Chapter 179 Assassin

Wherever it passed, it brought a fragrant breeze.

The soldiers were all stunned and could not react for a while.

Song Yanxi's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Xu Xiao, who was sitting in the crowd drinking and eating meat with big gulps, feeling a little surprised.

General Xu, as described by my grandfather and aunt, was an upright man who was not interested in women. His only hobby in life was a sip of good wine.

Even though seeing is believing, no matter how General Xu looked at it, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would invite a singing girl to entertain him.

Could it be that...

Meeting Song Yanxi's indescribable gaze, Mo Jinchuan asked with a half-smile, "General Xu isn't that kind of person. Could it be that this king is?"

Song Yanxi's thoughts were exposed, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face. Just as she was about to explain, she caught a glimpse of a charming woman walking towards her with her slender waist twisting.

She had a bell tied around her waist, and the crisp sound of the bell rang with every step she took, and the clear sound was particularly pleasant to the ears.

As she approached, Song Yanxi smelled a strange fragrance and became alert instantly.

The dancer wore a silver bead necklace on her face, which made her facial features more delicate, and her eyes were charming, making her look like a seductive fairy.

Not to mention the men present, even Song Yanxi felt a little overwhelmed when she saw it.

She carefully identified it and was relieved after confirming that the fragrance was non-toxic.

Seeing that the dancer seemed to be moving closer to Mo Jinchuan, Song Yanxi consciously moved to the side.

Glancing at her movements, Mo Jinchuan's eyes flashed with displeasure. He raised his eyes to look at the smiling dancer and asked, "What's the matter?"

The dancer smiled and said, "My name is Hongxiang, and I am from Hongsha City. I have come here today to express my gratitude to the prince for saving my life on behalf of the elders and fellow villagers of Hongsha City."

As she spoke, her body softened and she knelt down, tears streaming down her eyes. She cried so hard that her eyes were filled with pity.

Everyone below looked at each other, completely confused.

Just thank me if you want to, why are you crying?

The other dancers had not anticipated this and were distracted for a moment, even messing up the choreographed dance they had arranged in advance.

Someone suddenly shouted "What a mess this is!", which scared the dancers who were already at a loss what to do and made them dance even more chaotically. Some of the timid ones even stood there and started crying.

"It's such a nice day, why are you crying? It's so unlucky!"

"These two guys dared to come out and dance, and they couldn't even dance as well as me. Who hired them? They didn't even bother to spend a little more money to find some better ones."

"Why are you looking at me? Our prince and general don't like this kind of thing. Who has the time to do this?"

Everyone looked at each other, stunned.

Cheng Duan laughed out loud, took a sip of wine and said, "You know what, the brothers in Border Town are all quite modest. They are much better than those guys in the capital who brag about the smallest things they do."

"General Cheng, please stop teasing us brothers. This really wasn't our doing."

"In all these years, when has there ever been a woman in the General's Mansion? The Prince and the General don't like this kind of thing, so who would rush to cause trouble for no reason?"

"Do you think this is the work of General Xiao Qiu?"

"Come on, last night, he and some of his brothers were drinking and sparring with General Lin. They lost control of their hands and one of them got hit ten times on the buttocks and is now lying on the bed."

"It really wasn't you guys who did it?" Cheng Duan smacked his lips, feeling something was not right.

He quickly put down the wine bowl and stood up. Just as he was about to remind Mo Jinchuan to be careful, he saw the dancer who was kneeling weakly a second ago suddenly jump up, pull out the golden hairpin on her head and stab forward fiercely.

"Die!"

"My Lord, be careful!"

Song Yanxi's face suddenly turned pale, and she threw the chopsticks in her hand without thinking.

At the same time, a black shadow flashed among the crowd, and the dancer who attempted to assassinate was kicked out by An Yi.

The other soldiers also stood up and held down the remaining dancers who were frightened and had no time to react.

For a moment, there was a chorus of wailing and cries of injustice from below.

The dancer who was kicked away tilted her head and vomited a mouthful of blood. She stared at Mo Jinchuan with her eyes fixed and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you still remember the woman from Liang State outside Hongsha City?"

Without waiting for Mo Jinchuan to answer, she coughed twice and said, "Of course you don't remember. Over the years, there must be at least eight hundred Liang people who died at your hands. Aren't you afraid that they will come to claim your life when you wake up in the middle of the night?"

As she spoke, she tilted her head and vomited another mouthful of black blood.

Song Yanxi stood up, took a quick look and said, "She took poison."

Xu Xiao's expression darkened immediately, and he said, "Where's the military doctor? Don't let her die like this."

How dare you assassinate them at the welcoming banquet at the general's mansion? Do you really think all of them are dead?

Even if you want to die, you have to see if they agree!

Doctor Liu rushed over, took a look, and shook his head without even putting down the wine bowl in his hand.

Without waiting for Xu Xiao to ask, he said, "If she could be saved, Princess Yong'an would have already taken action."

Someone exclaimed: "Her medical skills are so amazing?"

Doctor Liu smiled, looked at the two people sitting motionless beside him, and asked, "Does Princess Shihan have any advice?"

In the past, when other doctors were helpless in such cases, there would be no need for anyone to call Zhuang Shihan, she would just come over after smelling the smell.

She was naturally happy to do this, as it would not only show off her medical skills, but also give a slap in the face to those who looked down on her.

The worst case scenario is that I will be incurable just like everyone else, and everyone will laugh at me.

But today, Zhuang Shihan seemed to be stuck on the bench. Even when she heard what Liu Junyi said, she just said coldly: "I won't go over to join in the fun of the poison that none of you can cure."

This is not right. It's absolutely not right.

Lin Tingfeng's plan failed and he was in a very bad mood. Those who didn't know thought that he was the one who was assassinated.

Paying attention to the reactions of the two, Song Yanxi understood Mo Jinchuan's expression and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, please be careful. There may be a follow-up plan."

The dancer, poisoned to the bone, stared at them intently, then suddenly laughed, and a "ho ho" sound came out of her throat, as if she had something else to say.

Mo Jinchuan gave An Yi a look, and he immediately stepped forward and said sternly, "If you give out the people who conspired with you, the prince can even give you an intact corpse."

Upon hearing this, the dancer laughed even more happily, spitting out mouthfuls of black blood.

Everyone's attention was drawn to her for a moment, and they didn't notice that a hand slowly stretched out from behind a pillar not far away, holding a crossbow.

The moment the arrow was shot, Mo Jinchuan caught a glimpse of cold light and stretched out his hand towards Song Yanxi almost without hesitation, while using his other hand to circulate his internal energy to turn the wheelchair.

Song Yanxi was pulled fiercely into his arms, and her right ear hit his chest heavily. There was a "pop" sound as if a sharp weapon pierced the flesh, and then there was a buzzing sound in her ears.

She heard someone shouting, "The prince has been assassinated!"
