Chapter 181: The Assassination of Moheyuan
At the end of the day, Peng Mo sat behind the desk and looked at Jin Xiuchen's letter, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the corners of his mouth outlined a soft smile.
Youmeng stood on the side and said with a respectful smile: "My subordinates have told His Highness about the things in the palace and what the master said, but His Highness was dragged by King Gong to drink at the moment, and it was difficult to get out for a while, so I wrote this letter and asked my subordinates to bring it back to the master." ”
Peng Mo lowered his eyes and looked at the letter, smiled lightly when he heard the words, nodded and said, "I know, you go down and rest." ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired. The Nightmare head retreated.
Peng Mo read the letter again, then folded it and put it away, looked at the white begonia on the corner of the table, his eyes were shining, and he smiled: "Jin Xiuchen, after this matter is over, the matter between me and you is half of the success!"
"Qiang"
The sound of sharp objects colliding.
Born in the General's Mansion, Peng Mo was no stranger to such a voice, and was shocked, got up and came to the window.
I saw that under the starry night, the four of them crossed the wall into the courtyard, the swords in their hands were shining with silver coldness, the gusts of wind blew, and the courtyard was full of murderous aura.
Before she could make countermeasures, she saw the four people in the courtyard fighting, and the sharp weapons in their hands made a sharp "zheng" and "bang" sound.
She looked at the four of them in surprise, and saw that three of them were dressed in uniform green robes, and the other was dressed in pure black night clothes.
Three green-robed men surrounded the men in night clothes, and their moves were in unison.
The man in the night clothes was very difficult to fight against the three of them, and he wanted to escape after finding a direction, but he was stopped, looked back and said ruthlessly: "Who are you?"
The green-robed man at the head said coldly: "The one who killed you!"
The man in the night clothes knew that he would not escape death today, but thinking that the mission had not yet been successful, he had a ruthlessness in his heart, looking at the shadow on the window, he moved quickly, came behind the three men, and threw out the long sword in his hand when facing the enemy, and the direction of the long sword was Peng Mo behind the window!
And after he threw out the long sword, the biggest flaw in his move was revealed, and he was killed in an instant!
But his sword had already flown out, and the three green-robed men looked shocked and hurriedly rushed to grab the sword.
Peng Mo watched the long sword strike through the crack in the window, she was slightly stunned, and her ears seemed to hear the sound of breaking wind and the coldness of the sword body.
Seeing that the long sword was about to pierce the thin window paper, there was a "clang" sound.
Hotaru suddenly appears and knocks the sword away!
She heard the sound of a fight outside and hurriedly ran in, and when she saw the scene just now, she quickly struck away the long sword in a panic.
Looking at the long sword that had fallen in the flower garden, she asked in a lost voice, "What's the matter?"
"The princess is still in the room. The man in charge also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liuying had intercepted the long sword.
Liuying wiped the cold sweat from her head, and just as she wanted to step forward and knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
"Master, it's a dereliction of duty on the part of your subordinates. Liuying knelt on the ground, her tone was full of self-blame, she should not leave an inch!
After the three green-robed men saw Peng Mo, they put away their swords and knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and said: "The subordinates have derelicted their duties and disturbed the princess, and the princess has atoned for her sins!"
Peng Mo looked at Liuying, then at the three of them, and frowned, "Who are you?"
Looking at Liuying's attitude towards the three of them, Peng Mo already had an answer in her heart, but she still didn't dare to say Jin Xiuchen's name easily.
"The subordinates belong to the Chenwang Mansion, and they are ordered by His Royal Highness to protect the safety of the princess inside and outside the palace. The man in charge replied respectfully.
Peng Mo looked at the dead corpses on the ground, his eyes were cold, listening to the noise in the mansion and the fire outside the courtyard wall getting closer and closer, he frowned and said, "Get up, clean up, don't let people see the clues." He turned back to his room.
Liuying got up and followed Peng Mo into the room.
The three green-robed men quickly cleaned up the scene and flew out as the firelight came outside the Ink Lotus Garden.
"Mo'er, Mo'er.... Peng Hao stood outside the door of Mohe Garden and knocked violently, his face full of anxiety and nervousness.
Zhang Ji watched from the side, frowned, and said, "Third Master, let's kick the door." "The sound of the fight just now came from the Mohe Garden, which was full of female dependents, and now it should not be called... Was there something wrong?
When Peng Hao heard this, his heart was even more worried, and he just wanted to raise his foot and kick the door, when he heard a sleepy voice from inside.
"Who's coming... ”
Liuying rubbed her eyes and opened the door, looked at the people gathered outside, and said, "Three... Young Master, why are you here so late?"
"You... What about Mo'er?" Peng Hao frowned slightly when he saw Liuying like this, she was the secret guard given by Jin Xiuchen, she just woke up?
"The master is sleeping. Liuying stretched out her hand and pointed to Peng Mo's boudoir.
Peng Hao looked sideways at the guards outside the door and said, "Zhang Ji, you take people to various courtyards to check and ensure the safety of all places." ”
"Yes, Third Master. Zhang Ji bowed his head and left with everyone.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Liuying instantly put away her confused and hazy appearance, and said with her head bowed: "Third Young Master, the master is waiting for you." ”
Peng Hao looked at Liuying and walked inside.
After seeing Peng Mo standing in the room, Peng Hao completely let go of his hanging heart and said anxiously: "What happened? Are you injured? Why do you want to hide it?"
He just glanced at him before he held his back, but why did Mo'er hide the fact that there were assassins?
Peng Mo shook his head and said, "I'm fine, third brother, don't worry, just now an assassin came in the courtyard, and he was killed by the people arranged by Jin Xiuchen to protect my safety, in order to ensure Jin Xiuchen's safety, I can't let people know what happened to me." ”
"Assassin?" Peng Hao was shocked, why was he an assassin again? Who was going to do something to Mo'er?
Liuying cautiously stepped forward to interrupt the conversation between the two, and lowered her head and said, "Master, Qi Mu asks to see you." ”
Peng Mo looked at Peng Hao, and the two walked outside, she looked at Qi Mu and frowned, "What happened to you?"
Qi Mu looked at Peng Hao, and saw that Peng Mo was not unusual, so he did not shy away from it, and said with his head bowed: "Since the last time he was assassinated on horseback in the suburbs of Beijing, His Royal Highness has sent dozens of people to secretly protect the safety of the princess inside and outside the general's mansion. ”
After a pause, he said: "Your Highness was stumped by King Gong, and his subordinates have already passed the news of the General's Mansion to His Highness, presumably His Highness will arrive soon." ”
"How many assassins are there?" Peng Mo was moved by Jin Xiuchen's carefulness in his heart, but he didn't expect him to do such a thoughtful thing secretly.
"Nearly twenty people. Qi Mu's face was solemn, fortunately, the most elite secret guards sent by His Royal Highness, otherwise, with the menacing posture of the assassin, it is really impossible to say who wins and who loses!
Twenty people! Peng's eyes were cold, so many assassins were sent to assassinate her, and the people in the dark really looked up to her!
It's just that who the hell is this person? The strength of being able to send so many assassins quietly is really terrifying!
Peng Hao's brows furrowed, he looked at Qi Mu, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "What did you call Mo'er just now?"
Princess: Oh! Jin Xiuchen, you really have you!
He never expected that this coachman who had passed his test at the beginning was also the person arranged by Jin Xiuchen!
Yes, aren't the guards around Jin Xiuchen also surnamed Qi?
It's really cunning, it's not enough to place a personal maid next to Mo'er, even the coachman is ready!
However, does Mo'er really trust Jin Xiuchen so much?
Peng Mo was a little embarrassed when he heard this, coughed lightly, looked at Qi Mu and said, "You go down first!"
"Yes. Qi Mu knew that he was speechless, and nodded back.
"Did the third brother go to see his mother?" "The purpose of these assassins is unknown, is it only Moheyuan who encountered the assassins?
Peng Hao pursed his lips, knowing that now was not the time to pursue the title of "princess", and said: "When I came, I passed through the Lotus Fragrance Garden, my mother was very good, and she had slept peacefully, so I didn't bother, and I had left the guards to protect me." ”
Peng Mo nodded. "The third brother did the right thing, my mother has been depressed these days, don't tell her about the assassin, so as not to worry her. ”
"Do you have any clues about the assassin?" Peng Hao really couldn't figure out the purpose of the assassin!
Peng Mo shook his head, these assassins came very suddenly, she has always been cautious recently, how could she attract assassination?
Peng Hao was silent for a while, and wondered, "Could it be Qi Yu?"
Qi Mansion's post has been accepted by the General's Mansion, and it is difficult to guarantee that Qi Yu will not want to kill people to keep her identity from being revealed.
Peng Mo snorted lightly when she heard this, hooked her lips and said: "With her skills, it is absolutely impossible to plan this matter, even Qi Yeru does not have such strength." ”
However, she thought of someone, could it be Zhao Qingshui? or Zhao Shuchang?
Brave and righteous waiting
Ping'an came to Wei Yingran's study with an anxious face, looked at the person playing under the window, and stepped forward and said, "Shizi, Miss Peng Si has been assassinated." ”
When Wei Yingran heard the news at first glance, his heart felt suffocated for a moment, the chess pieces in his hand fell on the chessboard, making a "bang" sound, he took a hard breath, got up and looked at Ping'an, and said hurriedly: "How is it now?"
Ping An saw Wei Yingran like this, and said busily: "Miss Peng Si is fine, it's just... It's just that.... He hesitated.
Wei Yingran breathed a sigh of relief, she was fine!
Ping An didn't dare to hide it, and lowered his head and said, "It's just that these assassins were sent by the county lord of Siyan!"
"Siyan!" Wei Yingran's eyes were cold, she pulled her lips and smiled coldly, and said lightly: "I told her a long time ago not to get involved in Kyoto's affairs, but she didn't listen." ”
Saying that, Wubo's eyes rolled, looking at peace.
Siyan dared to do something to her, he would never spare her!
Ping'an understood the bloodshed in Wei Yingran's eyes, and said with his head bowed: "My subordinates understand." After saying that, he bowed and withdrew.
Jin Xiuchen got drunk and left Prince Gong's mansion, and after getting into the carriage, his rotten peach blossom eyes suddenly returned to their clearness, and he was inevitably noticed, and he found a thousand faces to disguise him.
And when he was around the corner of the carriage, he jumped out of the carriage extremely stealthily, and ran all the way to the Mohe Garden.
He stood in the courtyard and looked at the silhouette reflected in the window, his heart was pounding, and a cold sweat broke out on his back!
Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door and walked in, looking at the person on the chaise longue under the window, he opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Are you scared?"
