Cao Shulan didn't know how things suddenly turned out like this. A few days ago, she was still thinking about marrying Qin Jian as her stepmother, but now she has to worry about whether her family will be caught, and the whole family will be imprisoned.

"I'm going to send someone outside to check who is playing tricks behind my back!"

She turned around to leave, but was held back by Ma.

"Stop messing around. This matter is very complicated. Don't cause trouble for your father. All you can do now is stay in your own yard and don't cause trouble for me and your father. That's enough."

She knew her daughter well, and Ma knew that she had always been unreliable, and he didn't dare to let her do anything at this time.

Cao Shulan was a little unconvinced, but seeing her mother's serious look, she nodded obediently.

Jiang Jiuniang got up early in the morning to burn incense. Today was the day for the child student examination, and she had to pray for Leizi and the others.

At noon, I planned to go to the temple to pay my respects, hoping that they would have a smooth exam and nothing would happen during the exam.

As an aunt, she can only do so much when she is not in the capital.

Peng Yuan knew that she was going to the temple to worship Buddha and wanted to go with her. She said that Qin Jian would accompany her, so Jiang Jiuniang did not refuse and simply asked Lu Baichuan to go with her.

When the news reached Cao Zheng, it was already noon. Cao Zheng was very sensitive and always felt that this matter had nothing to do with the people in the other courtyard. He had sent people to keep an eye on it during this period.

However, they always kept a low profile. Except for Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan who were going to the workshop, Qin Jian and Peng Yuan stayed in the house all day, seemingly not caring about things outside.

Until today, they didn't see any problem, but now, they actually want to go out to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. If something happened suddenly, there must be something wrong.

During this period of time, he was frightened and couldn't eat or sleep well. He was afraid that those people would come in front of them and talk nonsense, which would ruin his life.

"Do you know why they suddenly want to burn incense and worship Buddha?"

Cao Zheng always felt that things were not simple.

"Little I don't know."

The servant answered truthfully, and Cao Zheng's eyes darkened. In this case, he would just do it without stopping. Don't blame him for being cruel!

The Cao family has been able to develop to this day, and naturally they have certain abilities. Anyway, there are only four of them going to the temple, and there is also a pregnant woman, so it is not difficult to solve it.

Since he was worried that someone would report them in front of them, he would catch them all in advance. They were going out on their own anyway, and it was common for them to encounter Dongting assassins on the road.

After making this plan, Cao Zheng directly arranged for people to do it and ordered: "Just ambush them on the way down the mountain. No one can be left alive!"

Although I know that my daughter likes Qin Jian, at this moment of life and death, the relationship between a man and a woman is a trivial matter. If my daughter likes Qin Jian, she will just find someone like Qin Jian in the future. There is no need to be kind to a woman at this time.

"Yes!"

The killers responded and went ahead to ambush them on their way down the mountain.

But even so, Cao Zheng was still very uneasy and always felt that a storm was coming.

This seems to be Jiang Jiuniang's first time to come to the temple to offer incense. Temples in this era were not as secular as later generations, so she spent the whole day thinking about how to collect money for sesame oil.

There are also pilgrims who come to offer incense in the temple, but not many. The sound of bells, wooden fish, and the masters chanting sutras can calm people down.

The weather was still a bit cold at the moment. Jiang Jiuniang and Peng Yuan were both wearing thick clothes, but Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian were wearing relatively little.

Peng Yuan felt sorry for her man and wanted to give him her hand stove.

Qin Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After repeatedly ensuring that he was really not cold, Peng Yuan took the stove back again.

Many times, Jiang Jiuniang doesn't actually believe in these things, but she has come to this world, and she has to believe in many things even if she doesn't believe in them, so she is very pious when she worships. She doesn't ask for anything else, but she just wants to not get into trouble during the exam and suddenly have diarrhea. Something like that, influence play.

As for the test results, she is not bragging. With the strength of the children at home, it is easy to pass the exam as a boy student. However, the future talents or candidates will depend on their own abilities.

"Sister Jiu, I always thought you didn't believe this."

Peng Yuan knelt beside her, begging Qin Jian for safety when he went on a mission, and for the safety of the child in her belly. After praying, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Jiuniang playfully as she spoke.

"I'd rather believe it or not! Anyway, I think everyone will believe it. If you don't believe it, then you must be young."

There is a hot word in later generations called bloodline awakening, right?That’s what it means!

Peng Yuan thought what she said made sense, so she nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I didn't believe it before, but I believe it now!"

In the past, I meant that before she met Qin Jian, she really didn't care about these things. But after meeting Qin Jian and in those years when she couldn't contact him, she often went to the temple to pray, hoping that the gods and Buddhas in the sky could protect Qin Jian more. At least let him come back alive.

In those years, she often went to temples outside the capital city to donate incense and money, and she gradually developed a habit. However, when she came to the border, the conditions were not permitting, so she did not enter a temple for a long time.

Two men who had killed countless people on the battlefield were also kneeling with their wives. It was rare that they had time to go out and walk with them. Not only did they not find it troublesome, but they also found it very interesting.

The killings on their bodies are too heavy, and coming to such a Buddhist place seems to wash away the filth on their bodies.

The four of them had a vegetarian meal in the temple before slowly going down the mountain. The two men were driving outside, while Jiang Jiuniang and Peng Yuan were sitting in the carriage warming themselves on the small stove. Not to mention how comfortable they were.

"There is an ambush."

Lu Baichuan suddenly spoke, and Jiang Jiuniang thought of something instantly. She opened the car curtain and saw that there were indeed people in the surrounding woods.

"You hide and don't come out..."

Before Qin Jian could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Jiuniang. She said: "Brother Qin, come in and protect Yuanyuan. She is a pregnant woman and cannot be frightened. Just leave those outside to me and Bai Chuan."

If she hadn't considered that Peng Yuan was pregnant and it was best not to take too many medicines, she would have just taken out a small powder and easily solved it.

However, it seems that she hasn't moved her muscles and bones for a long time, and hitting people is not bad.

Lu Baichuan patted Qin Jian on the shoulder and asked him to listen to his wife's words.

Qin Jian also knew that now was not the time to argue about that. It wasn't until Jiang Jiuniang's ability was revealed that she got into the carriage without hesitation, held Peng Yuan in her arms, and then said: "Please pay attention to your safety."

"Do not worry."

Jiang Jiuniang got out of the carriage, sat down with Lu Baichuan, and then gave him a handful of her upgraded "landing ring" pills.

Those assassins seemed to know that they were highly skilled in martial arts and could not win in close combat, so they planned to attack from a distance and shoot arrows in the woods.

There are hundreds of people ambushed in the woods, and the risk factor of shooting arrows together is still relatively high. If you are not careful, you can be shot into a hedgehog.

Seeing that Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan were not even armed, the assassin became excited and shouted: "Shoot for me!"
