Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Extraterrestrial assassination

The Shengge dispersed, and all the officials returned happily.

Lin Rongchen took Yan Xi back to his residence.Although his small courtyard is not far from the imperial palace, there is still a distance from the main entrance.Especially when it was late and it was snowing again, the few people carrying the sedan chair walked more slowly.

Probably because he was afraid of the slippery snow, Zhao Xun arranged for a sedan chair for four people, so it would be safer.In addition, two imperial guards were sent to escort.

Yan Xi declined left and right, but Zhao Xun was very persistent. He didn't understand, what's the point of such a way?A small official of the fifth rank, is it possible that someone will assassinate him?I have never seen Zhao Xun so cautious before.

Yan Xi didn't know, but Lin Rongchen knew that if Hu Qingqing wanted to do something, it would be on Yan Xi's way back. This was an excellent time.As a result, Yan Xi, who hadn't seen him for many days, finally entered the palace.Secondly, the night is quiet, the wind is high and the snow is heavy, no matter what traces are left, they will be wiped away by the wind and snow after one night. With such a favorable time and place, it would be no wonder if she didn't know how to do it!So as soon as Yan Xi went out, Lin Rongchen immediately winked at Zhao Xun.Although Zhao Xun sent two people to follow, he brought a pair of men and horses to accompany him secretly for protection.

It snowed extraordinarily heavily tonight.Under the dim light from the windows on both sides, Xue Hua seemed to be able to see a little bit of cold light, Yan Xi couldn't help shivering, the sedan chair was also ventilated!

The wind and snow were getting worse, he listened to the wind as sharp as a knife outside in the sedan chair, and felt chills all over his body.At this moment, I miss Lin Rongchen's embrace a little bit.

For some reason, this winter has been abnormally terrible.Yan Xi had some bad premonitions, and with the heavy snow and the unstable sedan chair, he couldn't calm down even more.

Turning into the alley, there was a sudden noise outside, and the sedan chair fell to the ground!

Yan Xi swayed from side to side following the sedan chair, a gust of wind blew, even the person and the sedan chair fell to the ground, Yan Xi fell heavily, and took a long time to get out.As soon as he showed his head, he saw a group of masked men holding up gleaming knives and surrounding him.Relying on the faint lights leaking from the windows of the surrounding people who hadn't rested, he could vaguely discern about a dozen people.The person who carried the sedan chair had already disappeared without a trace.On the quiet and empty street, there were only him and the two imperial guards who fell to the ground with arrows.

Are these people coming to kill him?

Yan Xi's heart is as cold as this wind and snow.

A weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken is facing a dozen or so reckless men, not to mention that these people still have weapons in their hands. He is completely like a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

Yan Xi looked back at the way he came from, the dark alley was empty, his heart suddenly sank, and he might die here today.

Large flakes of snowflakes fell on his face and turned into water.

He sighed lowly, and an unspeakable emotion welled up in his heart.If he had known that this day would come so soon, he would not have waited until yesterday to meet Lin Rongchen frankly.

It was the same when Li Xingzhi left... Why did he always live in regret all his life?I always feel that there is still a lot of time, and there are many, many opportunities, but...it always fails.

Yan Xi focused his eyes on the leader, "Who sent you here?"

The masked man didn't speak, he glanced left and right, nodded, and a dozen or so people came up to surround him.Yan Xi closed his eyes, it would be very ugly to be hacked to death with random knives, right?Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and shouted: "Wait a minute, before I die, can I ask you one thing?"

The killer probably didn't expect that for so many years in the world of killers, it was the first time he met a person who asked them for something before he died, and then he was stunned. While he was in a daze, Yan Xi said a series of words in one breath , "Can you kill me with one knife, and don't make me die too ugly? If possible, please leave a whole body. It would be better if it doesn't disfigure me!"

The killer was speechless for a while, maybe he didn't understand Yan Xi's meaning for a while.Then he nodded to everyone, and those people took a step back and did not move forward.

Yan Xi looked at the blade as cold as ice in his hand and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow pierced through the wind and snow, and hit the blade with a crisp ding dong.Although the blade was deflected, it didn't hurt Yan Xi's chest, but it slashed his arm, Yan Xi was so painful that he almost burst into tears.

Immediately, a wound several inches long was visible on the left arm, bleeding profusely, and the official uniform was soaked through after a while.

A few people flew over from the eaves and wrestled with the man in black.One of them took his arms and flew him away.Yan Xi clutched his arm and bared his teeth in pain, "Take it easy, take it easy...you're pinching my wound!"

"Master Yan, the future is too late! Please forgive me!" Zhao Xun changed his arm, and his strength was not as strong as before.

Yan Xi was taken up and down by him, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak!Forgot to cry out.

Entering the palace wall, Zhao Xun slowly fell down.

Yan Xi clutched his wound, weeping, "...I thought I was going to die at the hands of those people!"

Zhao Xun was very sorry, and bowed again to apologize, "Master Yan, follow me quickly, Imperial Physician Li is waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had entered the Qianqiu Gate, thinking about Zhao Xun's words just now, his face turned pale all of a sudden.

Zhao Xun was also stunned on the spot, he just...came into a catastrophe.

"Lord Yan, things are not what you think." Except for Lin Rongchen's disappearance during the autumn hunt last time, Zhao Xun was flustered once, growing up so big, he has never been so distracted for a moment as he is now. "Emperor Li didn't make a special trip to wait for Mr. Yan in the Hall of Supreme Harmony..."

Because Yan Xi's eyes are suddenly terribly cold, just like at this moment, in this night where the dripping water turns into ice - falling snow.

"What do I think? General Zhao will know?" Yan Xi's voice was extremely soft, which Zhao Xun had never heard before, as if the wind would blow all his words away, "General Zhao didn't listen Have you ever said a word?"

Zhao Xun asked in a daze, "What are you talking about?"

"There is no silver 300 taels here."

Zhao Xun was at a loss for words.He lowered his eyes and did not speak until he came up with a reason that he thought could be justified, "...the emperor drank a lot of wine at the birthday banquet and was not feeling well. ..."

Yan Xi clutched his bleeding arm, turned around and walked outside the palace gate. "This is a small injury, don't bother the imperial doctor, I'll go back and get some medicine."

Zhao Xun wanted to cry out anxiously, it was not a minor injury at all, he knew better than anyone else how powerful the arrow was, but he only missed the edge of the knife by a few inches, it can be seen that the person who wielded the knife had exhausted all his strength, Didn't want to stay alive at all.Such a heavy force pierced the arm, even if it didn't penetrate the bone, it would leave a deep wound.

Zhao Xun stopped him, "Lord Yan, this is the meaning of the last general, it has nothing to do with the emperor, you...don't misunderstand him."

Yan Xi couldn't listen to what he said, he suddenly felt bitter as if he had a mouthful of blood in his mouth, his chest was obviously not hurt, but it was more painful than his arm.

If Zhao Xun missed, if that knife hit his chest, what would happen now?Is Lin Rongchen so sure that he will be fine?Didn't he think about what would happen?

In order to pull Hu Qingqing down, he really did everything he could.

"General Zhao, you've been busy for a day, go back and rest! I want to go home with such heavy snow, please let the general do it!" Yan Xi's voice was so flat that no trace of anger or other emotions could be heard.

How dare Zhao Xun get out of the way?Yan Xi was injured, if he was let go like this, how would he face Lin Rongchen?How to explain to Lin Rongchen?

Zhao Xun unexpectedly knelt down, "Master Yan!"

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect this strong man to kneel down, he tried his best to endure the pain, and persuaded: "General Zhao, there is gold under the man's knees, even if you kneel, I can't be with you." Go back! I don’t want to go to that place right now...Please ask General Zhao to let Yan Xi go back to stop the bleeding for the sake of our acquaintance, otherwise..." Yan Xi looked at the falling red dots on the ground , with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I wasn't killed by the assassin, but I would have lost blood and died at Qianqiu Gate."

Zhao Xun raised his eyes and saw that the snow in front of him was already bright red, so he dared not delay, so he got up and stepped aside, following Yan Xi step by step.

Yan Xi didn't look back, nor did he stop him, and followed him all the way.

When he walked to the door, his shoulders were already covered with a thick layer of snow. Zhao Xun followed closely behind, extremely anxious, worried about his wounds, and worried that he might misunderstand Lin Rongchen. He opened and closed his mouth, but he didn't know what to do. where to start.

Yan Xi pushed open the door, turned around and said, "Thank you General Zhao for escorting you all the way!"

"Master Yan, let the general help you treat the wound!"

"No need!" After closing the door, Yan Xi fell down in the snow, tears streaming down her face, the wound was so fucking painful.

Zhao Xun heard strange noises outside and knocked on the door repeatedly, "Master Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Xi sniffled and said it was all right.

Zhao Xun said: "At the end of tonight, people will be sent to guard outside again, in case those killers make a comeback. If you feel unwell, just shout."

"Yeah!" Yan Xi got up and went back to the room, taking off his official uniform.He found the half bottle of wine left over from the last time he drank with Liang Yanwen, sterilized the wound, sprinkled medicine for bruises, and randomly pulled a piece of cloth to cover the wound.After tidying up, he was drenched in cold sweat with pain, sitting on the edge of the bed without moving.

Fortunately, Liang Yanwen is not here today.Otherwise, he doesn't know how to explain it.
