Concubine's true colors

Chapter 197

Hearing that Xiao Jinxuan wanted to borrow someone again, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help frowning, and asked tentatively:
"Miss Si, don't you suspect that the person who assassinated you this time is someone in the commander's mansion who wants to attack you?"

Xiao Jinxuan nodded decisively without any hesitation.

"That's right, I do have such suspicions. To tell you the truth, this is actually the second time I've been assassinated. After two rounds, the timing of these assassins' actions is so accurate, they must know my exact whereabouts." , and if you want to do this, it must be someone in the commander's mansion who can accurately grasp my travel time."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Jinxuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and continued to analyze cautiously:
"Whether it was the old lady or the eldest aunt who did it, I'm not sure yet, or maybe unclean people came in from outside the commander's mansion. It's all possible. But I left the palace that day. I just appointed a little eunuch in advance and reported it back to the commander's mansion, it is impossible for outsiders to know when I will leave the palace, let alone follow me halfway, and the driver will assassinate me."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui said in a rather acceptable interface:

"Miss Si is right. In fact, this time when I was assassinated, I had doubts about Empress Xue. Only now that I think about it, she had fought against Xianyu in Yanqing Palace. At this time, she would easily cause trouble for me. Therefore, the possibility of Empress Xue sending someone to assassinate him can basically be ruled out, then the remaining possibility, it is estimated that the problem is indeed in the commander's residence."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes glowed coldly, and she said in a cold voice:

"It seems that it is really necessary to clean up the commander's mansion. Now not only His Highness has planted partridges in the mansion, I am afraid that many forces from all sides have also planted a lot of eyeliners in. If these people are not eliminated, I will It’s really hard to sleep or eat.”

In fact, Zhou Xianrui was able to instigate Jin Chuan to become his own person, and Xiao Jinxuan had already guessed that there must be someone else's eyeliner in the handsome mansion.

In fact, after the old lady collapsed and Xiao Jinyu was kicked out of the commander's mansion to get rid of these people, it was time for Xiao Jinxuan to deal with them.

It's just that in the recent period, she has been tired of love and tired of worrying, so this matter has been delayed.

Thinking about it now, Xiao Jinxuan really regretted it very much. If she had taken the time to remove all the hidden dangers in the handsome mansion earlier, perhaps this assassination would not have happened.

But in the final analysis, Xiao Jinxuan is not a sage who knows the future. Now that she has made a mistake, what she can do is to make up for the loophole as soon as possible, so that those villains hiding in the dark will not have a chance to harm her.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui were about to make detailed plans, someone pushed away from the half-hidden room.

Then Niu Jing strode in, and behind him was Wen Xin who came from the commander's mansion yesterday.

As soon as the two came in, Niu Jing went to salute Zhou Xianrui, but Wen Xin didn't care about these things, and rushed to Xiao Jinxuan's side anxiously, and asked anxiously:

"Jinxuan, you are awake. Do you feel uncomfortable now? Yesterday I received a notice from Prince Rui, saying that you were seriously injured and unconscious. I was scared to death by you. Who did it, but the one who assassinated you last time?" The coachman."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly signaled that she was fine, nodded and said intently;
"You guessed right, although I didn't see the face of the coachman last time, but the assassin who escaped last this time, no matter the voice or the figure, is definitely the same person, and I just talked about it with His Highness Prince Rui. I suspect that the other party knows my whereabouts very well, and there must be someone in the mansion supporting him, so after Prince Rui ordered the guards to be lent to me, Wen Xin, let's go back to the mansion immediately, and we must eradicate all these killers hiding in the dark one by one. .

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, Niu Jing, who came with Wen Xin, patted her chest immediately, stared at her eyes like copper bells, and said in a loud voice:

"Miss Jinxuan, if you want to employ people, the brothers left by me and the Beijing military camp can be transferred at will. Tell me, when we act, I will also see, what kind of bastards dare to hurt you?" My lord, when the time comes, Lao Niu, I will definitely use a double mace to cut off the heads of these bastards."

Niu Jing is the head of a hundred households in the Beijing military camp. As the name suggests, there are as many as a hundred soldiers under his command. Now he is catching up with his team to go to the city to take charge of patrolling. They all gathered in Yuwang's mansion, and they could be transferred at any time after listening.

And Niu Jing's words, although rough and unkempt, hearing Xiao Jinxuan's ears immediately made her happy.

"If Mr. Niu is not afraid of wading through the muddy water, then it would be more reasonable for you to bring someone back to the commander-in-chief's mansion with me. After all, you are from the Beijing military camp and Zhou Xianyu's direct soldiers. Now that he is assassinated and injured, it is logical for you to arrest the assassin. Afterwards, no one can find anything wrong with it. It's just that I'm going back to the commander's mansion with me this time, but I want to offend others, are you really willing to go with me?"

Hearing this, Niu Jing didn't care, and shook his head vigorously, then with a grin on the corner of his mouth, he said viciously:
"Miss Jinxuan is Miss Qianjin. On the day His Highness draws the sword, you will be able to ignore your own injuries and stay by your side all the time. Based on this, just order what you have, let alone offend others, for the sake of my lord." , even if I took my life, Lao Niu, what a big deal it is!"

This soldier is born with no scheming city government like civil officials and scholars. As long as it is what they think is right, people who are pleasing to the eye will throw their heads and blood and risk their lives. And this is also a battle. Soldiers on the battlefield are the most worthy of admiration and admiration.

And Xiao Jin knew very well that the assassins lurking in the commander's mansion would have an extra chance of escaping if they delay for a moment.

In addition, she is not a procrastination person, so she immediately let everyone go out first, and after she tidied up her clothes, she immediately returned to the commander's mansion to clear out all the people in the dark.

So from the time Xiao Jinxuan started changing clothes, when she led Niu Jing's more than a hundred subordinates to the gate of the handsome mansion, the general also used up half a stick of incense.

Xiao Jinxuan's style of handling things has become more and more vigorous and resolute after being tempered time after time after her rebirth.

But now, it will be noon, so the door of the Shuai Mansion is wide open. Just like last time during the Lantern Festival, Xiao Jinxuan didn't say a word of nonsense, and kept waving her right hand, and asked Niu Jing to lead the team and go directly to the Rushed inside the mansion.

And it was exactly the same as last time, just after Niu Jing went in here, the guard came out immediately. Coincidentally and interestingly, the guard on duty today was still the night of the Lantern Festival, and Xiao Jinxuan led someone to break in, and he was scared to death The four servants of the Xiao family.

As the saying goes, if you are born once, you are familiar with it twice. They have experience in dealing with the guards breaking into the mansion last time. Although these four people secretly called it unlucky in their hearts, they calmly stepped forward to stop and ask.

And he secretly guessed in his heart, it could not be that concubine lady Xiao Jinxuan who caused the battle this time, there are really more people breaking into the mansion today than last time.

These four people were thinking wildly in their heads, but Xiao Jinxuan's figure had jumped into their eyes, and she raised her eyes to glance over at them.

Seeing that it was really Xiao Jinxuan, and bringing someone back to the mansion again, the four guards immediately said "Ouch" in their hearts, closed their eyes and did not stop them, and immediately turned around and went to the back of the mansion as if they had made an agreement. ran away.

After all, Xiao Jinxuan's fierce and threatening words last time will still be fresh in the memory of the four of them. Coupled with Niu Jing's fierce face, they don't want to lose their lives just because they tried to stop them, so they hurriedly Report back to the masters of the courtyards, that is the best choice.

And this time, Xiao Jinxuan was the same as last time, and did not stop the four guards from leaving. Anyway, she must search the house today, and it will definitely alarm everyone. Instead of her inviting them one by one, it is better to ask everyone to gather by themselves Come here, and save her trouble.

Then I saw Xiao Jinxuan looking at Niu Jing, and then said calmly:

"Lord Niu, please trouble you and your brothers. Guard all the entrances and exits of the commander's mansion. Without my order, no one in the mansion is allowed to speak. If you see anyone acting suspiciously, take them down on the spot." I'm talking."

Seeing that Niu Jing did as he said, Xiao Jinxuan turned her head again, looked at Wen Xin who was on the side, with a glint in her eyes, and said in a cold tone;
"Don't follow me now, go find Jin Chuan, and ask her to call me the old woman who gave Xiao Ling the needle torture during the sneaking incident last time, and prepare all the corresponding court rods and boards for me. Move to the outside of the main hall, if you really catch suspicious people, these things must be useful."

After ordering everything, Xiao Jinxuan walked towards the main hall alone. This is the place where the commander-in-chief's mansion discusses matters and guests. It is very solemn and spacious. Whenever there are important matters in the mansion, they usually gather here to discuss and decide.

Instruct the maid who is in charge of cleaning the main hall on weekdays to light the incense burner and prepare tea. After Xiao Jinxuan has made all the arrangements, within a short time of the meeting, she saw Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Chen walking side by side, in a hurry Came here.

As soon as she entered the main hall, Shen looked at Xiao Jinxuan anxiously, because she knew about the assassination of the other party yesterday evening, and she was so scared that she even dropped the cup in her hand to the ground.

But before Shen shi could ask her a question, Zhao shi jumped past her and glared at Xiao Jinxuan with an angry face.

"Okay, okay, Jinxuan, you can still sit still, and now you have brought people around to surround the commander's mansion. Do you still have my aunt in your eyes? Don't forget, who is this commander's mansion now?" Be in charge!"

Picking up the tea brewed at the table, Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhao upon hearing this, then lowered her head and took a sip of tea calmly. It was not until the other party questioned her again that Xiao Jinxuan took her time. said:
"It is true that I brought the men and horses, and I also ordered the commander's mansion to be surrounded. As for who is in charge of this mansion, my niece knows it very well, so there is no need for my aunt to remind me again and again."

Today's Zhao family has been in charge of the commander-in-chief's mansion for a long time, and the easy-going and upright nature of the other party has become weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the posture of a one-size-fits-all superior is now getting stronger and stronger.

And when Xiao Jinxuan saw Zhao Shi, because of her calm attitude and even more angry face, she lowered her head and smiled lightly, then continued in a concentrated voice:
"Don't worry, Auntie, I didn't intend to target you today. You must have known about my assassination, and His Royal Highness was also seriously injured, and he is still in a coma. Those assassins are so prepared to know my whereabouts. Presumably, it must have been revealed by people in the mansion. If the assassin's secret agent is not found out from the mansion, Jinxuan will feel really uneasy, let alone give an explanation to Yu Wang's subordinates. Therefore, if the eldest aunt is willing to cooperate today, all of us It’s okay to say, but if you insist on resisting, then your niece can only offend you!”
