Views:

Hearing his voice, Reedan felt less frightened. He was riding beside the carriage just now, and happened to see the arrow piercing the wall of the carriage next to him. He was shocked and carefully found that there was no blood on the arrow. , knowing that Yang Heng is probably fine, now that he heard Yang Heng's voice, he was finally relieved, and replied: "No, someone has already gone to investigate."

Half of the people in charge of escorting Yang Heng were his trusted guards brought by himself, and the other half were soldiers of the Zhenbei Army temporarily transferred by Lu Ying. save.

When the incident happened suddenly, everyone wanted to protect Yang Heng. Chickweed urgently sent two Zhenbei soldiers to investigate in the direction of the arrow, and sent another person to notify Lu Ying to send someone to support.

The people on the street who had retreated to both sides of the road to avoid the imperial convoy were frightened by this, and fled in all directions, fearing that they would be accidentally injured or be regarded as the assassin's accomplices.

Under the bright sun, Yang Heng's carriage parked quietly in the center of the street, surrounded by dozens of guards outside, everyone was in a cold sweat from the shock of the arrow just now, and at this moment, all of them unsheathed their swords and looked around nervously.

Yang Heng is both a prince and an imperial envoy, he lost his life, everyone here must be buried with him!

The strength of that arrow is definitely not something that ordinary people can shoot. I don’t know how many such assassins are ambushing around. If I rashly continue to move forward, God knows if there will be a second or third arrow. Yang Heng was lucky enough to escape an arrow, but what about the rest

Under the tense atmosphere, there was a melodious sound of camel bells not far away—Bai Fuling's carriage just happened to pass by the side street in front.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Rui Zhu's heart, he turned his head to Chickweed and said: "I'll ask Miss Bai to send the Sixth Highness off, it's better than waiting here!" After finishing speaking, Chikwee lifted the rein and ran away At the intersection, stop the Bai family's caravan.

Zhenbei Shibaqi often accompanied Lu Ying to Baili Mountain as a guest, and they were like a family up and down Baili Mountain. When Bai Guo, who was walking in front, saw that he was an acquaintance, he quickly reined in the camel and asked with a smile: "Sharp storage, What are you doing here to stop us?"

Rui Zhu clasped his fists to salute her right away, and raised his voice: "Miss Bai, the imperial envoy has been attacked, can you please borrow a carriage to escort the imperial envoy back home?"

Can she say no? Bai Fuling rolled her eyes in the carriage.

The horse convoy was led by Rui Zhu, turned a corner, and quickly walked to Yang Heng's convoy. Chickweed had already given a simple explanation to Lie. Lie Dang felt that he was in a stalemate with the assassin who hadn't even found him on the street. In the middle, it was indeed unseemly for an imperial envoy, so he nodded and agreed, arranged for guards, and when Bai Fuling's carriage arrived, he immediately escorted Yang Heng to change carriages.

Yang Heng escaped from death and calmed down very quickly, but he didn't expect to see that beautiful and difficult little barbarian again so soon, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Bai Fuling smiled at him in the car and bent over as a salute. The two sat facing each other, and the only sound in the car was the sound of each other's breathing.

The carriage was not particularly spacious, and suddenly there was a big man, and Bai Fuling felt even more cramped.

The curtains of the car were pulled wide open, and there was only a layer of translucent tulle on the car window. Bai Fuling deliberately turned her eyes to look outside, just in time to see Yang Heng's bodyguard walking to the car window to cover herself, and couldn't help but speak. Said: "Your Highness, tell them to back off, even a first-class expert with a special iron tire bow will not be able to shoot through the window screen of the car wall with all their strength."

"Oh?" Yang Heng ordered the guards to back away, and then asked with a smile: "Could it be that the car wall and window screens are also traps?" He vaguely remembered the last time he saw Bai Fuling, the car windows were not covered with screens , He took a closer look, and found that this layer of window screen was fixed on a black steel grid of the same size as the window frame, with movable metal slots, which could be pushed and pulled to control its position.

Bai Fuling smiled triumphantly and said: "I can't tell you the mechanism. The outside of the carriage looks like it's made of ebony, but it's actually embedded with hundreds of tempered steel sheets, and these two window screens are made of special steel wire mixed with golden spider silk. The toughness is extremely strong and invulnerable to swords and guns. As long as you sit in the car, even if there is a hail of bullets, it will not hurt the people in the car. Otherwise, Ruizhu and Chickweed would not invite your highness to my car. If your highness is interested, I can invite the shopkeeper Ordered one for His Highness, but golden spider silk is very rare, I am afraid that this window screen can only be replaced with steel sheets directly. Not counting the window screen, it is not expensive, and I can make it with six thousand taels of silver. It can be cheaper if the decoration is not elegant."

In the afternoon, the sun shines through the window screens into the carriage, and the young girl's nimble demeanor seems to have become a little illusory and hazy in the half-dark light and shadow. Yang Heng felt an impulse in his heart, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: " I want money!"

Bai Fuling didn't expect him to come here, and she was wiped off by him without any precautions, her eyebrows were erected, and she was about to get angry. At this moment, there was a loud bang from the window screen. Seeing a prominent bulge on the window screen, it seems that something just pricked it and didn't pierce it.

Bai Fuling realized that someone was shooting arrows in this direction again, and even deformed her precious window screen, she couldn't help shouting angrily: "Bai Shisan, bring back the archery bastard! Give him a lung!" ! My window screen is worth 15,000 taels!"

Outside the car, before she could speak, Bai Shisan and Bai Ashi had already jumped up from their horses, pulled out the wooden stick attached to their waist, and rushed towards the direction of the sharp arrow.

Bai Fuling thought about it for a while and was worried that something might happen to the people she sent: "Ah Liu, you also go to meet them on Eleventh, if you can't catch them, that's all. You have to come back well. There are many people here. If I don't get off the car, no one will be hurt." Get me! Go!"

Bai A Liu and Bai Shi Shi hesitated for a moment, winked at the other four accompanying Bai family guards, and flew towards Bai Shisan and the others.

Looking at the movements of the four guards of the Bai family, Yang Heng couldn't help but secretly startled. The strength of these four people was only stronger than the elite dark guards he had recruited and trained for many years, and they were willing to serve as slaves for the Bai family. Let a little girl call and drink around? !

Turning around, she happened to see Bai Fuling staring at him unkindly. When the latter noticed his gaze, she immediately lowered her head to hide her disrespectful expression. Yang Heng didn't want to see her like this, thought for a while and said: "You saved me twice, you are my savior after all, from now on you just treat me as an ordinary person, you don't need to pay attention to status, as long as There is no outsider, you don't have to bow down and salute when you see me, if you are upset, you can get angry and scold if you want to, okay?" He also stopped calling himself "Ben Gong" and changed it to you and me.

Bai Fuling raised her head, blinked her eyes and looked at him suspiciously, as if trying to judge the truth of what he said.

Yang Heng smiled sincerely, blinked her eyes like her, and added: "If you want to collect debts, you can ask directly, you don't have to beat around the bush." Just now Bai Fuling yelled that her window screen was worth fifteen thousand taels At the time, he already had a premonition that most of the debt would be counted on him.

Bai Fuling naturally understood what he meant, raised her face and said, "You must keep what you say!"

Yang Heng stretched out his palm and said, "Let's clap three times and never regret it."

Bai Fuling really stretched out her palm to hit him.

After three clear applause, Bai Fuling immediately tore off the mask of warmth to reveal the creditor's face: "Although the window screen is not broken, but its shape is damaged, and the golden spider silk wrapped around it has been torn too much. I won't charge you fifteen thousand." One thousand taels, but if you ask for one thousand taels of damage depreciation, it should be reasonable, right?"

Yang Heng smiled wryly and said: "It's reasonable, very reasonable! When I get to the official office, I will present the official ticket right away."

Bai Fuling was happy to see him being so upbeat, and said with a smile, "Who have you provoked? You have been assassinated one after another, do you want to rent my carriage? It's the one you took last time. Window screens, but there are also steel windows, the light will be poorer if they are closed, but they can definitely block open and dark arrows, everyone is so familiar, the rent is only ten taels of silver per day."

Even if she is the daughter of a businessman, she doesn't bring money like this... Yang Heng just felt powerless for a while. He let Bai Fuling speak freely in front of him, not for her to sell him business.

After Yang Heng promised that he would rent the Bai family's "safety carriage" during his stay in Beiguan City, Bai Fuling finally ordered the carriage to set off with satisfaction, and went to the government office first.

As soon as everyone entered the door, sat down and drank Dingjing tea, it was reported that Lu Ying, Bai Shisan and others had arrived. Lu Ying hurried back on the way to the barracks after receiving the letter, while Bai Shisan and the others brought back a corpse. The two groups met halfway, and when Lu Ying heard that Bai Fuling was involved, she became a little anxious .

Yang Heng, Liedang, and Bai Fuling were all sitting in the hall of the government office. After Yang Heng found that Lu Ying came in in a hurry, the first thing he did was not to ask about his safety, but to quickly look at Bai Fuling carefully from top to bottom. , After confirming that she was safe and sound, the frown just relaxed a little.

In such an emergency situation, people's reactions are often the most direct. Yang Heng's safety is related to Lu Ying's family and life, but he still cares most about his step-sister, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Yang Heng raised his eyebrows, and felt various feelings in his heart, it was difficult to tell whether it was joy, anger, sourness or bitterness.

In the eyes of others, Lu Ying's behavior is not abnormal. He just paused after entering the hall and immediately went to greet Yang Heng. Most people didn't notice his abnormality. Lu Ying said a few words of entertainment.

In any case, Lu Ying was to blame for the one after another assassination of imperial envoys in the land under Lu Ying's administration, but Yang Heng probably understood the reason in his heart, and he didn't want to turn against Lu Ying at this time. So I didn't mean to blame Lu Ying, but I just hoped to catch the real culprit as soon as possible to avoid similar things from happening again.
