Tibetan beads

Chapter 260 Assassination
Yu Manqing has been out for a while.

Madam Yu was a little uneasy and looked outside frequently.

"What are you doing?" Yu Chong asked with a frown.

Madam Yu said in a low voice, "Qing'er hasn't come back yet."

Yu Chong didn't take it seriously: "She's not a child, she's surrounded by guards, is she still afraid of accidents?"

Today the emperor is traveling, and the imperial army is dispatched.There are Jinwu Guards on the outside of Da Guangming Temple, and Long Xiang Guards inside. These are Yu Chong's forces, of course he is confident.

Mrs. Yu said, "She has a different status now, so it's impossible to guard against her backyard methods."

Yu Chong thought about it, this is not wrong.For example, on Girl's Day, that Miss Xu San was almost set up by Concubine Shu. If she hadn't been washed downstream by the water, her reputation would have been ruined, and she could only withdraw from the circle of the capital sadly.This kind of method cannot be defended by the guards, it is better to be careful.

"Then you send someone to find her..." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yu Manqing's personal servant girl walking in.

"Master, Miss..." She leaned over and whispered a few words.

Yu Chong looked at her suspiciously: "Did Miss really ask you to pass the message?"

The servant girl replied: "If it wasn't for the young lady's order, how would the slaves dare to make their own decisions?"

Madam Yu asked, "What happened?"

Yu Chong pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll go out for a while."

"Hey..." Madam Yu watched him go out.

After leaving the colorful shed, there was no one else around, so Yu Chong immediately asked, "What's going on? Did the young lady say it on her own initiative, or was she held hostage?"

The servant girl said in a daze: "The palace man called the servant girl over, and the young lady said it herself."

Even if it is personally, there is no guarantee that someone has not been held hostage.

Yu Chong has several sons, but only one daughter, and the sons are all a bit dull, and they don't understand his mind as well as Yu Manqing.What's more, in his plan, his daughter has an extremely important position, and no matter what happens, she must not be allowed to have an accident.

He asked, "Where is the appointment?"

The servant girl replied: "It's right next to the Jingxin Pavilion."

Yu Chong thought about it for a while, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.The Jingxin Pavilion was guarded by imperial guards all around, as long as he yelled, he could call people here, so it was not a dangerous place.

It really doesn't sound like a trap for the other party to choose there.

However, holding Yu Manqing to force him to go to the appointment still made Yu Chong very unhappy.

He motioned for the servant girl to lead the way, and said: "What did the lady say, don't miss a single word, tell me in detail."

"Yes."

……

Inside the Jingxin Pavilion, the servants are serving attentively.

Tea and snacks are all available, and even a basin of ice cubes is prepared to prevent her from being stuffy.

Yu Manqing waved his fan slowly, thinking to himself, Prince Duan is indeed a careful person, and this meeting is also quite sincere, if there is a good result, then...

"Why hasn't your master come yet?" she asked.

The servant girl glanced at the river and said, "I'm afraid I've been caught by something, so I'm going to have a look now, servant girl?"

Yu Manqing nodded: "My father has always been stubborn, so he only has one chance. If he can't be persuaded this time, there will be no next time."

She didn't dare to say, in fact, asking the servant girl to pass on the message was intended to mislead her father, making him think that she might be kidnapped.

This matter was done a bit out of line, Yu Manqing knew that it was impossible to do it again.If King Duan cannot reconcile with his father, there will be absolutely no next time.

——This is her ulterior motive, and she will not allow it to happen next time.

Inside the restaurant, Xu Yin saw the servant girl retreating from the Jingxin Pavilion, and made an inconspicuous gesture.

"Get ready," she said softly.

The sharp archer in front of the other window moved at the same time as her, pressing down on the arrow and clasping the hanging knife with his fingers.

Between the branches and leaves, Yu Chong appeared, and he walked slowly towards the pavilion under the guidance of the maid.

"Qing'er!"

Hearing the voice, Yu Manqing hurriedly stood up, watching his father walking over there nervously.

"Father."

Yu Chong glanced over and asked, "Are you not being held hostage?"

Yu Manqing shook his head.

"That……"

"He just left." Yu Manqing couldn't help defending himself, "The other party is not considered a threat, but my daughter is thinking about her boudoir reputation, and she is afraid of causing trouble, so she didn't dare to speak up."

After hearing these words, Yu Chong felt relieved and said, "Did King Duan invite you here?"

Yu Manqing replied: "The maidservant who spread the message told about the enmity between our two families. My daughter expected that Prince Duan's Mansion would not spread this matter, because it is true."

"What about the others?"

"The servant girl has gone, I think it's because I can't get away for a while, so..."

Yu Chong looked towards the river, the second round of the dragon boat race was going on now, Duan Wang had finished the first round, so he could rest for a while, but...

Suddenly, something flashed in Yu Chong's mind, and he shouted, "Not good!"

After saying that, he pulled Yu Manqing and walked back.

Yu Manqing was stunned: "Father?"

Yu Chong just thought of one thing.Duan Wang has just finished his limelight, and now he sneaks out to meet, isn't it too eye-catching?The power of this idle prince has never been known, so it can be seen that he is good at hiding himself, so he should not choose such an opportunity to meet.

Anyway, avoid it first.Even if he really overthinks it, anyway, it is Duan Wang who is eager to reconcile, not him!
Just as the father and daughter stepped out of the Jingxin Pavilion, Xu Yin from the restaurant shouted, "Do it!"

After the words fell, several crossbow arrows shot out at the same time!

Yu Chong had experienced many battles, and felt the danger at this moment, pushing Yu Manqing was a dodge.

It's a pity that it was still a little late, several crossbow arrows flew back and forth, some brushed past his arms, some were knocked down by his sleeves, and one pierced hard into his shoulder.

"Ah!" Yu Chong pressed his shoulder and yelled, "Come on!"

It's a pity that it wasn't the Forbidden Army around that came first, but the next wave of arrows.

The biggest advantage of the crossbow is that the launch preparation time is short, and multiple arrows can be fired at the same time.

At this time, Xu Yin didn't care about the aim anymore, as long as the arrows were enough and fast enough, no matter how he dodged, he would be dead!

A row of arrows was loaded quickly, Yu Chong had just taken two steps, "swish swish" arrows flew in one after another, at first he flashed several times, but the arrows were too dense, and he was hit by another arrow .

"Father!" Yu Manqing was startled and shouted loudly, but she didn't dare to rush forward.

Before the words fell, the third wave of arrows arrived again.This time Yu Chong failed to dodge in time, an arrow pierced his heart fiercely, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.

And the surrounding guards rushed over here just now.

"Miss San!" Xiao Sang shouted excitedly, "I've won! He's won!"

"Yeah." Xu Yin calmly loaded the last row of arrows, and added another shot.

Most of this wave of arrows hit Yu Chong's body, his body twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

When the noise started, she calmly let go of the crossbow: "Let's go!"
