The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!
Chapter 61 Attack in the city
In the past few days, due to the floods in Jiangnan, the atmosphere in the court was solemn.
Even people like Xu Chaoqian, who had no chance to attend court meetings and lived a lazy life, also restrained their temper and became much more diligent in going out early and coming back late in the past two days.
There is no other reason. The emperor has smashed several inkstones at the court meetings in the past few days.
Jiangnan Dao's deposed commander Chang Jing has become a target, and the second prince's people have to read several books about him every day.
If the roads to the four states in the south of the Yangtze River had not yet been opened, the emperor would have immediately ordered him to be escorted back to Beijing.
"It's been eight days! I don't know anything about the disaster in Jiangnan. Chang Jing, a loser, has wasted the court's salary!" The emperor cursed angrily.
The prince had already suffered a lot and did not dare to say anything at this time.
The court proceedings were chaotic, and various forces were mediating in secret, temporarily hiding under the water.
At this time, it had nothing to do with the third prince, but after Mu Rong fell ill, the prince had no one to discuss with, so he could only be detained in the East Palace every day. After all, the third prince was smart and uncontested, and everyone knew it.
But in this case, Mu Qianyin would have to stay alone in the empty room.
Bored, she left a message to Xu Rongrong, saying that she got a new clear wine from a private wine shop and invited her to taste it.
Could this private bartender... be the Duan Chuan Dynasty who instigated the third prince to raise an army in his previous life?
With a thought in her mind, Xu Rongrong accepted the post and agreed to attend a banquet tomorrow.
Now that she is the head of the county and is in charge of the Xu family, her freedom of entry and exit is naturally far greater than in the past.
Xu Chaoqian even sent two young men with some skills to serve as her guards, who stayed at the concierge for her daily dispatch.
Early the next morning, Xu Rongrong was ready and set off with Luo Shu.
Because it was perfunctory, Xu Rongrong wore a peach-blossom light pink dress, with two white jade plum blossom hairpins hanging on her head, looking plain and refreshing.
Mu Qianyin only invited her to come. The lunch was served in the garden, with the dancing and flying tidbits, and the two of them felt uncomfortable drinking together.
Xu Rongrong had a good drinking capacity, and Mu Qianyin was even more heroic. In the blink of an eye, he drank two bottles of wine.
Xu Rongrong's cheeks were slightly red and her face was like a peach blossom. She smiled and asked: "Where did Sister Mu get such good wine?"
Mu Qianyin picked up the cup and sniffed lightly, frowning: "In the summer, the fourth prince invited His Highness to go to Fanlou for dinner, and I went with him. In front of the restaurant, I happened to meet a bartender delivering goods. His wine barrel As soon as I opened it... I knew that the craftsmanship was absolutely perfect. But at that time, I was in a hurry to go to the banquet, so I only praised it a few times. However, His Highness remembered it and asked around for the address of the bartender and found him. I ordered this flower brew.”
"Sister Mu and His Highness Third Prince are so affectionate. I'm already full before I eat." Xu Rongrong joked.
Mu Qianyin was a little embarrassed, her face turned red.
Xu Rongrong continued: "But after hearing what my sister said, I am a little curious. My father is a good drinker. Does my sister know the name of the bartender and where he lives?"
Mu Qianyin held her chin and recalled: "He lives in Tongle Lane. As for his name... I vaguely remember that his surname seems to be Duan."
It was indeed Duan Chuanchao!
Xu Rongrong thought to herself: Sister Mu just said that they met Duan Chuanchao by chance because the fourth prince was treating them to a guest.Could it be that... Duan Chuanchao is actually related to the fourth prince?
Thinking of the person who had the last laugh in her previous life, Xu Rongrong inevitably had doubts.
But at the moment, Duan Chuanchao is just a little-known bartender and has not done anything unusual.
If he was exposed at this time, not to mention that Sister Mu didn't believe it, even she herself couldn't explain the reason.
Instead of doing this, it is better to wait and see.
Mu Qianyin was sleepy after drinking, and she had already dozed off after lunch.
Xu Rongrong stopped disturbing him and got on the carriage to go home.
Luo Shu put a soft pillow in the car. Xu Rong felt sleepy and leaned on the soft pillow and fell asleep.
Half asleep and half awake, I only heard the driver's scream.
Then, the carriage shook violently.
Xu Rong and Luo Shu were caught off guard and fell into the carriage.
"Miss..." Luo Shu exclaimed.
Before Xu Rongrong could answer, the horse driving the car began to run wildly, throwing them to the other side of the carriage.
Xu Rongrong managed to grab the wall of the carriage. She stabilized her body and opened the curtain to take a look.
The driver of the car had been thrown to the ground. From a distance, he looked uncertain whether he was alive or dead. The two guards following the car rushed after him.
She calmed down, grabbed Luo Shu's hand, and comforted: "Don't be afraid! We are in the city, the carriage will be stopped soon, just hurry up."
However, the galloping horse seemed to have spirituality, turning around at a fork in the road and heading towards a more remote street.
The carriage is getting faster and faster, but the surrounding area is getting more and more desolate.
Luo Shu's face turned pale: "Miss... what should I do? Do you want to jump out of the car?" "You can't jump!" Xu Rongrong replied.
She vaguely sensed something was wrong. This horse... seemed to be controlled by someone.
After a long time, the frantic horse finally slowed down and stopped in front of a long-abandoned courtyard.
Just as Luo Shu was about to open the car door, Xu Rongrong glanced out the window and held her hand: "Don't move!"
The two guards following the car did not show up, and they must have been abandoned.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
Xu Rongrong held her hand: "Don't panic."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a ferocious laughter coming from outside: "Why don't you little beauty in the car come out? Could it be that you want to invite your brothers to come in and have a seat?"
Xu Rongrong felt a chill in her heart: It seemed that there were more than one or two bad guys outside.
As if to verify her conjecture, another voice came: "I'm afraid the carriage is too small and not big enough for my brothers to sit in. I'm afraid we have to get in one by one."
As quickly as possible, Xu Rongrong pulled out two daggers from the hidden compartment at the bottom of the carriage, handed one to Luo Shu, and hid the other in his sleeve.
This was definitely not an accident, someone was targeting her.
Who is it?Xu Liushi?Lin Jiaoyue?Or...the remnants of the Changxing Hou Mansion?
She straightened up, stood in front of Luo Shu, and shouted:
"I am the lord of Ping'an County whom Your Majesty has personally granted. Who dares to attack me?"
People outside the car whispered:
"Huh? Didn't you say she is just an ordinary woman?"
"No wonder I gave you three times the amount of money. Brother, what should I do?"
"How about we withdraw first? Anyway, they have stopped us as agreed, so we have completed our mission."
Several people wanted to give up, but the man at the head did not move at all.
There was a scar across half of his face, which made him look extremely violent.
He licked his lips: "You guys are cowards! I've done a lot with innocent women, but this is the first time I've encountered such an expensive product. Are you willing to leave?"
One of them whispered: "That person only said to stop her, but didn't say..."
His words were interrupted by Scarface: "A bunch of cowards! If you want to leave, you can leave. I will definitely go there today."
Even people like Xu Chaoqian, who had no chance to attend court meetings and lived a lazy life, also restrained their temper and became much more diligent in going out early and coming back late in the past two days.
