Volume 2 Journey to the Northern Xinjiang Chapter 143 Why did you come?

When the second arrow arrived, Li Yuejiao was already squatting on the ground, burying her head in her knees, wrapping herself in the cloak and shrinking to the minimum, for fear that if she moved too much, she would be held hostage and cause trouble to Hu Rong.

Being so nervous made her sense of hearing sharper, and she could hear the sound of sharp arrows cutting through the air clearly.

Hu Rong flew up and felt that his toes kicked the tail feathers of the flying arrow, and the flying arrow was crooked, passed through everyone again, and nailed to the door.

When Hu Rong landed, he was already pulling Li Yuejiao's cloak, stopping the person behind him, and raised his eyes to look in the direction where the arrow was flying.

And Hu Mu, who was sitting in the gatehouse, had already rushed out of the house when he noticed a sneak attack, turned over and jumped onto the roof, to deal with the masked assassin who was dressed in snow-white clothes and the same color as the world after the snow.

The two arrows missed, and the assassin was not in love with fighting, and when Hu Mu jumped on the roof, he shot a third arrow in the direction of Li Yuejiao, turned around and fled.

The assassin's body moved faster than Hu Mu expected.

In Li Yuejiao's yard, the direction in which the two arrows were coming was Li Yuejiao, and everyone naturally thought that they were coming at Li Yuejiao.

Unexpectedly, when the third arrow flew, Hu Rong's face changed again, and he didn't dare to leave Li Yuejiao, but only stopped in front of Li Yuejiao with his body, while relying on his long hands and long legs, when the arrow reached the tip of Zheng Xiaoxi's nose, he was stunned and held the arrow with his hand.

All kinds of crises, but in an instant, all the sick and not sick in the house ran out, and looked at what was happening; And Zheng Xiaoxi, who was in it, didn't understand what was going on, Li Yuejiao woke up first and looked at Zheng Xiaoxi in surprise.

Why did the person they want to kill turn out to be the sixth brother?

Hu Rong glanced at Zheng Xiaoxi even more quickly, and saw that the old and weak women and children in the courtyard had come out, and immediately said to Hu Mu, who was chasing the assassin:

"Second brother! Beware of turning the tiger away from the mountain!"

He is alone, and he can't protect all the women and children in this courtyard.

Hu Muben had already jumped out, and when he heard Hu Rong's words and thought about it, he was afraid in his heart for a while, and he didn't dare to chase after him, but simply stood on the roof, looked vigilant, and asked:

"Big brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Hu Rong responded, glanced at Zheng Xiaoxi, who was frozen in the local area, turned around and saluted Li Yuejiao and asked, "Madame, is she injured?"

And at this time, the people in the courtyard realized what was happening, and they all panicked, especially the clouds, whose faces had just turned a little red turned pale again, and they pounced over to look Li Yuejiao up and down, and cried:

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine," Li Yuejiao immediately comforted her, and said to the nervous Qin Le, "Senior sister, you take them back to the house, it's okay here."

"What's the call it's okay?" Qin Le glanced at the arrow nailed to the door frame, and his legs were weak, "Yes, someone wants to assassinate you."

"Where is it so exaggerated," Li Yuejiao said casually, and then said with a straight face, "If someone really came to assassinate you, what can you do?" They all ran out, wouldn't it make trouble for the two brothers of the Hu family? Go back, I'm fine."

As she spoke, she pushed the clouds and commanded them again:

"If there is such a thing in the future, they are not allowed to come out after staying in their own house, our yard is not big but not small, and the two Hu brothers can't take care of it."

Yun Tuan didn't worry about her yet, but hearing her say this, he could only be helped by Qin Le, turned back step by step, and obediently went back to the room.

Li Yuejiao sent everyone away, and then looked at Zheng Xiaoxi, who was still in shock, flattened her tone hard, and asked gently:

"Sixth brother, they are not here to kill me, they are here to kill you."

"Huh? Ah-" Zheng Xiaoxi looked at Li Yuejiao blankly, shuddered, and said in a panic, "I, I, I don't know, why?"

yes, why? Li Yuejiao tilted her head and looked at Zheng Xiaoxi suspiciously.

She believed that Zheng Xiaoxi didn't know why the matter had been decided, but suddenly an assassin appeared to kill him.

She grew up with Zheng Xiaoxi since she was a child, and she knew that he was obsessed with medicine, and he was even more cautious.

When she was in Beijing, she was a well-known young and old man on Wanfu Street, and she was a good person who was more gentle than her father.

Therefore, Zheng Xiaoxi will never offend people, so today's assassination can only be because of the aftermath of the previous incident.

But, why?

Didn't the sixth brother see the faces of those people?

"Sixth brother," she leaned closer and comforted him softly, "Sixth brother, don't be nervous, with the two elder brothers of the Hu family, they will definitely be able to protect your safety, you can think about what you told me just now, is there anything you neglected?"

Zheng Xiaoxi just learned from Li Yuejiao that the matter was solved today, and the heart that mentioned it was originally put down, but he was suddenly assassinated by someone, and when the fear of being hunted down and killed before resurfaced, it had been multiplied.

His mind was a mess of mud, not to mention the details, and he had to forget where he was.

He just shook his head, his lips twitching slightly, and muttered, "I don't know...... Big sister, I really can't remember anything."

He also wanted to recall the details, but he couldn't remember anything, he just felt that he was even more useless.

Li Yuejiao saw that his eyes were straight, worried that he would be too stimulated, and secretly regretted that she was too anxious, so she hurriedly pulled him to the hall, and her tone was even softer:

"Sixth brother, don't worry, it's not a moment or a half."

As she spoke, she turned back to Wei Hong, who was standing stiffly in the courtyard, and said:

"Doctor Wei, look at my sixth brother!"

Although Wei Hong is also a person who has experienced some worldly things, it is the first time that such a straightforward assassination is the first time, so even if it has nothing to do with him, the person has been frozen in the courtyard, and he doesn't dare to move.

Thanks to Li Yuejiao's call to him, Wei Hong woke up with a spirit, hurriedly pressed the medicine box, and helped Zheng Xiaoxi to the main hall with Li Yuejiao to sit down and check his pulse.

Li Yuejiao knew that it was useless to be in a hurry here, so she withdrew from the hall again, closed the door, and asked the Hu family, who was standing by the pillar, studying the three flying arrows:

"Brother Hu, can you see this flying arrow?"

Hu Rong had already understood every point of the three arrows, and said:

"Mrs. Hui, this arrow is crudely made, even an apprentice who has been studying for two or three years can make it. There is no mark on the arrow, so I really can't see the calendar, and the assassin's body is really powerful, and it happened suddenly, I can't understand it."

Li Yuejiao bit her lip, grabbed the edge of the cloak, stared at the three flying arrows in his hand, and then looked at Hu Mu who was still squatting on the roof, and suddenly said after a long time:

"Sixth brother, you can't go back to Beijing."

Hu Rong didn't know what she said to Zheng Xiaoxi before, and when he looked up at her, he didn't understand.

"The sixth brother hasn't seen the person who rescued him home," Li Yuejiao analyzed calmly, "But they still want to kill the sixth brother, that can only mean one thing, the people behind the scenes are still in Anhua County, and they feel that the sixth brother must recognize them."

However, what kind of identity do you have to worry about Zheng Xiaoxi recognizing them?

Acquaintances, at least, should be intersecting with her, and acquaintances who can speak well will worry about these, otherwise if they are just ordinary people on the street, hiding in the crowd, I am afraid that they will not be recognized by Zheng Xiaoxi even if they talk about the year.

Therefore, Zheng Xiaoxi can't go back to Beijing, one is that the road is not safe, and the other is that he is here, and Xu can still lure people out.

Hu Rong was stunned and arched his hand: "Madam, the little one will go to the General's Mansion now and tell the general about the matter."

Li Yuejiao was about to nod, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said:

"Don't go today, take care of your home first. Didn't Dr. Wei say that the son of the world was sick? Let the prince rest for a day to recuperate."

In fact, she suspected that Xue Zhen should be repeatedly injured, after all, there was a matter of connecting the decree in the wind and snow of the northland, and the content of the holy decree was quite embarrassing.

It's not easy to hurry, so let's worry less about him.

"Yes, Madame, the little one will go tomorrow." Hu Rong said respectfully.

"But in the future, the safety of this courtyard will have to be entrusted to the two brothers to take care of," Li Yuejiao said politely, and said to Hu Mu on the roof, "

Second Brother Hu, come down, they shouldn't come again today, it's too cold, Second Brother is wearing less clothes, and it's freezing again."

When Hu Mu heard it, he answered, and stayed on the roof for a while before jumping down and walking over to Li Yuejiao:

"Madam, no one else sounded, only the opposite Wu Xuexue's house, when the small one went up, the door of Wu Xuexue's main hall had just been closed."

Li Yuejiao stared in the direction of the opposite door, as if she could see the Wu family through the wall of her own inverted courtyard.

"Someone from the world has inspected their house before, and they said it was clean, but now it's ......."

But before she could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Li Yuejiao, who was talking about business, closed her voice and immediately frowned.

Now her yard has become a vegetable market, why do people always come?

Immediately after, I heard someone outside the door shouting, "Brother Hu? Brother Hu, open the door."

Chang Bong? Li Yuejiao heard who was coming, and Hu Rong had already opened the door quickly.

Outside the door, Chang Feng led a team of people, pulling two carts of things, and when he saw Hu Rong coming out, he glanced at the broken arrow he was holding in his hand, ignored it, only hugged his fists and smiled and said, "Brother Hu, the son of the world is here to deliver something."

Hu Rong smiled back at him and said:

"Madame is in the main hall, come in with me."

Chang Feng was busy unloading everything and carrying it in, and he followed Hu Rong into the courtyard first, and saw Li Yuejiao standing on the verandah looking at him, still uncomfortable. new

However, he was taught a lesson by Xue Zhen before he came, saying "Be polite to Mrs.", he naturally didn't dare to show his face to Li Yuejiao openly.

I don't know what happened to his family, he came back from a trip in Beijing, why did he suddenly take care of Li Yuejiao?

It's weird.

"Madam," Chang Bong was dissatisfied with all kinds of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he was still polite on his face, and said after giving a salute, "The prince asked the little one to come and send something to Madame."

As he spoke, the little guy who followed behind him was already carrying things and fished in.

There are fur materials, all kinds of silk and satin materials, fine silver silk charcoal, all kinds of bruising medicines, ginseng and cordyceps and other precious medicinal materials, some books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, rice, flour, grain and oil, all kinds of fresh meat and dried meat, and all kinds of mushroom ingredients, and after a while, Li Yuejiao's small courtyard was piled up.

And in the end there were a thousand taels of silver.

As soon as the little servants moved in, Li Yuejiao's brows tightened, and when the 1,000 taels of silver finally moved in, her two eyebrows were simply twisted together.

Could it be that Xue Zhen ......
