Chapter 216: Assassination
Su Mulian looked at Concubine Ning's expression, her heart trembled, and an ominous premonition appeared, but she didn't think much about it, got into the carriage, and set off.
After all, she is in the palace, and she can only deal with Su Muzhi, and Su Muzhi is Liang Guang's biological daughter, and she is a veritable princess, and now she has more than a dozen dares from Concubine Ning, and she doesn't dare right now.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and he has left the capital for dozens of kilometers, the road is bumpy, Su Mulian's boat and car are tired, but he doesn't dare to stop, after all, Cheng Aoran at the border is still waiting for him.
"Chief Lin." Su Mulian finally couldn't hold on and called out loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the carriage stopped, and only the sound of horses' hooves from far to near was heard by the window, and then a gentle man's voice sounded: "May I ask what the princess commands?" ”
"It's been three days, let's rest for a while." Su Mulian said hypocritically.
Then, as soon as Lin Xuan's order came out, everyone rested in place, and of course Yi Dong knew that she was going to get out of the car and walk around, so he handed over the veil, put it on, and got out of the carriage.
"Princess, please drink water." Lin Xuan, who was holding the kettle, stopped Su Mulian and said.
Su Mulian, who was stunned for a few seconds, took it with a smile, and handed it to him after a few sips.
Lin Xuan is a gentle man, but he talks too little and has a dull temperament, and he is very respectful to her.
"Leader Lin has also worked hard all the way, let's go rest for a while." Su Mulian looked at him following behind and said with a smile.
After all, it's really weird that someone is following.
"Protecting the princess is an accusation of a minion." Lin Xuan replied in a low voice, insisting on following.
Su Mulian sighed helplessly, this tenacious man, it's just enough, it's good to be air, this is her strength.
At this moment, I saw more than a dozen black people descending from the sky, and the keen Lin Xuan hurriedly protected Su Mulian and Yi Dong, drew his sword, and shouted: "Protect the princess!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the guard, who was sitting on the stone and looked tired, immediately recovered his spirits, drew his sword and came out to surround Su Mulian.
And the men in black were already surrounded by them, and the number of people on both sides was about the same, but Su Mulian was very worried, after all, everyone had to be distracted from her, and directly told her that these men in black were coming at her.
"Who are you?" Lin Xuan, who frowned, asked angrily in a low voice.
The leader of the masked man in black chuckled coldly and said, "Hand over this woman." ”
After Su Mulian heard this, she was sure in her heart, sure enough, she suddenly remembered what Concubine Ning said to her when she left the palace, and she was shocked, could it be someone sent by Concubine Ning?
"Do you know who she is?" Lin Xuan asked angrily.
"Huh!" The leader sneered, didn't put the person in front of him in his eyes at all, and said, "Who doesn't know Princess Zhaohua?" ”
Su Mulian was not in danger, but sneered in a low voice, and mocked slowly: "Concubine Ning's hand is really long!" ”
This seemed to anger the other party, and I saw that the leader frowned, and then with an order, the people in black took action.
The two sides also fought, and Lin Xuan had been defending to the death because he wanted to protect Su Mulian.
"Take me to the carriage." Su Mulian knew that this scene would suffer at the moment, so she ordered.
Although Lin Xuan's martial arts are good, he can only defend and not attack, and he protects the two women, after all, it is not an easy thing, so he finally moved to the side of the carriage.
Su Mulian quickly got into the carriage, picked up the long whip and got out of the carriage, looking at three or five people surrounding Lin Xuan, only to see a long sword of a man in black stabbing at Lin Xuan, who couldn't dodge.
Immediately after that, Su Mulian's heart tightened, and she swung the long whip and hit the wrist of the man in black, and he was defenseless, he was in pain, and the long sword also fell to the ground.
Her move surprised Lin Xuan a little.
"I'll protect Edon, and you deal with these assassins." Su Mulian, who jumped out of the carriage, would protect her behind her, and the whipping in her hand did not stop, and said to Lin Xuan.
It's just that between these words, she has already made several black-clothed people peel their flesh.
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, and then dealt with the man in black wholeheartedly.
And Su Mulian whipped the man in black, thinking in her heart that this weapon was a hundred times better than a sword, so she became more and more energetic, increased the strength in her hand, and vented all the hatred for Ning Concubine in her heart on these men in black.
After all, the people who followed were a royal forest army sent by Liang Guangqin, and they easily defeated the man in black to the ground.
Lin Xuan, who was holding a long sword in his hand, aimed at the neck of the person who took the lead, his eyes were sharp, and he asked sharply: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
I saw that the man in black frowned, and then spat blood from his mouth and lost his breath.
He ...... He's dead? Yi Dong, who had never encountered such a scene, hid behind Su Mulian tremblingly, and asked incredulously.
Before Lin Xuan could answer, he heard Su Mulian say: "I took the poison beforehand, I know who sent it, but there is no evidence, I am really angry!" ”
Su Mulian, who pouted and felt very aggrieved, whipped the corpse and said helplessly.
"The princess actually knows martial arts?" Lin Xuan looked at her curiously, and asked incredibly, with a little appreciation.
"Isn't it strange that I know martial arts?" Su Mulian returned with some dissatisfaction.
Lin Xuan realized his rudeness, and hurriedly replied: "The slave has no other intentions, it's just a little strange, this assassination, the slave will definitely report to the emperor, and ask the princess to calm her anger." ”
Su Mulian waved her hand: "I'm not angry, it's just that I don't have evidence to accuse Concubine Ning, so Chief Lin doesn't have to report my speculation." ”
Lin Xuan nodded: "Princess, let's continue on our way." ”
Su Mulian nodded, now in the mountains, and was not familiar with the surroundings, so she left quickly, and then got into the carriage.
Su Mulian looked at Yi Dong, who was pale in front of her and had not yet recovered her senses, and said distressedly: "Do you regret coming out with me?" ”
Yi Dong's body was excited, and he shook his head without hesitation, and said, "The slave doesn't regret it." ”
Su Mulian was moved in her heart, took her hand, and continued to comfort: "Don't worry, with me, it will be fine." ”
Yi Dong, whose whole body was tense, swallowed his saliva, nodded, and asked in a low voice, "Princess, will Concubine Ning still send people in black?" ”
Su Mulian shook her head: "Don't worry, she's not so stupid, these dozen people sent by the emperor are all Imperial Forest Army, and the leader of Lin is strong in martial arts, I think she is just fighting this time." ”
"Besides, when this matter is passed back, the emperor also knows who it is related to, and will pay special attention to it, if she makes another move, she will only harm herself in the end." The corners of Su Mulian's mouth raised slightly, and she said with a smile.
Although Yi Dong was born in the palace, he was simple and didn't understand the conspiracy and calculations of the harem, so he nodded as if he didn't understand.
Su Mulian subconsciously clenched Yi Dong's hand and let out a long sigh: "What I'm most worried about right now is Muzhi." ”
