Chapter 197 Assassination (2)

Qingshuang turned her head to think about it, nodded randomly, and agreed: "It's really strange." She continued: "Is there any conspiracy in this?"

Lou Xiyue: "No matter what conspiracy the other party has, right now they are trapped in prison, even if they want to do something, they can't pose a threat to us."

"Although that's the case, it's better to be careful." Xuan Yi looked back at Fu Guan and said, "Master, are you right?"

Xuan Miao walked over and patted him on the back of the head: "What's right, go do your work, and how to deal with the matter, I know exactly what to do."

Xuan Yi received a slap, and immediately clamored to beat him back.

Lou Xiyue listened to what they said, and her eyes fell on Fu Guan.In the field of vision, Fu Guan sat quietly in front of the desk, with his head down, not knowing what official documents he was reading.

Suddenly, she heard a roar of thunder coming from outside the window, and after a while, the patter of raindrops fell.When the wind blows, it brings a humid and hot breath.

Lou Xiyue said: "Huaijiang Mansion is not far from Nanhuai Mansion. The heavy rain has ravaged Nanhuai Mansion for many days. I don't know what's going on with Huaijiang Mansion."

Since she arrived in the capital, she seldom communicated with the elders of the Ban family.

In the final analysis, she was not Ban Xiyu herself, because she was afraid of communicating with her family and would easily reveal her secrets, so Qingshuang wrote all the external letters.

And every time I only reply a few lines briefly, so as not to make too many mistakes and arouse doubts.

When Fu Guan heard Lou Xiyue's words, his heart moved slightly.He put down the things in his hands and said, "It is common for the area in the south of the Yangtze River to be rainy in summer. This king has read the records of floods in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years. According to the records, the heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River will not last for more than seven days in previous years."

He said: "It usually takes about three to five days. However, there are countless large and small rivers in Huaijiang Mansion, and the water flow spreads out quickly. During the hot summer season, Huaijiang Mansion rarely suffers from serious flooding."

Fu Guan looked up at Lou Xiyue, and said in a flat tone, "So don't worry."

"I see."

Lou Xiyue nodded clearly, feeling a little relieved.

At this time, the servants in the posthouse came to inform, and invited Fu Guan and others to move to the flower hall for dinner.

Knowing that Fu Guan didn't like to be disturbed, Xuan Miao ordered the guards to patrol the perimeter of the courtyard, leaving only a few handymen in the hall to wait for orders.

Lou Xiyue was not very hungry, she only used some and put down her chopsticks.

She turned her head and saw the guards walking back and forth through the gap in the front door frame.Those people were left behind by County Magistrate Lin, who was in charge of keeping everyone safe in the Xuanping Palace.

Seeing that she was bored, Qingshuang took the initiative to chat with her to relieve the boredom. The two of them faced the window and whispered about the second elder of the Ban family.

During the meal, Fu Guan glanced at the people not far away, and saw Lou Xiyue listening to the servant girl seriously, with the usual clear and quiet eyes.

His eyes stayed on her for a while, and the figure of the other party sitting sideways was reflected in his mind. Inexplicably, he felt that Lou Xiyue's appearance revealed a bit of rare tenderness and demureness.

Fu Guan: "..."

He quickly withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself, it was probably his illusion just now.How could he see the words "gentle" and "demure" from Lou Xiyue?
Seeing that his expression was different, Xuan Yi asked: "Master, what's the matter?"

Fu Guan laughed and shook his head: "It's nothing."

He didn't speak any more, not wanting to spoil the rare warm and quiet atmosphere.

It's just that the harmonious atmosphere didn't last long, and Lou Xiyue moved first.

She stood up, staring at something outside the window with her bright and piercing eyes.In the dark night, only the shadows of the trees blown by the breeze swayed slightly.

She said, "The guards patrolling outside are gone."

Not long ago, Lou Xiyue could still hear the faint sound of footsteps coming from a distance, as well as the whispers of the guards.But I don't know when, the outside of the courtyard became completely quiet, so quiet that not a single human voice could be heard.

Not only that, Lou Xiyue was also keenly aware that there seemed to be strange auras coming from different directions around her.Unkind killing intent spread in the dark.

In the gloomy and dead atmosphere, a silent murderous intent is attacking quietly.

The two brothers Fu Guan and Xuan Miao Xuanyi also noticed, and several of them became alert at the same time.

Fu Guan signaled with his eyes, Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi immediately understood, immediately picked up the weapons at the side, and walked towards the door step by step.

Seeing them so vigilant, Qingshuang couldn't help but get nervous.She didn't know why, so she reached out and grabbed Lou Xiyue's sleeve: "Gu, girl, what's going on?"

The guard is gone, what do you mean?Why are everyone so vigilant?

Although she couldn't figure out the logic behind it, she couldn't help feeling scared when she saw the battle in front of her.She could foresee that some bad accidents would inevitably happen tonight.

Lou Xiyue patted her hand lightly: "It's nothing, don't worry, you hide behind first—" Before she could finish speaking, there was a sudden "whoosh" in front of her!

Lou Xiyue's eyes froze, and she moved when she heard the sound.She slammed Qingshuang's arm to the back, turned around at the same time, and blocked the cold arrow that broke through the window with her hands!
Qingshuang looked at the arrow less than a foot away from her in front of her eyes, her whole body was so frightened that she froze and did not dare to move.

The cold light of the arrow's tip was reflected in her eyes, and she felt lingering fear when she realized that she would survive the catastrophe.

Qingshuang realized belatedly that the current post house is extremely dangerous, and the killer is not far away: "Yes, there is an assassin!——"

*
"My lord, what's wrong with my lord, if our people didn't stop me, all those people ran away!"

County Magistrate Lin walked around in a hurry outside the county government prison, stomping his feet and cursing: "It's not good when these black sheep make trouble, but today is the day! Bad luck, too bad luck!"

The hateful thing is that they didn't forget to provoke before they ran away, and set fire to the backyard of County Magistrate Lin's house. Not only that, they also released the death row prisoners in the prison!
County magistrate Lin first heard that the prisoner had been robbed, and immediately ordered people to chase him. Then he turned around and found that his backyard was on fire again, and he ran around all night without stopping.

As a result, he was so busy that none of the perpetrators were caught!
"Damn, damn!"

The master was also sweating anxiously: "My lord, what should we do now? Just now those people said that they want to trouble King Xuan Ping, then let's..."

County magistrate Lin knocked on the master's head with a fan, and said: "It goes without saying, of course it's important to save the prince first! I finally understand that what happened tonight is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"
"They led us to the county government office to disperse the troops at the posthouse, so as to take advantage of this opportunity to assassinate the prince!"

As he said that, County Magistrate Lin sneered: "Hmph, how dare you say that you want us to collect the prince's corpse? It's almost the same if I burned their corpses!

"Let's go, take the remaining half of the county government, and rush to the post to rescue him immediately! The rest of the people will be sent out, and the escaped criminals must be captured one by one!"

"Yes!--"

County magistrate Lin acted in a hurry, and immediately rushed out of the post with people.When he got there, he realized that something was wrong:

"Okay, I asked them to stay and protect the prince, but what happened to the people, everyone? They all disappeared? Negligence of duty, tomorrow they will all be rewarded with [-] big boards!"

Then he ordered to divide a group of guards into east and west, and guard the exits on both sides respectively. When the killer appeared, he would attack immediately.

The county magistrate Lin left four guards to follow him and enter through the main entrance with him to report the situation to King Xuanping.

He hurried in, and the master followed behind:

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong, and this moment strikes tonight, my lord, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, several slashes of lingering saber light approached his face! ——
