Chapter 701： the only one left alive

Chapter 701 The only survivor

Chu Nanzhi's discovery of Zhang Lu's murder quickly spread throughout Jingling City, and her reactivation of Fang Qingyue caused a great uproar.

Especially the rumors about the old people from the Weilan Palace are spreading in the city, and those high-ranking and dignified mansions have begun to investigate whether their own houses have ever taken in the old people who have come out of the Weilan Palace.

At one time, as many as dozens of people were expelled or rode to death.

Everything was proceeding as Chu Nanzhi expected. Even though Fang Qingyue was clever, the result was no different from what she expected. After many days of interrogation, Du Jiuzhen could not find a word.

But Fang Qingyue was the only one who was troubled by this matter. The outside world didn't know the result of the interrogation at Tingwei's Mansion. Countless people went to inquire about the news, and they were all stopped outside the prison by Lin Jinshu's confidantes.

The tense atmosphere in Jingling City reached its peak.

Seeing that half of the ten days had passed, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinshu came out of Tingwei's Mansion after completing errands as usual.

Beware for four or five days, the daily nightmare scenes have never come true, which has been bothering her, making her doubt the authenticity of this nightmare.

"Could it be just a nightmare?"

She held the stove and muttered to herself.

Lin Jinshu, who was sitting on the carpet, looked up at the scarecrow in confusion, and said suspiciously, "Nan Zhi, how long do you think we'll stay on the carpet in the carriage like this? Don't laugh to death."

Facing her question, Chu Nanzhi also looked bitter.

After arranging so much, it would be ridiculous if it was empty in the end.

For this reason, she deliberately covered the carriage tightly so that outsiders would not notice it.

But taking a step back, compared to this little life, she doesn't care what others think of her.

"Princess, please bear with me. After the ten days pass, everything will return to peace."

After thinking about it, she could only comfort Princess Shu in this way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a piercing sound in the carriage, shaking the entire vehicle body slightly.

The two held their breaths and were stunned. Lin Jinshu looked sharply at the place where the sound came from, and found that half of a feathered arrow had been inserted into the scarecrow above her head. The sharp point of the arrow directly penetrated the entire scarecrow. Heartbreakingly cold.

She was about to get up to get the sharp arrow, when a sudden sound came from outside again.

"Be careful."

Chu Nanzhi pushed her down to the ground, and the two of them prostrated themselves on the carpet, only to feel the surroundings trembling for a while, followed by shouts one after another: "There are assassins."

"Protect princesses and princesses."

"Catch the assassin."

Hearing the panicked voices outside, the war-tested **** of war became at a loss.

I thought she was worrying too much, but I never thought it would really come true.

Looking at the car body full of arrow feathers, Lin Jinshu couldn't help sighing and sighed: "It's good that you were careful, otherwise we would both die here today. "

"It's just that I have experienced more things and I am more vigilant."

Chu Nanzhi heard the shouts of killing everywhere, and was about to lift the curtain of the car on her knees, when Sang Qi's voice came in eagerly: "Master, are you and the princess okay?"

At this moment, she understood why the master had placed two scarecrows in the carriage and covered the carriage tightly.

"We're fine."

Chu Nanzhi pulled Lin Jinshu out of the carriage and checked the surroundings. He was already surrounded by guards, and the plainclothes scattered everywhere were trying to catch the assassin who shot in the back.

Lin Jinshu kept an eye on the surroundings, wary of the assassins hiding in the dark who would shoot sniper arrows, and loudly told the guards: "We must catch some alive, this princess wants to see who actually ate the bear's heart and the leopard!" How dare you do such a rebellious act at the feet of the Son of Heaven."

Having received the order, Chen Chuan drew his sword and ran over aggressively.

But he led the guards to work for a while, and tried his best to kill more than a dozen assassins, but he didn't catch a single one alive.

Just as everyone felt extremely lost, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on a distant street corner.

Chu Nanzhi fixed her eyes and found that it was actually Xie Jingchen, the Prince of Bai Yu who hadn't seen him for many days.

I saw him leading a few confidants, escorting a very embarrassed man in black and walking straight over.

"Thank you, Prince?"

Lin Jinshu glanced vigilantly at the few people in front of him. Although the Baiyu Mission has ruled out the suspicion of collusion with the rebels in Pingning Prefecture, the peace talks between the two countries have not yet started, so she is still full of vigilance against this person. .

Even a little disgusted.

After all, Chu Nanzhi is not only her most respected elder brother and wife, but also a close friend in her boudoir that she likes from the bottom of her heart. She doesn't want Chu Nanzhi to be involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong.

"I was imprisoned in the post house, and I just regained my freedom. I was wandering nearby. I heard that there was an assassin here, so I rushed over. I didn't expect to meet Her Royal Highness."

Looking deeply at Chu Nanzhi, Xie Jingchen's eyes were incomparably complicated, and the feeling in his heart was really indescribable, he added with a wry smile: "There is also Princess Pingning."

Seeing his melancholy eyes gradually turning, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a sore heart.

At the beginning, he advised the Empress Dowager to detain the Baiyu Mission, firstly for the sake of their respective reputations, and also because he was afraid that someone would endanger his life by taking advantage of the rebellion in Pingning Prefecture, so he made this bad decision.

I don't know if he understands his painstaking efforts.

Bowing to him politely, Chu Nanzhi politely asked casually: "Long time no see, thank you, Prince, you are fine."

Her indifferent attitude made Uncle Xie on the side very dissatisfied, he pouted and sneered coldly: "Thanks to Princess Pingning, I will spend all day eating and drinking in the post house, it is very good."

“No rudeness.”

Xie Jingchen glared at Sixth Uncle Xie, looked back at Chu Nanzhi with a smile, endured the compassion in his heart, and said as if nothing had happened: "When I came here, I caught a fleeing assassin. I wonder if it is the two people you are looking for?"

The words fell, and the subordinates handed over the escorted man in black to the guards.

Lin Jinshu glared viciously at the assassin who had been beaten to pieces, and asked violently, "Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate this princess and Princess Pingning?"

The man in black was silent, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't seem to feel scared at all.

"Forgot to tell Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xie Jingchen reminded: "These assassins have suicide poison hidden in their mouths. I just smashed his mouth in a hurry. He can't speak. I think he should be able to write a few words."

"This"

Lin Jinshu clenched his fists angrily, always feeling that this guy was deliberately playing with himself and Chu Nanzhi, in order to vent the anger of being imprisoned for many days.

"I still want to thank the prince for his help."

Chu Nanzhi thanked her, and seeing that it was getting late, she didn't want to stay longer on the street, and replied politely: "At present, Her Highness and I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I will personally thank the prince for today's visit some other day. kindness."

"You are Welcome."

Before Xie Jingchen finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi pulled Lin Jinshu back into the carriage, leaving only his lonely figure standing alone in the cold wind.
