Chapter 259: A Critical Moment
"Daddy. щ.com”
Xiao Lingwei saw Xiao Linhui appear at the gate of the palace, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran towards Xiao Linhui.
How did you know that Xiao Linhui walked forward with her head down, deaf to her call.
"Daddy."
Suddenly someone grabbed her arm, and Xiao Lingwei's smiling face appeared in front of her, Xiao Linhui came back to her senses, but reacted slowly, "Hey, why are you here?" ”
Xiao Ling dragged him slightly in the direction of the carriage, "Daddy, forgot?" You promised me to take me to East City today. ”
"Oh, yes, that's what happened." Xiao Linhui pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and he forgot about it.
Xiao Ling looked at his unrelenting appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Daddy, what's wrong?" Is something happening? ”
Xiao Linhui opened his mouth, moved twice, thought about it, and finally said, "It's nothing." ”
Then he smiled: "Aren't you going to Dongshi?" Go, Daddy will take you, whatever you want to buy, Daddy will buy it for you. ”
Xiao Ling asked slightly, "Is Daddy rich?" ”
Xiao Linhui's face showed embarrassment, and he said hesitantly, "There is this, but there are not many."
Xiao Lingwei saw his look, snickered in her heart, patted her chest, and said boldly, "It's okay, I have money, what Daddy wants to buy today, I'll buy it for you." ”
Xiao Linhui was even more embarrassed, "Your mother is really eccentric, she gives you a lot of money, and she doesn't know how to add some to me." ”
As soon as this complaint began, it was endless, and after getting into the carriage, Xiao Linhui began to spit out bitterness to Xiao Ling, which was nothing more than complaining that Yang Huijun was in charge of the family's finances, and only gave him a small amount of money every month, so that he could not eat and drink as he wanted.
After spitting out the bitter water, my heart is much more comfortable, and even the depressed mood of being inexplicably released is relieved.
However, after complaining, Xiao Linhui became much more sober, and began to worry about her future life, and hurriedly told Xiao Lingwei, "You are not allowed to tell your mother what I just told you." ”
Xiao Lingwei already laughed in her heart, her face was serious, and she stretched out her hand towards Xiao Linxuan.
Xiao Linhui looked at her hand and wondered, "What are you doing?" ”
The brain is really not open, Xiao Ling sighed slightly in her heart, and said, "Of course, it is a hush money." ”
"Hush money?" Xiao Linhui was so angry that she blew her beard and glared at her: "It's such a, and you still ask me for hush money?" ”
The next moment, with a flattering face, "How much?" ”
The speed of this face change is staggering, Xiao Lingwei definitely didn't expect her father to have such a stunt, which really impressed her.
Xiao Ling thought for a moment and said, "I don't want money, as long as my father promises me a condition." ”
Xiao Linhui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that his daughter Lion would open her mouth and ask for thousands of taels of silver, then he really couldn't take it out. Now as long as you agree to her one condition, it will be much easier.
"On what terms?"
Xiao Ling hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and said slowly, "As long as I have a difference of opinion with my mother in the future, my father will be on my side." ”
Xiao Linhui was shocked in her heart, this request is not big, it is not small, if you are on her daughter's side, you will naturally have to go against your wife.
Madame's temper is so short-tempered, and it will definitely not end well to go against her. But if his daughter tells his wife everything he just said, then he will not want to have a peaceful birthday in the future.
It's a big deal that the two of them have a disagreement in the future, so he can speak tactfully, and both sides will not be offended.
And the mud, who wouldn't? Xiao Linhui was proud of his wit, so he thought about it, Xiao Linhui slapped Xiao Lingwei's palm, and high-fived him as an oath, "Okay, gentleman's word"
Xiao Lingwei immediately continued: "It's hard to chase the horse." ”
The carriage soon arrived in Dongshi, and after Xiao Ling got off the carriage, he was like a wild horse that had broken off, look here and there, and the slave behind him quickly had things in his hands.
"It's delicious." Xiao Ling slightly threw a piece of snack into her mouth.
Xiao Linhui teased her, "Look at you like this, if you let Mama He and Mama Qi see it, they will definitely talk about you." ”
Xiao Lingwei didn't care, "They're not here, haha." ”
As he spoke, he stuffed the snack in his hand to Xiao Linhui, "Daddy, too." He went back to Lan Hai and took another piece of food.
Xiao Linhui shook his head with a smile, looking at Xiao Lingwei's eyes full of doting.
The group was talking and laughing on the street, watching the excitement, eating snacks, so unhappy, unaware that danger was approaching them.
In the window position of the restaurant on the left, a burly young man was staring at Xiao Linhui below, and the eyes of the entourage beside him flashed with cruelty, "My lord, let's do it?" The fifth prince has commanded, Xiao Linhui must be dealt with today. ”
The young man's eyes were calm, and his tone was calm, "Don't rush, wait for them to go to a place where there are fewer people before we do it, otherwise we will be more troublesome in dealing with the aftermath." ”
The attendant was silent, staring closely at the group below.
In the inn diagonally opposite, Lu Mian looked out through the small hole in the window paper, and could just see the young man's every move.
"It seems that they are about to start acting, and they are ordered to go down, strengthen their vigilance, and be sure to protect the safety of Lord Xiao and the county lord."
Immediately someone went out to give orders.
The closer they got to the end of the street, the fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and when Xiao Linhui and Xiao Lingwei walked out of the study, the sun was setting, and the faint afterglow was scattered on the ground, and after a while, it gradually disappeared.
The killers hiding in the shadows stared at Xiao Linhui while looking up at the sky from time to time, and as soon as the signal appeared, they would rush up and cut off Xiao Linhui's head.
It may be that they are too eager to assassinate Xiao Linhui, or it may be that Lu Mian's people are good at secretly following them, and they didn't notice that anyone was staring at them at all.
Xiao Lingwei suddenly stopped and pulled Xiao Linhui to her side, "Be on guard, have a murderous aura." ”
Lan Hai immediately stuffed the things in his hand into the hands of the little guy who had no martial arts, pulled out his saber and blocked it in front of Xiao Lingwei and Xiao Linxuan, and looked around vigilantly.
Xiao Linhui was stunned by their posture.
And the killers in the dark were suddenly shocked, the little girl's vigilance was too high, right? Or did they startle the snake?
"Bang."
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the air, and everyone looked up to see that it was a beautiful blue firework.
Xiao Ling was slightly startled: "That's a signal." ”
Who's signaling?
What does that signal mean?
Is it related to the sudden murderous aura?
She could feel that these murderous aura were coming at her own group of people, so did the signal in the air have something to do with it?
Xiao Lingwei quickly turned her brain while raising her vigilance and staring at the movements around her.
"Signal? What signal? Xiao Linhui looked at the dim sky, his eyes full of doubts.
He had been slowing down a beat, and when he looked up into the sky, he could only see a glimmer of light passing by, and then it was gone.
Xiao Linhui has never been in the barracks, and he has never seen people in the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't know anything about signals and arrows at all.
But Xiao Lingwei had been in the Anbei Protectorate for a while, and had seen wars in the army or to transmit information, sometimes using arrows, and some special fireworks signals, so she recognized at a glance that it was a signal, and a conspiracy was brewing around
