Chapter 14 Assassination
The spring breeze is pleasant, and today's sky is also excellent.
The carriage slowly returned to the city and was peaceful along the way. When they approached the city gate, they were stopped.
Unlike the routine inspections in the past, there are many imperial guards everywhere at the city gate this time.
"Who is in the car?" the young guard who was blocking the carriage.
Yan Su stepped forward: "This is the carriage of the lady of the Duke of Anguo."
"Duke Anguo Mansion? Why don't you let it go quickly!" A guard leader who knew Yan Su hurried over and asked the people under him to let it go.
Yan Su asked in confusion: "Mr. Li, I wonder what happened in the city?"
The guard leader looked around and whispered a few words to him.
Yan Su changed his face when he heard this: "Okay, thank you for giving me some advice."
"Manager Yan is polite."
The carriage was released and slowly drove into the city gate.
The originally lively main street was sparsely populated, and many imperial guards were patrolling.
Cheng Xin lifted a corner of the curtain and asked, "Manager Yan, what's going on?"
Manager Yan rode his horse to the window and lowered his voice: "A noble man was assassinated in the teahouse in front, and the assassin is still running away. Now the whole city is martial law, so it is to arrest the assassin."
So exciting?
Cheng Xin raised his eyebrows: "Can you know the identity of that noble man?"
"This guard is not clear. However, Yan thought that if he could alarm the patrol of the Imperial Guard, his identity would definitely not be simple."
Cheng Xin deeply believed that in this capital with many high-ranking officials, such a mobilization of troops would have to join the royal family.
"Since the streets are not safe now, we'll go home now."
"Yes." Manager Yan breathed a sigh of relief and told the carriage to go faster. He was afraid that the lady would join in the fun on a whim.
"Ahh, this plot must be related to the male protagonist!" Xiaoshu suddenly shouted.
"The plot has been updated?"
"No."
"How do you know?"
Xiao Shu said: "No one knows the plot better than me. "The Rebirth of the Legitimate Daughter: Step by Step" is a romance novel, and most of the plots are for the male and female protagonists. The heroine is now in the village, so the current assassination activities are very likely to be related to the male protagonist's plot. The male protagonist is either assassinated or assassinated."
"Do you still want to say that the male protagonist is in danger, the female protagonist is beautiful, and the two meet for the first time in distress?"
"Yes, yes, by chance, the heroine saved the hero, bandage him, stop bleeding, apply medicine... A manipulation is as fierce as a tiger."
"Then the heroine left in a hurry, and the hero must say, 'Oh, woman, you caught my attention.'"
"Yes, yes. My little guy, you have a little understanding with me now."
Cheng Xin was amused and crying: "Xiaoshu, what are you thinking? Wen Yunxian is now in Zhuangzi, 108,000 miles away from here. The man mainly ran away due to injury and his blood will run dry when he reaches it."
"What if it's a minor injury?"
"Then Wen Yunxian should say, 'If you take a step later, the wound should heal'."
"My little Guaiguai, you are not the author, how do you know that the author will not write like this? Whether it is a hero saving a beauty or a beauty saving a hero, it is the basic operation of the male and female protagonists falling in love at first sight. I have seen it a lot in the bookstore system."
Cheng Xin nodded, this is the truth.
When she was playing supporting roles, she had encountered such scenes several times, especially the circles that fell from the sky after being saved by the male protagonist, and she could always spit her.
"Miss, what are you laughing at?" Qiao Huan couldn't help but ask.
Just now, the lady raised her eyebrows and almost laughed out loud for a moment.
"Me, am I laughing?" Cheng Xin rubbed his face, and he was too involved in chatting with the system.
Qiao Hua nodded: "Fortunately, I was not seen by the guards just now, otherwise I would have thought the lady was so happy to hear the assassination."
"Qiao Hun! What are you talking nonsense?" Wenqi looked at her with a blame: "This is the street, with many people. If this is heard by that noble man, it will cause trouble for the lady."
"Ah!" Qiao Huan covered her mouth: "Miss, I'm talking nonsense, please punish me."
Although Cheng Xin hopes that these maids can live freely and happily, Jing Wenqi has to pay attention to the occasion and the right attitude when reminded him.
"You go and receive the punishment after you return home. Remember in the courtyard of the mansion, no matter how you say it, it's just a chat, good or bad, but when you go out, you need to always remember that you don't have any trouble coming from your mouth."
"Yes, Miss. We remember." Wenqi and others responded solemnly.
Hazelnut whispered: "Would you still eat peach blossom crispy?"
"It's time, you still want to eat it." Qiao Huan patted Hazelnut on the head.
"It was the lady who asked me to remind her just now."
Wenqi said: "I remember the pastry shop is on this street. Miss, why not stop at the door of the shop, and I will go back with Hazelnuts."
Hazelnut looked at her with a gaze, and Cheng Xin nodded: "Okay, but you two must be careful."
The carriage stopped on the side. As soon as Wenqi and Hazelnut went there, a loud bang came from above the carriage.
With a 'bang', something hit the roof of the car.
"Ah!" Qiao Huan screamed in fear.
The carriage swayed violently, and Cheng Xin and the two in the car were all shocked.
"Dark thief, don't run away!" The shouts of the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards came from the second floor of the tavern next to him.
There were a few more "bang" sounds, Yu Bo screamed and was kicked off the carriage, and then the carriage galloped quickly.
"Miss!" Yan Su shouted from behind: "Come on, hurry up and chase!"
"Miss!" Wenqi and Hazelnut shouted farther and farther away.
There was a hurry to drink from the front, and the carriage rushed around the street.
Mei Ran rushed out and fought with the thief.
"Miss, ah, Miss, get up quickly." Qiao Huan tried hard to stabilize her body and wanted to come over to help Cheng Xin.
Cheng Xin pulled her over: "Catch the car window."
The master and servant looked at each other, with horror in their eyes.
Qiao Huan was really frightened.
Cheng Xin was worried that the heroes who had just said to save the beauty, and fell in love at first sight.
I'm afraid that this plot will be thrown into by her, right?
Through the shaking curtains, she saw that the man who was fighting with Mei Ran was a man in a dormitory dress, with a strong figure and agile hands and feet.
But from her perspective, I couldn't see what the person's face looked like.
Is this the assassin?
The sound of close soldiers came again and again. The man didn't expect that the maid in front of him was so capable and did not want to bother him. He immediately cut off the reins and jumped onto the horse.
"Driving!" The man raised his whip and rode his horse away.
boom!
With a loud bang, the carriage stopped suddenly and the whole thing was tilted down.
Cheng Xin and Qiao Hua both fell out of the carriage.
"Miss, are you okay?" Mei Ran rushed over and helped Cheng Xin up.
Cheng Xin shook his head and rubbed his elbow that hit the ground: "It's okay, it's okay."
Qiao Huan got up from the ground, suddenly fell to the ground again, screaming.
Mei Ran stepped forward to check and said, "Miss, she twisted her feet."
"Sit next to you first, and I'll take you to see the doctor later." Cheng Xin helped Mei Ran and helped Qiao Huan sit on the side of the road.
Chapter completed!
