I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 73
In an instant.

A dagger thrust out in vain!
In the blink of an eye, Hai Rui subconsciously took a step back, just in time to avoid the sharp edge!
By a hair's breadth.

A sharp dagger would pierce his lower abdomen.

aside.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yongxin's eyes widened, and fear appeared on his delicate face. He wanted to shout something, but he couldn't make a sound, and his mind went blank.

In the end, the official who was further away reacted first and shouted loudly:

"There are assassins!"

"Protect Master Hai!"

One hit.

The assassins rushed towards Hai Rui with their daggers in their hands, trying to see what was happening!

All of them are agile and have clear goals, obviously they have been planning for a long time!
Seeing this scene, Hai Rui showed an angry face, but he didn't try to be brave, and turned around and ran away.

"Don't let him run away!"

"kill!"

The assassins looked fierce, clutching their daggers, and chased after him.

"Damn it! Get out of the way!"

Hai Rui's guards stomped their feet anxiously when they were blocked by the victims who were receiving porridge.

some time after that.

In front of the city gate of Qinghe County, a rare scene appeared.

A middle-aged man in a long robe was clutching the hem of his clothes, kicking his legs and running fast.

Four or five strong assassins, holding daggers, pursued closely.

Not far away, the catcher of the county government stood where he was, watching with cold eyes.

Among the crowd, the guards were very anxious and drove the victims away with their scabbards.

Qin Yongxin stood there dumbfounded, as if he had been frightened, his mind went blank, and he only felt a buzzing sound in his ears.

It took a long time to come back to my senses, mustered up the courage, and shouted loudly:
"Catch assassins!"

The voice fell.

The guards have rushed out of the crowd and caught up with the assassin!
Although these assassins have undergone certain training, they are still far behind the guards of Xiangguo Mansion!
Less than half a stick of incense.

The guards pinned them to the ground.

Seeing this, Hai Rui relaxed his whole body, put his hands on his knees, and panted heavily.

After a while.

After recovering from his breath, Hai Rui came to the assassins and stared at them expressionlessly.

A total of five assassins all lowered their heads at this moment, not saying a word.

"My lord, give the humble official an hour, and the humble official will definitely interrogate them clearly!"

A guard walked to Hai Rui's side and said so.

Hai Rui remained expressionless, and said coldly, "Kill them all."

"This"

The guard looked puzzled and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, Hai Rui repeated it again.

"Kill now!"

The guard looked puzzled, why he was in such a hurry when he could interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes before killing him.

But hearing Hai Rui's decisive tone, he didn't say any more, and cupped his hands and said:
"Yes! Your lord!"

next second.

The guard drew his sword and walked up to the assassin, without saying a word, raised the sword and dropped it, the head fell to the ground.

The rest of the guards drew their swords at the same time.

Another four heads fell to the ground.

The corpses of the assassins hit the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

at the same time.

At the city gate, an angry voice suddenly sounded.

"In broad daylight, the world is clear, these thieves dare to assassinate the imperial envoy! It's simply audacious and reckless!"

"In any case, this officer must find out who is behind them and bring them to justice!"

Hai Rui and the guards turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform rushing over.

"Lord Hai, I really didn't expect that there would be such vicious people in Qinghe County, and I'm really ashamed that I didn't protect them enough."

The middle-aged man who spoke was none other than the magistrate of Qinghe County, Zhao Youwei.

Hai Rui glanced at him, and said calmly, "Since I started disaster relief, I've seen many such vicious people, it's not surprising."

Hearing this, Zhao Youwei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

After a long time, he laughed twice and said:

"Troublemakers come out of poor mountains and rivers, and Qinghe County is like this. The officials must learn their lesson tonight and send more arrests to protect the adults and atone for their crimes."

Hai Rui said: "I have already made an appointment with Lord Inspector Wang of Qingzhou. We will return to the county seat before tomorrow to attend the dinner party. We will not be staying in Qinghe County tonight."

Zhao Youwei opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

Hai Rui stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "I've made up my mind, Mr. Zhao doesn't need to say more."

After finishing speaking, he no longer looked at Zhao Youwei, but looked at the accompanying officials and guards, and said loudly:

"Today, I'm here to give porridge, pack up my things, and let's try to get back to the county before dark."

"Yes! Your lord!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the officials and guards began to pack their luggage.

Even Qin Yongxin, who was stupefied just now, sensed that something was wrong, stopped being pretentious, and ran to lead the horse.

Less than a stick of incense time.

The group packed up their things.

"My lord, everything is ready."

Hai Rui nodded, looked at Zhao Youwei, and said calmly, "Master Zhao, we will meet later."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, turned around and got into the carriage.

The wheels turned slowly.

A group of people just followed the official road and walked in the direction of the county.

Zhao Youwei stood where he was, watching Hai Rui and his party leave, with an extremely gloomy expression.

Seeing this, a policeman came up to him, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Zhao Youwei glanced at him, without further ado, he just kicked up and scolded: "Useless things! What are you looking for!"

The arrester was kicked quickly, but he didn't dare to say a word, he said in a trembling voice: "Damn the humble job!"

Zhao Youwei stared at him, and it took him a while to calm down, saying: "Send someone to notify Zhao Youli, cut the weeds and roots, and kill them all! Even if it is an egg, it must be shaken to yellow!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

On the official road from Qinghe County to the county seat.

Qin Yongxin was sitting in the carriage, recalling everything that happened before, his face flushed red, and he said in shame: "I really don't live up to expectations, and when I encounter something, I am so scared that I am stupid."

Before he could finish speaking, Hai Rui interrupted:

"Now is not the time to say that."

Qin Yongxin was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What does your lord mean, that Zhao will send people to hunt us down?"

Hai Rui didn't answer.

Seeing this, Qin Yongxin muttered to himself: "It's broad daylight, and it's the official way, so he probably doesn't have the guts."

Hai Rui glanced at him, and said, "The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, people can do anything crazy at the last moment!"

Qin Yongxin was puzzled.

Hai Rui didn't explain to him, but lifted the curtain and asked, "How many miles away?"

The guard said: "My lord, we are twenty miles away from Qinghe County!"

"understood."

Hai Rui lowered the curtain, looked at Qin Yongxin, and asked, "How is your riding skill?"

Qin Yongxin didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question, but he still replied: "It's quite satisfactory."

Hai Rui said, "Then you sit in the back!"

After the voice fell, the carriage gradually stopped.

Hai Rui stepped out of the carriage.

He took out the dagger in his arms and cut the connecting rope.

Aside, the guard saddled the horse again.

Hai Rui got on his horse, looked at Qin Yongxin, stretched out his hand, and said, "Come on!"

Qin Yongxin was startled, without hesitation, he also got on his horse.

Followed by.

The group left all their belongings and galloped in the opposite direction!

On the road.

Qin Yongxin wanted to say it several times.

The Governor of Qingzhou and the County Magistrate of Qinghe, no matter how courageous they are, would not dare to murder the special envoy sent by the imperial court in public.

My lord dropped the luggage and turned the direction again, which was a bit too cautious.

But thinking of his embarrassing performance before.

He was too embarrassed to say that.

until half an hour later.

It is getting farther and farther away from the Qingzhou government.

Qin Yongxin finally plucked up his courage and said, "My lord, I think that even if the governor of Qingzhou and the county magistrate of Qinghe have the courage, they would not dare to murder him."

A sentence is not finished yet.

Suddenly there were rustling sounds from the woods on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, there was a monstrous shout of killing!
"Cut the grass and remove the roots!"

"Don't stay alive!"

"kill!"
