Chapter 127 True and False Zhan Xiong
Liang Jingyao stood up suddenly, walked nervously to Zhan Xiong, and asked, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
Zhan Xiong didn't have time to explain, so he pulled Liang Jingyao out and said, "I'm not injured, something happened in the capital! Let's talk while we walk, the horses are already prepared outside."
Liang Jingyao held his shoulder and asked carefully, "What's with the blood on your body?"
Zhan Xiong wiped his tears and said through gritted teeth, "It's Zhan Hu's! He was almost dying, but he managed to force himself to come back!"
Liang Jingyao felt more panicked than ever before and asked anxiously, "Where is he? Aren't you bringing him here to heal?"
Zhan Xiong cried out "Wow!" "Zhan Hu is gone!"
Liang Jingyao stumbled back a few steps and asked in disbelief, "Impossible! Zhan Hu's martial arts skills are not bad, how could he just disappear like that? Tell me, what exactly happened in the capital?"
Zhan Xiong wiped away his tears and said sadly, "The Gu family was attacked by ambush. If the master hadn't left Zhan Hu to protect Master Gu, I'm afraid the entire Gu family would have been wiped out!"
Liang Jingyao slapped Zhan Xiong in the face with his backhand. When his hand landed on Zhan Xiong's face, Liang Jingyao felt something different. He pulled hard and successfully tore off the assassin's mask. The assassin revealed an extremely unfamiliar face!
"Enough of the drama! Tell me! Who sent you here?" Liang Jingyao narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his other hand had already touched the sword at his waist.
The pharmacy was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Anger and disbelief filled everyone's face. Could it be that Liang Jingyao had been followed all the way? This shabby courtyard was no longer safe!
The assassin refused to tell the truth and started fighting with Liang Jingyao. "I'm here to send you to hell today. Next up is them!"
Liang Jingyao shouted, "It's still uncertain who will live and who will die! Zhan Liang, follow me!"
Zhan Liang jumped to the side of Liang Jingyao, and the two of them cooperated with each other, one in front and one behind. The assassin did not expect that there would be helpers here, and he was quickly defeated.
Liang Jingyao found that the assassin's moves were no longer flexible. He gritted his teeth and attacked the assassin fiercely. The swords collided violently, and sparks flew in the air.
Seeing that he was about to be captured alive, the assassin bit the poison in his mouth and committed suicide.
Liang Jingyao looked at the assassin who suddenly fell to the ground, leaned over to sniff his breath, and said disappointedly: "He's dead again! But he must have been sent by Emperor Liang. There can't be anyone else!"
Lin Xiaoyue suddenly remembered the two people who were running around with Prince Jingnan outside, and said worriedly: "Oh no, are Zhan Ying and Yao Jinheng in danger? Brother Liang, you should ask them to come back quickly!"
Liang Jingyao asked in confusion, "Why? I'm actually worried about the Gu family in the capital. The Gu family has been targeted by Emperor Liang for a long time. If Emperor Liang really wants to frame them this time, then the Gu family will be in real danger!"
Lin Xiaoyue analyzed, "I don't think what the assassin said just now is necessarily true. Now, Zhan Ying and Yao Jinheng are in great danger. Because they are carrying Prince Jingnan, they are the ones who attract Emperor Liang's attention the most. Just based on the frequency of Emperor Liang's assassinations in recent times, I think Emperor Liang is almost unable to bear it!"
Liang Jingyao frowned and asked, "It's no problem for Zhan Ying and Yao Jinheng to come back soon. King Jingnan, what do you think we should do? Throw them away? Or bring them back together?"
Lin Xiaoyue said without hesitation, "Zhan Ying and Yao Jinheng should abandon their vehicles and flee. This way, the Liang Emperor's men won't be sure of the truth, and it will divert their attention. Once they're sent back to the capital, given the Liang Emperor's suspicious nature, he'll definitely spend some time on this issue. Your Cheetah Army can try to enter Yangming Town during this time."
Liang Jingyao felt that the method Lin Xiaoyue mentioned was indeed feasible. He wrote a note and blew a whistle. A carrier pigeon flew in. He stuffed the note into the small tube on the pigeon's leg and released the pigeon again.
"Okay, Zhan Ying and Yao Jinheng will be back tonight. I want to go back to the capital to take a look. I can't let my heart go if I don't see with my own eyes that the Gu family and Zhan Hu are safe and sound."
Lin Xiaoyue knew that Liang Jingyao, Gu Mian, and the Silver Slash Guards had a particularly close relationship. Furthermore, if anything happened to them, it would be difficult to proceed with the remaining plans. She agreed, "Okay. But before you go to the capital, it's best to go to the teahouse and check the situation."
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "I know. Don't worry, I'll check out the teahouse and the restaurant across the street that's being renovated before I leave. Zhan Liang, you stay here to protect everyone. I'll be back before dawn!"
Zhan Liang responded, "Yes! Master, don't worry!"
After Liang Jingyao left, Lin Xiaoyue looked at the old, weak and injured people in the room. Only Zhan Liang was able to fight. She felt that she must be prepared. In case there were assassins at night, Zhan Liang alone would definitely not be able to handle it!
Lin Xiaoyue stretched her head and asked Chen Yunyun, "Yunyun, is it too late for you to make a homemade bomb now?"
Chen Yunyun nodded and said, "There's still time, and Zhanxiong left two when he took them away during the day. Sister Lin, how many do you want?"
Lin Xiaoyue calculated in her mind and said, "Zhan Liang has four hanging on his waist, and the three of us each hold one, so we need at least seven. Try to make as many as possible, as we'll need them later."
Chen Yunyun lit a new oil lamp and said, "Sister Lin, you should have a good rest. Everything is outside. I'll go and do it."
Lin Xiaoyue was worried, so she called Zhan Liang and said, "Zhan Liang, you come with us. The two of you need to move quickly."
Zhan Liang was also very curious about the homemade bomb and replied, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyue and Jiu Laoguai were the only two people left in the pharmacy. Jiu Laoguai saw that the medicine on the stove was almost ready, so he poured it into a bowl and prepared to feed it to Lin Xiaoyue.
"Girl, it's time to take your medicine. I'll feed you." The drunkard scooped a spoonful, blew on it, and then put it into Lin Xiaoyue's mouth.
When Lin Xiaoyue was eating just now, Liang Jingyao gave her a big cushion to lean against, so she was leaning on the bed now.
"Dad, I can do it myself." As she said that, she reached out to take the medicine bowl.
The drunkard shook his head distressedly and said, "How can that be? The wound hasn't scabbed over yet, you can't take anything. Let's wait and see tomorrow!"
Lin Xiaoyue had no choice but to drink the spoonful of medicine in her mouth. "Dad, my heart has been beating non-stop since Brother Liang left. Do you think anything else will happen tonight? I kind of regret letting Brother Liang go!"
The drunkard placed his hand on Lin Xiaoyue's wrist with concern. After a moment, he spoke, "There's nothing wrong with his body. Don't worry too much. A high-ranking monk had read Jingyao's fortune before, and he knew he would have great blessings in the future! Besides, Jingyao is very skilled, so he'll definitely be fine."
Lin Xiaoyue sighed, I hope so!
