Chapter 859
"How are you injured?" Xiao Xiang showed that aloof and arrogant attitude again, but there was a bit of concern in his eyes.
Tang Yin glanced at her and said calmly: "It's just a minor injury."
"Is this a minor injury?" Xiao Xiang's eyes widened unconsciously.
Tang Yin waved his hand and said seriously: "Now, let your people go after the assassins immediately and catch as many as they can. If you let them run back like this, there is no guarantee that there won't be another time."
His words reminded Xiao Xiang, and she trembled. She quickly turned her head and looked around, and saw the guards gathered around her, all looking at her with big eyes and small eyes.
Xiao Xiang felt depressed and reprimanded in a bad tone: "You all stand here and watch what I am doing? Hurry up and chase the assassin! Do you need me to teach you to do this?"
The guards came to their senses one after another, and the leader of the guard hurriedly allocated half of his men and asked them to ride horses to catch the escaped assassins.
Tang Yin knew that these assassins were Guang Xuanling's most trusted confidants and his most loyal minions. They would all be his enemies in the future. Now that he had the opportunity, he should borrow as many people as possible from the hands of the Sichuan people. Annihilate them and pave the way for getting rid of Guang Xuanling in the future.
As soon as the guards chasing the assassin left, more guards and soldiers rushed over, as did the noble children who came to hunt with Xiao Xiang.
Seeing Xiao Xiang, the noble disciples rushed forward one after another, asking questions, each one more nervous than the other.
Seeing that Xiao Xiang was unharmed, but Tang Yin was injured, many nobles showed disapproval on their faces. Some of them even sneered and said mockingly: "You are so brave and good at fighting and a king on horseback, but in fact he is not even as good as a woman."
Hearing their ridicule, Asan, Asi, and Yin Lan looked gloomy and angry, but Tang Yin didn't take it seriously. It didn't matter what Sichuan people thought of him. It would be a good thing if all Sichuan people could despise him so much. .
Xiao Xiang, on the other hand, was very angry and couldn't help but feel grievances for Tang Yin. He yelled at the noble disciples who were laughing at him: "Shut up! Thanks to the Wind King this time, otherwise I would have been killed by the assassin. But you, where were you when I was being hunted by assassins?"
When the noble children heard this, they were all speechless and lowered their heads. Among them, a young man with an unattractive appearance took the initiative to approach Tang Yin, bowed his hands and saluted, and said seriously: "Thank you, His Highness the Wind King, for saving the princess from being killed by the assassin."
Unexpectedly, some of these noble children would thank him, which surprised Tang Yin. He looked at the young man up and down. He looked like he was only in his early twenties. The spirit martial arts should be very good. The two were not big. Eyes sparkle.
It's just that he looks too ordinary, the kind that you can't find again after falling into the crowd. He asked with a smile: "Does this little brother have a proper surname?"
"I'm here to serve you." The young man replied with his hands raised respectfully. The other noble disciples raised the corners of their mouths and showed contempt, as if they all looked down on this young man named Bu Chong.
Bu Chong? The surname Bu is rare. Tang Yin pondered for a moment and asked curiously: "General Buying is..."
"Ah, to report to His Highness the Wind King, that is my uncle!" the young man said hurriedly.
Oh, it turned out to be Buying's nephew. Tang Yin understood why those noble children were disgusted and repelled by Buchong.
Buying was born in the Prince's Mansion, and was Xiao Xuan's confidant and a popular figure in the dynasty. Although he was already a marquis, the commander of the Central Army and had his own family army, he was not familiar with the traditions of the Sichuan Kingdom. As far as the aristocrats were concerned, he was just a poor man who got into the aristocratic class by choosing the right master. As for his nephew, he naturally despised him from the bottom of his heart.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of Sichuan people, if a title is not passed down to three generations, it cannot be considered a noble. The rejection of Buchong by the children of these nobles is ultimately the rejection of the new nobles by the old nobles. This is also one of the main contradictions within the Sichuan country at present. one.
Seeing that Bu Chong could take the initiative to thank Tang Yin, Xiao Xiang was very happy, smiled and nodded at him, and then asked the guards to find a carriage.
After waiting for about two-quarters of an hour, the guards rushed over to a carriage, and Xiao Xiang took the initiative to help Tang Yin get into the carriage. Now she had no intention of hunting any more and ordered the guards outside the car to return home.
The carriage is not big and the space inside is limited. Now that Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang are sitting on the ground, it seems a bit crowded. Xiao Xiang didn't care and didn't think about anything else. Her eyes kept rolling since she got into the carriage.
He was curious about what she was thinking, but Tang Yin didn't ask any questions, he just looked at her happily. After a while, Xiao Xiang asked: "Do you think those assassins really came from the Divine Pond?"
"At least those assassins who besieged us later were." Tang Yin said slowly.
"Then why did Shenchi want to kill me? Who ordered them?" Xiao Xiang asked with a frown.
Tang Yin was silent for a moment, then Fang said: "Some things are better not to know."
"Is it really the Holy King of Shenchi who wants to kill me? Why is this?" Xiao Xiang grabbed Tang Yin's arm nervously. She had no quarrel with Shenchi, and she had never offended the Holy King of Shenchi. How could he send someone to kill her?
"Could it be that my brothers secretly bribed the Holy King and asked him to send people to kill me?"
Tang Yin smiled lightly and said, "I'm not a god, so how can I know what Guang Han is thinking when he hears this."
Xiao Xiang clenched her fists and said in a deep voice: "No wonder father is preparing to use troops against Shenchi, Shenchi is really hateful!" After a pause, she asked again: "You said there are two waves of assassins, and there is another wave... …”
Before she could finish her words, a cavalry team rushed towards her. Looking around, they were all Sichuan cavalry. The leader was not wearing armor, but was wearing a gorgeous brocade suit and a white cloak on his back. Looking towards his face, He has a dignified appearance, handsome and tough.
This is none other than the second son of Sichuan Kingdom, Xiao Yuan. Soon, the carriage stopped, and the guards outside ran over to intervene and report: "Report, princess, the second young master has led the cavalry to take the princess back to the city!"
When Xiao Xiang heard this, his face immediately darkened. There were two waves of assassins, one was sent by Shenchi, and she suspected that the other was sent by her second brother.
She didn't have the slightest good impression of Xiao Yuan, and it wasn't just now that she began to doubt Xiao Yuan. She had already suspected him as early as the last time she was assassinated, but no conclusive evidence was found.
"Weasel wishes the chicken New Year's greetings." She muttered something unclearly, thinking to herself: My second brother probably didn't come to take her back to the capital, but to see if she was dead. She sneered and stepped out of the carriage.
With the help of two maids, Xiao Xiang got out of the carriage. As soon as he stood outside, there was the sound of rapid horse hooves in front of him, and Xiao Yuan galloped over with his entourage.
When he got close, he got off his horse and took a good look at Xiao Xiang. When he saw that she was fine, he took a long breath and said, "I heard that Xiang Mei met an assassin while hunting. What happened? Put Er Er Brother is almost scared to death!”
Xiao Xiang stood there with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, and said: "Second brother, what a good news!"
"I just received the report, so I rushed over with people!" Xiao Yuan said seriously.
Just received the news? Xiao Xiang secretly laughed in his heart, how could these many cavalry be prepared in a short time? Did he already know that something was going to happen to him, and these cavalrymen were already waiting outside the Young Master's Mansion?
The Clay Bodhisattva still has three parts of earth nature, let alone Xiao Xiang? How could he still bear this tone when he was assassinated again and again?
She was filled with anger and was about to break out and scold Xiao Yuan in person. But at this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly came. She and Xiao Yuan subconsciously looked up. Well, the eldest son Xiao Ting also brought him with him. A group of cavalry of about a thousand people rushed over.
Xiao Xiang swallowed back the words that came to her lips. If the second brother had been prepared, what happened to the eldest brother? Could it be that he and the two of them jointly sent an assassin? Even Xiao Xiang was confused this time.
Seeing Xiao Ting coming, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed and he murmured: "Brother is not too slow to come!"
"..." Xiao Xiang was speechless.
Not long after, Xiao Ting arrived on horseback. After dismounting, he quickly came to Xiao Xiang and said, "It was reported that Xiang Mei was attacked. Is Xiang Mei uninjured? Has the assassin been caught?"
Xiao Xiang forced a smile and said: "Brother, I'm fine. The assassin has run away. The guards have gone after them, but I don't know if they have been caught now."
"Them? How many assassins are there?"
"There are probably dozens of people!"
"Ah? Dozens of people! Lawless, simply lawless!" Xiao Ting was so angry that he stamped his feet and said angrily: "On the outskirts of the capital, there were dozens of assassins openly assassinating the princess. Those losers in the Lieutenant's Mansion should be Dismissed from office and questioned!"
Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly in her heart, but still said: "Brother, don't be angry, I think my father will investigate this matter!"
"Yes! We must get to the bottom of it and find out who is so brave and dares to instruct assassins to kill Xiangmei!" Xiao Ting said angrily.
Tang Yin, who was sitting in the carriage, almost laughed out loud. They were obviously in love with each other, but Xiao Xiang's two brothers pretended to care about her more and more. In front of the supreme throne, what else is blood thicker than water? What brotherhood!
Thinking of this, Tang Yin suddenly shuddered. He was thinking that if he had children in the future, would they be like Xiao Xiang, Xiao Ting, and Xiao Yuan now, harmonious on the surface, but secretly scheming, eager to kill each other in one fell swoop? The other party is dead?
