As the carriage slowly came to a halt in a large clearing.

Wang Xue and several people got out of the carriage one after another.

Not far from a few people, there are rows of simple houses, and many people from the slums who live here temporarily walk around, some chatting and playing cards together.

It's very idle.

And when everyone saw the county lord, they got up one after another and saluted her.

Wang Xue also greeted everyone with a smile, and also took the two little ones around the neighborhood.

During this period, Zhao Xiaorou asked the uncle and aunt she knew before about her father, and everyone told the little girl about her father according to Wang Xue's instructions in advance.

Zhao Xiaorou also believed and accepted this fact made up by Wang Xue.

After that, Wang Xue stayed to chat with everyone for a while, and when it was noon, Wang Xue also asked someone to share the hundreds of catties of cooked meat he bought for everyone to eat.

And she also ate with everyone, which brought her closer to the people.

It also makes everyone feel that this county lord is amiable and a real good person, a good person.

Even Wang Xue herself feels that she is really happy with the people.

After lunch, Wang Xue did not continue to stay, but took a few people from the small group to get into the carriage and go back.

And yet on the way back.

The unexpected happened.

Because the people of the slums are temporarily living in the suburbs.

So to get back to the city, you need to pass through a sparsely populated dirt road.

And this is also the best place to kill people, so as Wang Xue thought, the murderer appeared.

When the carriage was still a few miles away from the city gate, several black-clothed and masked figures with steel knives appeared not far in front of the carriage.

Wu Sheng stopped the carriage and said in a deep voice to Wang Xue in the car: "County Lord, as you expected, they are really here. ”

Wang Xue didn't feel much surprise, but nodded, and then said to Wu Sheng: "Can you solve them alone?" ”

"I'm not sure if it's a sneak attack, but if it's a head-to-head battle, they're not my opponent." After speaking, Wu Sheng jumped out of the carriage, wiped his palm on his waist, and a soft sword was drawn from his waist, and then walked towards the black-clothed people step by step.

Wang Xue in the carriage only heard the sound of weapons colliding outside and screams one after another.

After a few breaths, there was silence outside the carriage.

A moment later, Wu Sheng's voice sounded outside the carriage: "County Lord, only one is left alive, and the rest are all killed." ”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

It was only at this time that Wang Xue lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, but before getting out of the carriage, she also told Qing'er to watch the two little guys and not let them get off the carriage.

Although Xiao Tuanzi was very curious, he still chose to be obedient, did not get out of the car, did not even open the curtain, just leaned to the side of the carriage and quietly listened to the movement outside.

Wang Xue came to the man in black and stopped, and said indifferently: "Tell me, who sent you to kill me." ”

The man in black just looked at Wang Xue coldly, but he didn't say a word.

Suddenly, Wu Sheng sensed something, and made a lightning move, his fingers clasped the man's chin, and his mouth was opened, and then he poked out his fingers and took out a small bag of sheep intestines from under his tongue.

"County Lord, he just almost committed suicide by poisoning."

Wang Xue's eyes sank, and then she stopped talking nonsense with him, and simply used the prop 'Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai'.

"Tell me, who told you to kill me?"

"It's the Seventh Prince." The man said very simply.

Sure enough, it was him.

Then your plan is right.

Wu Sheng, who was on the side, changed his face, and at the same time thought of something, his face turned a little whiter.

"Kill it." Knowing who did it, then there is no need for these people to stay alive.

After dropping a sentence lightly, Wang Xue turned around and went back to the carriage.

As Wu Sheng's sword fell, the man returned to the west with his life.

Back in the carriage, whip up, and the carriage slowly drove towards the city gates.

Wu Shengsheng grabbed the whip in his hand, his face was ugly.

In the carriage, Qing'er looked at her county lord and saw that she didn't say a word, so she also quieted down.

After the carriage returned to the palace, Wang Xue took a few people out of the car and returned to his residence.

Wang Xue called Xi'er, "Xi'er, tell me what you saw." ”

Xi'er nodded, first glanced at Wu Sheng, who was standing silently on the side, and then said in a deep voice: "Back to the county lord, after you left, one of Brother Wu's people quietly left the palace. ”

"Who is it?" Wang Xue didn't look at Wu Sheng, but asked expressionlessly.

"It's Zhao Qu."

"Confused!" After hearing this name, Wu Sheng on the side couldn't help but blurt out, and then realized that he shouldn't say this, so he immediately knelt down, "County Lord, please be sure to find out, in case my brother is not"

Wang Xue glanced at Wu Sheng, "Wu Sheng, you know my temper, you don't have to say some things, and I, Wang Xue, have always been pragmatic in doing things, if he Zhao Qu didn't betray me and didn't betray me, I wouldn't do anything to him, but if this person is him, then Wu Sheng, you know what will happen to him." ”

Wu Sheng's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, county lord." ”

Subsequently, Zhao Qu was brought over by Qing'er.

At this time, Zhao Qu had no expression on his face, but he already felt faintly bad in his heart.

Because Wang Xue was still alive at this time, and she called herself as soon as she returned home, there must be something wrong here.

Especially after seeing Brother Wu kneeling on the ground in the room, he was stunned at first, and Zhao Qu's mood sank even more, but he still walked quickly to Wang Xue without changing his face, and said, "County Lord, you call me." ”

"Hmm." Wang Xue looked at him lightly, she knew this person, and he had saved his life a few times before.

But why is he the one who whispers?

Thinking of this, Wang Xue calmly asked, "Zhao Qu, this county lord asks you, how do I treat you during this time?" ”

Zhao Qu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "The county lord naturally didn't treat the villain, and it is also a blessing for the villain to follow you." ”

Wang Xue slowly tapped her fingers on the table, "By the way, when I came back today, I found someone to assassinate and almost lost my life, do you know about this matter?" ”

Zhao Qu's heart trembled, sure enough!

He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The villain doesn't know. ”

"You don't know?" Wang Xue's eyes were cold, and she shouted coldly: "You still dare to say that you don't know? If you hadn't told the truth, I would have been assassinated? Zhao Qu, do you think this county lord is a fool? Well? ”

Zhao Qu's face changed, his knees weakened, and he knelt down with a plop.

"County Lord, the villain is wronged! How could a villain go to snitch? This. This is definitely not something that villains do, please be aware of it! ”

"Are you still hard-mouthed when you are dying?" Wang Xue looked at him coldly, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I will tell you to die." ”
