Pei Jinting turned around Gu Qingyuan, and heard the sound of swords in his ears, which was extremely harsh in the silent night.
"Yuanyuan. You are here. Don't move."
He supported Gu Qingyuan, rubbed her wrist, and settled her down, "It seems that someone can't wait any longer. Yuanyuan, please watch and I will lead you to catch the thief."
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtains of the carriage shook, and many figures holding swords appeared in the dark night, standing outside the carriage like tombstones rising from the ground.
The assassin jumped up and slashed at the carriage with a knife, but the guards accompanying him outside immediately stepped forward to stop him.
With a single stroke of the knife, his clothes and flesh were torn apart, accompanied by screams.
Gu Qingyuan has seen this kind of scene several times, and this time it was obviously more dangerous.
In the darkness, Gu Qingyuan could hear her breathing and heartbeat getting heavier and heavier.
"Who are these people?" Gu Qingyuan asked in a hoarse voice. She originally wanted to stay away from him, but now she quietly grabbed his sleeve.
Many people came outside, and many people fell down. Pei Jinting still sat calmly in the car, seemingly not paying attention to the predicament in front of him.
She suddenly remembered that King Qin was forcing her to leave Pei Jinting step by step. Now that she thought about it, she felt jealous of Pei Jinting.
No matter how much Pei Jinting behaved or how much trouble he caused, the emperor was always there to deal with the aftermath.
Others were struggling and embarrassed, just hoping that the emperor would look at him, but it seemed insignificant to him.
His presence makes everyone else look despicable and ridiculous.
There was darkness all around, and the breeze beat against the carriage, accompanied by the sound of swords being nailed to the walls of the carriage from time to time.
Gu Qingyuan slowed down her heartbeat and pulled Pei Jinting with her hand.
"What kind of thief? How to catch him?"
Pei Jinting held her waist and rubbed her waist with his fingers.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Gu Qingyuan reached out her hand and twisted his waist.
"There must be fish hanging under the bait." He went to Rencheng and found out the old affairs of the old prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with Gu Qingyuan, people would come to his door no matter what.
If his guess is correct, it is not just the old Prime Minister Ming who wants to attack him this time.
As long as you do it, you won't be able to find any clues.
In recent years, everything seems to be calm and peaceful, but there are always people in the world who want to get more and more step by step.
Pei Jinting has endless fame, many people admire him, and there are also many people who hate him.
He had encountered so many assassinations in the past, but he just didn't care about them.
Those clumsy tricks weren't enough to annoy him.
But now Gu Qingyuan is also involved.
Then we can only make those who come suffer.
Gu Qingyuan held her breath and watched the fighting outside, holding back without moving. The turbulent emotions in her body calmed down a bit in such a fierce battle.
"Stay inside. Don't be cold. If you hear any noise, don't bother and don't be afraid."
Gu Qingyuan looked at him with her eyes.
He said this every time, telling her not to worry about anything and not to be afraid.
It seems that everything can be solved with him.
His figure is slender and tall. Sitting there, blocking everything outside, can indeed give people an infinite sense of security.
His hand pressed on her back, as if to comfort her.
Then he picked up the long sword and jumped out of the car.
Torches have been lit outside.
When He Zheng saw him coming down, he immediately stepped forward and cupped his fists, saying,
"Captain, everyone was captured. Six died and the rest were alive."
The governor...the commander of the five cities in the capital...the pupils of the person being held down on the ground dilated, and he suddenly wanted to guess who this person was.
Pei Jinting smiled.
Even in Shandong, thousands of miles away from Shangjing, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division has a really great reputation.
He became famous at a young age and was a promiscuous person. No matter what he did wrong in his life, the emperor was able to tolerate it.
It turns out that the person to be killed today is actually him.
The people kneeling on the ground, leaning against their heads, resented those people for hiding the truth, but were not surprised.
Only such a person is worthy of mobilizing these killers to assassinate a person.
Pei Jinting glanced at the captured people on the ground, as if looking at rag bags, and said indifferently,
"Take them all away for questioning."
Just when the guards wanted to drag the person away, the person on the ground suddenly stood up and broke free from the restraints. A sharp thin blade slipped out of his sleeve and struck behind Pei Jinting.
Pei Jinting's posture was too leisurely and lazy, even if he was holding a long sword, he looked like a flower stand.
The attacker expected that Pei Jinting would have no time to react. As long as he could restrain the prodigal, he could escape from Rencheng.
But just as he was violently rising, Pei Jinting, as if there were eyes behind his back, dodged to avoid the thin blade, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted his joints hard.
As if the bones were broken, the thin blade in his hand fell to the ground, and his knees received a heavy blow, and he fell to his knees.
Pei Jinting curled his lips, moved his wrist, bent down and casually picked up the thin blade from the ground, smiled at the man, and heard a "pop" sound, and the thin blade pierced his thigh.
"It's pretty good. He was able to break free and attack me under the restraints of two people. Since it's so powerful, I want to waste my legs to see if I can be even more powerful."
He released the hand holding the thin blade, looked down from a high position, then pulled out the thin blade without caring and stabbed the man's other thigh.
"Tell me. Who asked you to come? King Qin? Prince? Or..."
He paused, and under the man's frightened face, he said slowly, "Old Prime Minister Ming?"
His piercing gaze was directed towards that person, and there was also a sword glowing with cold light.
The tip of the sword was pressed against the forehead of the bleeding man on the ground, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
He smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves gracefully, his eyes showing some interest.
"What did that old guy Ming Zhengfeng say before he asked you to take action?"
The man kneeling on the ground finally regained his breath and was panting rapidly. He looked tremblingly at the sword between his eyebrows. Hearing these words, he was stunned for a moment.
Eyes widened, "You...are you..."
He knew all the plans and was just waiting for them to fall into their trap. He had never been seen going out without his entourage in the past few days.
Pei Jinting's voice was calm, as if he didn't care about his life at all.
"Originally I wanted you to die quickly, but since you want to die quickly, I'll let you die."
His eyes were like ice blades,
"Besides that old guy Ming Zhengfeng, who else entrusted you? The prince? Or the King of Qin?"
Gu Qingyuan sat in the car and waited for a long time. Except for a few wails, there was no other sound.
She lifted up the car curtain and looked out, just in time to see the man kneeling on the ground leaning to the ground.
Pei Jinting threw the long sword in his hand to He Zheng standing aside.
Gu Qingyuan swallowed, looked at the man standing under the night, and wiped her hands gracefully.
When he raised his eyes and met Gu Qingyuan's eyes, he casually threw away the handkerchief and smiled at Gu Qingyuan.
The shining torch cast a heavy shadow on his tall nose, making him dazzlingly handsome.
