Chapter 90: Assassination
The first day ended with nothing out of the ordinary.
"Xiao Jiu, wake up. We arrived at the inn" Sure enough, riding a horse is more comfortable than riding a carriage, Tang Xiaojiu rode a horse, and fell asleep in Tang Jieyang's arms, and he didn't know when he was carried back to the carriage.
"It would be nice if I could be like Xiao Jiu" Tang Xiaoqi looked at the innocent and carefree Tang Xiaojiu with envy.
"I'm sorry" Mo Junze looked at Tang Xiaoqi's expression, feeling that if it weren't for her appearance, she could still live freely.
Tang Xiaoqi was surprised by Mo Junze's sudden apology, "It's okay, this has nothing to do with you." ”
"Let's go, let's rest, we're tired all day." Tang Jieyang watched the two of them talk about the scenery, and hurriedly reminded everyone to rest.
After all, it was the first time to go far away, and Tang Xiaoqi and Tang's father and Tang's mother's family were already exhausted. After dinner, I went straight back to my room to rest.
"Brother, what do you say will happen to Feng Ziqing after Tang Xiaoqi enters Beijing?" Tang Jieyang had already heard that King Shen only had Tang Xiaoqi's biological daughter, which was why Mo Junze was specially sent out to find it.
"Xie Yang, this matter has nothing to do with us, now we just need to escort Tang Xiaoqi back to Beijing safely, and we don't need to ask more about the rest."
Tang Jieyang knew that his cousin had never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, and if it wasn't for King Shen's request this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come. But is Mo Junze really not worried about Tang Xiaoqi? Tang Jieyang thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason.
"Xiao Jiu, are you still riding a horse?" When he was about to hurry the next morning, Tang Xiaoqi deliberately asked when he watched Tang Xiaojiu take the initiative to board the carriage.
When Tang Xiaojiu heard his sister ask, his little face suddenly turned red. hurriedly refused, "No, Little Seventh Sister, I still feel comfortable riding in the carriage." He wouldn't admit that he could fall asleep in someone else's arms, and he was drooling when he heard it. It's a shame.
"Yes, the scenery outside is so good, it's a pity not to ride a horse" Tang Xiaoqi didn't expect Tang Xiaojiu to love face so much, so he had to sigh a few words to himself, and then set off.
Seeing that there was still a day to go to the capital, the road had been safe and sound for the past few days, and just when everyone thought that Zuo Xiang had given up the idea of assassinating Tang Xiaoqi, a crisis appeared.
"Mo Junze, you said that we will arrive in the capital in one day, and the people from Zuo Xiang have not yet appeared, will they not come in the future?" Tang Xiaoqi didn't expect Zuo Xiang's character to be repaid, and he didn't do anything on the road he walked by.
"I don't know, but we should still be careful" Mo Junze actually had the same question as Tang Xiaoqi in his heart, after all, it was getting closer and closer to the capital, and the timing of the assassination was indeed becoming more and more unfavorable to Zuo Xiang.
"If you want me to say, Zuo Xiang must be afraid, after all, there is me and the most powerful major general in my court, does he have the courage to assassinate?" Tang Xie Yang has always believed in himself, so his tone of voice is a little arrogant.
"A few guest officers, do you want to drink some tea and are you on your way?" Just when a few people were chatting, they happened to pass by a tea shop.
"It's okay," Tang Jieyang wanted to stop after hearing this, and beckoned everyone to rest for a while.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, we are in a hurry, so we won't stop" Tang Xiaoqi hurriedly stopped Tang Jieyang when he hadn't gotten off the horse.
"Don't be in such a hurry, this place is very close to the city in front" The shopkeeper saw that they had no intention of stopping, and hurriedly persuaded loudly.
"Hurry up, there must be something strange here" Tang Xiaoqi guessed that there must be a problem here with his years of experience in watching TV series.
"Is there anything wrong with Xiao Qi?" Mo Junze looked at the environment of this tea shop, as well as the simple shopkeeper and the shopkeeper and a few scattered customers, and did not see anything wrong.
"I don't know, it's just intuition" Tang Xiaoqi felt that he should still believe in the plot in the TV series.
"Kill" Just as the last horse of the convoy walked by, the pantry revealed its true face, and everyone inside drew their weapons from their arms, as if they were attacking.
"Daddy and mother take Xiao Jiu to hide" Tang Xiaoqi was pulled up by Mo Junze and protected into her arms, but she didn't have any force value, so she could only be protected by Mo Junze, watching the people and horses on both sides enter the melee.
Tang Xiaoqi didn't say anything, the two sides were fighting next to the carriage, but as soon as she made a sound, the enemy might just remember that Tang Xiaoqi was the main target, and the others didn't care. Therefore, the group of people in the tea shop began to concentrate on attacking Tang Xiaoqi's side.
"Mo Junze be careful" Tang Xiaoqi didn't expect that he would become a pig teammate today, which was very embarrassing.
"It's okay, you hide. I'll deal with it" Although Mo Junze protected Tang Xiaoqi, he was not dragged down by it.
"Where did the left minister find the person, he is quite stamina"
It took half a battle between the two sides before Mo Junze and his party finished solving the enemy. Unexpectedly, the killers sent by Zuo Xiang were not as good as Mo Junze and Tang Jieyang in martial arts, but this group of people was very resistant, and as long as they didn't hurt their vital points, they could always be in a fighting state.
"Xiao Qi, are you all right" Father Tang escorted Li and Tang Xiaojiu in the car, not daring to make any noise, and heard that there was no sound outside, so he asked.
"It's all settled," he said to Tang's father and mother in the car, and when he was about to check the scene with Mo Junze and others, he saw that Li was about to open the curtain and look out. "Mother, don't look out"
Tang Xiaoqi hurriedly stopped Li's movements. After all, the scene was too bloody, if I hadn't experienced it last time, and I was mentally prepared, I would have fainted on the spot this time.
"How's it going?"
"Although the other party was all wiped out by us, our people also died and were injured."
"The injured are arranged in the carriage behind, and the other two brothers are buried thickly" The sacrifice of his subordinates made Mo Junze frown. I didn't expect it to come.
"Their family?" Tang Xiaoqi also heard the situation reported by Mo Junze's subordinates on the side. I feel very sorry for these people, who are about to lose their lives to protect themselves at the same age.
"Their family members are also dead, they are all orphans I took in during the march" Mo Junze didn't expect that the good son of Fang Gang did not die on the battlefield, but died in the battle of his own people.
"I'm afraid, we're going to sleep in the suburbs tonight" Tang Jieyang glanced at the sun that was about to set in the west, and understood that he wouldn't be able to enter the city today.
"It doesn't matter who let us get into this."
When it was almost cleaned up, the group continued to set off.
"Xiao Qi, how did you know that these people had a problem just now?" Tang Jieyang felt that neither he nor Mo Junze found anything wrong, but he didn't expect Tang Xiaoqi to see it.
"Well, I think we've been on the road for several days, and we haven't encountered a tea shop along the way, so why did we run into one here? I thought there was a problem, that's why I asked you to hurry."
Tang Xiaoqi did remember the situation in the TV series in his mind at first, as long as it is a shop in the suburbs, whether it is a tea shop or a simple restaurant, as long as it is in a remote location, there must be a problem. But now that I think about it, a few days ago, I went all the way out of the post station, and there was no shop, and it suddenly appeared today, so there must be something wrong with this store.
