Under the light of the bonfire, there is another face with pear blossoms and rain.
Women always look particularly attractive in harsh environments. Miss Wang is not a beautiful lady, but she always has an indescribable charm about her. At this moment, Beitha bit her lip and grasped the hem of her clothes helplessly with both hands.
That pitiful and helpless expression really makes everyone feel pity for him!
Zhu Yunxi walked over slowly and asked, "Miss Wang, is your mother feeling better?"
Miss Wang didn't dare to look at him, she lowered her head like a mosquito, "I woke up just now and ate some solid food, but the night wind was cold and my mother was sick."
"Old Li!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"Here it is!" Li Jinglong stepped forward, "Third Master, please give me your orders!"
"Send some things to keep out the cold to their mother and daughter!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Also, light some bonfires around them. The old man is already in poor health, so don't let the disease get to him again!"
After the flood, the Central Plains was filled with mud, and dry firewood was hard to find. Zhu Yunxi and his party could only light a few bonfires, but he had to use them first.
"Got it!" Li Jinglong nodded in response.
"Young master, you are a good person!" Miss Wang suddenly raised her head, her eyes were shining, and she said, "They say they never say thank you for a great favor, but you know that it is really inhumane not to repay a favor. The little girl is bold and dares to ask Mr. Gao Gao's name.
.If I have a chance in the future, I will repay you!" Remember https://m in one second.
wxsy.
"My surname is Zhu!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and took two steps forward, "You said you would repay me, how would you repay me?"
Suddenly, the woman took two steps back, her face burning like a cloud. Then, she glanced at Zhu Yunxi with a charming look, and quickly looked away.
At this time, a fragrance suddenly floated in the air. The cook in charge of cooking prepared the meal.
"It's not enough to just eat dry food!" Zhu Yunxi laughed again, "Give your mother some hot porridge!"
"You are so kind!" Miss Wang said hesitantly, "My mother just said she wanted to thank you in person!"
"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, "Haha, I, a junior, can only do so much, so how dare I ask an old man to thank you!" He said, thinking about it, "Let's go and see your mother, I haven't spoken to her yet!"
After saying that, he ignored the other party and walked directly to the front, where the Wang family's mother and daughter rested.
They were next to the carriage of a truck, and the old lady of the Wang family leaned haggardly on the wheel. When she heard the footsteps, she opened her eyes and looked at it with some doubts.
"Mom, Mr. Zhu is here to see you!" the girl from the Wang family said with a smile.
"Thank you for saving my life, young master!" the old lady of the Wang family said with difficulty, "If it weren't for you, my life would have been in danger!"
"There's no need to say thank you, old man!" Zhu Yunxi took a few steps forward and said softly, "Eat some hot porridge!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard the word "hot porridge", he could clearly see that Mrs. Wang's eyes glowed with a different look.
Miss Wang put the porridge in her hands, and she ate it with big mouthfuls, regardless of how hot it was.
"Mom, please slow down!" Miss Wang glanced at Zhu Yunxi apologetically and said with a smile.
A large bowl of hot porridge was actually eaten by the old lady in several mouthfuls. She held it while looking at her daughter, and said with unfinished content, "Ni'er, is there any more?"
Miss Wang brought the bowl over, stood up, and said while passing the bowl, "Mom, you've been hungry these days, you can't eat too much at once!"
It's strange to say that there were so many people, but she didn't give the porridge bowl to anyone, but handed it to Zhu Yunxi.
But the latter not only didn't answer, but when she got close, he quickly took two steps back and hid behind Li Jinglong.
Miss Wang's expression suddenly changed, and just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly heard Zhu Yunxi shout, "Take it!"
Soon after that, Li Jinglong and several guards who were next to Miss Wang jumped up.
However, Miss Wang, a delicate woman, nimbly dodged and slipped directly through the gap between several people like a fish. At the same time, she flicked her sleeves and a cold light flashed in her palms.
She was now only one step away from Zhu Yunxi. Her soft eyes just now became extremely fierce, even a bit ferocious.
The cold light in his hand pierced Zhu Yunxi's neck directly, and everyone saw it clearly among the lightning and flint. It turned out to be a small and exquisite three-edged dagger.
"Escort!"
Jie Jin screamed when he saw it, and stood directly in front of Zhu Yunxi. He opened his arms and closed his eyes.
However, the imagined pain did not come, but he heard the other party suddenly scream in surprise.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Miss Wang clutching her ribs and falling to the ground fiercely. A crossbow was inserted deeply into her body, causing blood to flow out.
Next to Zhu Yunxi, Fu Rang appeared expressionlessly holding a military crossbow.
At the same time, several knives were coldly placed on Miss Wang's neck.
"Third Master!" Li Jinglong exclaimed, "Are you okay?" He was really scared to death. Just now he pounced on him, thinking that he would be able to catch her. But when the other party looked at the delicate woman, he was actually so agile.
With a creak, Fu Rang loaded the crossbow again, held it up and said, "Third Master, look at this woman's skills, she is a trained assassin. What she is best at is killing people with one strike when they are not prepared!"
Zhu Yunxi pushed away the frightened Xie Jin and looked at Miss Wang coldly, "Who sent you here?"
Miss Wang sneered and said ferociously, "How did you tell?"
"There are some things in your bones that no matter what you go through, you will never forget them easily!" Zhu Yunxi pointed at the old lady of the Wang family who was already stunned, and sneered, "She is not your mother at all! An old lady from a wealthy family, even if she is in trouble,
It’s not like there’s no etiquette at all. It’s not like it’s not about eating or not!”
"Besides, this old lady's hands look like they have done rough work!"
"Haha!" Miss Wang smiled sadly, "You, a grandson who grew up in a deep palace, actually know this. I underestimated you, my aunt did not lose unjustly!"
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Zhu Yunxi seems to be kind and soft-hearted, but in his heart he is always on guard against others.
Furthermore, although in this life he was the grandson of an emperor who was pampered and unconcerned with worldly affairs, in his previous life, he was the most observant.
Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, "Tell me, who sent you?"
"Since you are so smart, you should know that my aunt is a dead warrior and won't say anything!" Miss Wang said sternly, "I wish I could kill you!" After saying that, she suddenly turned her head and fell to the ground, twitching.
After a few beats, there was no more sound.
"She must have poison hidden in her teeth!" Li Jinglong shouted, "I should have known it earlier."
"You can't stop these people from dying!" Zhu Yunxi looked at Miss Wang's body expressionlessly, turned around and said, "Ask carefully and check!"
~~~
Sparks from the bonfire drifted in the wind.
The guards felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. No one could rest. They all stared with wide eyes and clenched their weapons on guard.
Zhu Yunxi was still sitting by the fire, but he didn't have any mood swings.
Assassin, assassin again, dead warrior assassin.
The person who was waiting for his convoy on the road knew his route in advance. Moreover, he pretended to be a damsel in distress to confuse himself. He must have been well prepared.
"Humph!" Zhu Yunxi sneered, his eyes particularly sharp.
"Third Master!" Li Jinglong and Fu Rang walked side by side, "Let's ask clearly!"
Zhu Yunxi raised his head and said, "Well, tell me!"
Li Jinglong said, "The old lady is indeed from Fugou, but she is an old lady from a farmer's family. She was separated from her family in the flood. But she has a nephew in Zhoukou, who is a clerk in a pharmacy. She came to join her nephew.
On the road, I met this woman, and they walked together. The assassin told her that they were companions, and if anyone asked, just say they were mother and daughter."
Fu Rang also said, "Tell the old lady now that her surname is also Wang. Her father was a scholar during his lifetime, but now he has no relatives!"
"It's a perfect lie!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and suddenly asked, "Where did this assassin come from?"
Li and Fu looked at each other, "I don't know!"
"Hey, you know the route that Gu is taking, and you pretend to be a poor woman. How can your background be simple?" Zhu Yunxi smiled and rubbed his hands, "He is a dead soldier again, haha, the person behind it is really a man with great hands and eyes!"
"Your Highness!" Li Jinglong suddenly knelt down and swallowed, "Go back to the capital! I didn't agree with your surrender from the beginning. If something happened, I would not regret my death. But we have a great Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand to stop him from talking, "Fu Rang, when you go to deliver the order, be strict with your mouth and don't reveal even a single word. Ruogu knows who talks too much."
"I obey your order!" After Fu Rang finished speaking, he turned around and passed messages to the guards one by one.
The old man is getting old, and Zhu Yunxi doesn't want him to know about these things. However, if the old man wants to know, he probably can't hide it.
"Come here!" Zhu Yunxi hooked his hand at Li Jinglong.
The latter crawled forward and heard Zhu Yunxi whisper, "Old Li, you are smart, help me think about it, who wants to harm me?"
Li Jinglong thought quickly in his mind, "Master, I really can't think of it!"
"Once in Huai'an, now again!" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "Do you really have a good temper if you are an orphan?"
Li Jinglong's burly body couldn't help but tremble. He knew what the emperor's grandson was talking about as if he had a mirror in his heart.
"Hey, I'm still enjoying such stupid means. The person behind it seems to be playing a game with Gu!" Zhu Yunxi laughed out loud, "One day, Gu Zhen will order someone to split his head open and see what's inside.
Everything!"
Although he was smiling, everyone could hear the sinister meaning in his words.
At this time, Liao Ming, the deputy commander of the guards, came over, saluted and said, "Third Master, I found two words on the woman's close-fitting clothes, which seem to be the logo of a tailor shop!"
"What word?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Qingji!"
Zhu Yunxi took the hook, wrote it on the ground, and then said, "Write it down and tell He Guangyi to check it later! However, I guess I was even more confused after checking it. Think about it, which woman in the world would buy something in a clothing store?
Close-fitting clothes! They try to cover up and disturb people’s sight, haha!”
~~~
It was getting slightly brighter and the motorcade set off again. The guards were nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Zhu Yunxi closed his eyes and meditated in the carriage, drawing two words on his legs with his fingers.
Yan! Huai!
"You guys!" I sighed in my heart, "Do it yourself! Once the old man leaves, your good days will come to an end!"
In fact, Zhu Yunxi already had the answer in his mind as to who it was. The only people in the world who were looking forward to his death were these two people.
As he thought about it, Zhu Yunxi's fingers changed from drawing two characters to one character.
Huai!
Then, he drew another word "Yan" and then put a question mark!
Suddenly, bursts of horse hooves were heard from the back of the motorcade, as well as the roar of the guards.
Immediately afterwards, a Colonel in Jinyi who looked like a clay monkey was dragged over.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has called you back to the capital!" Colonel Jinyi said roughly, covered in mud and water.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes widened. Although the floods in the Central Plains had subsided, the disaster relief had just begun. Why did the old man ask him to go back?
"What happened?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Your Highness, King Qin has passed away!"
