Chapter 33 The Road ([-])

Watching Su Yunran and Ye Mutian leave, Xu Linqing breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that she was more than three or four years older.

He couldn't help touching his face, he sighed, God really didn't want him to be safe!

After learning that there were unknown people lurking outside the post station, Xu Linqing was frightened. He was afraid that His Majesty Ye Di would act according to the original plan.

Finally, His Majesty gave up, but the assassin came again, and he went to Su Yunran with a clear goal.

Xu Linqing's heart was raised again - since he came to Su, his heart has never stayed in one place safely!

The more Xu Linqing thought about it, the more angry he became. Just because he can't do anything to His Majesty, doesn't mean he can't do anything to other people.

Like the assassin tonight!

"Keep alive!" Xu Linqing stood outside, his cold voice passed through the rain curtain and fell clearly into the guard's ears.

"Yes, my lord." Ye Kingdom's guards firmly agreed.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the two men in black who were besieged retreated while fighting, and were about to escape.

Xu Linqing sneered, I would have no face to see His Majesty if you ran away!

"Give me my bow!" He stretched out his hand, and the guard following him immediately handed him the big bow in his hand.

Bow, nock, let go!

The off-string arrow pierced straight through the leg bone of one of the men in black, and the huge force caused the man in black to lean forward unsteadily.

Another man in black supported him.

The guards seized this rare opportunity, swarmed up, caught the assassins in two or three strokes, and unloaded the poison hidden in their mouths.

Now I can't do it even if I want to die.

Things are a foregone conclusion.

"Thank you Master Xu for catching the assassin for Su."

Mu Kai came out from the shadows and cupped his hands to Xu Linqing.He had found an opportunity to leave the battle circle when Su Yunran left. Anyway, Su Yunran was not around, so she didn't have to pass it on to others.

Yes, the four assassins this time were sent by Su Shuiyun to assist him.

Originally, it was planned that the hero would save Meimei so that Su Yunran would completely give up on her, but he never expected that another wave of assassins would appear tonight, and the guards of the night kingdom came too fast.

But it doesn't matter, presumably Su Yunran has become more attached to her after seeing his fearless performance.

But, who would send the other assassins?

Mu Kai secretly guessed.

"Where did Guard Mu speak?" Xu Linqing returned the big bow to the guard, and smiled slightly, "This assassin is so bold that he dared to assassinate the empress. He really doesn't care about our Ye Kingdom. Don't worry, Guard Mu, I will definitely interrogate you strictly , must find out who is behind the scenes! Give Su Guo, give Ye Guo an explanation!"

Mu Kai's words were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say it if he wanted to return to the assassin, thinking that he must find a chance to silence him, and he and Su Shuiyun must not be confessed.

"Then please trouble Master Xu." He said dryly.

"Guard Mu, it's better to bandage the wound quickly, it looks like the injury is not serious." Xu Linqing said.

Mu Kai shook his head, "I'm fine. The most important thing now is the safety of Princess Seven."

"Master Xu, where is the Seventh Princess!"

Wei Zhengxin came along the same way as the guards, and it was Wei Zhengxin who led people to stop the men in black in front, so that Xu Linqing could come in time.

"I asked the guards to send Seventh Princess to rest." Xu Linqing went up to meet her, "It rains heavily at night, which is not good for Seventh Princess' health."

Wei Zhengxin nodded, "Master Xu is still considerate."

"Master Wei, where are those assassins!" Xu Linqing asked.

"Forget it." Wei Zhengxin waved his hand, "They're all dead."

"Aren't there any survivors?" Xu Linqing was astonished. It wasn't the first time General Wei led troops, so how could he make such a mistake.

Wei Zhengxin was also full of annoyance, "I already ordered the guards to capture him alive, but who would have thought that the man in black would take poison and commit suicide immediately when he saw that he couldn't escape. I didn't even try to stop him."

"This has nothing to do with Master Wei, and we didn't expect the assassins to be so decisive." Xu Linqing said, "But I caught two assassins, and there will be results under torture."

"That's really great." Wei Zhengxin rubbed his fists happily.

"Master Wei, the most urgent thing is to check whether there are any assassin's accomplices inside or outside the station." Xu Linqing said seriously.

"I have already ordered the guards to check, and no strangers will be spared." Wei Zhengxin nodded, "The Seventh Princess' residence needs to be patrolled by more people, and nothing will happen."

"Naturally." Xu Linqing also nodded, it doesn't matter if your Seventh Princess dies, if something happens to our Majesty, the Ye Kingdom will be in chaos!

After saying a few words, Wei Zhengxin led the assassin away.

Xu Linqing didn't say anything, what he said earlier was just a deliberate choke.

Emperor Yongping thought that the matter of Mu Kai and Su Yunran had been kept from him, but in fact, he knew everything he needed to know.If it wasn't for Ye Mutian's insistence that he only wanted Su Yunran, he would rather have a minister's daughter!But Su Yunran was protected by Ye Mutian, so he could only vent his anger and let her go.

"Lin Ye, I have something for you to do." After separating from Wei Zhengxin, Xu Linqing waved to the guard with the strongest martial arts around him.

"My lord?" Lin Ye looked at him suspiciously.

Xu Linqing took out a paper bag and gave it to him, "Put this in the medicine prescribed by Mu."

Lin Ye uncovered the paper bag, "My lord, Mu Kai is the only heir of Duke Mu, if found out..."

"Don't worry, this is not poison." Xu Linqing said indifferently, "This is the medicine that I specially asked the imperial doctor to prescribe for me to make people unable to lift. At most, it will not be hardened for three to five years, and it will not kill people."

The corner of Lin Ye's mouth twitched, what are you doing with this on your body!

Thinking about it this way, he still took the order to retreat.

Xu Linqing flicked her wet sleeves, thinking gleefully, if His Majesty will give him a little more salary if he finds out!

The small courtyard where Su Yunran lived was no longer safe, so the guards escorted Su Yunran and Ye Mutian to another small courtyard where no one lived.

The post station has been thoroughly cleaned to welcome the sending team, so even if you pass by in a hurry, the small courtyard can still be occupied.

After entering the small courtyard, Ye Mutian ordered the maid to prepare a hot water brazier, ginger soup and clothes, and followed Su Yunran into the inner room, wiped his body with a dry cloth, and changed into clean clothes.

Su Yunran sneezed again, and said, "Caiwei, change your clothes first, you are also soaked."

"Slaves are fine." Ye Mutian stuffed the hot hand warmer into Su Yunran's arms, and fetched a basin of hot water, "The hot water is too late to prepare, you should soak your feet first, slowly."

"If you are told to change clothes, you can go." Su Yunran frowned, thinking of the scene where Ye Muwei was protecting her tightly before, she became inexplicably irritable.

Ye Mutian was startled, "The servant obeys."

After hurriedly changing clothes, Ye Mutian finally felt a little warmth.

"Come here, accompany this princess." Su Yunran hooked his fingers, and then pointed to his feet.

Ye Mutian just woke up and refused, when she saw Su Yunran stare, she immediately moved a chair and sat opposite Su Yunran.

Soaked in hot water, it seems that the whole body is warmed up.

Su Yunran stepped on her feet, which were soft and very comfortable.

"Hey, Caiwei, who do you think will send the assassin this time?" Su Yunran asked while looking at the tub.

"I don't know." Ye Mutian replied softly.

"You don't know either!" Su Yunran blinked at her, "You really don't know?"

"How did the servant know?" Ye Mutian didn't rush.

There was a knock on the door, and the maid came with two bowls of ginger soup.

"Princess Seven, I'd better go ask the imperial physician to show you!" Ye Mutian remembered that Su Yunran's health didn't seem to be very good, and this time it was raining again, so he was very worried.

"My princess is not that weak, just rest for one night." Su Yunran shook his hand, "There must be more guards injured tonight, and they need doctors more than me."

Ye Mutian couldn't persuade her, he could only make himself pay more attention.

Facts have proved that Su Yunran really overestimated himself.

After falling asleep for less than an hour, Ye Mutian found that she was feverish all over, and she was already unconscious.
