Chapter 317: Revenge?
Xiao Huan's mind had no time to react, and he strode away, and ran straight towards Wang's carriage. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiao Huan had only one thought in his heart at this time: if he couldn't protect his wife well, he would go with his wife.
What is that thing, Xiao Huan can probably guess, Chang'an City has come to a lot of Taoist priests in recent years, his wife will occasionally go to the Taoist hall to burn two incense, Taoist priests in the Taoist temple often refine some pills, Xiao Huan has seen an alchemy Taoist priest was injured by the explosion of the Dan furnace, the culprit is the black powdery things in the Dan furnace, there are people with bad intentions in the rivers and lakes, they will steal these things from the Taoist temple, and the outside is made into a spherical shape with a thin patch, and they are thrown out after ignition. It can blast a small hole out of the very hard ground that is rammed, because the sound is very vector when it explodes, and it is also called a thunderbolt in the rivers and lakes.
This thing is also very rare in the Taoist temple, whether it can be made out, those Taoist priests are also unpredictable, so the thunderbolt is only heard of by ordinary people, if you really want to get it, it is not easy, not to mention that the Taoist temple can't give these things to outsiders at all, even if it is stolen, it is very difficult.
Although Xiao Huan knew in his heart that he might be injured by a thunderbolt when he rushed over now, Xiao Huan still did not hesitate.
With a bang, the black object exploded next to Wang's carriage, emitting a burst of white smoke, and at the same time as the smoke came out, Xiao Huan also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was not a thunderbolt.
The white smoke spread quickly, blocking everyone's sight, Xiao Huan still followed the position of the carriage in his memory, walking forward, and halfway, he was tripped and stumbled by the stick on the ground.
Finally touched the frame of the carriage, and at this time he could see something clearly in front of him, and seeing that there was no one on the frame, Xiao Huan hurriedly called: "Madam? ”
"I'm in the carriage, all right." Wang's voice came from the carriage.
Hearing Wang's voice, Xiao Huan finally put down his heart, got into the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage and entered the carriage, what to say this time, Xiao Huan will not leave Wang's side again.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the three guards around the carriage plus Xiao Ji all regained their sight, but the eight or nine assassins around them were indeed gone.
"Ma'am." Xiao Ji walked to the side of the carriage: "Madam, the slave and maid are not doing well, and I ask Mrs. to punish her." ”
"All gone?" Wang asked, sitting in the carriage.
"Yes."
"Well, send someone to search the surroundings and see if these people have left any clues." Wang commanded.
"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Ji and the three guards standing outside the carriage responded in unison.
Wang's face was very serious sitting in the carriage, and he thought carefully in his heart, these days there is nothing to do in the Hou Mansion, and he has no enemies or anything like that outside, so how could he meet an assassin on the way back to Chang'an from Zhuangzi in a dignified manner? If there was a grudge against himself in the past, it would be even more unreasonable, the current Hou Mansion is not something that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can provoke, but these people are really coming at themselves, which shows that these people are not afraid of the power of the Dongshan Hou Mansion at all, and they are not afraid of the power of Erxianzhuang.
In this way, there are only two left, one is the one who doesn't know which way the rivers and lakes do have an enmity with him, to the point of not dying, because only in this way will he assassinate himself regardless of everything, and the other is that there are people behind these people, and the people behind them are not afraid of the Dongshan Marquis Mansion at all.
No matter how you analyze it, the Wang family feels that the second one is more likely, because if you have grievances and want to take revenge, there are many opportunities before, so why wait until Jing'er returns to Chang'an and the power of the Hou Mansion is thriving? It is a person who understands and can figure out when it is safest to do it.
And looking at those assassins just now, one by one, they advanced and retreated to a certain extent, which was not at all a cooperation that the rivers and lakes could have, so with this point in mind, the Wang family dared to deny the first possibility.
The rest is that someone in Chang'an City wants to deal with Xuan Shijing, and Xuan Shijing is not easy to start, so he turns to deal with the Wang family, because the Wang family is Xuan Shijing's only relative in this world, if something happens to the Wang family, Xuan Shijing will definitely go crazy.
But who is it? Dare to be so blatant outside Chang'an City.
"Ma'am, shall we go?" Where Wang sat and pondered, the people in this group were waiting outside.
"What about those who went out to search? Are you back? Wang asked.
Xiao Huan nodded: "Madam, they are all back, but nothing has been found, those people are very cautious in composing poems, and they have not left any traces." ”
Hearing this, Wang's brows furrowed even tighter, such an assassin is not something that ordinary people can find, he is so meticulous and thoughtful, judging from today's attack, it is also premeditated, it seems that the person behind this has been planning since he and Jing'er came to Zhuangzi, but they didn't expect Jing'er to return to Chang'an alone on horseback.
"Tell me to go down and move on." Wang said.
"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Huan responded.
The huge team continued to march slowly towards Chang'an, and half an hour after the incident, Xuan Shijing, who was in the Shenhou Mansion, received the news.
"Master Hou! Master Hou! Big things are not good! Outside the hall, Yan Yi rushed over, shouting loudly as he ran.
"What's the same panic as ever." Xuan Shijing raised his head and looked at Yan Yi.
Yan Yi ran very quickly, and when he arrived at the hall and stood still, his chest was still breathing together, and it seemed that the distance he was running was not close.
"Master Hou, Madam met an assassin halfway through!" Yan Yi didn't have time to catch his breath, so he told Xuan Shijing about it.
"What?!" When Xuan Shijing heard this, he stood up with a thud, and the chair he was sitting on rubbed against the floor tiles like this, making a piercing business.
"Now my mother, how are they? Has anyone been hurt? Where's my mother? Where are you now? ”
A series of questions came out of Xuan Shijing's mouth.
"Master Hou, the accompanying guards and Xiao Huan Xiaoji girl repelled the assassins, and now the team is still walking towards Chang'an City, the speed is a little slow, this news is familiar with the people who saw our house outside the city to report quickly, the man also said that since the assassin was repulsed, the lady sat in the carriage, very few words, except for the order to continue the team to Chang'an, there was no sound of going abroad, it seemed to be frightened." Yan Yi said. (To be continued.) )
