Xiaohong stopped the carriage alertly and asked hurriedly, "Madam! Are you okay?"
"It's okay," Li Nian said calmly, "Continue to go home."
Li Sisi pulled out the dart nailed to the wall of the carriage and took out the note to check.
The note clearly read: "Wen Luoxin intends to harm you, be careful."
Li Sisi was puzzled: "Who is it? They don't dare to say it to our faces, so they have to remind us in this way? Also, isn't Wen Luoxin raising a son in the princess's mansion? How did we provoke her?"
She twisted the note casually: "The information on this is fake, right?"
Li Nian couldn't figure out who would do such a thing, so he said, "We just need to be careful."
She took the note and handed it over, calling out, "Xiaohong, look at this."
Xiaohong took the note and looked at it, her eyes widening. "This!! Madam, do you want us to go find the master and tell him about this now?"
"There's no rush, let's go back home first." Li Nian said.
The note did not specify the time and place. Xiao Yunyu was recently meeting the leader of the horse caravan in the south, and he didn't know which restaurant he was in at the moment, so it would be better for him to go home first.
Xiaohong responded and continued to drive the carriage towards Marquis Xiao's mansion.
The capital's prison is in the north of the city, and to return home one has to cross most of the city's streets.
Arriving at the south street entrance, most of the houses here are owned by wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials. The road is wide and there are not many pedestrians on the road, only occasionally you can see people passing by.
Suddenly, their carriage turned a corner, and "Swish-swish-swish" several arrows with murderous intent shot towards the carriage accurately.
"Madam, be careful!" Xiaohong shouted and immediately turned the carriage around.
However, as soon as the carriage turned around, it was blocked by a group of men in black who fell from the sky.
Xiao Hong shouted sternly: "Who are you to dare to be in the capital..."
Before she could finish her words, the man in black rushed over with a knife in hand, not giving them any chance to react.
Li Sisi's expression changed, and she rushed out of the carriage, drew her sword and joined the battle.
Li Nian also quickly exchanged his kung fu to help.
There are men in black in front with murderous intent, and hidden arrows are shot from behind from time to time to hurt people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaohong shouted, "Madam, you go first!"
Sisi also shouted loudly: "Niannian, go back to the mansion and call for help first. Xiaohong and I will handle this."
"Let's go together!" Li Nian was determined. This place was still some distance away from Marquis Xiao's Mansion, and it would be too late for her to find someone to come back.
There were only three of them, and not only did they have to fight the men in black, but they also had to guard against hidden arrows. They were like trapped beasts, unable to escape.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish--" Several more hidden arrows flew over, and one of them hit Xiaohong's arm.
Xiaohong groaned, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a ding.
Seeing this, Li Sisi hurriedly flew close to Xiaohong to help block the hidden arrow.
If this continues, it might be difficult for the three of them to escape. As Li Nian was thinking about it, suddenly a man came galloping towards them on horseback.
He swung the long sword in his hand with great force, and his murderous aura was unstoppable.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black immediately fled, and the person who shot the arrow in the dark disappeared without a trace.
Li Sisi hurriedly supported Xiaohong and checked his injuries, saying worriedly, "Let's go, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Li Nian looked at the man who suddenly appeared and found that he was an acquaintance.
Sima Shaoyu was dressed in a green brocade robe, exuding a fierce aura, with facial features as hard and cold as sculptures.
He walked forward, his attitude polite and courteous: "Madam, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that our meeting would be like this."
Li Nian bowed slightly and said politely, "Thank you, Third Prince, for your help."
Sima Shaoyu stared at her with his sharp eagle eyes, a faint smile on his lips: "Madam, you are too polite. If it weren't for Madam Zi who saved my life, I would have died in a foreign land."
Li Nian nodded: "That's perfect, we're even now."
Sima Shaoyu was slightly startled when he heard her calm attitude of accepting and naturally distancing herself from the matter, and a smile flashed in his black eyes.
He said seriously, "How can we even it out? The Crown Prince's wife saved my life twice, so logically, I should owe her one."
He took out a jade pendant and placed it before Yili, speaking sincerely, "This jade pendant is a relic of my mother's. To thank you for saving my life twice, I'm giving it to you as a token of my gratitude. If you need any help in the future, please bring this to me. I will definitely fulfill my promise and help you with all my strength."
Li Nian listened to his words and immediately became suspicious.
I clearly used the system's amnesia spray the last time I helped him, so logically he wouldn't remember that incident.
Li Nian frowned slightly, and New China suddenly became defensive.
This person's purpose is unclear. If he is determined to get entangled and avoid me, I will not be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Li Nian took the jade pendant from his hand. "Thank you very much."
Anyway, it’s a promise that comes to your door, so why not refuse it? You might actually need it someday.
When Sima Shaoyu saw him accept his jade pendant, the smile on his stern face deepened. "I wonder if Madam would do me the honor of treating you two benefactors to a simple meal."
"No need. We have something important to do. Sorry, we can't keep you company." Li Nian bowed slightly to her.
At this time, Xiaohong had already sat in the carriage, and Li Sisi was helping him with a simple bandage.
Li Nian got into the carriage.
Li Sisi stepped out of the carriage, grabbed the reins and prepared to drive the carriage.
She found Sima Shaoyu still standing there, looking at her, so she waved to him and said, "Third Prince, goodbye."
"Gee--" Li Sisi drove the carriage hurriedly towards the city to find a doctor.
Sima Shaoyu looked at the carriage moving further and further away, his eyes showing more interest.
The two ladies in Marquis Xiao's mansion are not simple. If the second lady learned kung fu when she was in the northwest, then the first lady has never practiced martial arts. But it is obvious that she has great kung fu skills from what we saw today.
At this moment, the man in black approached quietly: "Master!"
Sima Shaoyu ordered in a cold voice: "Evacuate carefully and do not leave any traces."
"Yes!" The man in black retreated.
Li Sisi drove the carriage at full speed all the way and soon arrived at the door of the nearest clinic.
Although Xiaohong was hit by an arrow in the hand, he looked in good spirits. He supported himself with his arm and jumped out of the carriage alone, then followed Li Sisi and Li Nian into the clinic.
After the doctor removed the arrow, he applied medicine and said, "Fortunately, there is nothing serious. Young Master is in very good health. I will prescribe some medicine. You can go back and recuperate for a few days."
Li Sisi hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, doctor."
After Li Nian paid the money and left, Xiaohong and Li Sisi had already boarded the carriage.
"Are we going home again?" Li Sisi asked.
Li Nian nodded: "Go home."
Hearing this, Li Sisi continued to drive the carriage back home.
Thinking of the gang of black-clad men who were so bold as to carry out assassinations in the capital today, Li Sisi gritted her teeth in anger.
Regardless of whether the people who assassinated them today were arranged by Wen Luoxin, this matter cannot be let go like this!
