Chapter 374

Why the merchants entertained the second prince was not for the family business.

Pingcheng is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away, but if he can make friends with members of the royal family and bring his own business to the capital, it is of course a good opportunity to honor his ancestors, who would not want to cherish it?

But after hearing what the prefect said, the two dared not speak again.

Seeing this, Shangguan Shaochen took the initiative to raise his wine glass, "The magistrate's words are correct. The prince came to Pingcheng in a low-clothes tour to investigate the people's situation at the order of his father. Naturally, he will live in the magistrate's county office, but don't worry, you will be in Pingcheng Everything about this prince will be truthfully reported to father.”

Seeing that the second prince is so close to the people, not only did he not get angry because of their proposal, but he was also full of smiles. All the merchants hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, the second prince, for understanding the people's sentiments."

However, in the middle of the people, a man in a gray robe suddenly stood up quietly, "I heard that the second concubine is a famous medical fairy girl in the capital. I don’t know if the second prince concubine can do me a favor and compete with you.”

Seeing this man dressed like a Taoist priest suddenly get up and try to provoke her, Ling Muer narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down.

She is going to compete with him because of her medical skills, who do you think she is?

Seeing that someone disrespected his Mu'er so much, Shangguan Shaochen scolded him angrily, "Mu'er is my second concubine, how can I compete with you at will, besides, if you lose in this situation, wouldn't it be for you? Disgrace to your family?"

It was said that he would lose without any comparison, and he was so looked down upon by others. This man had a dark face and was about to say something when a strong wind suddenly blew up. Swords stabbed at the second prince and the others one after another.

"There are assassins, come here, there are assassins!" Liu Changyu was terrified. If the second prince and the second concubine were murdered by assassins under his jurisdiction, the black gauze hat on his head would be lost. The prince reminded him today to dispatch all the guards to ambush the surroundings secretly, but he did not expect the second prince to be so foresight.

"Everyone evacuate immediately, hurry up!" Shangguan Shaochen turned to Liu Changyu and ordered.

"ah!"

The assassin did not hurt Shangguan Shaochen and Ling Muer, but a scream was heard from the crowd, it was Xiong Qiguang who invited Shangguan Shaochen to stay at his house just now.

He suddenly stood in front of Shangguan Shaochen and shot an arrow for him. Seeing this, Shangguan Shaochen kicked away the man in black who assassinated him, and stabilized Xiong Qiguang's body, "How are you?"

Just now, he could have avoided it, but this Xiong Qiguang rushed over suddenly. Although he knew that this person wanted to win him over for his family business, he remembered that this person had such courage.

"Second, Second Prince, I'll save your life. Can I let the salt from my Xiong's family enter the capital? I..." Xiong Qiguang didn't finish his difficult words. He vomited a mouthful of blood instantly, and fell to the ground immediately.

Ling Muer rushed over to check him, "Is he poisoned?"

She raised her eyes and looked at the man from an aristocratic family who was hiding under the table not far away and wanted to compete with her. She hooked her fingers and said, "You don't want to compete with me. Come on, now is your chance. If you can find out For his disease, I will give you the title of Immortal Doctor."

"The second concubine's words are serious?" The man never expected that the second concubine would suddenly make such a request, his face was full of excitement.

Without raising her head, Ling Muer kicked away the man in black who was running to her side, and immediately shot her piercing gaze at him, "It's so chaotic right now, do you think I'm joking with you?"

That's right, more than 30 people in black suddenly rushed in from outside, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts. Although Liu Changyu brought a lot of guards, although there were many people, they were not opponents.

It was originally a welcome banquet, but now it is in chaos. The merchants are all merchants and have no fist skills, but fortunately, some of the entourage they brought can do some fists, but the surroundings are full of fighting and shouting, and there may be more people around. Innocent loss of life.

"Okay, if I win, the second concubine will keep her word."

The man rushed over immediately and squatted beside Xiong Qiguang to treat him, but to his disappointment, his family had practiced medicine for so many years, and he couldn't see what kind of poison this man had and how to solve it.

"Why, can't it work?" Ling Muer asked from the side.

"How come, me, I just need time." The man refused to admit his incompetence, he insisted on trying again

"You still need time? Do you know that his time is running out!" Ling Muer didn't give him a chance at all, but pushed him away. "In my opinion, in the eyes of doctors, there is no difference between success and failure, but to diagnose and treat patients as soon as they encounter injuries. treatment of patients!"

After Ling Mu'er finished speaking, she took out the silver needle from her bosom to give Xiong Qiguang the needle,

When the man saw that Xiong Qiguang's livid complexion gradually turned rosy, he was very surprised, "What's going on? No, it's impossible. You look young, how could you know him in such a short time?" What kind of poison is it? My Song family has been practicing medicine for generations and I haven't figured out his condition, so why don't you mess around?"

"Heh, if I'm not wrong, you will definitely think that I only got the title of Immortal Doctor by virtue of my status as the second concubine?" Ling Muer sneered, and while helping Xiong Qiguang up, she looked at him coldly. To the man, "Just because you are not good at medicine, it doesn't mean that I am as incompetent as you. If you don't know about poison, it doesn't mean that I don't know about it either."

After finishing speaking, Xiong Qiguang woke up, "I, what happened to me just now?"

"You are very poisonous, but fortunately the toxin did not spread to the internal organs and I have already cleared it. As for the arrow wound on your chest, you need to rest well." Ling Muer said softly, "Thank you for saving the second prince's life today. But this method of using your body as a gamble to attract the second prince's attention, I advise you not to use it next time."

Leaving three more pills for Xiong Qiguang, Ling Muer turned around to help Shangguan Shaochen.

Unconvinced, the man who lost to Ling Muer snatched one of the pills from Xiong Qiguang's hand. After he put it under his nose and sniffed it, he was stunned for a moment.

"Shao Chen?" Ling Mu'er came to Shangguan Shao Chen in time, and after looking at him, she took out a smoke bomb from her bosom and threw it around.

'Bang' the surrounding area was instantly filled with white flowers.

"Let's go!" Shangguan Shaochen put his arms around Ling Muer's waist, and led her to fly down from the window.

Seeing this, the man in black immediately chased after him, and the fighting atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Looking at the surrounding chaos, but the second prince and the second concubine were nowhere to be seen, Liu Changyu groaned inwardly, ordering all the guards, "Chase and rescue the second prince and the second concubine."

"Shao Chen, they really caught up!" On the boat, Ling Muer looked nervously at the man in black who was chasing after him.

Yes, all this was part of their plan.

They intentionally made it known that the second prince was in Pingcheng, and they also intentionally promised the common people to hold a reception banquet, because only in this way would Qin Xuanting's assassination be caused.

Only in this way can they escape in a legitimate way, and they will take a detour to Rongcheng. As for the people Qin Xuanting arranged around, as long as they can get rid of them, the other party will only think that they have escaped, not the Rongcheng who deliberately went to Rongcheng after getting the news in advance!

"Sit still." Shangguan Shaochen ordered, and the paddle in his hand slid faster and faster.

It's a pity that the men in black behind them came prepared, and saw that their boats were somehow arranged, and the speed suddenly surpassed Shangguan Shaochen.

In the blink of an eye, they were already surrounded by three ships.

"Take your life!" One of them yelled, and flew up to Shangguan Shaochen, the sword in his hand landed on his shoulder very accurately.

"Shaochen be careful!" Ling Muer exclaimed, and immediately flew three silver needles at the man in black.

Shangguan Shaochen, who was sailing, had no time to fight with the man in black, but that didn't mean Ling Muer didn't.

The silver needles in her space are inexhaustible, as long as these people don't want to die too ugly, just let them come!

"Kill this woman and throw them all into the lake!" The man who had three silver needles in his left arm felt weak all over his body. He clutched his injured arm and told the people behind him, "What are you still doing? kill!"

"Mu'er, be careful." Shangguan Shaochen gently placed the oars on the board, and when he got up again, suddenly there were two sharp daggers in his hands.

"You too." Ling Mu'er pursed her lips and stood at the bow and the stern of the boat with Shangguan Shaochen. Although she didn't have any weapons in her hands, she had already hidden a lot of poison in her cuffs.

When all the men in black rushed over, she threw out all the poison in her hand, and with her strength like a cow, she directly picked up the nearest man in black and threw it towards him, only to see one of the other's boats capsized .

"Say, who sent you to assassinate?" Ling Mu'er captured one of them again as a prisoner.

"The master's name must not be revealed to the outside world. You should die." The man suddenly bent down and broke free from Ling Muer's restraint. The machete in his hand turned around, intending to stab Ling Muer, but unfortunately his arm was In front of him, Shangguan Shaochen slashed his back fiercely.

"Mu'er, are you okay?" Shangguan Shaochen said with concern.

"It seems that these people don't know what to say. It's important for us to do business." Ling Mu'er realized that these were all well-trained killers who would not reveal any useful information at all, so she was in no mood to fight with them.

She quickly flew to Shangguan Shaochen, using her body as his weapon, almost in the blink of an eye, all the dozen or so men in black fell into the lake.

"Let's go to the rendezvous of Heyi!" Shangguan Shaochen grabbed the oars again, and the two of them rowed the boat to the reeds farther away, and left from the path arranged in advance.

The surrounding terrain, they let Mo Qing explore carefully before taking action.

They left the boat on purpose to leave a false signal for Qin Xuanting's people, and they would go from the reeds to the back street. There is a small road in the back street that can go straight to Lincheng Yicheng. Wait for them in Yicheng and enter Rongcheng together.
