The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Ling Xiao raised his sword to block the arrow. The arrow turned in the direction and pierced the calf of the sedan bearer in front.

The sedan fell to the ground with a clang. The moment the sedan landed, Ling Xiao jumped out of the sedan, landed on the ground, and looked up at the man in black standing on the roof.

The man wore a veil, but Ling Xiao still recognized him at a glance, Yang Zhi!
His good uncle taught him riding and shooting since he was a child, and he respected this uncle like a father.

The man in black looked at Ling Xiao, slowly raised his arm, and then waved it down forcefully. More than 20 people appeared on the roofs on both sides, holding bows and arrows, pointing at Ling Xiao and others.

After all, he underestimated Yang's determination to get rid of him.

Ling Xiao glanced at Changfeng beside him.

Changfeng fired a buzzer into the sky, and the sound of "Woo-Woo" spread far into the distance.

When Yang Zhi saw that the situation was not good, he shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

But he was still a step too late. Ling Xiao had already taken careful precautions and would kill or capture them within a quarter of an hour.

Ling Xiao had the opportunity to shoot Yang Zhi, but he still couldn't bear to kill him and let Yang Zhi escape.

When Ling Xiao saw the emperor, he knelt down in front of him and called out "Your Majesty" sadly.

"Who wants to kill you on Zhuque Street?" The emperor's beard trembled with anger: "Who is so bold? How dare you do such a thing under my nose?"

"There were 21 assassins in total on the street. Seventeen died, three were captured alive, and one escaped." Ling Xiao said, "I don't know how to deal with these people. I leave it to the emperor to decide."

"Twenty-one people, seventeen will die, three will be captured, and one will run away," the emperor repeated word for word, and asked, "How many people did you bring?"

"30 people." Ling Xiao said with a bitter face: "There are only 30 people around me. This time, 25 people were injured and two died."

"Don't you always boast about how powerful your people are? Now thirty versus twenty, one of them actually escaped?" The emperor looked surprised, "You can't beat one and a half versus one, what else do you have to brag about? of?"

"They are all rare masters." Ling Xiao whispered unconvincedly: "Besides, they use arrows, which are suitable for long-distance attacks."

"Don't tell me these useless things! I just ask you, who wants to kill you?" The emperor asked impatiently: "What are you singing in Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion recently? It's endless, prepare to make trouble Until when?”

Ling Xiao looked up at the emperor, and his eyes suddenly became wet.

The condescending man in front of him actually showed concern for him in his words.

"I want to wait for my father to come back. I want to hear what he has to say." Ling Xiao said hoarsely.

"I also want to hear what he will say." The emperor looked at him and said, "Give Li Zhuo all the people arrested today and let him interrogate them."

Li Zhuo is Li Wenji's father. He has watched Ling Xiao grow up, and based on Li Wenji's actions in the past two days, it can be seen that Li Zhuo will definitely side with Ling Xiao.

The emperor still faced him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Xiao was grateful to the Emperor.

"Do you need me to send you more men?" The emperor asked again: "Your life is at stake and you won't be able to survive your father's return to Beijing."

"Although the 30 Weichen people were injured, they were not serious. The other party's losses were more severe than mine. There should be no more actions in the short term." Ling Xiao said with a somewhat proud smile.

"Ling Xiao, I have always valued people, not birth." The emperor said pointedly: "I have written down this account first. If you want to pursue it, just tell me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ling Xiao met Li Zhuo at the palace gate.

"Are you okay?" Li Zhuo looked Ling Xiao up and down.

"I'm fine." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "The emperor asked that the person be handed over to Mr. Li, and please pay more attention to Mr. Li." Li Zhuo nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will let them explain the matter clearly."

Ling Xiao was very moved.

Few people who serve as officials in the court are fools. Everyone has seen something fishy about the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion.

He didn't expect that both the emperor and Li Zhuo would care for him so much.

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Ling Xiao saluted Li Zhuo with his fists clasped, then turned around and walked out of the palace gate with his head held high.

Mingfeng helped him get on the carriage and said, "20 people came to the Hou Mansion five days ago."

"Yeah." Ling Xiao nodded.

He had already guessed that he was from the Yang family.

Is Yang crazy now?

Why was she so eager to get rid of herself?

Ling Xiao's heart moved, and he opened the curtain and said to Mingfeng outside the car: "You should go back and prepare now. In half an hour, I will take 20 people out of the city and along the official road to meet the Marquis."

"Leave Beijing now?" Mingfeng reminded with disapproval: "We don't know how many people are outside the city. If there are too many of them..."

"They want to kill me with one blow. It's impossible for anyone to be guarding outside the city." Ling Xiao said with a stern face: "Fei Ge sent a message and asked Han Feng to lead people to meet me in Taiyuan."

"It's better for me to take the people to greet the Marquis." Mingfeng said, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you shouldn't travel long distances."

"I'm fine." Ling Xiao waved her hand towards him and whispered: "I'm afraid she will attack Mr. Hou."

"How is that possible?" Mingfeng looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, "The Marquis is her husband..."

"She has gone crazy." Ling Xiao sighed, "We only welcome five hundred miles."

Five hundred miles away, if he couldn't see his father, he didn't have to go any further. After all, his father didn't want to return to Beijing, so he had to make other plans.

On the other side, the main courtyard of Zhongyuan Hou Mansion was deathly silent at this time.

Yang and her eldest brother Yang Zhi sat across from each other, looking at each other without making a sound.

After a long time, Yang Zhixian spoke: "How many times have I told you? Don't do anything without complete preparations. Why are you so anxious? How are you going to end it now?"

"Now we have reached the point where either he dies or I die, there is no other way." Yang, who had not slept well for several days and nights, said hoarsely: "Brother, we have no way out."

"You clearly said that he only had six or seven available people, but today, three or forty people came out all at once, and they were very powerful in martial arts. All the guards I trained so hard fell into his hands." Yang Zhi thought about what he had brought with him today. The 40 people who came out were heartbroken and said, "Do you know how much effort our Yang family has put into these guards? Half of them are gone just like that!"

Yang frowned, "Brother, what's the use of talking about this now? You just said, how many people do you still have in your hands?"

"What else do you want to do?" Yang Zhi looked at her warily, "Father doesn't agree with your behavior at all. It's best for you to ask the Marquis to come back quickly and find a way to persuade Ling Xiao to make peace."

"He already knows that it was me who killed Aunt Yang and took revenge for killing my mother. Do you think we can still persuade him to make peace?" Yang sneered: "Besides, what my father said is simply not right. Ling Xiao is the heir, and I am just his clear intention." Mother, in our Yang family, he can help if he wants to. If he doesn’t want to help, no one can do anything to him. But Chen’er is different. My mother-in-law is the eldest, and you are Chen’er’s biological uncle. Only Chen’er becomes the heir. With the death of Marquis Zhongyuan, our Yang family can one day use the Marquis Zhongyuan Mansion to revitalize our family."

Yang knew that Yang Zhi's greatest wish was to revive the Yang family's reputation.

As she expected, Yang Zhidao said: "I brought 40 people outside the city..."

"You take these people to pick up the Marquis. Outside Taiyuan City, the people I arranged with me work together inside and outside to get rid of the Marquis and find a way to put the blame on Ling Xiao." Yang said bitterly: "Patricide. Sin, he will definitely die!"
