Chapter 14: Assassination
The spring breeze is pleasant, and the sky is excellent today.
The carriage slowly returned to the city, and there was nothing wrong along the way. When he was near the city gate, he was stopped.
Different from the routine checks in the past, there were many more Praetorian Guards everywhere at the city gates this time.
"Who's in the car?" The young guard stopped in front of the carriage.
Yan Su stepped forward: "This is the carriage and horse of Miss Anguo Mansion." ”
"Anguo Mansion? Don't let it go soon! A guard leader who knew Yan Su hurriedly ran over and asked his men to let him go.
Yan Su was puzzled and asked, "Master Li, I don't know what happened in the city?" ”
The leader of the guard looked left and right and whispered a few words to him.
Yan Su's face changed when he heard this: "Okay, thank you for mentioning it." ”
"Steward Yan is polite."
The carriage was let go and slowly drove into the city gates.
A sparsely populated main street that was originally bustling was patrolled by many Janissaries.
Cheng Xin lifted the corner of the curtain and asked, "Steward Yan, what's going on?" ”
Steward Yan rode his horse to the window and said in a low voice, "There was a noble man who was assassinated in the teahouse in front, and now the assassin is still on the run. Now the whole city is under martial law, and the assassins are arrested. ”
So exciting?
Cheng Xin raised his eyebrows: "Do you know the identity of that nobleman?" ”
"This guard is not clear. However, Yan thought that the identity of the one who could alarm the inspection of the Praetorian Guards must not be simple. ”
Cheng Xin thought deeply that in this capital where there were so many high-ranking officials, he had to take a side with the royal family if he was so excited.
"Since it's not safe on the streets right now, let's go home."
"Yes." Steward Yan breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the carriage to go faster, he was afraid that the young lady would have a whim and would join in the fun.
"Ahh Xiaoshu suddenly shouted.
"The plot has been updated?"
"Nope."
"And how do you know?"
Xiaoshu said: "No one understands the plot better than me. "The Rebirth of the Daughter" is a romance novel, and most of the plots are for the male and female protagonists. The heroine is now on Zhuangzi, so the current assassination is very likely to be related to the plot of the male protagonist. The male protagonist was either assassinated or assassinated. ”
"Do you still want to say that the male protagonist is in distress, and the female protagonist is a beauty to save the hero, and the two meet for the first time in distress."
"Yes, yes, because of fate, the heroine rescued the male protagonist, bandaged him, stopped the bleeding, and medicated...... The operation is as fierce as a tiger. ”
"Then the female protagonist leaves in a hurry, and the male protagonist must say, 'Ah, woman, you have caught my attention.' ”
"yes, yes. My little girl, you and I have a good understanding now. ”
Cheng Xin couldn't cry or laugh: "Xiaoshu, what are you thinking?" Wen Yunxian is now in Zhuangzi, 108,000 miles away from here, the man is mainly injured and escaped, and the blood will run dry when he waits there. ”
"What if it's a minor injury?"
"Then Wen Yunxian should say, 'If you are one step late, the wounds should be healed'."
"My little girl, you are not the author, how do you know that the author will not write like this? Whether it is a hero saving a beauty, or a beauty saving a hero, it is the basic operation of love at first sight for the male and female protagonists. I've seen a lot in the bookstore system. ”
Cheng Xin nodded, this is the truth.
When she played a supporting role, she encountered several such scenes, especially the circle that fell from the sky after being rescued by the male protagonist, which could spit her up every time.
"Miss, what are you laughing at?" Qiao Wu couldn't help but ask out loud.
Just all the way, the young lady raised her eyebrows and grinned, and for a moment she almost laughed out loud.
"Me, am I smiling?" Cheng Xin rubbed his face, he was too involved in chatting with the system.
Qiao Wu nodded: "Fortunately, Fang was not seen by the guards, otherwise I would have thought that the young lady was so happy to hear about the assassination." ”
"Qiao's wife! What nonsense? Min Qi glanced at her reproachfully: "This is the street, there are many people." If this word reached the ears of that nobleman, it would cause trouble for the young lady. ”
"Ahh Qiao Wu covered her mouth suddenly: "Miss, the slave is talking nonsense, please punish the young lady." ”
Although Cheng Xin hopes that these maids can live freely and happily, after being reminded by Minqi, he must also pay attention to the occasion and proportion.
"When you return home, you will go and receive the punishment yourself. In the future, remember that in the courtyard of the house, whatever you say is idle talk, and it doesn't matter if it's good or bad. But when you go out, you need to always remember that you don't get into trouble. ”
"Yes, miss. We remembered. "Minqi and the others solemnly responded.
Hazelnut whispered, "That miss...... Do you still eat peach blossom crisp? ”
"When is it, you still want to eat." Qiaowen patted Hazelnut's head.
"It was the young lady who asked me to remind her."
Minqi said: "I remember that the pastry shop is on this street, miss, why don't you stop at the door of the shop, and I will go back with Hazelnut." ”
Hazelnut looked at her with blank eyes, and Cheng Xin nodded: "Okay, but you two have to be careful." ”
The carriage stopped on the side, and as soon as Minqi and Hazelnut got off, there was a loud bang above the carriage's head.
There was a 'bang' and something hit the roof of the car.
"Ahh Qiao Wu screamed in fright.
The carriage shook violently, and Cheng Xin and the two people in the car were all shaken.
"Bold thief, don't run!" On the second floor of the liquor store on the side, there were shouts from the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard.
There were a few more 'bangs', Yu Bo screamed miserably, and was kicked out of the carriage, and then the carriage galloped quickly.
"Miss!" Yan Su shouted from behind: "Come on, chase after you!" ”
"Miss!" The shouts of Minqi and Hazelnut grew farther and farther away.
There was a shout ahead, and the carriage was rampaging through the streets.
Mei Ran rushed out at once and fought the thief.
"Miss, ah, Miss, get up quickly." Qiao Wu tried hard to stabilize her figure and wanted to come over to help Cheng Xin.
Cheng Xin pulled her over: "Hold on to the window." ”
The master and servant looked at each other, and their eyes were full of horror.
Qiao Wu was really frightened.
Cheng Xin was worried about the hero saving the beauty that Fang Cai Xiaoshu said, and it was love at first sight.
I'm afraid this plot is going to be put on her shelf, right?
Through the shaking curtain, she saw that Mei Ran was fighting a man in a running clothes, burly and agile.
But from her point of view, she couldn't see what the man's face looked like.
This is the assassin?
The sound of hand-to-hand combat came again and again, and the man didn't expect the maid in front of him to be so able to fight, and he didn't want to entangle, so he cut off the reins at the moment, and jumped on the horse with a jump.
"Drive!" The man whipped his whip and rode his horse away.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the carriage came to a halt and tilted down.
Cheng Xin and Qiao Wu both fell out of the carriage.
"Miss, are you alright?" Mei Ran rushed over and helped Cheng Xin up.
Cheng Xin shook his head and rubbed his elbow on the ground: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Qiao Wu got up from the ground, and suddenly fell to the ground again, screaming miserably.
Mei Ran stepped forward to check and said, "Miss, her foot is twisted." ”
"Let's sit next to me first, and I'll take you to the doctor later." Cheng Xin helped Mei Ran and helped Qiao to sit on the side of the road.
