Chapter 171: Assassination
Jiang Chao saw the noisy two sides in the crowd, and saw a young man snatching dry food from an old woman's hand.
There were several old and weak people around who fell to the ground, and there were still injuries on their faces, and it seemed that they should have been beaten by this young man.
Among the refugees, almost none have been accommodated. This young refugee was obviously mixed in. Then, take the opportunity to snatch other people's dry food.
Jiang Chao gave these refugees these dry food to eat on the road. For a few days, they couldn't go hungry to Anning County.
Seeing the young man who grabbed the dry food but was blocked by other refugees, Jiang Chao's eyes swelled with anger.
It's really damn that a good young and strong laborer doesn't know how to support himself and rob the old and weak women and children.
He lunged over and kicked him to the ground with a single kick.
When he wanted to go up and make up for it again, suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: "The official has beaten someone and killed someone...... Everybody run......"
There was more than one person who spoke, and the sound of this voice immediately caused chaos in the crowd, and those refugees who had not yet understood the truth immediately fled in all directions in a panic.
Nearly 10,000 refugees suddenly made a mess. Fortunately, most of the chaos is old and weak, and it doesn't cause much harm to the people around them.
If there were most of the young and strong, it would cause a stampede, and dozens or hundreds of people could die.
Jiang Chao knew that someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and a murderous intent instantly surged in his eyes, and he searched through the crowd.
And the young man who had just grabbed something didn't know where to run for a long time.
Looking at the crowd fleeing around him, Jiang Chao didn't know how to quiet these people for a while.
At this moment, in the direction of the right, two people with daggers in their hands stabbed at Jiang Chao.
And Jiang Chao didn't notice this, coupled with the chaos of the crowd, he didn't find anyone stabbing him for a while.
Murong Zhiqing, who was beside him, happened to see the dagger that stabbed him. She suddenly screamed, and her body instinctively blocked it.
Jiang Chao was also awakened by her scream, and quickly turned his head, but at this time, the two people had already come behind him, and the dagger also stabbed over.
However, the dagger allowed Murong Zhiqing to block it with her body. Blood splattered in front of Murong Zhiqing. He was being stabbed by one of the daggers.
The other dagger was about to stab her again to block Jiang Chao's body, and Jiang Chao had already kicked out.
In the blink of an eye, the young assassin let Jiang Chao kick him out, directly causing the angry Jiang Chao to kick him to death.
Seeing that Murong Zhiqing was injured, Jiang Chao's anger reached the extreme, and he also used all his strength to kick out.
The remaining assassin wanted to pull out the dagger that had stabbed Murong Zhiqing's chest, but Jiang Chao immediately grabbed the dagger. Another kick kicked the opponent to death on the spot.
He clenched the dagger and held Murong Zhiqing in his arms, his eyes full of anxiety.
Fortunately, the dagger was not pulled out, otherwise, Murong Zhiqing would have died. This knife really hit the chest, and it is estimated that it is very close to the heart.
Judging from the depth of the dagger's penetration, I am afraid that it has already pierced the heart. Thinking that Murong Zhiqing might die in order to save herself, Jiang Chao's heart was full of self-blame.
He was still too careless, knowing that some of these refugees had problems, but he was still so careless.
If it weren't for Murong Zhiqing sacrificing his life to save him just now, he might capsize in the gutter.
"Cousin, how are you?! Don't scare me! Song Ningxue saw Murong Zhiqing's appearance, her face turned white in an instant, and she burst into tears, holding Murong Zhiqing's hand.
"I ...... It's okay...... I...... Sir, are you alright......" Murong Zhiqing looked at Jiang Chao weakly, at this time, she was still worried about Jiang Chao's safety.
"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, don't talk yet, I'll take you to treat your injuries immediately!" Jiang Chao picked up Murong Zhiqing and hurriedly ran towards the city.
He rushed headlong into the inn at the gate of the city. I asked the shopkeeper directly for an upper room. Ye Qingying and Song Ningxue hurriedly followed.
Outside the city, at the moment of the assassination, the Zhoufu army guarding the side immediately surrounded the refugees, and soon, all the young men who were hiding among them were arrested.
At the same time, after further investigation, as long as the refugees who have not been registered, all have been arrested.
When such a big thing happened, they were also very scared, if Jiang Chao had a good one, they didn't know how Murong Palace would kill them.
Moreover, the injured Murong Zhiqing is the only daughter of Murong Palace.
The interrogation also began, and soon, the leading generals interrogated the mastermind behind the scenes, the wolf!
This is one of several bandits closer to Anning County. The leader of the bandits of Longtou Mountain.
And he is one of the several bandit dens under Zheng An's seat. They don't belong to the Five Bandit Nest of Anning, but their strength is even above the Five Bandits' Nest.
He is one of the three strongest bandits subdued by Zheng An. The number of bandits in the cottage was almost 5,000.
Needless to say, his assassination must have something to do with Zheng An.
On the other side, Jiang Chao entered the room and put Murong Zhiqing, who was almost unconscious, on the bed. He just wanted to grab the clothes in front of Murong Zhiqing.
Murong Zhiqing hurriedly reached out and pressed Jiang Chao's hand, and said with a strange look in her eyes: "Jiang Chao, if you ...... I'm dead...... Will you remember me?! ”
Her voice was very weak. looked at Jiang Chao's gaze, with a hint of stubbornness, as if Jiang Chao didn't answer her, she wouldn't let Jiang Chao heal his injuries.
Jiang Chao saw this stubborn woman, at this time, she was still so axial, and nodded helplessly: "Yes!" I'm not going to let you die, though...... Believe me! ”
When Murong Zhiqing heard this, a smile appeared on her pale face. She looked at Jiang Chao and said softly:
"It starts with seeing you...... I suspect that you may be Jiang Chao...... Merely! I think Ning Xue may not lie to me......"
"You know what...... After hearing about your deeds in Anning County...... I'm in love with you...... Don't you think...... I'm shameless?! ”
"In front of the small lake in the backyard...... The scene of the poem with you...... I still remember ...... Then...... I'm really happy...... At that time...... I just felt ...... You should be the one I've been thinking about! ”
"I ...... I don't know why I want to ...... with you Angry...... It's just that...... Thinking you might...... Go to the Green House...... I'll just ......"
"Later...... Got it...... You are Jiang Chao...... I'm so happy...... Because, I finally ...... See you! It's just that...... I feel so far away from you......"
"Blocking knives for you...... I don't regret it...... I only hope that you ...... Can you remember me...... Even if...... Only in your heart...... Make some memories! That's good! ”
Murong Zhiqing didn't give Jiang Chao a chance to speak, she spoke by herself, tears flowed down her eyes unconsciously, and when it came to the depths of her love, she smiled sadly.
