Chapter 29: Assassination
If you are an ordinary person, when you see these three kinds of food, you are afraid that you will die of shame, partial life, Noya's face is all trained, and the master is a well-known Baili Jiu. Baili Jiu is shameless, Noah picked up his face and pasted it on his face, the standard two-skin face.
She stepped forward to accept the reward and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you Mrs. Hui for the reward, Noah likes it very much and knows how to eat." These dumplings and glutinous rice balls are naturally cooked in a teapot and delicious, and Mo'er and I have lunch in place. ”
The father-in-law was stunned, there is a popular saying among the people, boiling rice balls in the teapot and eating dumplings for the dumb, that is all about "knowing in my heart", I didn't expect Nuoya to be so arrogant and rude: "It's good that Mrs. Lin knows it in her own heart." Then the Sprinkle family retired, and went back to report to Mrs. Hui truthfully. ”
Noya had two lotus seeds in her sleeve, and when she got up early to cook lotus seed porridge, she picked out two uncored ones from the lotus seeds, and she was afraid that she would be stepped on and slip on the ground, so she put them into her cuffs. She took it out and handed it to the eunuch: "Trouble my father-in-law to bring these two lotus seeds to Mrs. Hui." ”
Lotus seeds have the effect of purifying the heart and clarifying the purpose, and the father-in-law had no good impression of Nuoya because of his preconceived ideas, thinking that she was deliberately committing a crime, and ridiculed Mrs. Hui, her face sank, and her tone also rushed up: "Are you sure?" ”
Noah nodded and smiled bitterly: "Sure." ”
The father-in-law shook his head meaningfully, glanced at her fiercely, brushed his sleeves away angrily, and went back to the palace to resume his life.
Noya stood at the door stunned for a long time, looking around in a daze, she suddenly found that the world is big, and she really doesn't have a place to stay.
Lianzi is bitter in her heart, she Nuoya is bitter, and her heart is even more bitter.
Leaning dejectedly against the doorframe, she was too lazy to move for a moment, staring blankly at the few acacia trees planted outside the yard. In another month or two, the acacia will open like smoke and fog, and it must be a different style, but I can't see it.
Her gaze suddenly rested on the acacia tree facing the door, her heartbeat began to accelerate, and the ghost walked slowly over, and there was a mark on the trunk of the tree, which was more than half a person's height, not with a knife, nor like with any sharp weapon, looking at the slight arc of the crescent, it looked very much like ...... Fingernail?
Noah didn't know how she could have such a strange and ridiculous idea, but she knew that there was a man in this world whose nails were harder than iron and could easily scratch marks on stone.
But when I think about it carefully, I can't capture who that person is.
She turned and walked back, and when she reached the door, she hesitated again, turned her head to look back, and her heart suddenly clenched, and she had a bad premonition. She felt that this mark was not accidental, nor was it the work of some child's mischievousness, it was a man's mark, a killer's quirk! He likes to mark his height in front of his goals.
Why did she think this way, she couldn't say why. It's like suddenly digging through something that has been in the dust for a long time, but you can't figure out where it came from. Why is it here?
The Killer Pavilion clearly gave himself three days, today is just the third day, to be precise, it is not yet the third day, how can there be a killer who can't wait?
Could it be that the pavilion master expected that she would be soft-hearted and not able to do it? And three days later, he was afraid that he would leak any information that would make Chu Qingchen alert and take precautions?
So, they're going to get started!
She raised her eyes to look at the sky, Chu Qingchen said that he would come when he went, and he would bring her back the peach blossom drunk.
She panicked, the premonition became stronger and stronger, and she ran back to the yard in a panic, stumbling a little, found Mo'er, and took her hand: "Mo'er, tell me where the household is?" ”
Mo'er couldn't speak, and gestured "babbling", which probably seemed to mean that Chu Qingchen didn't let her walk around.
"I'm in a hurry!" Noah urged anxiously, grabbing Mo'er's hand slightly, and her fingertips were a little cold because of nervousness: "Can't delay." ”
Mer shook her head stubbornly.
"Chu Qingchen, he may be in danger!" Noah was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and could only tell him frankly.
Mo'er was stunned for a moment, and looked at her suspiciously.
"It's true, I didn't lie to you! Someone wants to kill him! ”
When Mo'er saw that she was categorical, she suddenly became anxious, and stretched out her finger to the east.
Noah turned to leave, but was grabbed by Mer from behind.
She was anxious, so her tone was a little impulsive: "Without further ado, what are you dragging me for?" ”
Mo Er let go of his hand, gestured anxiously twice, and seeing that Noya looked inexplicable, he took out a bamboo whistle from his arms, put it to his lips, and blew it vigorously, and immediately a Tsing Yi guard fell lightly in the courtyard.
Mo Er stretched out his hand and pointed at the person, Noya knew that the person must be Chu Qingchen's secret guard, and explained urgently: "Chu Qingchen is in danger, I must rush to the household immediately." ”
Rather believe it, not believe it, the Tsing Yi man did not dare to slack off, a whistle, immediately there was a "boom" of horses' hooves from far and near, stopped at the gate of the yard. Tsing Yi said "offended", picked up Lin Nuoya and landed firmly on the horse's back, and then shook the horse's reins, and the horse rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Noya was anxious, and only hoped that Chu Qingchen would not take half a step out of the door of the household, as long as the killer was afraid, he would not make a rash move.
Although Chu Qingchen has a secret guard with strong martial arts by his side to protect him, there are thousands of assassination methods by the killer, and it is impossible to prevent it, and Chu Qingchen may not be able to escape.
In the morning, she still thought about exchanging Chu Qingchen's life for herself and Tiansha's life, but once she learned that Chu Qingchen was about to face danger, she felt extremely panicked and secretly prayed, hoping that it was just a false alarm.
After all, I have no memory now, and my intuition is that it is a very empty thing, and I may not be able to make a fuss about it.
The man in Tsing Yi rode very well, and took her to gallop on the street, and several times there was no danger, and he turned straight across the crossroads, and the gate of the household was already close at hand. The stone lion at the door is majestic, the soldiers are numerous, and the people in front of the door come and go, a peaceful place, and there is no chaos. Noah finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that she had really worried too much.
It just so happened that Chu Qingchen came out of the household department, turned around and said goodbye to the officials who were sending him behind him, listening to the sound of hooves as rapid as raindrops, and seeing that it was Nuoya who appeared in his sight, he was really surprised, and smiled at her.
A few naughty children were playing with bamboo dragonflies in the open space at the entrance of the household, screaming and cheering to fly the bamboo dragonflies extremely high, pointing and competing with each other, and they were never tired of it.
The man in Tsing Yi had slowed down at this time, ready to rein in the reins. Noya put her mind at ease, and also smiled at Chu Qingchen, a little embarrassed, not knowing how to explain to him how she could appear here recklessly.
After Chu Qingchen hurriedly said goodbye to the officials, he walked straight towards her, Nuoya turned over and dismounted, and walked towards him generously.
The children who were playing cheered, and the bamboo dragonflies in their hands fluttered their wings and spun at the same time, and flew up to the top quickly, and then slowly floated down, frolicking to grab them. Only one bamboo dragonfly deviated from their trajectory and flew straight towards Chu Qingchen's door, flickering with light and shadow, and the speed of rotation did not decrease but increased.
Chu Qingchen didn't care at all, and smiled at the group of naughty children.
Noah's heart tightened for no reason, staring at the bamboo dragonfly, realizing that something was wrong, and suddenly his heart was broken, and he exclaimed: "Be careful!" ”
Chu Qingchen was defenseless, but the person in Tsing Yi on the horse was infected by Nuoya, and he was always on guard, listening to her exclamation, he suddenly became vigilant, and with a flip of his wrist, a cold light went towards the bamboo dragonfly. Because the bamboo dragonfly is rotating and landing, the speed is not as fast as the hidden weapon sent by the man in Tsing Yi.
Perhaps, it shouldn't be called a bamboo dragonfly, it is definitely not made of bamboo, the wings are thin and sharp, and when it is connected with the secret weapon, it makes a crisp sound of "ping", which is clearly ironcast. Moreover, the bamboo dragonfly was infused with great internal force, and because of the momentum of rotation, the internal force contained in it was maximized, and the secret weapon of the Tsing Yi people was actually helpless, but was cut in half.
The bamboo dragonfly only deviated slightly from its direction and continued to spin towards Chu Qingchen's throat.
Chu Qingchen had already reacted at this time, took three steps back, didn't dare to fight hard, stretched out the flute in his hand, and followed the trend of the bamboo dragonfly twice, shooting it down.
Before he could catch his breath and fix his eyes, seven or eight masked black-clothed men poured out from all directions, raising their swords and attacking in the direction of Chu Qingchen.
The long whip of the galloping wind that followed him and swept towards one of them, but it was a blow into the air, and the person instantly turned into air.
Invisibility! Feng Chi is well-informed, and can't help but be secretly frightened, this kind of technique can be said to be elusive, using escape and psychological tactics, you can kill the enemy by surprise, it is the best assassination technique.
He calmed his mind so as not to be confused by the other party, and the long whip in his hand was like a swimming dragon, dancing in front of Chu Qingchen impenetrable.
Chu Qingchen's secret guard also appeared at the moment when Feng Chi shot and joined the fight, and the two sides were almost evenly matched. It's just that the other party doesn't attack hard, but suddenly comes out of nowhere, which makes them feel defenseless, and they are terrified of all the grass and trees in their hearts for no reason.
Chu Qingchen was not at ease at first was Noya, she had no power to restrain the chicken, and she couldn't make any mistakes, so her body flickered, broke away from the protective circle of the secret guard, flew to Noya, and protected her behind her: "Be careful." ”
Noah shook her head: "I'm fine, you be careful." ”
As soon as the guards at the entrance of the household department saw that in broad daylight, someone dared to assassinate the prince of the dynasty on the street, is this worth it? Even if he was defeated, he raised the spear in his hand and bluffed around, surrounding the men in black.
In the chaos, it was the group of children who were frolicking here, who were suddenly stunned and at a loss for what to do. When he finally reacted, he cried and called his mother, and ran around in panic.
