Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 128

Pei Xuan stayed in Yan Zhaohua's Qingque Residence for more than an hour. The two of them seemed to have endless words, as if they would not be tired at all just looking at each other. , Pei Xuancai had no choice but to leave, one window and the other outside, holding hands crookedly to settle the amount, Pei Xuan said: "When your father goes to Prince Gong's Mansion, I will come to send Geng Tie as soon as possible."

Yan Zhaohua nodded: "Well, I'll wait for you."

Pei Xuan came over and kissed her on the forehead: "I really have to leave. If I don't leave, it will be dawn."

Yan Zhaohua laughed at his words: "Be careful, since my father noticed it last time, there are more guards in the mansion."

Pei Xuan also felt that Changning Houfu's defense has indeed increased a lot recently, but he didn't want to worry Yan Zhaohua, so he only comforted: "Don't worry, you won't be discovered."

The two bid farewell again, and Pei Xuan stepped out of the window sill, took out a black scarf from his lapel, covered his face, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Pei Xuan followed the original path back. He walked this path many times without any problems, but he didn't expect that tonight, it alarmed the guards of the Marquis of Changning. A group of guards were arranged on the roof, and they were all guarding the roof from Haishi to dawn the next day. When Pei Xuan came, it was not yet Haishi, so he didn't notice this, but now he is blocked. Fortunately, Pei Xuan is good at it , with a black scarf on his face, so he didn't expose his identity.

"Come on, catch the assassin!"

With a loud call, Yan Xiu also rushed out of the house. During these days, he always felt that the inside and outside of the Hou Mansion were not peaceful. Perhaps it was because of the intuition of many soldiers who had been cultivated on the battlefield, so he was extra sensitive, sensitive, and cautious. He felt that the person who passed by Changning Hou's Mansion last time would come again, but that person was so skilled that he didn't leave any clues, and Yan Xiu stopped him several times, so he thought of sending someone to watch on the roof. Unexpectedly, he was caught.

For a while, the torches of the Changning Hou Mansion were brightly lit, and the guards rushed towards the source of the sound with their weapons in hand.Pei Xuan's qinggong is good, and his skills are also very good. The key is not to hurt anyone, but it is not that easy for the guards of Changning Hou Mansion to catch him. Seeing this, Yan Xiu took the long sword from the guard's hand , went into battle in person, and fought against masked Pei Xuan.

It's not that Pei Xuan can't beat Yan Xiu, it's just that he can't!Who is this, the future Lord Taishan, although he has a criminal record of murder and frame, but that was before the relationship with Zhaohua was confirmed, now the relationship is confirmed, and everything that should be said has been said, if you do something to him again Therefore, Pei Xuan was forced to retreat step by step by Yan Xiu, and he was about to lose. Pei Xuan thought that it would not work if he continued like this. If he continued to fight, the situation would be very unfavorable to him. Well, not many people in Beijing know that once it is exposed, there will be countless troubles. Secondly, Pei Xuan can't guarantee that if he continues to fight, he will not be caught by Yan Xiu when he is so restrained.

A quick fight is the right thing to do, so he simply found a flaw in Yan Xiu's hand, and directly blocked the sword that Yan Xiu swung. He was punched in the shoulder, and couldn't help pressing his shoulder and took two steps back. Seeing that the assassin was about to run away, Yan Xiu shouted: "Don't let him run away."

But when he yelled, Pei Xuan had already calculated the route, and he lost his good temper when he dealt with those nagging guards. After some furious beatings, he rushed out of the encirclement and flew onto the roof again, avoiding the roof The two guards on the roof swept past in the opposite direction, and the two guards on the roof hurriedly chased after him. Yan Xiu also turned on the roof and watched the man in black disappear into the darkness. Obviously not the opponent, he stomped heavily on the ridge of the roof, the tiles cracked and rolled into the yard, a female voice called back Yanxiu's attention.

She saw Yan Zhaohua walking out of the corridor in a well-groomed nightgown with her hair tied back in a bun. The tiles suddenly fell off, which startled her.

Yan Xiu jumped down and said to Yan Zhaohua, "Why are you up? Are you not hurt?"

Yan Zhaohua looked in the yard now, and made sure that Pei Xuan was not caught by these people, so he calmed down a little, and replied to Yan Xiu: "I heard the shouting, and I didn't worry about it, so I came over to have a look. I'm not hurt, is daddy alright? Is there an assassin coming?"

Yan Xiu looked up again, knowing that he couldn't catch the man this time, he was really annoyed, but he was afraid of scaring his daughter, so he pointed to the study room to Yan Zhaohua, and the father and daughter went in to talk. Uncle continued to mobilize the guards in the courtyard to arm.

"I don't know if it's an assassin. This person has come here several times, but he hasn't hurt anyone. I don't know what his ultimate goal is. You should be careful when you go in and out these days. Our Hou Mansion has been too busy recently, and some people are jealous. Be sure to wait for the guards and be more careful when you go out." After thinking about it, Yan Xiu felt that someone was watching him. It must be because of the recent promotion of the Changning Marquis Mansion and the fact that it was so popular that some people were jealous and wanted to use it secretly. Small night means.

Hearing Yan Xiu's doubts, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and said calmly, "Yes, my daughter must be more careful, and so is my father. Don't let anyone take advantage of you."

Since Yan Xiu was so skeptical, Yan Zhaohua was happy to guide him like this. It would be better for Yan Xiu to doubt other people than to make him doubt Pei Xuan.Yan Zhaohua himself also felt a little ashamed of helping others to plot against his father before he was married, but...who asked her to maintain Pei Xuan's image.

During this period of communication, Yan Zhaohua also gradually understood Pei Xuan's interest in work. On the surface, he was serving as a civil servant in the cabinet, but secretly he was helping the emperor deal with some difficult issues. A secret identity is enough, and Pei Xuan has been weak since he was a child, and he is very talented in writing. No one would have thought that such a 'weak' scholar would do those things behind the scenes, so in summary As mentioned above, Pei Xuan's identity must not be exposed.

At this moment, Uncle Yan reported outside the door that the person who had chased the assassin had returned, Yan Xiu went out, and said to Yan Zhaohua as he walked: "It's too late, you should go back first. I'm fine here, Don't worry, there are a lot of guards in the mansion, from top to bottom, I will temporarily transfer some from the patrol battalion tomorrow, and I must catch the assassin."

After saying this, without waiting for Yan Zhaohua to react, Yan Xiu stepped out of the door, and the two guards knelt on the porch: "Master Hou, that man's footsteps are too fast, and the subordinates can't keep up."

This is expected, and Yan Xiu never thought that these two guards could catch up to such an expert: "Which direction is he going? Where have you been following?" After a certain distance, maybe there will be some clues.

But the two guards looked at each other, and one of them clasped their fists and said, "The subordinates chased eastward first, but after a while, the man disappeared. It seemed that he had turned his direction, but...we didn't catch up." , and split up to chase him, but I didn’t see him running in any direction.”

When Yan Zhaohua came out, he heard what they said, and he finally let go of his hanging heart. Then he blessed Yan's body and went back to Qingqueju from the corridor on the left.

In the corridor, Yan Xiu and the others were still analyzing.

Yanbo said: "Master Hou, I don't think that assassin may be an assassin. At the beginning, he didn't use his full strength against us. If it was an assassin, how could the guards of the Hou residence not be injured by his skill? Woolen cloth?"

Yan Xiu also agreed with Yan Bo's words. Of course, he sensed that the assassin was very merciful to him. Even when he showed his weakness in the end, he just stretched out his hand to block it. But he didn't, he just tried to hurt himself, it seems that his purpose was not to kill or hurt people, maybe he just came to monitor, and he hasn't received the order to kill or hurt people...

Yan Xiu couldn't help thinking about the scene at that time. Judging by the figure, he should be a young man. Looking at the whole capital, there are not many young people with such skills. Even if they enter the barracks, they may not be able to find such a young man. There are a few of them, but those few people have no grievances or enmity with him, so why do such a thing?

Yan Xiu had doubts about many people in his mind, even the mighty Marquis Tan Cheng, but in the end he found that all his doubts were groundless wild thoughts, wild guesses, and after much deliberation, he felt that it was too bizarre.

And a few miles away from the Marquis of Changning, Pei Xuan leaned against a flowering wintersweet tree, lifted the black cloth on his face, and exhaled a mouthful of white mist. In the cold winter, he was so hot that he wanted to take off his clothes , looked down at the wound on the back of his hand, and there was a wry smile on his face. Everyone said that peony flowers die, and being a ghost is also romantic. He didn't understand the meaning of that sentence at the beginning, but now he understands it somewhat. Yu, he really worked hard.

However, thinking of the soft and jade-like incense, Pei Xuan felt that no matter what he did, it was worth it.After confirming that those people did not follow, Pei Xuan calmed down and set foot on the way home.
