Chapter 120 The girl is smart!
Cheng Nianying didn't really want to get into trouble.
She turned to the man and asked, "Who are you?"
The servant boy then remembered: "You are that... that escort!"
His eyes sparkled as he spoke in a series of sentences: "We are from Imperial Capital. My master is the 33rd generation of the Yin family. He..."
The man interrupted, saying, "I'm afraid there's no time to elaborate. Miss, my name is Yin Heng, and this is my servant, Yin Ping. We're not bad people! Someone is chasing me for no reason, so let's get out of here!"
"Lie down." Cheng Nianying said.
"What?"
"Get down!" Cheng Nianying kicked Yin Heng to the ground.
The servant boy had already fallen to the ground, so now he was spared from being kicked.
He just shrank his neck in amazement, and then watched Cheng Nianying pull off the hairband and quickly wrap it around her right palm.
Everything seemed to happen in a flash.
Only a "whoosh" sound was heard.
The wind is strong, and the arrows are faster.
The servant boy opened his eyes wide, without even having time to utter a cry of surprise. The next moment, Cheng Nianying caught the flying arrow with his bare hands.
She tilted her head: "Just one?"
Book boy: “Ah?” What do you think it’s not enough?
Cheng Nianying thought she was unlucky enough to run into another killer in the building, but she didn't expect him to be a nobody.
Since they are here to hunt me down, such people are not good at all...
She made a decision immediately and went to meet the person who was coming.
The servant boy was so frightened that he whispered, "What are you going to do?"
The man who was chasing them originally wanted to kill them with arrows from a distance, but when the two men lay down, he lost sight of the target.
He had to get closer.
Come closer.
Then he bumped into Cheng Nianying.
When he bumped into her, he was stunned. Where did this girl come from?
Just as this thought came to his mind, he heard a "puff" sound... "You." He uttered a word with difficulty in his throat, and then fell down.
The arrow that had been shot earlier pressed against his hyoid bone and burrowed into his flesh.
The clouds blocked the moon at some point, making the night darker and the surroundings quieter.
The servant hunched his shoulders and trembled as he asked, "Why hasn't she come back yet?"
"We shouldn't let her go alone. After all, we are two grown men..."
As Yin Heng finished speaking, the servant saw Cheng Nianying's figure: "Are you back?"
"You're back soon?" The servant boy jumped up and hurried to help Yin Heng.
"The person who is chasing us..." The servant stretched his neck, but it was pitch black at a distance and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Cheng Nianying stopped walking: "He's half dead. If you have anything to ask, ask it quickly."
The servant was shocked. He took a closer look in the light of the campfire... "Your face is all covered in blood?"
"Oh." Cheng Nianying raised her hand and wiped it.
It only makes the face more smudged.
Although it is weird, it is really pretty and cute.
The servant swallowed hard and turned around to see his master limping forward, presumably to check on the person who was chasing him.
The servant had no choice but to follow quickly.
After taking two steps, he turned his head and wanted to greet Cheng Nianying: "Miss, you..."
Cheng Nianying sat back by the campfire and turned over the musk deer meat on the fire.
She wrinkled her nose: "It's messed up."
The servant boy's eyes widened, his heart fluttering with adorableness, but he didn't dare to look at her any longer, so he quickly turned around and followed Yin Heng.
Yin Heng took out a tinder and lit it, step by step, and finally came to the front of the person who was chasing him.
The man was not tall, dressed in short clothes suitable for night travel, and the scarf covering his mouth and nose was moving up and down violently.
He was breathing heavily.
"Who sent you?"
"Why kill me?"
"Is someone trying to cover up the Weiyang incident?"
The pursuer covered the lower half of his face and struggled hard, trying to sit up, but fell back after several attempts.
He stared at Yin Heng without saying a word.
"Sir..." The servant boy chased after him and pulled the man's veil, pulling out the arrow along with it.
Blood spurted out on the boy's face, and he finally understood how the girl had taken down the man with one move.
What a hideous wound!
The man spat out two mouthfuls of blood and lay back down with an even weaker breath.
"See if he has any keepsakes?"
"Why."
The servant searched the man's house but only found a secret letter.
Yin Heng’s face was drawn on the secret letter.
There is nothing else.
Yin Heng had no choice but to put the secret letter in his arms temporarily.
The servant scratched his head: "He can't speak, should we just kill him?"
Yin Heng hesitated for a moment: "...He is not very old."
The servant muttered, "The escort isn't very old, after all."
Yin Heng sighed: "Tie him up. Even if he can't speak, he can always write. We can still ask him questions."
"Um."
The master and servant endured the pain and gritted their teeth as they tied the man up with their belts.
When they stumbled back to Cheng Nianying, Cheng Nianying had already started eating the musk deer meat.
"I would like to ask the young lady to escort us for a while. Is that possible?" Yin Heng asked with a bow.
Cheng Nianying licked her lips and asked, "Are you a noble from Yujing?"
Yin Heng's eyelids twitched, and he sat down next to the campfire. "Why do you say that, young lady?"
Cheng Nianying still remembers the day when Wei Yanhua's mother, Jiang, was buried. On the way to Wei's house, Fu Yi talked to her about Jiang's family.
He said that the Chiang family had gone through three dynasties, and this could be considered a large family.
When the servant mentioned his identity as a man.
Cheng Nianying pointed and said, "He said you are the 33rd generation of the Yin family. This means your family has a history of at least 600 years, and has gone through at least four dynasties..."
Despite the changes of dynasties, the family lineage was not cut off due to wars, and the genealogy was passed down from generation to generation.
That must be a family more powerful than the Jiang family!
A look of surprise flashed across Yin Heng's face: "Young lady, you are smart!"
He wondered why the other party brought up this matter, so he took the initiative to say, "How about I hire the girl with a large sum of money?"
Cheng Nianying shook her head: "I don't like the nobles in Yujing."
Yin Heng looked embarrassed.
It turned out that I had misunderstood her.
She didn't want to get more money, but she simply didn't like the people in Yujing.
The servant covered his injured arm and asked hurriedly, "Why don't you like the nobles in the Imperial Capital? Is it because the atmosphere in the Imperial Capital is bad?"
Cheng Nianying glanced at him and didn't answer.
The servant boy quickly added, "But our master is different. He didn't grow up in the Imperial Capital. So, you can't blame him for having a good family background, right?"
Cheng Nianying put down the food in her hand and said to the servant, "Come here."
The servant hurried to her side.
Cheng Nianying grabbed his shoulder and took a look, then took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and sprinkled it on the wound.
The servant boy screamed in pain.
"Okay." Cheng Nianying put her hands away, her eyebrows and eyes looking even more beautiful and calm in the firelight.
Yin Heng sighed and said helplessly, "To tell you the truth, young lady, I was actually going to Weiyang to take up the post of county magistrate. I encountered an assassination attempt on my way, and I'm afraid someone has ulterior motives. If I can't arrive on time, it will bring hardship to the local people."
Cheng Nianying then looked at him again: "But if you come from a very good family, why don't you have any guards?"
"I came here in a hurry and contacted an uncle to provide protection, but unfortunately, I lost contact along the way."
"Oh, I got cheated."
Yin Heng choked: "...Well, yes, maybe."
"How much are you giving?" Cheng Nianying asked.
"Eighty taels!"
Cheng Nianying's eyes lit up slightly, but she quickly suppressed them: "I remember that even if you nobles just bought a hairpin to please your loved ones, you would spend a hundred or eighty taels."
"That's another dandy boy. My family has very strict rules and doesn't allow young people to have too much private money. These eighty taels must come from my salary that I have saved over the years."
"Then you just said you would hire her with a large sum of money."
"Eighty taels... isn't that heavy?" Yin Heng smiled awkwardly.
The servant boy also spoke up for his master: "Yes, yes, my master himself is reluctant to spend ten taels a month."
Cheng Nianying silently reflected on herself for a moment, wondering if she had been spoiled by the Prince's Mansion.
Not very good, not very good.
*
Prince's Mansion.
The secret guard was kneeling in front of Fu Yi and replied, "I've checked both places. There's no one from the Jiang family. Only a few impoverished relatives are fighting over the inheritance."
“There’s no one in Dengzhou.”
"There haven't been any strangers to Chu Zhen's brother-in-law's house recently."
Wu Xun's head ached after hearing this: "The Princess of the County is quite capable... How could she be like a fish in water, leaving no trace at all?"
After saying this, he realized that the name was wrong.
But when he turned around, he saw that the prince didn't care about this matter at all.
Fu Yi lowered his eyes, his face expressionless.
Yeah, no expression.
But now it is even greener.
