Chapter 182 (1/2)

The servants of King Jinying's mansion are all well-trained after all. At the command of Jiang Ruan, they are scattered in succession. All the low skilled young men and maidservants find a place to hide. The martial arts bodyguards ambushed in Xiao Shao's study and bedroom.

Jiang Ruan was sitting in the main hall with a heavy face, and there were about ten guards around him. Housekeeper Lin said anxiously, ”young lady, if you really don't want to leave, at least you have to find a place to hide. Don't leave it here. What can we do when those people come in? ”

”If I find a place to hide, those people who come in to find me will surely hurt the innocent. Why waste their lives in vain. I can also see clearly what they want to do here, whether they want my life, or whether they come to Jinying palace for other purposes. ” Jiang Ruan shook his head.

”It's very dangerous.” Housekeeper Lin has some helplessness. Jiang Ruan's disposition is the same as Xiao Shao's, and nine cows can't get back what he decided. What's more, no one who cherishes his life can do this method of committing danger with his own life. Jiang Ruan totally ignores life and death. This is not a great righteousness. Housekeeper Lin has lived for so many years, and he is very accurate in judging people. It is clear that Jiang Ruan never cares about his own safety. She is fierce in means and ruthless in heart. If she has enough chips to achieve her goal, her life can be traded. But now that Jiang Ruan has made up his mind, it is impossible to change it. Housekeeper Lin sighed and had to ask, ”why did you say that just now? How can people burn down the houses around King Jinying's mansion? ”

”The night is deep, where is anyone else. If we don't bring out some news, we will accept an ambush quietly. These people seem bold, but they only dare to do it at night, presumably to hide people's eyes and ears. Since under the guise of an official, I will not expose him politely. When all the houses in this street are on fire, it is bound to arouse more and more people. At this time, as long as someone shouts again that the robbers are coming, someone must suspect that it is not a small matter to kill and set fire at night. There are not many bodyguards in a house, but there are many bodyguards in every house in a street. Although they may not be able to deal with those people, it is impossible to exterminate them one by one. If they are flustered, they will naturally have scruples. As long as they have scruples, we can find the exit. ”

Housekeeper Lin suddenly realized and said, ”young lady, you have a good idea, but if someone asks the next day, how about the fire? It's immoral to burn people's houses. ”

”What does the fire have to do with us?” When Jiang Ruan asked, housekeeper Lin was stunned. He only heard Jiang Ruan's light Description: ”it's those fake officials who make the noise, and we are also victims. As for Yinde... ” She smile: ”this life is not over, worry about what to do after death, tonight's death is not us.” When it comes to the last sentence, the tone has turned cold, and there is a sense of forest.

Housekeeper Lin calmed down and said, ”what's the matter with the signal bomb? I haven't heard the little lady say ”signal bomb.”

”My cousin and I have been in private all the time,” Jiang Ruan said. ”Xuan Li's attack on King Jinying's mansion in the future will inevitably involve the Zhao family. Now that I am married to King Jinying's house, he will think that the Zhao family should be with the Xiao family. In order to prevent any accident, I have been in secret contact with my big cousin. It's inconvenient for the royal guards to come out tonight, but the Zhao family may not. Xuanli, the soldier of the Zhao family, knows that. The general's residence is not far from here. Since there is a ready-made city garrison, it's a good idea to use the city garrison to kill the bandits disguised as officials. ” Jiang Ruan looked at the tea in front of him: ”they want to ambush the whole Jinying palace to catch turtles in the urn, but I want to use the soldiers of the Zhao family to catch them all. I want the people sent by Xuanli to observe secretly to see all this, and want them to understand that even if there is no Xiao Shao, this Jinying palace is not a place to come and go as soon as they want!”

She said that she was extremely indifferent, but the guards and housekeeper Lin who were ordered to protect her were secretly shocked, and they could not help but admire her in their hearts. At the beginning, the people of Jinying Palace also discussed which woman in the world could match Xiao Shao. In a word, only Yao family's daughter could barely count one. Yao family is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is also extremely intelligent. His appearance and family background are top-notch. But if Xiao Shao married her, what kind of situation would it be today? At least not better than now. That Yao family may have the same wisdom as Jiang Ruan, but she can never be a Jinying Princess like Jiang Ruan. Because the girl who grew up in a rich family is good at dancing, but she is not used to killing. She is used to the tact in the deep house, not the cruel fighting in the dark.

Only those who have experienced extreme pain and danger will have the courage to face any murder. Her heart is extremely tough. It seems that she did not grow up in a big house in the past ten years, but faced with the road paved by countless bloody swords to practice her iron heart.

Housekeeper Lin said: ”I know, I will fight to protect the young lady.”

”You don't protect me,” Jiang Ruan said faintly, ”it's Jinying palace.”

Housekeeper Lin moved in his heart and stopped talking.

……

The fire burst into the sky and burned violently in the night. The crackling sound woke up the sleeping people. The big families in the street began to shout and run out to put out the fire. At the same time, I don't know where it was mixed with the noise: ”come on, robbers kill people!”The panic contained in the voice was instantly transmitted to everyone. Everyone's sleepiness almost all faded at the same time, and the guards in the house ran out with knives one after another. At that time, the whole street was very noisy and noisy.

Xia Qing wakes up vaguely from her sleep, puts on her coat with her slippers and goes out of the room. She looks at the boy who is in a hurry and says: ”what's the matter? Why is it so noisy outside? ”

”Childe, there is water in the house.” The little fellow replied busily.

”Ah?” Xia Qing's drowsiness suddenly wakes up more than half, and says eagerly: ”how can you get out of the water? Is someone hurt? ”

”No The boy touched his head: ”we are not in a big fight here. I don't know what's the matter. All of a sudden, there is water in the house of this street. The slave just heard that there are robbers outside. Young master, you'd better not go out and stay in the room. I'll go to inquire about the news again. ”

”Bandits?” Xia Qing was stunned: ”which robber is so rampant that he burned down the house in a street. It's too deceiving!” Just as he said that, he saw Qi Feng in another room come out in his outer clothes. Qi Feng was obviously more sober than him. Xia Qing said quickly: ”fourth brother, are you also woken up? How can there be robbers? Isn't it peaceful at the foot of the emperor? It's too dangerous. ”

Qi Feng was about to speak when he suddenly made a move and stared at a place in the sky without blinking. Xia Qing followed his eyes and saw clearly the sky in the southwest of Chu. He didn't know when a firework would bloom. The firework was not very big, but the voice was very clear, especially clear at night. Xia Qing was stunned and said, ”when is this? Who has the mind to play with fireworks? Fourth brother, what do you think is going on He turned his head to ask Qi Feng. As soon as he turned his head, he was calmed by Qi Feng's expression. Qi Feng's face was a little pale. He was always calm and shrewd. He said in a low voice, ”something's wrong with her. I have to go and have a look.”

After that, no longer regardless of Xia Qing, turned to go out.

Xia Qing called him: ”fourth brother, where are you going? There are robbers out there

”Shut up.” Qi Feng drank: ”you stay here, don't go out anywhere, don't make trouble for me!” Then he rushed out of the yard and disappeared into the night.

……

Jiang Ruan Fang went to the main hall and listened to the bodyguard from time to time to tell him what the situation was outside. If the fire was really powerful, maybe I didn't expect that so many people would be shocked suddenly. The people outside were obviously crazy. They didn't pretend to be officers and soldiers any more, and they had already broken through. The bodyguards of King Jinying's mansion were all excellent in martial arts, but they didn't get the upper hand for a while. Just outnumbered, the other side is fierce, I'm afraid it won't last long.

Housekeeper Lin was also very anxious. For so many years, Jinying palace has been standing like an iron wall in the capital. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that those people did not dare to move Jinying palace just because Xiao Shao was there. Now that Xiao Shao is away, the Jinying palace is like a shabby house with walls stripped. The glory laid down by the ancestors is gradually fading away. What people fear is the royal guards, Xiao Shao, but not Jinying palace. However, the future hostess of the palace is trying to maintain it with a brave attitude. Seeing Jiang Ruan's cold and calm appearance, housekeeper Lin's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

”Young lady, they have come to the palace!” The bodyguard came to report.

”Stop with all your strength and kill directly. Kill one, kill two, and earn one. ” Jiang Ruan said slowly, ”I'm still sitting here. If anything happens, I'll take care of it.”

She always has a calm tone, seems to be able to accurately grasp the place where people are most likely to change. For example, at this moment, the words immediately aroused the heart of the guards. How can a woman, as a prince, retreat in front of the hungry wolf? Unconsciously, she has become the backbone of the whole Jinying palace. It seems that as long as there is her, there is nothing to be afraid of.

At the moment, however, there was no apparent calm in Jiang Ruan's mind. Even if the general's residence is not far from here, those people must be Xuanli's dead men, and they will not be merciful. If Zhao Yi leads his troops to the courtyard, everything will be unknown. However, no matter what you think in your heart, you can't let out a copy on the surface. Things in the world are most afraid of exposure, but if she looks a little shaken, it will affect the servants of Jinying palace.
