Fang Xu turned pale and his eyes were sharp, "You two, don't move. I'll go out and take a look."
Just as she was about to stand up, Bai Ji immediately held her wrist, shook her head slightly, and whispered, "Madam, stay here and don't make any noise."
Fang Xu frowned and said softly, "You are obviously here for me. If you go back in time, you can still call on some more people."
"No matter what Madam says, I will never leave you here alone." Bai Ji lowered his face coldly, looking puzzled.
Fang Xu angrily poked her forehead, "Why didn't I realize before that you are such a generous person?"
"Madam, please let the two of us stay." Su Zi threw the embroidery samples aside and lowered his voice, "Before you were kidnapped, Bai Ji cried with self-blame. This time, just obey her. .”
Fang Xu saw that the two of them were resolute, sighed heavily, and whispered, "It doesn't matter, you can stay here if you want!"
Bai Ji then smiled and said carelessly, "Hide well, madam, I'll go out and meet them!"
"You are short of strings!" Fang Xu hit her on the head and cursed softly, "What can you do with your bare hands? What they have is feathered arrows! Are you being used as a target in vain?"
Bai Ji's words stuck in his mouth and he couldn't spit them out anymore.
Fang Xu sighed and whispered, "Just hide here. If they don't see anyone getting out of the car, they will definitely come and take a look."
"Bai Ji, go and guard the door." Fang Xu raised his chin forward and said softly, "As long as someone comes in, you will go over with your sword!"
"If you kill one of them, you won't pay any compensation. If you kill a pair of them, you will gain."
Bai Ji nodded, tried his best to move as gently as possible, so that the carriage would be stable and not rocking, and moved to the side of the carriage little by little.
Fang Xu pulled Su Zi and knelt down on the carriage, lying down.
As expected by Fang Xu, the people on the mountain saw that there was no movement in the carriage and shot a few more arrows one after another.
The feather arrow flew past the side of the bun, and Fang Xu couldn't hold back any sound, but just pressed Su Zi's head lower with his hands.
Not long after, two footsteps were heard outside the carriage.
"Brother Chuan, you can't die... the master specifically told her to let her breathe!"
came a male voice with a thick accent.
"What's the fuss about? You'll know if you're dead or not if you go in and take a look!"
Another male voice was a little rough, and his tone was full of impatience.
The next moment, there was a rustling sound outside the car, and the car curtain was slowly lifted.
It's now!
Fang Xu suddenly raised his head and met Bai Ji's eyes.
Bai Ji looked away, clenched the dagger in his hand, and opened the car curtain, revealing the man's upper body. Bai Ji made a decisive decision and stabbed his neck with the knife, twisted it half a circle, and forcefully dug out a bloody hole. .
The man's eyes widened, he only made a few "ho ho" sounds, and then fell into the carriage.
The opened curtain fell gently, and Fang Xu lay on the ground, only to see a figure running away in a hurry.
Bai Ji wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Fang Xu.
"Stop chasing." Fang Xu sat up, his eyes fell on the man who died in front of him, and said softly, "Check this one first."
Bai Ji stopped, raised the curtain and looked out. He saw a familiar figure lying next to the carriage. He paused, turned around and said, "Madam, Uncle Zhang is gone."
Fang Xu also raised his head. Seeing this scene, he sighed softly, "He is an old man in the house. He has no children and only one wife... People can't be resurrected after death, so please give him more money to settle down."
"Yes." Bai Ji jumped out of the car and dragged Uncle Zhang's body to the bushes not far away.
While Fang Xu was talking to Bai Ji, Su Zi turned around the gangster with difficulty, her eyes fell on his waist, and her pupils shrank sharply.
"Husband... Madam!" Su Zi pointed at the man's waist, her voice trembling, "I have seen this token at Princess Duanyang's Mansion!"
When Fang Xu heard this, he looked back at her and narrowed his eyes, "Seriously?"
"My slave will never remember it wrong!" Su Zi turned pale with fright, and whispered, "Every guard in Princess Duanyang's Mansion is wearing this token. Only the words on the token are different, and the rest are indistinguishable. Not half the difference!”
Fang Xu stared at the token, his eyes became dark, and he said slowly, "What a Duanyang."
Su Zi bit her lower lip, pulled off the sign, and said angrily, "Just because the madam didn't help her, she had murderous intentions and committed such a murderous act!"
"She may not really want to kill me." Fang Xu took a deep breath. The smell of blood that poured into her nose made her sober. "As I said just now, the master above asked them to let me breathe."
"Then..." Su Zi was a little confused, "Then what's causing the trouble?"
Fang Xu raised his eyes and stared at the car board above his head, slightly dazed, his thoughts drifting back to his twenties.
"My father once taught me some ways to manipulate people's hearts." Fang Xu looked as usual, very calm, "Break a capable person's legs, give him a pair of crutches, and make him grateful, then you can use him. Unfailing loyalty.”
Su Zi's back felt cold and she said in a trembling voice, "So...Princess Duanyang wants to severely injure Madam and then lend a helping hand to achieve her previous goal?"
"This is the most common emperor's strategy, but she understands it very well." Fang Xu chuckled, "It's a pity that the wrong person was involved in the scheme."
"When you get back to the mansion, you wrap up this token and send it to Princess Duanyang's mansion." Fang Xu looked at Su Zi and slowly raised the corner of his mouth, "Just say it was a meeting gift that I made up for."
Duanyang Princess Mansion
"Princess," Qingli walked quickly into the room holding a mahogany box and said with a smile, "Mrs. Yongcheng sent me a small gift. She said it was the first time I met you. I don't know the etiquette. This is a complementary gift. "
Duanyang was lying on the imperial concubine, and beside her was a fair-skinned little guard who was handing green tea to her mouth.
Hearing this, Duanyang sneered, hooked the token on the little guard's waist, "Bring it up and have a look."
The little guard responded, stood up and walked to Qingli, took the mahogany box, then returned to Duanyang and opened it with a smile.
Duanyang lowered his eyes and looked down. After seeing clearly what was in the box, his face turned pale and he raised his hand to knock the box to the ground.
"Princess?" The little guard was stunned and looked down at the ground.
The wooden box was broken in half, and a blood-stained token fell out, with the word "Tao" engraved on it.
Duanyang sat on the chair, breathing heavily, and threw away the hand of the little guard who wanted to hold him.
Looking at the token on the ground, Duanyangqi blushed, punched the soft cushion under him, and screamed, "Damn Fang Xu... just wait for me!"
Two words
Fang Xu returned to the Hou Mansion. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw a group of orioles and swallows gathered around his door. If he looked carefully, he saw that they were the noble ladies at the palace banquet.
The leader saw Fang Xu, bowed to her, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I have met Mrs. Yong Chenghou."
After hearing this, the people behind him also turned around and saluted Fang Xu.
"No need to be polite." Fang Xu smiled, waved his hand, and said softly, "Why do you have time to come to the house?"
The leader smiled and said softly, "Isn't there a lantern temple fair tonight? It's very lively. I want to go out for a stroll in Wanzhou and buy some things that the girl likes."
Fang Xu knew it and raised the corners of his lips, "This lantern temple fair is a good day for lovers to meet. Are you a bunch of little girls going to join in the fun?"
