Everyone seems to be looking forward to Master Yimu's amulet.
Although Shen Ning wanted to go back immediately, she held back when she thought of the monk and the Taoist priest in the Red Mansion.
The two bodies were quickly dragged away, and the blood on the ground was wiped clean by the servants.
Shen Ning tried not to look and went outside with Jia Min to get some fresh air.
"Sister-in-law! Let's take a car together when we go back later!"
Jia Min said it as if unintentionally.
But who is Shen Ning? "Worried about me?"
She smiled, "That's not necessary. The targets of those two people are probably the cousins."
She just sat a little closer to her.
"……I know."
Jia Min nodded, "Those two people came because of cousin Ding. But I don't know why, I feel uneasy today."
I always feel like something's going to happen.
And in their family... the eldest sister-in-law is more likely to get into trouble.
The thief that day did alarm Shuntian Prefecture and Prince Jin's Palace for several days.
Although my sister-in-law never told them the details, they could imagine it.
Jia Min knew how difficult it was for the master to hold the position of Salt Inspector in Jiangnan.
Although he always reported good news but not bad news, he was so worried that he didn't even dare to let her go home during the New Year. He just let her live with the children in her parents' home. He knew that he must have encountered an assassination attempt there.
It could even be poisoning.
"Sister-in-law, just follow me. If anything happens, we can take care of each other."
"rest assured!"
Shen Ning felt her sincerity and was very relieved, but she really couldn't be with Jia Min.
How would Daiyu grow up without Jia Min?
Although she saved Lin Chang'an, it is still unknown whether a child without parental protection can grow up.
Shen Ning said, "Ever since Zhen'er was stabbed, all the carriages in the mansion have been improved."
She couldn't let Jia Min get involved.
“And didn’t you see Wen Peilan’s skills?”
Shen Ning winked at Jia Min who was trying to persuade her again, "If something really happens, she can still protect me."
She regretted not keeping her rifle with her when she was eating just now.
But now…
Shen Ning tightened her cloak, "But you guys..."
Although the old lady has a high status, she has long since stopped caring about things, and no one would risk assassinating her.
The same goes for Xing. Jia She only holds an empty title, and she is the second wife, so no one will waste time on her.
There is also Wang Xifeng. Jia Lian is in a good momentum, but he is in the Armory, and anyone with a little bit of brains will not easily touch his wife.
So among the Jia family, apart from her, Jia Min is the most dangerous.
"When you go back, you can ride in the same car with the old lady!"
This? Jia Min's heartbeat accelerated, "Okay!"
At this moment, she finally realized her danger.
Can't wait to go home!
But the relationship between the Jia family and the Shi family is there, and the other guests have not left yet. It would be too embarrassing if they left earlier.
Jia Min held on and watched the carriages leave one after another.
Shen Ning didn't care too much.
A thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Come if you want! The road to the Plum Garden, although not entirely an official road, is wide and smooth, and there are no ravines or cliffs around.
Influenced by film and television dramas, she paid special attention to this point.
Finally, the other guests left and it was their turn.
"Don't take today's events too seriously."
Grandmother Jia was extremely proud of her nephew for being awarded the title of Marquis of Zhongjing by his own ability. "If those people dare to make trouble here, the emperor will only value you more."
“Hey~”
Shi Ding smiled and nodded, "It's cold. I'd like to ask my nephew to tell my aunt and cousins not to go back. The emperor has just awarded me a farm not far from here. How about..."
"Aunt knows your feelings."
Grandmother Jia patted her nephew's hand and said, "But your eldest cousin's wife has Xiao Yue'er at home. She wants to see her mother at night. We are all here in the West Mansion, and Feng girl is the head of the family. She can't stay overnight."
The eldest wife is not at home, and she is not at home either. What if Zheng'er runs away...
Grandmother Jia was also eager to return home.
Although she had asked Lin Zhixiao to look after Lixiangyuan today, her second son had been messing around recently and she was really worried.
"yes!"
When Zhong was about to persuade her, Shen Ning smiled and said, "It's not like you can't come again in the future. We are a family and we have plenty of time."
"Okay, you guys are tired after a day."
Jia She drank a little too much. "Don't worry about us. Go to bed early."
As he said this, he turned to Wang Xifeng, "You and the old lady will ride in the same car later." He didn't want to ride alone, so he urged his daughter-in-law to go to his mother's place.
"I'll sit with mom too."
Jia Min said, "Cousin, you guys go back, we're leaving." As she spoke, she helped the old lady get into the car, "Feng girl, get in."
“Hey~”
Wang Xifeng hurried to follow.
Shen Ning smiled and waved to Shi Ding and the others, "It's not too far, let's go back!"
"Wait a minute, isn't Jane going to take the car?"
Shi Ding was able to have such a smooth journey in the border town thanks to Jia Zhen. Seeing that he was about to ride a horse, he couldn't help but ask one more question.
"I didn't drink much."
Jia Zhen smiled and climbed onto the horse. "I've been at home all day, and it's rare to have a chance to ride a horse. Of course I'll ride a horse."
Sit high and see far.
If anything happens, he will know it first.
Jia Zhen didn't want to be like his mother anymore, waiting for others to report when something happened.
The convoy went farther and farther away. Behind Shen Ning's carriage, there were four palace guards on horseback, and in front, there were four more among the servants.
As for those who were pretending to be pedestrians on the road, there were still six of them.
Seeing them catch up with the convoy one after another, Jia Zhen and Shen Ning both breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like they were too nervous.
Seeing that they were on the official road and only ten miles away from the city, Shen Ning completely relaxed and leaned against the car.
But at this moment, a voice full of surprise rang out.
"Is it from Master Zhen of Ningguo Mansion?"
The Taoist boy on the donkey cart had seen Jia Zhen, and when he saw him, he shouted, "Master Zhen, something bad has happened. Your father has suddenly fallen ill and has a high fever. Please go and see him!"
What? Jia Zhen was shocked. "When did it happen?"
"He had a fever the day before yesterday, but Master Jia said it was nothing and that he would be fine after taking a few doses of medicine. But who knew that the more he drank, the worse his condition became. That's why I followed Master's order and went down the mountain to invite Doctor Bai."
Shen Ning lifted the car curtain and looked out.
Doctor Bai was also lifting the curtain of the carriage.
They looked at each other and nodded.
Shen Ning has this doctor in her memory.
Originally, she lived in a villa outside the Taoist temple, and it was this old doctor Bai who took care of her health.
"Mother!"
Jia Zhen was a little anxious, "I will accompany Doctor Bai to the mountain to visit my father."
“…Go ahead!”
Shen Ning said: "Bring a few more people."
Jia Mu and Jia She and others in front also sent people over to inquire.
Knowing that Jia Jing had a fever, they were all a little anxious.
"I...I'll stay with Zhen'er."
Jia She came and said, "We just happened to have an extra carriage. Doctor Bai, please get in our carriage."
"Please, Dr. Bai!"
Shen Ning also said, "It's faster to take a carriage, but Hedi, you don't have to go to the Taoist temple. It's cold and you've been drinking. It would be bad if you get cold."
"Sister-in-law~"
"No need to say more, it's settled."
The palace guards acted quickly, quickly pulling Jia She's carriage over and selecting eight people to follow Jia Zhen to Taixuan Temple.
From afar, the man in black who was staring at the convoy was still waiting silently.
"Boss," the man in black who had taken back the telescope said, "Is Jia Jing really sick at Taixuan Temple?"
"…Why do you care so much?"
Their target is the Shen family.
As for Jia Jing...
He suspected it was Team Nineteen's mission.
Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion is not a concern.
However, the couple Jia Jing and Shen are very difficult to deal with.
Although Jia Jing could no longer enter the court, as long as he was there, he would be the Jia family's support.
The prince had always been resentful of him for helping the prince.
now……
"Watch out, separate their convoy."
On the official road, an ox cart was pulling a full load of firewood. One horse-drawn carriage after another passed by. Seeing that Shen Ning's carriage was about to pass by, the old ox was suddenly whipped by someone. With a "moo", it ran to the middle of the road. At the same time, the firewood and a bundle of firewood on the cart all fell apart and fell to the ground with a "clatter".
"Oh~"
The palace guard who was driving the carriage hurriedly pulled the horse and asked, "What's going on?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
The man driving the cart said sorry, but a fire starter was thrown from a distance, and when it hit the ground with a "bang", the firewood and straw soaked in oil suddenly caught fire.
Hiss~Here it comes.
The guards hurriedly tried to pull the horse back, but at this moment, an arrow shot from the front left and hit the horse's neck directly.
The horse was frightened and in pain, and without caring about anything else, it ran towards the path at the side.
There was a big fire ahead, so it naturally chose the small path.
The palace guards tried desperately to hold it back, but the arrows were flying fast and sharply, all coming towards them.
He was accidentally hit on the shoulder by an arrow. As soon as he loosened his grip, the horse pulled the cart and galloped deeper into the trail.
At this time, the team in front had already discovered something was wrong.
When Jia She and a few servants came to help, Shen Ning's carriage was nowhere to be seen.
Two guards from Ningguo Mansion were also injured.
But now no one cared about them, even they themselves didn't care about the arrows on their bodies, and they picked up their swords and fought with the men in black who wanted to chase into the alley.
Besides the brother who drove the coach, there was also a martial artist beside my wife.
As long as we take down these five men in black, the lady will be fine.
As they fought together, Shen Ning and Wen Peilan, who rushed into the path, could feel that the palace guards were still trying their best to pull the horses, but there were many stones on the path, and the carriage tilted to the east, fell to the west, and then suddenly jumped up...
Shen Ning could only try her best to keep herself steady and avoid hitting her head.
Fortunately, this carriage has been specially treated since Jia Zhen was assassinated, and the places where the head might be hit are wrapped with thick cotton strips.
But even so, she felt extremely uncomfortable in the carriage.
Especially when the carriage jumped up several times.
Although the large charcoal fire on the carriage was covered tightly by a lid, the carriage was moving too violently, and sparks flew out from the hollow lid from time to time.
"Hold on tight, ma'am."
Wen Peilan grabbed the water bag in the car and quickly poured it into the charcoal basin.
There was a crackling sound, and a lot of white smoke came out.
Shen Ning covered her mouth and nose tightly. Wen Peilan held her steady with one hand and lifted the thick curtains on this side with the other.
The cold air blew in like a wind.
Just as Shen Ning was about to take a deep breath, the carriage suddenly bounced up again.
Fortunately, the wheels were solid and did not fall out.
"Ma'am, hold on, it will be fine in a moment."
The guards pulling the carriage were still trying to steady it, but at this moment, another arrow shot from the front right.
The galloping carriage screamed painfully and turned to the other side of the path again.
"There's someone else...?"
Wen Peilan heard the noise and couldn't help but turn pale. "Don't pull the horse anymore. Cut the reins quickly."
"No, at this time the other party will definitely think that we might cut the reins."
Jiao Da had rehearsed many unexpected events with them.
The palace guard said anxiously: "And there is a ditch here."
After the reins are cut, the carriage will also have great inertia.
By then, there is a high probability that you will fall into the ditch.
This fall will surely make them dizzy and dazed, and when the other party attacks them again... they may not even have the strength to resist.
"Hold your wife steady, don't let her bump into you."
He pulled the horse as hard as he could, trying to find a possible buffer zone.
Finally, there was a small ditch in front of the left.
Although it was pitifully small, it was big enough to trap the carriage.
He tried to get the horse to turn its head.
But what was unexpected was that with a "whoosh", another arrow flew straight to his head.
Immediately afterwards, there were two more "whoosh" sounds, both directed at the horse.
The guard ducked his head to avoid the arrow, but the horse couldn't.
The short and small arrows pierced into the flesh with a "pop".
The horse neighed again, picked up speed, and galloped wildly along the trail.
"Madam, there is a big slope ahead, jump off the car."
The palace guards called out to her loudly.
If the carriage falls down the slope, no one will survive.
The other party must have designed them to fall down the slope.
"Hold me tight, ma'am."
Wen Peilan grabbed Shen Ning and when the carriage bounced up again, she kicked towards the place that Jiao Da had mentioned.
Bang! The carriage was kicked out from the window like a door.
Considering that she was an official's wife with delicate skin and tender flesh, Wen Peilan first threw away the big soft backrest in the carriage, then grabbed Shen Ning and jumped down.
Bang~ Shen Ning's head hit the soft backrest, but her legs and stomach were hit hard.
But at this time Wen Peilan didn't bother to pull her, and several sleeve arrows came towards them again.
Snap, Snap~ She pulled the long whip on her waist and knocked down all the sleeve arrows.
"He Fangxiao, if you have the guts, come out and speak."
"Huh~"
A man in black jumped down from the tree, "Your Excellency is quite capable."
They have been planning this for so long.
They even set traps on the road and asked for external help, but unexpectedly, they were able to get here safely.
He glanced at the driver who had jumped off the rickshaw and fell into the ditch without moving, and said to Shen Ning who was holding onto a soft backrest and trying to stand up, "Mrs. Shen, we meet again."
She was lucky last time, this time...
"So it's an old acquaintance?"
Shen Ning touched his gun and asked, "Are you the King of Jin's men?"
She saw two people rushing over from the forest, "The last time you killed King Jin, it was fake, but killing me is real, right?"
My legs hurt, and my stomach hurts a little.
Shen Ning wanted to slow down and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
"Hahaha!"
The newly arrived man in black smiled and said, "Don't waste time talking to her. She is stalling for time." (End of this chapter)
