Chapter 124 Assassination
At night,
the county magistrate dragged his tired body back to the mansion and saw the letter written by Pei Xuan.
His slightly fat body trembled, and the paper in his hand was crumpled.
"Tang Yi!!! Get out of here!" The county magistrate roared with anger.
Tang Yi ran out and knelt on the ground, "Dad, I was wrong."
"You were wrong? You are ridiculously wrong! Do you know who you are teasing?" The county magistrate was shaking like a sieve, and the county magistrate's wife also surrounded him curiously.
"My daughter doesn't know..." Tang Yi lowered his head. Anyone who can be with the national teacher must be an important person.
"He is the Regent! I will beat you to death, you unfilial daughter! If you dare to go out and cause trouble again, I will beat you to death!" The
county magistrate angrily picked up a branch from the side and hit Tang Yi. Tang Yi was already dumbfounded. Why would the Regent come to such a place where birds don't shit?
Seeing that the branch was about to hit Tang Yi, the little maid next to him rushed up to block Tang Yi: "Sir, the young lady has realized her mistake, please calm down."
"Calm down? You almost killed our whole family!" The county magistrate's eyes were red, and he sent someone to pull the maid away.
"Teach her a lesson, otherwise she will be lawless." The county magistrate's wife didn't expect that her daughter would offend a big shot. Fortunately, they didn't come to trouble them.
What she didn't know was that the county magistrate had already met with the two of them. Fortunately, he helped Pei Muan with the adoption, otherwise they would all be finished.
The chaos in the county magistrate's mansion and the quietness of the inn formed a sharp contrast.
Pei Muan, who was already fast asleep, lay on the bed, his face flushed, and he looked very tired from playing and sleeping soundly.
Xie Anci had also finished his bath, rubbed Pei Muan's head and lay down beside him.
Because Pei Muan was there, they also moved to a room with a bigger bed.
Usually, Pei Muan slept between Xie Anci and Pei Xuan.
The flickering candlelight illuminated Pei Xuan's handsome face. Xie Anci looked over and said, "It's too late. Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Let's go to sleep now. I plan to write a letter to Pei Lin tomorrow and ask him to take care of Mu'an. I wonder if he can do it?" Pei Xuan was a little worried and pinched his brows.
"He can't handle it alone, so just hire a wet nurse." Xie Anci thought it was no problem. In the folks, some people as old as Pei Lin are already fathers.
"That's right." Pei Xuan nodded.
I wonder how Pei Lin is doing alone in the palace?
The huge Xingyan Palace must be very lonely.
"Go to sleep..." Pei Xuan got up, took off his clothes and lay down on the other side.
Pei Mu'an was between the two of them, so they had to close their eyes and go to sleep.
The night gradually darkened, and everything was silent.
The window of the room where Xie Anci was sleeping was blown open by the wind, and groups of psionic butterflies swarmed in.
A girl landed lightly in front of Xie Anci's bed, and several men and women in black could be vaguely seen outside.
They all had murderous eyes and watched everything in the room quietly.
Lingling pulled out a dagger, and the cold light of her closed eyes awakened Pei Muan in the middle.
"Wow..." A cry broke through the sky, and Xie Anci and Pei Xuan woke up suddenly.
"Tsk." The girl smacked her lips, and the dagger in her hand stabbed Xie Anci with all her strength.
Xie Anci hurriedly grabbed her wrist, and then he realized that this woman was actually the one who escaped in the underground palace at that time.
"Who are you?" Xie Anci said coldly.
"The one who wants to kill you!" The girl sneered, "What are you still standing there for? Attack!"
The girl gave an order, and the people outside the house fell down like fallen leaves.
They drew their weapons and attacked the two people on the bed.
At the same time, the door was kicked open with a "bang".
Li Jinchen and Gu Lingyu also joined the melee.
