God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 43 Assassination
The next morning, the sun shone through the window and gently sprinkled on the floor of the room, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Lu Tingyan woke up slowly, stretched, then slowly got out of bed and simply washed and dressed. After washing, she opened the door and saw the handsome figure at a glance. At this moment, Jun Moyuan was standing in the middle of the yard with his hands behind his back, staring quietly into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Tingyan walked to Jun Moyuan with light steps and called softly, "Brother Moyuan..."
Hearing the voice, Jun Moyuan turned around, looked at her gently, and said with a smile: "Sister Yan'er, you're up. Let's go say goodbye to uncle." After that, he gently took Lu Tingyan's hand and walked towards the hall together.
When they walked into the hall, they found that the master had already sat in the main seat, looking down and reading a book. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Yuan'er, Miss Lu, you are here! Did you sleep well last night?" the sect leader asked with concern.
"Uncle, we had a good rest last night. Thank you for your concern." Jun Moyuan bowed with a very respectful tone.
"That's good. What brings you here today?" The sect leader put down the book in his hand and looked at them.
"Uncle, my sister Yan'er and I have decided to leave today. We came here just to say goodbye to you." Jun Moyuan stood up and said solemnly.
"Oh? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Won't you stay a few more days?" The sect leader frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Uncle, we have been away from home for several days, and our parents must be worried. Lujia Village is indeed a beautiful place, and the villagers are hospitable and kind-hearted. If you have free time, you might as well come with me to Lujia Village to stay for a while and experience the local customs and culture firsthand." Jun Moyuan invited sincerely.
"Oh? Lujia Village is so good! It's a pity that I still have many matters to deal with in the Abyss Gate, and I am really too busy to attend to them." My uncle showed a look of regret and responded helplessly.
Jun Moyuan knew that his uncle had a heavy responsibility, but he still did not give up: "Uncle, just think of it as a way to relax. Lujia Village has picturesque scenery and fresh air, which is also good for your health. Moreover, you can also teach me martial arts by the way."
My uncle couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, you are really good at finding excuses. However, I do want to go and see what's so special about the Lujia Village you mentioned, and visit the benefactor who saved Yuan'er."
Seeing that his uncle was wavering, Jun Moyuan quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Uncle, why don't you come with us today!" His eyes were firm, and he seemed to have made up his mind.
However, my uncle shook his head solemnly and said, "Yuan'er, I need to arrange the matters of the Dark Abyss Gate first, so that I can go with you without any worries." He knew that the responsibility was heavy and he couldn't leave easily.
Jun Moyuan understood his uncle's difficulties, so he stopped forcing him: "Okay, uncle, wait until you finish your business, and then we will go to Lujia Village together." Although he felt a little disappointed, he also understood his uncle's decision.
The uncle patted Jun Moyuan's shoulder and comforted him, "Yuan'er, don't worry. Once your uncle has made all the arrangements, he will definitely go with you. I believe that the beautiful scenery and fresh air of Lujia Village will definitely make your uncle feel happy and relaxed."
Jun Moyuan nodded, showing his understanding. He knew that his uncle was always rigorous and responsible and would not act rashly. All he could do was wait patiently, looking forward to embarking on the journey to Lujia Village with his uncle.
"Uncle, then please go and take care of the matter quickly. I will wait here patiently for your return." Jun Moyuan nodded sensibly.
A moment later, the sect leader hurried back to the hall and said, "Yuan'er, everything has been arranged, we can set off." The sect leader's tone revealed a sense of relief.
"Great, Sister Yan'er, let's set off immediately." Jun Moyuan said to Yan'er beside him with a smile. Then, the group set out on the journey home with great expectations, and their figures gradually disappeared in the distance.
However, on the way back, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, a group of mysterious men in black appeared in front of them like ghosts. Jun Moyuan's heart tightened, and he instantly realized that these uninvited guests were the cold-blooded killers sent by the prime minister.
"Everyone be careful! You must protect Yan'er!" Jun Moyuan shouted loudly, his voice full of anxiety and concern. Before he finished speaking, he threw himself into the fierce battle without hesitation.
At the same time, the sect leader also issued an order: "Protect your master no matter what!"
Many masters of the Dark Abyss Sect immediately appeared and started a thrilling life-and-death fight with those fierce men in black. Jun Moyuan was agile and skilled in martial arts, and it didn't take long for him to easily knock several men in black to the ground.
However, more and more men in black poured towards Jun Moyuan like a tide. They were as ferocious as hungry wolves. Jun Moyuan and his men gradually felt overwhelmed and exhausted, and they couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
At this critical moment, the assassin leader keenly sensed the opportunity and shot an arrow without hesitation. An extremely sharp arrow rushed towards Jun Moyuan like lightning. Lu Tingyan saw this scene and rushed towards Jun Moyuan without hesitation, blocking the fatal arrow with her delicate body.
"Yan'er!" Jun Moyuan was terrified and roared at the top of his lungs. He quickly hugged Lu Tingyan, but was shocked to see that blood was gushing from her chest.
"Brother Yuan, I'm fine..." Lu Tingyan spoke with difficulty, her breath weak.
Jun Moyuan was heartbroken and filled with grief and anger. He secretly vowed to make these men in black pay for their blood debt with blood.
So, he immediately gave an order, requiring everyone to go all out to kill all the men in black and leave no one alive. Then he picked up Lu Tingyan and rushed back to Lujia Village without stopping.
Jun Moyuan rushed back to Lujia Village with Lu Tingyan in his arms. He was extremely anxious and just hoped that Doctor Lu could treat her as soon as possible.
At this moment, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Su was extremely anxious, pacing around in his study like an ant on a hot pot. He anxiously waited for his subordinates' report, but time passed by, and until the early hours of the morning, no one came to deliver the news. He couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart that this operation might be dangerous!
The prime minister frowned and looked solemn. He knew that the situation was urgent and he could not sit still and wait for death. So he decisively called the butler beside him: "Quick! Go and check the situation immediately to see if things are going smoothly."
The butler quickly responded, "Yes, sir!" and hurried away to begin investigating the matter.
The next morning, the butler hurried back to the Prime Minister's residence and reported to him, "My Lord! All those assassins were wiped out, and no one survived. According to the last report, the last place His Royal Highness was seen was in Yuncheng!"
When the prime minister heard this, he flew into a rage and said, "You are a bunch of good-for-nothings, you are such a bunch of useless people! You can't even handle a little prince, how can you accomplish anything?" While cursing, he glared at the butler fiercely.
Then, the Prime Minister turned to look at the housekeeper and ordered in a stern tone: "Immediately send people to search the surrounding areas of Yuncheng. If the prince is found, he will be executed immediately. He must not be allowed to escape!"
"Yes, sir! I'll arrange it right away." The butler replied hurriedly.
"Also, prepare a carriage for me. I want to go to the palace in person." The prime minister immediately issued another order.
"Yes, sir." The butler nodded respectfully.
Not long after, the Prime Minister entered the palace in a carriage. After seeing the Imperial Concubine, he hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, although we found the Crown Prince lurking around Yuncheng this time, he finally slipped away. But don't worry, I have already arranged people to deal with this matter."
"Dad, the emperor seems to have become suspicious of us. We must be extra careful in this operation!" the imperial concubine reminded worriedly.
The prime minister nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood his daughter's concerns. After discussing for a while, the two decided to adopt a more cautious strategy to avoid causing more suspicion and doubt from the emperor.
