Chapter 158 Xiao Yunjin is attacked
Xiao Yunjin was very annoyed. He had no intention of attending any celebration banquet. Just as he was about to leave, he was blocked by the Second Prince who caught up with him. "What? Prince Jin is so disrespectful?"
Xiao Yunjin was about to lose his temper when Su Zhen pulled him aside with a warning look in his eyes. Xiao Yunjin suppressed his annoyance. He still had to give face to his father-in-law. Besides, Su Muxi should be fine, otherwise the Duke of Zhenguo would not be so calm.
"Second Prince, you are joking. People have three urgent needs," Xiao Yunjin said, and nodded to Su Zhen, "I will be back soon."
"Then let's go to the celebration banquet and wait for the prince." Su Zhen glanced at Ada outside the tent inadvertently.
A Da nodded and followed Xiao Yunjin quietly.
Xiao Yunjin wanted to go see Su Muxi, but the distance was too far. Su Muxi was in the Northwest Camp, and the peace talks were in Hongcheng. He was annoyed and raised his hand to call Cang Jue out, "The people who are keeping an eye on He Yuncheng, have you sent any news?"
Cang Jue said: "No news has been received."
Normally, if there is no news, it should mean that no action has been taken. However, Xiao Yunjin was inexplicably irritated. "You should go back in person and confirm the princess's safety with your own eyes. Also, check with He Yuncheng to confirm whether the people who followed her have been lost."
Normally, Cang Jue would obey Xiao Yunjin's opinions, but today, Xiao Yunjin thought it was too much trouble and only brought him with him. If he left, he was afraid that something might happen to his master.
As soon as Cang Jue hesitated, Xiao Yunjin knew what he meant, "No one among these villains can hurt me, so go ahead and rest assured!"
"I obey your command." Cang Jue received the order and executed it immediately.
Xiao Yunjin pinched his brows and walked towards the banquet hall.
Suddenly he frowned and glanced to the side, "Who are you? Come out."
Ah Da didn't expect Xiao Yunjin to find him. After all, he was just following from a distance, so he didn't have any scruples. He walked out from behind the tent and said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, the marshal asked me to show you the way."
Xiao Yunjin had investigated Su Muxi, including the people who followed Su Muxi. He had seen Ah Da's portrait. He was a little thinner than he had imagined, but he looked very cunning and a capable person. "You followed the princess."
Smart people don't need to hide things. Ah Da said calmly, "Yes."
"You are very good." Xiao Yunjin rarely praised someone, "The princess has a good eye."
"The master's eyesight is always very good," Ah Da said, "He can spot any demon or monster at a glance."
Xiao Yunjin's brows relaxed a little when he thought of Su Muxi. "Let's go! Otherwise, the Duke of Zhenguo will be anxious soon."
The banquet didn't last long. When Jinling saw that Su Muxi was not there, he was in no mood to deal with these people. He ate two bites and got up to leave. The second prince followed behind him to apologize.
After the people from Feng Country left, Xiao Yunjin did not stay any longer. He apologized to Su Zhen and left.
Su Zhen did not try to persuade them to stay this time, but asked the remaining ministers to continue drinking. The ministers had completed their task and wanted to indulge themselves, so they all ate and drank to their heart's content. The barbecue in the northwest was really delicious with fresh meat.
Xiao Yunjin was riding a horse and hurrying along when suddenly a sharp arrow came galloping towards him. It was hidden in the whistling cold wind and Xiao Yunjin did not notice it until it got close. He leaned back and the arrow feather flew past the tip of his nose.
After dodging one arrow, another one came flying at him. Xiao Yunjin mounted his horse and drew out the soft sword from his waist, blocking three more arrows. The tip of one of the arrows got caught on his soft sword. As he turned around and exerted force, the soft sword turned around with the arrow feather and flew in the direction it came from.
After Xiao Yunjin threw out the arrow, it landed on the back of a galloping horse. Instead of retreating, he rode his horse in the direction of the arrow.
The opponent launched a surprise attack, and then fired three arrows at the same time. The arrows were sharp, illusory and unreal, without any gaps, until all twenty arrows were shot.
No one expected Xiao Yunjin to be so powerful. He actually dodged the rain of arrows and was unharmed when he got close.
Xiao Yunjin recognized at a glance that this man was the one who shot Su Muxi. New and old grudges piled up together, and Xiao Yunjin had the opportunity to vent his frustration for the whole day. He held the soft sword in his hand and killed the other party directly.
The other party was well prepared. Even if the arrows could not hurt him, the assassins in ambush would only wait for Xiao Yunjin to step into the encirclement and then start attacking.
At once, hundreds of killers from all directions attacked Xiao Yunjin at the same time.
Two fists are no match for four hands, let alone hundreds of hands. Xiao Yunjin really didn't expect that the other party would send hundreds of assassins to kill him.
I'm afraid this master of Linglang Pavilion needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Xiao Yunjin was no longer so passionate at this time. Even if he wanted to avenge Su Muxi, he couldn't do it at this moment.
He fought and retreated, broke out in one direction, then suddenly took out something from his arms and sprinkled it out. White powder drifted away with the wind in the blink of an eye. Even though he was wearing a mask, he still covered his mouth and nose out of habit.
Xiao Yunjin took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the encirclement.
While the fighting was going on here, Su Zhen and his men had already rushed back to the Northwest Camp after having a good meal and drink.
Su Muxi reached a deal with He Yuncheng, letting He Yuncheng leave first, and then waiting for the Duke of Zhenguo to return before implementing the follow-up plan.
Su Zhen naturally knew what to do. He sent someone to inform He Yuncheng and told him to send someone back to Beijing now because the princess's illness could not be delayed.
Cang Jue followed Xiao Yunjin's instructions and went to meet the princess first. When he learned that the princess had woken up, he said he had an urgent matter to report about the peace talks.
After Yuanzi reported, he met the princess, who was safe and sound. He felt relieved and told her about the difficulties caused by Feng Kingdom. After dealing with the princess, he went to find the people who were keeping an eye on He Yuncheng, but the report he got was that there was no unusual movement.
Cang Jue did not realize that the person he arranged had been instigated by He Yuncheng. Thinking that nothing had happened, he wanted to go back to find Xiao Yunjin, but he ran into the Duke of Zhenguo who had just returned.
Cang Jue did not find Xiao Yunjin in the crowd. After some questioning, he learned that Xiao Yunjin had left first. Cang Jue realized that something had changed and quickly gathered people to rescue Xiao Yunjin.
Cang Jue left in a hurry and had no idea that Su Zhen had arranged for someone to send Su Muxi and He Yuncheng back to the capital.
Su Muxi and He Yuncheng staggered back to the capital. Su Muxi went to the palace to report. He Yuncheng wrote a letter to Xiao Yunjin, expressing his helplessness. It was the Duke of Zhenguo who forced him to do so, and he had no choice. He wrote a letter every day during the few days he returned to the capital, and sent them to the northwest without interruption.
Xiao Yunjin didn't even look at the letter in his hand, he just rolled it up and threw it out. This action involved his injured part, and the pain made him frown.
He was chased by people from Linglang Pavilion all the way, and by the time he finally got rid of them, Su Muxi had already arrived in the capital.
His injury prevented him from riding a horse for the time being, so he could only sit in a swaying carriage, and was harassed by Linglang Pavilion from time to time. In order to return to Beijing as soon as possible, he had no choice but to dispatch a hundred elite soldiers to escort him.
Now, Linglangge is not coming, but the journey is so slow.
He Yuncheng, this idiot, provoked him with a letter every day. Fortunately, Su Muxi entered the palace and was recuperating there, otherwise he would have vomited to death if she returned to Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
