Yun Shang's intuition has always been very accurate, and this time was no exception. Maybe it was because the doors and windows were closed tightly due to the rain, and it was a bit stuffy. Yun Shang slept a little unsteadily, turning over and over again for most of the night, and was lost in thought.
When I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the sky.
Although Yun Shang was a little confused, her body was in a very alert state, so she quickly picked up the quilt beside her and lifted it up.
There was a sound of something falling to the ground, and almost at the same time, the lights in the room turned on, followed by a voice from the next room: "There is an assassin!"
Yun Shang opened the bed curtain and got out of bed. Qian Zhui held a sword in front of the bed. Yun Shang lowered his head and saw an arrow cut into two pieces on the ground in the room. When he raised his eyes, there was a film on the window.
There was a hole in the paper.
Yun Shang quickly raised her voice and ordered: "Protect the old lady, the assassins are on the wall, leave no one behind, kill them!"
The secret guard's response came from outside, and Qin Yi hurriedly walked in, taking a robe to put on Yun Shang. Yun Shang didn't care that her hair was still disheveled, and walked out quickly.
It was still raining outside, so I couldn't light a torch. I could only vaguely see figures flickering on the wall through the lanterns under the eaves. As soon as Yun Shang went out, the secret guards quickly surrounded Yun Shang.
The arrows continued to shoot, and Yun Shang quickly walked into the room next to her. Mrs. Zhao had also gotten up and was sitting on the soft couch in the room. The soft couch was originally placed by the window, but was moved to the corner.
There is no need to worry about arrows shooting in.
Qin Yi also quickly moved a chair for Yun Shang, and Yun Shang sat down next to Mrs. Zhao and said softly: "There are not many people on the other side. I'm probably just here to explore the road tonight, nothing serious.
"
Mrs. Zhao nodded. There was no fear in her eyes, but she was full of excitement. She raised her head and told the maid standing beside her: "Go and pour me a cup of tea."
The maid responded. There were swords and swords blazing outside, so she couldn't go out. She took the winter stove and took it to the side room to boil water and make tea.
"The last time your Majesty came here, he was in a hurry and didn't bring many guards with him. Qianyin sent a message to say that this time, your Majesty brought a lot of secret guards, and even the imperial guards and imperial guards were transferred together.
Most of the time, we just need to hold on for the next ten days and wait for His Majesty to come back, then we will be fine." Yun Shang rubbed his forehead and sighed softly.
Mrs. Zhao glanced at Yun Shang and then said with a smile: "I just discovered today that the princess is the real courageous one. There are swords and swords flashing outside, but the princess is still chatting with me here, which is really admirable.
"
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said nothing more.
After a while, the maid boiled tea and brought it over to pour tea for Yun Shang and Mrs. Zhao. Yun Shang reached out and touched the rim of the tea cup. It felt a little hot and put it aside.
The sounds outside gradually became lower. Even without going out, Yun Shang could roughly guess that the secret guards had almost solved the problem.
As expected, not long after, the door was opened, and Qianzuo and Wang Jinhuan walked in together. Wang Jinhuan saw that the two of them looked very relaxed, and exclaimed with some praise, "You guys really enjoy it."
Then he spontaneously took the tea cup, poured himself a cup of tea, opened his mouth and poured it down. As if he was burned, he stuck out his tongue and made a fan with his palm, fanning it randomly.
Yun Shang couldn't help but shook her head and smiled, turned around and asked Qian Zui: "How is the situation outside?"
Qianzuo responded quickly: "Not many people came. There were twenty-nine people in total, and they all stayed. I searched those people one by one, but I didn't find anything valuable."
Yun Shang nodded: "Since it was delivered to the door by myself, I must have been fully prepared, and there won't be any clues left. It doesn't matter, we just wait. If they fail this time, they won't
It's easy to give up. After all, Su Ruji and Su Qi are still on the road."
Just as he was saying this, he heard a scream coming from outside. Yun Shang heard the voice, which sounded a bit like Mrs. Zhang's, so she raised her eyes and winked at Qianzui, asking her to go out and see what happened.
thing.
He nodded and walked out quickly. After a while, he walked in with Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang looked a little pale and seemed to be frightened by the situation outside. When she saw Yun Shang, she stammered:
"What's going on...outside...outside?"
Yun Shang smiled, smiled at her reassuringly, and then said softly: "It's okay, it's just someone seeking death. Why is Mrs. Zhang here? You haven't rested so late?"
Mrs. Zhang seemed to have still not recovered her senses. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly realized, she quickly said: "I heard from my servant that there seemed to be some unusual movements here. I was worried that something was wrong with the princess, so I hurried over."
Yun Shang's eyes fell on Mrs. Zhang. She was wearing a jade hairpin, a pony bun, and a blue dress casually draped over her body.
"It's okay now. Madam Zhang doesn't need to worry. It's just that there may be some unrest in the mansion these days. I will tell Mr. Zhang tomorrow and ask him to strengthen patrols at night, and I will also send more secret guards.
At night, Mrs. Zhang should stop wandering around. These assassins are all here for me. Mrs. Zhang will be fine if she stays in her room." Yun Shang reminded kindly.
Mrs. Zhang was frightened out of her mind by the corpses outside. After hearing what Yun Shang said, she nodded hurriedly and glanced at the middle-aged woman who had been sitting quietly next to Yun Shang.
There were voices outside again, and then there were panicked footsteps. Qianzui quickly poked her head out to take a look, and then whispered: "Princess, this is Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Xing had already walked in in a hurry. His hair was disheveled and he was also wearing a cloak. A white tunic was faintly exposed underneath, and his shoes were worn inside out. When he entered the door, he hurriedly said: "Princess, Princess
,Is the princess okay? Have all the assassins escaped?"
Yun Shang raised her eyes and smiled reassuringly at Zhang Xing, and then said softly: "I'm fine, it's the assassins who are in trouble. The assassins have been dealt with by the secret guards..."
Zhang Xing breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes fell on Mrs. Zhang, he frowned slightly, then quickly turned away his eyes, and said softly: "I'm going to help dispose of these corpses, and by the way, check if there is a wireless connection."
So."
Yun Shang nodded, waved casually, and Zhang Xing left quickly. After Zhang Xing left, Mrs. Zhang also quickly saluted and left.
Mrs. Zhao looked at the couple leaving and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang are not as loving as the rumors say. At least, they do not live together."
Yun Shang smiled and did not refute, but simply said calmly: "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite."
Yun Shang stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark night sky outside. After being silent for a long time, she said softly: "I am only curious about one thing now."
Everyone in the room raised their eyes and looked at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang smiled lightly and then continued: "Logically speaking, these assassins only came to Lingxi for a day or two. It may not be a secret that we live in the city guard's mansion, but the secrets laid in this courtyard are
The guards are by no means a minority, how did they know that we live in this courtyard without alerting the secret guards?"
Everyone in the room frowned when they heard what Yun Shang said.
Yun Shang just raised the question, but did not want to get the answer. Seeing that no one could explain the reason, he stopped worrying about it.
After such a long night of commotion, Yun Shang felt a little sleepy. She asked Qian Zui and the others to cooperate with Zhang Xing in the investigation, and then went back to her room to rest.
For several days in a row, almost every night, assassins would be encountered in the courtyard where Yun Shang lived. Fortunately, the number of people each time was not too large, and they could be dealt with.
Until the night of the seventh day, it was a calm night.
However, everyone on Yunshang's side felt that something was a little unusual. Qianzui stayed outside the house all night, and even Mrs. Zhao got up twice during the night.
During the day, Yun Shang received a message from Luo Qingyan. Gan Ying's Yelang Kingdom army was almost wiped out by Luo Qingyan and Hua Guogong, but only Cangjue Qingsu escaped.
Yun Shang was not surprised. Cang Jue Qingsu was vicious, but also cunning as a snake. He was indeed an opponent worth fighting against. But at least this battle finally had a more satisfactory result, Luo Qingyan said
, will be back soon.
Yun Shang looked at the last six words, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of sweetness.
This is not the first time Luo Qingyan has left Yun Shang, nor has she been away for the longest time. But for some reason, Yun Shang feels that this time, the relationship between her and Luo Qingyan seems to be deeper. Perhaps it is because of this
The swan geese that fly around tirelessly every day to deliver letters may be the hidden thoughts revealed in the three or two sentences every day.
Yun Shang thought that this time, she seemed to have really sunk in completely. But luckily, Luo Qingyan's sunk in didn't seem to be much shallower than hers.
When Yun Shang thought like this, her heart couldn't help but beat suddenly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
For three days in a row, everything was calm at night.
"Perhaps it's because the first wave of assassins didn't come in many. After several days of killing, we have almost eliminated them all." Qian Zui said softly.
Mrs. Zhao sat aside and took a nap, listening to Qian Zui's words, but she shook her head and said: "I feel like a storm is about to come."
Yun Shang smiled and listened to the words of the two people. When she saw Mrs. Zhao looking towards her, she said calmly: "In the past few days, I have been thinking that the assassins came to assassinate them for seven consecutive days and nights, except for the first one."
On that day, I can understand that they just came to explore the road. But why were there only a few assassinations in the following days? There were thirty or forty people every day, and there were two or three hundred people in total. If it was two or three hundred
If we work together, wouldn't the chance of success be much greater?" (To be continued)
