The capital is naturally prosperous, the capital of the Six Dynasties, with accessible waterways, famous families like crucian carp crossing the river, and more legends about talented people and beautiful women.
However, wherever there are people, there is always right and wrong. This capital not only provides a prosperous and pampered city, but also gathers many people's desires and entangled interests.
How could Chen Changnian's thoughts, which could be seen through at a glance, be tolerated in the circle of Shangjing official ladies. And how could Chen Changnian, a girl who had seen a wider world, look down on the pettiness of these Beijing ladies.
Therefore, staying in a place like this, how could Chen Changnian not miss his old days in Yunzhou.
Although I have been staying in the capital for several years now, I should have adapted to the life here even if it is uncomfortable. However, now I suddenly see a woman who also came from the borderland and can have the same freedom as a man.
How could Chen Changnian not envy Ke Shizhao.
Jiang Nianjiao patted Chen Changnian's shoulder with understanding and said, "You don't have to be too depressed. When you are with Ziqing from now on, won't you be able to let fish jump in the ocean and birds fly in the sky?"
Chen Changnian was not the type to be sad for spring and autumn. She chuckled and said, "That's natural. Okay, let's go. I've already told our maids to let them pretend to be assassins in Chunfeng Tower. It's time for us too." Let Ziqing come out."
After saying this, Chen Changnian changed her clothes and took Jiang Nianjiao out.
At this time, Ke Shizhao was sitting in the main hall. She frowned and looked at the fallen flowers in front of the courtyard, and she didn't know what she was worried about.
"Ke Shizi, let's go?" Chen Yunian urged.
Only then did Ke Shizhao recover from his worries.
The three of them left the Chen Mansion and, at Ke Shizhao's invitation, took Ke Shizhao's carriage to Chunfeng Tower.
Chunfeng Restaurant is a newly opened wine shop. Its style is only somewhat similar to the wine shops in Yunzhou. It also eats meat in large quantities and drinks in large bowls. There are also some singers dressed as Qiang Mo women in the restaurant, only playing with the Qiang. The musical instruments only in Mo were singing Yunzhou songs, and the menu in this store mostly featured food from Qiangmo and Yunzhou, but the wine shop here was naturally much more luxurious than Yunzhou.
When Chen Changnian came to the Chunfeng Building, she obviously felt a little familiar. She was not very fond of Ke Shizhao at first, but when she suddenly saw such a wine shop, she couldn't help but have a good impression of Ke Shizhao.
Even Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but admire Ke Shizhao's meticulous observation.
However, the two parties didn't say much. After discovering Jiang Nianjiao and his group, the store owner only greeted him very eagerly, "How many of you are here to invite?"
Ke Shizhao said, "Arrange a private room for us."
The store clerk nodded naturally, and they arranged only a few of them in the largest private room.
Then the store clerk only enthusiastically recommended the signature dishes of his store. After Ke Shizhao and several others ordered the dishes, the clerk stepped back in a very sensible manner.
After the store clerk left, the place became quiet for a while. Jiang Nianjiao and Chen Changnian were waiting for the assassins they arranged to come over, while Ke Shizhao seemed to be thinking of something to say.
When both sides were silent, Ke Shizhao finally summoned up the courage. He glanced at Chen Changnian across from him and said, "Ah Chang, actually I'm inviting you over this time. In addition to thanking you, I also want to ask you to help me with something." A handful, I know this may be a bit abrupt, but I really have no other choice."
Chen Yannian looked at the door and asked absently, "What's going on? Just say it."
After hearing what Chen Changnian said, Ke Shizhao only glanced at Jiang Nianjiao hesitantly, as if his eyes were hinting Jiang Nianjiao to leave.
However, Jiang Nianjiao and Chen Changnian were waiting for the assassin to show up, so how could she look at Ke Shizhao. Therefore, she almost turned a blind eye to Ke Shizhao's hints.
Ke Shizhao obviously felt unusually frustrated after hinting several times without getting a response.
He cleared his throat and was about to discuss with Jiang Nianjiao to let her leave temporarily. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, a dart suddenly flew in from the window.
Moreover, the dart was stuck across the table and almost fell into Ke Shizhao's hand. He dodged it in time, and in the end the dart just hit the teacup in Ke Shizhao's hand.
Got it
With such movement, everyone's eyes naturally focused on the window at the same time.
At the same time, the window was pushed open, and then several men in black with long swords turned over and filed in.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but look at each other with Chen Yannian.
Good guy, the person you arranged is really unconventional.
Chen Yannian obviously thought that she was the one who arranged it, so she only made a gesture to ensure that everything was fine.
Because they both thought it was an assassin arranged by themselves, the two of them did not make any decent resistance.
Chen Changnian only resisted twice symbolically, but when she noticed that Ke Shizhao was shaking violently, she still thoughtfully pulled Ke Shizhao and hid behind her.
After Jiang Nianjiao discovered that the assassin had come in, she took three steps and two steps at a time and shouted for help at the door. She seemed to want to use this method to attract Yan Ziqing's attention.
However, before Yan Ziqing responded to her call for help, she received a response from a group of men in black at the door.
When Jiang Nianjiao stepped back from the door, she heard a sudden loud noise behind her.
Then the originally closed door was kicked open. At the same time, a group of men in black appeared at the door.
Jiang Nianjiao looked at the two men in black who appeared at the door and the window and didn't react for a moment.
And the man in black who broke in rashly was obviously not out of the situation.
When the two sides looked at each other, Cui Qiao, who was still dressed in black, suddenly approached Jiang Nianjiao and whispered, "Miss, don't worry, it's me."
After confirming that the person behind him was Cui Qiao, Jiang Nianjiao naturally stopped being dazed. She just pretended. Scream for help.
Cui Qiao chuckled, held a knife against Jiang Nianjiao and said, "I'll see where you can escape this time."
Jiang Nianjiao was naturally extremely cooperative and shouted for help.
But as the show continued, something started to feel wrong.
Jiang Nianjiao's cry for help did not attract Yan Ziqing's appearance. Instead, Chen Hongnian, who had been resisting at first, was playing "Come on, come on, you can't catch me" game with the opponent. She was only attacked by a man in black. She was momentarily helpless. Cha was actually knocked unconscious from behind with a knife.
Ke Shizhao, who was originally hiding behind Chen Hongnian, didn't know that they were acting. After discovering that something happened to Chen Hongnian, she immediately paid attention to Chen Hongnian who was lying softly on the ground. She was so frightened that she ran towards the door.
However, she, a little girl with no skills, could not compete with those well-trained men in black, and those people were not as merciful to her as Chen Changnian. One of the men in black suddenly took action and directly held the The long sword stabbed Ke Shizhao hard in the back.
What kind of new gameplay is this? Jiang Nianjiao was dumbfounded for a moment. However, just when the sword was about to pierce Ke Shizhao's back, someone among the men in black on Jiang Nianjiao's side was the first to react.
The man thrust his sword horizontally at the man in black, and after a few simple moves, the sword in the assassin's hand was knocked away by the opponent.
The assassin obviously didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway. After his sword was thrown away, the man in black only took a big step back cautiously, while the man in black who took action to defend Ke Shizhao Ke Shizhao, who was spinning around like a headless fly, caught him and then jumped back to Jiang Nianjiao's camp.
The retreating assassins were obviously not reconciled to such complicated matters, so they did not leave. They just held Chen Changnian in custody, and then asked loudly, "Who are you?"
Hearing the man's voice, even though Jiang Nianjiao was a little unresponsive at first, but now she saw Chen Changnian being kidnapped by this group of people, her mind finally came to her senses.
They were acting out a fake assassin to hook Yan Ziqing, but it seemed that they didn't hook Yan Ziqing, but the real assassin.
Moreover, these assassins also held Chen Changnian hostage.
So even if she wanted people on her side to take action, she still had to consider not letting these people hurt Chen Changnian.
At this time, Jiang Nianjiao was obviously not the only one who had such thoughts.
It was originally a tense situation, but the man in black behind Jiang Nianjiao suddenly answered the assassin's question in a deep voice, "Why are you here? That's why we are here."
"So, your target is also Prince Zhennan?" Yes
The person who kidnapped Chen Changnian asked.
His words only shocked people. Someone wants to take action against Prince Zhennan?
But the most important thing at the moment is obviously not to ask why these assassins wanted to assassinate the prince.
"Yes." The person on Jiang Nianjiao's side confirmed their conversation in a deep voice.
"I didn't expect that we are actually colleagues. This employer is really generous. He hired so many people at once. Who do you think you are?" The assassin had fought with Jiang Nianjiao's people and knew that he was no match for the other party, let alone The strength of the other party, so when they suddenly met on a narrow road, the assassin did not dare to take action rashly. He only wanted to find out the details with his colleagues. If these people were weaker than his own, then even if they were colleagues, they would take action to steal this person. It's just a business, after all, these people don't care about morality first.
However, how could the man in black not know what the assassin was planning? He simply gave a concise and comprehensive name to a martial arts family that, although not revealing, was enough to intimidate the young martial arts family, "Yuzhou Liu Family."
Sure enough, after hearing about the Liu family in Yuzhou, these people changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The assassins only exchanged a look at first, and then the leader could only smile politely and said, "It turns out to be the Liu family of Yuzhou. I was offended a lot just now, but everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. We took action on this person first." .”
The assassin originally thought that the man in black would probably ignore him, but the man in black said, "You were the first to attack her, but I was the one who caught her."
