Chapter 239: Being Targeted

After waiting for several days, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the air gradually became moister, and from time to time a few cool gusts of wind blew through, blowing cold on the body.

"Looks like there's going to be a heavy rain tonight." Qian Qianqian stood in front of the window, the wooden window was half-hidden, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"There has always been little rain on the frontier, although this rain is a good thing, but it is easy to make mistakes on rainy days, which many people understand, so it is inevitable that some people will take this opportunity to make trouble."

Xue Yi stood behind Qian Qianqian, her expression became solemn, until today, the central country has no intention of surrendering, and still sends troops to defend the border city, which is not a good thing.

"You're right, the people of the central country have always been cunning, maybe they will take this opportunity to fight to the death, presumably the general side should also think of this, you don't have to guard me, go and help the general."

Qian Qianqian did not deny it, but gave a faint order, and after Xue Yi sent the wine and meat to the military camp outside the city, she went straight back to Jincheng, and according to Xiao Mohan's instructions, she protected her closely, and never left half a step.

"The general doesn't need subordinates for the time being, there is a wind watching outside, and his subordinates must protect your safety closely."

Xue Yi said it categorically, but Qian Qianqian felt that something was wrong, she had been staying in the house for the past few days, what danger could she have? Xue Yi was so vigilant that she couldn't help but wonder.

It was getting late, and a rain finally fell, and it was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed likely to rain all night, and a gust of wind struck, blowing a lot of rain into the house, and Xue Yi walked over and closed the wooden window.

"Boss Qian, it's not early, you go and rest, your subordinates are keeping vigil outside, if you have any orders, call your subordinates."

Xue Yi led Qian Qianqian to the back of the screen, and helped Qian Qianqian to sit on the edge of the bed, Qian Qianqian didn't say anything, and watched Xue Yi walk out.

The rain in this Xinjiang is not like Lianzhou City, it comes quickly, without the slightest gentleness, and the sound of dripping rain is connected, which is very harsh and noisy, and has the potential to destroy the world.

Qian Qianqian was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, somehow, she always felt that something was going to happen tonight, but if she thought about it carefully, she didn't know what could happen.

Suddenly there was a strange sound at the door, Qian Qianqian suddenly woke up, lifted the quilt on her body, and was about to get out of bed, when a cold arrow hit her, she immediately dodged, the arrow flew by her side, and it was almost about to pierce her chest.

Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, turned over and got out of bed, and ran to the door barefoot, only to see Xue Yi kick away a man in black, raise the leather whip in his hand, and fight with several other men in black.

One of them saw Qian Qianqian at the door, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that they were coming for her.

Although Xue Yi's martial arts are strong, the martial arts of these black-clothed people are not weak, so it is inevitable that Xueyi will have a place where he is not well prepared, so that a man in black has an opportunity.

The man in black waved the long knife in his hand and stabbed at Qian Qianqian, and when he was about to stab Qian Qianqian, he suddenly regained his strength and grabbed Qian Qianqian's shoulder with his backhand, as if he wanted to take Qian Qianqian away.

"Let go of me-" Qian Qianqian struggled, deliberately raised her voice, took out the dagger in her sleeve, and stabbed at the man in black, who immediately dodged and let go.

The General's Mansion gradually became lively, and in the dripping rain, there were bursts of footsteps, and Steward Li rushed over with a team of family members, and the few people in black saw that something was wrong, so they fled immediately.

"Boss Qian, are you okay?" Xue Yi put away the leather whip, walked to Qian Qianqian's side, and glanced Qian Qianqian up and down.

"It's okay, look at their weapons, they shouldn't be from the central country, why do they want to arrest me?"

Qian Qianqian moved her shoulders, her eyebrows twisted into a dead knot, and her eyes were full of doubts, the martial arts of the people of Yang Guo are slightly different from Xiao Guo, and they also have their own uniqueness in weapons, so she can see that those people in black are not from Yang Guo.

"The news of you escorting grain and grass to the frontier has spread, and now many people in the capital know that although General Xiao is in a high position, there are always some people who are dissatisfied with him, so it is reasonable to secretly send someone to arrest you."

Xue Yi looked calm and explained lightly, there was no ripple in her eyes, it seemed that this matter should be in her expectation.

"No wonder the general wants to send you to protect me, he should have thought about this a long time ago, who sent those men in black?"

Qian Qianqian's expression became solemn, the man in black just now was really ruthless, her shoulders were about to be crushed, if it wasn't for her expectations, her shoulders should have been pinched out of a dark blue, so she must figure out who was behind this.

"The situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, the clouds are treacherous, Boss Qian, you have never been to the capital, you stay in Lianzhou all the year round, so you don't know much about these things, the more the emperor is a general, the more people are jealous, so if you want to find out who is behind the scenes, I am afraid you have to wait for the general to return to Beijing."

Xue Yi's face did not change, and she said very firmly, in this way, Qian Qianqian didn't ask any more questions, it seems that this Xiao Guo is far less calm than it seems on the surface, and there should be Xiao Mohan's henchmen in trouble on the side of the court.

The rain was still falling outside, and there was a lot of standing water in the courtyard, so Steward Li took those family members to check around to see if there were any unscrupulous people lurking in the dark.

"What about General Xiao, isn't he in the mansion?"

Qian Qianqian was a little puzzled, Xiao Mohan's room was next door to her, when Xue Yi was fighting with those black-clothed people just now, there was not the slightest movement next door, if Xiao Mohan was there, he should not ignore it.

"The general left the house before it got dark, and he was afraid that those people from the central country would take advantage of the rain to wait for an opportunity, so he should be in the military camp outside the city right now."

Xue Yi knew about Xiao Mohan's arrangement early on, but she was afraid that leaking this matter would make Qian Qianqian feel uneasy, so she simply didn't leak the news, and few people in the mansion knew that Xiao Mohan had left the house.

Qian Qianqian didn't make a sound, turned around and walked into the room, her heart was also worried, her eyes lowered slightly, and her brows were twisted into a dead knot.

Since someone in the capital is eyeing her, the person who attacked her business in Lianzhou City may not be a spy from the central country, although Lianzhou City is Xiao Mohan in charge, but now Xiao Mohan is far away in the frontier, maybe those people will do something to her family.

Originally, Qian Qianqian was not in a hurry to go back, thinking that there were Mu Tianyue and Zhou Lin staring at Lianzhou, no matter what happened, she would save her family's lives, but now that she looks at it, I am afraid that it is not necessarily.

The rain fell all night, and in the early morning of the second day, it finally stopped, and Qian Qianqian had no choice but to wash and change clothes early, and after using some grass for breakfast, she was going to take the servants in the house to plant wheat.

"Boss Qian, good news, last night there were people from the central country who raided the military camp, but they were discovered by General Xiao, and they defeated the enemy again.

Xue Yi ran in in a hurry, and finally a long-lost smile appeared on her face, looking very excited, it seemed that as soon as she got the news, she was in a hurry to come over to inform Qian Qianqian.

"That's great, in that case, can General Xiao also go back to Lianzhou?"

Qian Qianqian was also overjoyed for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, if Xiao Mohan could leave immediately, then she would follow Xiao Mohan and return to Lianzhou, and those villains would not dare to act rashly.

"This is not necessarily, even if the central state wants to surrender, there are a lot of handover matters, if the emperor sends someone from the capital to do it, it will be too troublesome and delay time, so eighty percent will be handed over to the general, it is estimated that every ten days, the general will not be able to go back."

Xue Yi pondered for a moment and guessed in her heart, but judging from her experience, this guess would come true.

"Okay, official business is important, General Xiao has every opportunity, this is all as it should be."

Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, didn't say more, lowered her eyes slightly, her long and thick eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes, although she was a little disappointed, she still understood Xiao Mohan very well.

"Boss Qian, your subordinates know what you're worried about, last night's incident, your subordinates have written to inform the general, and the general won't sit idly by, so don't worry."

Xue Yi seemed to see Qian Qianqian's concerns, and before Qian Qianqian could speak, she comforted Qian Qianqian.

"I know, don't worry, I'm not a vexatious person, and I will understand the general's difficulties."

Qian Qianqian looked at Xue Yi, exchanged glances with Xue Yi, and after speaking, she raised her feet and walked out, leading the slaves straight to the outskirts of Jincheng.

Steward Li and Xue Yi also followed, the land in this Xinjiang is not as good as Lianzhou City, it is not as moist and fertile, so the seeds go down to the ground, and the watering and fertilization in the later stage must not be sloppy.

"Steward Li, I'll list the essentials of watering and fertilizing and the things to pay attention to later, you can take it and think about it, and do what I wrote, so that this wheat seedling can grow in the future."

After all the seeds fell to the ground, Qian Qianqian opened her mouth and ordered, she had to leave to go back to Lianzhou, so she could only manage the wheat here and couldn't continue to stay.

"Yes, Boss Qian." Steward Li is a clever person, and he also knows that Qian Qianqian has unspeakable secrets, so he just nodded and agreed, and didn't ask more.

In the evening, Xiao Mohan returned to the General's Mansion from the barracks, dressed in military uniform, with a little tiredness on his face, and it could be seen that he had been busy since last night.

And Qian Qianqian also packed her things, and was ready to leave for Lianzhou early tomorrow morning, Xiao Mohan learned about this and immediately went to find Qian Qianqian.

"I'm ready to leave for Lianzhou tomorrow, someone attacked me last night, I don't have to worry about my mother, and Xiaofen."

Qian Qianqian just explained simply, last night's incident, Xiao Mohan must know the ins and outs better than her, so she didn't want to talk nonsense.

"Those people have been caught by Yufeng, I warned them, presumably they will inform the master when they go back, don't worry, before I return to Lianzhou, they don't dare to do anything to you and your family."

Xiao Mohan bowed slightly, the cold light in his deep eyes, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, his eyebrows were heroic, and his eyes were scorching, making people shudder.

Qian Qianqian raised her eyes suddenly, listening to Xiao Mohan's words, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but even so, she still wanted to leave, Qian's mother was cowardly, and Qian Fen was still young, if she didn't return, Qian's mother and her family would definitely be suspicious and panicked, which was not a good thing.
