Chapter 60: Assassinated in the middle of the night
The eldest grandson, Changqing, entered the house, turned off the lights, and groped to the bed to lie down by the meager moonlight. In a daze, the eldest grandson Changqing vaguely smelled a faint aroma in the air, and then the person fell asleep.
"Qing'er, Qing'er, wake up! Wake up! ”
In a trance, the eldest grandson Changqing seemed to hear a woman's urgent cry, and she woke up from her dream in shock. Through the faint moonlight outside, the eldest grandson Changqing caught a glimpse of a sharp sword stabbing at him. The speed of the sword was so fast that it was about to stab her throat, and the eldest grandson Changqing quickly rolled on the bed, turned over and rolled under the bed.
"Meiyu!"
The eldest grandson, Changqing, shouted loudly while dodging the sword. Fortunately, she had learned a few self-defense techniques with Xuanwu, although the other party was skillful, but she was still able to dodge a few times, but gradually, she was a little powerless.
The other party obviously didn't expect that the eldest grandson Changqing, who had been drugged, still had such a sensitive reaction, and she still had the strength to shout and dodge. lest her shouting attract others, the other party's sword, and attack the door of the eldest grandson Changqing more quickly. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something beside the bed, and the eldest grandson Changqing immediately reacted, exerting all his strength, kicking the stool next to the bed to the other party.
The sound of fighting in the house soon alarmed the Meiyu next door. Mei Yu is a martial artist, her internal strength is not weak, her senses are sharper than others, and her sleep is already very shallow, and the shouts and fights next door woke her up as soon as possible.
Mei Yu secretly screamed in her heart, and quickly ran to the outside of the eldest grandson Changqing's house, raised her foot and kicked the door open. Seeing that a sharp sword refracted by the moonlight was stabbing towards the eldest grandson Changqing, Mei raised her foot and kicked, and the embroidered shoes on her feet happened to hit the sword, the sword edge was slightly off, and the eldest grandson Changqing took the opportunity to roll to the side and successfully avoided the sword blade.
Mei Yu stepped forward, quickly pulled the eldest grandson Changqing behind her, and pushed her out of the house, while Mei Yu herself faced the other party's sword and slashed it with one palm. With a strong internal force, the palm wind forced the man back several steps. That person obviously didn't expect that the maid of the eldest grandson Changqing was actually a hidden master! After a few rounds, the opponent is obviously weak! The man was not in love with war, and seeing that he didn't want anything good here, he glared at her hatefully, turned around, tiptoed, and flew away.
"Eyebrows! Have you suffered? ”
Seeing that the masked man had left, the eldest grandson Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to check if Meiyu was injured.
"It's okay, it's not my opponent yet!"
Mei Yu clapped her hands, straightened her dress, and didn't care much.
Seeing that the eyebrows were fine, the eldest grandson Changqing was relieved. It's just that...... How could anyone come and assassinate her in the middle of the night? In this Dongming, she is not familiar with her life, and she has never had any deep hatred with others, except for Ruan Nanyan, who came to make trouble before, there is only the county lord of Shuyao who injured her.
Obviously, Yun Shuyao is impossible, although Yun Shuyao is arrogant, but she dares to love and hate, and she does things straightforwardly, which can be regarded as relatively straightforward, and she is not a person who can send someone to assassinate Changqing in the middle of the night. Is this Ruan's family...... Since Ruan Nanyan's marriage to Chu Xiuyuan is now a sure thing, at this juncture of the wedding, he must not want to regenerate the side matter. Last time, Ruan Nanyan brought people to make trouble, and now the entire Dongming capital has spread all over the city, saying that the eldest lady of the Ruan family is immoral and jealous, and now she is being punished by her father in the Ruan Mansion.
In this way, it is impossible to be a person sent by the Princess Mansion or a person sent by the Ruan Mansion, so who will it be who wants the life of Changsun Changqing? From the fierce and ruthless sword edge of the person just now, the eldest grandson Changqing sensed a strong killing intent, that person really wanted to kill her!
It's just that Meiwei's attitude also made the eldest grandson Changqing wonder, from beginning to end, Meiyu never asked her why someone assassinated her, and what kind of enemies she had made. It seems that someone assassinated her, as expected!
"Miss Eldest Sun!"
Wuxian suddenly appeared in embarrassment, standing in the courtyard, and by the moonlight, he saw at a glance that the door of the eldest grandson Changqing's house was kicked open, and the mess in the house.
"Innocent? It's the middle of the night, you're ...... Robbed? ”
The eldest grandson Changqing, who had just experienced a catastrophe and almost died, was still in the mood to joke with innocent jokes, and the eyebrows on the side were obviously surprised by her situation at this time: This little girl is really relieved!
"Miss Eldest Sun, are you alright?"
Traceless then flew in as well, apparently also in a state of embarrassment.
"What are you doing...... Got robbed together? No, you can't! You two are one of the best masters in Dongming, who would beat you so badly? ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, obviously realized it later, and only then did he realize that something was wrong. Innocent and traceless appeared in Nianqingwu in the middle of the night at the same time, and they were both embarrassed, obviously something happened! And they asked if she was okay, and it was clear that they were worried that something would happen to her!
"Just ...... But someone has invaded Nianqingwu? ”
Traceless hesitated for a moment and asked bluntly.
"How do you know? Someone took advantage of my sleep and probed into my house, but fortunately, Mei Yu came in time, but he never let that person succeed. ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, told him calmly.
"Miss Eldest Sun, you also know that Wuxian and I are responsible for secretly protecting Miss every day on the orders of our master. In the second half of the night, a group of people came, all of whom were strong in martial arts. Even if I joined forces with Innocent, I only ended up with a tie with them. Strangely enough, they did not like to fight, and after a whistle, they all retreated. Only then did we realize that we had fallen for the trick and hurried back...... It's delayed! ”
Traceless was annoyed, and felt more and more that he was faint, and he didn't even see such a little trick.
"Tell me about the two of you, why you are always deceived and taken care of in the past...... Forget it, I'm fine, am I? You don't have to blame yourself too much! ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, waved his hand at the two of them, not paying much attention.
"It's the two of me who were negligent, Miss Eldest Sun forgives me!"
Traceless and colorful, full of guilt.
"That's it! It's okay, you're tired for half the night, so let's go rest for a while! ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, waved at them, as if he didn't want to say much to them, and turned around and walked towards the house.
Innocent and Traceless glanced at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Meiyu had been standing quietly and listening to them, until the eldest grandson Changqing turned on the lights in the house, and she slowly stepped into the house.
The eldest grandson, Changqing, entered the house, turned on the lamp, and the bright lights illuminated the mess all over the house. She bent down to straighten all the tables and stools that had fallen on the ground, made herself a pot of tea, sat in the room, and tasted it slowly. Ignore the eyebrows who stood aside and wanted to speak. The eldest grandson Changqing was silent, her eyebrows were a little cramped, she didn't know what the eldest grandson Changqing was thinking, and she was secretly thinking about how to open her mouth to explain to the eldest grandson Changqing that she knew kung fu.
The eldest grandson Changqing was thinking of the woman's voice that called him in his dream. The voice was familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before. The eldest grandson Changqing clenched the cup in his hand, frowning, but he couldn't remember anything.
"Miss, Miss!"
Seeing that the eldest grandson Changqing had not spoken for a long time, Meiyu was worried in her heart, and saw that her eyes seemed to be a little erratic, so he stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of her eyes. The eldest grandson, Changqing, came back to his senses.
"Huh? It's an eyebrow! It's okay, you go and rest! I'm tired for most of the night, so let's talk about it tomorrow! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing raised his hand and waved at Meiyu, and when Meiwu saw this, although she had doubts, it was inconvenient to ask more, so she had to turn around and go back to the room.
"Changqing, Changqing......"
As soon as Mei Yu left here, Chu Xiuyuan's urgent voice came from outside the door. The eldest grandson, Changqing, raised his head and saw Chu Xiuyuan walking quickly in front of him.
"Changqing, are you hurt?"
Chu Xiuyuan hurriedly rushed to the side of the eldest grandson Changqing, looking up and down, his eyes full of anxiety.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been worried, Changqing is fine, don't bother you!"
The eldest grandson, Changqing, spoke lightly, polite and alienated between his words.
Chu Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and saw that she was a little messy except for her clothes and hair, but there was nothing big to do next to her, so he relieved himself.
"Things have been complicated in the house lately...... I was negligent! ”
"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wedding is imminent, and busyness is inevitable. The people's daughter is fine, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be overly caring, so as not to cause criticism from others. ”
"Changqing ......"
Chu Xiu saw her so cold, and his heart ached slightly. Since he knew that he was about to marry Ruan Nanyan, although the eldest grandson Changqing often spoke sarcastically about him, and his attitude was also very cold, he was not so angry. She called him "His Royal Highness the Prince", does it mean that the last bit of affection she has for herself has dissipated?
"I want to ask, Your Highness, you will not say. You must know a thing or two about this tonight. I won't ask, and I don't want to ask again, so rest assured, Your Highness. Since the day you forced me back to Dongming, I have long put life and death on the line! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing paused, and the afterglow seemed to sweep towards Chu Xiuyuan inadvertently, and she keenly noticed that in addition to remorse in Chu Xiuyuan's eyes, there was also ...... A hint of panic? Maybe she was dazzled, the eldest grandson Changqing thought secretly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please go back! In the middle of the night, if it is found that His Royal Highness is still in the boudoir of the people, I am afraid that people will accuse him. ”
After that, the eldest grandson Changqing didn't say much, and seeing that Chu Xiuyuan had no intention of leaving, she turned around and walked towards the room next door.
Mei Yu had just returned to the room, and before she could close the door, she saw the eldest grandson Changqing come in with a bad face.
"Miss, what are you?"
"Didn't you kick the door of my house? No, there's no place to sleep, and you're going to die with me today! ”
After the eldest grandson Changqing finished speaking, without waiting for Meiwei to react, he took off his shoes, lifted the quilt, lay down, covered the quilt, closed his eyes, and his movements were neat and neat, all in one go.
When Mei Yu returned to the house, she didn't hear Chu Xiuyuan's anxious shouts, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, knowing that she was having trouble with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again.
