Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 677
"This assassination is a bit strange." Xiao Baorui took advantage of the situation and sat on the grand master's chair on one side, with a dim light shining in his eyes.

"how you said that?"

"Although with my current martial arts, it's no problem to fight one against a hundred, but think about it carefully, lady, isn't that rain of arrows a little strange?"

Hearing these words, Tang Huanxi immediately lowered her eyes, thinking seriously.

Although those people were aggressive just now, they actually didn't strike ruthlessly.

Xiao Baorui has to protect her all the time, so he spends more time defending and not attacking.

If those people rushed forward, she and Xiao Baorui would definitely be injured!

And when the brothers from the Hongluan gang arrived, those people were obviously restrained, and even their behavior of begging for death was so unified.

"Xiao Baorui, do you suspect that those assassins did it on purpose?"

"Well," Xiao Baorui nodded lightly, with a low tone, "Lady, our identities are now clear. So in a short time, neither Murong He nor An Xiuhui can take action against us."

"Then where did these assassins come from?"

"I do not know either."

The fireworks are rotten, and with the grand fireworks ending, the New Year's Eve Lantern Festival in Yunshui County also ended perfectly.

It's just that the news that Xiao Baorui and Tang Huanxi were attacked by assassins immediately reached Qi Yan's ears!
Qi Yan's face suddenly became gloomy, and he was speechless in the atmosphere!
Why are these people so restless?

If any clues are revealed, their hard work of planning for so many years will come to naught!

Thinking of Xiao Baorui who was so suspicious, Qi Yan suddenly felt a splitting headache!
At dawn, Xiao Baorui, who hadn't slept all night, looked at Tang Huanxi, who was sleeping peacefully by his side, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

But thinking of the assassination last night, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Who were those assassins last night?

It was obvious that those assassins didn't really want his life, but the murderous intent released from those people was overwhelming.

So those people really wanted to take the lives of themselves and their wife, but for some reason, they had to restrain themselves deliberately.

Just as Xiao Baorui was thinking deeply, Qian's voice sounded outside the door.

"Baorui, Huanxi, are you up yet?"

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Well, Master Qi from the county government heard that you were almost assassinated last night, so he came here specially to see you."

"Okay, I see, sister-in-law."

Xiao Baorui put on his clothes swiftly, with a dim light shining in his eyes.

At the lantern festival last night, Qi Yan clearly arranged everything.

But when he was fighting those assassins, those people in the yamen chose to turn a blind eye.

It is conceivable that there must be some connection between those assassins and this mysterious Master Qi.

"General Xiao?" At that time, Qi Yan had been brought to the side hall by Qian Shi, and he picked up the teacup to suppress the anxiety in his heart.

Just when he was thinking about how to face Xiao Baorui, the other party had already quietly appeared in front of him.

wow-

The teacup in his hand fell to the ground instantly and shattered.

"Master Qi, is my tea too hot? Why are you so nervous?" Xiao Baorui looked at him and smiled heartily, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Facing his fierce gaze, Qi Yan's heart trembled slightly, but his face was as calm as ever. He bent down and bowed to Xiao Baorui, "I heard that General Xiao was chased by assassins last night. I am really worried, so I just I came to the door rashly, I don’t know if General Xiao is okay? Was he ever injured?”

Xiao Baorui raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"I heard that Master Qi is very trusted by Mr. Song, aside from the assassination I received last night. The New Year's Eve Lantern Festival last night was still very successful. No wonder Master Qi is loved by the people of the entire Yunshui County."

Qi Yan immediately bowed his head and bowed, not even daring to say anything.

"General Xiao has won the award, and the officer is just following Master Song's orders."

"I heard that Mr. Song has been promoted, maybe we will have Master Qi's wedding wine soon?" Xiao Baorui took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the Grand Master's chair beside him, his voice was so low that he couldn't hear the slightest emotion, "It's just a little girl. Will the county magistrate wronged Master Qi?"

"General Xiao, I don't dare to think about it." Qi Yan said in a deep voice with a straightened tone.

"Oh, really?" Xiao Baorui laughed, but the laughter was full of sarcasm, "Qi Yan, you are so brave, how dare you bribe an assassin to teach me a lesson?"

Xiao Baorui suddenly jumped up angrily, shouting angrily!

Qi Yan hurriedly knelt down, feeling the incomparably fierce aura suddenly released by the other party, a thick layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

"General Xiao, calm down. It is indeed the negligence of the subordinate officials that gave the assassin an opportunity to take advantage of it. Please forgive me, General Xiao!"

"When I took my family to the Lantern Festival last night, I was full of praise for Master Qi. After all, the arrangements for the Lantern Festival last night were very strict." Xiao Baorui suddenly turned his anger into a smile. With one hand, he personally helped Qi Yan up, "Master Qi, don't be nervous, this general just made a joke with you. It's normal for this huge lantern festival to have omissions. Fortunately, these assassins met General, if you hurt innocent people, wouldn't Master Qi be even more worried?"

"Your Excellency is concerned about the country and the people, which is really an example of a low-ranking official." Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not a good example, but there is one thing that is really strange."

"Please tell me, my lord?"

"Last night's lantern festival was very lively. There were quite a few vendors, and one of them sold masks of various animals. It's just that when the assassins arrived, my wife and I wore masks, but those at the moment It is indeed too strange to rush straight towards me and my wife."

Following Xiao Baorui's questioning, a dense layer of cold sweat fell on Qi Yan's forehead.

He hurriedly raised his sleeves and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"It's all the negligence of the subordinate officials, the dereliction of duty of the subordinate officials, please punish General Xiao!"

Seeing Qi Yan with such a good attitude, the smile on Xiao Baorui's face became colder and colder.

"Forget it, Master Qi doesn't have to blame himself for this New Year's Eve, but our guards in Yunshui County should be more careful and strict." Xiao Baorui waved his hand, indicating that he would not pursue this matter any longer.

In the end Qi Yan apologized again and again, then turned and left.

The moment he returned to the county government office, Qi Yan felt his whole body go weak.

The young master is right, Xiao Baorui is not an easy person to deal with.

Those restless people should also learn a lesson!
In case they don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, it will ruin everyone's hard work for many years!

Tang house.

Xiao Baorui leaned back on the chair, lowered his eyes slightly, and said nothing.

Hong Yan stood in front of him, a little worried.

"Have you found any clues?"

"Reporting to the young master, the brothers have searched the entire Yunshui County secretly, but they still haven't found it."

"Those assassins must have plots. If Qi Yan is one of them, it means that their roots are very deep. How can we easily find their lair? So don't be discouraged. I believe that they will come back soon." Will come to the door to make a mistake."

Today he has secretly warned Qi Yan many times, if he still can't understand his meaning, then the consequences are beyond his control.
