Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 518 The Sudden Assassin

Just when Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi were worrying about Yang Wanqing's marriage, Yang Wanqing was traveling with her two sisters.

Cangyuan Mountain is located thirty miles southeast of Kyoto. There is Cangyuan Lake at the foot of the mountain. The mountains and waters of Cangyuan Lake are beautiful. It is a rare place for spring outings. Every spring and summer, many wealthy families in Kyoto would come here to play in their spare time, and many scholars also like to recite poems and have fun here.

It was a nice day today, so Yang Wanqing invited her two sisters to go out for fun.

Liang Chu's granddaughter Liang Qiuyue and Lu Shizhi's youngest daughter Lu Ningke.

In a teahouse on the shore of Cangyuan Lake, three young sisters sat in a private room on the third floor, gazing at the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Yang Wanqing was wearing a light blue brocade dress with tight sleeves and a long cowhide whip hanging from her waist. She looked particularly heroic, but her baby fat somewhat ruined her heroic temperament. Her curved eyebrows and chubby cheeks made her look more cute and lovely.

At this moment, she was leaning against the carved wooden window with a listless look on her face, supporting her chin with one hand, looking at the beautiful mountain scenery.

"Sister Wanqing, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad today?" The pretty Lu Ningke looked at Yang Wanqing in confusion.

Liang Qiuyue, who was drinking tea at the side, looked at Yang Wanqing and said with a grin, "What else could it be? She must be worried about her marriage!"

"Oh, I get it. It must be my aunt who forced Sister Wanqing to get married again!" Lu Ningke looked surprised, but looked at Yang Wanqing with amusement in his eyes.

Yang Wanqing tilted her head and sighed, "You guys are just making fun of me."

Her good mother talked about her all night yesterday and said she would introduce some good men to her.

While muttering to her, he also poked her forehead, almost bursting her head.

Lu Ningke walked to the window, glanced at the people having fun below, and said with a smile: "There are quite a few young men here, isn't there any one that Sister Wanqing likes?"

Yang Wanqing glanced down and said with disdain, "Most of these people are just vulgar people who pretend to be cultured. I don't like them!"

Liang Qiuyue came forward and took a look below, "Hey, isn't that Qu Shaogong?"

"Where is Qu Shaogong?" Lu Ningke stretched his head and looked down.

Yang Wanqing also glanced over and saw a few young men in luxurious clothes surrounding a man with eyebrows as dark as emerald green and eyes as bright as stars walking towards the teahouse.

The man was accompanied by a girl in a goose yellow dress, who must be Qu Shaoshang, the Princess of Nanhua.

Yang Wanqing naturally knew Qu Shaogong and Qu Shaoshang. Yesterday, he also followed Wang to the Zhou family's flower-viewing banquet.

However, this Qu Shaogong did not meet her fantasy of a future husband, because Qu Shaogong was a little weak in stature. Although he was quite tall, he looked too much like a bookworm, and was not the upright man she wanted.

Yang Wanqing withdrew her gaze, but at this moment, she suddenly saw a ray of light, as if it was reflected from something.

She looked up subconsciously, her expression paused slightly.

"That is!"

There seemed to be an arrow emerging from the treetops in the distance, and there was also a vague figure hidden among the branches and leaves. It was only because her eyesight was better that she could see it clearly.

Arrows!

She immediately looked in the direction of the arrow and saw that the target was Qu Shaogong and others.

"not good!"

The sound of a bowstring trembling could be heard faintly. Without having time to think, she suddenly jumped up and jumped out of the window.

"Sister Wanqing!" Lu Ningke shouted in shock.

Liang Qiuyue was also stunned, not understanding why Yang Wanqing suddenly jumped out.

Lu Ningke's shout attracted the attention of everyone below. Qu Shaogong looked up and saw Yang Qingwan flying through the air like a flying wild goose.

"careful!"

Yang Wanqing gave a reminder and at the same time swung the long whip at her waist, which hit the flying arrow with a whistling sound.

Qu Shaogong didn't understand what was going on at first. His first thought was what this person was doing, but when he saw the arrow that was broken by the whip, his face suddenly changed.

"There are assassins!"

He stretched out his hand to protect his sister Qu Shaoshang behind him and looked in the direction where the arrow came from.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank sharply.

More than ten arrows flew over again.

Yang Wanqing was in mid-air, her body curled up into a ball, the long whip in her hand turned rapidly, and she snapped the arrows in front of her away.

But how could she block more than ten arrows by herself? An arrow still flew past her side and hit an unlucky young man.

A shrill scream was heard, immediately causing panic among all the people playing nearby.

Just then, seven or eight tall figures appeared in front of Qu Shaogong and Qu Shaoshang.

"Prince, Miss, hurry up!"

At the same time, five figures jumped out from the private room on the third floor of the teahouse.

It was not Lu Ningke and Liang Qiuyue, but the maids and guards around Yang Wanqing.

"Miss, are you okay?"

The maid Baozhu looked at Yang Wanqing anxiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yang Wanqing was not injured.

The other two guards and two maids protected Yang Wanqing in front and behind.

"Hurry up! Go to the teahouse!"

Yang Wanqing didn't waste any time and decisively rushed into the teahouse again.

Just at this moment, more than a dozen figures jumped down from the treetops in the distance, holding weapons, and ran towards this side.

Before Qu Shaogong and the others could rush into the teahouse, this group of people had already rushed to the front of the teahouse.

"kill!"

With a cold shout, more than ten assassins rushed towards Qu Shaogong.

Qu Shaogong had a gloomy expression and looked at the group of assassins with sharp eyes, while the guards around him had already met the assassins.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and the sounds of weapons clashing in front of the teahouse.

Inside the teahouse, Yang Qingwan watched the battle outside, while analyzing the strength comparison between the two sides in her mind.

There are more than ten assassins, and their cultivation base is not low. They should all have the cultivation base of the fifth level or above. Among them, two should have the cultivation base of the eighth level.

The guards around Qu Shaogong are also quite powerful, but there is only one warrior at the eighth level of the acquired realm.

"Can't beat it!"

In a breath, Yang Wanqing judged the difference in strength between the two sides, "Brother Dahu, go get the horse, let's run!"

As someone who had been familiar with the Thirty-Six Strategies since childhood, she naturally knew that among the Thirty-Six Strategies, retreat was the best one.

Although these people are coming for Qu Shaogong, who knows if they will implicate innocent people?
This is not Kyoto, and I don’t know if there is anyone around to help.

"Ning Ke, Qiuyue!" Yang Wanqing did not forget to call her little sisters.

Then they ignored the other people around them and ran towards the backyard of the teahouse. They all came on horseback, and the horses were placed in the stable in the backyard.

There are dozens of horses and many carriages here, all of which were left here by people who come here to travel.

"Brother Dahu, Brother Quan, let go of the horses and lead them out!"

Yang Wanqing jumped onto her own horse, while at the same time letting go of the other horses.

At this point, you should be able to run away by riding the horse, but if you come over to hold the horse, you probably won't have that many chances.

"Sister Wanqing, what's going on?" Lu Ningke asked. She hadn't figured out what was going on yet. "I'll explain it to you later. You go first!" Yang Wanqing glanced at Liang Qiuyue.

Lu Ningke is only fifteen years old this year and is not even a warrior. Liang Qiuyue is older and is already a warrior, and has more ideas than Lu Ningke.

They both had maids and guards around them, but the guards around them were not as good as Li Dahu and Zhang Quan around Yang Qingwan. Even the maids around Yang Qingwan were not as good as them.

Acquired warriors are not easy to come by, especially those above the fifth level. Apart from the Yang family, few of the wealthy and powerful families in Kyoto are willing to let acquired warriors above the fifth level to follow their juniors as guards.

Liang Qiuyue understood Yang Wanqing's intention and quickly said, "Sister Ning Ke, let's go first!"

After saying that, they led the maids and guards and rushed out of the yard.

Yang Wanqing, Li Dahu, Zhang Quan and a few horses ran towards the teahouse.

At this time, the battle in front of the teahouse was still going on, but Qu Shaogong and others had retreated a lot towards the lake. They were stopped by the assassins.

"Mount!"

Yang Wanqing shouted and swung the whip at the same time, which accurately wrapped around Qu Shaoshang's waist. Qu Shaoshang exclaimed and was pulled onto the horse's back by her.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Seeing this, Qu Shaogong did not hesitate and mounted his horse.

"Get on the horse and go!"

He shouted to his friends around him.

At this moment, I couldn't care about anything else and just ran as many as I could.

Several skilled men jumped on their horses and galloped towards Kyoto.

Yang Wanqing was running in the front. She looked back at the battle behind her. Fortunately, the guards around Qu Shaogong were very powerful and stopped the group of assassins.

"Sister, be gentle, I can't breathe!"

Qu Shaoshang's small face in front of her turned red. Yang Wanqing was stunned and quickly loosened her hands that were hugging her chest.

"Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"No!" Qu Shaoshang sat in front of Yang Wanqing, gasping heavily.

Yang Wanqing held the reins in one hand and Qu Shaoshang in the other. Although they were riding one horse, their speed was several points faster than the others. In a moment, they had left the others more than ten feet away.

Yang Wanqing's horse is naturally a descendant of Hong Yun. Although it is not the most powerful horse among the descendants of Hong Yun, it is also a real BMW.

After running for nearly two quarters of an hour, Yang Qingwan finally saw the city gate of Kyoto.

"Hongbao, stop!" She grabbed the reins and called to the horse under her.

Hehehe~~
Hongbao raised his head and neighed, then stopped.

The people behind him also stopped one after another, and the group of people looked in a miserable state.

Qu Shaogong came forward, looked at Yang Wanqing, then looked at Qu Shaoshang who was sitting in front of Yang Wanqing, and immediately felt relieved.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving my life!" He clasped his fists in thanks.

Yang Qingwan nodded, "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me!"

"I'm afraid that today's incident has implicated many innocent people. Prince, you should take people to check on those innocent people as soon as possible!"

Although they escaped, there were still many scholars and young men and women strolling around the Cangyuan Lake. There were also some common people around the teahouse, and there were many waiters and guests in the teahouse.

"I know. I will go to Shangwu Temple to ask for help. I also ask you to help look after my sister!" Qu Shaogong said.

Yang Wanqing looked at the little girl in her arms and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I will take her home. When you are done with your business, you can come to my house to pick her up."

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, young lady. This matter is urgent, I'll go first!"

After saying that, Qu Shaogong nodded to Qu Shaoshang again, then rode his horse and galloped towards the city.

Yang Wanqing looked at his back, then looked at the group of young men behind him. At this moment, she felt that Qu Shaogong's scholarly air had lost a bit.

He acts decisively without any hesitation. Although he looks a little thin, he does not seem to be a weak person.

"Sister, which family are you from?" Qu Shaoshang raised his head, looked at Yang Wanqing and asked.

She is petite and only fifteen years old. Although Yang Qingwan has a baby face, she is very tall, so when she sits next to Yang Wanqing, it is as if Yang Wanqing is holding a little girl.

"Marquis Jing'an's Mansion! Please follow me home first."

Yang Wanqing smiled.

"Okay!" Qu Shaoshang was not shy and snuggled closer to Yang Wanqing's arms.

……

Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

Yang Zhengshan and Wang Mingzhe were refining pills in the pavilion at the back of the mountain.

During these three years, he has not lost his skill in refining pills. Instead, he has been refining various kinds of pills. Now he can refine more than 30 kinds of pills.

Wang Mingzhe has also been learning alchemy and medicine. In alchemy, he is much worse than Yang Zhengshan, but in medical skills, he has surpassed Yang Zhengshan. After all, Yang Zhengshan has not studied medicine systematically, while Wang Mingzhe has been learning from Sun Wanzhen.

The master and the disciple each guarded a stove, fanning themselves with a fan.

"Didn't your father-in-law ask you to come over today?" Yang Zhengshan asked while fanning himself.

If Wang Mingzhe did not go to the guard camp outside the city for training, he would usually go to Sun Wanzhen to learn medicine and alchemy. Now he is considered an apprentice of the Imperial Hospital.

"My father-in-law went to Anhuai yesterday. The King of Anhuai is seriously ill. I guess my father-in-law will have to stay in Anhuai for a while." Wang Mingzhe said lazily, leaning on the railing of the pavilion.

Although this kid is very interested in alchemy and medicine, his lazy nature has not changed.

Yang Zhengshan opened the casserole and took a look at the ointment inside. Feeling that it was almost done, he prepared to turn off the heat and make meatballs.

At this moment, Ding Qiu came over with a serious look on his face, "My Lord, Miss Wanqing was attacked in Cangyuan Lake!"

When Yang Zhengshan heard this, his eyes narrowed and a cold murderous intent instantly burst out.

Wang Mingzhe also shuddered and suddenly looked up at Ding Qiu.

"Are you injured?" Yang Zhengshan asked coldly.

"No, they are all back, and they brought Princess Nanhua back with them!"

"The assassin's target is the prince of Xingguo. Currently, the prince of Xingguo has gone to Shangwu Temple to seek help!"

Ding Qiu quickly explained.

The murderous intent in Yang Zhengshan disappeared in an instant.

"What exactly happened?"

Ding Qiu said: "It's not very clear yet, Miss Wanqing only said this!"

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "Take your people to Cangyuan Lake to have a look."

"Here!"
