The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 242: Take every step and see the next step

Without saying much, Mo Yuchen and Li Guan rushed forward.

There were many assassins, and Li Guan and Mo Chen could not handle them all. A few of them took the opportunity to come towards Xia Yanxiang.

He Yuan and Chang Linyue faced the men head-on and started fighting.

Xia Yanxiang didn't know any martial arts, so she could only step back a few steps, take off the hairpin on her head and hold it tightly in her hand, while holding her purse with her other hand.

The opponents all had long weapons, so even if Xia Yanxiang took the hairpin it would probably be useless. She could only hope for the poison in her purse.

Fortunately, the commotion here was so loud that Xia Zhibai was alarmed and quickly sent people over.

Xia Yanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand that was holding her purse finally loosened.

Xia Zhibai's men arrived quickly and caught the person. He hurried to Xia Yanxiang's side and said, "Yan'er! Are you okay?"

As he spoke, Xia Zhibai held Xia Yanxiang's shoulders and looked her up and down several times, but was stopped by Xia Yanxiang helplessly: "Brother, I'm fine."

When the first assassin tried to kill Xia Yanxiang secretly, Xia Yanxiang smelled an unusual odor and was frightened when she opened her eyes. Her movement woke Li Guan up. Fortunately, Li Guan reacted quickly, otherwise Xia Yanxiang would definitely not have escaped.

Li Fu led his men to capture everyone. After a careful count, he turned to look at Li Guan and Xia Yanxiang: "Are you all right?"

Li Guan didn't look panicked at all: "Dad, we are fine, thanks to A Yan who woke me up in time."

"These people! They are obviously military personnel, yet they dare to attack us!" Li Guan was not afraid of such assassinations, but he was extremely angry about the identities of these people.

"Ayan doesn't know martial arts. If I hadn't been riding in the carriage with her, she would have died today!"

Li Guan also grew up in the military, and he really didn't understand what they were going to do today.

Li Fu and Xia Zhibai looked at each other. It was obvious that neither of them intended to deal with the matter later. Xia Zhibai let go of Xia Yanxiang, walked over and began to interrogate: "What are you doing?! Don't you know who she is?!"

The twenty or so people were silent, only one spoke angrily: "She is just a woman who relies on her brother and uncle, why should His Royal Highness Prince Luo drive her carriage?!"

I didn’t expect the reason to be so ridiculous!

Xia Zhibai was furious. He didn't expect that the reason Xia Yanxiang was assassinated was not to protect Mo Yuchen, but because of the trivial matter of Mo Yuchen driving a carriage.

"What does this have to do with you?!" Mo Yuchen said with a cold face, "Miss San is my fiancée, what's wrong with her driving a carriage?"

"Besides, I am just an ordinary soldier in the army now, so why can't I drive?!"

Before Xia Zhibai could ask any questions, Mo Yuchen had already started to solve the matter.

"Your Highness! I am here to speak up for you!" The man who had spoken earlier struggled, "You are just down and out for a while, and yet the Xia family actually bullies you like this!"

"Is this a small thing and considered bullying?" This time it was Xia Zhibai who spoke up. "You're still fighting for Luo Wangming. Why don't you go to the emperor and fight for Luo Wangming?! You're bullying a powerless woman here! How dare you?!"

Another soldier also spoke up: "You also said that she is just a woman. Even if she goes to the northwest with us, she will be a burden. It is better not to go!"

Li Guan was tired of listening to them. She stepped forward and kicked them: "You have no right to comment on these things? You are trying to stir up trouble before we even get to the battlefield. Are you the enemy?!"

Although Li Guan is a woman, she is very strong and kicked the two men to the ground.

"I am a woman too! What? Am I not worthy to go?"

The person who spoke was Yun Wu. She and Yue Qing learned what happened here and came over quickly.

"Madam..." The twenty or so soldiers didn't dare to speak.

"Madam, why are you here?" Li Fu saw Yun Wu coming and took the initiative to walk forward and ask.

Yun Wu shook her head and did not respond to Li Fu's words. Instead, she walked straight to the soldier who had just spoken so arrogantly and said, "You said that I am also a weak woman, so should I not go?"

The soldier didn't dare to speak, not even to raise his head.

"Aunt, please take a rest first! My uncle and I can handle the things here." Although Xia Zhibai knew that Yun Wu only had a strong aura in front of outsiders, he was also a little afraid of Yun Wu for no reason.

Yun Wu glanced at Xia Zhibai and didn't comment. She only said, "This matter has been handled."

After saying that, Yun Wu stopped talking and walked back to Yue Qing.

Xia Yanxiang also walked to Yue Qing's side. Yue Qing naturally checked her pulse and soon relaxed, knowing that there was no problem.

"Come here, punish him by military law!" Xia Zhibai was not soft-hearted and gave the order directly, "After the punishment, escort him back to the capital and deal with him according to the law!"

"Yes!"

After such a commotion, it was certain that he would not be able to sleep. After Xia Zhibai solved the problem, Xia Yanxiang urged him to go back to sleep.

Yue Qing and Yun Wu originally wanted to let Xia Yanxiang and Li Guan go to their carriage to rest, but Xia Yanxiang refused.

Even if it was in the past, Xia Yanxiang couldn't sleep tonight.

Mo Fuchen came to find Xia Yanxiang. He knew that Li Guan was worried and had some dissatisfaction with him because of this matter, so Mo Fuchen only let Xia Yanxiang get off the carriage and talked to her for a few words.

"What happened today is unavoidable. Even if it's not tonight, it may happen tomorrow night." Xia Yanxiang knew what Mo Yuchen was going to say.

Although Xia Yanxiang said this, Mo Yuchen still felt a little flustered and scared: "If you didn't wake up in time..."

"Don't worry, I will wake up." Xia Yanxiang said confidently, "Have you forgotten that I am very sensitive to smells? As long as he gets close to me, I will notice him."

"And even if A-Guan isn't here, I have poison in my hand and can still protect myself."

Mo Yuchen pursed his lips: "But I drive for you just to protect you."

Xia Yanxiang laughed: "What are you talking about? It's to protect you."

Xia Yanxiang's correction made Mo Yuchen suddenly realize that he was confused by the assassination of Xia Yanxiang tonight. Mo Yuchen patted his head before he recovered.

"Don't worry, with you and Guan here, nothing will happen."

Mo Yuchen put his heart back in his stomach, took a breath and said: "I don't know where the following rumor came from, don't get angry about it."

"Don't worry, these rumors are definitely meant to stir up dissatisfaction among the soldiers," Xia Yanxiang knew very well, "By then, someone will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack. You are by my side, and there will definitely be times when they can't take care of you, and they will definitely attack you."

Xia Yanxiang only knew that there was an extremely serious assassination in her previous life, so serious that Xia Zhibai was seriously injured by Mo Yuchen, but Xia Yanxiang didn't know exactly when it happened, nor did she know how the assassination took place. She could only be cautious and take things one step at a time.
