Lord please be gentle

Chapter 13: Chapter 13
Xiao Mei never expected that she would be involved in an assassination operation, and she became the most unlucky and tragic tool—a human ladder!
The three assassins stepped on her shoulders and jumped up, from three different angles, they rushed towards the huge ornate phoenix chariot, and in the phoenix chariot was the most beloved imperial concubine of Emperor Sheng today—Nangong Ying!

The three assassins obviously knew that the phoenix chariot was made of special materials, and ordinary back arrow weapons could not penetrate it, so they simply gave up all their weapons and went into battle directly carrying iron buckets.

The moment they pounced on the phoenix chariot, the three assassins dumped the tin buckets in their hands towards the phoenix chariot, and a pungent smell immediately permeated the air.

"Not good! There are assassins!"

"No, it's tung oil!"

"Protect the noble concubine!"

……

The scene was chaotic, and the guards of the Royal Forest Army stepped forward to stab the three assassins with swords and swords. Unexpectedly, the three assassins didn't think about surviving.However, almost at the same time, the phoenix chariot that was splashed with tung oil ignited raging flames.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Feng Nian was fully prepared to resist the assassins, but he was not able to resist the fire.The windows are covered with dense barbed wire to ensure that no hidden weapons will be shot in. Of course, the people inside will never want to escape from the windows.The only exit was also closed with a wire mesh door made of the same material, and with a copper lock on it. It was not easy to open that wire mesh door when the fire was raging.

Xiao Mei heard the terrified scream of the woman coming from the phoenix carriage, and the rescue measures of those guards lacked professional standards, saving people was like putting out a fire, and there was no delay, so she took decisive action. "Get the quilt and towel quickly, I can rescue the imperial concubine! Quick!"

Seeing that someone brought a big wooden bucket full of water and was about to splash it on the burning phoenix chariot, Xiao Mei quickly stopped her: "No way! The fire burns into it faster if the water is poured on it, and the people trapped inside will die even if they don't die." burn!"

Oil is lighter than water, and it will still burn when it floats on the surface of the water, and it will also be washed into the phoenix chariot by water. Every drop of water is a small burning fireball, and the situation is even more unmanageable.

The guards panicked. They couldn't find the copper lock in the flames. They desperately tried to hit the wire door. Their clothes and skin were scorched by the high-temperature wire, and they even smelled like burnt human skin.

Someone brought quilts and towels, Xiao Mei instructed them to soak the quilts, she then soaked two towels in the wooden bucket, and asked people to cover the soaked quilts to the exit of the phoenix chariot, and soon The flames at the exit were extinguished.

Then uncover the quilt, and now it is easy to find the copper lock.A deputy commander of the guard raised his knife and dropped the copper lock, and the barbed wire door was finally opened.

Xiao Mei covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel, rushed into the phoenix chariot without hesitation, saw a woman with the most gorgeous headdress and clothes through the flickering flames, she grabbed her and took another wet towel Covering her mouth and nose, said: "Ma'am, I'll get you out!"

Nangongying was about to be choked to death by the thick smoke, and the soaked towel undoubtedly saved her life. After covering her mouth and nose, her breathing was smooth, but the smoke was so hot that she couldn't open her eyes at all.Xiao Mei grabbed her bright wrist and dragged her out desperately.

"Cough...cough cough...cough..." Nangong Ying was disheveled, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. She still had the radiant beauty of the usual days.But at least she escaped with her life. When she coughed enough to open her eyes, she first looked at the woman next to her who had just saved her life, and said in shock, "Who are you?"

Xiao Mei knew that this was a very critical moment, so she knelt down on the ground without hesitation, kowtowed and said: "Ministers pass by, and when they see their mother in danger, they will stand up for righteousness!"

Nangong Ying was terrified when she saw that the maid who was rescued was burnt and another was choked to death by the thick smoke.If he hesitated for a moment, maybe he would end up the same way as the dead maid at this time. "It's hard for you to be a woman, with such courage and courage, I will reward you heavily!"

"Xie Niangniang's praise, this is what a girl should do!" Xiao Mei was worried that her identity would be exposed and there would be a lot of trouble, so she just wanted to get out as soon as possible. "Minnv only asks for the safety of her mother, not for rewards!"

Just when Nangong Ying was rejoicing for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, Wu Xudong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, stepped forward to report, "To the imperial concubine, the three assassins were beheaded on the spot!" After saying this, he raised his head and turned to Xiao Mei, and added: "But ...This girl seems to know the three assassins!"

Nangong Ying's beautiful eyes flashed, and before she could speak, Xiao Mei hurriedly shouted for grievances.

"Minnv is wronged! Minnv doesn't know these three assassins, she was just used by them as a shield. Besides, if Minnv has evil intentions towards her, how can she fight to save her!" Xiao Mei shouted Feeling wronged, but my heart is not good.She knows that those in power generally have the mentality that they would rather kill by mistake than let them go. If they suspect her, they don't mind whether a life is killed by the knife.

If she had known that today was so unlucky, she wouldn't have come out alone to find trouble!

Just when Xiao Mei kept complaining about being wronged and regretting in her heart, she only heard Nangong Ying's delicate and beautiful voice asking: "Since you said you don't know the assassin, then tell us your name. Who are you?" How come you don’t even have a servant when you’re away from home! I just rescued Ben Gong and I can see that you are a bold and talented girl. Gong Wuqing!"

Sweat was dripping from Xiao Mei's forehead, she was considering whether to give her real name or not.If the false report will be revealed soon, then the assassination charge will be confirmed; if the true report is true, then his plan to escape from Xiao's house will be in vain, and it may drag Mrs. Tang who covered it up for her.

While she was struggling in her mind, she heard someone beside her report: "I'm reporting to the imperial concubine, Mr. Nangong Yu is here!"

Nangong Yu? !What a coincidence!Xiao Mei secretly groaned, knowing that she couldn't hide her identity no matter what.

Xiao Mei was beating a drum in her heart, and heard the horseshoe galloping from far to near.As the horse was reined in and dismounted, there was a sound of boots.

The entire street has been blocked, and the pedestrians are driven to clear the place, and soon there is no one around to ensure that there will be no more assassins to make trouble.

A handsome and tall young man, wearing a dark blue brocade robe, a purple jade crown on his head, and a jade-encrusted long sword on his waist, hurried over surrounded by guards.When she got to Nangong Ying, she knelt down on one knee and said in a clear voice, "My nephew came late for rescue, please forgive me, my concubine!"

"Yu'er, get up!" Nangong Ying hurriedly stepped forward to help her nephew Nangong Yu, her nervous expression relaxed a lot. "Just come!"

Nan Gongyu became famous at a young age, his martial arts are world-class, and all the guards around him are top-notch masters.It is safe and appropriate for him to welcome Nangong Wenshi.

"Nephew has prepared another sedan chair, please move it!" Nangong Yu hurriedly let the aunt into the sedan chair, fearing that there would be mistakes if there were too many people.

Nangong Ying nodded slightly, just as she was about to set off, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Mei who was still kneeling there, she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows, and ordered: "Take this girl into custody for the time being, and hand it over to the Punishment Department to find out her name and surname before making a decision." Spend!"

Department of Punishment?Xiao Mei's scalp suddenly exploded, and if she entered there, she would lose her skin if she didn't die, how could she still survive!Make a quick decision and have no choice but to reveal your identity!
"Wait a minute, empress, please allow me a word!" Xiao Mei could only bite the bullet and raise her head. Although she was talking to Nangong Ying, her gaze was on Nangong Yu who was beside her. "The daughter of the people is Xiao Mei, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family in Yicheng. She once had a marriage contract with Mr. Yu. A few days ago, Mr. Yu repented of the marriage. It was a coincidence that Yang Cuo came to the aid of his mother when she was in danger!"

As soon as these words came out, Nangong's aunt and nephew looked at Xiao Mei in surprise at the same time, almost saying in unison: "Miss Xiao!"
