Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 236 Attacked
"I, I, I just want to learn how to make a fan..."

Raising his eyebrows, Su Jingchun looked at Yamada Jiro, but smiled.

It seems that he thought too much, this Yamada Jiro is really a fool, and it's not that the Dongying people have other plans.

Thinking so in his heart, when he looked up at Ichiro Yamada who was following up, his expression relaxed a lot.

However, the tone is still sharp: "Yamada-kun, what do you want to do?!"

Being stared at by Su Jingchun, Yamada Ichiro also felt unlucky, "Mr. Su, don't get me wrong. What happened just now was really just an accident. It's all my fault that my brother is an idiot, and he didn't think about the consequences at all when he spoke."

Glancing at Jiro fiercely, he said in a low voice: "With your relationship with my general, how dare the villain do such disrespectful things?"

Although he is from Dongying, and his Chinese language is not very good, but this sentence is very popular in Daxia.

Su Jingchun looked at Yamada Ichiro, but believed that he was telling the truth.

"Yamada-kun is a smart man, and he did a good job just now. You should also know that some requests cannot be made in public. You can tell the general that my previous promise will not change, but it will take time..."

During this sea tour, he met many people and agreed to the conditions of many forces, but these conditions still need to be fulfilled bit by bit.

Just like the forces from all sides support Prince Rui, they can't make it so obvious.

Even sometimes, someone has to jump out to oppose it.

For an emperor, the most taboo thing is that the prince is too popular.The former prince had been building momentum for himself in recent years, and everyone thought he was the next king, and they were obedient to him.

Although the emperor never said anything, he was dissatisfied with the prince for a long time.Now that Prince Rui wants to take the position, he can no longer follow the old path of the prince.

What the people want is not as good as pure filial piety as a lonely minister.

And the role played by the Dongying people is the voices against Prince Rui.

"I think the general should have told Yamada-kun that it's better not to have too much contact with me in Daxia."

Yamada Ichiro nodded, bowed deeply again, and dragged Yamada Jiro away.

After looking around and confirming that no eunuch approached and eavesdropped just now, Su Jingchun hurried forward.

After the banquet in the palace, Prince Rui did not leave the palace, but went to the harem to serve the emperor.

That's what I said, but everyone in the government and the public knows that this is just a gesture.

With so many people around the emperor waiting on him, there is still no need for Prince Rui to do anything.

But in this case, it cannot be said clearly.Great Xia governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and Prince Rui's filial piety is in line with the foundation of a country, who dares to say that Prince Rui is just pretending? !

In the end, it was still time delay, when Su Jingchun arrived at the gate of the palace, Mu Zihua had already disappeared.

For the third party, he explained Gu Sixiao's identity in the hall, which was really helpless. Pushing Mu Zihua out like this is no different from forcing him.

Su Jingchun was a little worried that Mu Zihua would lose his temper with Gu Sixiao when he went back, but at this time he couldn't go to Mu's house with him, so he could only go to Mu's house tomorrow.

Having nothing to say all night, I woke up early, but Su Jingchun didn't want to really run to Mu's mansion early in the morning.

After finally passing the time, he rode a horse to Mu's residence.

It was also a coincidence that I saw Mu's carriage on the street.He reined in the horse and looked carefully, and saw several people coming out of the silk and satin shop where the carriage was parked.

Surrounded by a few maids, it is not the mother and daughter of the Yue family.

This is to take two daughters to go shopping?
Across the road, seeing the women on the opposite side chatting and laughing, even Gu Sixiao had a smile on his face, Su Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that although Mu Zihua was ridiculed, he didn't take the anger home.

Anyway, his in vain father-in-law really has deep affection for his future mother-in-law.

Jumping off the horse, he threw the reins to Su Zhu who was behind him. Su Jingchun walked across the long street with a smile and greeted him.

Gu Sixiao, who was on the opposite side, also noticed his gaze, raised his head, looked at each other across the crowd, and they both laughed together.

The smile hadn't faded away yet, but there was a sudden change.

This long street is the bustling place in central Beijing. There are shops on both sides of the street, and the street is very lively with people coming and going.

The silk and satin shop that Gu Sixiao and the others just walked out of is doing very well. When they went out, another group of customers went in.

The two people met a few steps away from the door, Gu Sixiao raised his head and smiled brilliantly when he saw Su Jingchun walking towards him.

Before the smile faded away, a silver light flashed in front of her eyes, and a woman walking across from her suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed at her chest.

At the same time, an exclamation sounded beside her.

But the girl who was helping a fallen old woman was pushed to the ground.The old woman who seemed to be about to fall just now stood up, pulled out a dagger from the bamboo basket in her hand, and slashed at Yue Mudan.

All this happened so quickly, Gu Sixiao only came in and smashed out a cloth tiger he was holding in his hand.

It was the rag tiger that Rui'er insisted on buying one for each person in the shop just now, she thought it was too childish just now, but now it is the only weapon in her hands.

The tiger threw it, and the woman knocked it down with a wave of her hand. The dagger in her hand didn't even stop, and stabbed Gu Sixiao straight.

But, after all, his stature was still slowed down by the cloth tiger, just for a moment, but it was enough for Su Jingchun to rush forward.

Before the people approached, Su Jingchun shouted: "Look at my seven-star ten thousand poisonous needle..."

Before she finished shouting a sentence, the woman panicked, she retracted her hand, and turned the dagger to protect herself first, the blade was as bright as snow, but there was no poisonous needle flying over.

It's just such a delay, Su Jingchun has already rushed close, stabbed out with a sword, and fought fiercely with the woman.

Gu Sixiao at the other end threw the cloth tiger, who had already turned around and rushed to the side, grabbed the cheaply disposed cloth in front of the door, and beat it sideways.

While doing all this, she didn't even look at the female assassin, as if she knew that Su Jingchun would come to rescue her.

A piece of cloth swept out and just hit the arm of the assassin pretending to be an old woman. When his hand was tilted, the dagger missed Yue Mudan's chest, but scratched her arm crookedly.

All of this is a long story, but in fact it happened in an instant.

The girls around were still screaming, Su Zhu, who was leading the horse on the opposite side, also rushed over and fought with the assassin.

Throwing away the piece of cloth, Gu Sixiao's hands were weak, but he supported Yue Mudan, pulled off the terrified Rui'er, and pushed the two into the silk and satin factory.

"Go in and hide!"

Reminded by her words, several maids hurriedly followed and hid inside, and the frightened silk and satin shop guy also hurriedly closed the door.

"Huaer—" Yue Mudan screamed, reaching out to pull Gu Sixiao.

Gu Sixiao turned around abruptly and rushed over again.

The door was closed heavily, and Gu Sixiao could still hear Yue Mudan's cry inside: "Don't lock the door! My daughter is still outside! Huaer, Huaer..."

Hearing Yue Mudan's voice calling her, Gu Sixiao didn't bother to respond, but looked nervously at Su Jingchun who was fighting with the assassin.

Although she was still in shock, her mind was exceptionally clear at the moment.

These assassins, without thinking too much, knew that they were sent by the prince.

Both she and Yue Mudan were the ones who sued the prince, and they were the key to Dali Temple's investigation of the case.

Before Su Jingchun asked her to stay in Mu's house, apart from wanting to ask Yue Mudan for help in their marriage, he probably meant to let her take refuge.

No matter how daring the prince's people are, they still have some taboos to break into the servant's mansion and kill people.

The front and back of the Minister's Mansion are the homes of officials, and it is not easy to handle things if things get big.

It was also because of their negligence that they went out to shop openly, which gave the assassins a chance.

Suddenly, a big assassination case happened on the street, and the bustling street market became a mess. The people who went shopping fled one after another, and the shops on both sides were closing their doors in a hurry.

There was a beggar who fled with his head in his arms, but panicked and ran close to the battle circle.

Gu Sixiao had been staring at Su Jingchun, watching the beggar approach Su Jingchun from a distance, and suddenly felt vigilant.

"Jingchun, be careful..." She screamed out in surprise, she put her heart up, raised the cloth, and rushed towards the beggar.

She has also been a beggar for a few days, but she has never seen a beggar wearing a thin-bottomed whip like that beggar.

Believing that the beggar was also an assassin in his heart, Gu Sixiao rushed forward and waved the cloth in his hand helplessly.

She is a woman, and she has never learned Kung Fu, but she just hits someone out of anger, so how can she be the other party's opponent.

After a few strokes, he was knocked down by the beggar.

Glancing at Gu Sixiao coldly, the beggar didn't take her seriously at all. With a dagger in his hand, he was about to attack Su Jingchun with his companions.

How could Gu Sixiao let him go, gritted his teeth, and threw himself forward. Although he fell to the ground, he tightly hugged the beggar's leg.

"Looking for death—" the beggar was furious and even kicked Gu Sixiao a few times, but he still couldn't break free.

With angry eyes, he glared at Gu Sixiao and raised the dagger in his hand.

"Si Xiao..."

Turning his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Su Jingchun, ignoring the assassin behind him, and rushed towards him.

Gu Sixiao fell to the ground, clearly seeing that when Su Jingchun turned around, the empty door opened wide, and the assassin jumped forward, stabbing Su Jingchun's back with the dagger in his hand.

"Jingchun—be careful..." she yelled loudly, even completely ignoring the dagger she was holding that the assassin had stabbed.

Hearing Gu Sixiao's cry, Su Jingchun didn't turn back to meet the enemy at all, but threw the long sword in his hand when he flew towards Gu Sixiao.

The long sword came out of his hand, and a sword pierced through the beggar's chest.

Gu Sixiao felt hot blood spurting on her face, she hurriedly let go, the beggar fell to the ground without even screaming.

After breaking Gu Sixiao's circle with a sword, Su Jingchun turned around to face the enemy, already a step too late.

The dagger approached, but Su Jingchun had no weapon in his hand. Although he tried his best to dodge, he was still stabbed in the arm by the dagger.

Once the move was successful, the woman raised her knife and stabbed again, very viciously.Su Jingchun hastily fought back, but he was already at a disadvantage.

He was about to be stabbed by the woman, but at the very moment, there was a sound of breaking through the air.

A long arrow pierced the sky and buzzed...
