The assassin did not come out to kill along the way, but actually ambushed at the door of Lu's house.

It's really courageous and a desperate move.

The horse that had been hit by the arrow had gone mad. The Jinyi Guards protected Lu Yunqi and retreated. At the same time, two of them swung their swords at the same time and killed the mad horse on the spot.

At the same time, a scream was heard in the dark night and then disappeared.

The front of the door was once again quiet. There were no more desperate criminals swarming over it, and no more arrows flying towards it.

"Sir, only one." The Jinyi Guards who had returned from the killing reported, dragging a corpse over.

The corpse had been hacked into pieces by random knives.

Those who are not confirmed dead will not be brought before Lu Yunqi.

Lu Yunqi didn't even look at the corpse on the ground. He staggered towards his home, but there was another commotion in the distance.

That was because the hidden Jinyiwei discovered the unusual movement.

The Jinyi Guards here immediately took action again, and at the same time one of them quickly walked to Lu Yunqi's side, offering his hand to support him or using himself as a human shield when necessary.

This is an action that everyone is used to.

The Jinyiwei was about to support the unsteady Lu Yunqi, but at this moment a dagger appeared in his hand, flashing with a cold light and stabbing straight into Lu Yunqi's heart.

The sudden change happened in an instant, and the surrounding Royal Guards saw it but were unable to react in time.

"grown ups!"

There were cries of surprise, but the next moment, Lu Yunqi was not seen being stabbed and falling to the ground.

Lu Yunqi stood up straight and steady. The dagger stopped in front of him, sticking to his robe, but did not move forward any further.

The Jinyiwei soldier's neck was strangled by Lu Yunqi's hand.

The sturdy body was lifted up by Lu Yunqi, and the hand that pinched his neck was like an iron clamp, instantly making the man's face turn pale and he made a gurgling sound.

The pain of suffocation did not last long. Lu Yunqi reached out with his other hand, held his head, and shook it violently.

This Jinyiwei soldier fell to the ground like a broken sack, and lay motionless without making a sound.

His neck and skull were deformed, and the blood gushing out of his mouth and nose stained the ground and also splashed Lu Yunqi's feet.

You can see how much force this twisting and falling exerts.

Because Lu Yunqi seldom goes out and is always surrounded by countless guards when he goes out, everyone thinks he is vulnerable and that is why he is so on guard, but that is not actually the case.

No matter how many barriers there are in front of him, the most important barrier in the end is himself. It is always unreliable to pin your hopes on others.

The Royal Guards gathered around, and one of them looked at the person on the ground.

"They are not our people." He said, and Chonglu Yunqi knelt down. "I failed in my duty and let them sneak in."

Lu Yunqi watched him reach out to take the Xiuchun sword from his hand, then raised his hand and chopped it down.

The body of the Royal Guard was stiff, but he did not move, with the determination to die.

The knife slid past his side and landed on the dead man on the ground.

This was a hacking and beating without any method, not like someone playing with a knife, but more like a butcher killing pigs in a butcher shop.

Faced with the dead pigs and the defenseless corpses, he vented his anger wantonly and ferociously. In a moment, the dead body on the ground became unrecognizable and turned into a pile of mud with flesh and blood.

The smell of blood spread in the night, thick and terrifying.

Lu Yunqi threw down the knife in his hand, his expression still blank, as if what he saw in front of him was just a piece of rotten pork.

"I just want to go home. I want to go home. Dare you block my way?" he said, and then walked towards home covered in blood.

The maid who came to greet him looked at him with some fear as he was covered in blood.

"Hurry up and tell the princess that the master is back." They whispered.

Lu Yunqi had already stood in front of Princess Jiuli's courtyard gate, but when he heard these words, he stopped, turned around and walked away.

The maids and servants who came out from the yard were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

The lights in the garden were dim at night. Lu Yunqi, who had no idea how long he had been walking in it, finally sat down on the ground tiredly, then lay on his back, spread his arms and legs, and looked at the dark night sky.

"Go home." He murmured and closed his eyes.

…

The sun shines brightly on the earth, and the sight of the city is bustling and bustling. The capital city in August is even more prosperous and lively.

"We're here!" The driver of a carriage pointed ahead and shouted happily, taking off his hat to reveal his dusty face. He was so excited that he seemed to want to dance, "I can see the capital."

Fang Jinxiu leaned out of the car and looked at him with frowned brows.

"Chen Qi, please don't be so conspicuous. Sit down properly." She said, and raised her eyes to look. "It's still a long way from here to the capital."

So that's it. Chen Qi looked at the passers-by on both sides with the hidden smile that even country bumpkins would give him. Then he looked at the city ahead and sat down with an embarrassed smile.

"It looks close, but it's a lie," he said.

Fang Jinxiu said nothing and did not get into the car again.

"We're finally here. I didn't expect it would take so long. I'm so tired." Chen Qi added, stretching and patting his shoulders.

"Who asked you to come with me? You don't know how to ride a horse." Fang Jinxiu said, "If I were riding a horse myself, I would have arrived long ago."

After deciding to leave Yangcheng and come to Beijing, Fang Jinxiu went to say hello to Chen Qi and Chen Qi's mother. After all, they had taken care of her during this period. Unexpectedly, when she left the next day, Chen Qi also followed her.

"Take me to the capital to make a fortune," he begged. "I heard that selling sugar figures in the capital can make you rich."

Fang Jinxiu couldn't persuade him, so she had to let him come along.

Because Chen Qi could not ride a horse, Fang Jinxiu had to buy a carriage, and the two of them set out on the journey together, traveling day and night for more than half a month before finally arriving in the capital.

The capital city, Fang Jinxiu looked at the city in front of her. She didn’t expect that it would actually come.

It happened suddenly. It was so far from Yangcheng to the capital, she had never thought about it before.

You have wings, so you can fly even if you fall to the ground.

Fang Jinxiu took a deep breath, took out the letter and took a look at it.

The address on the letter was already known to me by heart.

After walking for an hour, the two finally entered the capital city. The shock of the prosperity was beyond words. Chen Qi pulled the horse and cart and asked directly about the street where Jiulingtang was located, rather than the Jiulingtang clinic.

"I wonder how Miss Jun's clinic is doing?" Chen Qi turned around and asked, "It's only been open for less than two months. The capital is so big. Even with the help of Deshengchang, a clinic must rely on medical skills after all. It can't become famous overnight. I'm sure not many people know about Jiulingtang."

Fang Jinxiu snorted.

"That's not necessarily true," she said. "You don't know her."

"I know, everyone in Yangcheng knows that Miss Jun is a miracle doctor." Chen Qi said, "But it took a lot of effort and money to make it known to people. It's not that fast now."

Fang Jinxiu snorted again.

You don't know how many tricks this woman has.

Every time he does something amazing.

If she wants to, she can do it.

The carriage arrived at the street where Jiuling Hall was located.

"This place is a bit remote." Chen Qi said, looking around and frowning, "It should be opened somewhere more lively. It's not like Deshengchang can't afford to rent a shop."

Fang Jinxiu pouted.

"Whether to keep you or not is another matter. Just regard yourself as the shopkeeper," she said.

Chen Qi laughed out loud, pulled the horse and shook his head left and right to look, and soon his eyes lit up.

"There," he said happily, pointing.

Fang Jinxiu looked over and saw the plaque of Jiulingtang in her sight, and her heart couldn't help but warm up.

After such a long journey, I finally arrived home.

As this thought flashed through her mind, she snorted again.

I don't understand why she calls this place home.
