Remarry the Farmer

Chapter 272: Assassinate

As night fell, the drizzle quietly ended at night. The Qingfengin Temple was wrapped in the silent night, and occasionally there was a "tick" sound of rain falling from the tiles. Zhao's mother filled the bathtub with hot water, and the white mist enveloped Wang Xiushu's condensed skin. Mother Zhao put the medicine packet in the bucket, and the fragrance of the medicine spread in the water.

"This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor to keep you away from the cold. You should soak it first," said Mama Zhao, standing up from the tub, patted the corners of her skirt, "The young master is only coming back. I will prepare some heat for him. The porridge is full."

Wang Xiushu nodded, and closed his eyes comfortably: "I've got Lao Zhao's mother."

Mother Zhao bypassed the landscape screen and quietly walked out of the house. Wang Xiushu gently raised her head to breathe. She felt that the nasal cavity became smoother, and the heavy forehead seemed to be relieved. She couldn't help but soften her body, leaning against the tub, resting her head on her arms, enjoying leisurely .

Mother Zhao brought the hot porridge to the front hall. Ruan Tianqi changed his clothes wet by rain at this time. The cyan gown on his body was roasted by charcoal fire, and it was slightly warm. Mother Zhao put the porridge on the table and whispered: "Master, fill your stomach with some porridge."

Ruan Tianqi walked to the table, picked up the porridge bowl, and drank. As if thinking of something, he raised his head and asked: "Mother Zhao, is Xiu Shu's body better?"

"It's better, although there is still a cough, but the heat has faded." Mother Zhao replied with a laugh.

Ruan Tianqi was relieved. The spoon in his hand was about to be put down, but he heard a panic call from a distance: "Come on!" Then there was the sound of water, which alarmed Ruan Tianqi and Zhao who were in the front hall. Two mothers. The direction of the voice came from Wang Xiushu's room, and Ruan Tianqi hurried over.

A figure jumped onto the room, and when Ruan Tianqi hurried away, Quesheng had already followed the figure. Ruan Tianqi glanced, did not follow, but opened the door and walked behind the screen. At this time, Wang Xiushu was standing on top of a water stain, and was covered with a thin layer of white gauze. The water droplets on the hair dyed the gauze away, revealing the color of the skin.

"Shu'er, what's going on?" Ruan Tianqi quickly took off his coat and put it on Wang Xiushu's body. There was a mess in the room, and the tub was neatly cut into two and fell aside. The mountain and water screens are dilapidated, leaving traces of being scratched by sharp blades everywhere. Wang Xiushu's heart hasn't calmed down yet, she tightly grasped the thin white gauze, but her face was as pale as white paper.

"There is an assassin." Wang Xiushu's teeth trembled a little. She covered her mouth and coughed twice. The cold wind slipped into the room along the door and gently blew past her ears. The water stains on her body were already cold and infiltrated. She couldn't help shaking her skin.

"Taisheng has been chased, can you see the face of the person clearly?" Ruan Tianqi asked. Mother Zhao took the clothes and put on Wang Xiushu, and put on her autumn mink skin, so that Wang Xiushu's body warmed up. .

Wang Xiushu shook her head: "There is a veil on her face, so she can't see clearly." She felt a little frightened in retrospect. If she hadn't dodged in time, the assassin's sword would pierce her chest with a cold blade.

At this time, Quesheng had already caught up with the assassin in black. Seeing that he could not escape, the assassin retreated to advance and cut off the long sword in his hand. Quesheng dodges the long sword, took out the saber from his waist with a "swipe" and swung it towards the assassin. On the roof of the house beam, the two of them fought hard, and the assassin slowly changed from offensive to defensive, and was forced to take one sword after another from the bird.

Quesheng saw the timing, and the sword was picked up, and the assassin's wrist was suddenly marked with a long mark. With a scream, the long sword in the assassin's hand fell to the ground.

"Who are you?" Quesheng asked, "Who sent you here?"

The man held his wrist with an expression of pain. Quesheng lifted his veil with the sword end and dragged it off the beam of the room. The assassin looked ugly, with a red birthmark on his face, which was striking. The assassin snorted coldly: "If you want to kill or slash whoever you want, it's unlucky for you to fall into your hands today."

Ruan Tianqi put Wang Xiushu in his arms. He walked out of the house, and Quesheng dragged the assassin's collar and threw him in front of Ruan Tianqi and Wang Xiushu. When Wang Xiushu saw this person's face terrifying, he was also shocked: "What is my connection with you, why do you want to assassinate me?"

"My little master, I'm just doing things with money," the assassin sneered, his eyes swept over Wang Xiushu's body, he bit hard, and blood poured out of his mouth, he smiled at Wang Xiushu lewdly, "You little girl is in good shape, but I am I sent someone to assassinate you, otherwise..." The assassin coughed twice, and Ruan Tianqi immediately stepped forward when he heard what he said, and drew out Quesheng's sword to pierce this person's heart fiercely.

The assassin's face twisted in pain, and he struggled twice and fell heavily behind him. Ruan Tianqi drew his sword and said to Que Sheng, "Take him away, don't let others see it."

"Yes." Quesheng picked up the assassin's corpse and walked down.

If this were not the Pingnan Hou Mansion, he would definitely not take advantage of this assassin, he would definitely have to dig out his eyeballs. "This person can go in and out of Pingnan Hou Mansion freely. It must be sent by someone from Pingnan Hou Mansion." Wang Xiushu said. Pingnan Hou Mansion is also a big family, and the courtyard is complicated. This assassin obviously came for him, and he must be familiar with Pingnan Hou Mansion.

"I'm afraid the old lady will start it." Ruan Tianqi said. Although Ruan Ju’an’s wife is a big family, there are people with high martial arts under his hand. The soldiers led by Ruan Ju’an are staffed by the imperial court, and naturally they will not act for him privately. Thinking about it this way, only the old lady and the old man can have this ability.

Wang Xiushu agrees with Ruan Tianqi's opinion, and the old lady is now taking strict precautions against her. The old lady about Ruan Tianming had already suspected her. She was not a person who gave up easily. The disobedience of Ruan Tianqi and Wang Xiushu made her annoyed, and the old lady has not given up on the Princess Qianyue.

The old lady has regarded Wang Xiushu as a thorn in her eyes. "It seems that I'm going to pretend to be ill these days. The old lady sent someone to assassinate me. Naturally, the old lady liked this person's ability. If she knew that this person didn't hurt me half a point, she would definitely suspect that there was someone around her. Protected by the forces," Wang Xiushu sighed, "I will publicize in the past few days that I was stabbed and I need to rest."

"I will let Quesheng send a few more people to strengthen the guard of Qingfengyuan." Ruan Tianqi felt frightened when he thought of it. The old lady was unpredictable, and now his life in Pingnan Houfu is even more difficult. This makes him feel at ease to make Wang Xiushu.

Ruan Tianqi helped Wang Xiushu back into the room. Wang Xiushu was lying on the couch. She was frightened and coughed, and her charming cheeks were stained with red. "Tian Qi, there is one thing I want to tell you," Wang Xiushu held Ruan Tianqi's hand, her eyes wrinkled slightly and opened her mouth. "The fifth lady told me that you must not go to the Jinwei Kingdom."

"How did she know that I was going to the Jinwei Kingdom?" Ruan Tianqi was a little surprised, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
