Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 61 "The Strong Man" (Part [-])
"Ah!" Lily, who was shivering in the corner, exclaimed, and blindfolded all of a sudden.

Ji Wuyan bit her teeth hard, flicked her fingertips slightly, and shot the pearls from the pearl hairpin from Li Yuqi's head silently to Li Yuqi's knee.

Li Yuqi suffered from pain in his knees, his feet were weak, and he fell to the ground in response, while the "strong man" who clamored to save His Highness the Crown Prince rushed towards him...

"Pfft..."

Slight, but piercing, the dull pain of the dagger piercing into the flesh.

One of the few thugs in the teahouse, Xiaoer, finally arrived, the assassin saw that the stab would not succeed, even the dagger was thrown away, he turned around and tried to escape, but he accidentally stepped on a jade bead that rolled out of nowhere, and his foot slipped , fell straight forward, and rushed towards the injured "strong man"...

Another dull toothache.

The dagger... plunged in again, and the "strong man" who had the courage to save someone finally rolled his eyes and fainted.

A suicide, and finally ended up like a farce.

The thugs in the teahouse surrounded the assassin, and he was tied up and thrown in the corner. Only then did Ji Wuyan recognize the "strong man" who rushed in clamoring. Unexpectedly, it was... just met today Yes, Lu Jiangjiang.

As for Li Yuqi, sitting in the main seat, his face was as black as ink.

The word "Prince" that Lu Jiangjiang shouted when he rushed in at that time completely revealed his identity.Yang Shaofei, who arrived belatedly, bowed and waited by her side, her calf trembling faintly.

According to what he said, he didn't see the shopkeeper when he went downstairs, and he felt unwell for a while, so he went to the toilet, which was the delay.When explaining, he was kneeling, and his head was knocked so hard that blood oozed from his forehead.

It can be seen that it is really scary.

Ziqiu was the last to come back. She was still waiting in the dining room for a dish of the girl's favorite anchovy shark's fin to come out of the pot. When the news of the prince's assassination reached the dining room, she heard that the assassin had been arrested, so she was not in a hurry and had time to spare. He continued to watch the chef cook, and did not forget to comfort the chef whose hands were shaking even after adding salt.

She knew the girl's martial arts well. Ordinary assassins were no match. What's more, Cen Yan was still watching in the dark. When it came to fighting and killing, she was the safest and most at ease.

Therefore, Ziqiu appeared with that anchovy fin.

It's just that I didn't expect that the identity of the prince was exposed, and the atmosphere in the room was a little dignified. This dish is not suitable for eating.

Ji Wuyan and Ruoshui stood in the corner, and they didn't communicate with anyone except after a little salute at first.On the contrary, Ruoshui's intentional or unintentional blocking of her tea at the end made Ji Wuyan a little uncertain about the other party's intentions.

The people from the yamen came very quickly, and they were old acquaintances.

Song Yuanqing, Master Song.

The scene is clear at a glance, everyone has been arrested, and it is enough to take them back and torture them to find out the mastermind behind it. It can be seen that His Royal Highness is still in shock. There is no other party, and the one lying there at this moment is me, so Yu Zu, whose identity was exposed, dispersed a little, and told Song Yuanqing, "Over there, you go to the Lu family for Ben Gong, and don't say anything else, just say it's to save you." Ben Gong is injured, and Ben Gong will visit him in person later on."

"Yes. Then... the lower officials will lead people to take the first step." After thinking about it, he decided to keep some people behind, and then said, "There are people from the yamen downstairs guarding, don't worry, Your Highness. They will take you Escorted back to the palace safely."

Li Yuqi nodded, and replied in a low voice, "En."

The farce is over, it kind of means that you are singing and I will appear on the stage, it is unexpectedly messy, and it is useless to stay any longer.

Ji Wuyan stepped forward and bowed her knees, "I didn't know that you were His Highness the Crown Prince, how much you offended me, but I hope you will be a large number, so don't worry about it. Now that this matter is over, my daughter will leave first."

The words are gentle, but the posture is stubborn, and it seems that there is a little immature temper like a little girl caused by the other party's concealment.

Li Yuqi raised his hand, didn't say anything after all, just nodded his head and said hello, and then told Song Yuanqing, "Master Song, please send the girls back to Fengchenju by the way."

Lily did not follow.

Ji Wuyan and Ruoshui got into Song Yuanqing's carriage, the two girls were very quiet, they must have been frightened.

Song Yuanqing also had no experience in comforting girls. She opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know what to say, and then closed her mouth embarrassingly. In the end, she just poured tea and silently pushed it in front of everyone, including Ziqiu.

Ji Wuyan took the hot tea, held it in his hand, and then said, "This is the closest to Fengchenju, and it is also the direction to go back to the Yamen. My lord will send Ruoshui back to Fengchenju first, then go to my errands, and finally send me back to the yamen. The eastern suburbs."

"Eastern suburb?"

"Well, I moved house recently and live in the eastern suburbs."

At that time, the teahouse was very close to the eastern suburbs, but now the carriage had traveled a long way, and it was a delay to return.

Song Yuanqing was a little uncertain for a while whether Ji Wuyan came to his senses after being frightened, or whether he deliberately arranged this way to talk to him about the case.

So he just nodded his head and said hello.

Ruoshui didn't refuse either. The girl who was very familiar on weekdays, sitting in the carriage belonging to the yamen, looked like a quail whose feathers had died down after being wet by the rain.

I was speechless all the way, and only bent my knees when I got out of the car, as a thank you.

Seeing Ruoshui entered Fengchenju and the carriage was on the road again, Ji Wuyan still didn't speak, just sipping the tea that might have been cold.

Song Yuanqing wanted to add more tea several times, but for some reason, seeing Ji Wuyan like this, he couldn't open his mouth several times. He thought, after all, this is a girl's house. When encountering such a thing, it is already very difficult to maintain his superficial composure. It's not easy anymore.

It seems that just now I was really just worrying too much.

It wasn't until the carriage was led out of the city by Ziqiu, seeing that the destination was arriving, that Ji Wuyan finally put down the teacup he had been holding all the way, raised his eyes to meet Song Yuanqing's gaze, and whispered, "My lord."

Speak calmly and calmly.

Song Yuanqing subconsciously sat up straight, "Please tell me, girl." After speaking, she was also surprised by this almost instinctive behavior.

"Lily was invited today, and my little girl didn't know His Highness would come...The incident happened suddenly, so my little girl pretended not to know His Highness's identity." She narrowed her eyebrows and lied about the last move, and then said, "It's just my lord, Your Highness just came here on a whim Yes, how did the assassin know about it? And how did this Zhuang... this Mr. Lu know that His Highness will be assassinated at this time and at this place?"

Song Yuan's green eyes were slightly condensed, and it was the first time he took a serious look at this girl... The carriage was a little bumpy on the small road, but the girl's back was straight and motionless, with a bit of an unyielding demeanor.
