On the side outside the road was where the carriage had sunk.
After Qu Moying got off the car, he took a look and was surrounded by people and led to the inside of the road.
Apart from the mountain path, there was an irregular slope of the mountain. The slope was not very large. A few useless stones fell on the side, blocking the irregular slope. In just a short while, the sky darkened again. Standing on this side of the road, looking at the opposite side, the expressions on people's faces were not so clear.
Everyone else was called over to help, even Yuchun was called over.
Originally, Yuchun was supposed to stay to accompany Qu Moying. Yudong looked taller and stronger than her, and not as thin as her.
Yuchun volunteered to go up, leaving only Yudong to accompany Qu Moying. Now they are standing in front of a big rock. There is a small platform where the big rock extends forward. Although it is small, it is just right for one person to sit on.
Yudong spread the towel there, and Qu Moying sat here waiting for the wheel to be brought up.
The sky was getting darker faster.
"Miss, I'll go over and take a look." Yu Dong waited for a while, became very anxious, and couldn't wait any longer, so she said to Qu Moying.
But he reached out his hand and gently pulled Qu Moying's sleeve to the left.
Qu Moying understood and nodded: "You go and take a look. If it still doesn't work, you can stay there and help. One more person means more strength. We have to get down the mountain faster."
"Miss, please sit for a while. I'll go over and take a look." Yu Dong said, pulling Qu Moying's sleeve and walking lightly to the right in the middle of the avenue, a little away from the left.
On the left side is the gap between two stones. Yu Dong has been paying attention to the movements behind it. If he wants to attack here, then the best place to hide behind the stone is the best place to hide.
Sure enough, he heard the sound of soft breathing, which was very long. He knew it was practiced. There was indeed someone behind the stone.
Fearing that these people might suddenly rush out and harm Qu Moying, Yu Dong remained cautious and on guard.
Fortunately, two of his secret guards also arrived and gave the signal of bird calls, which meant that they could take action.
Qu Moying followed Yu Dong forward, walked out of the area where they were sitting before, not only walked a little to the right, but also walked towards the middle of the road. Her footsteps were very light. If you only listened to her footsteps, and only heard Yu Dong's deliberately heavy footsteps, you would think that Yu Dong, the maid, had left her master.
There were two men in black hiding behind the stone, each holding a sword in their hands. After looking at each other, they knew that this was the best time.
One of them took out a handkerchief from his bosom, which he used to cover Qu Moying's mouth and nose. After a while, he rushed out and covered Qu Moying's mouth and nose with the handkerchief. The fourth Miss Qu would immediately fall down powerlessly. Two people would carry her behind a stone, and then they would disappear into the darkness.
Without anyone noticing, the maids and old women brought the wheel up, and when they looked for Fourth Miss Qu, she was gone.
As for how to deal with this person, the Second Young Master said that they would sell her directly and send her away far away. Even if this Fourth Miss Qu has the chance to return to the capital in the future, she would be a fallen woman. The Second Master would definitely not recognize this Fourth Miss Qu again. He had no feelings for her in the first place. How could he expect the Second Master to recognize this for the sake of a daughter with a disgrace
The most they would report is that someone slipped and fell down the mountain on the way down and died!
The two men in black thought so.
He planned to do so, but when he rushed to the front of the rock, he was suddenly stunned. He thought Fourth Miss Qu, who was sitting there, was gone.
A man in black had already stretched out the handkerchief in his hand, right where Qu Moying had sat before. The position was so precise as if it had been measured. If Qu Moying had sat there, this press would definitely be at the position of her mouth and nose.
Although Qu Moying stood still, she turned around and looked at the place where she had sat before. She saw the man in black coming out and covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in his hand. The corners of her eyes twitched violently and her hands clenched involuntarily.
Qu Zhizhen... Why does he have such powerful secret guards under his command? With his status as a minister, how could he have such well-trained secret guards
He had seen such skills beside his father in his previous life.
But my father is a general and has many good soldiers around him. What is Qu Zhizhen’s basis
"There's an assassin, come quickly, there's an assassin." Yu Dong had also been paying attention to this side. When he saw two men in black coming out, he was stunned for a moment in panic and then quickly screamed loudly.
The scream was so sharp that the birds in the nearby trees frightened them so much that they flapped their wings and scattered.
The maids and old women in the Qu mansion were all shocked. They looked at everything in front of them in amazement, especially the sharp blades in the hands of the two secret guards. They all stood there in a daze.
The two men in black reacted very quickly. When they saw that they had failed, they suddenly rushed towards Qu Moying, intending to kidnap him. The Second Young Master said that if things got difficult, they would at least have to take the target's life.
But before they could take a few steps, two people suddenly jumped down from the tree behind the rock, the sharp blades in their hands also flashing with cold light, and they thrust forward.
The man in black behind him had no time to react and was stabbed through the heart. He fell to the ground holding his chest.
When the man in black in front saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly retreated to the side and no longer dared to rush towards Qu Moying. After retreating a few steps, he rushed into the woods in the shadows on the side of the road. The direction he found was very accurate, which showed that he had calculated it early.
When Yudong's men rushed over, the figure had already disappeared into the woods.
The two men did not dare to chase anymore. After looking at each other, they turned around, each holding the hand of the man in black who had fallen to the ground, and disappeared into the woods behind the road.
The maids and old women in the Qu mansion only reacted at this time and screamed one after another. Some were still shouting "Help", while others sat on the ground in panic, trembling all over.
They also reacted at this time. The people just now seemed to be rushing over to kill them. If there were no more people coming from behind, none of them might survive.
Few of the maids and old women in the inner courtyard were able to remain calm due to the fear.
Although the two coachmen were men, they were terrified and trembling with fear.
"Okay, stop yelling, the people are gone." Yu Dong scolded, "If you keep yelling like this, you won't be able to get down the mountain tomorrow. By then, let alone assassins, there might be wild beasts coming down from the mountain."
Although there is no news of any wild beasts under Qingyun Temple, since there are even assassins, nothing is impossible.
Several maids and old women didn't even bother to be called out now. They forced themselves to get up and go to help fix the wheel. Before, they were just doing some work, but now they were trying their best to help, determined to get the wheel out.
"Miss, there's a car coming."
Duo was the most sensitive. After listening carefully, he whispered.
If something like this happened, he would definitely stay close to Qu Moying, fearing for any unexpected event.
"Going up the mountain or down the mountain?" Although Qu Moying's hearing was good, it was not as good as Yu Dong who had been specially trained.
"It's a carriage going up the mountain. Why are there people going up the mountain at this time?" Yu Dong said, the last sentence was spoken to himself.
Now we can see the carriage. The mountain road turns, and just below the mountain road, we can see lights in the distance. Although it is a little early to have lights on at this time, it is better to light them early, as it will be dark soon.
He must have planned the time carefully and brought a lantern with him when he went up the mountain.
Although it looked not far, there was actually some distance to go around, and both sides saw the carriage coming from the opposite side.
Finally, the carriage arrived at this section of road and stopped in front of everyone in the Qu Mansion.
The maids and servants in Qu's house were trembling with fear. The assassin had just happened. What was going on now? The aftermath of the assassin jumping out of nowhere was still there. No one dared to be careless at this moment. The road was silent. Everyone was looking at the car door that had not been opened yet, fearing that something incredible would jump out again.
The carriage door opened and a servant came out with a small lantern in his hand. He shone the lantern over here and only saw a group of servants. He didn't notice Qu Moying and Yu Dong standing aside.
"What's wrong with you? What happened?" the servant asked loudly.
"Our carriage got stuck, the wheels got stuck in the pit, and for a moment... for a moment we can't move." A coachman came out and answered tremblingly.
"Do you need help?" the servant asked again.
The coachman looked at Qu Moying unconsciously. He couldn't make the decision on this matter. If it were in the past, it would be best to have someone to help, but they had just experienced a life-and-death crisis and dared not be careless at all.
Seeing the coachman looking over here, the servant also looked over here, and then he saw Qu Moying. He raised the lantern in his hand to shine it, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to see clearly.
Although Qu Moying took off her veil when she got off the car, she was wearing a long hat. Her face was completely blocked by the hat, so her face could not be seen clearly. However, Yu Dong, who was standing next to Qu Moying, let the servant take a few more glances at her, and then hesitantly asked, "Are you from Minister Qu's residence?"
"Our young lady is from Minister Qu's house. When she was going down the mountain just now, her carriage had an accident. If you can help me, I would be very grateful." Yu Dong received Qu Moying's signal and stepped forward to take over.
The servant looked them up and down a few more times and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask our Master."
After saying that, he turned around and got on the carriage.
Everyone waited, and soon the servant jumped off the carriage again, then stepped aside, and a young man came out of the carriage.
After jumping off the carriage, he straightened his sleeves and walked towards Qu Moying, and the servant followed behind him with a lantern in his hand.
Yu Dong took a step forward and stood in front of Qu Moying, looking at the person coming with caution. Because of the lights behind him, he couldn't see clearly who was coming in front of him for a moment, so it was always right to be careful.
"Is that Fourth Miss Qu? What a coincidence!" The man stopped a few steps away from Qu Moying, smiled slightly, and greeted Qu Moying.
This voice sounds familiar, is it someone I know
