Chapter 626 The Crown Prince is Assassinated
"Yes, Jiashui City is in a state of disrepair now, but it will definitely get better in the future." Xiao Jiuyue believed that Jun Lie would not ignore it. After reaching a reconciliation with the Xijiang people and the two countries began to trade, life would get better and better!
"With the prince and princess here, everything will get better and better no matter where we are!" Luo Kui said with a smile. She had witnessed with her own eyes how Fu'an Village changed from a poor village to what it is now, where every household has a new house!
The memorial archway in Fu'an Village is getting bigger and bigger. Shi Lizheng used to be worried because the population of Fu'an Village is getting smaller and smaller. The girls in the village all want to marry out and are unwilling to stay in Fu'an Village!
The young men in the village were even more so. They were forced to work as farmhands outside. There was no other way. They couldn't even support their families with just the one and a half mu of land they had!
It would be fine if the fields were all fertile land, but if they were not, the grain tax would not be enough for a family to eat in a year, and they would have to buy food!
But in the past few years, the young men in the village no longer go out, and the girls no longer marry outside the village. The population of the village is growing, and there is not only enough food to eat, but also enough to sell, and every household has a new house.
"If all the people in the world could live a good life and work in peace and contentment like the people in Fu'an Village, what a wonderful picture that would be." Xiao Jiuyue thought, this should be the world of great harmony, right?
"Princess, if this could really come true, what a wonderful life we would have." Luo Kui's eyes widened when she heard this, thinking about how her family couldn't afford to eat when she was a child, so they sold her sister, and then it was her turn!
If it is really such a good life as the princess said, then she won't have to worry about other people's faces since she was a child and can grow up in front of her parents?
"Take it slow, starting from Fu'an Village. Aren't Lancang County and Hongdu getting better and better now?" Xiao Jiuyue believed that as long as she was still in South Vietnam, she could achieve it!
"Princess, it's bad, the prince has been attacked!"
A servant hurried over. Xiao Jiuyue turned pale when she heard this. She hurried out, but after taking two steps, she couldn't run because of her big belly. Dong Gui grabbed her and said, "Princess, don't worry. The prince has guards around him. He will be fine!"
Donggui was a little worried about Xiao Jiuyue. She was pregnant now, and if she really went there, she would probably have to take care of her.
"You're right, Donggui, please go for me and save my elder brother." Xiao Jiuyue slowly calmed down. She was in the late stage of pregnancy now. If she ran over anxiously, not only would she not be able to help, but she would make her elder brother worry about her.
"Princess, don't worry, the prince will be fine."
Luo Kui accompanied Xiao Jiuyue, giving her tea. She looked at Guo Sheng who had appeared beside her and asked, "Guo Sheng, quickly send someone to ask. The person who reported the news didn't tell the whole story."
"I've already sent someone to inquire." Guo Sheng replied, "Princess, there will be news soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Sheng suddenly rushed towards Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Princess, be careful."
With a "swoosh" sound, the sound of the arrow cutting through the air made Xiao Jiuyue's pupils shrink slightly. This, this was coming towards her.
"princess!"
Luo Kui turned pale with fright and opened his hands to block Xiao Jiuyue.
Guo Sheng was too late and watched helplessly as the arrow hit Luo Kui's shoulder and blood splattered.
Seeing that the first arrow missed, the second arrow came again, fearing that it was intended to kill Xiao Jiuyue. Guo Sheng quickly drew his sword, blocked the arrow, and turned around and said, "Come into the house quickly."
"There is an assassin." Guo Sheng shouted loudly.
"Luo Kui." Xiao Jiuyue supported Luo Kui and retreated into the house step by step under the protection of Guo Sheng. She looked at the arrow on Luo Kui's shoulder, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.
"Princess, come in quickly!" Luo Kui's face was pale, but she still looked at Xiao Jiuyue worriedly. She followed Xiao Jiuyue into the house, closed the door, and said, "Princess, please don't go out!"
The sound of fighting was heard outside, and Luo Kui's eyes were filled with worry. What if something happened to the princess?
What if the enemy attacks?
"Luo Kui, let me bandage the wound." Xiao Jiuyue quickly picked up the medicine beside her and began to bandage Luo Kui, saying, "It will be a little painful when the arrow is pulled out."
"Princess, don't worry about me. When you get the chance, just leave." Luo Kui's face was pale. She wanted to push Xiao Jiuyue away, but how could Xiao Jiuyue leave?
Xiao Jiuyue squatted down and carefully checked the arrow to see if it had a barb and was poisonous. She said, "Fortunately, it's not poisonous and there are no barbs."
"Bear with it." Xiao Jiuyue said, and drew his sword quickly, biting Luo Kui's lips in pain.
"It will be fine in a moment, just bear with it."
Xiao Jiuyue quickened her movements, simply cleaning the wound, bandaging it, and then bandaging her with gauze. After a set of movements, Xiao Jiuyue looked at Luo Kui, who looked like she had just been fished out of the water, and said, "Here, have some candy!"
The sweet candy was put into Luokui's mouth. Luokui smiled and said, "It still tastes like orange!"
"You rest here for a while." Xiao Jiuyue quietly looked at the movements outside. Fortunately, there were many guards here, so there was no need to worry too much. Guo Sheng led the secret guards to kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor!
fire.
Thick smoke billowed in. Xiao Jiuyue frowned and said, "They're trying to kill us."
"Hurry, go to the basement." Xiao Jiuyue helped Luo Kui up. Luo Kui looked at the prince lying on the bed and said, "Prince, help him first."
"Princess, we need to get to the basement quickly."
Guo Shen came in covered in blood, opened the secret passage, carried the prince on his back, and went down to the basement. He said, "They must be the Prince of Xijiang's men. They are desperate to kill us. They even burned everything around us."
"Let everyone go into the secret passage, life is at stake." Xiao Jiuyue covered his nose and entered the secret passage. Fortunately, he had lived here for a long time, and the secret guards were used to digging secret passages as basements. Otherwise, it would be too late to even run away.
"Princess, follow the prince here first. I'll go up and take a look." Guo Sheng thought, the enemy came here so recklessly. If they all left like this, it would probably arouse the other side's suspicion.
No matter what, we have to wait until reinforcements arrive!
"I'll go with you." Luo Kui covered her shoulder and chased after him. At this moment, her mind seemed to be a lot clearer.
It is dangerous for the prince and princess to hide here. If there is no one up there, will it still be safe?
"No, Luokui, you are still injured." Xiao Jiuyue anxiously supported the unconscious Jun Lie while looking at Luokui worriedly.
"Princess, you have bandaged me. It's okay. I'm just pretending!" Luo Kui grinned, then grabbed Guo Sheng's hand and went out of the secret passage again.
He closed the secret passage tightly and wet the mattress with water so that no smoke could get through. Luo Kui put on the princess's fox fur cloak and said, "Guo Sheng, hurry up."
"Don't worry, I won't let you die." Guo Sheng supported Luo Kui and started acting.
