Chapter 173 Insight into the assassin's intentions
Shangguan Yanran choked, "Anyway, I bet that Xie Jingrun must have ideas about you."
"Don't scare me." Rong Qingqing felt chill in her heart.
Shangguan Yanran was amused by her reaction, "Is it that scary to be attracted to by Xie Jingrun? Didn't you say that he is not bad either, he is young and promising, and looks good."
Rong Qingqing was so blocked by her that she couldn't speak, so she had to change the topic: "Didn't you say you're hungry? You still have so much to talk. Let's go and have a meal."
Shangguan Yanran did not expose her and went downstairs with her.
But as soon as the two of them walked to the stairs, they heard a sound of fighting.
Looking at the sound, she saw Xie Jingrun fighting with a man in black in the corridor on the second floor.
The sound of sword blades fighting is endless.
The guests in the restaurant were so scared that they fled out. For a moment, the restaurant was in chaos.
The two were startled by the scene.
"What's going on?" Shangguan Yanran exclaimed.
"It's an assassin." After Rong Qingqing said, her face tightened. Needless to say, the assassin must have come to assassinate Emperor Zhaojing.
When she thought of Emperor Zhaojing in the private room, she was shocked. Emperor Zhaojing should be fine, right?
At this moment, Xie Jingrun stabbed the assassin's shoulder with a knife. The sharp tip directly penetrated his shoulder blade, but the assassin's martial arts were also real. He was so seriously injured that he still did not fall down. Instead, he took a few steps back and escaped Xie Jingrun's killer move.
Changlin rushed up with a group of Jinyiwei, each holding bows and arrows, aiming at the assassin.
"Catch it alive!" Xie Jingrun, holding the blood-stained embroidered spring sword, stared at the assassin, with a solemn and murderous look in his eyebrows and commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes." Changlin responded and gestured to the Jinyiwei.
The Jinyiwei quickly dispersed and surrounded the assassin on the corridor.
Seeing this, the assassin knew that he would be unable to defeat Xie Jingrun. In addition to the second and first floors, he was surrounded by Jinyiwei. Now that he wanted to leave safely under heavy blockade, he could only go to the third floor.
Thinking of this, the assassin covered his injured shoulder and immediately turned around and ran towards the third floor.
Rong Qingqing, who was standing at the entrance of the stairs, understood the assassin's intentions and was shocked. She quickly took Shangguan Yanran's hand and ran back to the third floor.
The staircase is facing the direction of the assassin. If the two of them go downstairs, they will inevitably encounter the assassin.
Now there are all Jinyiwei below the second floor. The assassin has been forced to jump over the wall. It is hard to guarantee that he will not hold them hostage or kill them directly, so she can only choose to run upstairs. There are many houses upstairs, and she and Yanran can hide in the house. When the assassin finds them, Xie Jingrun and the others should have arrived too.
The assassin did not expect someone at the stairs. When he saw two women running upstairs, he was stunned, but he did not stop and rushed to the third floor.
Xie Jingrun also saw Rong Qingqing. When he saw that the assassin had rushed to the third floor, he frowned and said with a very fast speed: "Tell me the order to surround Wangchun Tower, and a fly is not allowed to be released."
"Yes." Changlin Deling quickly transferred a wave of men to the outside of the restaurant, ready to prevent the assassin from escaping from the third floor.
After Xie Jingrun gave the order, after confirming that Emperor Zhaojing in the private room had nothing to do, he ordered a few Jinyiwei to protect him, and then he went up to the third floor with the embroidered spring sword.
Besides, when Rong Qingqing pulled Shangguan Yanran to the third floor, the assassin had already chased after him and stopped the two of them.
Looking at the murderous intent in the assassin's eyes, Rong Qingqing's heart was sank. Their speed was still not fast enough.
