Chapter 19: Assassination and Disappearance
The moment she hugged her child as she wished, Shui Qingqing was so excited and happy that her whole body trembled, and she even thought that she would take advantage of the chaos and leave quietly with Brother Yun.
However, before she could take a few steps, an assassin blocked her way, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at her.
Shui Qingqing narrowly avoided Yun Ge'er with her arms, but was forced to retreat to the same place.
Sanshi swung his sword to block the assassin for her, and when he turned around, he saw Yun Gongzi in her arms, and hurriedly pulled her to the carriage, and said, "Miss Sheng, quickly take Yun Gongzi to hide in the carriage...... It's too dangerous out there! ”
In the battle, except for Sanshi and a few highly skilled guards, the guards of the Hou Mansion had already been killed by well-trained assassins.
Therefore, when he was outnumbered, in order to protect so many female dependents, Sanshi did not dare to fight, pushed Shui Qingqing into the carriage, jumped on the carriage himself, raised the horse whip, and drove the carriage to escape from the assassin's assassination with the female dependents.
On the other side, Mei Zijin, who had dragged many assassins with his own strength, saw Sanshi flee with everyone, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, just as he was about to find a chance to get out, the next moment he saw a person rolling down from the carriage, and in an instant, the heart that had just been put down was hanging high again!
As soon as Shui Qingqing got into the carriage, Bai Lingwei picked up the child from her arms.
The moment the child left her arms, Shui Qingqing's body froze, and the emptiness in her heart made her not come back to her senses for a long time.
Just when she was hurting, she fell out of the carriage unsteadily......
Sanshi saw that someone fell out of the carriage, and wanted to stop the carriage to save him, but he looked at the assassins who caught up, thought about the female dependents in the car, and the most important Yun Gongzi was also in the car.
Therefore, Sanshi was ruthless, so he had to give up Shui Qingqing and drive a car of female dependents to escape down the mountain......
Shui Qingqing, who fell from the carriage, rolled a long way in the snow before stopping, and her brain was dizzy and dizzy, and her body was even more painful.
However, before she could recover from her stupor, the Assassin chasing the carriage turned and attacked her.
Although Shui Qingqing doesn't know martial arts, she has been working with her adoptive father since she was a child, and she has developed a flexible body and quick reaction ability, so her body rolled and she actually dodged the long sword in the hands of the assassin.
Seeing this, Mei Zijin, who had been looking at this side with his heart, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, 'brushed' a few swords to put down the assassin next to him, and rushed towards Shui Qingqing's side with his breath.
"Follow me!"
Mei Zijin rushed to Shui Qingqing's side, waved her sword to block the assassin for her, pulled her up from the snow, hid her behind her, and fought all the way down the mountain.
Seeing that Mei Zijin was about to escape, the assassins were encircled and blocked the way down the mountain, Rao is Mei Zijin's martial arts skills were high, and he couldn't break through for a while, not to mention that there was a Shui Qingqing behind him, so in the end, he was forced by the assassins to retreat to the side of the mountain.
The wind on the side of the mountain beam was so strong that Shui Qingqing could barely open her eyes, and it made her feel like she was falling into an ice kiln.
However, standing behind Mei Zijin, looking at the blood-stained sword in his hand and his majestic posture, Shui Qingqing's flustered heart calmed down.
At this moment, she had inexplicable trust in Mei Zijin in her heart, believing that with him, her life could be saved.
However, in the next moment, this trace of trust was broken by Mei Zijin himself.
He turned around suddenly, and a cruel cold light crossed his deep eyes, and he actually stretched out his hand to push, and Shui Qingqing, who would not have to react in the future, pushed down the mountain beam......
The scream was stuck in her throat, and after Shui Qingqing was pushed down the mountain beam, she rolled down the high mountain beam endlessly like a snowball......
When she woke up, it was almost dusk, Shui Qingqing lay in the cold snow for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses, and she didn't know where she was now, and her mind was full of roar and dizziness.
It took her a long time to get up and look around, and found that she was in a forest, and there was a deathly silence all around, and she couldn't even hear the chirping of birds.
Looking at the remnant sun in the west, Shui Qingqing knew that she must go down the mountain before dark, otherwise she would freeze to death in this mountain.
Regardless of the soreness of her whole body, Shui Qingqing moved her body and walked down the mountain with difficulty, and finally came down the mountain before it was completely dark.
When entering the city, a light horse drove in front of her, Shui Qingqing looked at the familiar figure, gritted her teeth and secretly said: "Mei Zijin's cold-blooded ruthlessness is really worthy of his reputation - pushing himself down the mountain, he himself escaped and came back safely......"
However, just when Shui Qingqing thought that Mei Zijin had returned to the house one step earlier, the entire Hou Mansion was turned upside down - Mei Zijin, the Marquis of Dingguo, was assassinated and disappeared!
From Mei Zijin's desperate push of her down the mountain, to the familiar figure she saw at the city gate, Shui Qingqing realized in her heart that Mei Zijin was afraid that she would drag him down, so he would do such a thing that was inferior to livestock and push her down the mountain, so that he could escape alone......
However, now that she heard the news of Mei Zijin's disappearance, Shui Qingqing was confused-
Didn't he go home one step ahead of himself? How could he disappear - could it be that the figure at the city gate is not him, but he is dazzled and mislooked?!
Xiaoxi came in from outside the door with hot water, and saw Shui Qingqing sitting in a daze, with a solemn face, thinking that she was frightened by today's assassination, so she couldn't help but step forward and whispered: "Miss, the hot water is ready, take a bath to go to the wind cold, rest early......
After that, Xiaoxi said sadly: "Miss was so frightened by this, I originally wanted to ask the doctor to help you take a good look, but now the house is busy, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of our ......."
The Hou Mansion has long been in chaos due to Mei Zijin's disappearance, and there will be people there who will take care of Shui Qingqing, who escaped from nine deaths.
However, Shui Qingqing didn't care about this, she retracted her mind and twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Isn't there any news from the Hou Ye yet?" ”
Xiaoxi shook his head, "No, but Sanshi has already taken the Hou Mansion's personal soldiers to the mountains to look for it." ”
At this time, Shui Qingqing was convinced that he was looking away at the city gate, so he didn't say anything anymore, and went to bed to rest after taking a hot bath.
She was already extremely tired, she couldn't sleep for a long time because of the soreness of her body, and she fell asleep in bed for a long time, and her dreams were full of Yun'er looking at herself with big black eyes and ignorance......
"Yun'er ......"
In the dream, Yun'er was snatched away by Bai Lingwei again, Shui Qingqing was grief-stricken, and woke up in her sleep, staring at the endless darkness in front of her with wide eyes, and tears slid down uncontrollably again......
Since she hugged Yun'er in person, Shui Qingqing missed Yun'er more and more, and was worried that he was frightened during the day, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and she couldn't sleep anymore......
Finally got up early in the morning, Shui Qingqing got up early, and after freshening up, she led Xiaoxi to the old lady to say goodbye to the old lady.
Because of Mei Zijin's disappearance, the old lady didn't sleep all night, and stayed in the Buddhist hall for a night.
The eldest prince has just been buried, and now Mei Zijin is missing again, and the pain in Mrs. Hou's heart can be imagined.
Looking at the scorched color and grief on the old lady's face, Shui Qingqing couldn't bear it, and even put aside her resentment for Mei Zijin pushing her down the mountain for the time being.
She stepped forward to help the old lady and persuaded in a soft voice: "Old lady, Hou Yeji is a celestial appearance, it will definitely be fine." ”
After all, Mrs. Hou is Mrs. Houmen, who has experienced strong winds and waves, even if her heart hurts again, she still maintains her due bearing in front of the juniors, looks at the Buddha statue in front of her with fixed eyes, and says firmly: "My Mei family is loyal to the martyrs, loyal to the people and loyal to the people, God will not treat my Mei family so kindly - Zijin will definitely return safely!" ”
After that, the old lady got up and led Shui Qingqing to the main house, just as the grandmother came, and the Bai family and several other aunts also came to the Shi'an Yuan to invite An.
Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's steps stagnated slightly, and her mind suddenly remembered that she had fallen off the carriage yesterday.
Thinking of yesterday's events, Shui Qingqing's heart crossed with cold-
She knew very well that it was not an accident that she fell off the carriage yesterday, but someone pushed her down.
It's only been seven days since she entered the Hou Mansion, who hated her so much, and actually sent her to the assassin's knife?!
Although Shui Qingqing didn't see who the owner of the black hands was at that time, she understood that if this person was not found out as soon as possible, she would suffer more in the Hou Mansion in the future!
So, will the person who pushed her out of the carriage and send her to death one of Mei Zijin's aunts?
