Although the warriors trained by Su Yibo were extremely skilled, they were still not enough to deal with the secret guards disguised as knights.
In addition, they were still holding Zhao Jiang and his wife, so their skills were naturally limited. At a disadvantage, these people gritted their teeth and reversed the direction of their swords. They wanted to change their original plan and stab Zhao Jiang and his wife to death first.
.
However, the hidden guard moved faster than them, and penetrated their wrists with a sword.
Zhao Jiang and Duan were thrown to the ground, and their foreheads were swollen due to the impact of the ground. In this case, even though they were sleeping deeply, they still woke up.
As a result, Mi Mi opened her eyes and found that she was lying on the cold and stiff ground, with the shadow of a cold sword in front of her.
Zhao Jiang and his wife were frightened to the point of peeing. Their hands and feet felt so limp that they couldn't use any strength at all.
The secret guard in blue shirt turned his wrist, and the sharp sword light pierced the eye of one of the dead soldiers, causing his left eye to bleed immediately, and the dead soldier let out a scream. Several other people saw this and knew that this time
It was impossible for the mission to succeed. They exchanged a look with each other and retreated quickly, otherwise they would not be able to leave later if they wanted to.
As for Zhao Jiang and his wife, we can only say that they are lucky and will wait and see what happens in the future.
The people sent by Su Yibo quickly dispersed, but their dripping blood still remained on the ground. The smell of blood made Zhao Jiang and Duan collapse, Zhao Jiang burst into tears, "No, no
Kill me! I have money! I will give you whatever you want!"
The secret guard named Song Yi put the sword back into the scabbard and said with a depressed look: "Why should I kill you? If my brother and I hadn't been here tonight, both of your lives would have been lost."
"I see that you two are just ordinary people. Why did you offend those people just now?"
"They actually took you away from the inn, and when we called you to stop, they wanted to kill you. My two brothers and I are your saviors. You actually treat us as bad guys.
"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Jiang and Duan let out a long breath. After the breath came out, Zhao Jiang looked confused, "Did those evil people just come to kill us? But, but we
I don’t know them.”
Song Yi pretended to be confused, "This is strange. Since we don't know each other, why would they kill you and your wife?"
Zhao Jiang felt very aggrieved, "Isn't it true that they admitted their mistake? We have just arrived in the capital, how can we offend anyone?"
Song Er said: "Those people look like professional assassins to me. Ordinary people can't afford to hire them. For example, if some wealthy families want to hire our brother's protector, it costs five taels of silver a day."
Five taels a day!
Zhao Jiang took a breath of air. He had two thousand taels on him now, but he would not be willing to spend five taels a day on a guard.
Ordinary families couldn't afford to hire them... This meant that it was definitely not ordinary families who could hire those assassins. He and his mother-in-law had a good journey to the capital, but something happened on the first day they arrived in the capital...
After he and his mother-in-law met Rong Bo.
Zhao Jiang suddenly realized this and felt cold all over. Did Bo'er want to kill him and Duan? They were his biological father and mother, how could he be so cruel?
No wonder, no wonder he gave the money so happily. During the day, he had already made this decision, right?
The emotions of pain, shock, and fear turned into a tide, flooding his chest, neck, and even his nostrils... making it difficult for him to breathe.
Mrs. Duan had not yet thought about her son. As a mother, she would not naturally think that her son would want to kill her. She cried with snot and tears, "We must have made a mistake with the wrong person. Our husband and wife have always been kind to others.
We don’t know anyone in the capital, so why would someone want to kill us?”
She seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly grabbed Zhao Jiang's arm, "Tell me, could it be because we showed our wealth when we went shopping during the day, so they wanted to kill people to make money?"
Apart from this reason, she couldn't think of any other reason.
Zhao Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "The money we spent during the day was not enough to hire an assassin."
He looked at Song Yi and the others expectantly, "Heroes, can you escort us home? I'm willing to give you money!"
Song Yi shook his head like a rattle, "This can't be done. We still don't know who wants to kill you and your wife. What if the other person is someone our brothers can't afford to offend? Maybe the place will invite more people tomorrow.
Master, I can save you once, but we brothers don’t dare to risk our lives here.”
"I think you husband and wife should find out the reason why the other party wants to kill you as soon as possible and find a backer for yourself."
Zhao Jiang's face turned pale, "Backer..."
Rong Bo is nominally the emperor's nephew, who dares to offend him? Moreover, his future in-law is Uncle Su Yi. Even if he just came to the capital, he has heard about Uncle Su Yi. I'm afraid that even if he goes to report the case,
Before the case was brought before the adults, the person was already gone.
"Where can we find a backer? Who is not afraid of offending Uncle Su Yi?" He was cautious and did not tell Rong Bo's story immediately.
Duan looked at Zhao Jiang in astonishment, "You said the person who killed us might be Uncle Su Yi?"
But, isn't Suyi Bo's house the in-laws' family? They are in-laws. Duan's subconscious avoided the real answer.
Song Yi said: "There are many people who are not afraid of Uncle Su Yi. The one you are most likely to come into contact with is Prince Kang."
"Prince Kang is the emperor's younger brother. He was originally a prince, and he is said to be tolerant and gentle. But he was framed by Uncle Su Yi and demoted to the rank of prince."
"Uncle Su Yi is really cruel and ruthless. Prince Kang was also his former master after all."
What Song Yi said happened to be a popular view in the capital. He deliberately showed his admiration and appreciation for Prince Kang in his words, and introduced Zhao Jiang to Prince Kang.
The emperor's younger brother! He will definitely not be afraid of Rong Bo and Su Yibo!
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Zhao Jiang hurriedly said: "Heroes, could you please escort us to Prince Kang's Mansion now? We, husband and wife, have a very important matter to see Prince Kang." As long as Prince Kang is told the truth, Kang will
The prince will definitely protect them. Moreover, he can use this information to extract a reward from Prince Kang.
Rong Bo was ruthless to his biological father, so don't blame him for being unjust. He didn't want to die in the capital without any explanation.
Fearing that these heroes would refuse, he quickly took out the banknotes on his body, took out a quota of one hundred taels, and stuffed it directly into Song Yi's hand.
Song Yi accepted the banknote and said: "Well, it is fate to save you tonight. Then I will send you to Prince Kang's Mansion and wish you good luck."
