Chapter 307 Tao Yao Was Captive
Speaking of Heng'er, Tao Yao was also very worried.

But after knowing the emperor's purpose, she was somewhat relieved.

The emperor used Heng'er as bait to lure Rongniang out, but her life would not be in danger.

It's just that such a young child, being hung on the city gate like this, will have psychological shadows if he is put down at that time.

Thinking of this, she patted Lu Hao's head, and said softly, "Go back and find your ninth uncle and find a solution."

"Then let's go back quickly." Lu Hao grabbed her hand and said.

"Okay." Tao Yao nodded and bid farewell to everyone in the Tao family.

Sitting in the carriage on the return trip, Tao Yao was full of worries.

In fact, she didn't want to embarrass Lu Jiuyuan, but Heng'er, she couldn't do it, so she just sat by and watched.

For a moment, she felt conflicted.

"Uncle Jiu, should he go back to his residence at this time?" Lu Hao asked, looking out the window frequently.

"I don't know." Tao Yao shook her head.

"Aunt Jiu, are you in a difficult situation? Then when I see Uncle Jiu, I'll talk to Uncle Jiu." Lu Hao said seriously.

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, a little surprised at his sharpness, and then laughed and said, "It's not a problem, but I just asked Uncle Jiu to help, I'm afraid it won't help."

"Uncle Jiu is an important minister next to the emperor, if he pleads for the little prince, it should be of some use." Lu Hao frowned.

Tao Yao sighed inwardly.

The problem is, the emperor's purpose is to use Heng'er to catch Rong Niang.

"Ask later, but if your ninth uncle has no choice, don't make things difficult for him."

"Okay." Lu Hao lowered his head, very frustrated.

Tao Yao touched his head, feeling a little helpless.

The carriage was driving at a constant speed, but when it was about to arrive at Duke Lu's mansion, a shout came from outside, "If you don't want to die, get out!"

Tao Yao was startled, and just about to lift the curtain of the car, she heard Xi'er shout anxiously from outside: "Miss, don't come out, there are assassins!"

Before Tao Yao could react, she heard a few screams and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by someone who seemed to have landed on the shaft.

She took a tight breath, secretly grasped the dagger she was carrying, and embraced Lu Hao.

"Ninth Aunt, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Lu Hao suddenly bent over and pulled out a sharp dagger from his boots.

Before Tao Yao could say anything, someone lifted the curtain.

An assassin in black, bent over, was about to come in.

When Qian Jun shot, a cold sword pierced out obliquely, blocking the assassin's move.

The assassin was startled, obviously he didn't expect that there were also hidden guards.

The assassin quickly took a step back to avoid the attack of the hidden guards.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The sound of weapons being handed over is endless.

Taking advantage of the fact that the assassin was restrained, Xi'er quickly crawled in, "Miss, don't be afraid, it's Mo Die."

Tao Yao also thought of Mo Die.

But she didn't expect that Mo Die had been secretly protecting herself.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the inseparable fight between the two outside, and became a little worried.

Judging from the figure of the masked assassin, it should be a woman, but her martial arts are obviously not inferior to Mo Die.

"Miss, why don't we go first?" Xi'er asked for instructions.

Tao Yao hesitated.

Although she knew that the assassin was coming for her, she couldn't just leave Mo Die like this.

While hesitating, the assassin suddenly made a tricky sword move and stabbed Mo Die in the heart.

In order to avoid this ultimate move, Mo Die raised his sword to block, but the blade was broken by the opponent's internal force in an instant, and Mo Die stepped back a few steps, and his arm was scratched by the opponent's sword.

Bright red blood splashed out in an instant.

Tao Yao and the others saw it and screamed out.

Before Mo Die could react, the assassin flew to the carriage again.

Xi'er didn't even think about it, so she rushed forward and stood in front of Tao Yao.

The assassin lost his patience this time, so he swung his sword and slashed.

Tao Yao was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Stop! You just want to catch me, let them go, and I'll go with you!"

Hearing the words, the assassin drew back his sword, the corners of his mouth under the scarf seemed to twitch, he pushed Xi'er and Lu Hao away, reached out, and lifted Tao Yao's lapel, and flew up to the roof.

"Miss--"

"Aunt Nine—"

Xi'er and Lu Hao screamed.

Tao Yao only heard a few words, and the rest was only the sound of hunting. The assassin took her with her, and disappeared after a few leaps.

Mo Die clutched her injured arm, and was about to jump after her, but at this moment, a letter shot at her like a sharp arrow.

Startled, she turned sideways to avoid it.

"Tuk!"

The letter was nailed directly to the ground and buried three inches into the ground.

Seeing this, Mo Die was terrified.

When she fought against the assassin just now, she realized that the opponent's internal strength was unfathomable, and she was afraid that he could rival the Duke.

Now that she saw this letter that could sink three inches into the ground, it confirmed her guess even more.

She suppressed the surprise in her heart, quickly took out the letter, and quickly read it.

"Mo Die, why don't you chase after me?" Xi'er came back to her senses, and seeing her standing there, she was immediately anxious.

Lu Hao also looked at her eagerly.

Mo Die put away the letter, with a guilty expression on her face, "I can't catch up with the assassin." After finishing speaking, seeing the worried faces of the two, he said in relief, "But you don't need to worry too much, Madam will be fine for the time being."

"What?" Xi'er and Lu Hao both looked at her puzzled.

……

Lu Jiuyuan went to the military camp today and came back in the evening.

As soon as he came back, he saw Lu Hao, Xi'er, and Mo Die waiting anxiously by the gate of the mansion.

Seeing him coming back, the three rushed forward to meet him. Lu Hao cried until his eyes were swollen, "Uncle Jiu, why did you come back?"

"What's going on?" Lu Jiuyuan stretched out his hand to support him, and asked in a deep voice as he glanced at the injured Mo Die.

"Ninth Aunt has been kidnapped..." Lu Hao cried.

Mo Die knelt down on one knee, "This subordinate has neglected his duty and failed to protect Madam. Please punish the Duke."

Lu Jiuyuan's heart shook, and he asked coldly, "When did it happen?"

"Just now." Xi'er answered first, "Madam went back to Tao Mansion today, and on the way back, suddenly an assassin appeared, wounded Mo Die, and took Madam away."

"This is the letter left by the assassin, please read it." Mo Die held up both hands and presented the letter to him.

Lu Jiuyuan accepted the letter with a frosty face.

After a while, he rubbed the letter in his hands, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Uncle Jiu, what's the matter, what did the letter say?" Lu Hao asked anxiously.

He just wanted to read the letter, but Mo Die refused to let him, and he didn't know what the letter said.

"It's okay, you go back and rest first." After a long while, Lu Jiuyuan said calmly, but the back of his hand holding the letter was bulging.

Xi'er and Lu Hao didn't understand the reasoning, and seeing him so calm, they were a little puzzled, "But madam (Ninth Aunt), what should I do?"

Mo Die, who had read the letter, clenched her fists.

Now the Duke is afraid that he will tear the assassin's heart apart, but the wife can only use the weapon of caution in the hands of the assassin.

Thinking about it, she stopped Xi'er and Lu Hao who wanted to ask more questions, and said softly: "The Duke has his own decision, let's go in first."
