Chapter 55: Assassination

It was rare to have this opportunity to gather and chat with friends, and also taste the coveted feast of demon beasts, Xie Huazhao got so drunk that he listened to his constant nonsense, Xie Qingning had no choice but to get into his carriage and take care of it personally, and the two carriages slowly drove towards Xie Mansion under the thick night.

What happened today made Xie Qingning realize that the Xie clan should let her return to the family tree soon, after all, it was the city lord's wife who opened it herself, and Xie Zhongshu promised in front of everyone in the Xie clan that there should be no other errands. As for whether they would suspect that this matter was related to the prince of Zhengyang, it was not within her control.

And whether Su Ying will listen to her call to find Mrs. Mo's backer and seek protection for her future future, Xie Qingning didn't think deeply, but what she thought about the most was Liu Yingjie, the owner of the "Qunying Pavilion", a hidden master like him was quietly lurking in Lanling City, what was he planning? Could it be related to yourself? Was their meeting tonight accidental or deliberate? What is the purpose?

Just as Xie Qingning's thoughts were flying, he suddenly heard a muffled sound from the carriage driving in front, as if it was stuck by a heavy object, Chu Yi stopped and asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter?" ”

However, no one in the carriage in front of her answered, and soon a faint smell of blood wafted into Xie Qingning's nose, and her heart was suddenly shocked, and she jumped out of the car before she could think about it.

The night was deep, the light on the long street was unusually dim, the surroundings were silent, the people had already fallen into a deep sleep, and the occasional dog barking came from the depths of the street, making it seem more and more strange and scary.

Xie Qingning slowly paced to the carriage in front of him, and he saw the coachman lying on the side of the road, he turned his back to him and did not move, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, but he must have been injured, because the smell of blood that rushed into the tip of his nose became heavier and heavier, making her heart tense.

"Bang Zheng, are you alright? ...... the zither pull, "Xie Qingning whispered to the carriage, but did not get a response from the zither, but there was no bloody breath in the car, and I don't know if it was unconscious or taken away, at this moment, the surrounding breath fluctuations suddenly tightened, and the sound of fine footsteps made her look sideways, only to see more than twenty black-clothed people holding steel knives suddenly rushing out of the lanes on both sides, they instantly surrounded the two carriages like a spring, and the sharp blades were aimed at her, making her breath sluggish.

"Who are you? How dare you commit murder on the street? Xie Qingning narrowed his eyes, slowly walked out of the shadows, and scolded in the street between the two carriages.

However, the man in black didn't answer her words, just raised the knives in his hands one after another, looking at the fierce killing intent in their eyes, Xie Qingning sighed, she didn't want to kill, but someone always forced her to do this, she was annoyed.

Since the killing intent is pressing, she will not sit still, even if there are many people on the other side, she is not afraid.

But just as she gathered the spiritual power into the palm of her hand and was ready to accumulate it and shock everyone in one fell swoop, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted in the air, the smell was extremely familiar but also domineering, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, seeing that the people in black fainted without warning, the sonorous sound of the steel knife falling to the ground was endless, Xie Qingning was overjoyed and whispered, "Second senior brother!" ”

From the darkness in front of her, a man in green clothes slowly walked out, he was extremely tall, burly, peach blossom eyes, thick lips, but an amorous appearance, it was the second senior brother Jiang Yufeng she hadn't seen for many years.

"Do you recognize me?" Yu Feng, who was slowly approaching her, didn't look at the black-clothed people who were put down around her, and looked at her in surprise and asked.

Xie Qingning was stunned for a moment, he was too excited so he lost his voice, and now he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only laugh dryly and said, "I heard that Senior Brother said that the second senior brother looks like a second senior brother, and he also said that you are proficient in medical science, and it is not difficult to identify that this incense is so special, besides, Master, they said before they left that you would come to me, so this is the understanding, senior brother is not strange." ”

Yu Feng stared at her for a long time before saying, "You are so smart, why should I blame you?" But you can't even handle these people, how can you save your life and return to the knees of Master Chenghuan in the valley? ”

Sure enough, I'm still angry when I speak! Xie Qingning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but his little face smiled at him and didn't say anything more, turned around and opened the curtain in front of him first, and saw that the kite was just unconscious and probed the little guy's injury, although it hurt the ribs, but not to the heart, not to die, so he was relieved.

Seeing that she was searching around the man in black again, her demeanor was capable and shrewd, and her expression was thoughtful, Yu Feng didn't say much, just looked at her quietly with her hands behind her back, and waited for her to finish the search before asking, "Senior brother said that the man in black who chased and killed you last time has been abolished by the master, and he shouldn't have made a comeback so soon, so who sent these people?" How do you provoke them? ”

Xie Qingning was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "That man in black was abolished by the master?" ”

"You don't know?" Yu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Xie Qingning was a little surprised, Master has always been kind, how could he be so cruel to the man in black? Could it be that she was just worried that she was too young to cope with it now, so he abolished the other party's cultivation and gave her a chance to gain a buffer?

"We have to go, and if we stay any longer, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the Fucheng prison for tea." Yu Feng's words reminded Xie Qingning, and she hurriedly asked him for the antidote to the drug, woke up Chu Yi and Bang Zheng respectively, and then helped the injured little girl and hurriedly returned to Xie Mansion.

Because he didn't want to alarm others, Xie Qingning could only let Chu Yi and Bang Zheng drive the carriage into the backyard through the side door first, and then support Xie Huazhao, who was too drunk to wake up, to jump over the wall and jump into the bamboo courtyard. ”

"Yes, senior brother, let's have tea," Xie Qingning handed him the hot tea he had personally brewed, but he commented, "Although this place is quiet but so simple, and there are too few rooms, if Master and senior brothers come to see you in the future, won't they have to stay on the streets?" ”

Xie Qingning twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Why don't you let Master and Senior Brothers stay on the streets?" Isn't it still possible to stay at the guest house? ”

Yufeng raised his eyebrows, don't drink tea without speaking.

After he sat for a long time, the chill on his body dissipated, Xie Qingning talked about Xie Tan, Yu Feng didn't refuse, after all, he was ordered by the master to pass by here to take care of her, naturally there was no reason to refuse her, but after seeing Xie Tan's injury, he said that it would take some effort, and there were too many things tonight to talk about it slowly.

In this way, Xie Qingning had no choice but to let Yanyu clean up his room and give it to Yufeng, while she and Bang Zheng hugged the bunk and were squeezed into the master's room and slept lightly for half the night.
