Chapter 29 "Madam, why do you keep looking at him?" "Madam, why do you keep looking at him?"
Ye Jindian was also shocked when she saw Zhang Min.
She did not know that it was her husband. She only saw that he was wearing a purple official uniform, a flat-topped turban, a gold and jade crown, a double-breasted coat, white trousers, black boots, and a jade leather belt.
Official uniforms are rare civil and military uniforms. I heard that in the entire Dayan, there are only two people who can wear official uniforms and civil and military uniforms, with one hand tied up and the other hand wide.
One is the current emperor, and the other is the Right Prime Minister, the God of Killing.
Coupled with the golden mask on the other person's face, it was hard for Ye Jindian not to know who he was.
Her heart thumped loudly, and she secretly sighed that she was so unlucky today, and misfortunes never come alone.
I originally wanted to go around and return to the blacksmith shop, hide there to see what was going on, and see if I could rescue my boss.
Now it seems that she is the one who needs to be rescued.
She didn't dare to dodge, nor did she dare to look at the God of Death. She lowered her eyes as if nothing had happened, slowed down her pace, and walked close to the wall.
I just hope that the Right Prime Minister just glanced at her casually and didn't pay any attention to her.
In fact, fearing that he would be discovered by his wife, Zhang Min quickly withdrew his gaze and gestured to the secret guard to move closer to protect the other party.
Fearing that his wife might be implicated in the assassination, he did not dare to delay. He pretended to be seriously injured and unable to walk, stepped into the sedan chair, and had it carried away quickly.
Seeing that the sedan chair was moving away from the prime minister's residence, Ye Jindian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned into the narrow alley next to it, heading in the opposite direction of home.
——She still wanted to find out what was going on between the boss and Mr. Xie.
Zhang Min sat in the sedan chair, thinking that his wife was not at home, so it would be okay to pass by the backyard of her house.
But now——
Seeing his wife leaving through the back door, he was not sure whether she would return home. After hesitating for a moment, he asked the palace soldiers to carry him and take another road.
Not long after, the visible and secret guards met head-on and looked hopeless.
What kind of "unprecedented fate" is this between the Prime Minister and his wife? !
Zhang Min and Ye Jindian hadn't met each other yet. They were one step behind the two guards, light and dark, and were still half a house away from meeting each other head-on.
Looking at the people ambushing on three sides, the visible and hidden guards lurking a little further away could only pray that the other party would see their sister-in-law, an innocent passerby, and be patient before taking action.
However, things don't always go as planned.
The hesitant killer chose not to miss the opportunity between seizing it and letting an innocent person go. He rushed out with a knife and blocked Zhang Min's sedan chair in front of an abandoned house.
After the war, there were some abandoned old houses like this scattered around the capital, with weeds growing everywhere and walls half broken.
When the secret guard saw the overlapping shadows of the grass, he knew that there were other killers lurking in the abandoned house.
Luoying hissed and felt that the situation was a little tricky.
The other party was planning to force their prime minister into the small house and catch him in a jar. The sister-in-law who was forced to bump into the sedan chair would eventually be pushed in as well.
——Unless they show up, destroy the plan directly, and rescue my sister-in-law.
But public affairs never give way to personal matters, and none of them would do such a thing.
It’s over, it’s over. They will definitely be punished when they return home today.
Ye Jindian is a little confused now.
She didn't understand why she had reached the corner. She had clearly taken two steps back to make way and wait for the other party to go first, but the sedan bearers with changed expressions pulled her over and stuffed her into the sedan.
If she recognized it correctly, this sedan chair was the same one that the Right Prime Minister of the God of Death had just been sitting in!
"I'm sorry." She stumbled into the sedan chair, quickly reached out to hold onto the small window beside her, steadied herself, apologized quickly, and turned to leave.
But as soon as she turned around, she felt a strong force on her waist, pulling her into a firm embrace with a strong aroma of pepper and angelica.
There seems to be a faint smell of blood in the fragrance of pepper and angelica.
Could it be true that the rumor that the Right Prime Minister's newlywed wife stabbed him severely was true? ! !
Her shoulder bumped into the other person's chest, causing some pain. But Ye Jindian didn't dare to speak or struggle. Her eyes widened as she watched a sword slash the curtain of the sedan chair apart, and a ray of white light opened up a window to the sky.
A cool, grayish-brown wind blew in in the morning, giving me goose bumps.
"Heh." A low, hoarse voice with a hint of suppressed anger came from behind him, saying nonchalantly, "Who are you? You want to kill me? Are your heads ready?"
Before she finished her words, she heard a "swish" sound and a line of cold light appeared next to her cheek, piercing the sword coming from outside.
bite--
The sword light collided with the blade, sending out flying sparks.
The sharp sound of "sizzling" whistled in her ears.
The wrist bone on the side of his face moved around, the sword body bent, and dragged to the side. With a dull "puff" sound, the horizontal sword pierced straight into the wooden board of the car wall.
There was a cold sneer behind him, and the long legs wrapped tightly in white pants at the waist stretched out and raised high, kicking the assassin in the chest and kicking him three feet away.
Ye Jindian was pulled backwards, and her spine hit the other person's hard shoulder, causing her to gasp in pain.
It was at this moment that she discovered that she was actually sitting on the left leg of the God of Killing!
This is really scary.
She quickly stood up.
Just as he straightened his back, the God of Death grabbed his waist and made him sit down heavily.
His legs were strong and hard, like a piece of cold stone, and almost made her dizzy.
"Ding——" "clang——"
Two more horizontal knives pierced into the car wall through the small window, and one on the left and one on the right directly removed the thin window, picked it up and smashed it to pieces on the ground.
With light coming from three directions and mist surrounding them, they had nowhere to hide.
The blade cut through the empty window, as fast as lightning, and slashed towards their heads.
The God of Killer behind her didn't seem to be panicking at all, and whispered in her ear in a deep voice, "Keep your head down."
Ye Jindian didn't dare to delay. She leaned her head against his shoulder, then was held by the waist and slid down to avoid the blade.
He supported himself with his sword, bent his knees and pushed off the ground, jumping upwards to avoid the assassin who was ambushing on the side of the ground.
When he landed, the sword light picked up the ring knife that was dropped by the sedan bearer and pierced into the thigh of the ambushing assassin like a shuttle.
The assassin screamed and fell down.
His movements were so smooth and fluid, and I don't know how many times he had encountered such a thing.
Ye Jindian passively stuck to him and moved with him. Her heartbeat never slowed down for a moment, and she dared not let her mind wander. She kept waiting for the opportunity to leave.
But the assassin was chasing her so closely that she couldn't find a chance.
They retreated all the way to the edge of the half-broken wall, and with just a lift of their legs they could step into the weed-covered courtyard.
She glanced back, wondering why the God of Killer suddenly stopped and didn't go in.
"Prime Minister?" Ye Jindian thought he was not clear about the structure of ordinary houses, so she said, "Most small houses in Beijing have back doors. If you go through the inner corridor..." As she said this, she suddenly realized something and stopped talking.
Zhang Min curled his pale lips and asked her in a low voice, "Why don't you say anything?"
Ye Jindian took out the inkstone and pen from the small bag on her body, swallowed nervously, and held the two things tightly.
Zhang Min lowered his head to take a look, and his smile deepened.
His wife is still as smart, clever, courageous and fearless as ever.
"Nothing." Ye Jindian didn't notice whether his half-exposed lips curled up or not. She was concentrating on paying attention to the movements behind her, holding her breath, and calming her panic. "It's just that I think that the Prime Minister is so noble, and it's really a bit inappropriate to wade through the grass. Why not shoot an arrow first to see if there are any poisonous snakes hiding in the deep grass."
As she spoke, she turned around suddenly and threw the pen into the grass with force.
Ye Jindian, who had learned blacksmithing since childhood, was quite strong. He could not distinguish the assassins hiding in the grass and instinctively dodged.
Thinking that making a noise would only lead to his being discovered, he simply rushed towards Zhang Min with a knife in hand: "Traitor, die!"
There was more than one assassin. Ye Jindian threw the inkstone hard, hitting one of them. Then he squatted in the corner with his head in his hands, shouting, "I'll leave the rest to you, Prime Minister!"
The Prime Minister was touched by the lady's cuteness and laughed out loud in a very happy mood. He maneuvered among the five people and finally found a chance to lead them away, allowing the lady to escape.
One against five, he fought for a while, then covered his waist and abdomen, and blood soaked through his clothes and flowed out from between his fingers.
He was slow in his movements and was stabbed by the assassin.
Li Wuzhi, who was in charge of patrolling the capital, also cooperated and descended from the sky at this time.
"Sister-in-law?"
When he saw Ye Jindian, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Min who was "struggling" to kill the assassin. He quickly protected her and kicked away the assassin who wanted to pounce on her and hold her hostage.
"Sister-in-law, follow me closely." Li Wuzhi drew out his sword and led her back to a corner, away from the assassins and the crowd who were fighting fiercely.
Luoying and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, appeared from the corner, pretended to have hurried over from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and joined the chaos breathlessly.
The survivors saw the situation reversed and the offense and defense changed. They also saw that Zhang Min had injuries on his waist and arms and his face was pale. After confirming that he was injured, they took the opportunity to escape in a hurry.
Luo Ying shouted at the top of her lungs, "Forget about the assassins. Take the Prime Minister back to the palace first! Call the imperial physician! Quick!!"
Li Wuji ordered his men to chase the last remaining assassin.
——If you are putting on a show, you always have to do it in full to lure the enemy deeper.
As he turned to leave, he saw Zhang Min's raised finger, secretly said "tsk", and instructed: "General Cao, take people to catch the thief."
Li Wuzhi casually rolled the knife into a flower shape and pushed it into the sheath with force.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you home." He made a "please" gesture and let Ye Jindian go first.
Ye Jindian's shock had just subsided. Looking at Li Wuji, dressed as a military officer, she began to wonder, "Is Li Langjun the Marquis of Wu who is inspecting the capital?"
"Yes." Li Wuji deliberately lowered his position and patted his armor, saying, "Join the army. Isn't it impressive?"
Ye Jindian looked at the armor with a little doubt, but still nodded: "Impressive."
When the other party came to rescue just now, he was indeed very heroic and majestic.
The other side.
As soon as Zhang Min entered the mansion, he jumped into the water vat and quickly washed off the smell of pepper and blood stains on his body.
Luo Ying's eyelids jumped: "Prime Minister, what are you doing?"
Even though the wound on his waist had healed, it was just a blood clot from the pig's stomach, but the knife wound was real.
Why is he treating himself like this!
Zhang Min vigorously scrubbed the thick layer of powder off his face and lips. "Bring me the sealant and the plain clothes. I'm going to find my wife."
After something like this happened, he was worried about her staying at home alone.
Luo Ying: “…”
He had no choice but to obey orders.
Afterwards, he watched someone emerge from the water, disguise his wounds, change his clothes, and resolutely jump into the Zishui River after going out of the back door of the prime minister's residence.
With a "splash", a huge splash of water was made.
“…”
Luoying rubbed his forehead and randomly ordered a soldier to pick up their "weak and unable to take care of himself" prime minister and send him home.
The couple met at a familiar corner.
Ye Jindian was surprised. "Husband?" She trotted over and took the trembling Zhang Min from the guards. With a look of heartache, she wiped the cold river water rolling down his face with her sleeve. "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like you were fished out of the water?"
Li Wuzhi was also very curious and stared at him.
Before Zhang Min could make up an excuse, the palace soldier spoke first.
"The master heard about his sister-in-law's situation and rushed back from the academy. He accidentally tripped and fell into the river!"
Ye Jindian looked at Zhang Min: "Husband?"
Li Wuji also looked at Zhang Min, with a half-smile: "Tripped? Fell into the river?"
Zhang Min couldn't argue with the palace soldiers and ruin his own reputation, so he just nodded and said, "Yeah."
"Oh, oh, oh," the palace soldier sighed with deep emotion, "Sir, your deep affection really makes me cry!"
Zhang Min: “…”
That's enough, back off!!
Li Wuji almost laughed out loud, but he knew Zhang Min was still injured and knew the severity of his injury, so he suppressed his laughter and said, "Brother Bai Shi, you look a little pale. Don't worry, you've caught a cold. You should go to the clinic right away. I have important matters to attend to, so I'll leave you."
He hung the knife back on his waist, waved at them and left.
Ye Jindian politely watched him leave a few steps before pulling Zhang Min to the clinic.
Zhang Min pursed his lips: "Madam, why do you keep looking at him?"
Ye Jindian briefly explained how the other party had just run out to protect her.
Finally, she sighed, "Mr. Li is truly agile and heroic. He saved me this time, and I must give him a thank you gift someday."
He had never accepted a gift from his wife, so why would Li Wuji go over him and accept a gift first?!
Zhang Min asked sourly, "Is he good at fighting?"
Ye Jindian thought of his stubborn nature and secretly cried out in dismay. Her husband had just rushed back, not only failing to protect her in time, but also falling into the water. He must have felt very bad.
She tried to relax and pretended to be natural, saying, "It's fine. I heard from Si Niang that she likes living with this kind of rough guy.
“But I think that when it comes to living life, a strong and powerful man is no match for a gentle and polite scholar.
"Just burying your head in work, without chatting about anything, nothing about love, how boring! Don't you think so, husband?"
"My lady, you are absolutely right."
Zhang Min smiled gently at his wife, feeling more worried.
No, he had to hide his strong and muscular side more tightly and not let any clues show up, or his wife would dislike him!
