Song Jiuli, who was sleeping, was frightened awake by the sword outside. She opened the carriage curtain in a panic.
"what happened?"
"There are assassins."
Qiu Yan's duty is to protect Jiang Wan. She holds a sword in her hand and protects her outside the carriage.
In addition, Song Jiuyuan also sent several people to protect them.
Mrs. Song was panicking, "These people are just so endless."
"Madam, don't be afraid."
Song Qing was worried about them and also guarded outside the carriage. For a while, the assassins could not get close at all.
Jiang Wan frowned, and just as she was about to stand up, Mrs. Song held her back.
"Wanwan, I know you are powerful, but I believe Yuan'er and the others can handle it.
You don’t have to take care of everything for them. Sometimes you should let them go and let them protect you. "
Her words shocked Jiang Wan. Indeed, who wants to have blood on their hands?
So Jiang Wan glanced outside and saw that Song Jiuyuan could handle it completely, so she didn't go out.
However, Chao En's screams could be heard outside from time to time. Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and shouted deliberately.
"Quick, help!"
When Song Jiuli and Mrs. Song saw this, they also started shouting in panic.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Song Jiuyuan came over feeling refreshed and smelling of blood.
"Wanwan, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine."
Jiang Wan looked over and saw that the assassins had been dealt with and there were still a few left alive. Song Yi dragged them away for interrogation.
What surprised Jiang Wan was that there were many imperial guards brought by Chao En lying on the ground.
Chao En held up the handkerchief with his fingertips and covered his lips, his high-pitched voice a bit harsh.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"
"Father-in-law."
The man supporting Chao En seemed to be Wei Qi, the leader of the Jinyi Guards. He looked at the corpse on the ground with a livid face and murmured.
"Just...I'm the only one left."
Jiang Wan:......
Her somewhat thoughtful eyes fell on Song Jiuyuan. It was good to weaken the people around Chao En. Now look at how he is still jumping around.
"what happened?"
Chao En was in a hurry and almost tripped over the corpse on the ground. He looked at Song Jiuyuan.
"My lord, your people have not suffered any losses at all. All the people who have suffered losses are our family members. It is really unjustifiable."
"You can't blame me for this."
Song Jiuyuan said in a serious tone, "My people are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield.
They knew how to save their lives, even so, they also suffered a lot of injuries. "
Not far away, the soldiers were simply healing their wounds, and Chaoen choked on his words.
"No way, it can't be such a coincidence, you must have done it on purpose!"
Wei Qi glanced at Song Jiuyuan resentfully and stared sadly at the brothers on the ground.
"Don't spit on anyone."
Jiang Wan understood Song Jiuyuan's temperament. After all, he was from Dafeng. He would not deliberately let his people hurt these Jin Yiwei.
At most, he failed to protect them and allowed them and the assassins to kill him.
"You should have seen them confront the enemy with your own eyes just now. They were indeed very brave. They sacrificed their lives to protect you two."
Song Jiuyuan's words came from the bottom of his heart. He just used a little trick to make people mistakenly think that the people sitting in Chaoen's carriage were his Song family members.
Then he stood not far from Chaoen's carriage and faced the enemy, instantly attracting the assassin's firepower.
Wei Qi wanted to say something more, but Chao En endured it and gently pulled Wei Qi.
"Weiqi, calm down."
"Father-in-law!"
Wei Qi's eyes turned red, "They..."
"Our family understands your feelings, but we have to return to Beijing as soon as possible. We cannot miss the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
Chaoen winked at Wei Qi crazily, and now they were the only two left.
If Wei Qi makes trouble again and is removed by Song Jiuyuan, he will be left to fight alone.
It was also at this time that Wei Qi reacted. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said:
"I usually train them too loosely, causing them to lose their lives."
The hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, obviously resentful of Song Jiuyuan.
There are so many people who hate him. Song Jiuyuan said to everyone as if he couldn't see it:
"The smell of blood here is too strong. Let's go further and repair it."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone agreed, and at this time Song Jiuchi, who was chasing them, quickly caught up with them.
"What's going on? Someone is looking for trouble again?"
He turned over and dismounted, wrinkled his nose in disgust, Jiang Wan replied:
"Don't worry, your elder brother has already taken care of it."
"How's the interrogation going with the people over there?"
Song Jiuyuan left Song Jiuchi to deal with the big men. Song Jiuchi happened to say goodbye to Qi Chuyi, so he came a little late.
Speaking of those big men who caused trouble, Song Jiuchi's face was full of anger, "Ask it out!
It was Magistrate Jiang who had nothing to do and deliberately poured dirty water on me. I brought the evidence along with him. "
"Is it Magistrate Jiang?"
Chao En glanced at Jiang Wan in surprise. He seemed to remember that Magistrate Jiang was Jiang Wan's cousin.
It seems that the internal fighting in the Jiang family is more intense than he imagined.
"Yes, it's that bitch!"
Song Jiuchi said with righteous indignation, "When I return to Kyoto, I will trouble my father-in-law to tell the truth in front of the Holy Emperor.
Since Governor Jiang came here, he has not done anything for the people at all. He stays in the mansion pretending to be sick all day long. "
"puff……"
Jiang Wan laughed inwardly, Song Jiuchi did a good job.
Jiang Wei has indeed been claiming to be ill. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he can't verify it by himself.
Chaoen's expression froze, and he said vaguely: "When our family returns to the capital, we will tell the Lord everything.
However, our family cannot interfere with His Majesty’s decision. Everything depends on His Majesty’s wishes. "
The implication is that he will tell the truth, but he has no control over whether the emperor listens or not.
Jiang Wan didn't know what Chao En meant. After all, they themselves knew what he said when he reported to the emperor alone.
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Please get on the carriage and repair it first."
Song Qing could see that Chao En's patience was reaching its limit, so he interrupted their words.
After hearing this, Chaoen hurriedly climbed into the carriage, and Wei Qi drove the carriage forward.
Song Jiuchi couldn't help but sneered, "Don't regret it if you don't want to be on the same team as us."
"Jiuchi, be careful what you say!"
Song Qing scolded him with a straight face, "You must be more careful about what you say after returning to Kyoto. Our Song family has long been a thorn in the eyes of many people."
"I know, Dad."
Song Jiuchi was not stupid. He was surrounded by his own people, so he chatted a few words casually.
Song Qing said to Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan: "Yuan'er, you should go ahead and leave it to me to clean up the rest."
"No, Song Yi will handle it. Mom may be frightened. You stay with me."
Song Jiuyuan understood his mother's temperament. Seeing that Song Yi and the others handled it well, Song Qing did not insist any longer.
So Jiang Wan left space for them and got into another carriage alone.
Song Jiuyuan followed her and sat up, "Wanwan, although Chaoen is a person sent by the emperor.
But the old emperor is old, and he may be involved with several princes, so be careful with him. "
"rest assured."
Jiang Wan wrinkled her nose slightly, "The smell of blood is so strong. Are you injured?"
