Qiu Huaixin hissed in pain and raised his hand to touch his neck. His fingertips were filled with bright red blood. Fortunately, the knife was missed by the hidden weapon of the Forbidden Dragon Guard. Otherwise, even if he was wearing armor, Qiu Huaixin would be cut off with the knife from behind.
If you have bad faith, your head will be in a different place.
"It's okay, it's just a flesh wound." It hurt, but Qiu Huaixin also knew that he couldn't care about the injury at this time. There was a traitor among his father's soldiers, and he wanted to kill himself. This was a big deal.
Shi Song took a closer look at the wound on Qiu Huaixin's neck. The skin and flesh were cut by the knife edge, and a lot of blood flowed. Fortunately, it was nothing serious.
"Thank you Miss Zhan for taking the initiative." Shi Song solemnly bowed to Zhan Feiyu. Because he trusted the master's personal soldiers so much, Shi Song was not prepared at that time.
When he thought that his young master was almost assassinated under his protection, Shi Song's face became extremely solemn, and he clenched the sword tightly in his right hand. At this moment, except for Zhan Feiyu, Shi Song couldn't believe it at all.
"I have hemostatic medicine here." Zhan Feiyu took the medicine bottle from He Nuan's hand and handed it to Qiu Huaixin, then looked at the shining passage, "Go inside and treat the wound. We don't know what's going on outside.
"
Shi Song saw He Sheng and He Nuan guarding the door, and his tense heart relaxed a little. Besides, he and Sheng Xuan were far away from Qiu Mansion, and he didn't know what dangers there were along the way. The young master really needed to stop the bleeding first.
When Qiu Huaixin and Shi Song entered the house, Zhan Feiyu closed the door from the outside, and then looked at the room at No. 6 in front of him, "The plank road was built openly and secretly to Chencang, let's take advantage of it and rob it."
He Sheng and He Nuan showed disapproval on their faces at the same time. Since the old man's people took action before calling out the price, it was clear that they came for the young lady. The box of things was secondary, and the young lady's safety was the most important.
First and foremost.
"Don't worry, I have a way to save my life. We will grab the box with all our strength in a while and put it in room No. 6." Zhan Feiyu smiled with the corner of his mouth raised, and under the firelight, his pretty and fair face appeared.
The cunning calculation.
As soon as Zhan Feiyu finished speaking, Master Qiu's bodyguard leader Yuan Cheng had already captured the traitor, but unfortunately he was caught in a trap and killed himself by biting open the poison sac in his mouth.
"Leader, I'm out of breath." The soldiers who were squatting on the ground checking the corpse had a dark face. They are the most trusted soldiers of the Lord, so they were sent to protect the Third Young Master. Who would have thought that there was actually someone among them?
He was a traitor and even assassinated the Third Young Master.
Yuan Chengleng looked at the traitor with black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and spoke indifferently word by word: "Throw the body into an empty room and dispose of it after it's over!"
He definitely wanted to check, but not at this moment. Since there was a traitor under his command, Yuan Cheng's first priority was to send Qiu Huaixin back to his home safely.
Another subordinate hesitated and said: "Chief, do we still need to send a signal for someone to come and respond?"
Yuan Cheng's soldiers, like the Forbidden Dragon Guards who protect Zhan Feiyu, are half in the light and half in the dark. If something happens, they must notify the people guarding the dark side to come to the rescue, but who dares at this moment?
After taking another look at the corpse being dragged away by his men, Yuan Cheng strode towards Zhan Feiyu, the long sword in his hand still dripping with blood.
He Sheng and He Nuan were instantly on guard. He Sheng took a few steps forward, while He Nuan was still guarding Zhan Feiyu. Even Qiu Huaixin, the private soldiers of the Qiu Mansion, dared to assassinate him, and neither did He Sheng nor He Nuan.
Yuan Cheng came over with peace of mind.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Zhan!" Yuan Cheng stood about half a foot away from Zhan Feiyu and solemnly saluted Zhan Feiyu with clasped fists. Although the person who secretly took action did not show up, Yuan Cheng knew that it must be to protect Zhan Feiyu.
Feiyu's dead man asked, "Can Miss Zhan please accompany my young master back to Qiu Mansion?"
Just as Shi Song didn't trust Yuan Cheng and other soldiers, Yuan Cheng didn't dare to risk Qiu Huaixin's safety now. If there was another traitor, if the weapon was tempered with the poison that seals the throat with blood, the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhan Feiyu glanced downstairs. Under the firelight, the spacious lobby that could accommodate a hundred people was in chaos.
He Shengxuan suffered the heaviest losses, because He Shengxuan's guards almost risked their lives to protect the box, but the others came just because of the box, no matter what their identities were.
Fortunately, the police officers of Qianzhong Prefecture are helping to defend against the enemy. However, looking at this situation, they may not be able to hold on for long. It depends on when the reinforcements from the Third Division can arrive.
"This fire probably won't last long. If you're worried about an ambush along the way, you might as well stay here." Zhan Feiyu said, and the meaning in her words was very clear. She could indeed escort Qiu Huaixin back if nothing happened, but at this moment Zhan Feiyu also wanted to
Taking advantage of the situation to rob someone.
When Yuan Cheng heard this, he didn't force it. Your Excellency was in the government office at the moment. He had probably received the news and rushed over. Even if the fire might not be extinguished for a while, it would be safe as long as it lasted for another quarter of an hour. It would be better to risk a breakout.
Stay safe in Heshengxuan.
"Brother Yuan, I'll stay here." Qiu Huaixin opened the door and walked out. The wound on his neck had been covered with medicine and a cloth. It was Shi Song who tore the hem of his underwear.
Qiu Huaixin did not trust other people, but he had 100% trust in Yuan Cheng. Looking at the soldiers standing not far away, he continued to speak: "This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as I don't come out, there will be no danger."
After a while.
"What is she going to do?" Qiu Huaixin frowned slightly as he stood at the door and looked at Zhan Feiyu who was being escorted away. He had just planned to let Zhan Feiyu stay here with him until his father brought someone over.
It's all safe, who knew Zhan Feiyu was going to leave.
The passage was long and narrow, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Yuan Cheng asked his men to accompany him in pairs, with Room No. 5 as the center, and there were two people guarding every foot in front and back, while he guarded the door.
Hearing Qiu Huaixin's words, Yuan Cheng looked sharply at Zhan Feiyu and his group who had already reached the stairs. In addition to the He family brother and sister, the four secret people had already appeared.
The facial features of the four people looked ordinary, and they would not be recognized in the crowd, but the cold-blooded murderous aura on their bodies shocked Yuan Cheng. These four people are definitely as good as him, whether they are from the Bachelor's Palace or from the
The Forbidden Dragon Guard all illustrate the preciousness of Miss Zhan’s identity.
"Miss Zhan may be going for the box." Yuan Cheng also knew that there might be a token in the box, but now the lobby was in chaos, and anyone who snatched the box would become the target of everyone's attack.
"The box is opened..."
Suddenly, a shout rang out. Originally, there were three locks on the box, but at this moment, someone took the opportunity to cut off the third lock with a knife. Suddenly, the eyes of dozens of people fell on the box on the high platform. It was gone.
Lock, then as soon as the box is opened, anyone can take away the contents.
"Everyone, you can steal things, but how can you get out of He Shengxuan?" Shopkeeper Jia wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he looked embarrassed, he still looked capable of fighting. It is estimated that others did not think that the shopkeeper of He Shengxuan turned out to be a person.
Master.
Standing in the corner of the first floor, Zhan Feiyu watched from a distance. What Shopkeeper Jia said was not wrong. It was estimated that there was already a dragnet outside. Mr. Qiu would never let anyone escape in the chaos, so it was really a robbery.
It's useless when you get something, it's just a turtle in a urn.
"Master Qiu really has a better chess." Zhan Feiyu finally figured it out and couldn't help but glance towards the second floor. He probably didn't know that the Third Young Master was being taken advantage of by Master Qiu.
He Nuan was puzzled, and Zhan Feiyu explained in a low voice: "I thought Master Qiu didn't want to argue with Master Tao, so I allowed him to dominate Qianzhong Road."
Zhan Feiyu did think so at first. Although Mr. Tao was just a small household minister, he had the support of the prince in the palace. Mr. Qiu must avoid his sharp edge. In addition, the three members of the Qiu family had previously collaborated with the enemy and treason.
At this time, Mr. Qiu needs to keep a low profile.
But Zhan Feiyu figured it out this time, whether Master Tao or the contents of this box, these are all bait. The forces of Qianzhong Road, including spies from other families lurking on Qianzhong Road, are all moving at this moment.
They all came for the tokens.
"Master Qiu is going to catch all these people in one fell swoop." Zhan Feiyu had to admire Master Qiu's method of eliminating dissidents, and he used conspiracy. Even if the news reached the capital, he was not afraid of impeachment by Yushitai.
He Sheng and He Nuan looked at the group of people who were deadlocked in the lobby. They were all masters of death trained by various families. If they were all wiped out, the major forces would definitely be injured, and Qianzhong Road would be destroyed again.
It became a situation where the Qiu family was the dominant one.
It takes at least several decades to train a dead soldier. Master Qiu has cleared the Central Guizhou Road this time, which also clears the obstacles for Qiu Bingde to inherit the Qiu family in the future.
