Wu Zuo Xiao Jiao Niang

Chapter 71 Jiang Yu's Assassination
Jiang Yu had been waiting at the entrance of the imperial city gate early in the morning. According to the time, the master and the others should be there today.

Xu Yanqi had just picked herbs from the mountain and went down the mountain. The city gate was the only place he had to pass through Huiwen Mansion.

Seeing Princess Nanyang's carriage waiting at the city gate, Xu Yanqi wondered if the junior sister was coming?
He also wanted to stay and wait to see his junior sister.

The servant girl of Nanyang Princess saw Xu Yanqi and spoke through the curtain of the carriage. After a while, Nanyang got down from the carriage and walked towards Xu Yanqi: "Master, why are you here?"

Xu Yanqi is dressed as a farmer and wearing a straw hat. She really doesn't look like a teacher from her charming and meticulous master!

"Is your master coming to the imperial city today?" Xu Yanqi felt a little hot, and took off his straw hat to wipe his sweat.I was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but I picked up the kettle and found that there was no water.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu asked her maid to fetch water from the carriage.

"Thank you!" Xu Yanqi raised his head and gulped water. At this moment, a disheveled woman rushed over and snatched his water and gulped it down.

Jiang Yu was startled, and only recognized this person after a closer look: "Master? How did you become like this?"

After Zhu Bei took a few sips of water, Qiu Lian, who was following her, took the water bottle she handed over and filled half of it.

Xu Yanqi was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Yu calling the person in front of him his master. Could it be that the master Jiang Yu was talking about was his little junior sister?
How could his little junior sister be so imageless?
After Zhu Bei drank water to quench his thirst, he wiped his face: "Don't mention it, Mosang, who just left Beili along the way, was chased and killed. He even escaped a wave just now."

Their current position is outside the gate of the city, and a group of people are about to set off to enter the imperial city, when a sudden change occurs.

A hidden arrow cut through the air and shot towards Jiang Yu.

Zhu Bei and Qiu Lian, who had escaped all the way, immediately pulled Jiang Yu and Xu Yanqi away reflexively.

"What's going on?" Zhu Bei wanted to ask, why would someone want to assassinate Jiang Yu?Or did the arrow miss when killing them?

"The target is not us." Qiu Lian judged the direction of the arrow, and the target was Jiang Yu.

No wonder Xiao Jun loves Princess Nanyang so much, even the two of them are so similar, they are always assassinated.

In the past, when Jiang Yu was in Mosang, she was often assassinated. If someone wanted to kill her, the Eastern Dynasty's protégé, they could use the excuse to force the Eastern Dynasty to raise troops.

This change at the gate of the city quickly attracted the attention of the gatekeepers, and they came towards this side.

The back arrow did not appear again, and they entered the imperial city smoothly under the protection of the gatekeepers.

"Do you know who it is?" Zhu Bei held the arrow in his hand, and there was no identification mark on it. Generally speaking, weapons like arrows were owned by various families, and their identification marks would be engraved on them.

"I don't know." Jiang Yu shook her head, she was also thinking that the person who offended recently was Xu Shuangshuang, but Xu Shuangshuang was in the palace, so it couldn't be her.

"Junior Sister..." Xu Yanqi wanted to ask her if she had been doing well these years, why she didn't come to see each other when she knew they had gone to Beili, and wanted to ask her if she put both of them at the gate of Miracle Doctor Valley.

"Senior brother, where do you live now?" Zhu Bei had to investigate who wanted Jiang Yu's life first, and had no time to catch up with his senior brother.Wait for her to deal with the matter before going to the senior brother.

"I live in Wenfu." Xu Yanqi was interrupted, seeing that her thoughts were all on Jiang Yu, and she thought of Shuang Shuang.It is impossible for Shuangshuang to be the daughter of Junior Sister. Junior Sister can care so much for a disciple who has no blood relationship. If Shuangshuang is her daughter, how can she be thrown at the gate of Miracle Doctor Valley?It is also impossible to know that they have gone to Beili and cannot come out to meet each other.

Xu Yanqi shook her head, and she vetoed the fact that Shuangshuang is the daughter of Junior Martial Sister.

"Senior Brother, I'll go to Wen Mansion to find you after my affairs are settled." Zhu Bei got into the carriage with Jiang Yu after finishing speaking.

No refusal!

Xu Yanqi smiled wryly. I haven't seen you for many years. The hot-tempered and stubborn temperament of my junior sister really hasn't changed at all!
Xie Ze was brought to Wen Mansion with a gift early in the morning. Mrs. Wen asked about the reason, and said that Xu Yanqi and his daughter saved his children and grandchildren in Hengzhou, and they never thanked him. This time, they made a special trip to invite them to the mansion , also said that his son will be back from Hengzhou soon.

Mrs. Wen nodded, no wonder Mr. Xie was able to stand by Shuangshuang's side last time he entered the palace. It turned out that there was such a karma in it.

"It's a pity that Dr. Xu has gone up the mountain. I don't know why he will come back." Mrs. Wen said: "When he comes back, I will tell him about your visit. As for whether he will go or not, this is not up to the old man to decide." .”

"Thank you, old lady, a small gift is not enough to show respect!" Xie Ze put the things he brought on the table and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Mrs. Wen asked the maid beside her to prepare to return the gift.

"Old lady, don't bother, you just accept it." Xie Ze, an old man, doesn't like to return gifts with others.He thought the old lady was a straightforward person, not like those ordinary women.

"That won't work. It's a courtesy to come and go. Mr. Xie, just wait a moment." Mrs. Wen lived to this age, and her piercing eyes have seen through the hypocrisy of many people.

Even if Xie Ze didn't appreciate their Wenfu's gift in return, he couldn't just accept it.Etiquette is a thing that comes and goes to be convincing and make people feel valued.

If she dared to let Mr. Xie go back empty-handed like this today, the people in the imperial city would arrange for her Wenfu to not even be able to give a decent gift in return.

No matter what the return gift is, it should not be too shabby.

Xie Ze is a literati, he understands these things, although he doesn't think there is any good return for a simple gift.But no one cares about too many gifts!
Mrs. Wen's return gift made him feel that this junior was valued, and he was really flattered.

Xie Ze returned home with Mrs. Wen's gift in return, and ran into Xu Yanqi as soon as he left the door.

"Master Xie, why are you here?" Xu Yanqi stepped forward to say hello. He is not a serious doctor, and ordinary doctors put on airs, but he is approachable.

"What a coincidence!" Xie Ze repeated what he had told the old lady.

"Really? Master Xie is going to be transferred back to the Imperial City, which is a good thing!" What about Xiaobai?Are you coming with them?Xu Yanqi was still thinking about that naughty brat.

But Shuangshuang should be leaving the palace soon, right?He had to stay in Wenfu and wait for Shuangshuang to come back: "After Shuangshuang comes out of the palace, we will visit together again."

"Then it's settled!" Xie Ze was very happy, although Dr. Xu couldn't be allowed to live in their Xie Mansion for a few days now, but he finally agreed.

"Master Xie, do you know if Master Xiao Xie is back, is there a young man named Xiao Bai with him?" I don't know how Xiao Bai is now?After they left Hengzhou, they had no contact with each other.

"Xiaobai?" Xie Ze frowned and thought deeply, "I haven't heard of it."

"That's okay, we'll know when the time comes!" Xu Yanqi thought, when Shuangshuang leaves the palace, she has to tell her about this so that she can be mentally prepared, and she doesn't know what Xiaobai thinks about Shuangshuang now.
