Chapter 140: Attacked
Yuan Qi had already risen from the horse's back at the same time as the reminder, and flew towards the carriage like a roc spreading its wings, brandishing a kitchen knife to block the arrows shot at the carriage.
This was obviously a meticulous sniper, because the power of the arrow shot was so great that it was by no means possible for ordinary people to achieve, and at the same time as the arrow was fired, a team of black-clad masked men with long swords in their hands rushed over.
Yuan Qi blocked the arrow at the same time, with a wave of one palm, straight to the archers who were still hidden behind, in the face of such a situation, Yuan Qi did not have any reservations, completely exerted his greatest strength, the rumbling sound like thunder sounded on the slope of the archer hidden, and then the screams also sounded.
And Lin Sha's guards were not slow to react, and they had already shot at the people who rushed up with their short crossbows.
After Yuan Qi cleaned up the archers behind him, he and Lin Sha's guards also killed the black-clothed masked man who rushed over, and slashed down with a palm volley at the leader with the best martial arts inside, and the most violent counterattack began immediately.
"The leader stays alive."
Linsha's bodyguard, Hiri Zhu, shouted.
The two little girls in the carriage looked outside, they didn't have time to lie down when Yuan Qi warned just now, and then they were just tired in the corner of the carriage, and both of them saw through the window the figure of Yuan Qi just standing outside the carriage to block the arrows.
Fu Lin's little face turned pale with fright, and her little hands nervously grabbed the small pillar on the carriage, while Lin Sha on the side, although she was also frightened, her face was not good-looking, but she was obviously much calmer, and her eyes were full of anger.
Both of them looked nervously outside, but they saw a flower in front of them, and the figure outside had disappeared in place. The stirred dead leaves on the ground were scattered and danced, and the two of them stretched out their heads before they saw Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi had already exchanged hands with the leader of the ambush.
The leading ambusher is not weak in martial arts, but he is still a cut short of the boss. I saw those dead leaves rising from the ground, rushing towards each other, when the dead leaves seemed to suddenly lose the power to fly, scattered and fell to the ground, revealing the motionless figure of the ambusher, he held his long sword high, revealing a frightened gaze, his arms were stiff, and he seemed to be unable to cut his long sword down.
"Tick ......"
Blood fell to the ground in dripping drops. After a moment of silence, he collapsed in the snow, and a cold wind passed, and the torn clothes on the ambusher's chest were blown open, revealing criss-crossed wounds with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Not only him, but Lin Sha's guard leader Xi Lizhu and other guards were also very surprised, they all knew that the martial arts training invited by the young lady must be good at martial arts, but in their hearts. I also think that it is a flower fist embroidered leg that is specially played with the young lady, and it is not as good as those of them who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they don't look down on it at all, but this time. They were shocked, especially the leader of Linsha's guards, Siri Zhu.
Although even without Yuan Qi, these ambushers would definitely not succeed. The true strength of this group of guards is actually little known to the outside world, but if there is no Yuan Qi to block the arrows. Without Yuan Qi preemptively destroying those archers, the situation would never have been so easy. And although he can defeat the leader of the ambush, he will never be able to do it so easily.
This new gentleman came out so quickly and with such force that he could not reach it.
Of course, the two frightened little girls in the carriage were also very surprised, especially Fu Lin looked at the figure outside with a kind of admiration, she wanted to share this mood with Miss, but after glancing at Miss, seeing Miss's cold eyes, she still gave up this plan.
Fu Lin knew that Miss only had superficial respect for this new gentleman, this was obviously Miss had suffered from Mr., and Mr.'s performance today showed this even more, before Miss didn't change her Tiandu, it was best not to say this in front of her, otherwise Miss would reprimand her again, let's go back and share this kind of thing with Jenny, as Madame's maid, presumably Jenny must be very interested in this......
And in fact, at this time, Yuan Qi was not as the little girl with worship in the carriage imagined, his stomach was overturned, and he had a lot of fights and killings after practicing martial arts, and this was the first time to really kill people, watching the guards mercilessly replenish the knives on the fallen ambushers, the feeling of vomiting rushed out, and he used his internal strength to finally suppress it, and then asked the two little girls inside.
Yuan Qi didn't know what the little girl in the carriage was thinking, but at this time he felt that Lin Sha was actually quite pitiful.
Such an ambush is obviously aimed at her, and the illustrious wealthy family will inevitably have political enemies, enemies, dumping, conspiracy, etc., and she will have to bear these things when she enjoys the glory of the family......
……
After being ambushed, the Duke's Mansion seen by outsiders seemed to be calm, but in fact it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it was impossible for anyone to be indifferent after such an attack.
In the Duchess's study, Yuan Qi and the chief guard of the mansion, Terrin, and the head of Lin Sha's guard, Xili Zhu, sat in it.
The captured live mouth had already bitten his tongue and killed himself when he was being interrogated by Therim and Cirizhu.
Heaphy Bay is a calm harbor, but there are also countless undercurrents surging under the calm surface of Heffy Country in Heffy Bay, this ambush made Yuan Qi also feel Heaphy's turmoil, Yuan Qi looked at the Duchess opposite, how would this woman who was actually in charge of the affairs of the Duke's Palace respond,
Yuan Qi glanced at her, after learning that Huokou had died, the Duchess didn't seem to care at all, and after listening to the attack, she just elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, thanked him, and began to discuss the security arrangements in the mansion.
Yuan Qi was also asked by the Duchess to participate in it, and his residence was also moved from the original place to the Duchess and Lin Sha's building, and Lin Sha also accompanied him when he went out, Yuan Qi naturally had no opinion, so he had more opportunities to contact the Duchess.
Yuan Qi looked at the Duchess who was calmly leaning back in the back chair, but no matter what kind of posture she had, her demeanor and posture were always so elegant and impeccable.
Yuan Qi didn't dare to stay on the duchess's face for longer, this woman's charm was too great, and she just had some opportunities. If you offend her, it will be more than worth the loss, and he quickly adjusts himself. Calmed herself down, thinking to herself that this kind of demeanor means that she may have a way to deal with it.
But Yuanqi didn't know. After he left, the Duchess changed her calm appearance and looked a little tired.
For a big family with great power, the king's suspicion, the power disputes of the royal family and the ministers will inevitably affect the ducal palace, these things are not easy, she can only do it alone, silently under pressure, she can't rely on her husband, she can't rely on anyone else, she relies on herself.
It's hard, but she's still able to handle it. But the strife within the family made it even more difficult for her, and this was somewhat due to her own reasons, because she had never had children.
Since there is no childbearing, the heir to the Duke's Mansion will hang in the future, maybe Lin Sha, or adopt an adopted son to inherit. Although the Duke spends most of the year at sea, in Hefy's days, he also worked other noble ladies and ladies.
In fact, the so-called adoption of an adopted son is nothing more than the public turning the duke's illegitimate son into a legitimate heir. This may also be the Duke's mind.
The Duke's thoughts......
In fact, there is another one, the Duchess shook her head, although these two minds of the Duke have never revealed anything in front of her, she has still seen some clues over the years.
The reason why the duke was keen to conquer the sea. First, it is to reduce the king's suspicion all year round, and secondly, the duke's heart is probably not so peaceful, and the credit of the Lindu family is already big enough. The Duke's status has reached its limit, and the Duke is still happy with it. I am afraid that it is also to establish its own prestige among the people.
And she could keenly feel that the duke had such a mind, because she found some contacts between the duke and Dongying by chance. This is not an ordinary exchange, but an exchange with the dignitaries of the Dongying Dynasty, which is a very dangerous signal.
There is no doubt that Heaphy occupies an important position between Huaxing and Dongying.
Dongying has always been ambitious to defeat Huaxing in order to occupy the rich land of Huaxing, but he has always been afraid of it, after all, Huaxing is the largest country in the mainland.
But if Heaphy can form an alliance with Dongying, Dongying will not have any disadvantage, although Heaphy does not have a decent land force, but a strong navy can provide Dongying with the landing needs, then the result is difficult to say.
And the duke is willing to do this, the main purpose is to replace the royal family that has always been friendly with Huaxing with the support of Dongying to become the new supreme ruler of Hefe.
This is simply playing with fire, it is difficult to say whether Huaxing can be defeated, defeat Huaxing, then Dongying will become a behemoth, the duke wants to be a king, I am afraid it can only be a short-lived king, and Dongying is defeated, Huaxing will also not let him go, and when the time comes, Heffy is destined to become a conquered country.
But it was evident that the Duke had been blinded by the lust for power, and had no intention of turning back, and who would have known that the Duke's affection for his wife and his sister's affection for his wife and care for his sister in front of outsiders were merely a means to paralyze the king.
When the time came, the two of them were the objects he gave up.
It's just that those stupid ladies who have the duke's children don't understand the duke's "painstaking work" at all, and they can't help but jump out eagerly.
Don't think about the duke's most secret thing for the time being, then there is still time to think slowly, for now, it is better to solve the problem in front of you first, since someone dares to attack the duke's mansion, then he will have to pay the corresponding price!
The Duchess rubbed her head gracefully before she stood up and walked into the bathroom......
The Duchess's jade hand gently untied her dress, and her hand ran along the exaggerated curve of her waist. The skirt that covered her hips faded a little more. The graceful plumpness of the curves with the elasticity and smoothness that the fingers can feel, looking at the beautiful and proud carcass in the mirror, a self-pity expression can't help but reveal from her face, the jade hand gently follows the jade neck, crisp chest, lower abdomen, all the way downstream, as if with magic power, where the jade hand passes, her delicate body becomes crimson, but when her hand stays under the lower abdomen, her body seems to become cold, and her eyes look at it in a daze, There was a mark like a small key, and when the duke saw it on the wedding night, he did not rush up excitedly, but turned around and went out of the room as if he had seen a ghost.
The two of them haven't slept together since then, but are constantly looking for other women outside.
Later, she learned that this small key-like mark was a semen-sucking woman who was discolored by a man talking about a tiger, and if she copulated with such a woman, the man would be sucked out of sperm and blood by the woman and turned into a dry corpse and died, which is why the bedroom on Shephie's wedding night was lit with bright lights all night.
The Duchess looked at it and sighed faintly: she didn't want to be a noble goddess in the eye-catching eyes of Hephie's men, but wanted to be a woman who could be favored by men, and preferably have children...... (To be continued......)
