Chapter 161: Midnight Sneak Attack

Leng Chen couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Qian Fan's words: "You mean, the emperor may not have received the news of our return to Beijing at all!" ”

"Not only did the emperor not receive it, maybe the messenger is no longer there," Qian Fan said with a frown, "We seem to have offended someone!" ”

"You mean the Courier was killed?" Leng Chen took a deep breath, couldn't help but look at Yue Chongnan and said, "Brother-in-law, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Fan'er is right, maybe the messenger didn't deliver the letter at all," Yue Chongnan sighed and said: "Companion is like a tiger, since the emperor has not received the news that we have left for Beijing, then I will rush back as soon as possible." ”

"Father, what I'm worried about now is that the messenger was sent by someone who secretly wanted to deal with us, and if he brought back bad news for my father......" Qian Fan paused, walked a few steps in the room and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor is waiting for my father to go back, and then I will ask my father for his guilt!" ”

"No," Yue Chongnan shook his head and said, "I, Yue Chongnan, am not afraid of shadows, even if it is fake news brought back, the emperor will definitely not believe it!" ”

"Fan'er, it's better to be like this," Seeing that Qianfan was still going to object, Nalan Minhao immediately interrupted her and said, "I'll accompany my father-in-law to rush back to the capital first, and Leng Chen will accompany you to come slowly behind, okay?" ”

"Minhao!" Qian Fan looked at Nalan Minhao in confusion, but he took a deep look at him, and had to swallow back the words he was about to say.

"Then do it," Yue Chongnan nodded, got up and walked out, and said as he walked: "Rest for the night tonight, let's leave early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Why did you stop me just now?" Qian Fan waited until he and Nalan Minhao returned to his room, and then asked in a low voice: "The matter of the emperor issuing three holy decrees in a row is already strange, and it is definitely not appropriate for my father to go back in such a hurry!" ”

"Fan'er, my father-in-law has always been very loyal to the emperor, so it is impossible for you to persuade him not to ignore the emperor's will," Nalan Minhao patiently explained: "Although I don't know why you are so disdainful of the imperial power, you must know that your father-in-law is the most loyal and patriotic person, so when he knows that someone is deceiving the emperor, he will definitely not ignore it!" ”

"But my father's departure is likely to be a trap!" Although Qianfan knew that what Nalan Minhao said was the truth, he still couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and he rarely played a little bit at Nalan Minhao, and said with a reluctant look: "If there is something really wrong with my father, what can you do!" ”

"Sail!" Nalan Minhao held her hand, looked at her with some hurt and said, "I feel very uncomfortable when you say that, I don't want anything to happen to my father-in-law, because I don't want you to be sad, right?" It's unfair to me that you say that, you know how much I want to accompany you back to Beijing. ”

Qian Fan was a little guilty by what Nalan Minhao said, lowered his head and was silent for a while before he whispered: "I'm sorry, Minhao, I was too anxious." ”

It's not that she doesn't know that Nalan Minhao doesn't like to go back to Beijing in advance, if he has a choice, he would rather accompany her to play slowly and leisurely in the capital, but because he is worried about his father's safety, he is willing to replace her to accompany his father back to Beijing first, he has done what he can do, and she really shouldn't blame him.

"Silly girl, I don't blame you," Nalan Minhao rubbed her hair, smiled slightly and said, "Didn't we say okay?" I have to say whatever I think, so that there will be no misunderstanding, so I will tell you my thoughts and feelings, Fan'er, my father-in-law has made a decision, and you can't change it, so it's better for me to accompany him to figure out what's going on. ”

"You must be careful in everything, if, I mean if," Qianfan didn't know why, she always felt very uneasy, so she raised her eyes and looked at Nalan Minhao and said: "If the emperor really wants to be unfavorable to your father, you must protect yourself first, only if you are okay, can it be possible to save your father." ”

"Why do you always think something is going to happen?" Nalan Minhao sighed and comforted: "Maybe the emperor really just has something important to see his father-in-law, so don't think about it so much, you know?" ”

"Well," Qianfan was held in Nalan Minhao's arms, relieved a lot, and then said with a long sigh of relief: "I hope I just think about it too much, and I can rest assured that you are all safe." ”

Early the next morning, Yue Chongnan and Nalan Minhao rode away directly with a few people, while Leng Chen led people to escort Leng and Qianfan's carriage and then hurried away, and they drove for more than ten days in a row, and everyone was safe except for some fatigue.

On this day, because of the heavy rain yesterday, the carriage went very slowly, and it was dark before it reached the village, because it was not an official road, and the road was not very easy to walk, so Leng Chen and Qianfan decided to camp in the same place after discussing it.

After settling Leng and Yue Lengyu, Qian Fan took Cui Yan and Cui Liu to look around, and when he found that this place was in an open area, Qian Fan suddenly felt a little unsafe, so he whispered a few words to Cui Yan.

After Cuiyan listened, although she was a little puzzled, she still nodded and left, and then Qianfan said to Cuiliu: "Cheer up tonight, I feel a little uneasy in my heart, I hope it's just that I think too much." ”

"Girl, you've been a little nervous since you knew you were going back to Beijing," Cui Yan looked at Qianfan and frowned, and couldn't help but persuade: "Maybe it's not as complicated as you think, isn't it okay if we stayed in the capital for so long before?" ”

"The easiest thing in the world to change is not time, but people's hearts." Qian Fan looked at the starry sky and said lightly: "When you find out about the change, the danger is actually approaching, so you must solve the unstable factors before the change." ”

Cui Yan obviously didn't quite understand what Qian Fan was talking about, but when she saw Qian Fan looking at the starry sky, she didn't make a sound to disturb until Cui Yan walked back and said to her, "Girl, it's already arranged." ”

"Well, I hope I'm just thinking about everything." Qian Fan looked at the dark surroundings, a trace of fierceness crossed his eyes, and he said fiercely: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will punish them!" ”

In the middle of the night, when all the people in the camp were asleep, more than a dozen black-clothed people took advantage of the night to sneak into Qianfan's tent and slashed at the people on the bed, but after the cut, they found that there was no movement at all, and they lifted the quilt only to find that there was no one below at all!

"Oh no, it's a trick! Come on! One of the men in black said immediately, but they only walked a few steps, and immediately fell to the ground with convulsions, only to hear the sound of swords falling to the ground in the tent where Leng Chen and Leng Shi were, and immediately understood that they had all been tricked!

When Xiao Deng led the third battalion of Shenji to drag more than a dozen people to the camp, blazing torches lit around him, illuminating the entire camp extraordinarily brightly, and the leader of the black-clothed men saw a girl in a red uniform sitting opposite them, drinking tea leisurely, and looking at them expressionlessly.

"Say, Who sent you?" Xiao Deng kicked the leader of the men in black and spoke viciously.

"You knew we were coming?" The leader of the men in black was kicked and convulsed again, and he couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice.

"yes, I'm a person who always likes to take one step and see three steps, so it's just a trick." Qian Fan asked Cui Yan to arrange with Leng Chen, and after the camp was settled, he immediately asked the Leng clan to take Yue Lengyu to find another place to rest, while she had been waiting here with the Shenji Battalion for this group of sneak attackers.

"How would you know!" The leader didn't seem to believe that Qian Fan would have guessed that they were coming to attack tonight, and immediately asked in a deep voice, "What the hell did you put in the tent!" ”

"I said, I guessed," Qian Fan heard the man's question, and immediately held his chin and said, "Ah, what did you say, let me think about it, it seems to be some kind of Gu worm, if you don't tell the truth, they will drill through your belly!" ”

"Hmph...... If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! The leader of the man in black was about to close his mouth, but his chin was removed by Feng Ye's arrow step, and he suddenly shivered in pain, and looked at Feng Ye fiercely.

"Okay, I'm glaring at it," Qian Fan couldn't help yawning when he saw the man's indignant appearance, and said lightly: "If you want to die, I will naturally let you die happily!" Now, would you like to say something? ”

Seeing that the leader looked ignorant, Qian Fan smiled slightly, waved his hand and said to Xiao Deng: "Serve!" ”

"Yes! Major General! Xiao Deng casually dragged out a man in black, took out a pill and fed it to the man, and after a while, the man suddenly twitched wildly, his arms and legs were all broken and he couldn't stop, and the men in black watched in horror as the man twitched with pain on his face until he didn't have any breath anymore.

"How? Does anyone want to say? Dead quiet, Qian Fan nodded with a smile and said, "Very good, since everyone doesn't want to talk about it, let's have a few more!" ”

The leader of the men in black just collapsed on the ground, watching his brother being tortured to death in all kinds of strange ways, but he couldn't do anything, his eyes were red and he looked at Qianfan, eager to break the corpse of this girl with a light face as if all this was just swimming in the lake and admiring the flowers!

"Tsk, you don't have to look at me with that kind of look," Qian Fan said with an innocent smile and a little joy in his tone: "It was your ignorance of the times that killed them, not me!" ”

"I say! I say! Just when there were only five people left in the black, looking at those who were dying miserably but couldn't make any sound, one of them finally couldn't bear it and shouted, "I'll say anything!" ”

"Oh?" Qian Fan smiled at the leader of the men in black with satisfaction: "It seems that there are still reasonable people, tell me who sent you?" ”

The leader of the man in black glared at the man who spoke, but what people were most afraid of now was an unknown tragic death, so he ignored him directly, and said tremblingly: "I don't know who he is, I only see a centipede-like scar on his arm, every time he comes to see the boss, he will wear a hat, and he will speak in a strange voice, as if he is pinching his throat to speak, I only know this, please let me go!" ”
