No matter whether they burn incense and worship Buddha or donate money for sesame oil, the dignitaries in Beijing like to go to the Huguo Temple in the southern suburbs.
The Qiao family's carriage went all the way out of the South City Gate, drove on the official road for about half a quarter of an hour, and then turned onto the road to Huguo Temple.
Most people go there in the morning to burn incense and worship Buddha, and in the afternoon they usually go for fun, so there are far fewer people.
For example, at this time, except for the Qiao family's motorcade, there were no other people on the way up the mountain.
Qiao Tianjing rode his horse and followed the car, saying a few words to the people in the car from time to time. Occasionally he would say something interesting and laugh lowly.
On the hillside in the distance, dozens of people were lurking here, staring closely at this scene.
"Master Feng, how are you?" the secret guard asked in a low voice.
Zhufeng's eyes were fixed on Qiao Tianjing's face, and he raised his eyebrows slightly for a while.
"It's Qiao Tianjing, that's right."
When the secret guards heard this, they immediately cheered up.
"Please give me some instructions, Master Feng!"
Zhufeng exhaled slightly and shouted in a low voice: "Where is Gongyue?"
"grown ups!"
Gong Yue was a tall man, whose face was covered so that he couldn't see clearly. He was carrying a simple bow behind him.
Zhufeng ordered in a cold voice: "Gongyue, shoot the carriage!"
"yes!"
Gongyue responded solemnly, took a few steps back, climbed up a tree, adjusted her posture, and drew her bow and nocked an arrow!
The muscles on his arms ruffled, and the bow string was stretched to the extreme, making a faint sound that made people feel sad.
call out--
The sharp arrow flew out as fast as lightning!
Without giving anyone any time to react, the arrow shot through the curtain of the carriage!
Zhufeng's heart suddenly lifted!
No matter who in the Qiao family dies today, as long as the news reaches Qiao Zhongguo's ears, it will be enough to make him confused!
"ah--"
Almost at the same time, a shrill female voice came from the Qiao family's carriage, high-pitched, frightened, and full of despair!
Zhufeng clearly saw that Qiao Tianjing suddenly opened his mouth, the blood on his face faded instantly, and he suddenly jumped from the horse to the front of the car!
"mother!!!"
His voice trembled, full of panic.
It’s really Mrs. Qiao!
Zhufeng was ecstatic and waved his hand towards the secret guard beside him.
"superior!"
Killing one today is a profit, killing two is a surprise, killing them all will probably drive Qiao Zhongguo crazy!
Qiao Tianjingfang opened the corner of the car curtain, and the four guards following the car gathered around him, whispering:
"There's a thief!"
Qiao Tianjing suddenly turned his head to look, the fear on his face was real, but there was a flash of light in his eyes!
——The arrow must have come from where Zhufeng is! Qiao Bo, it’s up to you!
A total of ten killers rushed down the slope, the swords in their hands flashing with dazzling light in the sun, and their killing intent was awe-inspiring.
"Protect the madam and the young master!"
Jiawei roared angrily and faced the attack.
Two fists were no match for four hands, and soon a killer jumped over the guards and attacked Qiao Tianjing and the carriage!
Qiao Tianjing drew his sword and resisted desperately, but his martial arts skills were still poor, and he was immediately forced out of the carriage by the two killers.
Qiao Tianjing looked extremely flustered and asked quickly: "Who are you?"
"Ah--"
The killer sneered contemptuously, turned around and jumped onto the carriage.
Zhufeng looked at the overall situation from the distant slope, and his heart was in his throat when he saw this!
As long as Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao die, they will withdraw immediately!
Zhufeng saw that the car curtain was opened, but the figure of the secret guard was too tall, completely blocking the scene inside the car.
What happened! Why is the secret guard not moving?
Zhufeng was so nervous that he leaned out slightly.
"ah--"
A sharp scream suddenly sounded, and Zhufeng's whole body suddenly stiffened.
Because this scream came from the secret guard!
I saw the secret guard falling backwards, with a dagger stuck in his left eye. The hilt was missing. When he fell to the ground, he was already lifeless!
"If you dare to lift my aunt's curtain, I'll poke your eyes out!"
A figure opened the curtain and came out neatly. Although she was dressed as a woman, her face was clearly that of a girl!
"Master, how was your performance?"
When she straightened up, she was still holding the ankle of a rag doll in her hand.
This is Uncle Qiao's daughter, whose maiden name is Dalian. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a very hot temper!
Qiao Tianjing arched his eyebrows, deflected the incoming sharp sword, and glanced at the opposite hillside in his busy schedule.
The moment he saw the secret guard being stabbed, Zhufeng already had a very bad premonition in his heart.
When Qiao Dalian opened the curtain and walked out, his hunch was confirmed.
At this moment, Zhufeng truly understood the second prince’s instructions.
——Never underestimate the Qiao family!
"You've fallen into a trap! Get out!"
Zhufeng stood up suddenly and shouted to the secret guard down the slope.
"Hey, you still want to leave?"
A sinister voice suddenly sounded from not far behind Zhufeng, making the hair on his body stand up!
He suddenly turned around and saw ten men in black surrounding him, and a dagger was placed on Gong Yue's neck!
Zhufeng's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this!
The fact that these people appeared so quietly meant that they had been ambushing here early in the morning, even before he arrived!
"Sir, leave quickly!"
Just when Gong Yue raised her voice, the man in black behind him wiped his neck cleanly!
"Go up, kill on the spot!"
The leading man in black gave an order coldly, and ten people jumped up!
The sound of fighting on the slope was instantly heard, and the second prince's secret guards immediately retreated upon hearing the sound, shouting:
"Protect your lord!"
Qiao Tianjing curled his lips slightly when he saw this.
Still want to leave? Zhufeng wouldn't think that his Qiao family was the only one here today, would he?
"it's here!"
The noise suddenly sounded from behind. The second prince's secret guard looked behind him and saw that the person was wearing official uniform and turned out to be a Daxing County police officer!
Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Tianjing immediately turned around and shouted: "I am Qiao Tianjing, the minister of household affairs. There is a thief here, come and catch him!"
Qiao Tianjing!
When the Daxing County police officer heard that it was the eldest son of the Qiao family, he became more and more anxious and hurriedly raised his knife to help!
"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, my subordinate is Daxing County Detective Chu Sheng, and he will surely bring the thief to justice!"
Eight detectives came in pursuit and immediately entangled the secret guard who was about to withdraw!
Seeing this, Qiao Dalian quickly put away her scimitar and returned to Qiao Tianjing, whispering: "Master, you didn't say you called the official family!"
Qiao Tianjing smiled lightly when he heard this.
The entire southern suburbs, including the Huguo Temple, are under the jurisdiction of Daxing County. If bandits block the road and kill people, how can we bypass Daxing County?
Since the second prince was so outrageous that he let his subordinates block the road and kill the court officials and their families, could he still keep this matter a secret?
cannot!
Not only was he unable to do so, he also wanted to make a big fuss and bring it before the Holy One, so that the Holy One could see just how difficult the situation of the Qiao family was!
As long as Zhufeng is caught today, regardless of life or death, his face will be enough to nail the second prince to the fact of murdering the Qiao family!
