Chapter 357: I Met an Assassin on the Way
Zhao Qiujin took a look at the lake and mountains outside in this inn, now they are getting farther and farther away from the city, Qingyunguan is in the suburbs, and it is in a place where no one lives, in the mountains, in the middle of the mountain, the road can be said to be high and long, and it takes a whole day to arrive.
Now it's noon, and they'll take a short break and hit the road at once, probably before the sun sets.
Zhao Qiujin saw that Xiao Qi was sorting things out and taking oolong tea, so she took a look, and after she took a look, she realized that all the things that Xiao Qi was carrying were his things.
As for Xiao Qi's own things, it seems that there is none of them.
Zhao Qiujin frowned, with a confused look, and walked to Xiao Qi's side, she asked Xiao Qi and said, "You girl, why didn't you bring anything yourself, these seem to be from the palace, isn't this the teacup used by the palace?" How did you bring this too? ”
Zhao Qiujin only felt a little crying and laughing, this ceramic teacup is easy to break on the road, but Xiao Qi said seriously: "When Niangniang usually drinks tea, she doesn't like to use other teacups, and she likes to use this teacup the most, if Xiao Qi changes Niangniang's teacup, Niangniang is afraid that it will be inconvenient to drink tea in Qingyunguan, and it is estimated that there is no good tea on Qingyunguan, but the slaves and maids have already inquired, there is a lotus pond on the side of Qingyunguan, and when Xiaoqi goes to get dew for Niangniang every morning to make flower tea, Definitely good. ”
When Zhao Qiujin heard Xiao Qi say this, he sighed helplessly, feeling both moved and distressed in his heart.
This stinky girl, everything is based on her, everything puts her first, has she considered herself?
"You stinky girl, you haven't brought a few things to protect you from the cold, have you?"
However, Xiao Qi just smiled and said: "It's okay, let's just stay there for a month, and we'll be back in a month, although it's cold now, but after a month, it's not so cold that you can't move your hands and feet, and it's not so cold that it snows heavily, so you can rest assured." ”
Zhao Qiujin smiled helplessly, she thought to herself, if Xiao Qi really didn't have clothes, it would be okay to wear her own, anyway, the two of them could be said to be sisters, and they wouldn't be too careful.
Zhao Qiujin didn't take these things too seriously.
Just when everyone was halfway through the break, General Zhou came over to ask Concubine Shuniang what she wanted to eat at noon, when suddenly a team of black men came over, and with lightning speed, they quickly killed all the guards that General Zhou arranged at the door.
One of the seriously wounded guards hurried over, stumbled to the center of the hall, and told General Zhou in a panic: "General, you hurry up and run with the concubine, there is an assassin at the door!" ”
When Zhou Qingshan heard this, he immediately frowned, so dignified, they had only walked for half a day, and they hadn't arrived yet, why did they meet an assassin on the way.
He immediately rushed out.
However, before rushing out of the loss, he stopped again and asked Xiao Qi to hide with Niangniang immediately, and he must not let Niangniang have any problems, otherwise after he goes back, he really has no way to return to the emperor.
After Zhou Qingshan ordered the matter here, he immediately led someone to kill him, no matter what, he had to save Concubine Shu's life today.
Zhao Qiujin heard the sound of shouting and killing at the door, and immediately frowned, Xiao Qi looked panicked, and hurriedly pulled Niangniang's wrist.
"Niangniang, let's leave nothing behind, I'll take you out first, let's see if there is a backyard door in the back?"
However, Zhao Qiujin shook his head.
If it is said that the person who came was to target her, then he must have set up an ambush in the backyard a long time ago, after all, there are only two exits in this courtyard, so the person who came must have put away the front and back.
Now, Zhou Qingshan is dealing with those people in front, if he escapes through the back door, not only will he not be able to escape, but secondly, he will also be a coward who escapes. First Reading Network
Xiao Qi saw that Niangniang could still sit here calmly without saying a word, and immediately became anxious.
"Mother, let's go quickly." However, Zhao Qiujin was just sitting there, it was not that she didn't want to go, but there was no way to go here.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Qi, don't panic, let's calm down first, there is no exit here at all, when we came here just now, we have already seen that there are two exits here, if those people are aimed at me, now the backyard must have been burned and ambushed, let's rush out of the backyard directly, not only can we not escape, but we may also fall into their hands."
Now these people are coming over and coming towards me, probably on the orders of the Prime Minister. ”
When Xiao Qi heard Niangniang say this, she was stunned for a moment, frowned tightly, and didn't say a word, but she knew in her heart that what Niangniang said made sense, and there was no other possibility for this matter except that it was done by the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister was worried that after Concubine Shuniang went back, she would become the queen, and when the time came, she would rob her daughter Concubine Hua Niangniang's position, so it was natural to set up an ambush on this road to assassinate Niangniang.
However, they shouldn't be so calm.
"Niangniang, since you already know, let's hurry up and think of a way to get out."
Zhao Qiujin faintly showed a panicked look on his face, and raised his eyes to look outside, Zhou Qingshan obviously didn't have enough people, and there were more people in black who came over.
Although all the black people were covered and couldn't see their looks clearly, Zhou Qingshan still noticed that the scar face that took the lead, the scar face, half of the scar on the face was exposed, and it could be seen that it looked like a rough idea.
and his eyes, Zhou Qingshan is no stranger, this person is a person who has followed the prime minister for many years, and this person is a person who the prime minister trusts very much, and he is also a killer by the prime minister's side, killing people like hemp and mutilating many people.
However, Zhou Qingshan also knew that his strength was far below him, so he immediately glanced at his subordinates.
The subordinates rushed in in a hurry, wanting to save the concubine.
General Zhou is obviously ready to fight these gangsters to the death, but their purpose is still to save Shufei Niangniang, and they must not let Shufei Niangniang have any mistakes.
After General Zhou's subordinates rushed in, he immediately reminded Concubine Shuniang and said, "Concubine Shu, you hurry up and find a place to hide, there are too many people coming, and the people on our side probably can't stop it." ”
When Xiao Qi heard this, he was so frightened that his legs were weak for a while, but Zhao Qiujin just looked around calmly, it was useless to be nervous now, the most important thing was to calm down and quickly think of a solution to the problem.
Nervousness has no effect, Zhao Qiujin suddenly thought of it, when she came, she seemed to notice that there was a vegetable cellar here, but she didn't know where the entrance of the vegetable cellar was, it should be a place that was hidden enough.
"Xiao Qi, you calm down now, don't be nervous, we have to calm down now. I know there should be a vegetable cellar here, and we just need to find the entrance to that vegetable cellar and find a way to seal it, and maybe we can hide for a while. ”
Xiao Qi heard Niangniang say this, and immediately nodded.
"Okay mother, the slave will go find it now!"
However, just as they were about to go to the vegetable cellar, two of the men in black rushed in and slashed directly at the concubine.
When Zhou Qingshan's subordinates saw this, they immediately raised the sword in their hands and threw themselves at the two people.
However, he was soon killed on the ground.
