Chapter 19: Assassination
The next day, in the fluttering of colorful flags, the envoys of the North Snow finally ushered in their homecoming day.
Wuguo and Chengyang stood side by side, and after a polite exchange with the mission, they let the eldest uncle talk to them.
The ceremonial officer sang beside him, and Father Qi also led the team to see the mission leave.
Zong Qin suddenly trembled, and something leaked out of his hand, and before anyone could take a closer look, he was taken by the Zheng Envoy.
The two sides had a farewell ceremony, and Wuguo didn't delve into what had just happened, after all, she really didn't have a good impression of that Zong Qin.
Just as he said the blessing with a smile, he turned around and got into the carriage that he had led, followed by two carriages, which were loaded with gifts arranged by Emperor Ying Nan and specialties of Ying Nan.
Seeing the team drifting away, Wuguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the eldest uncle smiled helplessly at the little girl's behavior.
Since that day, the eldest uncle has also thought a lot, although she was the one who caused him to leave his hometown for many years, but she is also the one who has protected him in this Yingnan Palace all these years.
Not to mention that she did it unintentionally back then, it was deliberate, so what, with his treatment in the Beixue Palace, it is a luxury to be able to live well, of course, except that she can't be by her mother's side......
Father Qi followed the army step by step, and after walking a few hundred meters, he retracted his steps, hugged his fists in the air, and signaled that he would be sent here.
The whole process was a proud gesture, which made me squint.
Suddenly, a group of men in black flashed out and surrounded the legation.
Wuguo wrinkled his eyebrows and watched as Father Qi's army quickly met the enemy and fought with the group of black-clothed people.
Three times and two clicks, I saw that the man in black was about to finish dealing with it.
The envoy suddenly jumped out of the sedan chair, he pointed to the gate of Yingnan, trembled and said, "It turns out that Yingnan beat this idea." ”
His beard shook and shook, and before everyone could react, he suddenly turned around and crashed into the carriage.
A group of literati also hit the carriage of the carriage, swallowed the medicine, and the poison that was too low to be distributed, rushed directly on the assassin's sword that was still standing beside him.
Zong Qin's upper and lower teeth trembled, his eyes were full of horror as he looked at the Qi family's team and the group standing at the city gate, screamed, and hurriedly turned around and left.
Father Qi was confused, and with a flick of the long sword in his hand, he stabbed the man directly from the back.
The body that was penetrated fell forward by force, and finally startled a lot of yellow sand.
Seeing this, the assassin next to him fought in the direction of Qi's father, and after walking less than two steps, he was penetrated by three or four Qi family troops.
Everything was in the blink of an eye, the mission was wiped out, the assassins were all dead, and all this happened at the foot of the city of Yingnan. As he spoke, a group of people swallowed the medicine in front of the two of them.
Wuguo swallowed his saliva, his eyes sparkling but full of fear.
This is the first time she has seen a murderous scene, even though there is a change of power and a harem, this is also the first time she has seen blood, obviously, she was shocked.
Cheng Yang turned around and covered his hand on Wuguo's eyes, and his eyes motioned for Hongdou to take people away, and he looked at Father Qi coldly.
The eldest uncle had flat eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a mocking smile, he saluted Cheng Yang, and after receiving the answer, he returned to the Ranlin Hall with a group of "escorts".
Although his mother concubine was a slave, she used to have a real good time with her father, and she was the only concubine in Northern Snow City who had two princes.
The family was backward, the Northern Snow Emperor crossed the river and shouted, the mother concubine was beaten into slavery, and a concubine was doing slave work in the Huanxi Bureau.
The eldest uncle shook his hand, recalling the experience of the same mother as a child, and his eyes couldn't help but be full of ice.
Their father liked Fahrenheit, and when his status was stable, he did not hesitate to marry someone into the palace and let him favor the harem.
But Hua's personality is a little woman, who wants to be a strategist, secretly controls the whole Hua family, and desperately blows the pillow wind to his father.
Ying Nan just doesn't want to fight, it doesn't mean that he can't fight, if he fights to the death, but for half a month, Beixue will be scattered under Ying Nan Mo Yuan's attack.
The Qi clan is good friends with Beixue, and this assassination is probably arranged a long time ago.
As for the purpose, it's right that he, the son of a waste concubine, is right.
He clenched his fists and couldn't help but secretly curse Fahrenheit for being stupid.
After going back, Wuguo sat in the courtyard, his trembling hands showing the fear in his heart.
The red bean maid forcibly suppressed the movement in her heart and poured a cup of tea for Wuguo, but after seeing the red leaves in it, she suddenly ran to the side and vomited.
The killing scenes at the city gates were actually quite brutal.
Some of them were inserted into the swords before they could be seen, and some of them were bleeding from the collision of the carriage......
Wuguo clasped his fingers, holding back the feeling in his heart and thinking back to what had just happened.
That Zong Qin was obviously killed by Father Qi, and there was an assassin next to that person, and Father Qi could completely explain that he was too far away to make a mistake.
It was also because of this mistake that Ying Nan wanted to kill the envoy.
The two countries are at war, and they do not come to the enemy.
It's a regulation that both her world and this world have.
Now that the two countries are not at war, one of the envoys of Beixue is lying naked at the gate of the city, and this Beixue challenge is very insidious.
Although the treasury of Yingnan is insufficient, there is still a surplus, not to mention that the country still has good generals, soldiers are still stationed, and the two countries are at war, she will not worry about these, just the eldest uncle......
Wuguo bit her lower lip, and there was a faint irritability in her eyes.
Looking up at the sun hanging in the sky, he spoke to the maid behind him.
"You say, if the two countries fight, will he become the target of public criticism?"
The maid behind her didn't answer, she wasn't annoyed, and when Hongdou cleaned up, she got up and dragged her hand to the hall.
Leaving his homeland, he was abandoned, and he had no right to inquire about the situation in his homeland, but in the end, because of the war between the two countries, life began to be precarious.
Wuguo reached out to block the sun and looked through the gap in his fingertips. It seems that she also has her responsibility.
She withdrew her hand, pursed her lips irritably, and turned back to her palace for a long time.
Hongdou followed him in, and waited until Wuguo's expression was relieved before handing over a piece of red bean cake.
She walked out of the palace and looked at the courtyard with a pale face, and it took a long time to walk to the city gate.
At the city gate, Cheng Yang looked at the figure of Hongdou coming, and then looked at the scene that had not yet been cleaned up, so he quickly stepped forward and stopped the person in place.
He looked the situation of the red bean up and down, and said for a long time: "Is there something going on with Xiao Wuguo?" ”
Hongdou shook his head, and it took a long time before he said, "Your Highness seems to be worried. ”
Cheng Yang frowned, he grew up with Wuguo since he was a child, of course he knew what this worry meant.
Thinking about the situation between the two countries, it took a long time before he said: "I will go to my father and ask Wuguo not to see that kid for the time being." ”
Then, looking at the red beans, he raised his hand and was a violent shudder, and looked at the little girl with satisfaction covering her head and being aggrieved, and then said: "How can I see you so timid when you are transferring troops to follow me on weekdays." ”
After speaking, he left with a smile, leaving Hongdou alone in the same place.
