There was a graceful lotus painted on the white rice paper. Seeing such a painting, it was hard for Jian Yu not to think too much.
She turned the paper over and wrote two extremely elegant words on the back: Night comes.
Now I am more certain where the paper came from.
Regarding the assassin, Jian Yu actually had her own plans. The other party could choose to betray Tang Fu, and his defection to her might not be very sincere. She and that person were seeking the skin of a tiger.
The most critical point is the condition that makes the assassin's heart beat, and she can't satisfy it at the moment! Not to mention the huge amount of money needed to buy an official, the fifth-grade official I promised to save my life at that time was simply not available!
When the assassin left, he said he would come back in a few days. Jian Yu thought that after a few days, she would marry to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Although Prince Jing is gone, the guard in the palace is still there. Prince Jing's Palace is famously strict in Shengjing, and assassins will not come and go as freely as they do in Taifu's Palace.
Furthermore, when her grandfather came back, she told him about the assassin, including the fact that she was forced to write a love story. She must have had a plan to deal with it.
The abacus was very good. Jian Yu never expected that the assassin would come to her so soon!
Ye Lai means coming tonight! The lotus came from the love poem she wrote. Thinking of facing that uncertain guy at night, Jian Yu couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart.
The joy of teasing Guo Yufen suddenly disappeared.
Rouge and gouache aside, she had to think carefully about how to deal with the assassin at night.
That night, Jian Yu waited with her eyes open all night, but did not see the assassin. Until the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone into the house, no one was seen.
She was so angry that she crumbled the piece of paper, and the bully was playing tricks on her!
Jian Yu was so angry that she had not slept for another night and was very nervous. Her eyesight turned black. She quickly sat down on the chair. In front of the dressing table mirror, her face looked weak and pale as snow.
Today is the day when her grandfather comes back. This pitiful look saves her from putting on makeup. Needless to say, my grandfather softened when he saw it.
Her grandfather would return home before evening, so she could catch up on her sleep.
Jian Yu, who fell asleep on the soft big bed, had no idea that the dangerous person she was deeply afraid of was approaching.
Taifu Jian's news was not as closed as Jian Yu thought. He received the news that the emperor had granted a marriage to his granddaughter at Linyue Peak.
In the past, they would finish their agricultural training that night and rush back to Shengjing the next day. After receiving the news, Taifu Jian couldn't sit still, so he resigned with the two princes that night, and then went back to Shengjing with two guards.
After receiving the news, Zhou Jinyan immediately thought of a plan. He pretended to be an assassin to test Taifu Jian's reality. He pretended to be a gold slave and took action. He would know how Taifu Jian reacted.
The cautious and suspicious Zhou Jinyan did not reduce his suspicion of Taifu Jian because he did not find any letters in the study. The person who wrote the letter may not be Taifu Jian, but it does not mean that he was not involved.
Bai Xiao on the side was addicted to assassins like his master, and after deceiving the young and the old, he silently despised him in his heart.
Then, follow "Complicit".
The two of them squatted on the way back to the city, carrying a golden slave token - an important tool to "reveal" their identity.
"Master, how can you be burdened with such a trivial matter? I can just do it alone~"
Bai Xiao secretly expressed his loyalty and tried to impress his master in order to obtain a clear identity. He wanted to go with his master to seek refuge with that unknown person!
Suddenly, Bai Xiao's expression changed, and he looked sideways at the intersection. He saw a guard fighting with two assassins, and another guard guarding Taifu Jian to dodge and escape.
Someone actually got there first!
"Master, what should I do?" Bai Xiao asked for instructions.
Zhou Jinyan raised his hand, and Bai Xiao immediately fell silent, put down the hand holding the sword hilt, and stopped making any gesture to rush out.
Of the two guards protecting Taifu Jian, one of them was seriously injured and could not hold a knife, and the other was unable to hold a sword with both fists. It was already difficult for him to protect Taifu Jian, and he could not stop the assassin from taking action.
At the critical moment, Zhou Jinyan took action. Before rescuing him, he told Bai Xiao to stay put and not show up.
Zhou Jinyan swung his sword, and the assassins were terrified. The one who came was evil!
After a few moves, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the assassins. The attackers' swords and winds were so powerful that they were no match for them at all!
After one of them was stabbed in the right chest by a sword, the other two assassins looked at each other, flew away with their injured companion, and disappeared into the night.
Zhou Jinyan didn't chase him, his eyes were dark, who wanted to put Taifu Jian to death?
Zhou Jinyan, who has always been thorough in his work, specially wore a dark patterned suit, which can be used as an assassin's outfit or as a night traveler.
As the scene requires, he changes his identity, and now he is the latter.
"Thank you knight for helping me."
Taifu Jian was in shock. He didn't expect that he would encounter an assassin while rushing at night. No one else knew about his decision to return to Shengjing temporarily!
Could it be that the assassin had been waiting on the roadside for a long time, knowing that he would return to Shengjing immediately after getting the news, so he waited again? If this is the case, the person behind it must be someone who understands his temperament.
Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Jian's eyebrows darkened slightly.
"The common people have met Mrs. Jian, Mrs. Jian, you don't have to be polite."
Mrs. Jian was slightly startled. Originally, he was suspicious of the man's appearance, but the other man's attitude made him feel more at ease.
"Rong Xiao, a commoner from Lu'an, Huaibei, had the honor to meet Master Jian three years ago."
"Huaibei Rong family?" Taifu Jian thought for a moment and asked.
"Exactly, the grassroots people are a branch of the Rong family."
Hearing Zhou Jinyan's answer, Mrs. Jian's eyes became less wary. The Rong family was a martial arts family, and even a branch member also had handsome kung fu.
When Sheng was on a tour to the north, the Rong family offended Sheng Yan. If he hadn't interceded, the head of the Rong family would have died. The Rong family also knew how to repay their kindness and never stopped paying homage to Jian's family during the holidays.
"Teacher Jian is going back to Shengjing? Why don't you be escorted by ordinary people?"
"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Rong." Taifu Jian accepted it calmly and thanked him again with clasped fists.
A little further on, there is a pavilion, which is much safer. There are also troops stationed on both sides of the road. Mrs. Jian, who has sprained his leg, bought a carriage at the pavilion and traveled slowly.
On the way, Taifu Jian learned that Rong Xiao had not settled in Shengjing yet, so he invited him to be a guest in his house.
The grace of saving one's life is great, but a small stay in the house is nothing in return.
Unable to resist the kindness, Zhou Jinyan agreed to go to Jian's house. He also knew in his heart that Mrs. Jian, an old fox, was still doubting himself. The timing of his appearance was too coincidental.
He was asked to go to the house to facilitate the investigation, but the matter was harmless and the other party could not find anything.
It will be much more convenient for you to live in Taifu's Mansion, whether you are investigating Taifu Jian or others.
Looking at the dim and bright sky, Zhou Jinyan touched his itchy earlobe. It was probably because someone was scolding him for breaking the appointment.
The carriage passed through the city gate and returned to the mansion. The plaque with the three characters "Tai Tu Fu" was shining brightly in the sun.
His eyes flashed across Zhou Jinyan's eyes, and there was a slight haze in his eyes. Master Jian had better bear the title of Imperial Master, otherwise...
At the same time, Jian Yu, who was sleeping soundly in the room, suddenly woke up and shuddered.
Why is it so cold suddenly?
