Chapter 18: The Assassin
"I'm sorry for the trouble. ”
was speechless all the way, and after getting off the city, Jiang Ying spoke.
Chen Mingye waved his hand: "I came by myself, why should you apologize." ”
"If it weren't for my words, Gu Jian wouldn't embarrass you, and you wouldn't have exposed your background because of this. Jiang Ying looked at him and said, "I'm sincerely sorry, why don't I invite you and your brother to Wangjiang Tower for a table." ”
"We're here to defect, so there's no reason to give us a treat. Chen Mingye smiled playfully, "Ying'er Mo doesn't want to stay with me for a while?"
Jiang Ying glanced at him: "You are quite bold, you haven't suffered enough today?"
Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders and smiled easily.
The two went all the way back to Jiang's Mansion, and when Chen Mingye asked, he found out that Cai Ling'er had gone out early in the morning, and not long after he went out.
"This kid," Chen Mingye smiled at Jiang Ying, "he's always been wild, don't worry about him." ”
Jiang Ying glanced at him: "I don't care, but you look very worried." ”
Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders: "He's so stupid, he still doesn't feel at ease after all." ”
As soon as Chen Mingye's words fell, a voice as crisp as a yellow oriole sounded in time.
"Bearded, who do you say is stupid?"
Cai Ling'er wore a long gown and walked in from the door in a graceful manner.
Jiang Ying glanced at her and smiled inexplicably.
Cai Ling'er looked at Jiang Ying and asked, "Sister Ying, do you think the kid is ridiculous?"
"The little boy is heroic and straightforward, teaching people to fall in love, why is it ridiculous?" Jiang Ying actually laughed faintly.
Chen Mingye's gaze suddenly became interesting.
"Sister Ying praised, the kid has no strengths, and he has to learn more from Sister Ying. Cai Ling'er blinked.
Chen Mingye remembered the scene where she was raised by her petite hands, and couldn't help but have a headache.
"It's okay," Jiang Ying said softly with her eyes, "If you are willing to come to my side as a personal guard, I can teach you well." ”
"Also?" Cai Ling'er, who was delicate, keenly grasped the key words in Jiang Ying's words, and glanced suspiciously at Chen Mingye, who was standing aside, "Didn't I, the eldest brother who is not a weapon, agree to be Sister Ying's personal guard?"
"Forget it, something happened suddenly today, but it can be regarded as a correct name," Jiang Ying nodded.
Chen Mingye rubbed his brows, and said helplessly: "That, two, why don't we go into the house and talk while eating, why do you stand here?"
"It's my rudeness, my father is not here today, and I hope you don't be surprised by the inconsiderate hospitality. Jiang Ying said and made a gesture of please.
Cai Ling'er took the lead, glanced at Chen Mingye fiercely, and walked into the inner hall first.
Chen Mingye smiled, turned back to Jiang Ying and said, "Xiao Ying'er don't have to be polite, although I am the first time I have met, I am very kind to Uncle Jiang, you don't have to treat me as a distinguished guest, just be a brother who can't be a weapon." ”
Jiang Ying glanced at him: "Your younger brother is very powerful, I'm afraid I don't have the blessing of being your sister." ”
Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders, and sure enough, it was still a little boy who was more popular with this beauty.
The three of them had lunch and didn't say much. Cai Ling'er still went to play casually by herself, Chen Mingye wanted to ask two sentences out of kindness, but it turned out that Cai Ling'er's eyes were round and vicious, and she shut up in amusement.
Jiang Ying's task in the afternoon was to inspect a boundary in the suburbs, and Chen Mingye wanted to take a look at it or followed.
After all, he was not familiar with the place of life when he first came to Anshun City, and he would have to stay in southern Xinjiang for a long time in the future, so it was not bad to take this opportunity to follow Jiang Ying to recognize the way.
Two people and two horses went out of the city one after the other, Jiang Ying was dressed in a military suit, heroic posture, and there was quite a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and she looked like a person in the military at a glance.
Chen Mingye is still dressed in a robe, but the decorations on his face have been gone, and he is wearing his true face at this moment.
He was originally a famous gentleman in Kyoto, the number one romantic young marshal in Beizhou, who practiced martial arts and practiced martial arts, and had his own graceful style. However, Jiang Ying didn't bother to look at him at all, and really regarded him as a personal guard.
"Xiao Ying'er, where is your original guard?" Chen Mingye clamped the horse's belly between his legs and caught up with Jiang Ying in front.
"I don't have a personal guard. Jiang Ying didn't seem to care about his frivolous appearance at all, just holding the reins and concentrating on the road.
Chen Mingye smiled: "In this way, I have become Ying'er's personal guard?"
"In order to deal with Gu Jian's temporary words, you don't have to take it seriously, you can go wherever you want. Jiang Ying said lightly.
"When a man makes a promise, he is naturally responsible to the end. Chen Mingye continued to smile, "Especially when the object of the promise is a beauty." ”
Jiang Ying glanced at him coldly, and slammed the whip: "Drive!"
Chen Mingye looked at her graceful and upright figure, and muttered: "It's good-looking, it's just that the temper is stronger, shouldn't this iceberg snow lotus be elegant and fragrant?"
The duo's destination was a camp on the outskirts of the city, stationed on the nearby Zisang Mountain, about ten miles from the city.
The two of them spent most of the time burning incense, galloping all the way up the mountain road, and the camp was already in sight.
Chen Mingye made fun of Jiang Ying all the way, but Jiang Ying didn't bother to deal with him at all.
"Ying'er, do you have any special snacks to introduce in the southern border of your southern territory?" Chen Mingye chatted with each other.
"There are many styles in the east of the city, so you can take Xiaoling to see it one day. Jiang Ying replied casually.
"You care about my brother. The corners of Chen Mingye's mouth hooked, and he was about to continue talking, but his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Be careful!"
And at the moment when Chen Mingye exclaimed, a triprope suddenly rose from the ground, tripping the two horses to the ground.
The moment the stumbling rope was raised, Jiang Ying had already jumped up from the horse, and the person had already pulled out the long sword inserted in the scabbard in the air.
Chen Mingye's reaction was not slow at all, and he also jumped high while reminding Jiang Ying, but he still didn't have a sword on his body for the time being, so he had to look around cautiously.
The two of them were in the open, and they didn't know where the sneak attack came from, so they had to form a defensive posture back to back.
"This assassination should be aimed at me," Chen Mingye observed the surroundings and said in a low voice, "If you are defeated, I will drag them for you, even if you run, their goal is me, and they should not chase you." ”
Jiang Ying didn't say a word, just stood with her sword in her hand, her eyebrows frowning slightly, as if she was worried.
"I'm not kidding, do you hear me?" Chen Mingye took the time to glance at her, but still didn't get an answer.
The two horses fell to the ground so hard that there seemed to be barbs on the tripwire, making it difficult for the horses to get up from their legs. In the dense forest, except for the intermittent neighing of horses, there was a deathly silence in the air.
"It's coming. Suddenly, Jiang Yingzhu's lips opened slightly, and she gently spit out two words.
At the same time, a strong wind whistled and shot at her.
Chen Mingye's pupils shrank, and the target of this assassination turned out to be Jiang Ying.
