Chapter 284: Assassination at Night
Yu Hui kept Jiang Xinyu as her personal bodyguard on the pretext of wanting him to understand the local customs and practices.
She also introduced them to her lover Alan when he came back.
Out of various considerations, Yu Hui did not tell Alan about her time travel and reincarnation.
He just said that he thought Jiang Xinyu knew a lot since she came from the capital, so he asked a few more questions.
Unexpectedly, the two hit it off and became sisters at first sight, and Jiang Xinyu also revealed her true identity.
The two of them were worried that they couldn't be together openly.
Now with Sister Yu's help, not only are their issues easier to handle, but her father also no longer has to worry.
This Alan girl has a masculine appearance, a tall figure, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
If Yu Hui hadn't said that she was a girl, Jiang Xinyu would have thought that she was a handsome man with a dark complexion.
Not to mention Yu Hui, even she, who is straight, thinks this girl is super handsome.
Alan originally thought that Yu Hui was a housewife with limited knowledge and was deceived, but after talking with Jiang Xinyu, he realized that it was her who was mean-spirited.
Jiang Xinyu has a forthright personality and broad knowledge, so Alan believes 60% of her identity.
This was already very high. After all, she had never heard that the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo was a martial artist.
But now she is desperate and is willing to take a chance even if the trust level is only 60%.
If she didn't take this chance, her only way out would be to elope with Yu Hui.
Not to mention that with General Yu's power, they might not be able to escape from Bashu.
Even if she ran away, would she let Xiaohui, who was rich and powerful and had to rely on her as a servant, live with her and endure hardships?
She was born in a poor family and understood best what it meant to be a poor couple with many sorrows.
If there was any possibility, she wouldn't want her lover to suffer with her.
But she couldn't follow Xiaohui and marry into another family as a bodyguard.
She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would kill the man who married Xiaohui.
If it is true as Jiang Xinyu said, letting Xiaohui and the Regent get married in fake marriage is undoubtedly the best option.
Not only can the two of them live together without Xiaohui having to reduce her quality of life, but more importantly, it can also solve General Yu's urgent problem.
Although she was just a guard, she was not indifferent to everything. She could feel that the atmosphere in the palace had become increasingly depressing since the new emperor ascended the throne.
If something really happened to General Yu, she might not be able to protect Xiaohui.
Jiang Xinyu said she would go back and pack up her things to leave the space for the young couple.
She knew that the two of them didn't completely trust her yet, so it would be better to let them discuss it.
Jiang Xinyu didn't bring anything when she came, so naturally she had nothing to pack.
He rolled up the roof given by the government and moved to a new home with one hand.
But she didn't expect to get such a big job on her first day on the job. In the middle of the night, Yu Hui suddenly heard a sound of metal clashing in her room.
When Jiang Xinyu and others rushed over, they only saw Alan covered in blood and still fighting with a man in black.
But she was clearly at a disadvantage and was about to be stabbed in the chest.
Jiang Xinyu casually swung his sword over to deflect the man's sword, then dodged and kicked him.
The man didn't expect Jiang Xinyu to be so fast. He rushed forward with a knife, but once he started fighting, he realized that he was no match at all.
It seemed that the mission could not be completed today, so the man did not want to fight anymore. He swung his sword and flew out of the window and ran away.
Jiang Xinyu was afraid that this man was from the East Factory, so she did not dare to take drastic measures and released half of the West Lake.
I originally wanted to chase after him and ask him, but the other guards had already caught up and the warning whistle had been blown.
Even if she caught up with him now, she would not have the time to talk to that person so she did not move.
Seeing the thief being chased away, Yu Hui crawled out of the bed crying, and while shouting for someone to quickly call a doctor, she helped Alan onto the bed.
Alan didn't dare touch her even though his hands were covered in blood. He just endured the pain and gently advised her not to worry too much.
Among all the female guards in the inner courtyard, Li Alan had the best martial arts. The man cut a gash from her shoulder to her chest. Although it bled a lot, the wound was not very deep.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinyu arrived in time. Alan knew that with that man's kung fu, he would be able to take her life in a few more breaths.
At this moment she didn't feel any pain but only fear. The man was coming for Yu Hui and was fully prepared and knew the guard change time here.
Fortunately, she was lying with Xiaohui and the man was startled when he lifted the bed curtains.
If there hadn't been that pause, Xiaohui would have been beheaded by now if she had been sleeping alone.
The General's Mansion is in a very turbulent time right now. Yesterday there was talk of an assassination attempt, but today there was an assassination attempt.
Which force can no longer hold back?
When the whistle sounded, General Yu Sheng in the front yard heard it. After asking, he was told that it came from the eldest lady's courtyard. He was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
After his youngest son passed away, he cherished his three remaining children very much.
Especially my only daughter, whom I hold in my hands for fear that she will drop, and hold in my mouth for fear that she will melt.
Now that his precious daughter had been assassinated, he could no longer sit still. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the backyard.
At this time, the doctor had already checked Alan's pulse, prescribed some external ulcer medicine, and left two prescriptions for replenishing qi and blood.
As for bandaging the wound, it was inconvenient for him, but he still asked the maid to sew up the wound.
The maids in the inner courtyard had only sewn silk, satin, cotton and linen cloth, how could they have sewn human flesh?
Everyone was so frightened that their hands were shaking and no one dared to agree.
In the end, Jiang Xinyu volunteered to sew up Alan's wound.
Seeing Alan sweating profusely from the pain but still not forgetting to comfort Yu Hui, Jiang Xinyu secretly gave a thumbs up in her heart.
These sisters are really awesome.
It would take those weak-footed men 20 years to learn this kind of magnanimity.
Now that it has become so A, it doesn't seem to matter whether it is a boy or a girl. If it weren't for Xiao Yuan, she would have wanted to pursue him.
In this world, men and women are very cautious and even the father cannot directly enter the girl's room.
Yu Sheng started shouting when he reached the door of the outer hall, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the lady come out safe and sound.
Hearing that a guard was stabbed and was getting his wound repaired in the house, Yu Sheng was even more frightened.
While sending people to intensify the search for the assassin, he also asked the butler to remember to give Alan a reward of 100 taels of silver.
Alan packed her clothes and came out to thank Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng praised her a lot with a smile and seemed very satisfied with Alan.
Jiang Xinyu hid in the back and found it funny.
If General Yu knew that this was the pig that was stealing his cabbages, he would probably be so angry that he would immediately draw his sword and kill Alan.
Ignorance is bliss indeed.
No one dared to sleep in this situation today. Yu Sheng asked about the details of the assassin while waiting for news from the guards in the mansion.
Upon learning that the guards had not spotted the assassin's trace and had lost him, they became furious.
They didn't catch any yesterday and they didn't catch any today. What are they doing here?
When did he turn the military mansion into a vegetable garden so that anyone can come in and take a look around?
As the commotion in the backyard began, torches were lit everywhere in the general's mansion, making it brightly lit.
Things were even more chaotic today than yesterday; even those who were not on duty got up.
Xiaodie was thankful for the relaxation she had yesterday, otherwise she might not have been able to conceal the past.
As the main force that drove off the assassin, Jiang Xinyu was fortunate enough to stay and listen. When he saw the old man holding a white folding fan come in, his heart skipped a beat.
This person gave her a very wrong feeling. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that he looked like the assassin.
But didn't Yu Hui say that this was an old man from their Yu family? Then why did he come to assassinate him?
