Chapter 734 Dagger Now
Xiao Nan frowned slightly, she knew that Ping An would not let her live a leisurely life, but she did not expect the other party to take action so quickly.

"Presumptuous, how dare you imprison our wife?!"

Yushui has been trained by the mothers for several years, and she knows the truth of "the master worries about the minister's work, the master humiliates the minister to death". When she saw a few guards dare to treat her wife like this, she stood up and reprimanded her without hesitation.

Besides, a person of Xiao Nan's status would not condescend to argue with a few guards, but let the 'doglegs' who are in charge of charging forward come forward.

But at the moment there are only a few people around Xiao Nan, the role of 'dog leg', of course, is played by her personal maid Yushui children's shoes.

"That's right, the saint just 'allowed' our wife to copy the scriptures in the temple, and did not say 'not allowed' to go out, madam, you are maliciously misinterpreting the will of the saint by acting like this,"

Gu Yu's reaction was not slow, and he immediately flashed out and admonished: "It's really courageous, do you know what will happen to you if you act recklessly?!"

Xiao Nan remained calm, and glanced slightly over the guards standing in front of her.

Several people were all stern, with a stereotyped 'businesslike' look.

But after listening to Yushui and Gu Yu's reprimands, the leading guard's eyes flashed a flash of hesitation, but he quickly bit his cheek again and said coldly: "I'm repeating, the princess has an order, madam wants to copy the scriptures." Meditate, so please ask Madam to go back."

Although he still insisted on not giving in, his words were much more polite than before, at least he used the word 'please'.

Xiao Nan bent his lips, it seemed that these people were forced to act like this.

"Oh? The princess has an order? You mean, peace can override the saint? Her words are more effective than the imperial edict?"

Xiao Nan spoke lightly, and the head guard broke out in cold sweat with just one sentence.

Because this question is too difficult to answer.

Let him say, is it necessary to say 'the princess dare not be compared with a saint', but if he said so, he would have no reason to prevent Mrs. Qi from leaving the courtyard.

But if he admits the princess's words are better than the imperial decree, he really doesn't have the guts.Besides, it was against his conscience.

Although he is the armored guard of the Princess Mansion, he is also a child of an innocent family background, and he is also a good son who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic in his bones. He really hesitates to let him ignore the holy order for the sake of his master.

He lowered his head and hesitated for a while before the chief guard said in a muffled voice: "Madam, don't distort the meaning of XX. The sage ordered the princess to take care of the lady. Now the princess has an order, and it is also for the lady to copy the scriptures better..."

Gritting his teeth, he even pleaded in his tone, "Madam, please don't embarrass me."

The villain in my heart has burst into tears: Woohoo, we are just little people, you two nobles are fighting, just greet yourself, why bother to take it out on us? !
"Hey, it's obvious that you are disrespectful to Madam and intend to insult Madam, but now you still say that Madam is 'difficult' you, do you still want to lose face?!"

Seeing that Xiao Nan just sneered, Yu Shui understood in his heart, quickly spat lightly, pinched his waist with one hand and scolded the guards.

"That's right, what a bunch of brazen, daring rats and dogs, the servant girl is a woman, and you will be ashamed to death by you,"

Gu Yu also took a step forward, stretched out his hand to point to the gate, and shouted: "If you are interested, you should retreat quickly, otherwise—"

Before she finished speaking, a delicate voice came from outside the door: "Otherwise what?"

Xiao Nan narrowed his eyes, um, she recognized this voice, it should be Wu's.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice outside the door fell, there was a muffled 'squeak', and the two courtyard doors slowly opened, and Wu Shi and several others appeared at the courtyard entrance.

"I have met my wife in person."

As if she had just seen Xiao Nan, Wu gave an exaggerated salute, and then before Xiao Nan could speak, she deliberately stood up straight with her stomach straight, turned her face slightly to the left and right, and said to the people standing on both sides: "Cui Xiao Steward, Al, why don't you rush to greet Madam!"

It turned out that there were not only two maidservants following Wu, but also two men in Hu suits, one was Cui Defang, the son of Steward Cui, and the other was Cui Youbo's personal bodyguard Al in Rongshou Hall.

When the two saw Xiao Nan, they couldn't help showing bitter expressions, and their eyes were full of struggle and uneasiness. Perhaps they were so immersed in their own thoughts that they both forgot to salute.

Hearing Mrs. Wu's reminder, the two came back to their senses one after another, smiled awkwardly, and then bowed to salute: "Madam, please be well!"

Xiao Nan frowned, and said coldly, "What are you two doing here?"

When she went out, she obviously arranged errands for the two of them, but now they came running suddenly, could it be, could something happen at home?

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan's expression changed, and he asked quickly: "Why, is there something wrong at home?"

"Hee hee~~"

Wu smugly covered her mouth and chuckled, and after successfully attracting Xiao Nan's attention to herself, she put down her hand and said with a little pity: "Tsk tsk, Madam doesn't know something, there is nothing wrong with the family, but you -"

As she said that, she looked Xiao Nan up and down seriously, and sighed with pretended regret: "It's Madam, there seems to be something wrong with you."

Xiao Nan didn't speak, but gave Yu Shui a wink in displeasure.

Yushui understood, played the role of 'dog leg' again, took a step forward, and cursed loudly: "Mr. Wu, you are bold, dare to be presumptuous in front of Madam?!"

Xu learned the lesson from last time, Wu Shi was quite afraid of the rain, seeing her move, Wu Shi subconsciously took two steps back.

Then I thought, no, this time we brought helpers, and Xiao's group of thugs have been taken away, without those four women, only Xiao and a few maids are nothing to be afraid of, my mother is afraid Damn!

Thinking of this, Wu became confident, and thinking of the scene of being chased by the rain and being forced to kneel last time, she couldn't help but become a little annoyed, gritted her teeth and sneered, "Hmph, Xiao, what time is it, are you still here?" Putting on airs as a lady in front of me?"

Suddenly remembered something again, Wu's chest was so high, and he looked at Xiao Nan with a bit of contempt, "You don't know yet, Mr. Lang is back, and he has already returned home yesterday -"

Xiao Nan couldn't see Wu's villainous appearance, so he waved his hand and interrupted: "Stop talking about these useless things, let's just talk about the main points!"

Mrs. Wu was stunned, Mr. Lang returned to the mansion, how important this is, why, why Mrs. Xiao was not surprised at all, Mrs. Xiao didn't believe her words before, but now she called Cui Defang and Al , is to let them be witnesses.

Xiao Nan is not an idiot, as long as he sees them, he will definitely guess that something has happened at home.

She, she should be panicked, or angry, why——

How did she know that although Xiao Nan was imprisoned in the Da Ci'en Temple, there was Li Rong who was able to come and go freely as the ear god, and Xiao Nan knew all the "miraculous events" that happened in the capital.

Wu was choked, and it took her a long time to react. She curled her lips and sneered twice, "As expected of a madam, she really has the momentum of a mountain collapse in front of her, but, heh Hmph, but soon you will know how bad your situation is."

At that time, how arrogant are you?How to calm down? !

Wu Shi gritted his teeth, thinking secretly.

"Say, heavy, fast!"

Xiao Nan interrupted again angrily, if she hadn't seen Cui Defang and Al and wanted to know what happened at home, she wouldn't have the patience to listen to Wu's show off.

Mrs. Wu was choked again, her face was very ugly, she took a deep breath, and said: "The point is that the gentleman is back, and I know that you have caused a catastrophe. In order not to hurt the Cui family, the gentleman said that from now on Madam, rest at ease in the Temple of Mercy, I will take care of everything at home."

Seeming to be angry, Wu's speech was very fast, and he almost finished speaking in one breath.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wu regretted it again, worrying that she spoke too fast, and the other party could not understand the meaning of her words, she hurriedly added: "That is to say, when Madam is not at home, everything in Rongshou Hall I will be in charge of everything, including household chores and the daily chores of the little masters!"

In the end, Wu's face was full of complacency, especially when she said "a few little masters", her eyes shone with a strange brilliance, coupled with her deliberately accentuated tone, even a fool would know what she said deep meaning.

Xiao Nan is not a fool, Wu believed that she would understand what he meant.

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Shi finished speaking, Xiao Nan's face sank, and a pair of deep eyes stared straight at Wu Shi.

Wu Shi looked back proudly, although Xiao Nan's eyes were frighteningly cold, but Wu Shi had hated her for many years, supported by this hatred, Wu Shi insisted on meeting Xiao Nan's eyes. for a while.

The people present, especially Cui Defang and Al, saw that the situation was not good, so they rushed up to smooth things over.

"Husband, Madam, this arrangement is also for the Lord, and the Lord is also worried that there will be no one to take care of the house. You, you can rest assured that there is a Lord at home, and the rules will not be messed up!"

Cui Defang stammered to comfort him, wiped his sweat secretly, and complained for the nth time in his heart: Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr., why did you find such a 'good' job for someone? !Isn't this offending the mistress?

One end is the master, the other is the mistress, sandwiched between the two great gods, Cui Defang was so miserable that she wished she could disappear immediately.

It's a pity that he can't disappear, so he can only choose one of the two masters.

His surname is Cui, and his family's ancestors have been the slaves of the Cui family for generations. He and his father are highly regarded by the Lord Lang (he is still a hostage in Shanzhou), so even if he knows that the mistress is extremely powerful in the family, Cui Defang still bit the bullet and stood by Cui Youbo's side.

However, Xiao Nan's mistress has been sitting down for many years, and she has accumulated a lot of power. Rao Cui Defang made a choice, and she dared not make mistakes in front of Xiao Nan.

In fact, not only Cui Defang, but also Al, a warrior, is also confused at the moment, alas, if it wasn't for the order of the lord, he really didn't want to come.

Swallowing his saliva, Al still nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, husband, madam, the Lord's arrangement is also for the good of the family!"

"Hmph, let the concubine be in charge of the family and trample on the family rules wantonly, is this also for the good of the family?"

Xiao Nan snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "Also, what do you mean resting in the temple with peace of mind? Is Cui Suchun going to put Mrs. Ben under house arrest?"

"Oh, ma'am, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't say these words indiscriminately,"

Seeing that Xiao Nan was finally angry as he wished, Mrs. Wu stepped forward with a smile, and said with a look of 'I'm doing it for you': "Mr. The big disaster is coming, we can't let the whole Cui family be buried with you just for you."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu patted his forehead hard, and said as if he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, look at me, I forgot to tell Madam about this. Madam, you don't know, do you? It was stolen by He Luan's spies in the capital. Now those firearms have been successfully transported out of the capital, and they took the opportunity to surprise the [-] reinforcements who were still on the way.

At the same time, He Lu gathered the main force, looted Dingzhou and Xizhou again, burned, killed and looted countless people, causing great losses to our Tang Dynasty..."

Xiao Nan frowned, his face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu became even more happy, and continued: "The reason is Madam's fault. Alas, who made Madam act so recklessly and dared to hide the important treasures of the court? Husband has already written a letter to the sage, intending to kill the Cui family. The firearms workshop was dedicated to the imperial court, and Mrs. Pian insisted on concealing the memorial of the Lord Lang for her own selfishness, and even manufactured a large number of firearms privately, which gave the Turkic people an opportunity..."

What, Cui Youbo has long wanted to enter the dedication workshop, but she has been preventing it?Also hid Cui Youbo's letter?

This, what kind of nonsense is this!
Xiao Nan was amused, and said angrily: "So, Cui Suchun also thinks everything is my fault?!"

There is really no excuse for wanting to commit a crime, Xiao Nan finally deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

Nonsense, Wu Shi unceremoniously gave Xiao Nan a supercilious look, then took two steps forward, crossed the defense line of the guards, leaned into Xiao Nan's ear, and whispered: "Madam and Mr. Lang have been husband and wife for many years. Since I know that Lang Jun’s greatest wish is to inherit the ambition of his father and ancestors and glorify the Cui family, now that his official career is just right, how can he ruin his future just because of you?”

Xiao Nan bit her cheek hard, panting heavily, although she knew the truth in advance, but at this moment, hearing someone say that with her own ears, she still felt angry.

Feeling Xiao Nan's repressed anger, Wu felt relieved, and she continued, "Yes, you are the daughter of the eldest princess, and you have the title of Mrs. Yipin. I can't let you go, but I can't let you go. You have dragged the entire Cui family down, so Ma'am, you should stay in Da Ci'en Temple, although it is a bit poor, but at least you can still retain the name of Madam Cui, and your children will not be affected, right?"

Yes, it's you big head ghost!
Xiao Nan could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, she directly swung her palm, and slammed it towards Wu Shi.

It's just that the hand that he didn't want to wave was firmly grasped, Xiao Nan was extremely angry, and shouted: "Al, you are bold!"

It turned out that Wu Shi had learned the lesson from last time, and she had already become wary. Before she approached Xiao Nan, she secretly winked at Al.

Although Al didn't want to confront the mistress directly, his master was Uncle Cui, and Uncle Cui repeatedly told him to protect Mrs. Wu and the child in Mrs. Wu's womb. Now that his wife wanted to do violence to Mrs. Wu, he had no choice but to bite the bullet shot.

A pair of big hands firmly grasped Xiao Nan's wrist, Al showed a look of embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, I just followed orders, please forgive me!"

"Haha, Mrs. Xiao, you never dreamed that today would happen, did you?!"

Cool, it's so cool, Mrs. Wu poked his head out from behind Al, squinted his eyes with a smile, and shouted triumphantly: "Mr. Lang is back, the Cui family has a master, you Do you still think you are the master of the Cui family? Let me tell you, the lord has despised you a long time ago, and now you have caused such a disaster for the Cui family. Because of the Xiao family, the lord can't accept you, but since then, You don't want to be the same again..."

"Madam~"

Yu Shui and Gu Yu were in a hurry, they wanted to rush up to protect Xiao Nan, but they were grabbed by several guards.

Yushui reacted quickly, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Safflower, red calyx, red mulberry... sisters, come quickly, Madam is being bullied!"

Yes, how many safflowers are there?

Yushui's words reminded Xiao Nan that her gaze swept and scanned the small courtyard, as if searching for the four red figures.

Wu has been paying attention to Xiao Nan's every move. Seeing this situation, she became more and more proud, "Don't bother, madam, your four female guards have already been taken away by Mr. Lang. Tsk tsk, you don't know yet Well, Mr. Lang has a dark guard that you don't know about. They are all very skilled, and they are only loyal to Mr. Lang. As early as this morning, Mr. Lang ordered the guards to "dispose" of the four lowly maidservants. .”

Yushui was startled, and shouted: "What, you, you put Sister Honghua and the others—"

She couldn't go on, because she really didn't dare to imagine that something bad happened to Honghua and others.

Wu stood up directly from behind Al, and laughed heartily, "That's right, those lowly maidservants have already gone where they should go. And you~~"

His eyes swept over Xiao Nan and the maidservants one by one, and said word by word: "And you don't have to worry, after tomorrow, hehe, you can be reunited with them!"

When she uttered the word 'reunion', her tone was piercingly cold, and only the rain and Gu Yu shivered.

Creaking, Xiao Nan gritted his teeth, and gently turned his other free hand.

"Ah~"

Al and Wu screamed in unison.

It turned out that on the back of Al's big hand holding Xiao Nan, and on Wu's shoulder each had a copper coin with extremely sharp edges, and blood dripped down.

The trapped hand was finally free, Xiao Nan didn't delay any longer, waved both hands together, and threw out a dozen copper coins like a rain of flowers.

"Ah~"

"Ouch~"

"Well!"

More than a dozen people screamed one after another, Yu Shui, Gu Yu and other little maids who were caught by the guards took advantage of the situation to break free, and they quickly rushed to Xiao Nan, kicking, kicking and fisting He swung a dozen injured people out of the small courtyard, then closed the door of the small courtyard forcefully, and finally put the latch on the door.

"Ma'am, will they force their way in?"

Yushui and Gu Yu were worried that the gate would be breached, so they leaned against the door panel and asked out of breath.

Xiao Nan rubbed Al's red wrist, said with a sneer, "Don't worry, after what happened just now, they dare not act rashly." At least until tomorrow, they will not provoke him again.

Yu Shui swallowed nervously, and still asked worriedly: "Madam, then, what shall we do next? Do you want to send a letter outside?"

Sister Honghua and the others may have already been murdered. Although she and Yushui are loyal, they are not very capable. If the bad guys outside do another murder, they will not be able to protect Madam at all.

Xiao Nan raised his eyes to look at the sky, saw the sun began to slant to the west, counted the time silently in his heart, shook his head and said: "No need."

Even if the letter was delivered, no one came to rescue her.

Because at this time, no matter whether it is Aniang, Aye or the others, or her cronies who have placed in the dark, they are all busy according to the established plan.

In addition, the sage will leave Beijing tomorrow, and even Li Rong and the others are busy packing their luggage and preparing to accompany them. Even if they forcefully send the news, they have no time to take care of themselves.

Also, Wu's daring to directly lead people into the Da Ci'en Temple shows that the matter has reached the point where nothing can be seen, maybe Ping'an and the others have already made a move.

If this is the case, people outside will be even more ignorant of themselves.

Asking for others is better than asking for oneself, Xiao Nan sighed silently in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said arrogantly to the maidservants: "Don't worry, there is no one next to your wife, but there are plenty of flying money."

She deliberately raised the volume, and shouted in a voice that anyone outside the door could hear: "If there are any blind people who dare to come in and provoke, come in, Madam Ben will kill one. Hmph, this time they are offending, Ben Madam just punished me lightly, next time Madam will directly attack the throat!"

Yu Shui and the others were overjoyed, and echoed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, why did the servant forget that Madam is best at flying money, thinking that when the King of Wu was in trouble, Hou led others to harm Madam, but Madam 'disposed' them all in the end. Now it’s just a few daring and reckless rats and dogs, Madam will be able to deal with it easily!”

A dozen or so injured guards outside the door were stunned when they heard this, and they were so polite, why did they bring up "King Wu's rebellion"? Could it be, could it be that this matter is not as simple as the princess said.

These people are not fools to be guards in the Princess Mansion, especially the chief guard, who seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened, he swallowed his saliva, stared at the door panel for a while, then slammed He fell back and 'passed out'.

The other guards followed suit, closed their eyes and passed out.

Seeing this situation, Al didn't care about the injury on the back of his hand. He squinted his eyes and looked at the closed courtyard door, then glanced at the 'fainted' guard, his mind was full of thoughts, and finally said to Wu hesitantly: "Aunt Wu, Mr. Lang just asked his wife to rest in the Temple of Mercy for a while, and he didn't say that he would hurt her. Are we—"

It seemed that I had overdone it just now, and after thinking back on what happened just now, even if Al was a simple-minded vulgar person, he would have noticed something was wrong.

Cui Defang was the only one who was not injured, and he also stepped forward to persuade him: "Yes, yes, madam, after all, she is still madam!"

"..." Wu shi covered the wound on his shoulder and stared at the door angrily. After a good idea, he nodded stiffly, "Let's go!"

But I secretly swear in my heart, Xiao Shi, let you be arrogant for another day, and after tomorrow is over, I will personally kill you!
