Chapter 172: Assassination
The next day, the weather was clear.
After breakfast, Xiaolian went back to the house to get something, and suddenly heard a few lark calls outside, three long and two short, frowned, looked around, there was no one else, and then quietly walked to the wall at the window, gently knocked on a loose wall tile, and after a while, a ball of grass was thrown in from the window.
Xiaolian poked her head out, looked left and right, there was no one, quickly closed the window and squatted down, grabbed the grass ball into her hand, and picked it up in the paper ball with the other hand, there was a wax pill in it, immediately pinched the wax pill into the palm of her hand, threw the grass ball out of the window, and checked it again, to make sure that no one saw it, and then carefully opened the honey pill.
Suddenly received a secret order that had not appeared for a while, Xiaolian's mood was a kind of complicated that she couldn't say, and when she opened it, she was immediately entangled, and secretly complained in her heart: It doesn't matter if you ask me to poison or assassinate, you must get rid of Miss, what can I do.
The heart was very entangled, but the things at hand were still done, Xiaolian cleaned up her thoughts, and went to work on the things at hand all morning.
At noon, he went to the kitchen to boil the medicine left by Xiao Heng in advance, and while thinking hard about what he was going to do, he took the potion that had been boiled and walked all the way to Tian Yao's room.
As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Zhao Hu.
"General Zhao, what is this doing?" When she was in a trance, she was suddenly stopped by someone, Xiaolian was startled and asked suspiciously.
"Drug test." Zhao Hu said succinctly.
"You doubt me!" Xiaolian was suddenly so angry that her eyebrows rose, "I, Xiaolian, have always been loyal and loyal to Miss Xiao, and I have never been double-minded, you actually suspect that I am poisoning the medicine!" Don't think that your general can frame people casually, you ......"
"Last night's assassin was a disguised maid." Without waiting for Xiaolian to finish speaking, Zhao Hu said lightly.
Xiaolian was suddenly dumbfounded, thinking of her excited reaction, her heart jumped up again, and said: "If you don't believe that I am Xiaolian, you can verify my identity, but you just said that you were going to test for drugs, and you clearly suspected that I had bad intentions towards Miss, so you just don't believe me." ”
Zhao Hu didn't answer Xiaolian's accusation at all, he quickly took out the silver needle and stabbed it into the potion, and after checking it, he said directly: "Go in." ”
was so angry that Xiaolian couldn't go up or down in her throat, she almost choked to death, and she was too lazy to have a verbal dispute with Zhao Hu again, so she immediately pushed open the door and walked in angrily when she heard the words.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hu didn't say a word, and followed Xiaolian into the house, and without speaking, he stood not far behind Xiaolian to see how Xiaolian fed Tian Yao medicine.
Xiaolian was almost angry, and she couldn't say anything, so she simply didn't look at him angrily, lightly held Tian Yao in her arms, and silently fed Tian Yao the potion into her mouth spoonful by spoon.
Although Tian Yao was in a coma, he still had a slight instinct to swallow, so he drank the potion, and as Xiaolian fed it little by little, soon the bowl of medicinal juice was almost finished.
At the same time, he was almost angry to death as the killer who disguised himself as a maid last night, just took advantage of the opportunity when the two of them were talking outside the door, quietly approached, and ambushed the rockery outside the window, seeing that the timing was just right, ready to hurt the killer, Xiaolian pushed the door in to deliver medicine, a little girl who doesn't know martial arts, not to be afraid, but Zhao Hu also walked in and stayed in the house, it was just like doing it on purpose.
The hateful killer gritted his teeth, and he had to hold his breath, for fear of being detected by that Zhao Hu, but things are often what you are most afraid of, and what will come.
An immature voice suddenly sounded behind the killer: "Which yard are you a maid, why are you lying there sneakily?" ”
The killer looked back, it was also a woman dressed as a maid, and when he saw him, he immediately rushed over, what else could he say, run away.
The killer who turned into a maid turned around and ran into the distance, it was broad daylight, but it was not as easy to hide his whereabouts as at night, and it was not convenient to escape while wearing a maid's costume, and he had to run while taking off, and as soon as the speed was slow, he heard the sound of chasing behind, and thought it was Zhao Hu, and he glanced back, but it was the maid who had just broken his tracks.
The killer was slightly stunned. So stunned, the maid shouted, and kicked with her legs, so frightened that the killer immediately blocked it with both hands, and the two fought together back and forth, seeing that after a few moves, the maid was about to be defeated, and heard another crisp female voice interject and drank: "What are you doing?" Private fighting is forbidden in the palace. ”
The two people who were fighting were taken aback, stopped their hands, and when they saw clearly who was coming, the tired and sweaty maid immediately shouted happily: "Sister Sunset, you are back, this person is an assassin." Come and catch her. ”
The killer is bitter, how can all the maids in this palace know martial arts?
"Get out of the way, and I'll capture this man." The person who appeared at this time was the sunset who had just returned from going out, and when he saw that one of them was his little maid, and the other was a complete stranger, he immediately jumped over angrily and slashed at the killer with one palm.
The killer doesn't want to stay any longer, and if he goes on like this, he won't be able to get out of the task. At the moment, he moved to the wall of the palace while fighting, and he was secretly looking for an opportunity to get out, only to hear the crackling, and the two fought fiercely, and they actually made a match, not up or down.
The killer was suddenly startled, his mind turned sharply, and suddenly with a wave of his hand, a hidden weapon shot at a group of maids watching the battle.
Sunset immediately shouted, "Be careful of the hidden weapon." He didn't care about attacking the killer for a while, so he hurriedly pounced and pushed the maid away.
Raising his eyes again, the killer just now had already jumped onto the city wall and was fleeing outside the palace, and he couldn't care where the hidden weapon shot just now, so he quickly jumped on the wall and chased after him.
It is estimated that the killer had already planned the escape route, and in such a blink of an eye, Sunset saw that figure rising and falling, and had already taken out of the palace and blended into the streets and alleys around the palace.
Sunset chased all the way to the street with a lot of traffic, and completely lost the trace of the other party, and stomped his feet in anger.
Zhao Hu, who heard the sound of fighting, just went to the vicinity of the rockery, and after listening to the injured maid tell about the situation at the time, he also chased all the way to the outside of the palace, and just happened to see Sunset walking back in frustration.
Zhao Hu stopped Sunset without saying a word and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Sunset knew Zhao Hu and knew Zhao Hu's sworn brother Mo Jingli, but she didn't expect Zhao Hu to know herself, so she said with a wry smile: "I am also from the palace." ”
Zhao Hu looked skeptical.
Outside the palace, the two were opposed.
Seeing Zhao Hu's suspicious look, Sunset said with a little crying and laughing: "If General Zhao doubts Sunset's identity, call everyone in the palace and ask him." ”
"Do you know General Ben? Why didn't General Ben have the slightest impression? Zhao Hu didn't respond, but asked rhetorically.
"When General Zhao came to the palace before, the little girl just saw General Zhao in the hall, there were so many people at that time, how could General Zhao remember one of them standing in the crowd." This is a fact, and Sunset has nothing to hide, so she said generously.
"Do you know the identity of the Assassin?" Zhao Hu asked again.
"General Zhao said with a smile, I just returned to the palace and didn't figure out what happened, how could I know the identity of this assassin." Sunset was suspicious, and she was still a little annoyed in her heart, so she said angrily.
Zhao Hu wanted to continue to ask, Xiaolian's figure appeared behind the two, and when he heard the conversation between Sunset and Zhao Hu, he immediately said angrily: "General Zhao, this is Sister Sunset in the palace, don't you doubt this for a while, and doubt that for a while?" ”
Zhao Hu touched his nose a little embarrassed, coughed, and didn't speak.
However, Sunset smiled and said to Xiaocui: "Xiaolian, it's okay, when encountering this kind of assassination, it's always good to be more cautious, not to mention, General Zhao Hu doesn't know me at all, and it's normal to suspect me." ”
Xiaolian glared at Zhao Hu, and said angrily: "General Zhao, you can suspect anyone, but you must not doubt Sister Sunxia, Sister Sunxia is the person who saved Prince Qi and Prince Sui." ”
"Oh! I've heard about it, but I didn't think you were that person. Zhao Hu heard Mo Jingli talk about this, and immediately said in amazement, already believing in his heart that Sunset should have nothing to do with the assassin.
"By the way, Xiaolian, what the hell is going on, what about Tian Yao?" Seeing that the suspicious look on Zhao Hu's face dissipated a lot, he relaxed and asked Xiao Cui suspiciously.
"Miss......" Xiaolian then remembered that now Tian Yao was nowhere to be found, and immediately was shocked, and ran directly to the palace without saying a word, leaving Sunset with a puzzled face.
"General Zhao, please also tell me what happened in the Sunset Palace." Sunset saluted Zhao Hu and said gently.
Zhao Hu made a gesture of invitation and said, "This matter is a long story, let's talk about it while walking." ”
Xiaolian ran back to her young lady's room all the way, and when she saw Tian Yao lying on the bed resting, she was immediately relieved and relieved.
After a while, it was as if I heard the voices of Zhao Hu and Sunset talking from far and near.
When the two walked outside Tian Yao's room, Sunset had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and immediately begged Zhao Hu to let her take care of Tian Yao as well.
Zhao Hu already knew that Sunset's kung fu was not weak, but after all, he didn't know the depth of this person, and for a while, he hesitated a little and agreed to think about it.
Sunset knew in her heart how heavy Tian Yao's weight was, she was not only Zhao Hu's sister-in-law, but also related to the two princes, so she no longer forcibly asked for it, and said in a low voice: "Sunset has an idea to catch turtles in the urn, I don't know what you think, General Zhao?" ”
