Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 331 Going out, Yingchu meets an assassin
Outside the north city gate, 30 soldiers stretched mightily to the horizon, and there was no end in sight at a glance. The torrential rain washed away the soldiers' armor, and the wet military flag was swished by the wind.

Qi Changjin led Yingchu through the people who were seeing him off, rushed straight to the front of the army, and only stopped when he reined in the horse.

A white horse ran out from the army and stopped in front of Qi Changjin. It was Qiao Shuyan.

"Changjin," Qiao Shuyan greeted, and his eyes shifted to Yingchu. She was tightly wrapped in a cloak, and Qiao Shuyan could only see her pair of dark eyes.

"Yingchu, why are you here?" Qiao Shuyan frowned, "Is Changjin going to take you out? Nonsense!"

Yingchu smiled at him, and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Qiao, for being the military governor. May Mr. Qiao have a safe trip and return triumphantly as soon as possible."

"I accept your good words." Qiao Shuyan loosened his brows. Since Yingchu said so, it is impossible for him to join the army.

At this time, several people came to protect a young man on horseback, and the three of them turned their heads to see that it was Li Chengyu, the eldest son of the emperor, who had arrived.

They got off their horses, and before they could salute, the eldest son of the emperor said: "The three are free! I was ordered by my father to send the army to the expedition. This journey is difficult and dangerous. I hope the general and the warlord will remember your kindness and take back the traitor. Thief leader, return in triumph!"

"My minister obeys the order!" Qi Changjin and Qiao Shuyan bowed in the direction of the palace.

"Give wine!" said the eldest son of the emperor.

Someone brought three glasses of wine, and even though they were covered by an umbrella, rainwater fell into the glasses, mixed with a little dust.

The eldest son of the emperor picked up one of the cups and said: "Drink the water and soil of the hometown, and the horse will travel thousands of miles. General, please!"

"Please!" Qi Changjin and Qiao Shuyan also raised their wine glasses, and the three of them clinked glasses and drank them all together.

The eldest son of the emperor said: "It's getting late, the rainy road is difficult, the general and the warlord should be careful all the way!"

"Wei Chen bids farewell!" The two men clasped their fists at him, then got on their horses.

They looked at Yingchu almost at the same time, Qiao Shuyan saw that she was not looking at him from the corner of the eye, laughed at himself, and rushed towards the army first.

Qi Changjin and Yingchu looked at each other deeply for a moment, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he pulled the reins, turned his head and left.

Yingchu chased after the horse and ran a few steps. The skirt and shoes protected by Qi Changjin, which were not exposed to any rain, were soaked by the heavy rain in an instant.

"I'll wait for you to come back!" Yingchu shouted loudly.

Xuanfeng slowed down, Qi Changjin turned his back to her, and finally did not look back, "Drive!" Xuanfeng galloped towards the front of the army.

The rain dazzled her eyes, and she tried her best to open them wide, watching Qi Changjin's figure disappear into the army, and she could no longer distinguish it.

As the army moved further and further away, it was like stepping into another world blocked by a rain curtain, and soon there was only misty water vapor left on the horizon.

An umbrella was placed on top of Yingchu's head, and when Yingchu turned his head, Li Chengyu said with an awkward expression: "You are still pregnant, go back quickly, so as not to catch the cold."

Yingchu looked at the young and mature eldest son of the emperor. If he knew that she was helping Concubine Zhen to conceal her pregnancy, he wondered if he would be kind enough to care for her.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yingchu said, "It's rainy and cold, Your Highness, please go back to the palace earlier."

Li Chengyu hummed, but didn't leave, until the Qi Mansion's carriage finally squeezed past the people who were seeing him off, and stopped in front of Yingchu, he said his farewell, and rode back to the palace.

Yingchu didn't have the time to guess the purpose of Li Chengyu's sudden show of favor, and once got into the carriage, he leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes.She didn't sleep all night last night, her body was tired, but various images flashed through her mind one after another, and many scenes that she had almost forgotten were scrambling to come out.

Yingchu pulled the corners of her lips with a wry smile, just after they parted, she began to miss Qi Changjin...

The people seeing off at the gate of the city hadn't dispersed yet, the carriage walked slowly for a while, and then got stuck in the crowd and couldn't move.

At this time, more than a dozen masked assassins suddenly flew out from the dark, stepped on the human wall and besieged the carriage. There was a sudden chaos all around, and the people screamed and fled, pushing the nearby city defense army for a while. Unable to come to support.

Seeing that the assassins' swords were about to pierce the carriage, dozens of Qi family soldiers dressed as ordinary people jumped out and blocked them with their swords.

"Take it down! Don't let any one go!" The leader of the government soldiers yelled, aimed at his opponent with a big knife, and slashed down like a torrential rain.

A five or six-year-old child seemed to be separated from his parents, crying and holding his head while crawling on the ground to hide, and crawled under the carriage in a panic.Then he suddenly raised his head, that wrinkled face was not a child, it was clearly a dwarf in his 30s.A blue dagger popped out of his sleeve, and stabbed towards the carriage like lightning.

After the blow, he quickly pulled out the dagger. Seeing that there was no trace of blood on the dagger, his expression changed immediately, and he turned over and rolled out of the car without even thinking about it.

But it was already too late, he uttered a heart-piercing scream, and flung the dagger away violently, his five fingers made a screeching sound as if they had been scalded by boiling oil, and the rainwater fell on them and immediately evaporated water vapor, The bones melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He struggled to chop off his hand, but he couldn't pull up any strength. He could only lie on the ground and squirm like a bug, wailing more and more fiercely, until half of his body was melted away, and he swallowed his last breath in pain. .

The assassins and soldiers were used to seeing death, but they had never seen such a strange and terrifying way of death, and they were taken aback for a moment.

"What are you in a daze for? Catch them." A cold voice came from the carriage, as sweet as pearls and jades touching each other, but to the assassin's ears, it was like the sound of a demon calling for death.

The government soldiers cheered up, the eldest young lady is so poisonous, why would they not be able to catch the assassin.Everyone's morale was immediately boosted, and their moves became more aggressive.

The assassin was terrified, and he couldn't help being afraid when fighting. When an assassin was kicked near the carriage and fell to the ground, he began to howl in pain, and then turned into a broken skeleton. The assassin was almost frightened, and soon fell into a disadvantage. , Some people can't help but want to escape.

In the end, except for a few martial arts masters who took advantage of the chaos and escaped, half of the remaining ten assassins died and three were captured alive.

After a careful body search, the government soldiers trotted to the window of the car and reported, "Young Madam, I found a token from them."

A hand as white as jade stretched out the car window, and the government soldiers quickly lowered their heads and presented the token.

Yingchu looked at the token. It had a strange shape, half oval and half curved like a flower. The word "Zhu" was engraved on the front and the word "kill" was blood red on the back.

Yingchu curled his lips coldly, threw the token out of the window, and said, "Send the assassin and the token to Dali Temple."

The man responded, and yelled at a few people to take the assassin away, while the rest surrounded the carriage and escorted the carriage back to Duke Qi's mansion.
