Chapter Twenty-Six: The Female Assassin

King Yu went back to his house and invited the eldest lady to go, so that he could get married on a certain day. Old man Wang Bo asked King Yu to go first, saying that he would bring a dowry later, and he would inevitably catch up on the day of the wedding.

A convoy slowly drove out of Huining Mansion. King Yu has his own guards, Ma Chao is with the team, and Wang Wu is a general. In winter, this kind of march, the military generals are more bitter, although they are heavily dressed, they need to ride horses.

Families usually go in a carriage wrapped in quilts, and although the car is ventilated, it is lit with a stove, so that people just want to sleep. The march was more boring than imagined, Ma Chao squatted in the carriage, opened the curtain from time to time, teased Wang Wu a few words, and after Wang Wu got angry, he lay down comfortably and read the horse scripture.

This time he didn't bring Miss Moyu, Ma Chao knew that his task was too dangerous, if he was discovered, Wang Wu would protect himself, he would be a burden, and he wouldn't dare to involve Miss Moyu.

After walking for two or three days in this way, he suddenly heard the sound of weapons, Ma Chao lifted the curtain and saw that a group of horse bandits were attacking a caravan.

In a short time, the king gave the order, and the convoy participated in the battle. As soon as the horse bandits saw that they were regular soldiers, they beat them a few times, shouted black words, and ran away without a trace.

The rescued people came to thank him, and Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and it turned out to be the Xueyue girl from Chunhualou. King Yu already likes Xueyue, and since Xueyue girl is in danger, he arranges to pass with the convoy.

Later, Ma Chao handed over the post and gossiped in the carriage of the Snow Moon girl.

It turned out that a medicinal herb merchant who traveled between Huining Mansion and Xianping Mansion saw Xueyue's beauty and spent a lot of money to redeem Xueyue, wanting to dedicate Xueyue to Lord Yin of Xianping Mansion.

Unexpectedly, on the way to Xianping Mansion, I met horse bandits. Xueyue also said that she was a weak woman, and she had been in the middle of the wind and moon for a long time, and she couldn't protect herself, so it was better, and being a concubine for Fu Yin was a blessing from her previous life.

Although Xueyue said it lightly, the resentful appearance of her beautiful eyes and tears really made Ma Chao feel distressed. Whether it is the Jin Kingdom or the Southern Song Dynasty, women are vassals, and Ma Chao can't see one and save the other.

Ma Chao was idle, so he said a few limericks, and after making Xue Yue happy, he left. When I left, I secretly felt sorry for myself, Xueyue's beauty was a little more beautiful than Mo Yu, and I couldn't say the same, Mo Yu was weak and willow helped the wind, and the eldest lady was heroic, and Xueyue was rich and pleasant, especially the one that hooked the soul of men.

Because of the delay, the convoy had to be stationed in a desert village. King Yu didn't want to reveal his identity, so he used the name of a wealthy merchant to pay some copper money at the post station, which was regarded as a nightstay.

In the evening, Ma Chao heard a commotion outside, the whole courtyard was whirring and drinking, and many people were shouting to catch the assassin. Where did the assassins come from in this little place?

Ma Chao didn't want to go out, but there was a knock on the door outside, and a few guards opened the door, and when they saw Ma Chao, they smiled and said that King Yu was assassinated by the assassin, and the assassin ran here and disappeared.

Ma Chao was very unhappy when he heard this, thinking that King Yu must suspect that he was a murderer, and he couldn't say anything, so he said a few perfunctory words to the guards, saying that he was dressed properly, and went to ask the prince for peace.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a man in black standing in the house, and before he could shout for help, he was covered by the man in black, and as soon as the two struggled, the man in black fainted.

Ma Chao sighed, this sad assassin. He looked at the assassin who fell to the ground, and he was quite happy in his heart, handing over this assassin just in time to make a meritorious service, so that he could get close to the king of Yu.

Looking at the Assassin, the Assassin was slightly short in stature and looked stubby. Ma Chao really couldn't guess that there was such a character in the accompanying team. The more I don't know, the more curious I am, the more itchy. Seeing the assassin faint there, he couldn't help but lift the assassin's veil.

At this glance, I was startled, this seemingly sturdy short man turned out to be Xueyue.

At this time, Ma Chao didn't care about the difference between men and women, and turned Xue Yue over to see that there was a broken arrow stuck in his waist. Fortunately, Xue Yue wanted to disguise herself as a man, and a lot of cotton cloth was wrapped around her slender waist. If it weren't for this, the broken arrow on his back would have killed Xue Yue.

At this time, Ma Chao heard the footsteps outside again, and the guards just now came back, in a hurry, Ma Chao hurriedly carried Xueyue to the bed, covered the black clothes with the quilt, and only showed his face, untying the man's hairstyle, and spreading it fluffily.

As soon as he finished, the guards began knocking on the door again.

Ma Chao hurriedly went to open the door, bent his waist and said to the guard, I heard that an assassin frightened him, and he was really shocked in the house just now, and the guard said that the assassin disappeared when he ran here, and he wanted to search the room, Ma Chao's face was embarrassed, and he said to the guard, in fact, he was having a tryst with the girl Xueyue.

The guards listened and looked into the house, and found the Snow Moon girl sleeping on the bed with her hair scattered. These guards have been instructed not to provoke Ma Chao, and when they see this situation, they also know why Ma Chao is embarrassed. Just say I'm looking for ......

As soon as the guards left, Ma Chao came to King Yu's residence in his clothes and greeted King Yu. The eldest lady was also there, her face was heavy. Ma Chao knelt on the ground and said that he was not good at guarding.

King Yu smirked and said that it had nothing to do with Ma Chao, it was his own carelessness. Ma Chao asked what kind of person was stabbing, and King Yu said that it was a short man, but he was hit by an arrow in the back and should not be able to run out of this village.

After King Yu finished speaking, he saw that Ma Chao was still kneeling on the ground, so he asked Ma Chao to calm down. Ma Chao couldn't get up, and said that he would let King Yu forgive his sins. Ma Chao said that he had a tryst with Xueyue Girl, but he was bumped into because of the assassin. Originally, Miss Xueyue was dedicated by a pharmacist to Lord Yin of Xianping Mansion, and she was not robbed by herself, for fear that she would be blamed by Lord Yin for this woman who was not worth a copper coin.

When King Yu heard Ma Chao say a copper coin, he felt uncomfortable, and secretly felt that this was Ma Chao threatening him, but in the current situation, King Yu had to compromise.

Now the eldest lady is still sitting next to her, looking at it coldly. King Yu couldn't express his love for Xueyue, not to mention listening to Ma Chao's meaning, the two had already rolled on the same bed. King Yu felt that this matter was quite aggrieved, and there was a feeling of breaking his teeth and swallowing it in his stomach.

However, on his face, he still said with a smile that he was just a woman who was in the wind and snow, and he would make the decision for Lord Fu Yin for this little thing, and he would not blame Ma Chao.

Ma Chao kowtowed and thanked him, saying that he would not disturb King Yu's rest, and left. When I returned to the residence, Xue Yue hadn't left yet, and I felt that something was wrong, so I lifted the quilt and saw that the mattress was stained red with blood.
