Chapter 42: Encountering an Assassin
As soon as he finished speaking, a horse rushed over from a distance. The person on the horse was wearing a veil, and from his direct eyes, it could be seen that his target was Luo Nianxi.
Just as the horse came close to the few people, the man in black on the horse suddenly jumped down, and without any hesitation, pointed his sword at Luo Nianxi.
Seeing this scene, Chun Tao was so scared that she screamed loudly, "Ah! Princess, help me!"
Luo Nianxi calmly frowned and pulled her away, and Ling Yun started fighting with the man in black.
This sudden scene stunned Luo Nianxi. She didn't expect these people to be so bold as to assassinate her in the street.
Just when she was worried about Ling Yun, she saw the other party kick Ling Yun a dozen feet away. Ling Yun's leg was seriously injured and he sat on the ground, unable to move...
"Ling Yun..."
She screamed and was about to rush towards Ling Yun when she saw that he had already pointed the tip of his sword at her.
"who are you?"
She asked coldly,
"Someone who wants to kill you."
The other person's voice was chilly yet familiar. Luo Nianxi looked at the man in black in front of her warily, and suddenly noticed the scar on his forehead...
Isn’t this the assassin who broke into Prince Yan’s Mansion last time!
It seems that he failed last time and held a grudge, so he came to seek revenge on her.
She was very confused. This scarred man was obviously heading straight for her, so how could he know her whereabouts? His information was so accurate, it must not be a coincidence.
But she didn't have time to think too much at this moment, because the assassin's sword was already stabbing towards her.
Just as she was considering whether she should enter Bao'an Hall to take shelter temporarily, a golden light suddenly flashed before her eyes, and then she heard the sound of weapons colliding.
She opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a man fighting with a man in black.
She didn't know the man in front of her, but judging from his clothes, he didn't look like an ordinary person.
After a while, this man also showed signs of defeat, but he did not admit defeat. Instead, he stood in front of Luo Nianxi, pointed his sword at the assassin opposite him, and shouted:
"You are such a bold assassin, you dared to kill Princess Yan in the street. You really don't want to live. I have already ordered someone to report to the authorities. The people from Shuntian Prefecture will be here soon. Don't even think about leaving here alive today."
When the ghost heard the other party's address, he guessed the other party's identity from his appearance. He could kill Leng Yiyan or Princess Yan, but he could not kill the person in front of him, otherwise Leng Yicheng would not let him go.
Thinking of this, he looked at Luo Nianxi fiercely, then turned over, flew up, stepped on his horse's back, and rode away.
The ghost left, the man turned around, and Luo Nianxi bowed to him.
"Thank you for rescuing me. You just called yourself the king. Which king are you?"
She guessed from the way he called himself that she was a prince, but she was not sure which prince.
The other party clasped his hands together and responded without hiding anything.
"Come to think of it, you should call me Third Brother..."
Third brother?
Could he be the younger brother of Crown Prince Leng Yicheng, Prince Duan Leng Yifei of Pingyang State?
Thinking of this, she bowed.
"Thank you, Lord Duan, for rescuing me."
She was not used to calling him the third brother, and she did not have much good impression of him. Although Leng Yiyan had never mentioned Leng Yifei to her, he was Leng Yicheng's younger brother, and how different was his character from Leng Yicheng's?
Leng Yifei waved his hand generously.
"It's okay. These people are so bold that they dare to hurt people in broad daylight. Fortunately, I passed by just now, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"
It was obvious that he was asking for a favor.
"Third Prince is right. Thank you for rescuing me today. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future."
Leaving this sentence, she didn't have time to say anything more, and quickly ran to Ling Yun and asked worriedly,
"Lingyun, are you okay?"
Ling Yun bit his lip and shook his head vigorously.
"Princess, I'm fine. I'm sorry I scared you."
Seeing that Ling Yun could still speak normally, Luo Nianxi took a deep breath and turned to look at Leng Yifei.
"Third Prince, could you please send someone to take Ling Yun back? He is seriously injured."
Leng Yifei nodded without hesitation, and then waved to the followers behind him.
"You guys are blind, why don't you go and lend a hand?"
The attendants hurried over, helped Ling Yun up, and carried him towards Prince Yan's Mansion.
Luo Nianxi was about to turn around and thank Leng Yifei, but he waved his hand.
"Let's go. I just happen to want to go to Prince Yan's Mansion to see my fourth brother."
He is going to Prince Yan’s Mansion?
Luo Nianxi couldn't help but gasp. Leng Yiyan was still unconscious in Bao'an Hall, so it was obviously not the right time for him to go.
Thinking of this, she smiled and shook her head to refuse.
"Prince Yan has been in a bad mood recently. He won't see you even if the Third Prince goes there. Please go back!"
Leng Yifei frowned and said:
"Okay! I heard that Rujing and Xiaowan are in Prince Yan's Mansion, I can go and see them."
This……
Those two were his sister and cousin. She seemed to have no reason to refuse, so she just nodded.
"Third Prince, please."
"Princess Yan, please."
After the two men exchanged some politeness, they walked towards Prince Yan's mansion together.
After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion, Luo Nianxi examined Ling Yun's wound. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and he only needed to apply some medicine and rest for a few days.
Ling Xiao was very worried when he heard that they had encountered an assassin on the road. Su Bu and Jiang Hai, who needed to take a shift and rest at night, also got up.
In the main hall of Yanjing Palace, Luo Nianxi asked Chuntao to guard the door. She looked at Ling Xiao and the other two and said with a serious expression:
"The assassin we encountered this time is the same person who came to assassinate the prince last time, so I guess there is a spy in our palace."
what?
Ling Xiao and the other two looked at her with horror.
"You don't have to doubt it, because it's not such a coincidence. The assassin wouldn't know exactly when I go out, nor would he lie in wait on the street every day. So, he must know my schedule and come prepared. Of course, assassinating me is not his goal. His ultimate goal is still Leng Yiyan, but he thinks I'm in his way. Now we have more than a hundred servants in our palace, and everyone is a suspect. We must find this spy as soon as possible, otherwise, our every move will be exposed to others, and the prince will be in danger at any time."
Jiang Hai waved his arms angrily.
"Let me know who this man is, and I'll tear him to pieces."
Su Yi frowned and winked at him.
"Jiang Hai, sit down. Why are you so anxious? The princess asked us to come. She must have an idea."
Ling Xiao also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Princess must have an idea. Tell us what you want us to do."
Seeing that these three people had guessed her thoughts, Luo Nianxi glanced at everyone calmly, and then told them her thoughts mysteriously...
