Rebirth of marriage

Cao Chengwang had spent a lot of money. In addition to sending out his dead soldiers, he also spent money to hire many killers, just in case Gu Xiao would leave someone to protect Xie Jiu.

He also thought that Gu Xiao might accompany them all the way to Beijing. In that case, his assassination plan would have to be implemented after Xie Jiu returned to the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

But after all, they were at the feet of the emperor in the capital, and the Yongning Marquis Mansion had just been pardoned, and a large number of assassins had entered the mansion. It was inevitable that it would attract too much attention and the court's investigation.

It would be best if Gu Xiao could return to Beijing early. Once Gu Xiao is separated from them, he can immediately kill Xie Jiu.

The assassins followed his orders, but none of them expected that King Xiao would lead his men and return.

The inn soon became a river of blood, and the assassin's corpse fell to the ground. Only a few of the survivors had their jaws removed and their hands and feet tied.

Everyone was in panic for the rest of their lives. Some women were so frightened that they sobbed, some men were trembling, and some people were hugging each other, and no one spoke.

Suddenly, a cry of pain sounded, coming from Boss Yang.

He was punched in the face. The man's attack was too sudden. Boss Yang staggered and fell onto an assassin. The assassin's deadpan face was magnified in front of his eyes.

He was so frightened that he almost fainted.

But the anger of being beaten for no reason made him push himself up from the body and yell at the man, "Dong Deming, you are sick, why did you beat me?"

Dong Deming, the eldest son of another pardoned family, is about the same age as Mr. Yang.

The two grew up together in the capital. Although they were not particularly close at first, they often ate, drank and had fun together. A few years ago, the Dong family was convicted, and the relationship between the two became estranged.

To be precise, Boss Yang unilaterally alienated Dong Deming. Dong Deming had some grudges about this. After the Yang family was exiled, he no longer had contact with Boss Yang.

This time they were both pardoned and returned to Beijing together. It was inevitable that they would cross paths on the road. Thinking of the fact that the Dong family had been away from Beijing for many years and still didn’t know what the situation would be like when they returned. Based on the principle of one more friend and one more road, Dong Deming had no intention of becoming enemies with any family.

Therefore, when there was a conflict between the Yang family and the Ning family, the Dong family always stayed far away so that no one could be offended.

But at this time, Dong Deming's eyes were red, like an angry lion. He pointed at Boss Yang's nose, "You still have the nerve to ask me, why did you push you? When the assassin stabbed you with a sword, you actually pushed my father away. go out.

Yang, are you still a human being?You used to call my father uncle. How could you have the nerve to ask an old man to block your sword in times of crisis? "

My father's health had been damaged by hard labor over the years. If the guards left behind by King Xiao hadn't taken action in time, even if the sword hadn't hit the vital point, my father probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Boss Yang.

Boss Yang's head buzzed, and then his face became hot. He seemed to remember that such a thing did happen. At that time, assassins came in large numbers and everyone ran away. He didn't see who it was, but instinctively moved the people forward. A pull.

Who would have thought it was the old man of the Dong family.

But there was no way he would admit it, "Don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't."

"Don't make excuses. I can see clearly that it's you." Cao Deming didn't expect that he wouldn't admit it, and he became even more angry.

"My son did not accuse you wrongly. It was indeed you who dragged me to the assassin's sword." Mr. Dong also spoke up. He originally wanted to settle the matter, but he didn't expect his eldest son to be so angry that he said it in public, nor did he expect that Boss Yang didn't have a trace of regret. .

The second eldest son of the Ning family spat and said, "You Yang family are not good at all. During the day, your son almost killed two of my nephews."

Boss Yang's thoughts gradually became clearer. Ning Laoer's words reminded him that he was pushed in front of the assassin, and when he couldn't avoid it, he pulled someone to block the sword.

He suddenly looked in the direction where the Ning family was standing, pointed at Mr. Ning and said, "It was him, he pushed me."

At that time, the first guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion beside him were Lord Ning and the Cao family's father and son. It must be Lord Ning.

Master Ning was feeling sorry for Mrs. Ning, who sprained her foot while avoiding an assassin. He didn't expect that the matter would involve him. He was already very angry about Mrs. Ning being beaten with a stick by Yang Fan, and Boss Yang framed him.

He was so angry that he yelled, "What the hell, I've never pushed you. You've done dirty things yourself. If you want your reputation, you have to rely on others."

Boss Yang was also anxious, "It wasn't you, maybe it was the guards from Prince Xiao's Mansion. Someone was clearly the one who pushed me."

He looked at Cao Deming, "Since you said you saw me pulling your father, you must also have seen me being pushed forward, right?"

Cao Deming didn't see who pushed Boss Yang, but he did see Boss Yang rushing forward suddenly, as if he was pushed forward unprepared.

At that time, the four of them were protected by the guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion. He and his father didn't push it, so it should be Master Ning. In addition, the two families have been having a lot of trouble these days.

But, "I have never seen that, whether someone pushed you or not, it is two different things from you trying to harm my father."

But in his heart, he also blamed Lord Ning. If Boss Yang had harmed his father just now, Lord Ning who pushed him would also be an accomplice.

At that time, everyone was just running for their lives, and there was chaos. Except for the Cao family and his son, no one saw Yang Lao pulling Cao Cao. Lao Yang naturally did not want to admit it, so he pointed the finger at the Ning family.

The three families were in a quarrel, and no one doubted the guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion who were protecting them.

In the distance, on the attic, a man in white asked Gu Xiao beside him, "Did you arrange this?"

He could clearly see that the guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion had brought those people together intentionally or unintentionally. The one who pushed the person was clearly the guard of Prince Xiao's Mansion, but the man who was pushed was really not a good person, and he actually blocked an old man. forward.

The man in white is none other than the seventh son of the Liaodong Palace, Wen Qi.

Gu Xiao glanced at him sideways, "You're not in Liaodong, what are you doing here?"

Although there were disputes between the Ning family and the Yang family along the way, when they arrived in the capital, their future and family interests were at stake. If Cao Shoufu's mediation was added, they would probably turn their feud into friendship.

Only by deepening their conflicts can they no longer have the possibility of reconciliation. This is Jiu'er's arrangement. I don't know whether to praise her for her precise planning or to say that she is too familiar with the viciousness of the Yang family.

Every move of Boss Yang was within her expectations, but she was not cruel enough. Her original order was to make Cao Deming the person who was almost blocked by Boss Yang.

He was the one who asked the guards to change. Cao Deming was the most filial person. Putting his father in danger would make him more angry and resentful than putting himself in danger. There was no need for him to tell Wen Qi about these things.

Wen Qi rolled her eyes at him, "Didn't you give my Sixth Uncle a letter to ask him to buy those noodles? The military camp is not a trivial matter. Couldn't Sixth Uncle send me to take a look?"

"The noodles are at Yuyouguan." Gu Xiao looked at him quietly.

Wen Qi smiled and said, "I have seen that noodle cake and it is indeed a good thing. I have already sent some back to Uncle Six to decide.

You and I haven't seen each other for many years. I heard that you were going back to the capital, so I came after you. Hehe, it's a rare business trip, so I couldn't go out and have fun.

Unexpectedly, I encountered you being assassinated again. Why haven't those people given up? They tried to kill you before but failed. Isn't it even more difficult now? You even come to die. It's really a comfortable life in the capital. Your brain is getting stupider. . "

He pointed at a group of people who were having a quarrel, "Who are they? Why do you want to provoke conflicts among them?"

Gu Xiao felt that the nightmare from many years ago had come back. The seventh son of the Wen family was famous for his talkativeness. They joined the army at the same time in the same camp, and his ears were poisoned by him in those years.

He replied calmly, "The newly pardoned prisoner."

"Prisoner? Why were you exiled, and why were you pardoned?" Wen Qi was curious. There were quite a few people here, and there were at least three camps arguing.

There were also people holding swords watching the fun, and two women surrounded by guards.

One of the women seemed to notice his gaze and turned to look at him.

Under the illumination of the torch, the woman's small face looked like a shining pearl, dazzling and eye-catching, like a fairy in a painting.

Wen Qi's pupils shrank, and he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and asked, "Who is that woman?"
