Chapter 231 Sending Duke Zhao on his way! !
Zhao Xu's face changed slightly when he heard this: "What do you mean? Now you've been forced into a dead end by us, and you're still being stubborn!"
Jiang Xihe patted his embarrassed body, raised his head, and said in a voice with unquestionable majesty: "Capture Zhao Xu for me!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the assassins standing next to Zhao Xu immediately pointed their knives at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu looked at this sudden change, his mind was confused: "What are you doing? I am your master, kill Jiang Xihe!"
Jiang Xihe: "Zhao Xu, you created the Assassin's Pavilion yourself. Everyone you trained is my man. So, you are the Pavilion Master in public, but I am the Pavilion Master in secret!!"
Zhao Xu went crazy when he heard this: "Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!! This is all fake!! Fake!!"
Jiang Xihe: "Well, Zhao Xu, to be honest, you are really not very good at training people, so I will do it for you secretly!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to signal everyone, and looked at Zhao Xu with cold eyes: "Send Duke Zhao on his way!"
Zhao Xu woke up instantly after hearing this, drew his sword and fought desperately to escape! !
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xihe snatched the sword from Ji Silan's hand, flew towards Zhao Xu, and stabbed Zhao Xu's heart directly. Fearing that Zhao Xu was not dead yet, he stabbed him three more times in the heart.
Then he looked at Ji Silan and Ning Chu, and after exchanging glances, Jiang Xihe took the dagger and stabbed it directly into his chest. He stabbed three times in a row, but he cleverly avoided the vital points.
Ji Silan, Ning Chu: "Princess!!"
Jiang Xihe fell into Ji Silan's arms and said, "If I am intact, people will doubt Zhao Xu's death. After all, he and I are opponents. Don't worry! I cherish my life very much! It's just a little pain!"
Ning Chu: "Princess, stop talking! The blood, the bleeding won't stop!"
Ji Silan: "Princess, you can't abandon me!!"
Jiang Xihe: "Don't worry, I am a man of my word. I promised to accompany you eight people for the rest of your lives, so I won't lose a single day."
"I'll take a nap. I'll leave the rest to you two. Follow the original plan!!"
After Jiang Xihe fainted, Ning Chu stood up and used his inner strength to shout, "There's an assassin! Someone, come! Protect me!"
When the ministers nearby heard the noise, they all rushed over with their guards.
When everyone arrived at the scene, Ji Silan and Ning Chu were fighting desperately with the assassin. After both of them were stabbed in the shoulder, the assassins saw reinforcements coming and retreated using their internal energy. The guards followed the assassins and chased them relentlessly.
Seeing Zhao Xu and the princess lying on the ground nearby, everyone was so frightened that their legs went limp and they sat down on the ground. It was over! Both the Duke of Zhao and the princess were killed by the assassin!
Jiang Jinheng, who stayed in the tent, shouted in disbelief after hearing the report from the visitor: "My sister will be fine!!! No way!!!"
He stumbled out after saying this. At this moment, he was really upset. Although he wanted to seize power, he never thought that his sister would die! !
When he arrived at Jiang Xihe's tent, he looked at the person lying on the bed covered in blood and finally burst into tears: "Sister!!!"
Ning Chu coldly glanced at Jiang Jinheng who was about to pounce on him, and hurried over to block him: "Your Majesty, please don't go over there yet. The imperial physician is trying his best to save the princess, don't go and cause trouble!!"
In the past, Jiang Jinheng would have yelled and screamed when he heard these words, but today, after listening to Ning Chu's words, he just stood aside and watched without going forward to disturb him.
And the other side.
Quan Ye was helping to knead dough in the pastry shop when he suddenly heard Zhang Lingfu say that someone was looking for him. He came out curiously to take a look and found that it was one of the people who had filed a complaint against Xu's Pastry Shop today.
"Master Dog, I have something to do..."
"Come in first. No one saw you coming, right?"
“No, I’m being careful.”
Xu Zhiyi looked at the person that Master Quan brought into the backyard and asked directly, "Why are you looking for me at this time? What happened?"
Hearing this, the man nodded quickly and said, "Just now, the Xue family came to the village to look for the five people who were poisoned. They said they were willing to give each of them two hundred taels of silver and asked everyone to go to the government office to plead for mercy, saying that they would not pursue the matter of poisoning! Let the county magistrate give Xue Mei a lighter sentence."
Xu Zhiyi: "Did the five people agree?"
"Hey, Master Dog saved our lives. How dare we act on our own? Isn't that ungrateful?"
"My family asked me to come here to talk because they are afraid that the Xue family will use some means to force us. How can we resist then?"
Xu Zhiyi shook his head when he heard this: "No, even if you really go to the government office and do what the Xue family said, the county magistrate will definitely not change the sentence."
"If the Xue family is really forcing you, then just obey! Anyway, the Xue family can't change the result!"
When the man heard Xu Zhiyi's words, he felt relieved. After thanking Master Quan a few words, he left with peace of mind.
"Big Inu, I'll give you seventy taels of silver and ask you to find a few actors. From what that guy just said, you're their savior, right? You're not going to keep all that money for yourself, are you?"
Hearing this, Master Quan was so scared that he quickly shook his head: "Boss, absolutely not. I forced them to accept it! Once they were robbed by the Green Tiger Gang. I was in a very good mood that day, so I took a few of my brothers to rescue them."
Xu Zhiyi nodded after hearing this: "Not bad, this is the first good deed you have ever done, right?"
"Hehe, it's true. I didn't expect to get a reward."
Quan Ye planned to go back to the kitchen to continue helping to knead the dough. He discovered his usefulness, which was that he kneaded dough better than anyone else in the shop.
Zhang Lingfu came into the backyard again and said, "Boss, someone wants to visit again!!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi and Quan Ye stopped and looked at Zhang Lingfu curiously.
Xu Zhiyi: "Did you say who it was?"
Zhang Lingfu: "Uh, I forgot to ask! I'll go ask now"
"Hey" Xu Zhiyi raised his hand and wanted to call someone in, but Zhang Lingfu ran away!
"Shopkeeper, I greeted him. He said his name is Xue Cheng and he is Xue Mei's brother!"
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyi thought, is he planning to beg for mercy from her?
"Let him in!"
When Xue Cheng came into the backyard and saw Xu Zhiyi's face, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but he was sure that he didn't know this person.
