Chapter 37 Assassination

 It was too quiet.

 The sharp beak of the black pheasant on Yan Ruyu's waist pecked her leg. She lowered her eyes and met the black pheasant's bright little eyes.

 She remained calm and nudged the lady next to her.

 no response.

 The eldest lady and Huo Changheng breathed long and slept very deeply.

 On the other side, the second wife, who had been crying because of the loss of her son, also fell asleep.

 Yan Ruyu glanced at Yan Song's tent. The fire had just been extinguished, but there were still remaining flames that were extinguishing and extinguishing, like the eyes of a scarlet beast, flickering in and out.

 A faint bitter smell floated from the direction of the fire, if it was there but not at all.

 Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes and immediately realized that incense was put into the fire.

 Night shrouded the mountain col and everyone was sleeping soundly. Yan Ruyu took out her two swords and held the handles in her hands, waiting for someone to get up.

 A figure came out of Yan Song's tent.

 Yan Ruyu remained motionless and saw Yan Song looking around for a few times, then put on his cloak and quickly climbed out of the col.

 Last time he went to secretly meet the man in the black cloak, he just avoided everyone and did not put out any incense. This shows that what he wanted to do this time was more secretive.

 Could it be related to Huo Changhe being framed?

 Yan Ruyu became more anxious and steadier, waiting for Yan Song to climb out of the col, and then quietly followed.

 Just when she was about to get up, suddenly, there was a scream from the woods outside the col, and a signal arrow shot up into the sky with light. The sound woke up most of the people in the col.

 Yan Song was also startled, stood still and looked towards the woods.

 Yan Ruyu cursed in her heart, who is doing bad things at this time? Could it be bandits?

 She subconsciously looked in the direction of Yin Ding, who was looking in the direction of the woods with her round face raised. She noticed her gaze, retracted her gaze, and covered her head.

 "What happened just now? Why do I feel dizzy?"

 Yan Ruyu: "..."

 The eldest lady and Huo Changheng also woke up.

 "What's wrong? What happened?"

 "We don't know yet. Don't worry, mother. You and Heng'er are together and don't separate."

 "Okay, okay." The eldest lady nodded repeatedly.

 At this time, a group of people rushed out from the woods. They were wearing black night clothes and filled with murderous intent.

 Yin Ding hurried over and whispered to Yan Ruyu: "Oh no, it seems to be a bandit!"

 Yan Ruyu turned to look at him, her eyes bright and clear in the darkness: "Can I believe you?"

 "Yes, yes!"

 Yan Ruyu He took out a jelly bean and handed it to him.

 "What is this?" Yin Ding was puzzled, the color was strangely beautiful.

 "Eat it. If you are trustworthy, then eat it."

 Yin Ding blinked, thought quickly, picked up the thing and ate it.

 "This is poison."

 Yin Ding said: "!!"

 "Don't worry, it won't happen immediately. Take good care of your mother and Heng'er. I will give you the antidote when it's over."

 Yin Ding's throat seemed to be stuck with a hand, and he went up in one breath. Don't come or go: "...What about you?"

 "I'll go take a look."

 Yan Ruyu said, striding forward to meet him.

 Passivity has never been her character.

 Most of the people woke up, terrified and screaming.

 When Yan Ruyu passed by Huo Changxu, she glanced at him and said coldly: "If your surname is Huo, then go and guard your mother."

 Huo Changxu opened his mouth to refute, but Yan Ruyu had already left quickly.

 Yan Song was also startled. Looking at these strange and murderous faces, he whispered: "Everyone, Yan Song, may I ask if you are from Shuangfeng Mountain?"

 The leader sneered: "What Shuangfeng? " Shan? Yan Song, we are here to take your life!"

 Yan Song was shocked and took two steps back: "What have you

 done recently?" , reflecting Yan Song's pale face, "Your originally good future has been ruined. What should you do?"

 When he mentioned this, Yan Song suddenly understood: "Are you sent by the Yan family?"

 "You're smart. Now that you've said it, let's die!"

 Yan Song pulled out the knife and gritted his teeth and said, "No need to negotiate?"

 The leader patted the money bag: "Two hundred taels of gold, how can we negotiate?"

 Yan Song He laughed angrily: "Two hundred taels of gold? My illness is worth two hundred taels of gold?" "Otherwise? Madam Yan said that you are a concubine, born of a cheap concubine. To be able to offer you this price is already a compliment

 to you."

Song's face was pale, concubine, concubine, such words were the mark of shame that Chrome had left on him, and it could not be erased no matter what.

 He suddenly understood why his dagger suddenly appeared and killed Huo Changxing. I am afraid it was these people who did it.

 This is frame-up!

 "Everyone, I don't have two hundred taels of gold on me, but I promise that as long as you show your kindness today, I will be richly rewarded in the future."

 "Do you think we are fools?" The leader did not buy it, "In the future? We won't Look, look right in front of you! Brothers, take him down!"

 With the order, several people quickly surrounded him.

 Yan Song's skills were mediocre, but he couldn't resist a few moves against so many people.

 He was very worried and secretly regretted that he should not have used the incense just now. His men were also stunned. Although they woke up now, they had no strength.

 "Chi!"

 Yan Song grunted after being stabbed on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Yan Ruyu not far away.

 He shouted loudly: "Yan Ruyu, come here to help!"

 Yan Ruyu held a knife in her hand and said casually: "I help you? Why?"

 Yan Song was angry and backed away and said: "They were sent by Mrs. Yan, do you think she Will I let you go?

 Now that we join forces, I will not treat you badly. When we return to the capital in the future, we will seek revenge on her!"

 Yan Ruyu did not expect that these people were sent by Mrs. Yan, presumably because of Yan Da. The Yan family did not dare to do anything to Prince Yi's house about the humiliation of the young lady by Princess Yi, but Mrs. Yan could not swallow this breath and hired a murderer to kill Yan Song.

 "Hurry!" Yan Song was stabbed again in the leg and almost fell.

 Yan Ruyu didn't want to help him, but she also didn't want him to die in Mrs. Yan's hands.

 Just as he was about to take action, suddenly another whistle came from deep in the forest, resounding through the night sky.

 Several killers were stunned and stopped: "Someone is coming, retreat!"

 Before they finished speaking, a group of people rushed out of the forest. They were dressed in different clothes and held broadswords, shining with cold light.

 Some of the black-clothed assassins fought with them before they had time to retreat.

 Yan Song could also take a breath, leaned on the knife to use force, and stepped aside.

 Yan Ruyu didn't look at him and observed the situation in front of her. The assassin in black was not weak, but these people who followed were also very strong.

 The leader in black shouted: "Let's go!"

 Their number was obviously smaller than those who came later. They did not dare to fight and quickly evacuated.

 Some people still wanted to chase, but were stopped by: "That's it, no need to chase."

 Yan Ruyu turned around and saw that the speaker was tall, wearing dark blue clothes and a black cloak, making a hunting sound in the night wind.

 He has fair skin, one eye is covered by a black eye patch, the remaining eye shines like obsidian, and there is a scar on his forehead.

 He came slowly with a dagger in hand, and his subordinates raised their hands and saluted: "The master."

 Yan Song's throat rolled, and he forced a smile on his legs: "Who is the master of Shuangfeng Mountain?"

 The master's sword entered. Sheath, then slowly nodded: "Who are you?"

 "I'm Yan Song, I'm escorting the exiled prisoners to the northwest. I passed by here, the boss..."

 Before Yan Song finished speaking, the boss raised his hand to interrupt him: " Exiled prisoner? Is he from the Huo family?"

 "Exactly."

 Yan Ruyu's eyes lingered on the headmaster, with a playful smile in his eyes.

 Big boss?

 Why does my body smell like Zhuixiang Pills?
