Chapter 144: Ah Da assassinates Zhou Qi
Wu Yi returned to his room with the food, "Why are you still in my room?" ”
Zhou Qi sat upright, and said without hurry: "Don't you know? Li Bo has already chartered the entire inn, so, for today, all the rooms are mine. ”
Wu Yi didn't really want to drive Zhou Qi out, and had already put the meal on the table.
"Look, didn't you take food for two?"
"Aunt Li didn't ask me to bring it to you, I thought about it, you are worried all day long, you have worked hard, you have to work hard, I will also work hard, take pity on you."
"It's getting more and more unruly." Zhou Qi saw that Wu Yi had already started eating, so he emphasized again, "I can tell you, my family has big rules, and my mother's temper is not good......"
"Got it." Wu Yi took the meal in his mouth and said vaguely: "You have said it eight hundred times!" Hey, I wondered, did you follow your mother if you had a bad temper? But your temper is so bad, how bad can your mother's temper be? ”
"Talking about the royal family in vain, but you will be questioned."
Wu Yi pouted, sulking alone.
Zhou Qi stretched out his hand and patted Wu Yi's head, "Don't worry, your head, I think it's still very strong, and it won't fall off for a while." ”
Wu Yi glared at Zhou Qi while chewing his rice, "You said that your house is like a tiger's den in Longtan, I don't want to go." ”
"You're not going to make money?"
Wu Yi turned his head to look to the side, "Money still has to be earned, but I have to stay away from you in the future." ”
Zhou Qi said softly: "Actually, that day, you disappeared, and none of the people I sent found you. I thought, if I can't find it, how can I explain it to Li Laosi? In case we can't find it, we don't even have a formal goodbye. Wu Yi, at that time, I hadn't told you who I was. ”
"Who are you? You are who you are. ”
"Do you know that I'm a prince, so I'm not afraid at all?"
"Afraid of what?"
"Growing up, everyone was afraid of me. Because in the eyes of the world, the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and the son of heaven is angry and ambushes millions of corpses. And I, the son of the Son of Heaven, even if I am not a real dragon, I am only a tiger descending from the mountain. Tigers, but they can eat people. ”
Wu Yi suddenly laughed, and his body was crooked.
"What are you laughing at? You don't believe it? ”
"I believe, I believe." Wu Yi restrained her smile and sat upright.
"Lord Zhou, even if you are not a prince, you can eat people." Wu Yi seriously analyzed: "Look, you have such a bad temper, turning your face faster than turning a book, everyone is afraid of you, that's because of you, not because of your father, and not because you're a prince." ”
Zhou Qi was skeptical, "Yes...... Is it? ”
Wu Yi nodded solemnly, "Lord Zhou, oh no, Lord Prince, in fact, you look good when you smile, and it's also very good to be an official." It's just that sometimes, I don't know why you have to be a bad guy with a straight face, and people will stay away. ”
Zhou Qi was silent for a long time before he said leisurely: "That's why I envy you, so clear." ”
"Envy me? You prince envy me? Your Excellency, can you stop teasing me. Wu Yi seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a smile: "But you are right to envy me, I, Wu Yi, walk the world, what hardships have I not suffered?" But I've always been a good person. You are a bad person, envy me for being a good person, rightly so. Hey. ”
Zhou Qi was laughed at by Wu Yi, and he actually hugged his fist, "Thank you, let me, a bad person, have a chance to learn from good people." ”
Wu Yi patted Zhou Qi's shoulder and grinned: "Be polite, this is what we good people should do." ”
Zhou Qi stopped joking, and said seriously: "Wu Yi, we are going to leave tomorrow, I will ask you one last time, are you really willing to go back to Beijing with me and go to the palace to be a palace maid?" ”
Wu Yi said helplessly: "What else can I do if I don't go to the palace?" Wu Yi clenched his fist with one hand and knocked his head, "It's all my fault for being too stupid, if I were honest, I would still earn ten taels of silver a month in the Qian family." My lord, you don't know, but the old lady likes me very much, and maybe when the old lady is happy, it is possible to give me a little more raise. But now, I can't get along in Huizhou, and I, Wu Yi, can't stay in that good place that is so rich. Wu Yi raised her hands above her head, heartbroken.
"Lord Zhou, look at me, now my father is disabled. Although you promised to take care of my father and forgave me a debt of more than 10,000 taels of silver, I Wu Yi has grown so big, although I have been abducted and deceived, but I am true to my word, I said that I would pay you back, and I will definitely pay it back.
And my father, I can't always let the guard take care of me. When I make enough money, I'll pay you back first, and then I'll take my dad over.
He used to tell me that Huizhou City is so rich that it is very expensive, but what about the capital is unspeakably expensive.
It would be good if we could settle down in the capital in the future. ”
"I told you that you don't have to pay back, and how your father wants to live, and how you want to choose, are two different things."
"I don't have a choice." Wu Yi was a little impatient, "I'm not a young lady, where to work is not to do it, I can have a safe and stable place to live, and when the time comes, I will issue a monthly example." What am I waiting for? Besides, it's in the palace, you have lived there since you were a child, of course you don't think it's anything, but I think, in the palace, it must be splendid, right? It's the kind of thing that makes people look like they're very rich, hehe, of course I have to go to such a good place. ”
"That's it."
"Wait, you won't be, you don't want to take me there, do you? Lord Zhou? ”
"I did think about it before, or I won't take you there."
"You!" Wu Yi pointed at Zhou Qi excitedly, but heard Zhou Qi say: "The affairs in the palace are complicated, although I plan to take you by my side, but sometimes, the world is unpredictable, and I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you." ”
"Stop, stop, I think I'd better stay away from you and be safer. Besides, I'm very likable, and when I get to the palace, hehe, the food is all good, and the clothes are beautiful. If I become a palace maid and go out, who dares to bully me. Wu Yi stood up, stepped on the chair with one foot, and took it out of his arms, holding it in his hand, as if he was holding a brand, "I took out the token from my arms, those bad people must be frightened!" Wu Yi laughed.
Zhou Qi also laughed, thinking: This Wu Yi seems to have thought of a lot of beautiful things.
"Knock knock."
"What?" Zhou Qi asked.
"Send hot water to the guest officer."
Wu Yi smiled and bent over, but still picked up the kettle on the table with one hand and walked towards the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the hairs on Wu Yi's body stood up.
"Ahh Wu Yi exclaimed, subconsciously threw the kettle out, turned around and ran, "My lord, run!" ”
The man at the door dodged all of a sudden, and rushed into the room with a short sword in his hand, slashing at Wu Yi's arm.
Wu Yi was suddenly attacked, his feet were unstable, and he fell to the ground.
"Whew!" With a thud, a crossbow arrow was fired, and the short sword in the assassin's hand blocked the crossbow arrow, and the "ding-long" crossbow arrow fell to the ground.
Wu Yi was crawling on the ground, and the reason why she screamed was because it was none other than Ah Da who was standing at the door.
Wu Yi had already climbed to where Zhou Qi was, she knelt on her knees, her uninjured arm reached the tabletop, using the table as a shield, and only poked out half of her head to observe secretly.
"Xiuxiu......" Zhou Qi didn't give Ah Da a chance to enter the house at all, but Ah Da didn't care, even if the crossbow arrow hit his body, Ah Da didn't know the pain. The crossbow arrows in Zhou Qi's hand, although they have been transformed, can only be loaded with five at a time, and when they are reloaded, Ah Da has already rushed in, and the short sword is pointed directly at Zhou Qi.
"Call someone!"
"Huh?"
"Call someone!"
Wu Yi finally reacted, stood up and shouted outside the door, "There are assassins, come quickly, there are assassins!! ”
Zhou Qi had already stood up from the chair, and Wu Yi retreated again and again, the two of them were against the window, Wu Yi wanted to open the window, but found that the window was locked from the outside.
Ah Da showed a sly smile and pressed forward step by step.
"Help! Help me! There are assassins, there are assassins! Master Li, Brother Peace! Chain, Aunt Li! Come on! ”
When Wu Yi shouted a little desperately, He Ping slashed at him and fought with Ah Da.
Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed Wu Yi, "How is it?" ”
Wu Yi was so nervous that she didn't feel any pain.
Zhou Qi looked at the assassin's situation and asked Wu Yi, "How is your arm?" ”
"Huh? I'm fine. ”
Wu Yi glanced at it, and the blood had already clouded his clothes.
Zhou Qi saw that Li Bo also came with his guards, and the assassin could not escape, so he relieved himself.
Zhou Qi held Wu Yi with both hands, "Come, come here." ”
Wu Yi was helped to the bed by Zhou Qi, the weapons were still tinkling, but Zhou Qi was like no one around, carefully observing Wu Yi's wounds.
Zhou Qi looked at it for a long time and felt that something was wrong, so he took out a short dagger from his boots and picked off Wu Yi's sleeve.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Don't move!"
Wu Yi let Zhou Qi check it, but her face turned red.
Wu Yi comforted Zhou Qi and said, "It's okay, take some medicine, and you'll be fine in two days." ”
Zhou Qi felt that he was not optimistic, and he suddenly remembered, "How did you know that he was an assassin just now?" ”
"I saw him, it was at Boss Zhang's house, he wanted to kill me, so I ran away."
"What?" Zhou Qixuan stood up, "Zhang Hai? ”
"yes."
Zhou Qi felt that his scalp was numb, and something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"Wu Yi, Zhang Hai has obviously escaped, why did he take Zhang Guang to break into my trap desperately? Wu Yi, I have always felt that Zhang Hai is not here to die. ”
"What do you mean?"
"They pretended to assassinate Zhang Ling, and both of them died, so I let my guard down and sent such a person whom I had never seen before to assassinate me. But this man took a broken sword to kill me? ”
Wu Yi didn't understand, "What are you talking about?" Are you a suspect who didn't kill you? ”
Zhou Qi felt that this was strange, and shouted at everyone, "Keep your mouth alive!" ”
