Who would have instructed them to kill Xi'er?

Yan Zixi saw that Xiao Jingcong had finished all those black-clothed killers, so she hurriedly ran over and pulled Xiao Jingcong to ask long and short questions, with a worried look.

"Jingcong, how are you? Didn't get hurt, did you? ”

Xiao Jingcong put away his long sword, restrained the murderous aura on his body, turned around and smiled at Yan Zixi: "Don't worry, Xi'er, it's just a few bandit killers, don't be afraid, if they want to hurt me, they don't have the ability to do so." ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay" Yan Zixi patted her chest and let out a sigh, "Jingcong, do you know?" It scared the hell out of me...... Who are these killers? Why did you come and kill me? ”

Xiao Jingcong kept a calm face, shook his head, and replied: "Just now I caught a live mouth and asked him who instructed them, but that killer would rather commit suicide by taking poison than divulge half a sentence!" ”

"What, that's the case?"

"I'm afraid these killers are specially trained dead soldiers...... Xi'er, are you afraid? Xiao Jingcong grabbed Yan Zixi's hand and asked softly and comfortingly.

Yan Zixi smiled slightly, looked at Xiao Jingcong with affection, shook her head and replied, "Jingcong, I'm not afraid!" As long as you're there, I'm not afraid of anything! Because you're going to protect me! ”

"Xi'er ......"

Xiao Jingcong called softly, and then helped Yan Zixi back to the embankment.

"Xi'er, why don't I send you back first?"

"It's okay, I'm going to be with you, I'll leave when you leave!"

"Hey, what's the trouble with you?"

Xiao Jingcong let out a long sigh, and had no choice but to let Yan Zixi stay by his side.

……

It wasn't until the evening that Xiao Jingcong took Yan Zixi back to the Zhenguo General's Mansion after the officers and soldiers who built the river embankment finished their work.

After returning to the house, Yan Zixi was also thinking about the black-clothed killer she encountered on the river dam outside the city today.

Originally, she thought it was sent by the county lord of Qianqian.

However, when he heard Xiao Jingcong say that those killers were well-trained dead soldiers, he immediately dispelled this speculation.

Although the county lord of Qianqian hated herself, she only had Ah Qi's guard in her hands, and it was impossible for her to raise any dead killers, and those killers did not even let go of Xiao Jingcong, which further ruled out the possibility of being the county lord of Qianqian.

Because the county lord of Qianqian loves Xiao Jingcong so much, he will never allow his subordinates to do anything to hurt Xiao Jingcong.

But after excluding the Qianqian County Lord, Yan Zixi couldn't think of anyone else.

I haven't been in the capital for too long, and I haven't had a grudge against anyone, so who would kill me with all his might?

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi frowned again and asked, "Jing Cong, who do you say wants to kill me?" I live in a simple place on weekdays, and I haven't offended anyone? Who would want to put me to death? ”

"You really didn't offend anyone...... Xiao Jingcong lowered his head and pondered for a while, as if he had thought of something, and said tentatively: "Maybe it's not because you offended anyone......

"What really didn't offend anyone, because of whom? Jingcong, I'm confused about what you said, can you make it simpler? Yan Zixi didn't like to use her brain, Xiao Jingcong said it so complicated, like a tongue twister.

Xiao Jingcong smiled bitterly, and then continued: "I mean...... You were assassinated not because you offended someone and were retaliated against, but probably because you did something that touched someone's interests......"

"What have I done...... Whose interests are touched......"

Yan Zixi put Xiao Jingcong's words in her mouth and read them again, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she seemed to have a little clue...... Right?

"Forget it, don't think about it, you see, it's getting dark, let's go have dinner first!" Xiao Jingcong walked over, patted Yan Zixi lightly, and said to him with a smile. Even if you think about it, you can't think of anything, and no matter how you say it, you can't make the princess of the dignified general's mansion hungry.

Yan Zixi nodded, knowing that Xiao Jingcong was also for her own good and didn't want to be hungry.

"Okay, listen to our prince, let's go to dinner!" Yan Zixi took Xiao Jingcong's arm as she spoke, after all, there is always someone who has to take the initiative.

Yan Zixi was reborn, but she was not as reserved as ancient women, it was normal to hug and hug, not to mention that she and Xiao Jingcong had already become husband and wife, and they were husband and wife.

However, Xiao Jingcong looked a little embarrassed, seeing Yan Zixi so active, Xiao Jingcong was a little floating when she walked.

Yan Zixi almost laughed on the side, sometimes, Xiao Jingcong is also quite cute.

The two came to the table together, and Old Prince Xiao and Mrs. Xiao had already finished their meals, so the food on the table was also clean.

The maid who was cleaning up saw Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi walking in, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"The slave has seen the young general, and the young princess!"

"Get up, you go to the back kitchen to cook some food for the king and the princess, and deliver it quickly."

"Yes!"

The maid answered, put down the broom in her hand, and hurried to the back kitchen.

Xiao Jingcong beckoned Yan Zixi to sit down at the dining table, and after the two chatted for a while, the maid brought the prepared fresh meal.

But Yan Zixi doesn't have any appetite, she can eat a big bowl on weekdays, but today she picked up the bowl and chopsticks and put it down after eating a few bites. Reading.com

Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly, and asked with concern: "Xi'er, why don't you eat it?" Is the food not to your liking? I'll ask someone to make some new dishes right away! ”

"No need! Jingcong, it's me who has no appetite. ”

Yan Zixi stopped Xiao Jingcong and responded: "I don't know what's wrong, I just can't eat it, maybe I encountered a lot of things today, and I don't feel down-to-earth......

"But if you don't eat, you'll be hungry late at night?"

"Hungry? It's late at night, I'm already asleep, how can I be hungry? ”

"Who said you could say it tonight?" Xiao Jingcong raised her head, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and stared at Yan Zixi.

Yan Zixi's face turned red, and she immediately turned her head away, and asked stupidly: "Jingcong, ...... you What do you want to do at night? ”

"What don't you do? It's just something that couples should do! ”

"No way!"

"Can't do it? Why not? You have rejected this king? ”

Xiao Jingcong deliberately made a face and asked coldly.

"No, no, no...... Last time...... I still don't feel like I've been relieved by you......"

Yan Zixi blushed with shame, completely unaware of what she was talking about.

Xiao Jingcong didn't eat this set, and still couldn't help but say: "That king doesn't care, Xi'er can't serve this king well, it seems that this king can only marry another concubine!" ”

"Okay, you Xiao Jingcong, you dare!"

When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately came to her senses, and reached out to twist Xiao Jingcong's ears.

Xiao Jingcong hurriedly begged for mercy: "Lady spare your life, I'll laugh with you!" Xi'er, Xi'er, you know, I'm not that kind of person......"

"Hmph, you must have had this idea in your heart for a long time. It's just right, isn't there still a Xue Rou girl living in the house, so just take her in, isn't it just right to be your bed-warming concubine? ”

Yan Zixi rolled her eyes and said to Xiao Jingcong angrily.

Xiao Jingcong wanted to cry without tears, and hurriedly defended: "Xi'er, don't make fun of me, how could I do such a thing!" Miss Xue Rou is only temporarily living in our General's Mansion, and when the flood passes, I will help her find another place to live. ”

"Hey, it turns out that I want to raise a concubine outside! Lord Wang, you are so capable! Yan Zixi snorted coldly.

Xiao Jingcong was completely speechless at this time, feeling that no matter what he said, it seemed that Yan Zixi could find a breakthrough, and then hit with one blow.

"Okay, I'll admit defeat, Xi'er, just spare me! My husband can't say you ......"

"Hmph, it's good to know."

Yan Zixi smiled triumphantly, feeling that her appetite had suddenly improved, so she picked up a piece of apricot blossom cake on the plate and ate it.

As soon as she took a bite, Yan Zixi felt a little choked, and hurriedly scooped up another bowl of soup, and drank it "Gu Dong Gu Dong", wanting to swallow the apricot blossom cake.

But the next moment, Yan Zixi felt that something was wrong.

A look of pain suddenly appeared on her face, and she reached out and knocked over the porcelain bowl on the table, looking very uncomfortable.

Xiao Jingcong was watching from the side, he saw Yan Zixi's expression was painful and ugly, so he hurriedly came over and asked her what was wrong.

"Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Zixi pushed Xiao Jingcong away, then pointed to the large half pot of soup with her finger, and said in her mouth.

"Jingcong, this soup ...... This soup was poisoned...... Don't drink it! ”

"What?!"

Xiao Jingcong was suddenly shocked when he heard the sound.

He also understood that Yan Zixi didn't let himself get close because she wanted to see if she could resist the poison.

Yan Zixi hurriedly took out a small silver needle from the needle bag she was carrying, and pricked it on a certain acupuncture point in her lower abdomen, and the look on her face became a little better.

"Don't worry, I'...... I'm fine...... This poison is not very strong...... It shouldn't be fatal......"

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he was immediately furious, he really couldn't figure out who was so bold and dared to poison the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

"Haruka, get in here for me at once!"

Xiao Jingcong thought that these meals were all prepared by the maid Chunxiang just now, so the object of speculation fell on Chunxiang as soon as possible, and immediately shouted out of the door with anger.

Hearing Xiao Jingcong shouting to herself, the maid Chunxiang immediately put down the work in her hand and ran in in a panic.

"Major General, do you have any other orders?"

"Haruka, let me ask you, did you prepare tonight's meal alone?" Xiao Jingcong had a gloomy face, staring at Chunxiang in front of her, and asked coldly.

Those sharp eyes are like sharp swords, wanting to penetrate Haruka!
