Early the next morning, the team returning to Beijing lined up neatly outside Zeng's house.

Mrs. Zeng brought a pair of children, and she had already reached the end of the line. Gu Ning walked out of Zeng's house wearing a veiled hat. Several servants immediately greeted her and helped her into the carriage. Even Chunyu was being helped. of people.

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Ning frowned, squeezed the softness on the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Why do I feel that there is something wrong with this carriage?"

Hearing this, Chunyu hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, this is specially arranged for you by the general. It is made of high-quality fabrics, which are extremely elastic, and hundreds of embroiderers sewed it on." One piece, even a rain of arrows can't pass through the carriage and hurt you in the slightest."

After hearing this, Gu Ning not only didn't feel at ease, but his beautiful eyebrows frowned even tighter: "It's fine, how could you use such strict protection? Did something happen?"

"Your servant doesn't know either." Ban Xia shook his head, "My servant just listens to the general's instructions, and doesn't know anything about other things."

"You really don't know?" Gu Ning glanced at Ban Xia suspiciously.

Ban Xia didn't show guilt on her face, and said solemnly: "When did this servant lie to you?"

"You lie to me too often." Gu Ning snorted angrily, "In my opinion, you and uncle must have heard some news, but you just refused to tell me."

Speaking of this, Gu Ning made a gesture to get out of the carriage: "You don't need to tell me, I will ask uncle myself!"

Ban Xia hurriedly stopped Gu Ning: "Good county master! Don't ask me any more! This is all for your own good!"

"Keep me in the dark or is it for my own good? I'm not a three-year-old anymore!" Gu Ning rolled his eyes angrily, wrapped his hands around his chest, and said displeasedly, "Will you say it? If you don't say it I'll just go down..."

"Yes!" Chunyu was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, but staring at Gu Ning's cold gaze, she still said a word slowly, "It's about the rebels in Shu."

When Gu Ning heard this, he was even more puzzled: "Shu rebels? When did my reputation reach the ears of Shu rebels? They actually want to kill me?"

"Leave uncle alone, and they come to kill me?"

Gu Ning's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

However, Chunyu nodded at this moment, although her face was ugly, she was obviously not lying.

Gu Ning touched the roots of his teeth, gritted his teeth and said, "Is there something wrong with Xie Yan?"

The rebels in Shu are all Xie Yan's people, and his subordinates actually want to kill him?Because of what?Is it because...

"Could it be because I think I'm too beautiful, with a coquettish face?" Gu Ning touched his face and asked in doubt.

The corner of Chunyu's mouth twitched, and she nodded without saying a word: "Maybe... maybe there is a reason for this."

Hearing this, Gu Ning put his hands behind his back very boldly, and said lazily: "What about other reasons? It's because I came from Pei's family, and they are worried that after Xie Yan's uprising is successful, there will be foreign relatives' dictatorship?"

Every time Gu Ning said a word, Chunyu nodded her head, her face was very exciting: "Master, since you know everything... then what do you want to do?"

"How to do it?" Gu Ning sneered, "What else can I do? Naturally, I'm here waiting for the assassin they send! I want to see, where do they have the confidence to despise me!"

"I haven't despised Xie Yan yet!" Gu Ning muttered something in a low voice, and Yue Rong, who was following the carriage, stumbled and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Beside him, several other people had the same expressions.

They looked at each other in blank dismay, they all saw doubts in each other's eyes - can't my lord?Which aspect is not working?Could it be that?

In the carriage, Chunyu's face was flushed, and she waved at Gu Ning: "Master, there are still many people outside that Mr. Xie sent to protect you!"

Gu Ning waved his hand angrily: "I heard it, I heard it, they heard it just right, let them go back and tell the man in Shu, but it's not his turn to despise me! I don't despise Xie Yan, it seems that I have deep affection for him The sea!"

Chunyu heard Gu Ning's words, her face swelled as if she had knocked over her palette, it turned red, blue, and purple, and finally she choked out a sentence: "County Lord, thank you sir, he really...really Can't you? If so, do you think you want to change your fiancé?"

Hearing this, Gu Ning shook his head: "Forget it, just use it."

She likes to thank the banquet, but she doesn't have to... cough cough!As long as Xie Yan's luck value is still there, she can continue to play. When she reaches a certain level, even if Xie Yan loses so much luck, she is still willing to stay by Xie Yan's side.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning sighed quietly at Chunyu: "Look, I really have a deep love for him."

The corner of Chunyu's mouth twitched, she couldn't believe what Gu Ning said.

She had heard those heart-pounding voices outside the door more than once before, how long has it been going on?

It's just that Gu Ning's delicate face has a serious expression, she can't even ask what she doubts, she can only stammerly respond: "County Master... County Master, you really have a deep love for Mr. Xie .”

After she finished speaking, she closed her mouth like a mussel, no matter how much Gu Ning asked, she refused to answer.

Gu Ning propped his chin, and said quietly: "There is also General Lu, so he really doesn't like me, I must talk to Uncle Lu after I go back!"

When Ban Xia heard this, she was also very angry, but she just nodded vigorously to express her anger at the moment, no matter how Gu Ning asked, she refused to speak.

When Gu Ning saw this, he simply didn't ask any more questions. He just speculated in his heart that the rebels in Shu had murderous intentions towards him, and it could only be because of this reason.

It's just that she was thinking, what should she do to resolve their killing intent?

It was at this time that the accident happened suddenly.

From the bamboo forests on both sides, countless sharp arrows were shot, and the targets without exception were all aimed at the carriage in the front.

Gu Ning was in the latter carriage. She watched the carriage being shot into a sieve, and the knuckles of the fingers pinching the armrest turned white due to the force.

Chunyu's expression was unprecedentedly condensed: "They really did it! They didn't even care about the Pei family's kindness to Mr. Xie!"

She was picked up by the Pei family from a mass grave. She has been loyal to the Pei family and Gu Ning all her life. As long as she thinks of someone secretly murdering Gu Ning, the anger in her heart cannot be stopped.

Gu Ning's eyes were slightly cold, and seeing Chunyu's face pale with anger, she stretched out her hand and patted Chunyu's trembling shoulder lightly: "The soldiers came to cover the water and soil, besides, they want to get rid of me , but not necessarily for the sake of thanking the banquet.”

"Maybe..." Gu Ning sneered, "Do they also want to be that powerful foreign relative?"

And the assassins in the bamboo forest also quickly realized that something was wrong. The carriage was already piled up with sharp arrows and almost fell apart. Even so, no one inside made a sound, and through the gap, they could clearly see the carriage. There was no one there.

"It's been tricked! Withdraw!"

One person shouted sharply, the masked assassins who were holding knives and wanted to rush forward moved very quickly, only a few of them were stopped, and at the moment they were stopped, they immediately crushed their teeth. The poison in the room, committed suicide.

Seeing their well-trained movements, Pei Anlin smiled, and said in a cold voice, "I spared you once, but not only did you not stop, but you actually made things worse! You really treat my Pei family as a bully!"

When he spoke, his cold eyes swept over Yue Rong and the guards around him.

Yue Rong's scalp was numb, and he wished he could rush forward to show his loyalty, his family is very loyal to the county lord!He only brought three people with him when he went to Sichuan, but he left dozens of masters around him to protect the county lord!What is this not sincere?

But these words, Yue Rong only dared to roar in his heart.

He didn't dare to speak in front of so many people, even if there weren't so many people, he didn't dare to face Pei Anlin who was in a rage.

Yue Rong swallowed all the resentment in his heart, looked at the sky above his head with tears in his eyes, when will your lord come back?If he doesn't come back, he won't be able to hold on!

When the army was stationed to rest, a gray carrier pigeon fluttered to the distance, and on the other side, a white carrier pigeon also flew towards the direction of the capital.

Pei Anlin put down the raised bow, and smiled coldly: "It seems that there are many people hidden in our team!"

He meant something, but Gu Ning yawned: "Uncle, did you come to me just to see these pigeons?"

Hearing this, Pei Anlin could no longer pretend to be that yin and yang. He held one of Gu Ning's ears, but he was reluctant to use force, so he could only speak very harshly: "Do you still want to sleep? Is it time to sleep now?" The brat you want to marry, nine out of ten people around him want to kill you! You can still sleep? If I were you, I would have broken up with him long ago! Is there anything in this world better than yourself? Is your life more important?"

Gu Ning blinked: "Uncle, why don't I break off the engagement with Xie Yan when I go back? But the crown prince is eyeing me, once I break off the engagement with Xie Yan, I'm afraid I'll be left..."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Pei Anlin immediately interrupted Gu Ning, "There are so many good men in this world! As long as you are willing, I will introduce all the young and promising people in our army to you!"

Gu Ning was moved by Pei Anlin's chatter, but he pretended to be impatient and rubbed Pei Anlin's beard vigorously.

When Pei Anlin was about to get angry, she pouted her lips and said pitifully, "Uncle, but I still don't want to marry anyone else, I just want to marry Xie Yan, don't worry, I will definitely marry Xie Yan's All troubles are solved."

Hearing this, Pei Anlin was furious: "Is he that nice?"

"Yeah!" Gu Ning nodded vigorously.

Pei Anlin frowned, rubbing the folds between his brows, and wanted to say something, but finally sighed again: "Ning'er! You are just like your mother!"

"My mother's entrustment is not human, but the thank you banquet is different." Gu Ning grabbed Pei Anlin's hand and said coquettishly, "He is also considered to be grown up by you, don't you know his nature?"

Pei Anlin looked at Gu Ning's pretty face, with the corners of his mouth drooping: "He is good and capable, but so what? Don't you know what kind of path he will take in the future? An emperor, Sangong Liu Court is a common thing, you are proud and arrogant, can you compete with so many people? Are you willing to degenerate yourself, to compete with other women for the sake of a man to be jealous?"

"I don't want to." Gu Ning shook his head.

Just when Pei Anlin thought she had changed her mind, she slowly said: "But I still want to trust him once, I believe he can handle these things well."

"He's in Sichuan right now, but he can't even stop the assassins sent to kill you." Pei Anlin sneered, "You still count on him?"

"Uncle! You have to give him a chance." Gu Ning said coquettishly, "Let's make a bet, after this assassination, will anyone come to assassinate me! I bet not!"

"Impossible!" Pei Anlin said firmly, "These people won't give up!"

"Then if I win." Gu Ning rolled her beautiful eyes, "Uncle, you are not allowed to say such despondent words in front of me!"
