Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 21 The Assassin Is Here
Chapter 21 The Assassin Is Here
There used to be a small mountain village at Liangjian Mountain Pass, but with the migration of people from Guanzhong, this place was gradually abandoned.

The arrival of Zhao Gang and his party revived this small village that was already a "dead village".

Among the dilapidated houses, Wang Li led his soldiers to hold the wood, and specifically searched for those ruined places to attack.After the complete crash, the people behind followed immediately, and under the guidance of the masons, they separated the well-preserved bricks and stones from the broken bricks and tiles. Stacked at the mouth, ready to be used as a material for paving gravel roads later.

At this moment, Wang Li also completely lost the demeanor of a "Confucian general". He was shirtless, and he personally carried the wood while bumping into it, muttering: "I didn't expect hitting these walls to be so enjoyable. You all rest later, let me bump into it all at once." It's fun."

Everyone was also fascinated by him.

Who would have thought that this well-mannered guy would have such a strong desire to destroy in his bones.

Looking at the busy construction site in front of him, Zhao Gang suddenly thought of something.

"Old Chen, tell Zhao Yi that he will add some salt to the drinking water."

Old Chen was taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "Master, salt is not cheap."

Zhao Gang said with a smile, "I can still afford this bit of salt."

Old Chen was also quite moved when he heard this.

He is very clear about the role of summer salt, but in this era when human lives are as cheap as dogs, nobles would rather die a few more people than sacrifice their own interests.

Being able to follow a master like Zhao Gang gives me hope in life.

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, a team of carriages appeared in Zhao Gang's sight. The team was extremely fast and arrived at the outskirts of the construction site in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the car stopped, Ying Manyin jumped out of the car and stretched.

"It's still comfortable outside the palace. I really want to stay here for the rest of my life."

"Princess, what's good outside the palace? It's a mess here. What are we doing here?" The maid pointed to the smoke-covered construction site in the distance, her face full of grievances.

Wouldn't it be nice to stay in the palace on a hot day?
Do you have to sweat outside the palace to be happy?
Ying Manyin was about to speak when Zhao Gang came up close.

Looking at Ying Manyin who was so close at hand, Zhao Gang was extremely surprised.

Different from the costumes in the palace, today she is wearing a Hu suit, which is capable and playful at the same time.

Ying Manyin noticed Zhao Gang's strangeness, and asked with a smile: "Why, is there anything wrong with me?"

Zhao Gang came back to his senses and looked at Ying Manyin: "No, I just think you look good today."

Ying Manyin laughed and said, "You really can talk. By the way, where shall we go to play today?"

"Play?"

Zhao Gang was in a daze.

Rolling his eyes, he said awkwardly, "Princess, you have also seen what's going on here, so I'm afraid you won't be able to get away."

The smile on Ying Manyin's face disappeared immediately.

Although she was a golden girl, she was not unruly and willful. He knew that Zhao Gang was in trouble, but the loss in his heart made it difficult for her to cover up.

"In this case……"

"Brother, why don't you take this beautiful sister for a walk in East Lake?"

Behind Zhao Gang, a beautiful little girl came up to him with a kettle and asked strangely.

Ying Manyin was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that Zhao Gang actually had children here.

And she's still a little girl.

"East Lake?"

"There is a lake in the valley, and the surrounding scenery is extremely beautiful. Since my sister wants to go for a walk, why doesn't my brother take her there?"

Ying Manyin's gaze fell on Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang hesitated.

At this moment, Wang Li walked over with long strides.

"Just go ahead, I'll keep an eye on you, don't worry!"

Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhao Gang had no choice but to walk towards the valley with Ying Manyin.

The two have only met twice, and they don't know each other deeply. In addition, there are guards behind them to protect them, so they have some concerns about communicating with each other, and it is not easy to talk too much.

Near the lake, Ying Manyin turned around to let the guards stop, and the two of them continued to move forward.

The guards were ordered not to leave even an inch, but seeing the wide field of vision in front of them, they could take precautions in advance if there was any danger.

In addition, Zhao Gang is Ying Zheng's savior, so he can't possibly pose any threat to Ying Manyin, so he relaxes his vigilance and stays on guard from a distance.

Although the lake between the mountain streams is not big, it is crystal clear and surrounded by trees, which has a unique charm.

Zhao Gang, who has seen more beautiful scenery, is still emotional, not to mention Ying Manyin, who rarely travels.

At this moment, she was running around the lake like a deer, picking up stones and splashing water, even though her shoes and socks were wet, she didn't even notice it.

The combination of the water and the sky and the beauty of the country and the fragrance of the sky can be called the ultimate in the world.

Looking at the happy woman in front of him, Zhao Gang showed a calm smile.

Just when Zhao Gang was obsessed with it, several muffled groans came from behind him.

Looking back, I saw a strange man in green clothes walking towards this side, and the guards had disappeared.

Danger!

An idea popped up in Zhao Gang's mind.

Instinctively, he moved closer to Ying Manyin and asked in a low voice, "Can you swim?"

"Ah?" Ying Manyin froze for a moment and shook her head.

Got it!
Zhao Gang is gone.

If Ying Manyin could swim, she could jump into the water to avoid the opponent's pursuit.

Although I know how to do it, I feel powerless to take her with me.

Abandon him and run alone?
Zhao Gang asked himself if he couldn't do it.

"It's all because of me, what should I do?"

Zhao Gang pushed Ying Manyin from behind.

"You go first, I will cover you."

Ying Man looked at Zhao Gang secretly: "Then what do you do? That man has a sword."

Only then did Zhao Gang discover that the other party actually had a guy.

I feel like crying.

But he couldn't give in, and he couldn't let a woman support him.

"It's okay, his target is definitely not me, you go first, I will cover you."

Ying Manyin was still hesitating, but Zhao Gang became impatient and pushed her a few times before Ying Manyin slowly backed away.

The man in Tsing Yi watched the actions of the two of them without making a sound, nor did he chase Ying Manyin. Instead, he walked towards Zhao Gang.

Seeing this situation, a thought flashed through Zhao Gang's mind.

not good!

This guy’s target is not the princess at all, but me!
How to do?
"Your Excellency is Zhao Gang?"
