Rebirth as Princess Jin again
Chapter 38 The Assassination of the Lantern Festival
The crowd began to chatter.
"I heard that whoever can capture the rabbit lantern this time will receive a thousand taels of gold."
"Wow, if I win this title, won't I have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life?"
"Yes, but you have to rely on real ability to get it. The bonus is so generous. Who dares to go on stage without a little bit of boxing skills? If you fall down, it won't be worth it and break your hands and feet."
............
Situ Jin saw Su Ying's eyes fixed on the rabbit lantern on the high platform. He approached Su Ying and asked, "A Ying, do you like that lantern? I'll win it for you."
Su Ying took his hand and shook her head: "With such a huge bonus, there must be many people trying to grab it. This platform is so high and it's too dangerous. It's better not to go."
Situ Jin let go of Su Ying's hand and said, "Wait for me."
Situ Jin walked through the crowd and walked towards the stage. There were already many people standing next to the stage. Su Ying hurriedly squeezed to the front and looked at Situ Jin without blinking.
Situ Jin gave her a reassuring smile, and soon the event began. Situ Jin got rid of his opponents and was far ahead, and soon climbed to the middle of the stage.
The people behind him were not to be outdone, and followed closely. As they were about to reach the top, Situ Jin's feet were grabbed by the people below. Situ Jin tightly grabbed the bamboo pole next to him and looked at the people below.
I saw a cold light flash in the man's sleeves, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. Situ Jin raised his foot and kicked, his whole body flew into the air, and a person passed him, and soon he was above him.
The man stopped climbing and stepped hard on Situ Jin's right hand that was holding the bamboo pole. Situ Jin released his right hand and grabbed the man's foot and pulled him down. A dagger appeared in the man's hand and pointed toward him. Situ Jin then stabbed him.
Only then did Situ Jin realize that something was wrong. While avoiding the attack, he looked at Su Ying in the crowd.
He glanced across the crowd and soon saw the beautiful figure in the crowd. Su Ying's eyes were all focused on Situ Jin. She seemed to have noticed something unusual, and there was a bit of anxiety in her eyes.
Because of her concentration, she didn't notice anything strange around her. Little did she know that a dagger hidden in someone's sleeve had sneakily approached her neck.
Situ Jin stood on a high place and had a clear view of the situation below. He kicked the man below him off the high platform with a few moves. He pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it at Su Ying. Su Ying saw his movements. , understood instantly, tilted his head, and the jade pendant hit the wrist of the person behind Su Ying. The wrist of the person suffered pain, and the dagger instantly fell from his hand.
Su Ying turned around, seeing that the man had failed and had already disappeared into the crowd.
Situ Jin dodged the other person's attack, kicked that person in the chest, and kicked the person away.
The rabbit lantern on the high platform had already been snatched by others. Situ Jin flew down and rushed towards Su Ying anxiously.
He took Su Ying's hand and saw that the skin on her neck was intact, and his anxious heart relaxed.
At this moment, the crowd was already excited. The leader took the bonus and looked proud.
Situ Jin took Su Ying's hand, squeezed through the bustling crowd, and walked towards a place with few people.
Situ Jin was filled with fear at this moment, and the hand holding Su Ying was shaking slightly. If it had been a second later, the knife would have cut through Su Ying's neck. He said with some annoyance: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have gone. Grab the lantern, Ah Ying, if something happens to you, I..."
Su Ying gently pressed her finger on his lips, with gentle eyes: "With you here, there will be no such eventuality, I believe in you."
Su Ying's eyes were firm without any hesitation. Situ Jin's inner defenses completely collapsed. If he just liked Su Ying at the beginning, then his words "I believe in you" at this moment would be enough to break down all the defenses in his heart. .
He pulled Su Ying into his arms and held her tightly in his arms.
Su Ying was hugged by him and almost couldn't breathe. She pushed Situ Jin hard: "Ajin, I can't breathe."
Only then did Situ Jin realize how hard he had exerted, and he quickly let go of the man in his arms.
Su Ying finally breathed fresh air, she calmed down her breathing, and then smiled.
Situ Jin once again thought of the scene just now, and said with slightly cold eyes: "Those people just used their killing moves. We were wearing masks. Who wanted to kill us?"
Su Ying thought for a while and said, "Is she from the Wei family?"
Situ Jin was a little surprised: "Wei Heng is too arrogant to kill people in public."
Su Ying looked at the crowd and said: "You can only escape in public. If you fall from that high platform, you will die or be disabled. What's more, they have knives in their hands. Participants in the competition only registered their names. If something happens, , as long as I burrowed into the crowd, no one could catch me. I was surrounded by people, and everyone’s eyes were focused on the high platform. How could anyone pay attention to the people around me? If the person behind me succeeded, I’m afraid Even if I fall down, no one may catch the murderer immediately."
There was a killing intent in Situ Jin's eyes: "We just saved Mr. Lu's life, but he actually wants both of our lives. This shows that the power of the Wei family cannot be underestimated."
Su Ying replied: "Today Wei Heng had a conflict with the Lu brothers in public. He probably already knew about Lu Xuan's condition, so he asked his servants to sprinkle flour on Lu Xuan in public. If Lu Xuan died at that time, it would have caused trouble to the government. , they said that they did not know about Lu Xuan’s condition and did so unintentionally. After all, Lu Xuan is the head of the Lu family, so naturally his weaknesses will not be made public, and the government will not be able to hold the Wei family accountable."
"We happened to encounter this incident today and saved Lu Xuan. Naturally Wei Heng will not let us go. I'm afraid we have been targeted since we left the restaurant."
Situ Jin's cold eyes glanced at the crowd next to him, and his hands unconsciously pulled Su Ying behind him. Su Ying felt warm in her heart. He was still the same as in his previous life. Whenever he was in danger, he would always protect himself. behind.
