The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 480 Thorn

"Kill!" Several black shadows leaped down from the roofs on both sides and attacked the carriage directly.

Ke Hu, who was riding on the horse in front, unsheathed his sword with a clang, and the blade shone with a cool light under the setting sun. Facing the siege of the oncoming assassins, he unleashed his sword skills, and the shadows of the sword were like a nimble dragon. Every time he thrust out his sword, he blocked the assassins' attacks just right, and at the same time he could find a gap to counterattack.

On the other side, Geng Zhong and a dozen bodyguards were also protecting the carriage while fighting the enemy. Zuo Cheng, who was sitting on the carriage, held a long sword in his hand, looking around cautiously, but did not leave the carriage at all.

Although there were many assassins, Ke Hu and Geng Zhong, one was an expert in swordsmanship and the other in knife skills, could not get close to the carriage for a while.

Only the leading black-clad assassin was able to hold his own against Ke Hu, while the rest of the assassins were gradually defeated or were injured.

Seeing that soldiers seemed to be rushing over on the street, the leading assassin looked at the tightly guarded carriage with his eyes exposed outside unwillingly, and finally shouted in a low voice: "Retreat!"

Following this order, the assassins retreated like a tide, each jumping onto the roof of the street, and disappeared after a few leaps.

Just then, footsteps were heard and a team of officials rushed into Lantern Street.

"Someone reported a fight here. Where are the people?"

Zuo Cheng then jumped off the carriage and greeted the man, saying, "Captain Cui, my daughter was assassinated. Thanks to you, Captain Hong, for coming in time. The assassin has already escaped!"

"Is Miss Li okay? May I say a few words to Miss Li?" Captain Cui knew Zuo Cheng when he saw him. When he heard that Miss Li had been assassinated, he couldn't help but start to speculate.

Shi Liu in the car had already lifted the curtain to look out, "Captain Cui."

Captain Cui took two steps forward and said, "Miss Li, do you know who the assassin is?"

Shi Liu looked at him deeply and said, "I think they are the only ones I have offended."

Captain Cui's expression suddenly became serious. He bowed to Shi Liu and said goodbye. He immediately led his men to chase the assassins in the direction they fled.

They are traitors, and it would be a meritorious service to capture a few of them!
Shi Liu watched their figures disappear into the distance and slowly let out a breath.

Who would have thought that the rebels would dare to assassinate her in broad daylight in the city. Look at the fierce killing move they used today. Fortunately, there were many "bodyguards". Otherwise, the roof of the carriage would have been cut off by them.

She turned around, thanked Geng Zhong and the others for their hard work, and asked if anyone was injured.

Ke Hu clasped his fists and retreated to the side. He was not injured, but his mood was very turbulent at the moment. What complicated things could happen to the girl? These days were peaceful, so why did so many assassins come today? The leading assassin was very powerful in martial arts. He used 70% to 80% of his strength, but he was only comparable to him.

He must not be careless about this job from now on, lest he tarnish his reputation as the Little Flying Tiger.

Geng Zhong's heart was also in turmoil. He thought that the girl must be in danger, which was why they hired their escort agency. But he didn't expect that there would be such a thrilling assassination on the first day of the escort. Tsk, he must be more careful in the future, otherwise, what about the reputation of Zhenwei Escort Agency?

He immediately calmed down and bowed to Shi Liu, saying, "Miss Li, we injured a few people, but they are all minor injuries, nothing serious!"

The money paid for this escort trip was quite a bit, and casualties were something they had anticipated, so it was really nothing, and the employer didn't need to worry about it.

Leader Geng thought that after escorting Miss Li back to Lihua Hutong, he would bandage the injured brothers.

But unexpectedly, when she returned to Lihua Hutong, Miss Li had already asked someone to call a doctor.

At that moment, Geng Zhong was deeply moved. His employer, Miss Li, was really kind.

-

In the dimly lit room, there was only a weak oil lamp, which cast a shadow on a man's face, making his angular and thin figure stand out. Although the doors and windows were tightly closed and not a single breath of air could get in, it still made people feel icy cold for no reason.

"So what if you tried? Did you hurt her at all? Why didn't you listen to me? I clearly tried to stop you, but you ignored me and insisted on doing what you wanted? Didn't you see the people following her, or did you think you were very capable?"

Two people were vaguely kneeling in the backlight. The man on the left had cold sweat on his back and his face was full of shame, but he was unwilling. He just held on to a glimmer of hope, what if he could kill that bitch today?
Not only he was unwilling, but his brothers were also unwilling.

The black-robed young man on the right was the first to plead guilty, "Master, this was all my idea. If you want to punish me, I will take full responsibility."

The man hurriedly said, "It was my subordinate's strong suggestion. It has nothing to do with Lord Xia! Master, please punish me!"

"It's punishable."

The voice paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Have you wiped away all the traces?"

"Don't worry, master. Those good-for-nothings haven't caught up with us at all," said the man.

The young man who was sitting raised his eyes and glanced at him, "You can go to Cangzhou."

The man looked up in astonishment, but immediately lowered his head and bowed, saying, "Yes, Master!"

Although she said she would not go to see him off, Shi Liu still went to Luochuan Wharf early in the morning. In a breakfast shop on the ancient street opposite the wharf, she watched Doctor Wang being seen off by everyone as he boarded the ship to the capital.

The big ship was not chartered. There were other passengers heading towards the capital, including those sent by Liu Dongjia.

No matter what, I hope the Fifth Prince can listen to this and be a little wary of Doctor Wang.

Anyway, he was wrong to be cautious. He was just an imperial physician. It was not a matter of ruining his future or not. He had good medical skills and people would always ask him to treat their illnesses.

The big ship slowly sailed away from the dock, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Pomegranate lowered its head, scooped a spoonful of mutton soup into its mouth, and nodded continuously.

The specialty of this century-old breakfast shop is mutton noodle soup. The mutton soup is delicious, fresh and tasty, with a strong aroma but not greasy. It is paired with the distinctive dragon beard noodles and topped with coriander and chopped green onions. In the early morning of early winter, it really warms up your whole body.

He ate up all the pomegranate noodles and soup, including the complimentary crispy pickled radish cubes for flavor enhancement, and also ate two abalone snails. He almost ate too much.

She has always eaten a lot, but she hasn't grown much in the past three years. Sigh, maybe it's hereditary that she's short?

After all, neither my parents are tall.

But the good news is that, although it hasn't grown much vertically, it hasn't grown horizontally either. On the contrary, the goat milk soup that I must drink every day is good, and well, my chest looks a little better after all.

Shi Liu lowered her head and glanced at her chest. She was wearing a thick coat, so she couldn't see anything, but she chuckled.

When she looked up again, she saw Sui Lu and Jin Hua secretly looking at her, so she quickly said seriously, "Have you finished eating? Let's pay the bill and go."

Sui Lu hurried to pay the bill.

A group of people rushed out of the shop, and the shop became emptier in an instant.
