Xiao Yao reacted quickly, and as soon as the guy made a move, he noticed it and dodged to the right.

But there is also the boss, and under the two large plates of braised beef, there are two sharp daggers. He calculated Xiao Yao's dodge route, and he had been waiting for a long time, seeing that Xiao Yao was about to hit the dagger.

However, Xiao Yao has experienced a hundred battles, and in such a dangerous situation, he stepped on the ground with his feet as if he had taken root. In a state of horse stride, his body leaned back, and he was able to dodge two daggers.

But no sooner had he dodged the dagger than the two men's short knives slashed at him again.

Xiao Yao did a backflip, plus the carp jumped up, took out the soft sword, and fought with them. The guards and entourage sitting next to him had already pounced.

Gu Dian was closer, one step faster than the guards, and directly stopped the boss.

The boss and the two men, seeing that the raid failed, and there was no hope of assassination. The three of them didn't love to fight, so they saw a loophole and directly used the weapons in their hands to cut themselves off.

In an instant, the three bodies were lying on the ground. And the guards sitting outside the tea house didn't have time to rush in, and the fight was over.

Gu Dian's face was pale, he didn't expect that in this teahouse where people came and went, the boss and his companions would be assassins.

If it weren't for Xiao Yao's own strong martial arts and quick reaction, it was very likely that he would have been succeeded by them.

Because Gu Dian had already looked at it carefully, the short knives and daggers they were holding in their hands were all quenched venom and tinged with blue, which should have sealed their throats with blood.

Xiao Yao was also afraid for a while, and when the guys came over, he didn't notice the slightest abnormality.

If it weren't for being on the battlefield for a long time, he was very sensitive to murderous aura, and his body automatically reacted at that moment, he might have died on the spot.

Lu Fei was also stunned, and wondered: "Master Hou, who wants to assassinate Master Hou?" ”

Xiao Yao didn't answer, but said, "It's okay, let's go first." ”

Gu Dian disagreed, sat down and said, "Xiao Yao, this matter can't be like this. If you want to make a big deal about this, let the emperor and Mingzhu, and the queen mother know, and the people behind the scenes will be taboo. ”

"Everything is subject to Gu Shibo's arrangement."

Xiao Yao looked at the three people on the ground and motioned for Lu Fei to check it to see if there were any identity plates.

Gu Dian immediately arranged for the two to return to Dazhou City, and immediately notified Dazhou Governor Yin to come here with his officials. File a case and investigate it.

Since they can pretend to be the boss of this tea house, they must have come here for more than a day, and if they continue to track down, they will definitely be able to follow the vine.

Lu Fei didn't find anything in the three of them that could prove their identity. Of course, this is also expected by Xiao Yao, such a precise assassination should not leave any flaws.

Gu Dian summoned Xiao Yao to the open space outside the tea house, and said in a deep voice: "How are you feeling now, do you dare to go back to Beijing?" ”

Xiao Yao's expression was firm, and he said with a smile: "Gu Shibo, don't worry, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will also break through." No one can stop me from returning to Beijing, and Mingzhu is still waiting for me in the capital. ”

Gu Dian saw that Xiao Yao was so determined, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

"Xiao Yao, don't worry, I will escort you all the way. Whoever wants to kill you must first step over my corpse. ”

Xiao Yao hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Thank you Gu Shibo for your kindness, I believe that if it weren't for their scruples, the means of assassination against me would definitely not be so gentle." The younger generation is already stained with Gu Shibo's light. ”

"You and I will soon be a family, not two words. In the remaining few days, we all need to be extra careful not to have any more accidents. I will immediately fly a pigeon and send a message to the Queen Mother to send someone to help ensure that you return to Beijing safely. ”

Xiao Yao originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Gu Dian with a sad expression, he knew that he remembered the regret of Bottle Mountain back then, so he no longer refused.

Soon Dazhou Mansion Yin brought the officials to the scene, saluted and saluted: "The lower officials have seen the master of the horse, the Marquis of Yingyi." ”

"Lord Fu Yin doesn't need to be polite."

Gu Dian let the frightened Fu Yin get up and roughly explain what had happened.

Zhengse instructed: "I will leave two people to assist Fu Yin in investigating the case, and I must find out the origin of these three assassins, as well as the comrades lurking in Dazhou." ”

"Yes, the lower officials must investigate to the end!"

After explaining, Gu Dian and Xiao Yao did not stay for long, but got on their horses and continued to go to the town in front.

Three days later, Empress Dowager Zhong in the capital received the news that Xiao Yao was almost assassinated. was full of anger and attracted Father-in-law.

"You immediately let Ye 13 send someone out of the city to pick up Xiao Yao. Then tell the emperor euphemistically, let him find something for Yan Rongling to do, don't let him have any more time, do his hands. ”

"Yes, don't worry, the Queen Mother, I'll do it right away."

After Gonggong Wan stepped down, Empress Dowager Zhong was still depressed. Mama Fang offered tea and comforted: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, with Gu and the horse all the way, Marquis Xiao will be fine." ”

"There are no absolutes in this world, when Gu Dian went to Jiangnan, everyone thought that no one dared to do anything to him. As a result, he still has no return? also caused Liuyue to go sadly, and let the white-haired people of the mourning family send the black-haired people. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong is now thinking about Mingzhu, so she doesn't want Mingzhu to also experience what her mother experienced back then.

"Xiuchun, let people warn Yan Rongling."

Mama Fang hesitated a little, and said cautiously: "Queen Mother, even we all suspect that it was the prince's hand." But there is no basis for this, if the queen mother moves the prince, I am afraid that the emperor will be jealous. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong also knew that this was inappropriate, closed her eyes, and sighed lightly: "Okay, there is no need to warn Yan Rongling." You go and tell the Emperor to come over for dinner tonight. ”

That night, Emperor Hongzheng came to Cining Palace to accompany Empress Dowager Zhong for dinner.

Seeing that the table was full of his favorite dishes, he said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has been getting better and better recently, and when Xiao Yao comes back and Mingzhu gets married, the Queen Mother will be even happier." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong also smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, the mourning family is worried about this girl's marriage, and when she gets married, the mourning family will be fine." ”

"The Queen Mother is afraid that she can't be light, and when Mingzhu gets married, she will soon have an heir. Last time, Mingzhu muttered that she wanted to ask the Queen Mother to raise her children. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng has been in a very good mood recently, all parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been peaceful, and most of the court affairs have been shared by Rong Ling. also saw that Mingzhu got married, and the palace was going to have a happy event.

Empress Dowager Zhong said angrily: "The mourning family is old, I'm afraid I can't hold my great-grandson." But speaking of children, is there still no movement in the Prince's East Palace? ”

This is also Emperor Hong Zheng, the only place where he is dissatisfied with Yan Rongling.

"Queen Mother, this child is fate, I have already asked the imperial doctor, who have seen Rong Ling and the crown princess respectively, as well as the people in the backyard of the East Palace, there is no problem."

Empress Dowager Zhong said with a smile: "Of course the mourning family knows that there is no problem with the prince, but you don't want to hand over all political affairs to the prince." The prince has been busy for more than half a month and has not returned to the East Palace. ”
