Chapter 574 Assassination
Wan Xingchen and Jia Yanbing reacted the fastest.
Jia Yanbing immediately picked up Fubao and hid aside. Wan Xingchen held Wan Laoer with one hand and Wan Yirou with the other and hid on the other side.
What is certain now is that the other party is hiding in the bamboo garden.
Wan Xingchen has been on guard ever since he witnessed Wan Yirou being assassinated at the gate of the palace last time. He didn't expect that this time, the other party would find Rou'er as soon as she went out. Rou'er is just a girl in the boudoir, who did she offend?
Wan Xingchen had no doubt that the arrow was aimed at Jia Yanbing.
But Jia Yanbing himself knew that the arrow was aimed at him, because if Fubao didn't block it, the arrow would hit his head.
Jia Yanbing's heart is still beating fast. He was still trying to track the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party had already found him and was coming to kill him.
It seems that he will have no good days in the future.
He has no background now, so even if he is killed, it will be like an ant being crushed to death, and no one will care.
Thinking about his current situation, Jia Yanbing couldn't help but feel sad and hugged Fubao tightly. If Fubao hadn't insisted on letting him follow her to the teahouse today, he would definitely be a corpse now, right?
Jia Yanbing's eyes couldn't help but change several times when he looked at Fubao, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he felt that he should help this student twice as much in the future.
However, if you want to have a future, you still have to overcome this hurdle first.
He looked up at the three figures hiding behind the screen opposite him. He thought that the only one who could help him now was the Duke's Mansion.
Even if he finds out, what will happen? He still can't do anything to those people. He still has to rely on powerful families to achieve his goals.
Just as they were holding their breath and concentrating, dozens of arrows whizzed in.
However, this time, the arrows not only came in through the window, but all the paper facing the bamboo garden was pierced by the arrows, and dozens of arrows were instantly stuck in the room.
Wan Xingchen did not bring any weapons with him today. Now he had all his kung fu skills, but he was helpless. However, the most important thing now was to leave this room.
"Rou'er, you and Uncle Wan will leave here in a while. I will cover you." Wan Xingchen whispered to Wan Yirou, then turned to look at Uncle Wan, "Uncle Wan, please take Rou'er back to the Duke's Mansion in a while. The carriage is outside. Get on the carriage as soon as you leave the door. Don't linger."
Wan Lao Er nodded in panic, but he immediately asked: "Xingchen, what about Fubao? She is still with Mr. Yan?"
Wan Laoer was a little anxious. It seemed as if these arrows had eyes and were all shot towards the opposite side. Their side was relatively safe.
Wan Laoer suddenly remembered what Fubao said to Jia Yanbing in the morning. Wan Laoer's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the arrow was aimed at Mr. Yan?
Once this idea formed in Wan Laoer's mind, he also began to observe carefully in secret.
It seemed that most of the arrows fell over there, and Wan Laoer was now more certain of his idea.
"Xingchen, don't panic. I'm afraid these people are not coming for you. I'm afraid they are coming for Mr. Yan."
Wan Xingchen had a preconceived notion and always believed that the assassins this time were the same group of people who attacked the palace last time, and he didn't notice that the arrows rarely came towards them.
After Wan Laoer's reminder, he calmed down and observed carefully, and found that the other party seemed to be shooting only at Fubao's husband.
"Uncle, what is going on? Why is Mr. Yan being hunted down?"
Wan Xingchen couldn't help but think more at this time. If he was an ordinary gentleman, why couldn't he show his true face to others, and was assassinated? This was not a small move. Being able to ambush in the bamboo garden and assassinate in broad daylight can be said to be very arrogant.
"Xingchen, this is a long story. Let's rescue the people first, shall we? No wonder Fubao insisted that Mr. Yan follow her today. It shows that Fubao has already seen that something is wrong."
Wan Xingchen looked at Wan Laoer suspiciously. What does this have to do with sister Fubao?
However, Wan Xingchen also remembered Fubao’s strange behavior in the morning. But now is not the time to think about these things. He must find a way to save people first.
"Uncle, even if I save him, you have to tell me, has Mr. Yan offended someone he shouldn't have offended?"
Wan Xingchen didn't want to get involved in muddy waters. After all, the Duke's Mansion couldn't afford to make too many enemies right now, so he had to learn from past mistakes.
Wan Lao Er assured: "Xingchen, I don't know who Mr. Yan offended, but I can guarantee that he is a good person, definitely not a bad person. I will tell you in detail when we get back."
Wan Xingchen looked at Wan Laoer for a long while, and finally agreed: "Second Uncle, I am doing this for the sake of you and Sister Fubao."
"Thank you, uncle. I will accept your kindness."
Wan Xingchen waved his hand and quickly pushed the screen in front of him to the window, just blocking the view outside.
The arrows shot from the bamboo garden suddenly seemed to have lost their target and began to attack indiscriminately.
"ah!"
An arrow flew past Wan Yirou's ear and almost hit her face. Wan Yirou screamed in fright and squatted on the ground with her head in her hands.
Wan Xingchen was startled by Wan Yirou's scream, but after realizing it was a false alarm, he immediately pushed Wan Laoer and Wan Yirou out of the door.
"Uncle, since the other party's target is not us, you and Rou'er are safe. You go out and hide first. I will rescue Sister Fubao. Their target is Mr. Yan. I must take Mr. Yan away to divert their attention."
"Okay, we'll wait for Fubao here."
With Wan Xingchen's words, Wan Laoer felt a little relieved.
Wan Xingchen turned around, and an arrow shot straight at his face. He bent back, flipped over, and kicked sideways with his left leg, deflecting the arrow.
Then, he used the tables and chairs in the room as cover and rolled to the place where Fubao and Mr. Yan were hiding.
The two men were now hiding behind a few overturned chairs, the panels of which were full of arrows.
But both of them were unharmed.
"Mr. Yan, Sister Fubao, how are you?"
"Brother Chen, I'm fine." Panic flashed in Fubao's bright eyes. After all, this was not a close combat. The other party was shooting, and they could only hide.
"Sister Fubao, I will take you out to meet up with Uncle Wan Er and Rou'er. You guys go back to the Duke's Mansion first. I will take Mr. Yan away from here to divert their attention. We will meet up at the Duke's Mansion later."
"Yeah, okay." Fubao immediately stretched out his little hand and walked towards Wan Xingchen.
Wan Xingchen quickly grabbed Fubao's hands, brought her into his arms, and carried her up and down to the door. At this time, there were not many people in the teahouse as everyone had been scared away.
"Fubao!"
Wan Lao Er quickly took Fu Bao, and Wan Xingchen only had time to shout, "Go!"
He returned to the room quickly.
Wan Lao Er held Fu Bao in his arms and said to Wan Yi Rou, "Miss Wan, follow me quickly."
"Okay, Uncle."
Green plums, green plums and black plums followed closely behind.
As soon as there was a movement in the room, the two maids lay on the ground and escaped the disaster.
Their legs are still weak at this moment.
