Chapter 396 Enjoy
The princess was really tired, so Mother Yun helped her go back to rest. It took the princess several days to recover from the exhaustion.
On this day, the weather was fine. Chen Tang sat on the swing, swinging gently, not daring to swing too far.
A little maid walked in from outside the courtyard, holding two red wedding invitations with gold decorations. Ginkgo asked, "Are these wedding invitations from Duke Wen's Mansion and the Jiang family?"
The little maid nodded repeatedly and handed the wedding invitation to Chen Tang.
Five days later, it would be the day when the third young master of Duke Wen's mansion would marry Jiang Li, but unfortunately, Chen Tang was in poor health and could not attend the wedding.
Chen Tang had prepared the makeup early, and asked Ginkgo to deliver it to Jiang Li at the Jiang family the next day.
Gingko went out after breakfast and came back at lunch. "Today, many ladies from wealthy families went to give dowry to the second cousin. The Jiang family is very lively."
It was expected that a bunch of ladies from noble families would send gifts to Jiang Li. Prince Yu was now in the limelight in the court, and the Prince Qi, who was suppressed by him, had almost no power to fight back. Princess Yu took the blame for Prince Yu and was deeply loved by him. Duke Wen's Mansion was Princess Yu's maiden family, and Jiang Li would become the third sister-in-law of Princess Yu's maiden family after she married. Such a good opportunity to curry favor with her must not be missed.
Chen Tang is pregnant and cannot leave the house to attend the wedding, so Xie Guimo will definitely go.
He was at the same table with Chu Yi, Xiao Xun and Prince Yu, and they were drinking to their heart's content.
After the wedding banquet at Duke Wen's Mansion, Xie Guimo rode back to the mansion on horseback and walked for a while with Chu Yi and Xiao Xun. They were talking and laughing, and when they reached a place where there were few people around, Xie Guimo sensed a murderous aura.
The arrow shot towards him.
"careful!"
He shouted and turned his body to avoid the incoming arrows.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun only reacted when they heard Xie Guimo shouting "Be careful", and they almost failed to avoid it.
Arrows rained down like rain and were all knocked to the ground by Xie Guimo and his men.
The assassin appeared in the dark, and the knife in his hand reflected a cold light.
The leader wore a mask and had a cold look in his eyes that was chilling to the bone.
"kill!"
"Leave no one alive!"
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun looked at each other.
I thought the assassin was targeting Xie Guimo, but I didn't expect that he wanted to kill them as well.
Yes, if they wanted to kill only Xie Guimo, they should have ambushed him on the road that Xie Guimo had to take to return to Prince Jingyang's Palace after they left, instead of here.
Chu Yi looked around him. Apart from him, Xie Guimo and Xiao Xun, there were six people in total, each with a guard. Opposite them were fifteen or sixteen black-clad assassins, each of whom looked to have extraordinary martial arts skills. They were going to put them to death.
Unfortunately, the person who can take their lives has not been born yet.
Chu Yi smiled and said, "Looks like we can go on a killing spree today!"
The assassin came to attack, Chu Yi jumped off the horse and landed on the ground, fighting with the assassin.
It was already late at night, with only a last glimmer of fire remaining in the sky.
There were many assassins, but Xie Gui, Mo Chuyi and their martial arts were very skilled, and they could fight one against three without being at a disadvantage.
Soon there were several bodies of assassins on the ground.
The masked man was standing there watching. After another assassin was killed by Xie Guimo's sword, he could no longer hold back. He drew out the soft sword he carried with him and rushed towards Xie Guimo.
The man is full of vigor and fierce eyes, and he vows to take Xie Guimo's life. However, his martial arts skills are not good enough for Xie Guimo.
After just a dozen moves, Xie Guimo's sword was on his neck.
Seeing the man being caught, the assassins stopped.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun were both a little confused. Was this what it meant to capture the leader first?
Xie Guimo said, "Kill them, leave no one alive."
Chu Yi, "..."
Xiao Xun, "..."
Why does this sound so familiar?
Isn’t this what the assassin leader just said?
Brother Gui Mo never humiliated the assassin like this.
While the two men were secretly complaining in their hearts, they moved their hands and killed several assassins before the assassins could react. Then each of them killed one more. The remaining two assassins saw that the situation was not good and wanted to rescue the leader, but were stopped by Chu Yi and Xiao Xun.
Unable to save the people, the two assassins were about to escape, so Chen Qi led his men to chase them.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun walked towards Xie Guimo.
Xie Guimo's sword was still on the man's neck. "I spared you twice. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
The man's face changed and he said coldly, "You know who I am. I don't believe you dare to kill me..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Guimo moved his hand, a cold light flashed, and blood flowed from his neck.
The man covered his neck and looked at Xie Guimo in disbelief, "You, you dare, my father won't..."
Xie Guimo said, "Don't worry, I will send your father down soon so that you and your son can be reunited."
The man fell to the ground and died.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun, you look at me and I look at you.
Xiao Xun asked Xie Guimo, "Who is this person?"
Chu Yi didn't ask, he just squatted down and took off the mask on the man's face.
When Chu Yi and Xiao Xun saw the face under the mask, their eyes almost popped out.
yes--
The Prince of Changping!
Chu Yi was shocked and said, "He was exiled to the border, how come he is in Kyoto?!"
No wonder he and Xiao Xun were killed together. If they died together with Xie Guimo, their father would be heartbroken enough, so how could he have the mind to help Prince Yu win the throne.
So cruel.
But the Prince of Changping Marquis has no self-awareness at all. With his limited martial arts skills, he dares to fight with Xie Guimo. What's the difference between this and seeking death?
Xiao Xun asked Xie Guimo, "Did you know it was him from the beginning?"
Xie Guimo said, "If he doesn't take action, I'm still not sure."
Although the Emperor sentenced the Prince of Changping to exile for ten years, Xie Guimo did not believe that the Prince of Changping could really endure the hardship of exile. The Marquis of Changping could send a message to the border guards, asking them to torture the exiled Envoy Lu Xuanfu's family. The Prince of Changping would not suffer any hardship in exile.
But Xie Guimo didn't expect that the Prince of Changping would not even stay at the border, but dared to return to Beijing and assassinate him.
He had already been spared twice before, but he still dared to run into him. Now that he is a fugitive, how could Xie Guimo spare his life again?
Soon Chen Qi, Chu Yi and Xiao Xun's guards returned with the heads of the two assassins.
Xie Guimo threw the soft sword to Chen Qi, "Hang the Marquis of Changping on the city gate for me."
Chen Qi agreed and took people to do the job.
Xie Guimo said to Chu Yi, "Let's find a place to take a bath. Do you want to go?"
Chu Yi was a little confused, "Aren't you going back home directly?"
"You smell of blood, wash yourself before going back."
“…”
Having just experienced a fierce battle, he was afraid that the smell of blood would bother the Crown Princess, so he had to wash himself before going back.
When it comes to doting on his wife, it has to be Brother Gui Mo.
There is no comparison, no comparison at all.
Xiao Xun said, "Go take a bath in the hot spring."
After dinner, Chen Tang paced back and forth in the yard. He watched the last ray of sunset disappear in the sky, but did not see Xie Guimo coming back, so he became a little worried.
The wedding banquet won't end so late. After a while, there will be a curfew on the streets.
When it was almost dark, Chen Tang got up from the swing and prepared to go back to the house. Then she saw Xie Guimo walking towards her. Chen Tang asked, "Why are you back so late?"
Xie Guimo said, "We drank to our heart's content. After the banquet, I went to a hot spring with Xiao Xun and the others. Are you getting impatient waiting?"
