Afterwards, the journey was very smooth, so they went back to the carriage again. Although the scenery was different the further north they went, it would be boring to watch for a long time. It happened that Chu Jinglan and Pei Yuanshu were talking about the Deng family in Jingzhou. Ye Huaiyang pricked up his ears and listened.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake. As a king with a different surname who was enfeoffed in the time of Emperor Tai.zu and inherited to the present, the Deng family seems to have become a hegemon. When the emperor was on the throne, he tried several times to rectify it, but he failed to eradicate the roots. , After Chu Sanghuai came to the throne, he spent a lot of money and was addicted to wine and sex, and he didn't care about the situation in Jingzhou at all, so Deng's unruly heart was like that wild grass.
Lingnan is next to Jingzhou, and it is a land rich in water and soil. It is inevitable that people will be coveted. In addition, the incident of Bai Xingzhi caused the court and Lingnan general Chang Xin to make a lot of trouble. Under Deng's repeated persuasion, she She had already secretly joined them, so she thought she didn't know about the Deng family's deployment of troops in the Lingnan enclosure, and naturally there was no resistance.
This series of troubles was something that Chu Sanghuai never thought of when he solved the Bai family, so he was so angry, but in fact, someone had expected all this, and that was Yue Ting.
I don't know what he said to Pei Yuanshu before. Anyway, he was very calm all the way. Chu Jinglan looked at it and asked casually, "I don't know what good plan Pei Qing has for Jingzhou?"
When it came to business affairs, Pei Yuanshu suddenly came to his senses, and he stopped stammering in his speech.
"Back to the lord, Wei Chen thinks that since we are going in the name of the inspector, we might as well follow this and see what cards the other party plays."
"That's right." Chu Jinglan slowly pushed the lamp forward, a look of admiration flashing across his eyes, "Deng Tianguan knows our trump card, but we don't know his, so in such a situation, it is the best policy to act quietly."
Pei Yuanshu hunched over to take the cup of clear tea, took a sip and said, "Besides, Wei Chen has another thing I want to ask you about."
"What's the matter?"
"You must also know that Wei Chen's ancestral home is in Lingnan, and he has been in contact with officials of the same nationality since he entered Beijing, so he has some connections in Lingnan. Taking this opportunity, Wei Chen wants to meet Chang Xin. If you can persuade her Knowing how to return from the lost, Deng lost a great help, both public and private are beneficial to us.”
The tea cover kept spinning in Chu Jinglan's hands, but he raised his head and glanced at Pei Yuanshu, and said leisurely: "The plan is good, but it's a little dangerous, if Chang Xin and Deng Tian get through, we're afraid we don't want to walk out. Jingzhou."
"That's why Wei Chen wants to ask the lord to make a decision. No matter what the result is, Wei Chen will not hesitate to do anything."
Pei Yuanshu curled up and kowtowed, Chu Jinglan helped him up and said, "Pei Qing doesn't have to do this, although this move is dangerous, but only a little skill can greatly reduce the risk, and you don't need to fight with your life. ."
"Weichen would like to hear..."
In the middle of the conversation, the horse neighed, the car stopped halfway, the cup overturned, the tea was flowing, Ye Huaiyang fell forward uncontrollably, Chu Jinglan reached out in time to get her back into his arms , and immediately stared out of the curtain.
"Qingfeng, what's going on?"
Tang Qingfeng's voice was unusually low: "Master, something is wrong."
It was too late and it was too fast. A dozen black shadows suddenly appeared in the woods on both sides, and surrounded the carriage at a very fast speed. Clearly, it slid across everyone's ear curtains like frost and wind, causing them to instantly freeze their faces.
"It seems that I really have a relationship with assassins in my life, and I can meet them wherever I go." Ye Huaiyang smiled coldly, and immediately gave an order, "Ciyuan, you must keep the job for me, I Let's see who is doing the trick!"
"Yes, miss." Ci Yuan responded in a deep voice, jumped out of the carriage with his sword in hand, Tang Qingfeng followed closely, and smashed into the battle like two different-colored lightning.
The shadows of the trees swirled, the forest was deep and still, the autumn color that was originally quiet and distant was shattered by the shadow of the sword, light and sword, and the incessant sound of weapons striking the ears shocked the birds and fluttered, and the little beasts fled in all directions, bloodstains one after another. It was even redder than the maple leaves in the mountains and plains, and the fishy smell floated into the carriage, and Crescent Moon couldn't help but leaned over and vomited.
Although Pei Yuanshu has never experienced such a scene, he is a man after all, and he has long understood that this trip will not be too smooth, so he is still prepared. When he saw Crescent Moon like this, he immediately handed a handkerchief over, and looked back at Ye Huaiyang. There was no fear on Shen Ning's face, and she immediately admired her courage.
Looking at the other side, although Ci Yuan and Tang Qingfeng are superb in martial arts, the men in black always try their best to bypass them and go straight to the carriage, as if they are quite sure that the target is inside. Turning around to stop the person who rushed through the line of defense, they were pushed back to the side of the carriage over time, and the range of action became extremely narrow.
"Sit down here, don't look outside." Chu Jinglan told Ye Huaiyang, turned around and got off the carriage.
Tang Qingfeng was shocked when he saw him appear: "Master, why did you come down?"
Chu Jinglan glanced around, and he had a rough idea in his heart, and then ordered: "Resolve it as soon as possible, there is no need to keep alive any more."
Ye Huaiyang tickled her eyebrows when she heard the words, and immediately got out of the car. Before she could speak, she saw a flash of cold light flashing in the woods ahead. She threw herself in front of Chu Jinglan without thinking. A sharp arrow came through the dense branches and leaves, and shot at her chest with a sharp roar!
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, especially Ci Yuan, whose breathing stagnated on the spot.
He is a martial arts practitioner, and he can see it very clearly. The arrows are so fast that they must contain a thousand strengths. As long as they are hit, they will be disintegrated, not to mention the heart...
Between the lightning and flint, Chu Jinglan quickly stretched out his hand and brushed Ye Huaiyang aside, the other hand grabbed the arrow feather precisely, and the whole person was pulled back a few steps by the force. It was already bloody.
"Jinglan!" Ye Huaiyang immediately ran over and took his hand, his eyes full of fear, "How are you? Are you badly hurt? Let me see!"
Chu Jinglan pushed her back to the car and said, "Go back and sit down."
She refused to leave, but took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped his hand, but the flesh was opened, and the blood could not be stopped at all, and her eyes were so anxious that her eyes were red.
After this incident, Tang Qingfeng and Ci Yuan suddenly had a tacit understanding. One of them wielded a big sword and rolled up ten thousand layers of sword energy to attack the man in black. It swept straight into the woods, and after a while, a corpse was thrown in front of him.
The man in black witnessed the death of his companion and attacked back in anger. Unexpectedly, the combined power of Ci Yuan and Tang Qingfeng was unstoppable, and they slashed and slashed them one by one. It took only half a cup of tea. During the battle, there were more than a dozen corpses lying slantingly on the ground, and there was no sound at all.
"Crescent moon, hurry up, bring the golden sore medicine!"
Ye Huaiyang was still tormented by the fire, Chu Jinglan had already pulled her hands into her sleeves, dragged her into the carriage along the way, and said, "Qingfeng, speed up, and be sure to reach Jingzhou before it gets dark."
"Subordinates obey."
The carriage raced along the official road and arrived early in the small town in the south of Jingzhou. They first went to the medical center to treat Chu Jinglan's injuries, and then went to the inn to settle down. Next, Ye Huaiyang fell asleep exhausted.
Chu Jinglan was still talking to Tang Qingfeng outside.
"Master, although the situation was urgent at the time, it's okay to leave a living room. Why do you..."
"No need." Chu Jinglan turned the celadon medicine bottle in his hand, and his eyes were filled with extreme determination, "The assassin won't come sooner or later, but he chose to come when we were about to arrive in Jingzhou, obviously because he wanted to marry him. It's Deng Tianguan's fault, do you still need to guess who it is?"
Tang Qingfeng suddenly realized: "No wonder you asked me to enter Jingzhou quickly, even if the assassins wanted to do it, it would not be so easy after arriving here. In terms of that person's character, he would definitely not be reckless at the risk of being discovered by Deng Tianguan. act."
"It is not ruled out that Deng Tianguan also has this idea. Let's transfer the dozens of shadow guards back for the time being. There is no need to go to Jinguan City in advance to make arrangements. We will talk about it when we get there."
"Yes." Tang Qingfeng saluted and left the room.
The moon was setting, and the night was already deep. Chu Jinglan sat in front of the round table and rubbed his brows wearily. He was about to get up to rest when suddenly a scream came from inside, his heart skipped a beat, and he stepped into the room quickly. Ye Huaiyang found that Ye Huaiyang was sitting on the bed like a lost soul, her delicate face was pale, and her body was soaked with wet sweat.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Jinglan sat down on the edge of the bed, and the bandaged hand suddenly entered Ye Huaiyang's line of sight. She stared blankly, then buried her head in his arms, hugging his waist and refusing to let go.
"I'm having a nightmare."
Ye Huaiyang didn't say what the dream was about, and Chu Jinglan didn't ask, just whispered, "It's okay, go to sleep."
"You accompany me." She muttered.
Chu Jinglan silently removed her boots and went to bed, and fell asleep beside Ye Huaiyang like a barrier, letting her throbbing heart return to its place.
There was nothing wrong with him, just a false alarm in his dream.
Ye Huaiyang's sweat gradually stopped, and she also lay down in her clothes, but she couldn't help but think of the time when the Bai family attacked her. Even if she was injured, the feeling of trepidation was not worth 1/10,000th of today's. ? She couldn't imagine what she would be like now if the arrow pierced Chu Jinglan's body, maybe she had no masters.
In the darkness, Chu Jinglan's low, watery voice sounded in her ear: "Don't do this again in the future."
She didn't hear the faint tenderness hidden in it, she just pursed her cherry lips tightly, and made up her mind not to open her mouth, because she knew that she would do the same thing next time she met.
