Daliang female chief assistant

Chapter 10 Assassination
"The concubine thanked His Majesty on behalf of my father."

Hearing that Concubine Wan Gui burst into tears of gratitude, she immediately knelt down to thank her, but was stopped by Emperor Xuan's hand.

"Okay, my concubine, take care of yourself, I still have something to do, I'll see you later."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of Xiangfeng Palace.

Back in the imperial study, Emperor Xuan summoned Wang Youxian and explained to him.

One day later, it was time to set off for Xiangzhou.

Zhou Shu's carriage was at the forefront, followed by the army escorting food and grass.

A whole group of people started from Dongcheng Gate and walked for dozens of miles. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wang Youxian proposed to camp on the spot to rest.

Zhou Shu sat in the carriage for a whole day, and his bones ached as if they were falling apart. Fuxiu worried that she would not be able to bear it, so he carefully helped her get off the carriage, and sat down on the ground covered with a thick quilt.

"Young master, drink some water."

Fu Xiu took the water bottle and handed it to her, Zhou Shu took it, "Okay."

Before he had time to drink, there was a sudden sound of frightened birds in the woods, and then dozens of masked men in black poured out from all directions.

"Be careful."

Wang Youxian was the first to react, and immediately drew his sword, protecting Zhou Shu and Wen Yuting behind him.

The leader of the man in black looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Shu's face. He waved his hands behind him and said in a deep voice, "Kill!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of shouting and killing.

Under Zhou Hui's protection, Zhou Shu retreated to the carriage. She was about to hide in the carriage when a cold light flashed, and the leader of the man in black slashed at her with a sharp knife.

"Zhou Shu, go to hell."

"A Ci, be careful!"

Zhou Hui was entangled by another man in black. Seeing him raising the knife in his hand, the sharp blade was about to fall on Zhou Shu's body. At the very moment, with a sound of "Zheng", a spear pierced the sky and hit Zhou Shu directly. The left chest of the man in black.

"puff--"

Blood sprayed Zhou Shu's face.

It was hot, just like the night her mother died before her eyes.

The man in black collapsed and fell powerlessly at her feet.

She was so frightened that her legs became weak, and she backed up with her hands and feet, while the dying man in black stared at her.

"Wanjia won't let you go..."

Before he finished speaking, he died.

After the headed man in black died, the rest of the men in black looked at each other and committed suicide by taking poison one after another.

"A Ci, are you alright?"

After dealing with the man in black beside him, Zhou Hui rushed over and grabbed Zhou Shu's shoulder, and asked with concern, "Is there any injury?"

Zhou Shu was so frightened that he shook his head in despair after a long while.

"Brother, I'm fine."

He said he was fine, but his eyes were scarlet, and the hand hanging by his side couldn't stop shaking.

Wen Yuting glanced over her trembling hands and reminded Zhou Hui, "Help him into the carriage first."

"it is good."

With support and hug, Zhou Shu was helped into the carriage.

After ordering Fu Xiu to stay by her side, Zhou Hui opened the curtain and came down. First, he walked up to the leader in black, knelt down, checked his identity carefully, and then turned around and walked back.

Walk up to Wang Youxian.

"General Wang, do you know the identities of these people?"

Wang Youxian shook his head. He had already checked the identities of these people just now, but did not find any relevant clues.

"How is Mr. Zhou?"

"I was a little scared." After Zhou Hui answered, he suddenly thought of something, and then turned his gaze to Wen Yuting, who had been silent all this time.

"Young Master, what do you think of this matter?"

Wang Youxian also looked over.

Wen Yuting had already guessed in his heart, and at this moment, being stared at by two people at the same time, he suppressed his emotions.

"In my opinion, these people are desperadoes who rob their homes and do all sorts of evil."

While speaking, he resumed his previous unrestrained flair.

Zhou Hui disagreed with his statement, "Young Master, these people really look like dead soldiers, but the weapons they use are from the army."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Youxian's expression changed immediately.

At this time, Zhou Shu had already sorted out his emotions, opened the curtain, and got off the carriage.

"General Wang, Young Master, what my brother said is true."

She walked over slowly, and when she passed the leader of the man in black who wanted to hurt her, she bent down and picked up the knife on the ground.

"A Ci, dirty."

Zhou Hui wanted to take the knife from her, but Zhou Shu avoided it, "Brother, I can."

Then he looked firmly at Wen Yuting, "I just thank you little lord for saving my life."

Yes, it was Wen Yuting who killed the leading man in black with a spear before.

It's just that it was too flustered before, so that everyone didn't pay attention.

At this moment when she mentioned it, the way Wang Youxian and Zhou Hui looked at Wen Yuting immediately became different.

Wen Yuting wasn't half as flustered when someone found out that he had martial arts, "Just now when I was in a hurry, this Marquis also had the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect to win."

"It seems that this Marquis is quite talented, General Wang, don't you think so?"

Wang Youxian, who was called by name, looked embarrassed.

"Yes Yes."

Zhou Shu looked at Wen Yuting in a suspicious way, and saw that he didn't want to say more, so he left the topic.

Bring the topic back to the men in black.

"General Wang, I wonder if you have seen the martial arts of this group of people just now?"

Wang Youxian briefly recalled, "It's a bit like martial arts in the army."

"That's right." Zhou Shu nodded, "Just now my elder brother said that the weapons used by this group are from the military, and that's not a lie."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Youxian frowned tightly.

As a person who stayed in the army all year round, he didn't recognize that it was a weapon in the army. If it got out, his reputation as General Fengtian might be ruined.

Wang Youxian faced it shamelessly, and said ashamedly: "I didn't realize it just now, I'm really ashamed."

"General Wang, it's not your fault." Zhou Shu comforted him, "These weapons should be different from what you saw in the army, General Wang."

Said, handed him the knife in his hand.

Wang Youxian took it and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, the brows that were originally frowning became deeper.

"Master Zhou, this..."

Knowing the doubts in his heart, Zhou Shu stopped playing riddles, "General Wang, look at the handles of these knives. They are wide at both ends and thin in the middle, so they are easy to hold with one hand. Civilian weapons are mostly thick blades and thin blades, and there are no such hollow patterns on the ring heads, so Zhou guessed that these weapons mostly came from the army."

"Since it is from the army, why is the style different?"

Wen Yuting asked a key question, Zhou Shu looked at him calmly, but did not answer.

These words reminded Wang Youxian.

He recalled being called into the palace urgently by Emperor Xuan yesterday, and what he had told him, with a serious expression, he bowed his hands to Zhou Shu and saluted.

"Lord Zhou, this matter is of great importance and involves a lot, and you need to report it to His Majesty before making a decision."

"Yeah." Zhou Shu nodded, and then released another blockbuster, "Just now, the leader of the man in black said a word to me before he died."

"What?"

After she finished speaking, Wen Yuting couldn't wait to finish the conversation.

It's quite a bit of flattery.

In Zhou Shu's cold eyes, there was a little smile.

With a light cough, he returned to normal.

"He said: 'Wanjia will not let me go'."
