Chapter 736 Kill
In the early morning of the next day, the morning light suddenly appeared, and the whole city hadn't fully woken up yet, and the sound of the dawn drum sounded from the city gate tower.

The three thousand drums sounded, the gates of the city were opened wide, the gates of the squares were opened, and the sounds of horses and horses began to be heard on the spacious streets, and the capital city that had been silent for a night gradually became lively.

But these hustle and bustle do not belong to Da Ci'en Temple, the temple is still quiet, only the sound of bells and chanting from not far away makes this quiet courtyard a little more lively.

"Ma'am, the little monk has brought us some food!"

With two dark circles under her eyes, Yu Shui resisted the urge to yawn and came in with a food box from outside.

The expression was a bit weird, and although the words he said were affirmative, there was a bit of doubt in the words, as if there was something puzzled.

"Why, what's wrong with the food? Or did the guard outside the door make things difficult for you?"

Gu Yu was combing Xiao Nan's hair, and seeing the strangeness of the rain, he asked a question.

She didn't sleep well last night, something like that happened yesterday, she and Yu Shui were afraid that someone would come and hurt the master in the middle of the night, and wanted to stay outside the master's door all night, but Xiao Nan didn't agree, and insisted on ordering them to have a good rest.

Even so, the two slept with one eye open, and if there was any trouble, they would get up and look around with a pestle in their arms.

After tossing all night, the two servant girls and the rough servant girls hardly closed their eyes.

On the contrary, Xiao Nan slept dreamlessly until dawn, as if nothing happened yesterday, and when she woke up in the morning, she also had a calm face.

Yu Shui put the food box on the food table, opened the lid, carefully arranged the meals one by one, then took out a purse from the sleeve pocket, untied the purse, and took out a special silver needle from inside.

First, she wiped the silver needle with a clean handkerchief, and then she held the silver needle and inspected all the meals carefully.

The rainwater test was done very carefully, and it took a full quarter of an hour to finish the test. He let out a long breath and said, "There is nothing wrong with the food. The guards outside the door didn't make trouble either."

What confused her was the second thing. There was such a conflict yesterday, and Madam injured the guards with flying money. Although the injuries were not serious, it was a strike. The two sides were not enemies, but they were definitely not enemies. friend.

But just now when she heard the news and went out to get the food box, the guards were not at all unusual, not even the slightest bit of resentment or displeasure, and even smiled at her as usual.

This, this is too strange!
Xiao Nan had finished dressing, she stood up and asked Gu Yu to straighten the folds of her clothes, and brush off a few strands of hair that fell on her shoulders. After everything was done, she walked to the bed and gently lifted her He raised his sleeves and sat down cross-legged.

After hearing Yushui's words, she couldn't help smiling and said, "They are smart people!"

Yu Shui knelt in front of the food table, holding a pair of silver chopsticks in his hand, helping Xiao Nan prepare vegetables. Hearing this, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Ma'am, they are indeed smart!"

They were kicked out obediently yesterday, and they 'fainted' without exception, which shows that none of them are idiots.

Gu Yu's mind was not slow, and after a little thought, she also understood the meaning of Xiao Nan's words.

She knelt and sat on the other side of the food table, guarding a small red clay stove to boil water so that Xiao Nan could drink hot tea after meals.

"Ma'am, since they are smart people, shall we—"

Seeing that Xiao Nan had finished his meal, Yu Shui asked in a low voice while he was cleaning up the dishes.

Xiao Nan waved his hand and interrupted her, "No need, no matter how smart they are, they are also the guardians of peace." With just a few of them and the fact that he is an 'abandoned woman', he cannot win at all.

"My servant understands," Yushui said worriedly with a bitter face, "but, but if Mrs. Wu comes to provoke again today, she has that bastard Al by her side, but there are only a few of us. It's good that the guards don't intervene. If, if you help the Wu family, wouldn't Madam be humiliated by that bitch?"

Even if you can't win people over, at least you have to persuade them to stand on the sidelines.

"Yes, ma'am," Gu Yu held the freshly brewed hot tea, carefully placed it in front of Xiao Nan, and echoed in a low voice, "They are not stupid, they should understand the importance."

At least she should know that there is her mother's family behind her, even for the sake of the eldest princess, she will not embarrass her with a concubine.

Xiao Nan picked up the teacup, gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the water, took a sip, and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen today."

Sheng Jia is leaving Beijing today, counting the time, the other party should make a move, even if Wu family wants to trouble Xiao Nan, people in Ping An will not help.

Because compared to humiliating Xiao Nan, Ping An and the others still have "big things" to do.

But the subsequent facts proved that Xiao Nan still underestimated how deep Ping An's hatred for her was.

From Ping An's point of view, big things have to be done, and revenge cannot be let go.

No, when Ping An was busy moving, he still did not forget to tell his subordinates: "Tell the temple that everything is going according to plan. Also, before doing things, don't let Mrs. Xiao live too comfortably!"

She didn't just want Xiao Nan's life, she also made him suffer humiliation, torture and then die in pain.

The maid stood under the window outside the carriage, heard this, and bowed in response: "Yes, maidservant understands!"

Pingan raised her eyes and looked at the large troops that had already set off ahead, most of them were guards of honor of the eldest princess and the prince, and seeing those familiar brochures, she seemed to think of something, and asked: "By the way, how many children of the Xiao family are there?" Have you found it? Did they follow the eldest princess, or were they hidden in Cui's house?"

At the beginning, she asked Xu Mengbo to go to the market in casual clothes to find out the news, originally to find the whereabouts of the Cui family's quadruplets and a group of women and children, but she didn't want to find out that Xiao Nan had hidden a large number of firearms in the villa.

Although the final goal was not achieved that time, there were still other gains, and Ping An also slightly changed the plan in a timely manner, which severely tricked Xiao Nan.

Seeing Xiao Nan trapped in Da Ci'en Temple, Ping An was very relieved.

Although he couldn't kill Xiao Nan with his own hands as planned, but he could give her some training, and Ping An was very happy.

The maid lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Princess Qi, the servant girl just went to the eldest princess to inquire about it, and there are not a few children of Xiao Shi in the accompanying personnel. Presumably, they should be secretly arranged by Xiao Shi Where is it? It's just that the servants are incompetent, and they haven't found out exactly where their hiding place is!"

Ping'an's expression changed, and he scolded coldly: "You are indeed incompetent, how many days have passed, and you still haven't found out?"

The maid did not dare to speak, but just bowed her head and pleaded guilty.If it wasn't for worrying that others would look suspicious, she would have prostrated herself on the ground and begged for mercy.

Ping An scolded for a while, seeing that it was getting late, and thought that there was something to order, so he changed the subject and ordered: "Go and urge Mrs. Wu later, I rescued her from Cui's house, not to let her Those who go to Da Ci'en Temple to be domineering, she has to do things for me. Otherwise, otherwise, Xiao Shi's today is her tomorrow."

"Yes, the servant girl will go to the Temple of Mercy later!"

The court lady respectfully said yes again and again.

Seeing this, Ping An nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Remember, we must find those little brats as soon as possible, hmph, I want Mrs. Xiao to watch my children suffer all kinds of torture, but they are powerless to save them."

Although Ping An has never been a mother, she also understands that for a mother, the most painful thing is to watch her own flesh and blood suffer, and even die tragically in front of her.

Xiao Nan has six children, the older two are in Lishan, and they are protected, she can't do anything about it for a while, but the younger ones are--

Hmph, Mrs. Xiao, I have said it long ago, I will definitely make you come to a bad end, and make you regret what you have done.

Ping An habitually touched the scar on his forehead, with a cruel smile on his lips.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go!"

After giving the order, Ping An waved the maid back, then stomped on the floor of the carriage, and shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

The servant at the front agreed, and then trotted to the front of the queue to deliver a message.

The iron-clad guards of the Princess Mansion got on their horses one after another, and the convoy started to move slowly.

The wheels of the carriage rolled, and the frame of Princess Ping'an also merged into the traffic flow of the large army that collectively moved to Lishan.

The holy driver left Beijing, and the city was full of dignitaries. Thousands of horse-drawn carriages of various regulations forced the spacious Suzaku Avenue to be tightly blocked. The large troops started to leave early in the morning until dusk. Only then can he leave the capital.

All kinds of excitement also moved to Mount Li along with the large troops, and the entire capital returned to tranquility again.

And the Da Ci'en Temple was even more eerily quiet.

Looking at the golden crow falling to the west, Xiao Nan remained silent, before sighing softly after a long time: "Oh, they're all gone."

Yu Shui followed her closely, seeing that Xiao Nan was a little depressed, he quickly changed the subject with a smile: "Ma'am, it's getting late, let's go back to the house and eat some evening food. This time it was Gu Yu who brought people to cook. Su Zhai, but it is much better than those monks. Would you like to try it?"

"Oh? Gu Yu cooks?"

Xiao Nan withdrew his gaze, his mood calmed down a lot, and he nodded with a smile: "That girl usually likes to go into the kitchen the most, and she learned a few tricks from Yulian, and she has to try it out today."

With that said, she walked towards the courtyard.

Since the conflict happened yesterday, those guards seem to have learned their lesson today. At first, a few servant girls came in and out tentatively, and then Xiao Nan wanted to go out, but they didn't stop them.

Since people don't stop him, Xiao Nan is also happy to go out for a walk.

Locked in the small courtyard all day long, even though she is a house girl in her bones, she still feels like being in prison, and she still hopes to go out to get some air.

Xiao Nan didn't go far, and there were a few guards not far behind her, so she didn't have the mood to wander around.

When it was time for dinner, Xiao Nan turned around and walked back. After only a few dozen steps, he saw the small courtyard.

Suddenly, the back of Xiao Nan's neck felt a chill, and she had the illusion of being stared at by some dangerous animal. She stopped in her tracks, turned her head abruptly, and scanned all around with sharp eyes.

Who is it?

An assassin, or a voyeur?

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Xiao Nan's expression was not right, Yushui hurriedly asked with concern.

Xiao Nan raised his index finger to his lips, let out a 'hush', and said in a low voice: "Someone—"

Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed on the big tree on the side of the path——

"Xiao Shi, take your life!"
