Chapter 196 Assassination (1)

When Ban Xiyu heard the plot coming from not far away, she suddenly lost the mood to eat.She put down her chopsticks and looked up at Wen Jisheng.The two looked at each other silently, with unprecedented solemnity in their eyes.

She didn't expect this group of people to go after Fu Guan and Lou Xiyue, let alone let them run into each other halfway.

Ban Xiyu lost his appetite, so he gave Wen Jisheng a look, and after the two of them had used it hastily, they took the burden and turned to walk up the road to the guest room in the backyard.

But they didn't go back to the guest room immediately, but turned back halfway.Wen Jisheng led Ban Xiyu to the attic on the second floor quietly, and the two looked down from a height, watching every move of the thugs.

"He who comes is not kind, and those who are kind do not come - it seems that this time, someone deliberately did not want King Xuan Ping and Lou Xiyue to arrive at Nanhuai Mansion safely." Wen Jisheng said.

Ban Xiyu: "In your opinion, is the mastermind behind it aiming to kill someone, or delaying it?"

Wen Jisheng shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure. If you want to kill, these people alone are not enough - think about it, King Xuan Ping went south, there must be a lot of elites around him, just these few mobs, I'm afraid Lou Xiyue won't be able to survive a few tricks."

Ban Xiyu: "Then they are deliberately delaying the time for King Xuan Ping to go south." But she changed her mind and thought, it would be difficult for these people alone to delay the pace of Prince Xuan Ping's residence.

"If their purpose is really that simple, then it's okay." Wen Jisheng said: "I'm afraid that the killers sent by the main envoy will not be limited to this group."

What Wen Jisheng was worried about was not unreasonable.

"Just now they mentioned Guiyan Village in their words," Ban Xiyu speculated: "If there are really other killers who join forces to deal with King Xuanping, Guiyan Village must be where they will finally attack."

Wen Jisheng: "Since this is the case, we need to set off as soon as possible, otherwise Lou Xiyue may be in danger if we take a step at night."

Ban Xiyu nodded heavily, and the two of them immediately went to the backyard to fetch the horses without taking a rest, and drove north overnight!

After several days of rushing, the people of Xuanping Prince's Mansion finally stopped in a small town north of Huaijiang Mansion.The town is called Guiyan Village, and it is only half a day's walk from Huaijiang Mansion.

Originally, Fu Guan planned to rush to Huaijiang Mansion this evening, but unfortunately, there was a heavy rain on the way, which delayed the trip, and they had no choice but to rest at Guiyan Manor for a night.

The county magistrate of the town got the letter and knew that King Xuanping was going to stay here, so he went out of the city to greet him immediately.

"Oh, my lord is here, and the officials are far away to greet me, so please don't blame me." County magistrate Lin led the way until he brought King Xuanping and others outside the posthouse:

"This time, I'm in a hurry, and I'm not in time to prepare, so I have to ask the prince and the concubine to rest in the post house for a while. When the officials are ready, I will invite the prince and the concubine to stay in the humble house if necessary."

Lin County Magistrate was afraid of neglecting the honored guests, and immediately said: "But please rest assured, my lord, although the post house is a bit rudimentary, it has all the furnishings that should be available. If you have any orders from your lord and empress, just tell me the next official, and the next official will definitely It's been done so well for you!"

Fu Guan waved his hand and said: "You don't need to pay attention to these vain etiquettes. The king only stays for one night and will leave tomorrow, so don't bother."

County Magistrate Lin looked at Lou Xiyue cautiously, and said hesitantly, "Then the officer..."

At this time, Lou Xiyue stepped into the hall with Qingshuang's support, followed by a group of attendants.Lou Xiyue smiled slightly and said: "It's rare to be able to manage the post house in such an orderly manner. It's getting late now, the county magistrate doesn't have to wait here.

"If there is any need, the guards of the palace will notify you at any time. Thank you, the county magistrate, for your hospitality. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest earlier."

County magistrate Lin smiled obsequiously.He rubbed the hands hidden under his sleeves lightly, and said: "This... Please forgive me for being abrupt, but actually I still have a few things to ask the lord, but I don't know if the lord will be free..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the attendant beside County Magistrate Lin suddenly coughed softly: "My lord, the prince is tired from traveling all the way, why don't you let him rest for a while, and it will not be too late to ask for instructions tomorrow."

County Magistrate Lin thought to himself, this giant Buddha will leave for the south tomorrow, and everyone says that King Xuanping is the most dedicated to his duties. The flood in Nanhuai Prefecture is so urgent, will he tolerate the delay of the trip?

He has been an official for many years, and his promotion is nowhere in sight. Now that he has finally met King Xuan Ping, when will he hug this golden thigh at this moment?

"But I..." County magistrate Lin wanted to fight again, but before he could finish speaking, someone rushed to report:
"My lord, there is a commotion in the prison, master, please go back quickly!"

County Magistrate Lin: "..."

There are no good things to come, but a lot of bad things.

At this moment, Fu Guan turned around to look at County Magistrate Lin, and said: "The business is urgent, let's put aside other matters first. If Master Lin has something urgent to discuss with the king, you can go to the posthouse to discuss it tomorrow morning , when the time comes, the king will wait here."

With Fu Guan's promise, the stone in Lin County Magistrate's heart fell to the ground for the time being.He pleaded guilty to Fu Guan, and hurriedly followed his subordinates to the county government office.

After sending off County Magistrate Lin, the courtyard suddenly fell silent.Xuan Miao Fufu went down the road, and asked the people below to pack their bags. Those who should patrol, and those who should do errands, except for Qingshuang and Xuanmiao Xuanyi, there were no idlers left in the yard.

Lou Xiyue glanced out the window, the sky in the distance was dark, the sky was gradually submerged in darkness, and the dark clouds that came with the wind were slowly approaching Guiyan Village.

Qingshuang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lou Xiyue, saying: "It seems that there will be another storm." She sighed lightly: "It's a pity, if it wasn't for the rain on the way, we can't tell now We have already arrived at Huaijiang Mansion."

Lou Xiyue: "There are unpredictable things in the sky, who would have expected that the rain would be so unlucky."

Xuan Yi said while he was packing his bags: "The wind and rain can't be controlled by man, but other things are not certain." He said: "I think the old and weak women and children who appeared outside Lianjiang City that day are very suspicious. It's like deliberately trying to hold us back."

On their way to the south, when they passed Lianjiang City, several people once stopped the team of Xuanping Palace.

Those who blocked the way were the old and the weak, women and children, and it was said that they had grievances to report.So Fu Guan stopped and listened to what they had to say.

But unexpectedly, this matter turned out to be a misunderstanding. The family didn't have any grievances, let alone ordinary people, just little thieves running around.

Seeing that the cars going south were extremely gorgeous, and the passengers were either rich or expensive, they got a crooked mind and tried every means to blackmail a fortune.

In the end, the prefect of Lianjiang City sent people out of the city to arrest these little thieves.

Thinking of this incident, Xuan Miao also faintly felt something strange: "There are so many of us, how dare those little thieves blackmail us?

"They knew they couldn't get anything from us, so they confessed their guilt straight away. Thinking about it carefully, the words they said when they pleaded guilty are really strange."
