Chapter 52 Attacked
"This is extortion, I can't ignore it." The blue-robed man jumped onto the chair and pointed at the two people on the stage.

Zhao Shuang thought it was really unlucky to meet this nosy man again, and the gold he got flew away.

Cheng Qian didn't wear an official uniform today, but wore a navy blue brocade robe. His demeanor was a bit gentler, but he still had a strong aura. He stood on the chair and said, "Miss Bing'er, Yongchanghou will give you 20 taels of silver today, you'd better accept it." Leave, otherwise, I will punish you for extortion!"

The two people on the stage were a little panicked when they heard the words.If this matter becomes serious, if the prince finds out, he will die.

Zhao Shuang decided to take it as soon as it was good, and replied loudly, "20 taels is 20 taels, Binger, let's go!"

Chen Yang, who was in the audience, breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and told Xing Bai to get the silver, and sent the two of them out the back door.

The engagement banquet turned out like this, and Honghu went back to the house sullenly, leaving only Chen Yang to greet the guests.

The guests were also embarrassed, and after sitting for a while, they all got up and said goodbye.

Zhao Shuang and Bing Ji walked out of the back door of the Hou Mansion, holding a dim oil-paper lantern, and walked on the path to Shangjing.

The Yongchang Marquis Mansion is located in a remote place, and no one can be seen on this small road at this time, and the wind is blowing.

Zhao Shuang looked around vigilantly, but didn't see anything, thinking that she was overthinking.

"Bing Ji, take these silver taels away." Zhao Shuang thought of Cai Honghu's angry face just now, and felt relieved, "You should take it."

"Princess, what kind of enmity do you have with the Marquis of Yongchang, and you want to humiliate him like this?" Bing Ji recalled the gentle and elegant young Marquis, but she still felt a little bit reluctant in her heart, "I feel that Marquis is the one ...He is good-looking and kind-hearted, he is a rare gentleman."

"You must not be deceived by his appearance. Chen Changsheng is sinister and vicious, and he is good at disguising. After you return to the residence today, don't leave the residence again, lest you leak your whereabouts and be retaliated by him."

Zhao Shuang was talking, when suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing, and his back felt cold.

"Princess!" Bing Ji pointed at a masked figure in front of her, her voice trembling, "That... is he here to take revenge on us?"

Zhao Shuang thought it wouldn't be so fast. Besides, the masked man was shorter than Chen Yang and taller than Hong Hu, so it shouldn't be the two of them.

"Bing Ji, go back to your house and report the news! Leave it to me!" Zhao Shuang pushed Bing Ji into an alley next to her, "Go!"

"Princess, take care!" Bing Ji fled for her life with the lantern in hand, Zhao Shuang's eyes suddenly darkened.

There are no houses in the dark alley, only a few pear trees lining the road, which are bare at this time, with a few rays of dark moonlight shining through.

Zhao Shuang held her breath, and could feel the wind blowing from the soles of the masked man's feet, approaching her directly.

She hastily dropped the xylophone in her hand, and frantically started making seals.

"Stop!" He casually formed a body imprint and threw it out, but the masked man didn't stop, but showed a sharp dagger in his hand.

A cold light flashed in Zhao Shuang's eyes.

Oops!Changing the body, the holding spell doesn't work anymore!
Another cold light flashed by her ear, and the dagger was less than a punch away from her neck. Zhao Shuang couldn't dodge and instinctively closed her eyes.

"Clang!" The sound of metal joining cut through the air.

She touched the amulet on her wrist, the thread was not broken, then raised her head, and saw the flames of a lantern behind her, and a long bronze sword was blocking her.

It was the sword that deflected the dagger.In a blink of an eye, the green-robed man behind him unleashed several swords, knocking the dagger in the masked man's hand to the ground.

The man's sword aura was overwhelming, and the masked man fell to his knees, retreated a foot away while kneeling on one knee, and a bloodstain was drawn on the ground.

"Brave maniac! Dare to commit murder on Shangjing Street!" The man yelled, and the masked man retreated when he saw that he was no match.

I couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, but this person's figure and voice... seemed to be Cheng Qian!

Zhao Shuang froze all over, raised her head to take a look, then quickly lowered her head.

Seeing the masked man leave, the man in Tsing Yi went to the grass behind him and brought a lantern over.

"Thanks to this hero for saving me." Zhao Shuang cupped his hands and made a bow, hesitantly daring to raise his head.

"Still looking down? I recognized you a long time ago! Aren't you the musician who blackmailed people just now?" Cheng Qian approached her face with a lantern and took two shots. ..."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Shuang hurriedly responded, and turned to look for her xylophone.

Halfway through the man's words, he chased her for a while, and suddenly pointed at her in surprise, "You...you didn't expect that you were not only extorting money, but also...disguising yourself as a man!"

She hurriedly covered her face with her hand, but it was too late, most of the beard on her lips fell off, so she had to cover it with her sleeve, and said in a deep voice, "I'll repay the favor of saving my life in the future, I still have something to do, let's go first!"

"Wait!" Cheng Qian caught up to her a few more steps with a lantern in his hand, "Where do you live? I will give you a ride, lest the assassin come back again."

Since this person is a woman, and it is night now, and the capital has been haunted recently, I should show some grace and send her back.

Zhao Shuang's face was full of reluctance, and he still covered half of his face with his hands, and declined, "This hero, the assassin has been frightened for a long time, and he won't come back..."

"It's not peaceful in the capital recently, I'd better send you back to rest assured." The man leaned closer to her handsome face, staring at her carefully.

Zhao Shuang was trembling and broke out in a cold sweat when he saw him.

Before she went out today, she purposely smeared some dark pot bottom ash on her face, and drew thick eyebrows. Although half of the fake beard fell off, half of it was still stuck, so he probably couldn't recognize herself.

"Where's that Bing'er girl just now? If you have a companion, go back by yourself." Seeing her trembling, Cheng Qian thought she was a boudoir girl, but when he saw that he was a man, he was afraid, so he couldn't send her off by force. go back.

As soon as Cheng Qian finished speaking, Bing Ji poked her head out from the alley next to her, looked left and right, saw that there was no danger, she ran out with her bag in her arms, and knelt down in front of Zhao Shuang.

"Why haven't you run away?" Zhao Shuang glanced at her resentfully.

"If you have something to do, Bing Ji dare not live alone..." Bing Ji said aggrievedly, mist rose in her eyes.

Seeing that these two people looked like master and servant, Cheng Qian thought to himself, could this woman be the lady of some rich family, and Miss Bing'er is her maid?

"Get up." Zhao Shuang pulled Bingji up, and said to the man in Tsing Yi, "Thank you hero for saving me today, I can go back with Bing'er. Please come back, hero."

"It's still not safe for the two girls to walk at night..." Cheng Qian scratched his head and thought for a while, then suddenly had an idea, "How about...let me lend you my lantern?"

There have been several strange things happening in the city recently, and they are all near this Lihua Lane. The lanterns in Qingyu Temple are said to be able to ward off evil spirits.

Zhao Shuang just wanted to get rid of him quickly, so she winked at Bing Ji, and Bing Ji took the lantern over, holding two lanterns each.

"Thank you, hero." Zhao Shuang saluted, and pulled Bing Ji away quickly.

 I found that every time I saw a large comment, I panicked, rubbing my little hands together nervously, as if reading a teacher's comment.

  Unified reply: 7451 behind reader group number 32483 (don't block me)

  But there are not many people in the group, and there is no important information released in the group, and I seldom take care of the group. It has been a long time since no one has spoken, so it doesn't matter if you join or not.
