Chapter 139: Assassination and Solution
When he was in the territory of Xiao Kingdom, Xiao Junyu's marching team was very safe and did not notice anything unusual, so this journey was faster than expected.
Xiao Junyu is still very relieved in this Xiao country, after all, no matter how stupid Empress Xiao is, she will not be stupid enough to do it at her own doorstep, isn't that a fire?
However, out of the border of Xiao State, it led to the territory of Yan State, and Xiao Jun sent people to set up a checkpoint at the border pass to present the envoy documents, and he could be invited as a guest.
Along the way, there were also guards accompanying Yan Guo in the territory of Yan Kingdom to escort Xiao Junyu away.
But Xiao Junyu in the carriage began to feel a sense of uncertainty in his heart.
If he were to send out a dissident, where would he go?
Xiao Guo, no.
This is the place where his identity is exposed, and everyone in the entire Xiao Kingdom dares to have a royal grudge.
Mingguo, no.
This trip is to go to the Ming Kingdom to court, if something happens in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, Xiao Guo will definitely start a war with the Ming State at any cost.
Both countries are big countries in the world, and it is difficult for them to compete with each other, but they will be taken advantage of by others.
Then there is only the inconspicuous, but occupying the right time and place.
It is precisely because the terrain of Yan Country is particularly unique that the speed of travel in this mountain has slowed down a lot for a while.
At the junction of Yan and Ming, there is a high mountain pass, the road is blocked and long, and there is a bottomless mountain stream on one side, which is an excellent position for ambush.
The leaves of the trees rustled in the woods, and from time to time a few crows flew over the roof of the carriage.
Xiao Junyu was not completely relaxed and asleep in the carriage, but leaned on the window edge to observe the situation outside, and grasped his sword with his right hand, which seemed to be ready to be drawn at any time.
At this time, a feather arrow shot out of the bed edge of Xiao Junyu's carriage, and although it didn't hit Xiao Junyu, he was still shocked.
"Protect Your Highness, there are assassins."
At this time, Xiao Guo's guards Yan Guo's guards all drew their swords and faced outward, making a defensive posture, and Xiao Junyu was still sitting firmly in it.
Nearly a hundred black-clothed people jumped down from the tree, and threw the hidden weapon in their hands at the guards.
Xiao Junyu's secret guards arranged in the dark all came out to protect Xiao Junyu when they heard the sound.
At this time, there were only a hundred black-clothed people, and the number of people in black seemed a little pitiful, but the sleeves and cuffs of those black-clothed people all had a red logo.
Xiao Junyu always felt déjà vu, where had he seen it.
Suddenly his eyes widened and he looked at them in horror.
It's a Kiyomon door......
It was Qingyimen who saved him many years ago, but now he is coming to take his life.
Qingyimen has always outnumbered the crowd, and they are all good at fighting against ten.
The corners of Xiao Junyu's mouth rose upward, like a bloodthirsty beast that had been ignited, stimulating his fighting spirit and desire to survive.
Oh, this woman is really generous, this time she actually hired Qingyimen.
At the same time, although he also had a trace of doubts in his heart, how could Qing Xuan join forces with Empress Xiao, but he has always used people without suspicion.
Then I believe in Qingxuan.
Soon the two sides fought inextricably, until the people of Qingyimen began to approach Xiao Junyu's last line of defense.
At this time, the sudden Qingyimen killer raised his knife and fell down in response.
The person who came was none other than the White Eagle Gang, who had been in ambush here for a long time.
Qing Xuan's plan was much deeper than what could be seen from the outside, and he had already expected that the best place to move was here, so he ambushed all the people from the White Eagle Gang here.
The reason why it only appeared now is because he knows that this White Eagle Gang is not the opponent of Qingyimen, although he sent someone to explain it earlier, but for the sake of this scene, wouldn't it be better to wait until the Qingyimen people and Yan Guoxiao's domestic defense fight are both defeated?
As a businessman, Qingxuan is a complete profiteer, and he has no loss in this business.
Not only did he get a lot of money from Empress Xiao, but he also sold Xiao Junyu, the prince's favor, in disguise.
Faced with the sudden appearance of another wave of people, Xiao Junyu was also stunned, and then Qingyimen gave the order to retreat.
When the people of the White Eagle Gang saw that the people of Qingyimen had retreated, they did not chase after them, nor did they come forward to greet Xiao Junyu, but also gave the order to retreat.
Xiao Junyu secretly thought that this must be a good show staged by Qing Xuan, but he was not annoyed, and ordered to continue on his way.
Such a profiteer Qingxuan's mind is extremely delicate, and it would be great if he could help him in the court.
The carriage finally arrived in the territory of the Ming Kingdom and arrived at the imperial city.
Xiao Junyu couldn't wait to see her, but the minister of the Ming Kingdom had already invited him to the post station, but he couldn't be willful This time, he came to ask for a kiss.
It is said that Wen Yue has also picked up a treasure, and since Na Wenqing recovered from his injury, he has taken care of the chamber of commerce under his name in an orderly manner.
All the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce went surprisingly smoothly, as if someone had cleared all the obstacles for them.
Wen Yue relieved herself to hand over the Chamber of Commerce to Wenqing Jintuan to take care of it together, and let Jintuan report the daily things to her.
She accompanies Wen Mingshi all day long, taking care of her father and the emperor.
The whole person looks a lot haggard, and his body is a little thinner than before.
After Xiao Junyu dealt with everything in terms of reception, he immediately disguised himself and did not come to Wen Yue's mansion as the prince of Xiao Guo.
At this time, only Ah Zhi was in charge of all matters in the mansion, and Wen Qing and Jintuan were both handling things in the Chamber of Commerce store.
Ah Zhi heard that someone was coming and immediately went to inquire, and was stunned the moment she saw someone.
Faces full of horror and disbelief...... How did he come.
Xiao Junyu didn't seem to see Ah Zhi's demeanor, and stretched his neck to look inside left and right
"Hey, your little ...... Oh, what about your son-in-law? ”
There was some joy and anticipation in his eyes.
Ah Zhi respectfully said a blessing
"Childe hasn't been here for a few days, he should be in the palace."
The look on Xiao Junyu's face suddenly became dejected, he turned his head and left, just took a step, as if he remembered something, he turned back, approached Ah Zhi, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear
"This time things are doing well."
Xiao Junyu was in a good mood at this time, so he praised Ah Zhi by the way.
After Xiao Junyu finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Ah Zhi blankly watching the figure in front of him leave, and a pair of red ears.
It wasn't until someone next to her called the manager that she came back to her senses and went back to the inner hall to continue her work.
Xiao Junyu is now full of wanting to see Wen Yue as soon as possible, and almost half of the days have been spent by knowing her daily trivial news.
Xiao Junyu first went back to the post station and changed into a grand prince's dress, he also heard that Emperor Ming was ill, and ordered someone to prepare a thousand-year-old ginseng and other supplements to respect, and then marched into the palace.
