Chapter 111 Assassination 1

Xia Mengning went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to see the Empress Dowager's symptoms and prescribed some tonic prescriptions. Seeing that it was almost dark, she said goodbye to the emperor. The two were ready to leave the palace and go home.

Walking out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, a cold wind came. Jiu'er thoughtfully put a cloak on Xia Mengning. Xia Mengning looked at the sky in the distance and said, "Jiu'er, do you think this deep palace is more dangerous than in our house?"

Jiu'er helped Xia Mengning walk out. The two walked through the ninety-nine steps of Han Baiyu. Jiu'er said, "Miss, I know that you have been tired and tired of it, but I can't stop, just because if there is a little relaxation, it will be doomed, and all the previous efforts will be in vain."

Xia Mengning was quite touched. She patted the back of Jiu'er's hand and turned around and said, "Jiu'er, you see how beautiful the white jade steps are, but only when you really step on it can you feel how cool it is. Others envy this person who can walk up the steps, but this step is cold, almost to the bone, the taste is only Only those who have passed by can know.

Jiu'er looked at it and said, "Miss, no matter how bloody it is in front of you, I am willing to accompany you to make a breakthrough."

Xia Mengning nodded, "Why didn't I want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests in a cloth? I don't listen to the world. I only need a book every day for the rest of my life, but I know that I can't. Since I was in the prime minister's house all my life, I am destined to fight and calculate. If I fight well, I can be rich, jade plate and ashamed, and have everything. People want to have everything, but the price of this exchange is that they can't have feelings, can't be bored, let alone give up halfway.

Jiu'er looked at Xia Mengning's eyes, and then looked over. A bloody remnant sun was hanging on the edge of the sky, reflecting the lonely and cool figure of the two, which made people more and more desolate.

Walking out of the palace gate, the carriage guarding at the door had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Xia Mengning's master and servant coming out, a man in eunuch's uniform came and arched his hand and said, "I have seen Miss Xia. It was the emperor who ordered the slaves to wait here and send Miss Xia back to the prime minister's mansion."

Xia Mengning nodded, "So, I'm sorry to bother my father-in-law."

After saying that, Jiu'er came forward with eyes and handed over a piece of silver. The little eunuch saw it, and his face couldn't help laughing into a **, becoming more and more enthusiastic.

Xia Mengning got into the carriage. Jiu'er lifted the curtain and looked at it and said, "Miss, there are eight bodyguards outside. It seems that the emperor sent them to protect the young lady."

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "If it's dangerous, I'm afraid these eight bodyguards won't be useful."

Jiu'er knew that Xia Mengning knew some kung fu. Now when she heard Xia Mengning say this, she also nodded.

The carriage walked back slowly. Xia Mengning was tired for a day and a little tired, so she leaned on Jiu'er and squinted to rest.

It was already evening when the sun was setting. Only this carriage was slowly on the road, against the night, but there was indescribable strangeness.

Several well-trained men in black lay on the roof and saw Xia Mengning's carriage coming. Several people in black quickly looked at each other and pulled out the sharp knives in their hands, shining a little cold in the night.

Xia Mengning was resting with her eyes closed, but suddenly felt a different breath from usual. She carefully identified that she was a master of martial arts. Xia Mengning's alarm bell in her heart and immediately woke up Jiu'er.

Jiu'er didn't fall asleep, but now when she sees Xia Mengning's eyes, she knows that it's dangerous.

Xia Mengning lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked outside. She was stunned. This group of people were really bold enough to dare to do it not far from the Prime Minister's mansion, but who was it?

Xia Mengning was thinking about it when she heard someone shouting outside, "Who?"

Then, there was the sound of weapons colliding. Xia Mengning looked out and saw that there were only six people in black, but everyone was a person with strong martial arts skills. Without a few moves, she killed several bodyguards.

Then, several people in black surrounded Xia Mengning's carriage with knives. Xia Mengning looked at Jiu'er, "I'll go out to fight with them later. You have to run back to the Prime Minister's house quickly to find rescuers."

Jiu'er shook her head, and Xia Mengning quickly said, "It's too late. They won't have the courage to meet the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do as I say!"

After saying that, Xia Mengning rushed out of the carriage, quickly pulled out the soft sword from her waist, and killed the nearest man in black.

This group of people in black didn't expect that this young lady could do martial arts. They were stunned for a moment. Xia Mengning quickly glanced at the audience, and the soft sword also stabbed out. The moves were to take the life of the man in black.

Although the man in black is a master of martial arts, he is still fierce with Xia Mengning's sword. Soon, Xia Mengning killed four of them.

The remaining two people in black saw each other and looked at each other. They actually took out a short white tubular object from their arms and blew them in their mouths.

Xia Mengning said that it was not good, but she was a step late. As soon as the strange rhythm entered her ears, her hands seemed to be uncontrollable. Seeing this, the man in black immediately picked up the knife and killed her. Xia Mengning saw that the knife was about to stab her, but there was no way to retreat and avoid it.

At this moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of Xia Mengning. Xia Mengning only felt that the man's body suddenly exerted force on him and collapsed.

With this delay, Xia Mengning's mind had recovered. The person in her arms quickly dodged. She looked down, but it was Jiu'er who blocked a knife for herself.

"Jiu'er..." Xia Mengning's nose was sore, and she only felt so uncomfortable. Her fingers quickly touched the acupuncture point on Jiu'er's body to help her stop the bleeding.

Jiu'er opened her eyes and Xia Mengning said, "Go to the house to find rescuers!"

With that, with a force of his hands, he sent Jiu'er to the carriage. The soft sword in his hand was quickly inserted into the horse's buttocks. The horse was in pain and ran away with Jiu'er.

The man in black was shocked: "No, don't let her run away!"

Xia Mengning gathered her hands with internal force and stretched out her palm to block the bodies of the two people in black. The strong internal force forced the two back a few steps together.

The carriage ran forward quickly. Jiu'er lay on it upside down. The knife she had just received almost killed her, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted that she couldn't close her eyes. The young lady was still waiting for her to find someone to go to her. It's okay to die, but the young lady couldn't die.

The carriage turned a corner, but it couldn't stop. Seeing that the Prime Minister's mansion was getting farther and farther away from him, Jiu'er put all her strength into holding the horse, but it was a drop in the bucket. The crazy horse couldn't stop at all. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, Jiu'er had no choice but to bite her lips fiercely and rolled from the carriage. Come down.

"Ah!" The speed of the carriage was amazing. Jiu'er was injured and was hit hard on the stone on one side. She couldn't help but feel dizzy. There was a sweet smell in her throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

You can't die, you have to save the young lady!

There is only such an idea in Jiu'er's mind. She stood up on the ground and stumbled back.

Changsun Yunben returned to the house, but he was worried about Xia Mengning's foot injury. After using the meal, he wanted to go to the Prime Minister's house to see how she was doing.

As soon as he walked to the street, Changsun Yun felt an unusual smell. Leng Xiao, who was beside him, quickly lay on the ground, closed his eyes and listened for a while. He stood up and said, "Son, there is a fight ahead, and there is a smell of blood."
