My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Of course, the visit to Qin Jingtai at Changning Academy did not take place.

When Qin Jingtai, who was fishing in the rain, heard that Bai Shaoqiu was attacked at the Broken Bridge, Bai Shaoqiu had already been taken back to the palace by the black-armored cavalry sent by the palace.

Qin Jingtai held the fishing rod with a frown on his face for a whole cup of tea.

The float made of goose feathers was dragged away by the fish.

He didn't see it.

The fish must have been very big, dragging the fishing rod in his hand away, but he still didn't know it.

He looked at the drizzling rain and felt that the weather was becoming increasingly gloomy and a little cold.

"Something big is going to happen!"

He stood up, turned around, and walked into the thatched cottage.

He sat quietly for another cup of tea before grinding ink, picking up his pen, and writing a letter.

The city defense office was in chaos.

Ge Gang was furious!

As the city defender, there are so many assassins hiding in Xiling City!

These bastards actually attacked the prince's son-in-law and the fourth young master!

Bai Shaoqiu's calf was pierced by an arrow, and the Fourth Young Master was hit in the buttocks by an arrow!

There is physical pain but no worry about life, this is a blessing in disguise!

Four of the five assassins died under the sticks of the Fourth Young Master, and the only one who survived even ran away!

After searching the four assassins' bodies, no clues were found...

Ge Gang squatted beside the four bloody corpses again. He searched them again personally. After a long time, he stood up and stomped hard on the corpse in front of him!

"Pass on my orders...!"

"The whole city is on alert!"

"Search the whole city for anyone involved in the underworld!"

"Arrest them all and take them to prison until I personally come to try them!"

Back in the backyard of the City Guard Mansion, Madam Zhang Linglong brewed a pot of tea for Ge Gang. Looking at Ge Gang's dark face, she pondered for three breaths before bursting into laughter:

"Someone actually dared to assassinate that son-in-law."

"What a pity, that idiot is lucky enough to survive."

"This can be considered as a relief for our son!"

Before Zhang Linglong could finish her words, Ge Gang slapped her in the face.

With a "bang", Zhang Linglong was knocked off balance.

"You idiot!"

"Losing ten thousand taels of silver is a small matter, and having my son beaten up by Bai Shaoqiu is also a small matter!

"Do you know the consequences of Bai Shaoqiu's assassination?!"

"It would be great if we could find out the identity of this assassin and report it to the palace!"

“It’s impossible to find out now!”

"What would the prince think?"

"I'm telling you, anyone who has ever provoked Bai Shaoqiu before...will never have a good ending!"

"The Three Rings can't escape responsibility either!"

"I'm afraid my time as a city defender is almost over!"

Zhang Linglong didn't even have time to cry.

She got up from the ground, covering her face with one hand, her eyes full of shock:

"Master, this city guard was appointed by the Emperor. The prince..."

"You know shit!"

"There is no emperor in this little piece of land!"

"Only the King of Zhenxi!"

"You fools have no idea how powerful the King of Zhenxi is!"

"Have someone prepare the car,"

"...Master, are you going to leave here?"

Ge Gang was furious and raised his hand, but the slap didn't come after all:

"Leave? Can I leave?"

"I'm going to the palace!"

"You must give the prince an explanation!"

……

……

County Palace.

Qing'er was very nervous.

Although Doctor Zou from the palace had cleaned the wound and applied medicine to the son-in-law, and although Doctor Zou said that the son-in-law's life was not in danger and only needed to rest for a month or so before he could walk, Qing'er was still very worried.

The son-in-law now is really a son-in-law!

He is the princess's favorite!

If the princess knew who did this...

Qing'er swallowed her saliva and thought that with the princess's temper, she would probably kill the entire family of the mastermind!

The prince and princess were also in the west wing.

I heard that the Fourth Young Master was also injured, but the prince and princess didn't even look at him and just stayed there.

It seems that the son-in-law's life is more important than the fourth young master's.

Yes, my son-in-law is different now.

But why did the princess hide it from her brother-in-law?

The princess did not explain, but just told her not to be exposed.

So much so that the son-in-law still believes that the princess is killing barbarians in the Western Wilderness.

The prince's words interrupted Qing'er's thoughts:

"Does it still hurt?"

Of course it hurts!

There is no painkiller in this world!

No anesthetic yet!

The doctor sewed a total of twenty-two stitches!

Bai Shaoqiu was sweating profusely from the pain, and he bit a piece of cloth without making a sound!

This made the King of Zhenxi take notice.

Because his fourth son had eight stitches on his buttocks, he screamed eighteen times!

The sound was earth-shaking. Prince Zhenxi felt annoyed after hearing it, so he came to the Princess's Mansion. Seeing that his son-in-law was so strong, he became even more happy and asked in a soft voice.

Bai Shaoqiu forced a smile:

"It's better to be hurt a little than to lose your life."

The King of Zhenxi nodded: "That's true."

"It's common for soldiers to get injured when going to war. Zou Kongqing is a military doctor. He's very experienced and is especially good at treating injuries like this. If he says it's okay, then it's okay."

"You don't have much to do anyway, so just rest here for a month or so."

"What do you think of this assassination?"

"They're coming for you, not Sibaozi!"

"Have you offended anyone recently?"

Bai Shaoqiu thought for a moment and said, "If I had to say who I offended, it would be the incident at Zhuxi Bridge."

"A Chang Huan, the second son of Chang's Bookstore, Chang Huan. I kicked him."

"The other one is Ge Sanjie from the City Guard House... I broke his arm."

"The rest... is Song Zigui, but he's already escaped. With his abilities, he can't network with these martial arts masters."

The King of Zhenxi frowned and nodded slightly, "Think carefully about it and see if there is anything else."

Bai Shaoqiu pondered for three breaths and recalled what happened in Qianwei Tower a few days ago.

He told the story of rejecting the old man in black, and finally added:

"The old man in black had a gold-rimmed mirror the size of a copper coin hanging around his waist... I don't know if he's from the Xuanjing Division."

The King of Zhenxi's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"You guessed right, he is Yu Donglin, one of the three Golden Mirror Envoys of the Xuanjing Division!"

"...What about the boy?"

"Shang Shan, grandson of Shang Shu, the head of Xuan Jing Division!"

"I just rejected his invitation. It won't cost me my life, right?"

The King of Zhenxi stood up and said, "Father-in-law will take care of this matter for you, just focus on recovering from your injuries!"

The princess also stood up and tucked the quilt around Bai Shaoqiu, her face full of concern.

"Child, if you need anything, just tell Qing'er. Your father-in-law will take care of the rest."

"Thank you!"

"We're a family, it would be awkward to say thank you."

family?

Bai Shaoqiu was grateful for the concern of the prince and princess, but when it came to being a family... he couldn't help but think of Dongfang Meng again.

The prince and princess had already left. He suddenly shuddered. Qing'er took a look and hurried forward:

"Sir, are you cold? I'll light a charcoal fire for you."

"Ah... no, ask someone to go to the West Market and find a blacksmith shop. Ask Blacksmith Wang Sanchui to come see me at the Princess's Mansion tomorrow."

Qing'er: "...What's the name of the blacksmith shop?"

"It's called a blacksmith shop."

"Oh,"

"Send someone to Jinli Alley again. There's a small courtyard at the east end of the alley. In the courtyard is an old man named Uncle Fu and a girl named Xiaoxi."

"They would be worried if they knew I was assassinated. I told them not to worry... I'm fine, I just need to wait a while before visiting them again."

"it is good!"

"That's it, buy a pair of crutches. Lying down is uncomfortable, I want to get up!"
