Chapter 41: Assassination
Su Rong met Lan Niang's shocked gaze, and nodded admittedly, Zhou Gu is very good, it is good at a glance, and it is also very good after contact.
She took a sip of wine and sighed, "It's just that the lintel is too high, I don't know if I can ...... it."
As soon as she was halfway through her words, her face suddenly turned cold, and the wine jar in her hand was thrown behind her, only to hear the sound of "pop", the aroma of wine overflowing, she turned around suddenly, and at the same time carried a jar of unopened wine on the table in her hand, and threw it out.
The wine jar "snapped", pierced by the tip of the sword, and the fragments flew in the hops, only to see a black shadow, holding a sword in his hand, the sword glowed with cold and cold light, and stabbed straight at Su Rong, Su Rong couldn't dodge, took out the dagger hidden in his arms, and met the sword.
The man took a step back, his masked eyes as if shocked by something, and he withdrew suddenly.
This change, but in an instant, Lan Niang had already pulled out the sword on her waist, and before she could make a move, this person left. She put away her sword and said strangely, "Isn't this man here to kill you?" Why did you just leave after a photo? β
That's weird too! Not so far back in the day.
Su Rong thought for a moment and looked down at the dagger in his hand, "Maybe it's because of it?" β
The dagger in Su Rong's hand was a dagger with iron as clay, and the dagger was engraved with intricate patterns. From the day she got the dagger, she had already checked it, there was no engraving, no logo, only this complicated pattern was not common.
"Where did you get this dagger? It looks expensive. Lan Niang was puzzled.
"I saved a man a few days ago, and I asked for a reward from that man." Su Rong saw that Lan Niang was curious, and handed her the dagger.
Lan Niang took the dagger, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "This pattern is very special, it must come from the handwriting of everyone who is good at carving, ordinary craftsmen, and they can't carve such a style." β
"Hmm." Su Rong asked for someone because she looked very good, and she didn't want an ordinary dagger.
"You didn't ask who he was?"
"I didn't ask, Pingshui met, I saved him just by coincidence, I asked someone for a dagger as a reward, it's enough."
"But now this dagger seems to have a great origin, and it can help you get rid of the people who came to kill you. Why don't I find out where this dagger came from? Lan Niang asked, "You can also follow the vine and see who is going to kill you this time?" After all, over the years, the people and gods who came to kill you were mysterious, and they couldn't see a trace, they were all dead. β
"No need." Su Rong didn't want to be so troublesome, "Since my mother left, people have come to ask for my life every year, and I'm used to it." I know how, I don't know what, I'm as small as an ant crawling on the ground, and even if I knew, I couldn't help anyone who wanted to kill me at the moment. β
Lan Niang disagreed, "That was before, and now we have some foundations, and we may not be able to shake the tree." β
Su Rong looked at her, "You have suffered so much since you were a child, and you finally settled down here, I still hope that your wife will live peacefully and not die for me, in our opinion, now we have some foundation, but in the eyes of those powerful people from high families, it is not worth mentioning, and it is also vulnerable." Let's be honest! β
Lan Niang sighed, a little depressed, "Have you just endured it all the time?" β
She said seriously: "You have given us a stable life, we are free from being displaced from starvation and freezing to death, everyone wants to do something for you, even if it is for you to die, at any cost." β
She paused, and then said: "When I saw you, you were only a few years old, so old, you raised a lot of us, now some people marry wives and have children, some people marry and start a family, some people are like me, stable and rich, who would dream of a good day on this day?" Even if we die for you, we should have died, and without you, we would have died a long time ago. β
Su Rong laughed, stretched out his hand to pinch Lan Niang's face, "Okay, don't always talk about this, I can't see the displacement, when it snows, the broken temple cave is full of dead bodies." Who told me that I wasn't a young lady who stayed in the boudoir at all. You should be me to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and to repay myself with blessings. Otherwise, I would not have survived for so many years, stumbling and stumbling, so I would have gone to Jiuquan to find my mother to solve my doubts. β
Lan Niang was also amused, glanced at Su Rong, and swept away her depression, "Anyway, don't carry everything yourself, there are all of us here." β
"Got it." Su Rong withdrew his hand with a smile.
Lan Niang sighed, "Hey, you said that before your mother left, she didn't leave you a word, does she know that since she died, someone has been trying to kill you?" β
"Who knows." Anyway, her mother is dead, and she can't ask.
"I guess you know, right? Otherwise, why did she order you to be a family member of the Protectorate Mansion? Presumably, it is to find you the Protectorate Mansion to rely on. β
Su Rong said: "Advisor Zhou told him that our family was kind to him, and it was the marriage contract that the old protector took the initiative to make a marriage contract. β
She couldn't figure it out, so she knocked on the counter, "Get me another jar of wine." β
"Drink less, your body smells of alcohol, and even if you break the jar in front of your fiancΓ©, you should take care not to hurt yourself." Lan Niang said that, but she still took Su Rong a jar of wine and handed it to her.
Su Rong stretched out his hand to take it, opened the mouth of the altar, poured a mouthful, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I care more about my life than anyone else." β
Lan Niang frowned, "Since you have already made a marriage contract with the Protector Mansion, why has no one come to see you in the Protector Mansion for so many years?" If the Protectorate takes care of you and walks around more often, no one will dare to assassinate you, right? β
"The old protector must have his own considerations." Su Rong didn't understand, "The person who wants to kill me has always been sneaky and won't make a big move." Just like this time, there was only one person who came, and he followed me until I entered the house, and I never made a move on the street, probably for fear of being bumped into and causing trouble. It can be seen that the people who want to kill me also have scruples and don't want to make a big fuss. In addition, the other party should not be afraid of the Protector Mansion, after all, now that Zhou Gu is in Jiangning, didn't the person who killed me still come? β
"Yes." Lan Niang nodded, "It's not a secret that Zhou Xiaogongzi came to Jiangning, it has spread all over Jiangning County, and everyone knows it, and the person who wants to kill you should naturally know that Zhou Xiaogongzi is in Jiangning." β
"Well, if he really killed me today, wouldn't he be afraid of Zhou Gu chasing me? Will the Protectorate give up? Therefore, it can only be said that the other party is not afraid of the Protector Mansion. Su Rong analyzed.
Lan Niang admittedly felt that Su Rong's analysis was right, "It's true." β
