Chapter 62 Assassin

Such a big thing happened in the capital, but the city has not yet heard the news. Since helping Ji Bochuan transport the three treasures of Qiyi to Qiongjiang, Huo Qiyu has followed Xue Zhen's intention and brought his letter to several reliable people, demanding the revitalizing of the "fat porcelain" kiln.

When Ji Bochuan saw Xue Zhen taking care of this matter, he was not as dissatisfied with him as before, and the two got along well with each other.

Xue Zhen carefully checked the situation on the ground situation of Qiyi and found that there were few people, money and little food in this place. If it hadn't been for the loyalty of the father and son of the Ji family, I'm afraid it would have been a deserted city.

He has a stubborn temperament. Since this serp is a place of death chosen for him by the people in the imperial city, he just wants them to see what it means to "place the dead and then live".

If you have little food, you can buy it; if you don't have money, you can buy it yourself. Food is the first necessity of the people, and the people of Qiyi have long been accustomed to living a poor life. Now some people are willing to give them money, clothes and food. How can they not be grateful? Only few people seem to be a hard injury.

"Qianyi is a border town, but I think you have to be able to do martial arts when you are young and middle-aged. If there is really something, you can't be completely relieved by the military alone. Shen Xuanji sat on the couch and made needlework and said leisurely, "Every family sends young and middle-aged men to practice with General Ji's camp. There is no good land here, and the farm work is limited. Although the three treasures are valuable, they can be served by old and young women and children. In the long run, they don't have to worry about not being able to support themselves."

Xue Zhen looked at her with a smile, "Is it sad to use your dowry?"

Shen Xuanji glanced at him and said, "That's right, if I hadn't married you, a poor man, I wouldn't have to spend my money to buy food."

"I will pay you back ten times as much money for my husband!" Xue Zhen stretched out his five fingers and made a "ten times" gesture.

Shen Xuanji was unmoved, "No, that's the handle of my life. You can't take the money to buy it back."

Xue Zhen knew that she was just laughing. He came up and rubbed Shen Xuanji's head and rubbed her hair in a mess. Shen Xuanji was annoyed and even threw away the embroidered bandages and needles and threads.

Xue Zhen ran away and said, "Oh, you are more and more regardless of your decentness now!"

Shen Xuanji laughed, and she also realized that since she came to Qiyi, she and Xue Zhen didn't even abide by the superficial etiquette. She was not like the ninth prince and the princess at all, but like a young couple from the market.

"If the princess does this to the prince, if she returns to Beijing in the future, she will fall into conversation again!" Lan Qing was steady and came up to pick up the embroidery for Shen Xuanji and persuaded him with a smile.

"I can go back. Let's talk about it later." Shen Xuanji's face darkened, "You didn't hear the last time Coral asked his uncle to find someone to send a letter, saying that the eighth prince wanted the emperor to abdicate. The prince received the letter from Commander Huo that day, and his face was not very good."

"Although he lived and laughed as usual, I know that he was afraid that everyone would worry about it." She sighed, "Although it looks much better than at the beginning, we are still weak. The heavenly family is difficult and dangerous. You must do it step by step. If you don't pay attention, you will be crushed to pieces.

Shen Xuanji said and thought of his impulsiveness that day. He was not only exhausted, but also gave the emperor, Princess Li and the Eighth Prince a good excuse to send himself and Xue Zhen. Although Xue Zhen still loves her, she is always ashamed. She secretly made up her mind that as long as Xue Wei wanted it, she would naturally offer what she had, even if she didn't have it, she would try her best to have it.

She is right. The dispute over royal power is indeed very dangerous. Sure enough, in the first half of the night, they were broken into their mansion in Qiyi.

At the beginning was a rocket, which suddenly broke through the air and shot upright on the bedroom window of Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji. The window paper ignited in an instant, making the night wind blow and crackle.

Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji turned over and get out of bed. Although they were frightened, they did not lose much. Xue Zhen also pulled off his cloak from the head of the bed and surrounded Shen Xuanji.

Shen Xuanji pulled out the dagger given to him by Xue Zhen from under his pillow, put the knife in his hand, and fought against the enemy with full spirit.

Neither of them spoke, just looked at each other.

Xue Zhen smiled bitterly, and Shen Xuanji shook his head at him.

Some people in Qiongjiang finally can't stand it. Since they want to take their lives, it must be inevitable. Those assassins could not hear the voices of Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji for a moment, and did not dare to act rashly. But suddenly, Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji could see clearly in the room, and many people came. This is a moment, however, she is not afraid.

The family has arrived to fight with the assassins. Yulang, who lived in the second courtyard, was so anxious that he called "sister, brother-in-law!" all the way despite the dissuasion of Mr. Yun and his wife. Run in. Mr. Yun hurried out. They were all from Shen's mansion and were not powerless scholars. Almost as soon as they appeared, they were entangled with assassins.

When Shen Xuanji saw Yulang coming out, he was afraid that he would be injured, so he immediately opened the door and rushed out. However, the lesson of Chunqi's tragic death was deeply imprinted in her heart. She stopped and took a look at Xue Zhen.

Xue Zhen grabbed her and opened the door with one hand, "You can't wait to die!"

Before the two stood still, they saw a white and sharp blade flying over their faces. Shen Xuanji subconsciously raised his hand and wiped out a few sparks with the dagger and the flying knife.

She was still in shock, and the other party had already rushed to three people and fought with Xue Zhen.

Xue Zhen protected his wife with one hand, and he took out a long sword from nowhere with one hand. Although he did not get the upper hand, he did not gain the upper hand. On one side, both his own family and the other's assassins were killed and injured. Even Yulang, Mr. Yun and Shuangchi were hung up. Qingqi, Mother Hua, Lan Qing, Biluo and Yutao squatted aside and trembled with fear. Those assassins had no time to take care of them for a while, but Biluo and Yutao had already cried.

Shen Xuanji said harshly, "If you want to die, you can cry louder!"

For a moment, Shen Xuanji's heart beat so much that he almost spit out of his mouth. This side is all the people. Now there are still many deaths and injuries, but the assassin doesn't know if there is any behind. In fact, the assassin's original martial arts skills should have been higher than those of the people of the Nine Kings Mansion, but they only completed what they had to do, but the people of the Nine Kings Mansion were fighting for their lives, so that they could barely fight against each other.

As time passed, with a "thorn", Xue Zhen's shoulder was also scratched. He was in pain, but he held the sword in his hand and refused to let go. Shen Xuanji saw that he was injured and wanted to pull a piece of clothes to bandage him, but the sword was like a storm, and she couldn't reach out at all.

Xue Zhen was injured, so he was a little unable to use his strength. His moves were slightly messy. He was emptied by the assassin and a sword, but he was stabbed on him.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Xuanji saw that the tip of the sword was only a little away from Xue Zhen's chest. She was shocked, afraid and angry. She waved the dagger obliquely, but the assassin's sight was blocked by Xue Zhen and was stabbed by Shen Xuanji's neck at once.

He covered his neck and stepped back a few steps. The other two assassins were also angry, and his moves became more vicious. Shen Xuanji saw that Xue Zhen was struggling to support, and Yulang and Mr. Yun were even more dangerous. She was disheartened for a moment. Is it true that she was going to die in Qiyi?

At a critical moment, he only heard the horses' hoofs and dozens of torches lit up. A majestic and low male voice shouted, "Who is the assassin? Do you think it's a long life to dare to assassinate the ninth prince and princess?

Shen Xuanji was almost about to cry, but Ji Bochuan led a group of soldiers and rushed in regardless.

The assassins were shocked and could hardly tolerate their reaction, and were rushed up by the soldiers under Ji Bochuan. And Ji Bochuan himself also jumped from the horse to rescue Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji.

"General's life-saving grace is unforgettable!" Ji Bochuan was stunned when he heard the words. He was still embarrassed to say, "The princess is overreputed. Later in the future, please ask the prince and princess to atone for their sins."

Shen Xuanji quickly said that he didn't dare to do it.

The assassin said that he was very helpless. Why did you despise us so much?

Xue Zhen was so angry that his teeth hurt, "Let's talk later. Help me take care of these rats first!"

Ji Bochuan looked solemn, and his sword came out of its sheath and fought with the two people.

Shen Xuanji then withdrew from the regiment and ran to Yulang and Mr. Yun, and the green people had already surrounded him.

However, those assassins were killed in a row, dead and injured. Ji Bochuan grabbed a living man and was about to ask a question when he gritted his teeth, spewing black blood from his mouth and nose, and fell softly to the ground and died.

The remaining assassins were also concocted in the same way. Xue Zhen and Ji Bochuan were anxious and angry, but they still watched them all die in front of them.

"People are harmless to tigers, and tigers hurt people." Ji Bochuan arched his hand to Xue Zhen, "Your Majesty still needs to plan early!"

Xue Zhen's face was blue and white. Shen Xuanji was dressing him with her. He bled a lot, but he still stood upright. "What the general said is reasonable. This matter can't be delayed."

For a while, the assassin was dead. Ji Bochuan ordered the soldiers to help collect the corpses, leaving a small group of soldiers to escort the Nine Kings Palace and left with the large team. Mother Hua took Biluo, Yutao and the little maid servants to bandage the wounds for the family. Shuangchi took the servants to clean up the yard, and Qingzhen took care of Mr. Yun and Yulang. Lan Qing accompanied Shen Xuanji and helped Xue Zhen to lie down first. Only when the two of them picked up the burned things in the bedroom.

Xue Zhen leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the ceiling coldly. He couldn't see any joy or anger.

The window could not be repaired for a while, so Lan Qing had to cut a piece of cotton cloth and paste it on the window lattice. "Princess, let's do it for the time being, and call someone to repair it tomorrow morning."

Shen Xuanji nodded and looked at Xue Zhen. He looked sideways at the window, and his eyes were changeable. Shen Xuanji quickly called Lan Qing down, squatted by the window and held his hand, "Your Majesty, does the wound still hurt?"

Xue Zhen looked at her and said, "Xu Ji, what did I do wrong to make people tolerate us like this?"

"It is precisely because you and I have not done anything wrong that they can't tolerate us like this." Shen Xuanji smiled and his eyes shone brightly in the darkness. "We have been out for a long time, and it's time to go back. I believe that the Empress Dowager also hopes that the prince can go back."
