Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 173 Assassination
Hua Xiaoqiao naturally didn't dare to move, and now she didn't dare to go against the wishes of the few people.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached. Apparently the visitor also saw Hua Xiaoqiao, so he stopped and did not continue to move forward.

Hua Xiaoqiao asked in a low voice: "Who is here?" She was very nervous, after all, the few hiding in the dark were not kind.

The visitor probably didn't expect that there was someone in the alley, so he stopped.

"Who are you?" A thick male voice came. Hua Xiaoqiao didn't remember hearing such a voice before, which meant that she didn't know the other party.

Hua Xiaoqiao's voice was very calm, she still didn't want to involve anyone, she turned her eyes and said, "I'm looking for Granny Deng, if the front door doesn't let me in, I have to go through the back door, who are you?"

The other party obviously knew Granny Deng, so after hearing Hua Xiaoqiao say she was looking for Granny Deng, she immediately came up.

"As soon as you mentioned Granny Deng, I remembered it. I met you at Granny Deng's place before. You must be the little girl who learned how to grow flowers at her place before. I said why the voice is so familiar. I am also in charge of the palace. Flowers and plants, just because Granny Deng doesn't like people entering her garden."

Hua Xiaoqiao was a little nervous, she was worried that the few people in the dark would be unfavorable to the visitor, not to mention that she had met her now, and she would feel guilty if something happened.

The man had already walked in front of Hua Xiaoqiao, but because it was too dark, she couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"Uncle, you go first, I'll just follow behind." She didn't know what to do now, and those people didn't tell her what to do, so no matter what she said now, she felt uneasy.

"Let's go together." The man said with a smile, and at this moment all the people hiding in the dark rushed out.

The man didn't know whether it was instinct or loyalty. This happened very suddenly, but the man's performance moved her so much that he spread his arms to protect her behind him.

"Who are you?" The man's voice was thick, but Hua Xiaoqiao could feel the man's tension.

The man who threatened Hua Xiaoqiao just now said: "Since this man belongs to the palace, brother, he must also know the prince. I think I will kill this little girl."

The leading man was a little angry: "You brat, tie up this man and kill him."

When Hua Xiaoqiao heard that he was going to kill this man, she immediately crowded in front to block him: "If you have the ability, kill both of us. What kind of men are you if you hurt innocent people casually? Anyway, I told you to If you kill us, you will kill both of us, at worst, you will die."

She is a person who is easily moved. Just now the man almost instinctively stood in front of her and protected her behind her. Just this made her very moved.

The man pulled Hua Xiaoqiao to lean against the wall, Hua Xiaoqiao looked at the man regretfully: "I'm really sorry for implicating you, these people are not good people, I guess they want to harm the prince."

She said this because she was looking at any way to escape.

When the man heard that he was going to be unfavorable to the prince, he immediately thought of something, and stretched out his hand to grab Hua Xiaoqiao's hand: "Don't be afraid."

The man with a bit of acrimony spoke again: "Both of you have to die, the boss is getting late, if we don't go in now, it will be too late later."

The leading man nodded in the dark, Hua Xiaoqiao knew that something would happen.

"Tie up the man and stay in the corner. The girl's mouth is blocked and tied up for me. The man is still here. Fifth, you stay and take care of him. If he dares to move around, kill him directly, and then you join us .”

The man naturally wanted to resist, but Hua Xiaoqiao said in a low voice: "Uncle, listen to them. The most important thing is to save your life. You don't have to worry about me, I will be fine."

She stretched out her hand and said, "Tie it up."

The sharp-tongued man laughed: "Boss, this girl knows the times."

The leading boss was a little impatient: "Don't talk to me, just shut up if you have nothing to do, and if things get messed up later, be careful and I will clean you up."

Apparently the boss at the head loathes this man who talks a lot.

Hua Xiaoqiao understood that this group of people did not seem to be as peaceful as they appeared on the surface, and perhaps they could only find a breakthrough among these people later.

The man next to her was already tied up. Although the man in the middle was struggling all the time, it was of no avail. Hua Xiaoqiao was pushed forward by the leading man.

As he was walking, the man asked: "Do you know how it is not easy for people to find out how to enter the palace?"

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded cooperatively: "As long as you don't kill me, I promise to take you in and meet the prince. Now I don't even know my life or death. How do you ask me to tell you this? If I bring you in, you will kill me." Aren't I very wronged." Even when she thought back tonight, she didn't think why she would be so brave tonight, to negotiate terms with these men.

The leading man snorted coldly: "If you don't cooperate, you will die faster, I'm afraid you won't live to see the prince."

Hua Xiaoqiao suddenly lost her voice, and did not dare to continue talking.

The man said that these were not clearly threatening her, but sticking out his tongue, he was thinking about how to escape.

This is a straight alley. After walking a certain distance to the front, you will reach the gate of Granny Deng's courtyard, and then you will find the back door of the palace. She doesn't know where she is taking these people.

No, Granny Deng cannot be implicated.After thinking about it in her heart, she finally changed her mind. She was determined not to take these people to Granny Deng's place.

Then he went directly to the backyard, thinking that he had already reached the door of Granny Deng, and the group of men didn't find anything wrong with Hua Xiaoqiao.

Suddenly, the leading man walking behind grabbed Hua Xiaoqiao's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Where is the yard you passed by just now?"

Hua Xiaoqiao trembled when she heard that, she calmed down and said: "It is the flower garden of the palace, although you can enter the palace, but if you want to get to the prince, you have to go through at least half of the palace, so you will meet the guards. The chances are much greater. I don’t suggest you go to that small courtyard, it’s much faster in the back.”

After Hua Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the leading man let go of Hua Xiaoqiao and threatened: "You better tell me the truth. If you let me know that you are lying to me, I will see how I deal with you."

Hua Xiaoqiao waved her hand: "Don't worry, I won't lie to you, even if it's for my own life, I won't lie to you, just follow me."

Speaking of walking ahead and leading the way, Hua Xiaoqiao's actions reassured the man, and the leading man whispered: "Don't play tricks on me, just gag her."

Now that he is getting closer and closer to the palace, who knows if Hua Xiaoqiao will yell? He thinks that Hua Xiaoqiao is not easy. He wasn't worried or scared at all, but had a calmness that didn't match his age.

Hua Xiaoqiao shrugged and didn't say much.

The only thing she has now is cooperation.

Having arrived at the back door of the palace, Hua Xiaoqiao watched a man who was as light as a swallow go directly into the backyard of the palace, and then the back door was opened.

Generally, the guards are at the front, and there is no one guarding the back door at all. In addition, it is already late, and most of the maids and servants have already gone to sleep, so when a few people entered, they did not attract the slightest attention.

Hua Xiaoqiao walked ahead nervously, she had never been to the backyard of the palace, she led the way carelessly.

Anyway, the layout of the house at this time is like this, if you walk a little ahead, you may arrive at the courtyard where Qin Mu lives.

She looked at the rockery and some trees in the garden, and suddenly had an idea, as long as she could find a way to hide in, she would be fine.

It's just that there are people on the front, back, left, and right, so how should she walk?

Feeling extremely nervous, the leading man became even more nervous, staring at Hua Xiaoqiao without blinking.

"Wait." The leading man stopped Hua Xiaoqiao.

Hua Xiaoqiao paused, she just wanted to go to the garden below when she was stopped, which meant that the wishful thinking in her heart had come to nothing.

She had a cloth stuffed in her mouth, so she couldn't speak naturally, she could only look back at the man in charge in puzzlement. People who are covered with a black cloth and know that the other party has planned for a long time, such people are often the most terrifying.

The leading man rudely pulled the cloth from Hua Xiaoqiao's mouth before coming, looked at Hua Xiaoqiao with cold eyes and said: "You are playing tricks."

Hearing this, Hua Xiaoqiao was startled, and immediately shook her head: "No, I didn't play tricks."

She naturally refused to admit it, if she did, she would not be far from death.

The leading man snorted coldly: "Then why don't you go through the corridor and choose the garden instead? I don't believe the garden can be any closer."

He has always been wary of Hua Xiaoqiao, just now he clearly saw Hua Xiaoqiao pause in the choice of the corridor and the garden, and he began to doubt in his heart.

Hua Xiaoqiao shook her head again and again: "I dare not lie to you, even if you give me the courage. There are many guards in this palace, if you go through the corridor, can you guarantee to hide them immediately? If you go through the garden, it will be fine. Similarly, there are many trees and rockeries here, and you can hide easily, I just don't want you to be caught, you are thinking too much."

She looked at the leading man calmly and said something, she didn't care whether the leading man believed it or not.

The leading man waved his hand at the man who was walking in front, and when the man walking in front came back, the leading man lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the garden and try to find a place where we can hide."

A group of guards patrolling in front came over. Hua Xiaoqiao was nervous and wanted to rush out, but the man in the lead grabbed her shoulders tightly and pressed down hard.

She knows that if she dies now and is left here, the reality is often crueler than the fantasy. She knows that if she is not obedient, she will die soon. The man grabs her like this, even if she wants to enter the space. It is impossible to dodge.

She was very worried, she could feel the danger approaching step by step, and she could also feel the fear in her heart.

The real thing is often more frightening than what she imagined. She thought she could escape, but only when she encountered it did she realize that the danger was closer than she imagined.

She hid in the bushes and didn't dare to move, even her breathing was low, very light.

After the guards passed by, the leading man whispered in her ear: "Better be honest with me, maybe I will let you go, if you dare to play tricks, I will definitely not let you go."

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded in fear, her shoulders hurt as if they were about to shatter, she herself had been enduring it just now, and now she didn't dare to play any tricks.

With a cloth in his mouth, he couldn't speak, so he could only nod.

The leading man sneered and his hands still did not leave her shoulders.

Now is a special time, he can't be careless, if he is careless, maybe several of them will confess here, let alone kill Qin Mu.

Hua Xiaoqiao was walking worriedly, when a man stepped forward and said: "We have found the place where the prince lives, and this girl is in the front yard without taking the wrong path."

As soon as these words came out, Hua Xiaoqiao's heart "thumped", she thought to herself, is it over for her?Because I found Qin Mu, so she doesn't have much use now?She was afraid of all kinds of anxiety in her heart. If these people really wanted to do something to her, she would have no chance to fight back, let alone save Qin Mu, even she could hardly protect herself.

The leading man glanced mockingly at Hua Xiaoqiao and raised his hand to attack Hua Xiaoqiao.

Hua Xiaoqiao was terrified and spat out what was stuffed in her mouth. Seeing that the man's hand was about to be chopped off, she repeatedly begged for mercy: "Brother, please spare me, I'm still useful."

She said something, and the man put down his hand and said coldly: "Tell me, what's the use of you?"

Hua Xiaoqiao swallowed her saliva, looked at the man seriously and said: "Of course I am useful. You still need me to take you to see the prince. You have found the courtyard where the prince lives, but you think the palace is what you want. If you break in, you can break in, if you want to see the prince, you can see the prince?"

What she meant was that someone had to find the prince. The courtyard of the prince's mansion was so big, and it was night, these men could not know where Qin Mu lived in the first place.

This made a lot of sense. The leading man savored it carefully, and they also felt that the palace's heavily guarded palace could not be so simple.

Seeing the murderous intent in the man's eyes gradually disappearing, Hua Xiaoqiao took a deep breath, she was afraid, she was afraid that if the man struck down with his palm, her life would end here.

"What can you do?"

The leading man asked nervously, Hua Xiaoqiao said bluntly: "Of course there is a way, as long as you believe me, the last time I came to see the prince happened to be resting, so I know where the prince sleeps, Don't be in a hurry to kill me, the matter between us can be discussed, it's useless if you kill me, if you can save my life, maybe I can help you."

When she was doing this, her eyes were always looking at the man. She didn't know if the man would listen to her, but now she couldn't care less, she needed to save herself.
