Chapter 229: The Killer
As soon as he heard that Tong Qingyan was fine, Bai Lingxian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Shunxi's words also made Bai Lingxian realize how complicated the situation in the palace was, and just wanted to ask a few more words about the situation of the queen prince, when suddenly there was a sound of horses.
"What's going on?!"
Shunxi didn't hold it steady, hit his head on the carriage frame, and immediately asked in a shrill voice in pain.
Several Jin Wuwei outside the carriage clenched the knives at their waists and looked at the few black-clothed people who suddenly appeared to block the way, and listened to the question of Shunxi's father-in-law in the carriage, the Jin Wuwei glanced at each other, and the person in the lead stared straight at the black-clothed man and replied.
"Father-in-law, be careful, there are assassins."
Shun Xi sat in the carriage and heard that there was an assassin, his butt was not stable, and he slid down directly, but fortunately, Bai Lingxian stopped him so that he would not fall to the ground.
"We just need Bai Lingxian, and those who know each other leave quickly."
The leader of the man in black raised his right hand tied with a crossbow arrow, and pointed to the leader Jin Wuwei, most of these Jin Wuwei are the children of the side branches of the family, when it comes to leg and foot kung fu, which one can compare to these killers who lick blood and eat at the knife all day long.
Sure enough, as soon as the man in black finished speaking, looking at the crossbow arrows that flashed in the cold light, Jin Wuwei's hand holding the saber loosened.
Although he was on an errand in the palace, he was just practicing standing guard and patrolling every day without seeing blood, and now he was suddenly threatened, and several Jin Wuwei instinctively spared his life.
It's just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, relying on the family's afterglow to find such an errand, although there is also some leg work, but against these killers who don't want to die, the odds of victory are slim, and it is really not worth risking his life for a female doctor he doesn't know.
Shun Xi sweated in the carriage in a hurry, looked at Bai Lingxian, who was very calm, and asked a little uncertainly.
"Doctor Bai, what helpers are around?"
Bai Lingxian looked at Shunxi, who lowered his voice and his eyes were full of hope, and slowly shook his head.
"Nope."
Shun Xi was choked up, since there is none, then he is still so calm?!
Xu is emotions on his face were too obvious, and Bai Lingxian explained slowly.
"Life and death are fateful, and it is useless to be anxious."
“......”
The leader of the man in black shook his tired right hand, and just wanted to say the last cruel words, when he heard a clear sound of hollow belly behind him, the leader turned his head and raised his eyebrows, and the eyes of the man covering his stomach were full of grievances.
"Boss, I haven't eaten enough for two days."
"Useless things, cheer me up, and I'll buy you two catties of pig's head meat!"
"Okay!"
In the streets and alleys of the middle of the night, even the figure of the husband could not be seen, and the communication between the two black-clothed people was completely transmitted to the ears of Bai Lingxian's side, and Jin Wuwei looked at each other, and he wanted to laugh at the two catties of pig's head meat and knew that he could hold back.
But Bai Lingxian in the carriage had a dark face, he didn't expect the person who wanted his life to pick it so much, and two catties of pig's head meat were sent away, and these killers were too easy to talk to.
Bai Lingxian thought of this, stood up and crossed Shunxi, and lifted the carriage curtain straight.
Shun Xila couldn't pull Bai Lingxian, so she could only stand in the carriage with her, watching a few people in black swallow their saliva, saying that it was fake not to be nervous, these people were all murderous without blinking.
"Several... Hero, I'm the Bai Lingxian who can do it for you with two catties of pig's head meat. ”
Bai Lingxian folded his hands and looked down at the few black-clothed people standing in the open space in front of the carriage, he originally wanted to call his brother, thinking of his age, Bai Lingxian really didn't scream, the word hero almost bit his tongue, he was going to kill himself, what kind of man is he a good man, but the words must always be said beautifully to have room for negotiation.
The man in black didn't expect Bai Lingxian to take the initiative to stand up so much, and immediately aimed the crossbow arrow at Bai Lingxian's chest, and just as he wanted to press the mechanism, he heard Bai Lingxian say something again.
"You shot me with this crossbow arrow, and all I can get is two catties of pig's head meat, if I pay a thousand taels of gold to buy my own life, do you think it's feasible?"
A few people in black were not calm all of a sudden, what is the concept of a thousand taels of gold?! How long can you eat pork head! Sensei said that the pig's head meat is gone, and Ruyi Lou can go to eat it for half a month.
The leader felt the restlessness of the brothers behind him, and looked at Bai Lingxian with a calm face with heavy eyebrows.
"Are you looking at me blind? You look like a man who took out a thousand taels of gold? ”
Bai Lingxian raised his hand and applauded, and said very sincerely.
"This good man is right, I really can't get it out of a civilian doctor, but if a few people let me into the palace, then I can get a thousand taels of gold."
Shunxi stood beside Bai Lingxian, and his buttocks were coldly twisted by Bai Lingxian's hanging hand, and he screamed in a sharp voice.
"Hey, hey-I said that your brothers are really stupid, our family can be ordered to take Dr. Bai into the palace, if she cures the nobles, don't say a thousand taels of gold, even if the gold is ten thousand taels, it's a matter of one sentence!"
Shun Xi resisted the urge to rub his buttocks, grinning and cooperating with Bai Lingxian to finish speaking, obviously feeling that the man in black heard the golden taels, and his eyes brightened.
"Hmph, that's nice, how do we know that you didn't mean to lie and take the opportunity to get out?!"
Bai Lingxian knocked on the palace lamp on the carriage and chuckled.
"I'm just a civilian, and when I entered the palace, I was ordered to treat nobles, are you worried that I'm gone? If you come to kill me, I must have figured out where my family lives and what you usually do, right? If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, what are you afraid of?! Shouldn't it be that I'm worried that you're not keeping your word, and you're going to kill me if you take the money? ”
The people in black looked at each other, and felt that what Bai Lingxian said was very reasonable, although a few people had just received the task, and they didn't have time to step on it, but this would never be revealed, so as not to be looked down upon by the other party, if this reputation spread, it would be even more difficult to receive a job.
"If a few people are still not at ease, it is better to send two people to guard my house, and the remaining few will follow behind the carriage and guard near the palace gate, so that if I don't have a thousand taels of gold when I come out, it will be reasonable for you to kill me again."
"Okay! Just do as you say. ”
A few black-clothed people quickly divided the work, and the leader silently walked behind the carriage as if he was about to squat at the palace gate, Bai Lingxian sat back in the carriage with a fixed mind and patted Shunxi's shoulder.
"Thank you father-in-law for your cooperation."
The corners of Shunxi's mouth habitually rose, but when he thought of the three black-clothed killers following behind the carriage, the smile raised was a little uglier than crying, and Bai Lingxian was busy comforting when he saw this.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, it'll be fine."
Shun Xi was once again infected by Bai Lingxian's composure, and looked at her with a glint of hope in his eyes.
"Doctor Bai is so sure that the queen's mother and son are safe?"
"No, it's just that if I can't keep the queen's mother and son safe, I shouldn't be able to get out of the palace alive, so I won't be able to worry about these killers, and if I talk to the master, maybe I can get a pound of pig's head meat, at least two taels of pig's head meat, right?"
“......”
