Chapter 257: Assassins on the Road
"But I'm going back to the palace soon, I'm afraid, they're waiting for you." Soho said worriedly.
Concubine Yun smiled, "Don't be afraid, as long as they can't touch me, how can they harm me?" I avoided them, don't worry, I have my own way of dealing with it. ”
The people sent by the emperor came in waves, and now Concubine Yun has to go back if she doesn't want to go back.
"Niangniang, Father-in-law Xu asks to see." The palace maid outside the door spoke.
Concubine Yun frowned slightly, and Su He looked at her and said, "Grandpa Xu...... Isn't it the apprentice of Father-in-law Li, Mr. Li? ”
Concubine Yun nodded, "That's right, it's him, these days, the emperor has sent three people back and forth, and now, the fourth." ”
"What did the emperor send someone to do?"
"You're not trying to urge me to go back? Alas, I thought I could stay a few more days, but now I can only urge you back. ”
Soho said, "This is the emperor worrying about you, how many women in the palace have this favor?" But...... Having said that, the more the emperor gives you a lot of favor, the more jealous the people in the palace become, and this situation is a little more dangerous. ”
"Yes, I don't know, it's just that in this deep palace, it's not good at stubble, it's not easy to live, let alone climb up on the tip of this knife?"
"That'...... Have you ever regretted it? ”
Concubine Yun was a little stunned, her expression was confused, "regret ......" she thought about it and said, "Don't regret it, at the beginning, the prince saved our sister and brother, he is our benefactor in this life, by chance, I happened to meet the emperor who was parading out of the palace, I never thought that the emperor liked me, and hoped that I could enter the palace. ”
"This way it will not be painful, and the two of them like each other, and they will be happy."
"Yes, the prince actually didn't ask me to do anything, but I never thought of going down such a road before," Concubine Yun said, holding Su Ho's hand, "Su Ho, I never say this to anyone, since I said it, let's just open it up, I don't see the prince much, but it's better to know him early, and Yun Xi is his close guard, so I also know the prince's personality, Yu Guo, he is loyal, selfish, he is innocent and honest, but people seem cold and arrogant, Su Ho, I've never seen him like this, it turns out that he can also laugh, and laugh so from the heart, these changes are all because of you. ”
"Yes, when I first met him, I felt the same way, high up and unstoppable." Now, it's a rogue...... Soho couldn't hold back the second half of the sentence and didn't say anything, but the happy smile on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what.
"The two of you are made in heaven, since you have found the right person, you must cherish it." Concubine Yun said.
Soho nodded, "It's natural. ”
"Oh, I can't stop chatting, I forgot that there are still people waiting outside," Concubine Yun said in a loud voice, "Please come in." ”
Soho immediately stood up from her seat, and since she was in the presence of outsiders, she had to stand upright, respectfully, and behave in accordance with her status.
Gonggong Xu walked in quickly, "The slave sees Niangniang." ”
"No courtesy, my father-in-law came here to urge me to go back, right?"
Gonggong Xu smiled and said, "Niangniang also guessed it herself, Niangniang, the emperor is very concerned about you, if you have fun here, you should go back." ”
Concubine Yun had no choice but to say, "Why are you still bothering your father-in-law when you leave tomorrow?" ”
"Hey, Niangniang is a tormented slave, what is not bothering, naturally it is what the old slave should do, Niangniang must not say that, but since you can leave tomorrow, it is naturally better."
Concubine Yun waved her hand, "Come on, take Gonggong Xu down to rest." ”
"Then I'll go back and clean up." Waiting for Gonggong Xu and the others to leave, Soho said.
Concubine Yun nodded, "It's okay, when the time comes to go back to the palace, you can go to me and walk around more, and talk to me." "Concubine Yun is like two people at the moment, and she is a little more straightforward.
"That's natural, I'm not comfortable anywhere in the Pharmaceutical Bureau." Especially the horse face of Zhang Jian Zheng.
"That's okay, okay, go back quickly, Man'er has been telling me all these days that you miss you, and go see her."
"Good!"
There are not many things in Soho, just clean up, it is still early, Soho came to Cheng Man'er and saw Cheng Man'er playing chess with the maid in the yard.
"Man'er." Soho spoke up.
Cheng Man'er raised her head suddenly, she saw Su Ho, her eyes were first full of scrupulous and alert, but then, she eliminated these, and turned to surprise, "Sister Su!" ”
Su He stepped forward, and Cheng Man'er also stood up and ordered, "You guys go down, I'll talk to Sister Su." ”
"Yes." every day
After everyone left, Cheng Man'er pulled Su He and said, "Sister Su, it's really you, right?" It's not fake anymore, is it? ”
When Soho heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, she nodded, "Don't worry, I'm real!" ”
Cheng Man'er hugged Soho, "Sister Su, I want to kill you!" ”
Soho's heart was warm, "Stinky girl, how much do you miss me?" ”
Cheng Man'er let go of her hand, pulled Su He into the house and said, "Oh, Sister Su, I'll go to you that day, no," Cheng Man'er lowered her voice, "It's the fake you, I found out something was wrong at that time, although she looks the same as Sister Su, but her words and deeds are always missing that feeling, and then Concubine Yun told me the truth, by the way, Sister Su, where did you and the prince go?" They didn't even tell me, huh! ”
Soho took out an object, which was wrapped in layers of brocade handkerchief, and she opened the handkerchief, and inside was a dagger.
"What I gave you is my reparation, okay?" Soho asked with a smile.
Cheng Man'er picked up the dagger and looked at it, "Yes, it's short and concise, and it's easy to use!" ”
"It's good if you like it, this is when I came back, I bought it on the road, I fell in love with it at a glance, I think you will probably like it."
Cheng Man'er really couldn't put it down, "That's right, I really like it, I, I don't like those gold and silver jewelry the most, it's flashy, it's useless, it's still a good weapon, and it can be used for self-defense." ”
"Your temperament is exactly the same as that of the old general." Sue said with a smile.
Cheng Man'er put away the dagger, "Hahaha, Sister Su, you don't know, I grew up in the army, so I was naturally contaminated with these habits, and then my father finally found out that I was a woman, and it was not good to be wild in the barracks every day, so I thought about letting me learn some more calligraphy and painting for female workers, but it was already too late." ”
"It's good for you to do this, just do things you like, why do you have to restrict yourself to learn anything?"
"That's it, that's what I thought!"
The two talked for a long time before Soho returned, and the next day, everyone set off according to the plan.
Soho sat in the carriage, and Cheng Man'er really followed Soho.
"Man'er, why don't you ride a horse?" Soho leaned on the soft seat and asked, Concubine Yun specially ordered that the carriage that Soho was riding in must be comfortable, otherwise, with her identity, where could she ride such a good carriage alone?
"Originally, I was going to ride a horse, but Zhou Chengtian asked me to stay with Sister Su just in case."
Soho smiled, "This...... You don't need to, if you want to ride a horse, go for it. ”
Cheng Man'er pinched the snacks on the small table and put them in her mouth, "Don't, I also want to accompany Sister Su, even if it's a horse, it's next to this carriage, it's better to be in the carriage, and there are snacks to eat, besides, I like to ride a horse and I like to ride a horse and gallop, walking slowly like this, I don't like it either, it's boring." ”
As they spoke, the two of them only felt that the carriage suddenly bumped a few times, followed by the shouting of killing, Soho hurriedly lifted the curtain, and was suddenly startled by the scene in front of him, and there was chaos outside, and a group of people in black suddenly poured out and attacked straight here.
"Damn, there really are assassins!" Cheng Man'er threw away the snack in her hand, her eyes full of anger.
"This place is the steepest and most difficult on the way, the road is narrow, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff, and these people have already calculated it." Soho said in a deep voice.
"Sister Su, you stay in the carriage and don't come out, I will protect you." Cheng Man'er picked up the long sword and got out of the carriage.
Although Soho was in a hurry, she didn't know martial arts and couldn't do anything, so she could only listen to Cheng Man'er and try not to cause trouble.
"Protect Niangniang and the Six Princes!"
Concubine Yun's carriage was surrounded by layers of the Imperial Forest Army, and Zhou Chengtian was about to step forward to fight, but was pulled by Gonggong Xu, "Ouch, the sixth prince, but you can't go, you stay here, there will be someone to protect you and Niangniang." ”
Zhou Chengtian had no choice but to stop, but he still glanced at Soho worriedly, only to find that there were few assassins over there, and it turned out that these people were coming towards him and Concubine Yun!
"Powerful crossbow!" The head of the man in black stood to the side and waved his hand.
In an instant, two rows of black-clothed people held crossbows in their hands and aimed at the Imperial Forest Army on Yunfei's side, the first row immediately squatted down after shooting arrows, and the people in the second row continued to shoot out, arrows rained down, so that people had no chance to dodge at all.
Cheng Man'er killed a few black-clothed people who rushed over, she lifted the carriage curtain, "Sister Su, these people are all here for Concubine Yun and the six princes. ”
Soho could also tell, she said, "Man'er, you don't care about me first, you take a few people to help Concubine Yun and them." ”
"But Sister Su, you ......" Man'er was not at ease.
"Go, I have something to defend myself, these people are menacing and difficult to deal with, you must protect Concubine Yun and the Six Princes." Soho pushed Man'er away.
Man'er had to leave a few guards to protect Soho, and then rushed behind the black-clothed people with the remaining people, because Cheng Man'er attacked behind, and the black-clothed men who shot arrows in two rows were disrupted, so there were many fewer arrows shooting at Yunfei's carriage.
