Chapter 191: Assassin
Due to the large number of people on this trip, they were originally arranged to go on their own roads, and Chu Nian intentionally added a Wu Liang to the list of servants - the medicine king also helped take care of Mu Qing at the Mu family, Li Le's legs and feet were inconvenient and the target was too big and easy to be discovered, only Wu Liang had the ability to cure diseases and save people, and it was more than enough to face these rich children and half-catty guards.
As a result, an hour before the trip, Mingyue and Mingqiao came over with their respective carriages, and as soon as the three of them combined, they simply made Mingqiao's car together, anyway, Mingqiao's car was a little bigger in comparison.
Sitting in Mingqiao's carriage, Chu Nian suddenly thought of Mu Qing, remembering that Chu Nian felt ashamed last time she took her carriage, but now she saw Mingqiao's carriage that was more exaggerated than Mu Qing, but she could only have complicated feelings.
Seeing Chu Nian looking at the furnishings in his car thoughtfully, Mingqiao blushed thinly.
"This is, it was originally for others to see, but now that the concubine is back, I haven't had time to clean it up yet, don't laugh at me."
Mingyue on the side had already smiled and bent over: "You let me laugh for a while, who would have imagined that the car of the fifth princess is so unusual, imperial sister, you are really a rare woman in this world." ”
Ming Qiao glared at her angrily, speaking of which, these two people can be regarded as not knowing each other, if it weren't for Chu Nian, the family affection in the harem that would be dispersed as soon as the cool wind blew, the relationship between the two sisters is probably still the well water and the river water, not to mention that now Concubine Liang and Concubine Ling are hand in hand, and the intimacy between these two princesses does not need to be deliberately expressed.
Chu Nian glanced at the two of them thoughtfully, and retracted his eyes, at this time, Ming Qiao saw Wu Liang on the side, and said with some curiosity: "Chu Nian, you servant, why do I look a little angry?" He looks so handsome......"
Wu Liangyu, who was turning his head out of the window to look at the scenery, stiffened, and then, a flush spread from his neck to behind his ears at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, but he didn't look back, just sat there, and no one could see that his body was so stiff that he couldn't move.
Wu Liang was born good-looking, but he looked like he was malnourished when he was a child, and his body was too thin.
Seeing that Wu Liang was shy, Chu Nian couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, she looked at Ming Qiao and said softly: "The fifth princess has taken a fancy to it?" I'll send it to you in a hurry? ”
The three sisters have known each other for a long time, and they only need one look to understand what each other means, and now the two princesses saw Chu Nian's teasing look, and they also had the intention of teasing Wu Liang, so they each looked at each other and smiled.
I saw Uncle Mingyue leaning on the pillow behind him, squinting at Wu Liang and said: "Chu Nian, you are not interesting enough, this palace also feels that this handsome offspring is good, sister let sister, why don't you send him to my palace to play for two days first?" ”
Ming Qiao snickered and said, "Sister Huang, what you said is not right, this person, but the sister of the emperor took a fancy to it first!" ”
Chu Nian glanced at Wu Liang, and at this moment, the man's red ears seemed to be on the verge of rage, but he poured oil unscrupulously.
"Look at what you said, or you all go to my house, and then you can play as much as you want."
"Chu Nian!" Wu Liang was really furious, he stood up, and looked at Chu Nian fixedly with a pair of eyes that flickered with shame: "Don't forget that I'm just here to help you!" I'm not here to be teased by you! ”
As soon as the words came out, Wu Liang found the three sisters who were hiding their faces and snickering, and even more, Ming Qiao was already holding her stomach and laughing.
Knowing that he had been tricked, Wu Liang was even more embarrassed, glared at Ming Qiao angrily, and then sat back down, looking out the window, no matter what the three people who were bored on the journey said.
After laughing enough, Chu Nian said with a straight face: "This trip is extraordinary, the Queen Mother came with a purpose, and I came for insurance, so I brought this heir of the Medicine King Valley." ”
"Medicine Saint." Wu Liang added, and seemed to be very resentful that Chu Nian just called him the heir of the Medicine King Valley.
The three sisters sneered, and Chu Niancai continued: "Ahem, Medicine Saint, I brought him here to prepare for emergencies, I suspect ......"
Mingyue immediately comprehended the second half of Chu Nian's words, and said, "Do you suspect that the Queen Mother will poison us?" ”
Chu Nian didn't speak anymore and nodded.
Seeing this, Mingyue leaned against the corner of the carriage and half-lowered her head, as if she had fallen into her own thoughts, while Mingqiao still looked at Wu Liang curiously.
Chu Nian knew that the gap between the IQs of the two princesses was too big, and she didn't have to explain it too clearly to Mingyue, since she was a child, she had seen too much of the intrigue between Concubine Liang and the Queen Mother, but Mingqiao was too deeply protected by Concubine Ling, that is, when Concubine Ling left, she was still clever to protect herself, not to mention intrigue, just that arrogant and domineering appearance, people who knew how to intrigue avoided her.
At this point, Wu Liang suddenly frowned, and so did Chu Nian, the two glanced at each other, and looked at the two princesses one after another.
Chu Nian said in a low voice: "Mingyue, you follow me closely for a while, Mingqiao, you follow Wu Liang for a while." ”
The two princesses reacted quickly, and Chu Nian sensed something, so they didn't ask much, and nodded their heads.
Chu Nian gently lifted the curtain with his hand, the princess didn't have much to rely on on this trip, and she was just a royal forest army that looked like a strong martial artist, or the queen mother personally matched it, and Chu Nian not to mention, because Chu Nian took Wu Liang away, Li Le's living was unattended, and even Mei Xiang was left to take care of Li Le's daily life.
She was afraid that someone would take advantage of her absence to make any moves against the Mu family, the Chu family, and the Chen family, so she simply sent the three secret guards to these three families, let alone the guards.
This trip also only brought Wu Liang alone, Chu Nian is good at martial arts, Wu Liang is good at poison, and it is difficult for mortals to get close to these two people.
"This is also the work of the Queen Mother?" Mingyue looked at Chu Nian with some surprise, it stands to reason that even if the Queen Mother wants to attack Chu Nian, she will not pick the two princesses when they are there, you must know that no matter how bad the princess is, she is also the royal heir, and the involvement behind the concubines is not only as simple as the prince, and the Queen Mother will not attack the two princesses.
Chu Nian glanced back at Mingyue, and there was confusion in his eyes.
"I don't know, I'll see you later."
Mingyue nodded thoughtfully, but her subordinates couldn't help but clench their sleeves, if it was true that the Queen Mother couldn't get used to seeing Concubine Liang so she chose to attack her, it was not impossible.
At this stall, there were several screams outside the carriage, as well as the sound of weapons colliding, and the four people in the carriage glanced at each other, and then got out of the carriage one after another.
There was a lot of chaos outside the carriage, there were dozens of black-clothed people around the guards who Mingyue Mingqiao brought out, Rao is these guards no matter how good they were, they gradually showed a little invincible, and a few of them had fallen, and the people who came were extremely ruthless, as long as they caught the gap, the white knife went in, and the red knife came out.
Chu Nian frowned, holding Mingyue's hand tightly in his left hand, and holding the short sword taken out of the burden in his right hand, Mingyue seemed to be extremely frightened at this moment, with a pair of cold hands, looking at everything in front of him with a pale face.
Although she also saw those subordinates die in the palace because of the battle between the masters, it was the first time she had seen this kind of murderous scene, Mo said that the guards in front of her who had fallen to the ground and died greeted her before going out, but now, it was already three feet of blood splattered.
Chu Nian tightened Mingyue's hand to reassure her, at this time, it was obvious that those gangsters had noticed them, so they rushed towards the two weak women with long knives first. Chu Nian's eyes condensed slightly, and the short sword under his hand did not hesitate to block the knife, and then quickly sent the short sword into the man's chest, the man's eyes widened unexpectedly, Chu Nian drew the sword, and blood splashed her and Mingyue behind her.
Mingyue's scream was stunned in her throat, and she looked at Chu Nian with shocked eyes, unable to speak.
Chu Nian looked at the black-clothed people who attacked around him with cold eyes, and his voice was also calm, "If you have anything to say, it's still important to save your life now." ”
The strength of these people is not high, obviously they are not people sent by the Queen Mother, and they have clashed many times, and it is impossible for the Queen Mother not to know her strength.
Could it be ...... Are you here for the two princesses?
The white knives under Chu Nian's side turned red, and blood splashed everywhere, but Wu Liang pulled Ming Qiao's side but it was silent, as long as someone approached, he didn't have to hurt his muscles and bones, he only needed to wave his sleeves slightly, and immediately the man in black would fall to the ground.
Ming Qiao followed behind Wu Liang and looked at the thin young man's murderous appearance, but she didn't feel afraid, on the contrary, at this moment, she looked at Wu Liang's eyes as if she was looking at a god, and a voice murmured, "So handsome." ”
Wu Liang unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips, and saw that a few black-clothed people not far away were about to escape, and at this stall, he heard a voice from Chu Nian's side.
"Wu Liang, leave these people."
As Chu Nian's words fell, Wu Liang got the order, and with another wave of his subordinates, he saw a large number of black insects quickly burrowing out of his cuffs and heading towards the group of black-clothed people who had escaped.
When those men in black saw a group of strange insects rushing towards them, they were immediately frightened, and they didn't have time to resist, and those insects quickly burrowed into their bodies from the seven orifices.
Several black-clothed people convulsed for a while, and then fell to the ground, at this moment the battle was coming to an end, fortunately, Chu Nian and they came out early, and there were still two living guards left, but at this moment, they were also looking at Chu Nian, who was covered in blood, and Wu Liang, who was calm, with a face full of horror.
Mingyue's face was still pale, but she was much better at the moment, Mingqiao was very excited, this girl was like she was not afraid of anything, and when she saw Chu Nian and the others walking towards the few black-clothed people who had escaped, she was also extremely excited to follow.
Seeing that Mingyue seemed extremely uncomfortable, Chu Nian first asked Mingyue to go back to the carriage to rest, and then went with Wu Liang to investigate the black-clothed people. ”
"My poisonous insects."
"Wow! It turns out that you can also raise insects! ”
"Of course, I'm not the heir of the Medicine King, speaking of which, I should be the heir of the Gu King."
Chu Nian had also heard that there were three branches in the Medicine King Valley, namely the Medicine King, the Gu King, and the God of Medicine, the King of Medicine was the valley master of the Valley of the Medicine King, and the God of Medicine and the King of Gu could be regarded as elders, but those two seemed to have died in the last battle.
It turned out that Wu Liang was the descendant of the Gu King, but after all, it was the same master, and Wu Liang still had to call the Medicine King "master".
When he got close to the man in black, Chu Niancai narrowed his eyes slightly, bent down, and took out a token from the man in black.
