Chapter 352

In the corner, Mrs. Ning Guohou drank a glass of wine in one gulp, then looked at Shangguan Shaochen who was full of guilt, but she shook her head caressingly.

"It's not your fault." After hearing his report on Nangong Yizhi's situation, she said softly.

"Auntie really doesn't blame me?" The guilt on Shangguan Shaochen's face did not diminish.

Today he received news again that Nangong Yizhi was indeed missing. If his guess was correct, it must be Lao Qi's tricks.

Although Nangong Yizhi is his cousin, he is also his best brother. If he is really good or bad, the person he feels most guilty about is his aunt.

My aunt treated him as her own son since she was a child. She still remembers that when she was young, Nangong Yizhi asked her jealously who was her real child, but her aunt said, "Of course it's you, but Chen'er's mother is gone. I'm going to give you a child." It's his mother, I have to give him double love to make him feel that he is not an orphan."

He will always remember this sentence, and will always be grateful for his aunt's care.

"So what if I blame you, so what if I don't blame you, can that brat be conjured out of thin air?" After Mrs. Ning Guohou smiled, she gently grabbed Shangguan Shaochen's hand, "Chen'er, even though that brat is me... My precious son, but he is also the eldest son of the Marquis of Ningguo, he has his responsibilities. He is not in danger because of playing around, he is dealing with a very important matter, I believe he also believes in you, and I How can I blame you."

He has always known that his aunt is the most reasonable person, but the more his aunt is like this, the more guilty he feels.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of everything in the capital as soon as possible and go to Pingcheng immediately. I will never let him have an accident!" Shangguan Shaochen promised.

"With your guarantee, I am relieved. My aunt has never been disappointed with you, and you have never broken your promise since you were a child. I believe you will bring that brat back safely."

Auntie said, and offered him a glass of wine again, "Today is your big day, let's not mention those who are unhappy, come, Auntie will toast you again, and wish you and Muer happiness forever."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Thousands of words gathered in the wine, Shangguan Shaochen was not a talkative person, but he understood everything very clearly.

He will never let down his aunt's trust in him!

"There are assassins, come here, there are assassins!" A loud roar suddenly came from the backyard, and the lively crowd immediately fell silent.

Shangguan Shaochen and Mrs. Ning Guohou looked at each other and got up hurriedly. At this time, a guard had appeared in front of them.

"Go back to the second prince, an assassin suddenly appeared in the backyard, please give instructions to the second prince."

Sure enough, what should come has come.

Although Shangguan Shaochen was slightly drunk, at the critical moment, he immediately became sober as if all the spirits he drank just now were ordinary spring water.

"Come here, disperse all the guests, protect all the women and children, everyone follow me!" With a gesture of his hand, the guards who had turned into two rows followed him immediately.

But after walking a few steps away, he suddenly turned around and pointed at one of the guards, "You, take ten elite soldiers to protect Mu'er's family, and everyone else will follow me!"

Yang Shi and the others who hadn't figured out the situation seemed to be aware of the coming danger, but seeing Shangguan Shaochen still miss them so much at this critical moment, Yang Shi and the others nodded in satisfaction.

"Mother, probably there are assassins in the house, why don't you and grandma go to the wedding room to accompany Mu'er first." Ling Zixuan saw through something.

At this time, Mrs. Ning Guohou also came to the crowd, "Don't panic, Chen'er will arrange everything. Also, I have already sent someone to guard Mu'er's side. It is better for you not to go there at this time." , if there is an accident, you will hurt Mu'er instead, don't worry, my wife will protect you too."

They are just ordinary people, there is no need for Mrs. Ning Guohou to protect them personally. Yang and the others feel ashamed, but seeing Mrs. Ning Guohou's attitude of not being able to refuse, they can only shut their mouths obediently and wait quietly. , pray that the crisis tonight will pass quickly.

backyard.

Zhou Qiyan dragged his broken leg and ran out of one of the guest rooms with difficulty. He wanted to use his lightness skills to leave, but suddenly a sharp arrow came from behind him.

"ah!"

With a scream, he immediately rushed forward, and when he got up again, the sharp arrow had already passed through his chest.

Seeing the guards in the prince's mansion rushing from all directions, he immediately took out the signal flare that the seventh prince had given him from his arms.

But a scene that shocked him happened, the flare couldn't be pulled away no matter what!

——"You take this flare. Once you encounter any danger in the Second Prince's Mansion, throw the flare into the air, and twenty elite hidden guards will immediately rush into the Imperial Palace to rescue you."

Immediately, he remembered what the Seventh Prince had said. Before he set off, he saw with his own eyes the twenty hidden guards hiding near the Second Prince's Mansion, but why couldn't the signal flare be activated?

Seeing that the guards were about to rush over to capture him alive, Zhou Qiyan was very anxious, his piercing eyes were red and bloodthirsty, the more anxious he was, the more flustered he became, but no matter how flustered he was, he could be sure that the flare was fake.

"Could it be that the Seventh Prince lied to me?"

Zhou Qiyan couldn't think of any other reason, and dozens of guards had already arrived in front of him. He didn't care about the sharp arrow in his chest, so he got up with difficulty, and the machete in his hand fell, killing one of the guards.

Tonight is the second prince's wedding. He is fully prepared to follow the order of the seventh prince and sneak into the guests, intending to attack Shangguan Shaochen. Who knows that he never forgets to strengthen his guards when he gets married, so he has no choice but to steal the seventh prince's confession first, but After accidentally revealing his feet, he was soon besieged by a large number of guards.

He thought that with the Seventh Prince's signal and those twenty strong hidden guards around, he would be able to get away even if he was in danger, but now it seems that the Seventh Prince gave up on him!

"ah!!"

Zhou Qiyan raised his head to the sky and screamed, he took the sword and slashed at random. Although many guards were stabbed by him, he was all alone after all. .

"puff"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Zhou Qiyan knelt on the ground with his knees weak. He tightly held the sword that pierced through him with both hands. He pulled the sword out with his own hands, and under the shocked eyes of the guards around him, he pulled the sword out. The sword was thrown out, and three more guards died unfortunately.

The archers who hurried over immediately fired all their arrows. Zhou Qiyan, who was already ready to surrender, felt pain in many places on his body. For a moment, all the images of the past in this life flashed in his mind. He raised his hand I want to catch it, but I can't catch it.

——"Brother Zhou, you can stay in my clinic from now on, I trust you."

——"Brother Zhou, following the Seventh Prince is the way to bury your talent, you have to think twice."

—— "Zhou Qiyan, from now on we will be strangers, and we will be enemies when we meet again!"

What Ling Mu'er had said to him kept coming to his ears, her every frown and smile, her demeanor, as if that bright girl who brought sunshine into his life was right in front of his eyes.

It turned out that the happiest days were when I opened a clinic with her in the small town in front of Lingjia Village.

It turned out that he had been going in the wrong direction all along.

His pupils gradually dilated, as if he saw something running towards him, but he had no strength left.

"I'm sorry, Mu'er."

Bang, he fell heavily to the ground.

When Shangguan Shaochen came with his people, the surrounding guards immediately knelt down, "I have seen the second prince."

The leader hurriedly raised his head, "Back to the second prince, the assassin resisted many times, and I have already executed him on the spot."

"Very good." Shangguan Shaochen nodded in satisfaction, and was about to rush towards the assassin, because the assassin was wearing night clothes and a face scarf, so he didn't recognize him immediately.

"Second Prince, be careful." The guard reminded, fearing that the assassin was not really dead, fearing that he would harm the master.

Waving his hand, he signaled that he was not in the way. After approaching, Shangguan Shaochen immediately felt that this person's figure was somewhat familiar. He immediately drew out the sword of the guard beside him, and used the tip of the sword to pry open his face scarf.

When he saw Zhou Qiyan's familiar face, he was shocked, "How could it be him?"

"The second prince recognizes this person?" The leader looked curious.

Shangguan Shaochen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again, the anger on his face became cold and hard, "Come here, report the current situation, what's going on, does he have a companion?"

"Back to the Second Prince, when the subordinates were guarding, they noticed strange noises here. When they approached, they realized that this person had sneaked into the study of the Second Prince. The subordinates immediately arrested him, but he resisted bravely. In desperation, we just want to shoot him! However, the manor has not found any of his accomplices." The guard reported.

Shangguan Shaochen's heart immediately tensed up, who is Zhou Qiyan? People from Qin Xuanting! Why did he sneak into his study? Naturally, he wanted to steal back Qin Xuanting's account book.

Unexpectedly, he had guessed all this, but he never thought that Lao Qi would cruelly send a friend with bad legs and Mu'er to do this matter.

"Isn't this man from the Seventh Prince's?" The commander of the Imperial Guard who followed behind recognized Zhou Qiyan's identity, and he immediately looked at Shangguan Shaochen, "Why did the Seventh Prince's man make trouble in the Second Prince's mansion? Prince, can this matter be reported to the emperor?"

"Father has been worrying a lot about the Queen's affairs recently. It's better not to disturb his old man with such trivial matters, but since this person comes from the Seventh Prince's Mansion?" He paused, "Come here, prepare the horse."

"Yes!" The guard immediately took the order to leave, but Shangguan Shaochen did not leave the mansion in a hurry, but walked towards the inner courtyard.

Zhou Qiyan was Mu'er's old acquaintance, he was dead, and he felt that he should tell Mu'er the news.

"Second Prince..." A guard suddenly appeared behind him.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, it was obvious that he had something to say, Shangguan Shaochen stopped, "What's the matter, but it's okay to say."

"Back to the second prince, when the servant checked the sword in the assassin's hand just now, he found that the tip of his sword was smeared with poison. The subordinate guessed that he was not just here to steal."

How can stealing things need to be smeared with poison?

Shangguan Shaochen's expression changed drastically, "It seems that Lao Qi really can't hold back anymore, what he wants is my life!"
