Chapter 73: Assassination
The next day was the day to go back to his parents' house to save his relatives, Xie Daoyun got up early in the morning to wash, change clothes, and put on makeup in front of the bronze mirror.
Wang Zhen got up and walked over and asked, "Have the eye bags been swollen?" ”
Xie Daoyun turned his head to show him, Wang Zhen stepped forward to take a closer look, and said, "It hasn't completely disappeared yet." ”
Xie Daoyun said: "Help me comb my hair!" ”
Wang Zhen said: "I'm clumsy and clumsy, it's not good to hurt you, I'll call Xiao Ling over!" ”
Xie Daoyun said coquettishly: "Don't! I want you to comb it. ”
Wang Zhen had no choice but to pick up the comb and carefully help Xie Daoyun comb his hair.
Xie Daoyun grabbed his hair and asked, "Does it look good with my hair coiled?" ”
Wang Zhen smiled: "It looks good! But if you put your hair up, you're a little woman! ”
Xie Daoyun glanced at the bronze mirror and said, "I've already married you, I'm not a little woman yet?" ”
At this moment, Aunt Liu knocked on the door outside and said, "Old lady, it's not too early, the matchmaker is already waiting outside the door." ”
Wang asked, "I haven't washed yet!" Get it yourself! I need to hurry. ”
Xie Daoyun said: "Hmm! There you go! ”
After Wang Zhen washed up, went outside to say hello to the matchmaker and returned to the bedroom, Xie Daoyun had already coiled his hair and stood in front of Wang Zhen in light blue clothes, living like a gentle and touching little woman.
Wang Zhen praised: "It's so beautiful! ”
The two of them had breakfast, and everything was ready to go outside. Wang Zhen rode a horse, Xie Daoyun and the matchmaker each rode a sedan chair, and the gift was on the rear panel car. Xiao Ling is dowry, and Yahuan also went back to her parents' house with her.
Back at Xie's Manor, all the customs and etiquette of returning to the door are taken care of by the matchmaker, and Wang Zhen and Xie Daoyun just hold a personal scene and don't need to bother.
When it came to the tea ceremony, Xie Daoyun's mother sat in the chief, Wang Zhen and Xie Daoyun knelt at their feet, and the new aunt Wang Zhen served tea first.
Yahuan held the tray to serve tea, Wang Zhen picked up the teacup and held it high above his head, and said loudly: "Mother, please drink tea!" ”
Xie Daoyun's mother happily took the teacup and took a sip, put the teacup on the table beside her, picked up the red envelope on the table and handed it to Wang Qian, and said with a smile: "I can see that you are a good boy, and you will treat my daughter well in the future." ”
Wang Zhen took the red envelope with both hands and said loudly: "Mother! I'm going to be good to Dao Yun! ”
Xie Daoyun's mother blossomed and said, "Okay! Good! ”
Xie Daoyun smiled with satisfaction beside him.
It was Xie Daoyun's turn to give tea, and Xie Daoyun said, "Mother, please drink tea!" ”
Xie Daoyun's mother drank tea, handed over the red envelope, and said affectionately: "In the future, I will teach my husband and children well!" ”
Xie Daoyun took the red envelope with red eyes and said, "Mother, I will!" ”
Wang Zhen saw it in his eyes, and reached out to grab Xie Daoyun's hand hard, meaning: Don't worry! I will rely on it in the future!
Xie Daoyun understood the meaning of Wang Qian, and felt a lot of relief in his heart.
Because Xie Daoyun's father has passed away, Xie Daoyun's uncle, Xie An, the head of the family, will accept the tea ceremony for the newlyweds.
The maid was holding the tray to serve tea, and Wang Zhi's eyes were sharp, and he vaguely saw a dagger hidden in his right hand under the maid's tray.
Wang Zhen was very vigilant, and before he could think about it, he said loudly: "Beware of assassins! ”
Before the maid reached the best assassination position, the plot had been revealed, so she had to change her strategy and throw the tray in her hand at Xie An, and at the same time quickly stepped forward, and the dagger in her hand went straight to Xie An's throat.
When the maid threw the tray out, the king, who was kneeling not far away, immediately bounced up from the ground, followed with lightning speed, and struggled to hold the maid's left arm.
Xie An leaned back against the back of the chair after blocking the tray, because the maid's left arm was dragged, the right arm was not long enough, and the dagger was still an inch away from Xie An's throat.
The maid reacted very quickly, changed her move in an instant, and raised her foot to kick Xie An's throat. Seeing this, Wang Zhen grabbed the maid's arm and pulled her back, so that the maid's feet couldn't reach Xie An's throat.
The ladies in the hall panicked and screamed.
Xie An was very calm, calm throughout the whole process, leaning on the back of the chair and shouting: "Someone! Catch the assassins! ”
The four government soldiers standing guard outside the door rushed in as soon as possible, shouting at the same time: "Arrest the assassin!" Catch the assassins! ”
As a result, the soldiers poured into the hall from all over the manor.
The maid watched the six roads with her eyes and listened to all directions, she probably understood the movements of the manor, and knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. The body has been pulled down from behind by Wang Zhen, Yahuan pressed the ground with her right hand, stabilized her body with force, and immediately kicked the top of Wang Zhen's head with exaggerated flexibility. Wang Zhi retreated, dodging a blow from the top of his head.
The maid kicked her legs on the ground, and the whole person flew out of the water, straightening the dagger and pounced into Wang Zhi's arms, and the dagger pointed at Wang Zhi's heart. The maid shot too hard, Wang Zhen had to avoid its edge, took two steps back and turned sideways to the right, and narrowly avoided the maid's sacrifice attack.
In fact, the maid's attack is fake, and running away is real. Wang Zhen dodged, and the maid immediately turned in the air and landed on her back, rolled forward by inertia, quickly opened the distance between Wang Qian, got up and ran out of the hall quickly.
Wang Zhen chased after him, and the maid made a 360-degree turn, threw the dagger in his hand, and blocked Wang Zhen's way forward. Immediately afterwards, the maid jumped unusually flexibly in the gap between the four government soldiers, and jumped out of the hall in three and two. The soldiers who came from all over the chrysalis had not yet closed, and the maid took the opportunity to jump between the walls and pillars, and climbed onto the roof and disappeared.
The maid threw a dagger at the king, and behind the king was Xie Daoyun, there was no way to retreat, and there was no way to avoid it! Wang Zhen could only take out the dagger from behind him, and quickly shot the dagger down with his hand.
Shooting down a dagger is like threading a needle, requiring not only strong concentration, but also a steady enough hand and fast enough acceleration.
Wang Zhen was not completely sure, thinking that it was best to shoot it down, and if he couldn't shoot it down, he would block himself in front of him, so as not to hurt Xie Daoyun.
Wang Zhen shot down the dagger, and when he came back to his senses, the maid ring had already climbed onto the roof and disappeared.
Wang Zhen put away the dagger, returned to Xie An, and asked, "My lord, are you not injured?" ”
Xie An stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's okay, everything is fine!" Well, don't lose the mood and continue to serve tea! Also, Wang Qian, you have to change your words. ”
There was a false alarm just now, and everyone in the hall felt relieved to see that Xie An was as stable as Mount Tai and calm.
So, the matchmaker smiled and said, "New aunt, why are you still called an adult?" It's time to change your name to Uncle. ”
Wang Zhen bowed his head and said with a smile: "Yes, uncle!" ”
At this time, the commander of the government soldiers came to confess the guilt and said, "My lord, the subordinate guards are late, please surrender!" ”
Xie An said: "Don't worry! It's business as usual! Find out what the hell is going on. ”
After the commander led the order and left, Xie An said: "Serve tea again!" ”
Wang Zhen and Xie Daoyun knelt down and served tea to Xie An again.
After the tea, Wang Zhen reminded: "Uncle, the assassin is very skilled, and this matter is probably extraordinary. ”
Xie An said with a smile: "Today is the day when Dao Yun gets married and returns to the door, don't let these things be distracted." ”
After a while, the commander of the government soldiers reported: "The female corpse was found in the well in the inner courtyard, I am afraid it is the original maid." ”
Xie An said: "Got it! Keep tracking. ”
Since he couldn't share Xie An's worries, it was useless to talk and ask more, so Wang Zhen had no choice but to leave it behind and concentrate on chatting with the elders with Xie Daoyun. The two went back after lunch.
