Chapter 489 There is an assassin
Pang Qiuyan panicked instantly, her voice trembling: "What happened?"
Chen Lang said solemnly: "It's hard to say now. I hope I'm worrying too much."
"But to be on the safe side, I can only prepare for the worst."
"Time waits for no one. I have to go first. Remember what I said, safety first."
Pang Qiuyan nodded tremblingly: "I understand. Come back soon then."
Chen Lang trotted back to the toy store and found Xiao Qi.
Originally, Chen Lang gave Xiao Qi a half-month vacation so that he could have a good honeymoon, but this guy was too loyal and came back after only five days.
But Xiaoqi's return is also beneficial to Chen Lang, because many of Chen Lang's "secrets" are only known by Xiaoqi.
"Xiao Qi, go home immediately and go to my laboratory. There are several sprays in the second drawer of cabinet number three. Bring them here."
Xiao Qi nodded and ran away.
Fortunately, the toy store was not far from the Chen residence, and it only took Xiao Qi a meal to go back and forth.
While Xiao Qi went to get the spray, Chen Lang stood at the door of the restaurant next to the toy store, staring at the private room where several strangers were hiding.
The people inside never came out, which made Chen Lang feel relieved.
But coincidentally, just as Xiao Qi handed the spray to Chen Lang, the door of the private room opened.
Chen Lang immediately pulled Xiao Qi and hid in the corner.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Xiao Qi asked in a low voice.
Chen Lang said, "I think there's something fishy about these people. They might be here to assassinate King Jiangxia."
Xiao Qi's eyes widened instantly: "Who is King Jiangxia?"
Chen Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You don't even know, why are you so excited?"
"Okay, let's go back to the toy store. I'm here for you."
Xiao Qi shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, Master, I have to protect you."
"Nonsense! If a fight really breaks out, should I protect you or you protect me?" Chen Lang said, "Hurry up and leave! You'll only be in the way if you stay here."
Xiao Qi curled her lips in grievance, but she also knew that what Chen Lang said was correct.
The young master not only has the magical weapon of spray, but also has strong skills himself. If a real fight breaks out, he can at least knock down three or four ordinary men.
I don't have any advantage in this regard.
"Sir, be careful."
Chen Lang nodded, and after Xiao Qi left, he sneaked into the restaurant.
In front of him, there were six people, including the nobleman who had given him gold before. Each of them was tall and strong, and they were all wearing coats made of animal skins. There were bulges around their waists, and it was obvious that they were carrying weapons.
Whether in terms of clothing or temperament, these people don't look like people from the Central Plains.
More like Liao people.
Chen Lang was a little puzzled. If these were really Liao people, then what was their motive for running to Linshui to assassinate King Jiangxia?
Isn’t the Liao people’s top priority now to deal with the Jurchens in the north?
Even if the Jurchens in this world were not that powerful and could be easily crushed, the Liao Kingdom and Dayan had been friendly neighbors for decades. Even when Dayan launched an attack on Western Xia, the Liao Kingdom once sent troops to the border between the two countries, but in the end no fighting broke out.
But if King Jiangxia died at the hands of the Liao people, then in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the Emperor of Dayan would definitely send troops to attack Liao.
Why did these people maliciously provoke a war between the two countries?
Chen Lang couldn't figure it out.
However, the current situation did not allow Chen Lang to stop and think. These people had already gone up to the second floor, and their target was very clear, which was the box where King Jiangxia Murong Daozon was.
The whereabouts of these people also aroused the vigilance of the guards outside the box. The guards had their hands on the hilts of their swords. If these people dared to approach, they would immediately draw their swords and drive them away.
After Chen Lang went up to the second floor, he walked in the opposite direction. After making a big circle, he came right in front of several people.
There is a large flowerpot here with lush green plants in it, which can just block Chen Lang's body. Chen Lang can also continue to observe the movements in front through the gaps in the green plants.
These people stopped about ten feet away from the box, sat down by the railing, and shouted loudly for the waiter to bring some wine.
The guards observed for a while and found that they seemed to be there just to drink, so they took their hands off the hilt of the knife.
After a while, someone patted Chen Lang on the shoulder.
Chen Lang was startled and took out the spray, almost spraying it behind him.
"ah!"
Pang Qiuyan screamed and stepped back repeatedly.
Chen Lang hid the spray and lowered his voice, "What are you doing?"
Pang Qiuyan felt a little aggrieved and said, "You said there would be danger, but I've been waiting for so long and there's been no movement."
"I saw you sneaking around behind a flowerpot, so I came over to say hello."
Chen Lang quickly glanced back and saw that the men were still sitting in their original positions. It seemed that the situation on his side had not attracted their attention. So he asked Pang Qiuyan, "What's going on in the house?"
Pang Qiuyan turned her head to the side: "I didn't go in, how would I know."
Chen Lang said, "You know whether the music has stopped or not."
Pang Qiuyan was about to speak when her eyes suddenly widened. She then raised her finger and pointed forward with an expression of extreme fear.
Chen Lang thought something was wrong and subconsciously pulled Pang Qiuyan down to squat.
Look back.
The strongest man in the group broke off a piece of wooden railing and threw it at the guard at the door of the box.
This sudden action completely confused King Jiangxia's guards, and none of them reacted.
The guard standing outside was hit on the head by the railing and let out a scream.
"on!"
Following the young master's order, everyone rushed forward except for one man who stayed behind to protect him.
"Assassin, there is an assassin!"
The guards finally reacted, shouting at the assassins and drawing their swords to fight.
The strength of these men was truly terrifying. After just one encounter, two guards fell to the ground, twitching uncontrollably all over. No one knew where they were hit to cause such a reaction.
The remaining guards were terrified and their morale was severely damaged. They were completely suppressed within a few breaths. Their defeat was only a matter of time.
Pang Qiuyan saw this and was about to rush forward, but Chen Lang quickly grabbed her and asked, "Are you crazy?"
Pang Qiuyan spoke with a tearful tone as she said, "Sister Qinghuan is still in there. I want to go save her."
Chen Lang said, "Miss Qiuyan, calm down! Listen to me."
"As long as I'm here, Qinghuan will never get into trouble."
"What you have to do now is find a place to hide!"
Before he finished speaking, a woman's scream was heard in the box.
The owner of the voice was Xie Qinghuan!
