Queen's Development

Chapter 52 Salvation
Lin Jia stared at Hu Yingzhi without moving.

Who knows if this is another trap?

The lantern in Kunpeng's hand gave off a dim yellow halo, illuminating Hu Yingzhi's beautiful face like a person in a painting.

With a sincere smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Lin Jia quietly.

He had already made a choice between killing Lin Jia and taking refuge in Lin Jia, so he would naturally stick to his choice.

At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside, followed by the conversation of several men:

"Is it really this alley?"

"It's this alley!"

"Could it be hidden in some family? Do you want to search next to each other?"

Yuzhi heard the conversation outside the door, felt a little scared in her heart, and couldn't help trembling.

Looking at Lin Jia's statue-like handsome face and thin outline, she knew that she had to be brave and protect Lin Jia, so she took a deep breath and reached out to hold Lin Jia's hand.

Lin Jia's hands were as usual, slender and cold.

Yuzhi held her breath, and heard the following sentence - "... don't startle the snake just now"!
The voice of the voice gradually became inaudible as the footsteps became farther and farther away.

Hu Yingzhi waved his hand lightly: "Master Lin, please!"

Kunpeng was busy leading the way with a lantern.

Lin Jia reached out to hold Yu Zhi's hand, and led her forward.

Maybe there were wolves before and tigers behind, but isn't life like this, no matter what, even if he is about to die, before he dies, he must do his best to protect Yuzhi!

Yu Zhi was taken aback, looked up at Lin Jia, and then came up with an explanation in her head—Lin Jia must be too scared, and wanted to absorb energy from me!

Thinking of this, she was relieved, and walked forward happily being held by Lin Jia.

Hu Yingzhi walked behind, watching Lin Jia and Yuzhi holding hands, feeling very complicated.

Kunpeng lit a lantern and led the crowd into Hu Yingzhi's study.

Lin Jia was fine, as soon as Yuzhi entered, she was sweating from the heat, and said, "It's so hot!"

Hu Yingzhi looked at Yuzhi suspiciously: "Is it really that hot?"

Yuzhi nodded honestly: "It's really hot!"

Hu Yingzhi first asked Lin Jia to sit down, and then told Kunpeng: "Open the window!"

Kunpeng walked over and pushed the window open.

Hu Yingzhi, who was sitting by the window, felt a little cold, and wrapped himself tightly in the snow-white fox fur.

Lin Jia, who was sitting next to him, saw him and thought: Hu Yingzhi's body may not be as good as mine!

A cold breath mixed with the fragrance of wintersweet came slowly in. Yuzhi deliberately walked to the window and took a deep breath, feeling much more comfortable.

Standing behind Hu Yingzhi, she did not know when she had already taken an amethyst butterfly hairpin in her hand.

Lin Jia pondered for a while, and said, "Master Hu, why don't you send this young man to the county government office to invite Guard Ye for me!"

Now it seems that Hu Yingzhi and this young man named Kunpeng should be the only ones in Hu Yingzhi's family at this time. If Kunpeng is asked to find Ye Chunshan to report the letter and Hu Yingzhi stays, it will prevent Kunpeng from calling those who chased him over. .

Hu Yingzhi was extremely smart, so he knew Lin Jia's intentions, so he agreed with a smile, and told Kunpeng, "Go to the county government office to find Guard Ye, and let Guard Ye bring someone to fetch Master Lin!"

Kunpeng agreed and was about to retreat when Yuzhi smiled and said, "I'll close the door with you!"

The boy Kunpeng looked thin and small, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and looked childish. When he saw Yuzhi coming, he smiled and led Yuzhi out.

Yuzhi's heart was hanging there all the time, always on guard against Kunpeng's sudden attack. When Kunpeng went out, she bolted the latch of the gate, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. , A thin layer of sweat appeared on her back!
In the study, Hu Yingzhi was asking Lin Jia: "Master Lin, who sent these assassins outside to assassinate you? Do you have any thoughts?"

In fact, he has roughly determined it in his heart, and it is probably related to the fact that today's son has no heirs—now that today's son has no heirs, and the important officials in the court have repeatedly gone to the court to ask Emperor Yongtai to choose suitable people from among the sons of the princes of the counties to raise him under his knees. If Lin Jiaruo is the son of heaven Nephew, the person who assassinated him was naturally sent by the son of another county king!
Seeing Hu Yingzhi began to test, Lin Jia lowered her eyes and sighed, and said straight to the point: "My mother is Jiang Shi, the first princess of Xingping County."

His identity will be exposed sooner or later, so why not try to win over Hu Yingzhi first.

Although Hu Yingzhi had already guessed that Lin Jia was the son of the king of Xingping County, he did not expect that Lin Jia was actually the son of the former princess Jiang of Xingping County. He had already made a choice in a flash.

He got up and walked in front of Lin Jia, and saluted Lin Jia upright: "Hu is not talented, and I am willing to do my best for you!"

Lin Jia smiled slightly, stood up and supported Hu Yingzhi, and said with a smile: "Okay, Lin has won Mr. Hu, so naturally he will be like a tiger with wings!"

Both of them were very satisfied, and with a smile, they sat down as the guest and the host, and continued to chat.

Yuzhi heard everything from outside the door, and when she waited until now, she smiled and said: "My lords, do you want me to boil water and make tea?"

Seeing Yuzhi's sweet and lovely smile, Hu Yingzhi's heart couldn't help being shocked, a feeling of sadness spread in his heart, he smiled slightly, and said: "It's good for Miss Yuzhi to stay with the adults in the study, I'll let the boy make tea !"

When Yuzhi heard this, she was startled—it turns out that Hu Yingzhi still has a servant at home!

She looked up at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia glanced at her and lowered her eyes.

Don't doubt the employment, don't use the doubt, since he chooses to believe in Hu Yingzhi, he will believe in it to the end!
Hu Yingzhi looked at Lin Jia's expression and saw that Lin Jia had no intention of refusing, so he called out "Eagle".

Xiong Ying, who had been staying in the west wing, came over and saluted respectfully.

He was a black and thin boy, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was very sturdy.

Hu Yingzhi said with a smile: "Bring over the teapot Maojian!"

The eagle agreed and retreated.

At this moment, there was a scream outside.

Everyone in the room was startled, Hu Yingzhi hurriedly got up to see, Yuzhi glanced at Lin Jia, and followed her out.

Lin Jia pondered for a moment, then got up as well.

They stood behind the gate, listening to the screams, muffled groans, and the crisp sound of fierce metal contact.

Yuzhi felt that she even heard the sharp and unpleasant sound of the knife on the bone, and couldn't help trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Jia walked up to Yuzhi's side, and stretched out her arms to wrap around Yuzhi's waist.

At this time, there was a scream, followed by a "plop", which seemed to be the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Then came A Lan's clear voice: "Where are we adults?"

The man didn't seem to say anything, so A Lan said coldly: "Why don't you? Then look at my brother's pros and cons!"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Zhi and the others heard a "click", which seemed to be the sound of bones being broken.

Lin Jia said softly, "Is it Ah Lan?"

There was a moment of silence outside, followed by Ah Lan's joyful voice—"Young Master? Young Master!"

Only then did Yuzhi heave a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to open the door.

Alan stood outside with tears in his eyes.

Alan was holding a sharp simple knife in his hand, with blood dripping on it, and there were several dead bodies lying or lying on the ground.

His eyes were full of joy, he stared blankly at Lin Jia, then knelt down on one knee: "My lord, I'm sorry, Ah Lan is useless!"

While speaking, Alan wiped away the tears from his eyes.

Seeing A Lan, Lin Jia's heart slowly returned to the distance, and said: "It's good that you come."

He asked again, "Where are the assassins?"

A Lan got up and looked at Lin Jia, her slender eyes were as calm as water: "My lord, all six assassins were killed by the servants, and the corpses are all in this alley."

Lin Jia wandered around, looked around, and saw that the doors of the surrounding people were all closed and the lights were dark. It was obvious that they were afraid of getting burned, and said: "These corpses must be cleaned up as soon as possible!"

At this moment, there was a rush of hoofbeats approaching from far away. Everyone looked over, and Alan stood in front of Lin Jia with a knife.

It was Ye Chunshan and a group of guards who came galloping on horseback. The guards were still holding torches in their hands, followed by Kunpeng who was also riding a horse.

At this moment, Yuzhi was convinced that she and Lin Jia were really out of danger, so she couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Yuzhi's lovely smile, Lin Jia let go of the heart she had been carrying all along, and felt relieved for a while.

He held Yuzhi's hand tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the county government first."

Hu Yingzhi stood beside him, looking at Yuzhi's clear eyes full of smiles, he felt relieved.
