Shu'er listened to the words of the county lord, although she had a bottom in her heart, but there were still small worries in her heart.

The county lord's heart is extraordinarily steady, and in her heart, her father and mother are omnipotent. So the mood is also very good these days.

It's a hot and muggy night in June.

In the second half of the night, it was a little cool, and King Qiong could finally lie down and just fall asleep.

I heard a noise outside the door of King Qiong's mansion, followed by the sound of "bang" slamming on the door.

King Qiong is so hot, are the guards at the door sleeping to death? King Qiong was just about to get angry, and the family came to report, "There are officers and soldiers in the court who want to enter the palace to search." ”

King Qiong said in his heart, who ate the leopard's gall and dared to search in my King Qiong's mansion.

King Joan got up and went into the courtyard.

Imperial court generals. "I've seen King Qiong, there was an assassin in the court just now, assassinating the emperor, and we chased him all the way to King Qiong's mansion and disappeared, because the assassin was injured and should not be able to run far, just nearby, so I offended King Qiong and searched King Qiong's mansion." ”

As soon as King Qiong heard this, how could he stop this, so he asked the family courtyard to take the officers and soldiers into the mansion to search, just don't frighten the little prince and the county lord and Miss Runyu.

After a while of rummaging, I didn't find it. The officers and soldiers retreated.

Qiu Xun, who was awakened, was already sleepy, and said, "Who is so bold and dares to assassinate the emperor in the palace, isn't this sending him to death?" ”

"Several counties have been hit by drought for many years, and there are refugees fleeing the famine everywhere," King Qiong said worriedly, "There have been ministers in the court and the central government who have been admonishing them in the hope of reducing taxes and relieving the victims, but the emperor always says that it will be implemented immediately, but he does not give an order." ”

"Why?" Qiu Xun asked.

"The queen spends extravagantly in the harem, builds gardens, and builds courtyards, all of which require silver, how can the emperor reduce taxes and rents."

The husband and wife chatted for a while and then fell asleep.

The little county lord can't sleep, she likes to watch the excitement. was afraid that they would scare Mr. and Runyu, so she personally accompanied the officers and soldiers to search, and when the officers and soldiers left, she felt hungry. Let Pomegranate go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat.

Pomegranate lit a candle and brought a few snacks from the kitchen, returned to the county lord's boudoir, and was about to raise her legs to go upstairs, when she heard a sound and a dark shadow fell at her feet. "Mom," startled Pomegranate.

Fortunately, Pomegranate followed the county lord to ride horses and shoot arrows all day long, dancing with knives and sticks, and still had a bit of courage. I finally didn't get scared to death.

"You, who are you?" Pomegranate asked.

"Girl, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I was injured and chased by officers and soldiers, and I ran here by mistake."

"You wait, I'll tell Miss," Pomegranate hurriedly ran up to the attic, "County Lord, County Lord, there's an injured man downstairs." ”

The county lord was very calm, "No wonder, it must be an assassin chased by officers and soldiers, this county lord wants to see how many heads he has, dare to assassinate the emperor, I will catch him, maybe the emperor will be happy to approve my marriage with Shu'er's brother." ”

Pomegranate said in her heart that it was true that the county lord's heart was big, and she was still thinking about her at this time.

The attic where the county lord lived and the attic of Runyu were side by side on the west side of King Qiong's mansion, and the attic of the county lord was at the back. The visitor jumped in from the backyard and came to the county lord's attic first.

It's a good thing it's not Runyu's attic, otherwise there would be another story.

Pomegranate lit the candle, and the county lord went downstairs and saw a black-clad and masked man lying there.

"Miss, I'm not a bad person, it's just because the emperor Lao'er forced us people to live anymore, so I was forced to assassinate him and save the people." When the man in black saw the county lord coming down, he hurriedly whispered.

Pomegranate has experienced the days of poverty, the government comes to the house every day to collect taxes from the court, at that time she also hated the emperor's tooth pain, if there is a chance, she will kill the emperor.

Listening to the words of the man in black, Pomegranate relented. said, "County Lord, let's drag him downstairs to ask for clarification." ”

The bottom of the attic is actually for the maid to live, but the county lord has always let Pomegranate live upstairs with him, so under the attic there are some weapons such as knives and sticks that the county lord usually plays.

The county lord nodded, and asked Pomegranate to help the man in black to the warehouse under the attic.

The man in black had a knife wound on his leg, and there were some external medicines in the warehouse, all of which were prepared for the county lord.

The man in black ripped off his mask. By the light of the candle, I saw a young face, handsome and affectionate, with a mighty temperament between the eyebrows.

The county lord secretly thought that King Qiong's mansion was guarded by officers and soldiers all around, and outside the back wall was a horse shed, and around the horse shed was a horse farm that could be seen at a glance. The periphery of the racecourse was also full of officers and soldiers. Although the officers and soldiers will secretly nap at night, they will not be able to enter this Qiongwang Mansion without a little effort.

"You think you can stab the emperor to death in the palace alone," the county lord asked the man in black.

"There were two people, and the one was hacked to death by officers and soldiers." He bowed his head.

The county lord gave him the snacks to eat, and asked Pomegranate to wipe the blood stains at the door.

To tell the truth, the county lord really doesn't like the emperor, so he doesn't have much hostility towards the man in black, and he wants to save him because of his kindness.

The county lord asked Pomegranate to hide the man in black, stacked his weapons to block it, and closed the door again. I went up to the attic with Pomegranate.

"He's hurt. I can only wait for him to recover from his injuries and then send him away," said the county lord to Pomegranate, "and send him more food at night, and no one will go there during the day." ”

The next day, in the early morning, the emperor ordered the assassin to be hunted down, and the assassin was masked and could not see his face clearly. However, if there is a knife wound on the leg, as long as you see a knife wound, you will be arrested, and it is better to kill by mistake than let it go.

The ministers of the court talked a lot, saying that the two assassins were strong in martial arts, and it was said that they were sent by the rebel army, and one of them was hacked to death by officers and soldiers in order to cover the escape of the other.

Because the officers and soldiers saw that the assassins were coming towards King Qiong's mansion, they set up heavy guards around King Qiong's mansion.

The county lord knew that the man in black had climbed over the back wall, and he was afraid of leaving bloodstains, so he came here with Pomegranate early in the morning to check and bury the bloodstains with soil.

The two of them were busy, and they saw Shu'er leading the officers and soldiers over, and Shu'er asked, "County Lord, do you come to ride a horse if you don't go to the school early in the morning?" ”

"That's right, the county lord is in a good mood today, so I don't want to read today," the county lord said by blowing the bangs on his forehead.

Shu'er shook her head helplessly, and instructed, "County Lord, yesterday's assassin may be nearby, you better be careful not to run around." ”

"Cut, this county lord is thinking to meet him," the county lord said confidently, "If I catch the assassin, maybe the emperor will reward me." ”

"What else do you want the emperor to reward you?" Shu'er looked at the county lord with a look of love.

The county lord looked at the officers and soldiers, "You guys retreat away for me." ”

The officers and soldiers retreated a few meters, and the county lord walked up to the tree, bowed down and said, "Let the emperor reward me with a handsome and mighty general with a jade tree in the wind." ”

Shu'er's face was happy, if it weren't for so many officers and soldiers watching, he would have picked up the county lord on horseback and galloped.

Shu'er turned around and prepared to leave with the officers and soldiers, but suddenly found that Pomegranate's expression was a little unnatural, standing there, rubbing the soles of his feet vigorously.

Shu'er squinted at Pomegranate's feet with his peripheral vision and saw a drop of blood the size of a copper coin. Shu'er looked back at the county lord again, and she blew her bangs vigorously, she was hiding the nervousness in her heart.

"Could it be that the county lord has seen the assassins," Shu'er thought to herself, "The assassins are obviously running here, and they have injuries on their legs, so they shouldn't have been able to run far, if someone hadn't hidden..."

Shu'er had a plan in his heart and left with the officers and soldiers.

Pomegranate hurriedly buried the drop of blood under her feet with soil, "It scared me to death." ”

The county lord also let out a long breath, "Fortunately, Brother Shu'er didn't find out. ”

Shu'er told King Qiong that because the assassins were nearby, he was afraid that King Qiong's Mansion would not be safe, so he would stay in King Qiong's Mansion for a few days.

King Joan, of course, agreed.

In the dead of night, Shu'er let the courtyard of the vigil sleep and stood guard at the door.

In the middle of the night, he quietly hid behind a tree in front of the county lord's attic, and saw Pomegranate holding a candle, followed by the county lord, and the county lord still holding a plate of snacks in his hand.

When Shu'er saw them enter the warehouse under the attic, she hid in the doorway.

"Hungry," Pomegranate said.

"Thank you Lord for the rescue," Shu'er heard a man's voice.

"How's the injury, is it better?" The county lord asked again.

"Much better, the wound healed in just one day," the man replied.

"Of course, the medicines here are all prepared by Dr. Shi himself. But it works," the county lord's voice said, "Hey, righteous man, the palace is so tightly guarded, you can go in, your martial arts must be very high." ”

"Don't dare, I learned kung fu from the master in the temple at the age of five, and left the temple at the age of ten to worship the master again.

"Wow, that's amazing," Shu'er knew that there must be a look of adoration on her face just by hearing the county lord's voice.

The tree didn't bother them, he knew what it was to harbor the Assassins, and he had to protect them secretly.

The trees kept them under cover for nights until they returned to the attic.

That night, the tree heard that the Assassin had said that his injuries were much better. Can't bother the county lord here anymore.

"Righteous man, it's okay. No one will see it, I'm going to learn kung fu from you. The county lord was still reluctant, Shu'er felt uncomfortable for a while, but he knew that the outside of King Qiong's mansion was full of heavy guards from the imperial court, and if it was discovered by the officers and soldiers, it would be a crime of destroying the door.

The tree finally couldn't take it anymore. He walked into the warehouse in the attic.

The Assassin was very sensitive, and immediately sensed someone coming in, and he lifted a knife next to him and aimed it at the tree that had just entered.

"Ah, Brother Shu'er," the county lord was stunned, after all, Shu'er was the official of the imperial court. "Please Brother Shu'er don't arrest him." The county lord blocked the man with his arm.

Shu'er dragged the county lord to his side, glared fiercely at the handsome and majestic man, and pulled out the knife.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you?" Shu'er said viciously.
