Chapter 162: The Assassin

Erkun rushed to Qinghuanju and saw Qin Nianbai sitting on the recliner with an ugly face, while Bao's mother and Xiaoqing also lowered their heads on both sides and did not speak, basically knowing what was going on.

"Madame, what are you looking for me?" He asked, clenching his fists and bowing his head.

Qin Nianbai touched his stomach with one hand and motioned for him to be exempt with the other.

Looking at Erkun's appearance, it is estimated that she is unwilling to tell the truth for her own safety, so she preconceivedly said: "Master Hou had an accident three days ago, why did you tell me at this time?" ”

Erkun was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at Xiaoqing, rolled his eyes, and hugged his fists again: "Oh, this is a rumor outside, and the small one is also told to Xiaoqing girl as a joke, you don't have to take it seriously!" ”

"Okay, it seems that none of you are the people I put in my heart, and you don't need to serve in this courtyard in the future, so let's remove the people!"

Qin Nianbai turned his face away, and said in a cold tone, but he panicked quickly in his heart, according to the distance, He Yan should have brought people back to the capital a long time ago!

Bao's mother, Erkun, and Xiaoqing knelt on the ground together, but they didn't speak!

Qin Nianbai had already concluded that this was true, the more panicked she was, the more her stomach hurt, the sweat on her head became more and more serious, and her face turned pale with pain.

"It hurts, my stomach hurts!" She touched her stomach weakly and said with difficulty.

The three kneeling at the bottom hurriedly got up and hurriedly began to call people around.

At this time, it was getting late, and the people in the outer courtyard didn't know what was going on, but they saw the guards patrolling back and forth, as if something big was going to happen!

Erkun has arranged for someone to invite the doctor who lives in the house, as well as the midwife.

Qin Nianbai was lying on the bed, howling with pain on her face, several midwives were beside her to guide her, and the others were busy preparing hot water and so on.

Erkun asked a few guards with strong martial arts to guard at the door as little servants, and told Bao's mother and Xiaoqing, "You can see clearly inside, except for the subordinates who signed the death deed, no other people will be allowed to come in!" I'll go outside and keep watch! ”

Xiaoqing and Bao's mother hurriedly inquired about the people in the house one by one, and only after confirming it did they go over to accompany Qin Nianbai with peace of mind.

Although the people in the outer courtyard heard the movement intermittently, they did not dare to approach, but only pointed there.

Cui'er was also puzzled, she was grateful for Qin Nianbai's kindness, so she wanted to go up to inquire about the news, but she was scolded back by the guards.

The experienced old mother next to her guessed: "Madame's voice is loud, and I can hear it half a yard away, it must have been born early!" ”

Cui'er leaned over and deliberately asked, "Don't talk nonsense, doesn't Madame have a few days?" ”

"I have taken a few babies before, and I know what this woman's cry is, but the people in the inner courtyard will naturally be busy, and our outer courtyard will take care of our own affairs!" The old mother glanced at the courtyard again and said calmly.

As soon as Cui'er wanted to go back to work, she thought of what her cousin said that Mrs. would wait for her at the door on the day of delivery, so why didn't she tell her cousin the news that Mrs. had allowed her to leave the house early.

Maybe after this incident, the lady will give them more money as soon as she is happy.

She crept towards the side door of the backyard, where the guards were patrolling, though she was afraid of being caught and questioned.

But as soon as he opened the door, his cousin was waiting for him at the door, so he became emboldened and walked straight over.

smiled and said: "A few big brothers, something important has happened inside, Second Master Kun asked you to be careful, don't let go of any suspicious deeds!" ”

Several guards recognized Cui'er, she often sprinkled and swept in this area, and the guard who took the lead also asked her to be careful not to run around.

Seeing that people were passing, Cui'er quickly ran to the small side door and opened the deadbolt, but as soon as the door opened, she was knocked unconscious by a woman standing at the door.

The woman closed the door and quickly changed clothes with Cui'er, and the man in black outside came over and dragged Cui'er away.

After the woman came in, she began to walk in the direction of Qinghuanju, but before she could reach the side of the inner courtyard, she was reprimanded by the guards.

She ran to the corner and took out a piece of paper on her body, which turned out to be a topographical map of Yonghou Mansion, Qinghuanju is the main house, in the center, there are two rooms separated by two rooms on the front and back.

And the guards patrol back and forth, even if she has martial arts, she has no chance to sneak into the inner courtyard at all!

The woman thought about it, and came to a bedroom near the inner courtyard, and as soon as she broke in, seven or eight pairs of eyes stared at her suspiciously.

The maid who took the lead walked over and was puzzled, "You're not from our outer courtyard, are you, why haven't I seen you once?" ”

The woman tightened the dagger in her sleeve and said with a smile: "There are more than fifty people in our outer courtyard, how can my sister remember me, I was left behind, and I turned here to find it, I don't want a few guards to let me go back, let me stay in my sisters' house for a while!" ”

The other maids didn't think so, and sat on the bed talking by themselves, after all, they were also working when they were driven back into the house by the steward to stay.

The maid who took the lead also sat back, but her face was a little bad, and her tone was indifferent, "You can also see, we don't have your futon in the house, if you want to sleep, lie on that table, and it will be one night!" ”

The girl in front of her, looking at the face, is estimated to be a newcomer, and these old people naturally have to take a shelf!

The woman sat down on the table with a smile, her dagger already in her hand, and if she didn't act quickly, it would be too late!

Seeing that the maids were sleeping under the quilt one by one, the woman picked up the oil lamp next to her and threw it at the quilt, and the quilt immediately burst out of flames.

The maids shouted in fright, and the woman threw the burning quilt onto the curtain by putting out the fire, and the fire rose upward.

She hurriedly ran out to call someone to put out the fire, and all the guards patrolling around her were lured over.

The woman rushed to the small side door of the backyard in three or two steps, opened them, and several black-clothed people swished in, ran to the door of the inner courtyard, lit the tung oil they brought with them and smashed it on the door and the house.

There was chaos in the Hou Mansion, and the people guarding the inner courtyard had been ordered, and they had to guard the door when the sky fell outside!

Erkun asked people to splash water outside, and at the same time surrounded Qin Nianbai's house, and no one was allowed to approach!

Suddenly, with a bang, the door was slammed open, and several men in black with swords rushed in from outside.

Erkun shouted, "Listen to my orders, some of them will guard the house, and the other will follow me up to kill these thieves!" ”

As he spoke, he jumped out with a long knife and fought with the blacks.

Qin Nianbai inside was struggling between life and death, and there was a commotion outside, and she probably knew something.

But the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't do anything, but he exhausted his strength and fainted.

Bao's mother and Xiaoqing were frightened and at a loss, and hurriedly asked the doctor to come over to get a needle, and she woke up slightly.

"Madame is running out of energy now, and needs to replenish something, so you can quickly make some food!" The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously.

Xiao Qing ran to the front to open the door, but saw a burst of electric and flint fights in the yard, so frightened that he quickly closed the door, and ran over to Bao's mother in fear and said: "Bao's mother, it's not good, a group of assassins are coming, and Second Master Kun is leading people to fight them, what should I do?" ”

Mother Bao wiped Qin Nianbai's sweat while steasing her nerves, "Don't worry, let everyone do whatever they need to do as usual, there is Second Master Kun outside!" ”

Xiaoqing nodded, and led the two maids to open the door and run in the direction of the small kitchen.

After a while, they brought in a bowl of buttermilk and fed Qin Nianbai a few spoonfuls before they began to exert themselves!

At this time, the Yonghou Mansion was in flames, which had already attracted the attention of outsiders, and the He family, which was separated by two streets, also saw it.

As soon as He Yu was about to go to bed with Bai Zixuan, Bai Zixuan's personal maid ran in and shouted: "Oh no, Miss, Uncle, the fire over there in Yonghou Mansion is soaring, it seems to be on fire......"

As soon as He Yu panicked, he took the clothes on the rack and hurriedly ran out, Bai Zixuan also chased him out behind, He Yu was different, she showed infinite joy.

While giving the maid a look, she pulled He Yu and said: "My lord, don't worry, it is estimated that the Yonghou Mansion has already been in chaos, we still hurry up and let people bring the ladder and buckets to save people!" ”

He Yu pulled her, nodded solemnly, said thank you, and asked people to hurry up and prepare.

After a while, the maid came back and glanced at Bai Zixuan again.

He Yu and Bai Zixuan rode on their horses and led the people towards the Yonghou Mansion, but what he didn't know was that there was a team of people and horses dressed in the same clothes behind him.

When he arrived at Yonghou Mansion, he only heard a loud noise from inside, and he knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it.

"My lord, there's something big going on inside, it's useless, let people go directly up the ladder and go in!" Bai Zixuan said anxiously.

He had no choice but to let people go up the ladder, and after entering, he grabbed a running Xiao Si and shouted: "I am He Yu, the squire of the military department, and I will bring people to fight the fire!" ”

"Lord Hedan, there are assassins, go and save people!" The little guy said in fear that he originally wanted to run out and report the crime!

At this time, a maid ran over and wiped her tears in fear.

"Lord He, you came just in time, our Second Master Kun is capturing assassins in the inner courtyard, you go and help!"

After speaking, he glanced at Bai Zixuan with deep charm.

Bai Zixuan waved her hand and motioned for her to bring someone here.

In the corner, a woman dressed as a small maid changed into the clothes of a maid, buried her head low, and followed the woman to Bai Zixuan's side just now.

Here, He Yu asked some people to put out the fire, and the rest followed him to the inner courtyard and went up to help, only to see the bodies of several black-clothed people and guards lying on the ground.

Bai Zixuan grabbed He Yu's arm tightly, excited and resentful in her heart.

As soon as He Yu's people came up, the man in black was killed to the ground by three or two!

"Fortunately, Lord He came to the rescue, if something happens to Madame, the little one can't die!" Erkun knelt down, arched his hands, and said gratefully.

He Yu helped him up, "Second Master Kun, please get up quickly, Madame is fine!" ”

Bai Zixuan on the side also smiled and said, "Okay, you guys will be polite later, has Mrs. given birth?" ”

Erkun was vigilant, Bai Zixuan actually came, Lord He is a good one, Mrs. He has a grudge against his wife!
