Chapter 174 Self-defeating
Siqing said lightly, "Did you kill someone?"

"I'll kill..." Gui Yizhong scratched his head, "Oh yes, I killed someone! Originally, I didn't kill people who don't know martial arts and haven't done evil things. Today... make an exception for him." After finishing speaking, he pointed at Zheng Yiqin .

Siqing was speechless and asked the sky, a hysterical patient who was delirious found a drunk who was drunk to assassinate him, what is the situation?
Cheng Yingzhou looked around vigilantly, and Siqing said again: "The principle is good. Except for those who don't know how to fight and don't do evil things, why don't you kill anyone?"

Gui Yizhong said: "The rules of the rivers and lakes, don't kill women and children!"

Siqing said to Cheng Yingzhou, "I can go."

Before Cheng Yingzhou could speak, Gui Yizhong stabbed forward in a daze, "It's not that... hiccup... easy!"

Cheng Yingzhou hastily drew out his sword to block, Siqing lightly jumped away, "You nameless rat, turn your ears back."

Gui Yizhong was furious, "Who is the nameless rat?!" After speaking, he slashed at Siqing again. Siqing's short sword was unsheathed, the blade was rolled upside down, and his clothes were fluttering, while blocking Gui Yizhong's long sword. People have already retreated to the corner of the room, and the bell of picking cards is ringing in their ears.

Cheng Yingzhou was shocked, and whispered: "Your Highness, let our people come in."

Siqing shook her head, "Zheng Yiqin must have been instigated to do this. Once the imperial army makes a big noise, there must be people nearby who will coordinate and quickly make a big mess. I come to Zheng's mansion, and everyone in the court knows, how will it end then?"

After finishing speaking, Gui Yizhong made another sword strike, Cheng Yingzhou drew his sword to block. On the one hand, he was afraid that the black-clothed swordsman next to him would make a sudden attack, and on the other hand, he wanted to call the imperial army to enter. Xiang Siqing's throat.

Cheng Yingzhou trembled in shock, but fortunately Siqing swung Gui Yizhong's sword with a flick of his sleeve and rolled behind Gui Yizhong.At this time, the swordsman in black was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Gui Yizhong.Siqing is like the moon in the water and stabs at Gui Yizhong.Gui Yizhong's strikes are no longer sharp, which is quite teasing, Si Qing is sending the sword forward, cruising around with his wrists, wide sleeves fluttering, and elegant demeanor.Normally, Cheng Yingzhou must pay attention to the subtlety of this move, but at the moment he has no thoughts, because he also knows that Siqing's showmanship is not easy to use, so he ignores Siqing's eyes, and flies to pick Gui Yizhong's blade.

At this time, Gui Yizhong snorted, and asked Siqing: "You—what do you have to do with Xuanwei's old bull noses? Are you Kun Dao?"

Siqing said, "Do you think I look like a Taoist nun?"

Gui Yizhong shook his head again and again, "It doesn't look like it." After speaking, Siqing pushed Cheng Yingzhou away, swayed the blade of the sword, and turned around to avoid it with a flick of the wrist.

Now Zheng Yiqin was also stunned, Gui Yizhong shook his head and asked Zheng Yiqin, "Brother, did you make a mistake?" He then asked Siqing, "How do you know the way of swordsmanship?"

Zheng Yiqin was stunned for a moment, then said: "That's right, that's right, kill her!"

Gui Yizhong threw the sword away, "No, I won't kill Lao Niubi's disciples and grandchildren!"

It turned out that Gui Yizhong had a close relationship with Xuan Weiguan. Although he didn't know Fu Linchuan, he still refused to attack Siqing, so he asked Zheng Yiqin, "Why did you kill her?"

Zheng Yiqin said: "There is no reason."

Gui Yizhong said: "That can't be done, it's against my way of doing things if I fight with the girl's house, I won't kill Xuan Weiguan."

Seeing the drunkard and the hysterical patient fighting among themselves, the scene is very strange.Cheng Yingzhou remembered that Gu Liangfen was quite familiar with Gui Yizhong, and understood the reason why Gui Yizhong didn't do anything now.He glanced at Si Qing, who was staring at Zheng Yiqin, thinking that Gui Yizhong didn't know his identity, it seemed that Zheng Yiqin was really confused.

Zheng Yiqin said crazily: "Kill her! Kill her quickly!" At this time, the black-clothed assassins next to him drew their swords one after another, Cheng Yingzhou's eyes were red with anxiety, but Gui Yizhong shook his head like a child bickering, "No, no, Don't kill Zhong Nanshanxuanwei!" As soon as the words fell, several swords from the black-clothed assassin inserted into Gui Yizhong's body without warning.

This was too sudden, I didn't expect Zheng Yiqin to have such internal strife around him, I didn't expect Zheng Yiqin to really kill the killer, and he was as agile as Cheng Yingzhou on the scene, so he didn't even notice it.

Gui Yizhong fell to the ground without a sound, and Siqing was furious, "You are really insane!"

Zheng Yiqin said with a wry smile: "He, no way. What is it without him?"

After Gui Yizhong fell to the ground, the swordsman in black separated Siqing, Cheng Yingzhou and Zheng Yiqin, and surrounded Siqing and Cheng Yingzhou.Zheng Yiqin picked his nose and slanted, his expression was almost ghostly, Si Qing said to Cheng Yingzhou: "I will never provoke a lunatic again, there is nothing I can do about it!"

Cheng Yingzhou said: "Why are these people not moving? Are there still experts in the room?"

Speaking of this, he felt chills all over his body, glanced at Gui Yizhong who was lying in a pool of blood, and thought that if there were still masters, he didn't notice it at all, how terrifying!He quickly thought about the way to send Si Qing out, while Si Qing muttered something, and suddenly said to Zheng Yiqin: "There is a person behind you!"

The crazy Zheng Yiqin said: "Nonsense!"

Siqing said solemnly: "Look, 'Don't Drunk, No Return' is right behind you, patting your left shoulder."

Her tone was flat, Zheng Yiqin didn't respond, but the black-clothed swordsmen in the room turned their heads one after another, and then looked at Gui Yizhong who was covered in blood on the ground. Siqing and Cheng Yingzhou took the opportunity to push the door out. Who knew there was a silver coin among the black-clothed swordsmen? The needle shot out in the opposite direction, and in the gap blocked by Cheng Yingzhou, two black-clothed swordsmen had jumped to the door and surrounded Siqing and Cheng Yingzhou.

Zheng Yiqin laughed loudly and said: "I can't run away, I can't run away, looking at the capital, there are really not many people who are your opponents, General Cheng, but there are people out there—"

Siqing tried to reason with the lunatic: "Are you going to kill me or Cheng Yingzhou? If you have no grievances with Cheng Yingzhou, then why not—"

Cheng Yingzhou said anxiously: "Your Highness!"

Zheng Yiqin said: "Your Highness, if you are dead, he will definitely not survive. The old man has become a villain, and he will go to the [-]th floor of hell. I don't care about multiple lives, I don't care."

Siqing thought to herself that this doesn't look crazy again, could it be an act?Who knows that Zheng Yiqin cried in the next second: "What's going on? Why didn't the sword come?"

At this time, Cheng Yingzhou broke the window suddenly, intending to call the imperial guards from the outer court to enter, but unexpectedly, a figure like a wild goose landed on the beam of the room. This person was wearing a light textured bead gray soft brocade robe, and his figure was extremely fast.

Immediately afterwards, a decisive long sword was placed on Zheng Yiqin's neck, "Here comes the sword."

Zheng Yiqin trembled all over, and the black-clothed assassins also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Suddenly a steel dart flew towards Siqing's left side, Siqing couldn't dodge it in time, and Cheng Yingzhou didn't have time to go forward and shoot down Siqing.The man who was holding Zheng Yiqin rolled up his sleeves, and the hand holding Zheng Yiqin did not let go, but he knocked the steel whip dart on Siqing's side to the ground.

Cheng Yingzhou was dumbfounded.

Seeing that the steel dart scratched the opponent's sleeve, Siqing was shocked and said, "Uncle!"

The other party shook his head, "It's okay, it's just a scratch, and there's no poison on it."

Only then did Siqing heave a sigh of relief, covered in cold sweat, almost collapsed, and said weakly: "It's useless for you to hold him hostage. Since he dared to launch such a battle to kill me, he was already prepared to be punished by the nine clans. He If you were afraid of death, you wouldn't assassinate me."

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Wu Zhenying.

Siqing made two Taoist robes out of bead gray brocade before, and gave one to each of Fu Linchuan and Wu Zhenying, and Wu Zhenying is still wearing it at the moment.Wu Zhenying said: "It seems really crazy."

Siqing stepped forward to bandage Wu Zhenying's wound, "You are right, he is suffering from hysteria and needs to see a doctor. Why are you here?"

Before Cheng Yingzhou could react, he scanned the surroundings with gloomy eyes, but Siqing understood: So this Zheng Yiqin, a senior official to the prime minister, tried to ask Wu Zhenying to assassinate him?

But this is obviously a good plan. After all, Wu Zhenying is very skilled. It is really not easy to find a master in the Imperial Capital who has an absolute chance of winning against Cheng Yingzhou.

But looking at Wu Zhenying's expression, it seemed that he didn't know that Zheng Yiqin asked him to assassinate him. Siqing looked at Wu Zhenying, suddenly curious about the value of her life?
Wu Zhenying was still holding the mad Zheng Yiqin hostage, the black-clothed assassins around looked at each other, Si Qing looked at Cheng Yingzhou with soothing eyes, and repeated: "It's useless for you to hold him hostage."

Zheng Yiqin asked Wu Zhenying: "Are you crazy?"

Wu Zhenying remained expressionless, "I think I should ask you this question."

What Zheng Yiqin wanted to say, Wu Zhenying said to Siqing first: "It's useful or not, you'll know if you try it. There are only a few people, you can't solve it?" After speaking, his eyes slid to the bottom of Siqing's sleeve, obviously seeing that Siqing dagger in his sleeve.

Cheng Yingzhou didn't know what Wu Zhenying's words meant, so he blinked in doubt, while Siqing drew his sword and stabbed the black-clothed assassin.

Siqing swung her sword and flower, her long sleeves were like the wind, she raised her wrist sideways, and killed the black-clothed assassin in front of her first.This blow was as fast as lightning, but it was still restrained by the sword edge of another assassin on the right.Cheng Yingzhou joined the team battle with a move of "Suddenly Shocked", and the two teamed up to lower the long sword, only to see a silver light flashing.Cheng Yingzhou's moves were quick, ruthless and precise, and he was capable of killing, killing all the black-clothed assassins in a short time.

Siqing looked around the room full of blood, Cheng Yingzhou trembled in fright, the long sword in Wu Zhenying's hand slowly left Zheng Yiqin's neck, and knocked him unconscious, "That's right, ten years of hard work have not been wasted."

Siqing smiled and said, "Thank you uncle for your compliment."

Cheng Yingzhou felt that the danger was extremely dangerous just now, and Wu Zhenying said, "What should he do?"

Siqing's expression turned cold, and she said quietly, "Don't worry, I won't be as knowledgeable as a lunatic."

Cheng Yingzhou's hands trembled, and his long sword fell to the ground.He finally came back to his senses, bent down and picked up the long sword, only to hear Si Qing say: "How much money does he offer you?"

Cheng Yingzhou staggered, Wu Zhenying choked on Si Qing's indecency, ignored Si Qing and said: "If I know he asked me to kill you, I will kill him first."

"Don't, don't, don't," Si Qing said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as a lunatic."

Wu Zhenying looked around and said, "Let's go, I'll take care of the corpse."

Siqing hurriedly said, "Don't really kill him."

"You still want to keep him?"

"He is going to die, and he can't have anything to do with you or me."

Wu Zhenying asked: "What are you doing here?"

Siqing said: "He said his wife was seriously ill, I'll come and see his wife."

Wu Zhenying was speechless: "His wife has passed away!"

Siqing sheathed her sword, "I was tricked by him. If he hadn't hired you as the assassin, I would have been in trouble today." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Cheng Yingzhou, "Old Cheng, you go out first."

Cheng Yingzhou scanned the surroundings, bowed to leave, and Siqing said to Wu Zhenying: "Don't tell Uncle Fu about today's matter, and don't let others know. Zheng Yiqin really..."

Wu Zhenying said, "I know."

Siqing said: "I thought you and Uncle Fu had gone back to Tonghe, and there was only Uncle Lu in Beijing."

Wu Zhenying said: "I thought Xuan Bin would come back in the next few days. I wanted to meet her, and I will go to Tonghe again." After he finished speaking, he hesitated.

As soon as Si Qing heard it, Wu Zhenying knew about Jiang Feng's separation from Shen Jiangdong, "There was chaos a few days ago, didn't anything happen to you?"

Wu Zhenying shook her head, "What happened the other day?"

Siqing said: "I'm really lucky. I have been helped by noble people frequently recently, otherwise I will die." After finishing speaking, he said, "A few days ago, people in Dingnan Fan made trouble and held up Sun Pingfu's flag. Do you know that? A group of people think that I and the rebellious Sun Pingfu are cooperating...or else Zheng Yiqin jumped out today and wanted to kill me, I don’t know who’s instigated it.”

Wu Zhenying said, "Be careful yourself."

"I know," Siqing said, "I can't stand being scolded. I'm going to pack up and go out of Beijing to pretend to be sick for two days. It's a good deal." The reason why Siqing was careless this day was also because she finally received Xiao Yi's handwritten letter, which made her float when she was excited.She knew that Xiao Yi would return to the Imperial Capital in the near future, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she didn't want to get involved in these things anymore.

Wu Zhenying nodded, "Anyway, don't be careless, be careful."

Si Qing shrank back slightly, made a speech with Wu Zhenying, and left Zheng Yiqin's mansion "without any surprise".

On the way back to the confinement, Siqing said to Cheng Yingzhou: "It's so dangerous. Since Xining entered Beijing in 13 years, how many times have I encountered an assassin? Why did I commit an assassin?"

Cheng Yingzhou apologized, Siqing said: "Third brother will return to Beijing soon, big things can be decided."

After Siqing left Zheng Yiqin's mansion, she first informed Concubine Ding'an of the news that Xiao Yi was about to return to Beijing, and a stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

After the chaos, some people became even more resentful of Siqing's act of using Sun Pingfu, thinking that Siqing's insistence on using Sun Pingfu caused conflicts with the clan's relatives, which intensified Xiao Xuqi's army in Prince Kang's mansion to disrupt the capital.Some people even thought that Sun Pingfu and the queen were going to rebel together. Fortunately, it was not long before the army reported that Sun Pingfu and his party had already passed Xijing.There were also one or two people who spoke for Siqing, thinking that when Xiao Xu secretly hoarded troops in Prince Kang's mansion, Sun Pingfu had not yet escaped, and his evil intentions had occurred early, which had nothing to do with the queen.

However, Siqing's situation is always bad no matter what, so she decided to go to Yuquan Palace to avoid the limelight, commonly known as "recovering from illness".

The reason for choosing Yuquan Palace is that Yuquan is the place Xiao Yi must pass through when returning to Beijing, and it is not too far away from the capital, so there is still time to return to Beijing in time if something happens.After Zheng Yiqin failed to assassinate Siqing, the Jingwei in the city became more vigilant.Bai Luchu found out that the black-clothed assassin next to Zheng Yiqin had sneaked into the city from outside Beijing, so Cheng Yingzhou was ordered to handle customs affairs in the suburbs of Beijing and strictly guard the gates of the imperial capital.

Although Concubine Ding'an persuaded Siqing to wait for Cheng Yingzhou to return to Beijing, and Cheng Yingzhou led the forbidden army to escort Siqing to Yuquan, but Siqing thought that Cheng Yingzhou was incapable of doing so, and insisted on leaving for Yuquan Palace immediately.
