Speaking of Heng'er, Tao Yao was also worried.

But after knowing the emperor's purpose, she was somewhat relieved.

The emperor used Heng'er as bait to lure Rong Niang out, but there would be no danger to her life.

It's just that such a young child was hung on the city gate like this, and when the time came, I am afraid that there will be a psychological shadow.

Thinking of this, she touched Lu Hao's head and said softly, "Go back to your ninth uncle and think of a way." ”

"Then let's go back." Lu Hao took her hand and said.

"Okay." Tao Yao nodded and said goodbye to everyone in the Tao family.

Sitting in the carriage on the return trip, Tao Yao was preoccupied.

She didn't want to embarrass Lu Jiuyuan, but Heng'er, she couldn't do it, so she sat idly by.

For a moment, she was a little conflicted.

"Uncle Nine should go back to the house at this time, right?" Lu Hao looked out the window frequently.

"I don't know." Tao Yao sighed.

"Aunt Jiu, are you very embarrassed? Then I saw Uncle Nine later, and I came to talk to Uncle Nine. Lu Hao said.

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by his keenness, but then smiled and said: "It's not embarrassing, it's just asking your ninth uncle to help, I'm afraid it's useless." ”

"Uncle Nine is an important minister next to the emperor, if he opens his mouth to intercede for the little prince, it should be of some use." Lu Hao frowned.

Tao Yao sighed in his heart.

The problem is that the emperor's purpose is to use Heng'er to find out Rong Niang.

"Wait and ask, but if your ninth uncle can't do it, don't embarrass him."

"Okay." Lu Hao lowered his head, very frustrated.

Tao Yao touched his head, a little helpless.

Just as the carriage was about to arrive at the Lu Guogong Mansion, suddenly there was a shout outside, "If you don't want to die, get out!" ”

Tao Yao was startled, and was about to lift the curtain, but heard Xi'er say urgently outside: "Miss, don't come out, there are assassins!" ”

Before Tao Yao could react, he heard a few screams, as well as the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, followed by a figure that seemed to land on the wheel.

She breathed tightly, secretly held the dagger she was carrying, and grabbed Lu Hao.

"Aunt Jiu, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Lu Hao suddenly bent over and pulled out a sharp dagger from his boot.

Tao Yao didn't have time to say anything, but saw someone lift the curtain.

An assassin in black, bent over, was about to enter.

At the end of the shot, a cold sword stabbed out diagonally, blocking the assassin's movements.

The assassin was taken aback, apparently unexpectedly, there was also the Dark Guard.

He took a quick step back to avoid the Dark Guard's attack.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

A series of weapons were handed over to each other.

Taking advantage of the fact that the assassin was pinned, Xi'er quickly crawled in, "Miss, don't be afraid, it's Mo Die." ”

Tao Yao also thought that it was Mo Die, but she didn't expect that Mo Die had been secretly protecting herself, she breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the inseparable fight between the two outside, and became a little worried.

Looking at the figure of the masked assassin, it should be a woman, but her martial arts skills are obviously not lower than Mo Die.

"Miss, why don't we go first?" Xi'er asked.

Tao Yao hesitated.

Although she knew that the assassins were coming for her, she couldn't do it just by leaving Ink Butterfly like this.

Just as he was hesitating, suddenly the assassin used a tricky sword move and stabbed Ink Butterfly in the heart.

In order to avoid this killing move, Mo Die raised his sword to block, but the blade of the sword was instantly broken by the opponent's internal force, Mo Die took a few steps back, and was scratched by the opponent's arm with a sword.

Bright red blood, splattered out.

Tao Yao and a few people screamed in surprise.

Before Ink could react, the assassin flew into the carriage again.

Xi'er didn't think about it, so she rushed forward and blocked in front of Tao Yao.

The Assassin ran out of patience this time, and slashed with his sword.

Tao Yao was startled and hurriedly spoke, "Stop!" Don't you just want to arrest me, let them go, and I'll go with you! ”

When the assassin heard this, he really put away his sword, the corners of his mouth under the face towel seemed to be hooked, pushed away Xi'er and Lu Hao, and as soon as he reached out, he took Tao Yao's clothes and flew onto the roof.

"Miss—"

"Aunt Nine—"

Xi'er and Lu Hao shouted sharply.

Tao Yao only heard two sentences, and the rest was only the sound of hunting, and the assassin took her, a few jumps, and quickly disappeared.

Mo Die covered her injured arm, and was about to chase after her, but at this moment, a letter, like a sharp arrow, shot at her.

She was startled and ducked sideways.

"Tuk!"

The letter was nailed directly to the ground and three inches into the ground.

Seeing this, Mo Die's heart was horrified.

When she fought with the assassin, she realized that the opponent's internal strength was unfathomable, and she was afraid that she could match the national prince.

Now after seeing this letter, which can sink three inches into the ground, it corroborates her speculation.

She suppressed the surprise in her heart, quickly took out the letter, and read it quickly.

"Mo Die, why don't you chase it?" Xi'er came back to her senses and saw her there, and she was immediately anxious.

Lu Hao also looked at her with blank eyes.

Mo Die looked apologetic and ashamed, "I can't catch up with that assassin." After speaking, seeing the worried looks on the two of them, he said with relief, "But you don't have to worry too much, Madame will be fine for the time being." ”

"What?" Xi'er and Lu Hao both looked at her puzzled.

……

Lu Jiuyuan went to the military camp today and came back in the evening.

As soon as I came back, I saw Lu Hao, Xi'er, and Mo Die, waiting anxiously by the door of the mansion.

Seeing him come back, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward, Lu Hao's eyes were swollen from crying, "Uncle Jiu, why did you come back?" ”

"What's going on?" Lu Jiuyuan stretched out his hand to support him, his eyes swept over the injured Mo Die, and asked in a deep voice.

"Aunt Nine has been kidnapped...... Lu Hao cried.

Mo Die has knelt down on one knee, "My subordinates have been derelict in their duties, they have failed to protect their wife, and they have asked the government to punish them." ”

Lu Jiuyuan's heart was shocked, and he asked in a cold voice, "When did it happen?" ”

"Just now." Xi'er replied first, "Today, Madame went back to Taofu, and on the way back, an assassin suddenly came out, injured Mo Die, and captured Madame. ”

"This is a letter left by the Assassins, please read it." Mo Die raised her hands and presented the letter to him.

Lu Jiuyuan accepted the letter with a frosty face.

After a moment, he rubbed the letter in his hand, and his eyebrows were already stained with murderous intent.

"Uncle Nine, what's wrong, what did the letter say?" Lu Hao asked urgently.

He just wanted to read the letter, but Mo Die wouldn't let him, and he didn't know what the letter said.

"It's okay, you go back and rest first." After a while, Lu Jiuyuan said lightly, but the back of the hand holding the letter was bulging.

Xi'er and Lu Hao didn't know why, and when they saw him so calm, they were a little puzzled, "But Mrs. (Aunt Jiu), what should I do?" ”

Mo Die, who had read the letter, clenched her fists.

Now the prince is afraid that he will tear the assassin's heart, but the lady can only throw a mouse bogey in the hands of the assassin.

Thinking about it, she stopped Xi'er and Lu Hao, who wanted to ask again, and said softly: "Guogong has his own decision, let's go first." ”
