The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 860: Rescue at Night

This result is as real as casting steel or iron.

The ten assassins failed in their mission and had to commit suicide by taking poison. Even though the girl who wanted to conquer Lan Zhijin with her beauty was good at martial arts, she had to retreat when facing the eldest lady of the Meng family whose whip skills were so terrifying.

After all, no matter how skilled the girl is, she cannot compare to the desperate assassins.

What Hu Qiao deduced in his mind was exactly what Cui Yu was thinking.

In addition, Cui Yu also thought about Meng Shisan's marriage. He thought that if her reputation as a bandit spread out, it would be difficult for her to marry into the Eastern Palace, let alone into any aristocratic or high-ranking family in the capital.

And from what he understood, she didn't seem to care about these things that would damage her reputation.

Sometimes she was as shrewd as a thousand-year-old fox, and sometimes she was as reckless as a tiger charging recklessly. He really couldn't see through her completely.

Temperament, floating like clouds in the sky.

This reminded him of Thirteen. She and her Thirteenth Aunt had exactly the same personality.

Seeing that Cui Yu was lost in thought again, Hu Yan gently touched Hu Qiao with his elbow.

Hu Qiao glanced at Hu Yan, then followed Hu Yan's line of sight to look at his own Seventh Master. He turned around and gave Hu Yan a look of contempt.

Hu Yan was so angry that he wanted to punch Hu Qiao, but he couldn't do that in front of Cui Yu, so he had to speak in a muffled voice: "Seventh Master, will I still follow you to the inn?"

"Didn't he go to the Crown Prince's private residence? There's no need to follow. The Second Prince's abacus has already been used up." Cui Yu answered Hu Yan's request, but his mind was still thinking about what Meng Shisan's mind was on, or where the focus was.

Huang Jing took Lan Zhijin to Li Shou's private residence overnight. Meng Shisan was afraid that something unexpected might happen after he returned to the Meng Mansion, so he asked Feng Zheng to go there as well.

Feng Zheng's injuries have healed greatly and he is basically fine. On the contrary, Baozhu, who was injured earlier, still has some weakness in his left hand due to his weak body and he is not a martial artist, so he is still recuperating.

Feng Zheng was bought by Cui when she was young. She learned martial arts and became a soldier. Later, she became a member of a group led by Nie Bin under Cui Yu. Afterwards, she changed her master and became Meng Shisan's martial maid. In the past twenty years, this time was the longest time she had spent recuperating from her injuries.

Of course, this was also the first time in her life that she was seriously injured and almost died.

According to her plan, she would have recovered long ago and would have been able to work for the young lady long ago. However, the young lady did not allow her to work before her injury was fully healed, so she had to recuperate until recently when she was allowed to go on a mission.

The night wind was bleak tonight and there was a light snowfall. The ground was covered with silver and sprinkled with a layer of moonlight. She tiptoed lightly from a high place, ran up and down, and reached Li Shou's private residence as quickly as possible.

The lady said that the mission of this trip was to protect the magistrate of Fangshan.

What if Shi Que was assassinated right after being cured by Lan Zhijin? Wouldn’t that be a waste of the efforts of Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin in using their medical skills in two battles?

This was not her first time entering Li Shou's private residence, but it was the crown prince's private residence after all, so she had to behave properly when entering. So she knocked on the copper ring on the door of Li Shou's private residence in the middle of the night.

The doorman answered the door. He didn't recognize Feng Zheng: "You are..."

Feng Zheng took out the Meng Mansion sign that Meng Shisan gave her and said, "I am from the Meng Mansion. My lady asked me to protect Lord Shi."

Her voice was not loud, and she even tried to lower it, but in the quiet night, the concierge could still hear the nervousness on her face: "Keep your voice down!"

Feng Zheng nodded, and this time she simply didn't say anything.

"Wait a moment." The doorman closed the door and turned back to report to Butler Lu.

Because of the visit of Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin, Steward Lu, who should have gone to bed, was now sitting in the quiet residence of the guest house in the front yard, waiting for the results of the magic treatment of Shi Que. When he heard the doorman coming to report Feng Zheng's family name, he hurriedly got up from the stone bench and said, "Hurry and invite him in." He was very familiar with Feng Zheng's name.

After all, Feng Zheng was severely injured by Li Heng and was left with only one breath. After being thrown back outside the gate of the Meng Mansion, the eldest lady of the Meng Mansion took two people to the private residence of the second prince and killed all of the second prince's followers overnight.

From this we can see that Feng Zheng holds a very important position in Miss Meng's heart.

He came here at night because Miss Meng must have something important to tell her and asked Feng Zheng to come over. He didn't dare to let Miss Meng down.

And there is another possibility. What Miss Meng asked Feng Zheng to do might be related to Shi Que's life or death.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't delay any longer and had to stop the person from entering the door.

Feng Zheng was invited in, and the doorman respectfully led her into the quiet residence, the courtyard of Shi Que's bedroom.

Seeing Steward Lu, Feng Zheng crossed his arms and saluted: "Standard Lu."

Steward Lu also crossed his hands and replied, "Miss, you came here late at night, but what do you want, Miss Meng?"

"My young lady ordered me to protect Lord Shi." Feng Zheng answered truthfully. Even though she seemed to be looking down on the guards inside and outside the mansion, she still spoke frankly.

Anyway, her young lady has done this kind of thing more than once or twice, so the butler Lu in front of her is probably used to it.

Steward Lu was indeed accustomed to Meng Shisan's way of doing things, and said cheerfully, "Miss Meng is always cautious."

Feng Kite nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, Shi Lianchun heard the sound of a kite. She opened the door next to Shi Que's bedroom and walked out: "Kite."

"Ms. Shi, Miss Huang." Feng Zheng bowed.

Shi Lianchun was not alone, Huang Jing followed her, and the two of them walked into the yard.

Lan Zhijin was using his medical skills to save people in Shiqiu's house. Shi Lianchun was restless, but Huang Jing was calm and composed. After all, he had to try his best, but whether he could bring the patient back to life in the end depended on God's will.

There's no use worrying.

"Why should I ask you to come when I'm here?" Huang Jing felt that with her as the demon-slayer, she had both the skills and the magic. In her opinion, Meng Shisan didn't need to worry at all and didn't need to let Feng Zheng make this trip.

Feng Zheng glanced at Shi Lianchun and said to Huang Jing, "It won't hurt to have one more person to protect Lord Shi."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lianchun nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Yaoyao has thought it through very well!"

Huang Jing also glanced at Shi Lianchun. After all, she and Shi Lianchun were not very familiar with each other, and were far from being familiar enough for Shi Lianchun to trust Meng Shisan. Now that she saw the capable people sent by the person she trusted, Shi Lianchun's heart, which had been hanging in the air, was suddenly settled a lot.

Okay, she understands.

She was generous and didn't care. It was clearly Shi Lianchun who begged her and Lan Tulu to save his father, but in the end, it was not her and Lan Tulu who he trusted the most, but someone else.

Even though this was someone else, she herself had an inexplicable trust.

Shi Lianchun was a beat slower to notice Huang Jing's emotions: "I..."

She was about to explain, but Huang Jing raised his hand to interrupt her: "No need to say more, I understand."
