Chapter 204 Turning Danger into Safety (3)

It is not a secret that King Xuan Ping and his concubine came to Huaijiang Mansion.The way they appeared in Huaijiang Mansion was too strange, and even set off a wave of discussion in the city.

News from the common people always spread in all directions. Some people couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked around, and soon multiple versions came out:

"I've heard people say that our King Xuanping came here on a special trip to visit the government in secret, and went south to inspect and arrest corrupt officials."

"Nonsense, where did you hear the gossip. King Xuan Ping clearly came here to calm the flood in Nanhuai Mansion."

"Why didn't Ping Shui trouble go to Nanhuai Mansion, but came to our place? There are no guards or maids around? I think it's just a private visit!"

"Okay, stop arguing, both of you, what are you talking about." Someone said:

"My news is true--my family has relatives who work in the government office. The aunt of my second uncle and daughter-in-law said that King Xuanping and his concubine were assassinated by assassins in Guiyanzhuang, so this time they went to Huaijiang Mansion. Bring followers."

"Is this true or false? Who dares to assassinate the prince, don't die!"

"that is!"

"No, if you run into an assassin, it's impossible for the prince to be surrounded by guards. How could it be possible to come to Huaijiang Mansion just with the princess?"

Someone speculated: "Could it be that there was an accident on the road, or some powerful enemy, and all the guards were killed?"

The man said: "Hey, you guessed pretty well—the person who assassinated the prince is not a simple person, it is a well-known assassin organization in the world, called the Ecstasy League."

"Tsk tsk, those killers are vicious and powerful. Just a few people killed all the guards in the Xuanping Palace!"

"Hey, is this really the case?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you, listen to me..."

……

There is always an element of exaggeration in market rumors.Although there are some discrepancies between the facts and the version circulated in the market, judging from the final results, the rumors are also six to seven points correct.

When Fu Guan mobilized the soldiers and horses of Huaijiang Mansion to rush to Guiyan Village, the situation in the post house was indeed very tragic.

There were countless corpses in the courtyard inside the post house, among which, [-]% were killers in night clothes, and the rest were government servants under Xuanping Prince's Mansion and Lin County Magistrate.

According to reports from the investigators, when the soldiers and horses arrived, the on-site battle was over. Apart from the dead bodies in one place, only Xuanmiao Xuanyi, the maid Qingshuang, the county magistrate Lin, and several government servants who were hiding were left. , these few survivors.

County magistrate Lin was seriously injured. Fortunately, he took the detoxification pill in advance and saved his life. He was then sent back to the manor for treatment.

Qingshuang had never experienced such a thrilling scene, and she was still in shock when she saw the reinforcements.

Later, Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi were responsible for handling the follow-up matters.

They gave the prefect of Huaijiang an explanation, claiming that a group of rangers came to help that night, and the killers of the Ecstasy League were poisoned.

Fu Guan showed ignorance about this, so he praised Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi, and not long after that, he counted the troops, and immediately set off for Nanhuai Mansion, taking care of the flood and disaster relief first.

On the other side, after meeting Ban Xiyu and Qingshuang, they returned to Ban's mansion.

The two elders of the Ban family haven't seen them for a long time, and they are very sentimental, and it is indispensable to talk to each other.

Mrs. He hugged Ban Xiyu and cried for a long time, then Master Ban pulled her and asked her a lot of questions, after all, it was a question:
"Is King Xuanping treating you well? Did you suffer any grievances in the capital?"

Ban Xiyu naturally didn't say that she escaped from marriage, and she didn't dare to confess rashly. In fact, it was the daughter of the Ban family who had been lost for many years who took the bridal sedan chair instead.

She thought carefully about the brief reunion time not long ago, and answered after consideration:
"The prince has a good character and is an upright gentleman. How could he be wronged by me. Grandparents don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."

Ban Xiyu didn't dare to say too much for fear of revealing his flaws with his words, and then briefly separated from the two elders on the pretext of being tired on the way.

When it was time to rest in the evening, Ban Xiyu returned to the courtyard where he lived before leaving the pavilion, and his mood that had been tumultuous all day gradually calmed down.

Seeing that the furnishings in the courtyard remained the same as before, she felt emotional for a moment.

"The girl's boudoir is still the same as before. It can be seen that both the master and the old lady are thinking about the girl, and they are still taking care of it according to the girl's preferences." Qingshuang came to her side and said:

"It's just that when does the girl plan to... tell the master and the old lady about Miss Xiyue?"

Ban Xiyu hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and replied: "...I don't know." She was not sure when and how to confess.

Everything still needs to wait for everyone to meet and discuss it carefully before deciding.

There is no rush for this matter, Ban Xiyu can only suppress his emotions first, and wait for King Xuanping to come back after taking care of his official duties.

Besides, she was also worried about another thing: "I don't know what's going on with Xiyue and Brother Wen, but I hope everything goes well."

Ban Xiyu cut off contact with them after they parted at the inn.

According to the original plan, Lou Xiyue and Wen Jisheng would leave before the reinforcements from the Huaijiang Mansion arrived, but according to reports from Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi, something unexpected happened that night.

At first, the plan did go according to their expectations, the killers of the Ecstasy Alliance killed each other, and the fight was immeasurable.But when the poison of Meng Zongyin was about to dissipate, another unexpected visitor appeared in the post house.

The visitor rescued the delirious Boss Chen and sent helpers to stop Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi.

Lou Xiyue and Wen Jisheng didn't want to chase and kill the poor bandits, but the other party wanted to entangle with them, and almost made a death move, wanting to die with them.

In order to avoid hurting Qingshuang, County Magistrate Lin and others, they had no other choice but to distract the powerful enemy first.

Wen Jisheng and Lou Xiyue left in a hurry, and before they even had time to explain to Xuan Miao, they turned their heads and disappeared.

Xuan Yi went to search later, but did not find any traces of them, only said:
"At that time, I only saw them heading north, and the other clues... I have no way of knowing."

When Ban Xiyu heard the news, she couldn't help feeling anxious.

She thought that the person who rescued Boss Chen must be a killer in the Ecstasy League.

Being able to take someone away from Wen Jisheng and Lou Xiyue's subordinates shows that the other party has extraordinary martial arts and is definitely not an unknown person in the world.

Furthermore, no one can predict whether that group of people will have a second move.If they came prepared, deliberately designed to lure Wen Jisheng and Lou Xiyue away, and set traps elsewhere, wouldn't that be a disaster?
Ban Xiyu felt uneasy, but she had to hide it from the elders of the Ban family, so life was inevitably a bit tormented.

During the few days of waiting, she communicated with Fu Guan twice to inquire about Lou Xiyue and Wen Jisheng, but there was no news.After a few days of anxiety, she finally heard the good news seven days later——

"Girl, girl, good news, King Xuan Ping is back!" Qingshuang ran towards her in surprise.
