Volume 1 The First Encounter Chapter 19 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, and the Yellow Sparrow Follows

Mrs. Chen was escorted into the firewood room by the servant women of the lord of Xiaohui and kept her until the next night.

Although it was closed, there were soft bedding pillows, and food was brought in on time, and the person in custody was replaced by Xue Zhen with the person he was used to the next morning.

Look at it is affectionate and meaningful.

In this way, even though Mrs. Chen was locked up, no one dared to scold or talk too much, but she was not as free as she was some time ago.

Chen Niangzi didn't make trouble, she seemed to immediately realize that she was no longer the favorite concubine of the "eldest son of the world", but the "slut" who the county lord hated, and the situation at the moment was already rare, how dare she complain?

Therefore, Mrs. Chen slept beautifully in the firewood room, and occasionally hummed two country tunes during the day.

She thought she would have to spend a few days in the firewood room, but when it was time for dinner, things changed unexpectedly.

At dusk that night, the little maid in the kitchen came to bring food to Mrs. Chen.

The servant woman guarding the firewood room was chatting with melon seeds, and when she saw her coming to deliver something, she asked the little maid, "Why are you again?" Three times a day, it's not too tiring. ”

"If I don't come, who else will?" The little maid complained, "Someone has to run." This is the sisters-in-law's share, and I brought it with me. ”

"I'm really tired of you." The servant woman said.

"Don't bother, I still have something to ask for my aunt."

The little maid was very lively, and talked with the servants outside for a long time, and when she came in to bring food to Mrs. Chen, it was already past a cup of tea.

She was tired of chattering outside the door, and after entering the firewood room, she put down the food box, threw it down, "I'll wait to get it", and ran away.

At this time, the meal was already cold, but Mrs. Chen didn't care, and opened the food box, which was a meat and a vegetarian dish, as well as a bowl of japonica rice.

Mrs. Chen stretched her waist, sat cross-legged at the small table, picked up her chopsticks and flipped them in the japonica rice, and her hand stopped.

Hidden in the middle of the meal was a note.

Mrs. Chen, who was bored, immediately became energetic, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The adult didn't lie to her, and the lord had already arranged for someone to pick her up in Xue Zhen's mansion.

The prince of Anyang Hou of Zhao, but that's it.

*

In the city gate camp, Xue Zhen, who had just interrogated the ruffian in the prison, returned to the tent.

Yesterday he had nausea for a day and barely ate anything, but this morning he was slightly better, although he still didn't have much appetite, but Xue Zhen still forced himself to eat a lot.

It's stuffed, it tastes the same as chewing wax, and it chokes on my throat and stomach.

Therefore, when he was interrogated in the prison, he stood all the time, and now he did not sit down when he returned to the tent, but carried the bow and practiced his arm strength, and he was all consumed.

The ruffian's mouth was hard, but he wasn't in a hurry, after all, the ruffian assassin didn't know as much as he did.

There was a lot of time, Li Jiao'er was safe for the time being, and as an assassin, when she was captured alive, she became an inconsequential side.

Therefore, what he is entangled with at the moment is the unfinished book of harmony and departure that he holds under the military book of his handsome case.

It shouldn't be said that it wasn't finished, but that it wasn't written.

Since the day Li Jiaoer proposed to make peace, Xue Zhen has only written three words on that piece of paper: Heli Shu.

After that, he didn't know how to write, and he didn't want to write.

He was full of entanglement, the more he didn't want Li Jiao'er, the special wood aroma on her body drilled into his nose yesterday.

Just when the prince was about to vomit again, someone suddenly said outside the tent: "General." ”

"Come in." Xue Zhen put down his bow and said.

A brown-clothed man walked in, bowed his hand and whispered, "Shizi, the Chen family stunned the guards and fled." ”

Xue Zhen raised his eyebrows.

He was not mistaken, there were nails arranged by others in the Hou Mansion.

But it was so immediate, it was still unexpected.

It seems that some of his ideas need to be changed.

"Order forty people, change the people's clothes, and immediately go to the Honglu Inn." After Xue Zhen finished instructing, he thought for a while, and added, "You go to Renxin Hall and Karakuri Pavilion to make sure that there is nothing going on over there." ”

"Yes." The man in brown commanded.

*

When Mrs. Chen knocked down the two servant women who were guarding and escaped from the Marquis of Anyang Mansion very quickly and smoothly, she had no doubts about the matter.

During the time she stayed in the Hou Mansion, she had already figured out the situation in the Hou Mansion: the son in power did not return home in the New Year; The wife of the prince is not favored, has no power, and is despised; The old marquis cultivates immortals in the Taoist temple.

Therefore, the real power of the Hou Mansion is in the hands of the lord of Xiaohui.

The county lord is fierce and welding, and the housekeeper is well-thought, but in the eyes of her, a person who specializes in spying, it is equivalent to a sieve.

After leaving the house, no one followed her, which made her even more sure.

She did not delay at all, and soon took advantage of the night to go to the Honglu Inn and arrived at the guest room of the envoy of Chen Guo.

Chen Guo's envoy was still worried about the ruffian assassin, but when he suddenly saw her appear, he asked very unexpectedly, "Why did you come out?" ”

Mrs. Chen wrapped her hair and sneered: "My lord, it's just that the little girl didn't expect that I had forced the Li family girl out, and more than ten days have passed, and the adult's people have failed and been captured?" Our Chen Guo's spies here are so unbearable? ”

Chen Guo's envoy frowned, and asked in confusion: "How do you know?" ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen smiled and said strangely: "Didn't the adult send me a letter to ask me to get the daughter of the Li family?" ”

Chen Guo's envoy was shocked: "Where do I have it?" ”

Mrs. Chen's face changed suddenly.

Worst!

As soon as the thought came to me, there was the sound of the wind being cut in my ears.

Chen Niangzi didn't have time to dodge, and the sharp arrow had already broken through the window and flew in, hitting her shoulder.

Hit the trick!

Enduring the severe pain, Chen Niangzi still calmly pounced, kicked the envoy of Chen Guo over first, kicked him under the bed, and said in a low voice: "Don't come out, adults!" ”

As for herself, she turned around to dodge the sharp arrows that were still being fired, broke out of the window, kicked over the nearest man in black, picked up the crossbow arrow in the man's hand, turned around and turned to another man in black at the end of the corridor, and crashed into the opposite room, and fled with a piercing scream.

It won't be Jokhang's people.

If Xue Zhen's people lure her into the box but do not capture her and Chen Guo's envoys alive, and get evidence to negotiate with Chen Guo, but send someone to kill them, wouldn't they put the that killed the envoy and put it on Dazhao's head?

Therefore she had to fight off the Assassins, she had to run.

If she runs away, Chen Guo's envoys can live, and Chen Guo's plan can be hidden.

But who is this mysterious third party?

At the beginning of the assassination at the Honglu Inn, when Mrs. Chen fled, Xue Zhen and forty brown-clothed men wearing various colors of coarse cloth and hiding sharp weapons had just arrived on the street where the inn was located.

Suddenly, he heard the noise in front of him shouting and shaking the sky, and the little official in the inn shouting to catch the assassin, Xue Zhen was also surprised, he didn't care about hiding his whereabouts, and immediately rushed into the inn, stopped the little official and asked:

"What's going on?"

The little official recognized him at a glance and shouted incoherently: "Shizi, assassin! Assassin! Chen Guo's envoy ......"

Xue Zhen's heart sank.

So coincidental?

Who is it?
