Chapter 89: Night Attack on the Assassins
I only heard the sound of small footsteps outside, and heard the sound that someone was running towards the carriage, and since she couldn't see the outside, Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but get nervous.
Through the wooden wall of the carriage, Jiang Zuiyao could even hear the sound of the sword drawn out of the sheath outside, she took a sharp breath, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
With a snort, I saw a man in black with a murderous face suddenly lift the curtain and face the moonlight, Jiang Zuiyao saw the fierceness on his face.
When the man saw Jiang Zuiyao and Qin Nanxian lying in the car, he raised his sword without hesitation to kill.
Jiang Zuiyao was so frightened that he hurriedly tightened his body, the black man raised his sword to kill without waiting for the sword to fall, Qin Feng arrived in time, and a sword pierced the chest of the man in black.
The knife was fatal, and the man in black didn't even have a chance to scream, his eyes were nailed to the spot, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell on the car window.
Blood spurted out and sprayed onto Jiang Zuiyao's hands, and she saw a person die in front of her with her own eyes, so close that she was so frightened that she exclaimed: "Ah! ”
Qin Nanxian subconsciously protected Jiang Zuiyao in his arms, and his voice was also uneasy: "Don't look! ”
The screams and fighting outside the carriage had made Jiang Zuiyao unable to do it herself, she knew that those people were here to kill her, and she knew that it must be tragic outside.
"I'm afraid." , Jiang Zuiyao's voice trembled slightly.
Qin Nanxian tightened Jiang Zuiyao in his arms, and protected him to death: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
At the moment when human lives are on the line, where can I care about whether men and women are kissed or not, Jiang Zuiyao only has Qin Nanxian by her side, she grabbed her shirt tightly and asked, "Are they here to kill us?" ”
Qin Nanxian tightened his lips: "There are guards from the Imperial City Division outside, as well as Qin Feng, it should be fine." I said I would protect you, and even if they came in, they would step over me. ”
In a word, Jiang Zuiyao, who was terrified, felt a trace of dependence.
It was the first time she had someone to protect her when she came here.
The fighting outside intensified, Jiang Zuiyao even raised his hand to cover his ears, leaned on Qin Nanxian's chest and closed his eyes, not daring to look or listen.
Qin Nanxian knew that Jiang Zuiyao was very scared, and comforted: "It's okay, whether it's the prince or the prime minister, if we are caught, we will be kept alive, don't be afraid." ”
This situation lasted for half an hour, until the sound of the fight gradually dissipated, and Qin Feng said outside: "Master, they are all dead." ”
Qin Nanxian let out a long sigh of relief, and only then did he completely relax his mind, let go of Jiang Zuiyao, sat up, and got out of the carriage.
Jiang Zuiyao still felt palpitations, sat up and looked outside, completely shocked.
At this moment, the sky was already shining, and she saw that there were thirty or forty corpses lying outside the carriage, most of them were men in black, and several of the guards of the Imperial City Division had also died.
The dead corpses were around the carriage, and it was conceivable that these black-clothed people were all heading for Jiang Zuiyao and Qin Nanxian in the carriage, but they were all stopped by Qin Feng and the escorts.
Under the blood flying, the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood, this was the first time Jiang Zuiyao had seen dozens of lives die in front of his eyes.
Qin Feng's sword had been stained red with blood, he was still a teenager, facing the corpses in front of him, he didn't show the slightest panic, and stood beside Qin Nanxian and spoke seriously.
Qin Nanxian hurriedly ordered someone to dispose of the corpse, and set off towards the north without a trace of delay.
The carriage ran fast, and under the bumps, Jiang Zuiyao only felt uncomfortable and vomited several times.
Qin Nanxian said: "Bear with me, it will be here soon." ”
Jiang Zuiyao had already vomited and had no strength, and the reaction of pregnancy made her unable to control such bumps at all, and said worriedly: "Run slower, I'm afraid of hurting the child in my belly." ”
Qin Nanxian was puzzled: "All the way over, if it weren't for taking care of the child in your belly, we would have gone north yesterday." ”
Jiang Zuiyao pursed her lips reproachfully, feeling a little unlucky.
Qin Nanxian smiled slowly: "It's okay, fortunately, everything is in danger, and then we have to rush to the night, without stopping for a moment, and when we get to the north as soon as possible, we will be safe for the time being." ”
Jiang Zuiyao nodded, leaning on the cushion, her face was pale, and she was more uneasy.
Qin Nanxian didn't lie, and he worked hard all the way, but in three days, he finally arrived in the north.
Entering the city gate, of course, first arrived at the Guogong Mansion of Wen Guogong, Jiang Zuiyao stood at the gate of the mansion, and felt the grandeur of the mansion, there were two mighty stone lions standing at the main gate, there were three roads at the main gate, and eight guards were waiting at the door.
Jiang Zuiyao was really behind Qin Nanxian, looked around, the street was very quiet, there was not even a figure, it seemed that no one dared to approach this place.
Jiang Zuiyao muttered in a low voice, "We had such a smooth journey, and the person who killed us just gave up?" ”
Qin Nanxian, who was standing in front of him, glanced back at her and smiled wittily, "There is more than one path to the north, do you know how many carriages I sent out to hide people's ears." ”
Only then did Jiang Zuiyao know Qin Nanxian's arrangement, and he must have been arranging the route according to the enemy's movements every day.
It's just that since then, the funds are huge, and Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but sigh, "How much does it cost?" ”
Qin Nanxian replied lightly, "When did I ever lack money?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao looked at Qin Nanxian's wealthy appearance, and couldn't help but pout.
Qin Feng walked to the door of the Guogong Mansion at this time, and took the token given to Qin Nanxian by the Queen Mother to report his reputation, and the guards immediately let Qin Nanxian and his party in.
This time when he entered the palace, Jiang Zuiyao saw the luxury of the Guogong Mansion, and there were several gardens and forests along the way, and they were all exquisitely decorated. Stay in the main hall, it is even more luxurious, even the pillars in the hall are decorated with jade, the tables and chairs are fine mahogany, carved with delicate patterns, and there is an ancient painting hanging on the right place, which was made by a famous artist a hundred years ago, and it is priceless.
Although the Kokufu is not as generous as the Shaofu, if it is placed in Kyoto, it is also one of the most luxurious.
Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but marvel, it seems that this Wen Guogong is a rich man.
Everyone waited in the main hall for a while, and then saw a young man in his twenties walking in, crossing the threshold, and when he saw Qin Nanxian, he smiled kindly, and his voice was loud, "I don't know if Qin Gongzi is coming, and I will miss the welcome." Come on, good tea. ”
Qin Nanxian was also polite to him, and replied with a smile, "It's okay, it's that I forgot to notify Lord Guogong in advance when I arrived in the north." ”
When everyone took their seats, Jiang Zuiyao knew that the young man who came in was Wen Guogong, she saw him for the first time, she thought that Guogong was generally older, but she didn't expect it to be so young.
I saw Wen Guogong wearing a single-collar green Luo Tuanhua brocade robe, a double-tailed turtle back silver belt around his waist, and a folding paper Xichuan fan in his hand.
Jiang Zuiyao was thinking, is such a kind person really the prince's person?
At this time, Wen Guogong's eyes also fell on Jiang Zuiyao, and as soon as he saw her face, Qin Nanxian's eyes lit up and asked, "Presumably this is Shao Ziqing's wife, right?" ”
Qin Nanxian nodded.
Wen Guogong smiled at Jiang Zuiyao, and Jiang Zuiyao also smiled at him.
