Chapter 566 You Should Let Go and Let Them Protect You
Song Jiuli, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sound of swords outside. She hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"What's going on?"
"There's an assassin."
Qiu Yan's duty was to protect Jiang Wan. She held a sword in her hand and stood outside the carriage.
In addition, Song Jiuyuan also sent several people to protect them.
Mrs. Song was panicking, "These people are just endless."
"Don't be afraid, ma'am."
Song Qing was worried about them, so he also stood guard outside the carriage. For a while, the assassins were unable to get close to them.
Jiang Wan frowned and was about to stand up when she was stopped by Madam Song.
"Wanwan, I know you're powerful, but I believe Yuan'er and the others can handle it.
You don't have to cover everything for them, sometimes you should let go and let them protect you."
Her words made Jiang Wan shudder. Indeed, who would want to have blood on their hands?
So Jiang Wan glanced outside, and seeing that Song Jiuyuan could handle it perfectly, she did not go out.
But Chao En's screams could be heard from outside from time to time. Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and shouted deliberately.
"Hurry, help!"
Seeing this, Song Jiuli and Madam Song also started shouting in panic.
Half a minute later, Song Jiuyuan felt refreshed and smelled of blood.
"Wanwan, how are you guys?"
"I'm fine."
Jiang Wan leaned over and saw that the assassins had been dealt with, with a few left alive. Song Yi dragged them away for interrogation.
What surprised Jiang Wan was that there were many Jinyiwei brought by Chao En lying on the ground.
Chao En raised his fingertips and pinched the handkerchief to cover his lips, his shrill voice sounded a little harsh.
"Oh my god, what is going on?"
"Father-in-law."
The man who was supporting Chao En seemed to be the leader of the Jinyiwei, Wei Qi. He looked at the corpse on the ground with a grim face and muttered to himself.
"I'm the only one left."
Jiang Wan: ...
She cast a meaningful look at Song Jiuyuan. That was good. Weakening the people around Chao En, now let's see how he can still jump around.
"What's going on?"
Chao En walked so quickly that he almost tripped over the corpse on the ground. He looked at Song Jiuyuan.
"Your Majesty, none of your people suffered any loss. It was our people who suffered the loss. This is really unacceptable."
"This is not the king's fault."
Song Jiuyuan said seriously, “My men are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield.
They knew how to save their lives, but they also suffered a lot of injuries.”
The soldiers not far away were simply healing their wounds, and his words choked Chao En.
"Impossible, it can't be such a coincidence, you must have done it on purpose!"
Wei Qi glanced at Song Jiuyuan with resentment and stared at his brothers on the ground with pain.
"Don't spit blood at me."
Jiang Wan understood Song Jiuyuan's character. After all, he was from Dafeng, and he would not deliberately let his people harm these Jinyiwei.
At most, they were not protected and were left to be slaughtered by the assassins.
"You should have seen them fighting with your own eyes just now. They were indeed very brave. They all sacrificed their lives to protect the two of you."
Song Jiuyuan's words came from the bottom of his heart. He just used a little trick to make people mistakenly believe that the person sitting in Chaoen's carriage was a member of his Song family.
Then he stood not far from Chao En's carriage to fight the enemy, instantly attracting the assassin's firepower.
Wei Qi wanted to say something else, but Chao En held back and gently pulled Wei Qi.
"Wei Qi, calm down."
"Father-in-law!"
Wei Qi's eyes turned red, "They..."
"We understand your feelings, but we have to return to Beijing as soon as possible. We can't miss the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
Chao En winked at Wei Qi frantically. Now there were only two of them left.
If Wei Qi makes trouble again and is eliminated by Song Jiuyuan, he will be left alone to fight.
It was at this time that Wei Qi reacted. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said:
"It was because I was too lax in my training that they lost their lives."
His hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and he was obviously resentful of Song Jiuyuan.
There were so many people who hated him, but Song Jiuyuan said to everyone as if he didn't see them:
"The smell of blood is too strong here, let's go further away and rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone agreed, and at this time Song Jiuchi, who was chasing them, caught up with them.
"What's going on? Someone's here to cause trouble again?"
He turned over and dismounted, wrinkling his nose in disgust. Jiang Wan replied:
"Don't worry, your brother has already taken care of it."
"How was the interrogation over there?"
Song Jiuyuan left Song Jiuchi to deal with those big men. Song Jiuchi happened to be bidding farewell to Qi Chu, so he was a little late.
Speaking of those trouble-making men, Song Jiuchi's face was filled with anger, "I found out!
It was Prefect Jiang who had nothing better to do and deliberately threw dirty water on me. I brought the evidence with me."
"Is it Magistrate Jiang?"
Chao En glanced at Jiang Wan in surprise. He seemed to remember that Magistrate Jiang was Jiang Wan's cousin.
It seems that the internal strife within the Jiang family is more intense than he imagined.
"Yes, that bastard!"
Song Jiuchi said indignantly, "When we return to Kyoto, I will trouble you to tell the truth to His Majesty.
Since this prefect Jiang came, he has done nothing for the people and has been staying in his house all day pretending to be sick. "
"puff……"
Jiang Wan sneered inwardly, thinking that Song Jiuchi’s operation was good.
Jiang Wei had indeed been claiming to be sick, but the emperor was far away and he couldn't go and check it himself.
Chao En's expression froze, and he said vaguely, "I will tell His Majesty everything when I return to Kyoto.
But our family cannot interfere with His Majesty's decision, everything depends on His Majesty's will."
The implication is that he will tell the truth, but he has no control over whether the emperor listens or not.
Jiang Wan knew what Chao En meant. After all, only they knew what he said when he reported to the emperor alone.
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Please get on the carriage and take a rest first."
Song Qing could see that Chaoen's patience was almost at its limit, so he interrupted them.
Upon hearing this, Chao En hurriedly climbed onto the carriage, and Wei Qi drove the carriage forward.
Song Jiuchi couldn't help but sneered, "Don't regret it later if you don't want to stand on the same team with us."
"Jiuchi, be careful with your words!"
Song Qing sternly lectured him, "Be more careful with your words when you return to Kyoto. Our Song family has long been a thorn in the eyes of many people."
"I know, Dad."
Song Jiuchi was not stupid. The people in front of him were all his own people, so he just muttered a few words casually.
Song Qing said to Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan, "Yuan'er, you guys go ahead and leave this to me."
"No, Song Yi will handle it. Mom might be frightened. You stay with her."
Song Jiuyuan understood his mother's temper. Seeing that Song Yi and the others handled the situation well, Song Qing did not insist any longer.
So Jiang Wan left the space to them and got on another carriage alone.
Song Jiuyuan followed her and sat on the chair, "Wanwan, although Chaoen was sent by the emperor.
But the old emperor is old, and he may be involved with several princes, so be more careful about him."
"rest assured."
Jiang Wan wrinkled her nose slightly, "What a strong smell of blood, are you hurt?"
