thought he was a stalker.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later, let's go first." I stuck my head out and looked, and the gangsters outside had already run away.
In the dark night, I couldn't see the injuries on Yan Mo's body clearly, so I had to help him walk towards the inn with Qingge and go back to my room.
"Miss, this ......" Nian Nian was a little surprised, and didn't know why I came back with them.
"Niannian, go get some water." With that, I lit a few lights in the room.
"Why did those gangsters kill you?" Looking at the injuries on Yan Mo and Qingge's bodies, I couldn't help but shrink, how much hatred must be this to be able to do this.
"It's none of your business!" Yan Mo had a cold face, he didn't want too many people to know about him.
"Why aren't you so ignorant!" Although I was a little angry, I couldn't die without help.
After examining their injuries, I found that both of them showed signs of poisoning, and they must have touched the poison on their weapons, but now that the pharmacy is closed, and I don't have any herbs with me, I can only clean and bandage their wounds first.
"Hiss" Yan Mo looked at me with a frown.
"Humph!" That's right, I deliberately touched his wound hard, and it was he who said that it had nothing to do with me, but he didn't have to suffer a little.
"No! Eat this! "I gave them the life-sustaining pill that the master taught me to make before, although this medicine has the effect of refreshing and prolonging life and protecting the heart, but it can only delay the spread of toxicity, and antidote is still needed to detoxify.
"Thank you!" The two of them paused and looked at each other, but they still took the medicine.
"Yo, wasn't it fierce just now? How! I'm not afraid I'll poison you! "Who can't be angry, if he can be angry with me, I will be angry back.
"Is Madame willing?" He looked at me wickedly, and began to be shameless again.
"This medicine can only alleviate the spread of your toxicity, if you want to detoxify, you have to wait until dawn tomorrow, the master has a lot of medicinal materials there." I really don't want to talk to him too much, otherwise I will either be first, or I will leave him to fend for themselves.
"Why are you here?" He looked at me fixedly, making me a little hairy.
"You take care of me, I love it here, can't I hide from you? I don't bother to pay attention to you" really, this poisoned talk is so much, I turned away and didn't want to talk to him.
Due to the poisoning, the two of them gradually weakened and fell asleep, Nian Nian and I had to drag them to the bed, and she and I could only lie on the table to rest.
"Miss, shall we take them back?" Nian Nian looked at me.
"It's good that he saved us once, this time I paid him back, and I won't owe him anything in the future." I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
