PDLP Chapter 170 Caught Him
Chapter 170 Caught Him
Xiao Mo saw through the assassin's intention and knocked down the assassin who was fighting with her with a sweeping kick.
This sudden change of tactics caught the assassin off guard and he fell straight to the ground.
Xiao Mo glanced at him and was about to run towards the emperor when she saw a figure flash past her.
Xu Renchuan raised his sword and stabbed it straight into the head of the assassin who wanted to "assassinate" the emperor.
Just when the tip of the sword was about to touch the assassin, he suddenly realized that the assassin in such situations usually had to be kept alive so that it would be easier for the emperor to interrogate him and find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, he retracted his sword, raised his foot and kicked the assassin hard on the waist, then used his back as a springboard to jump over the steps and protect the emperor.
The emperor was very satisfied with his performance.
After landing, Xu Renchuan just stabilized his body and turned around, and saw the last assassin who appeared rushing towards him with a dagger.
Before he could fight back, Xiao Mo kicked him from the side and knocked him to the ground.
At this time, the two assassins who jumped out first were already planning how to escape.
However, the assassin who appeared later was not like them. Not only did he not want to leave, but he became more aggressive, as if he would not stop until he had killed Xu Renchuan.
He fought fiercely with Xiao Mo and Xu Renchuan, but after a few moves he gradually lost the upper hand.
There were wounds of varying sizes on his body. If the emperor had not wanted to live, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Seeing that he was no match for them, he had no choice but to throw a smoke bomb and escape in order to save his life.
After the smoke cleared, Xiao Mo wanted to chase after him, but Qi Minxiu quickly grabbed her.
She was afraid that no one would chase after him and the assassin would go unpunished. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the emperor's guards rushing past her one by one and heading straight for the door.
The emperor glanced at the messy banquet, stood up and walked down the stairs with an expressionless face.
"Today's banquet ends here. My dear nobles, please return home as soon as possible."
The uninformed civil servants recalled what had just happened, their faces turning pale with fear, and they wanted to leave soon.
After hearing the emperor's words, he didn't want to stay any longer. He pretended to be calm, saluted the emperor, and left the hall as quickly as possible.
Xiao Mo looked back at Xu Renchuan, and suddenly remembered that Shen Yun was still in Taoyuan. She wondered what the situation was like there.
Anyway, the emperor has released the person now, and there are special people to track down the assassin, so she simply followed the civil servants out of the palace.
On the other side, Shen Yun and several secret guards borrowed from Prince Chen's Mansion were lurking around Taoyuan, waiting for the mysterious man to appear.
When Xiao Mo arrived, they were fighting. After careful identification, she found that the other party also brought several men with him.
When the leader saw Xiao Mo coming, he was afraid that Qi Minxiu was following her, so he didn't dare to take the risk and quickly waved his hand to signal his men to retreat.
They were not at the upper hand in the previous fight, and now with the addition of Xiao Mo and Qi Minxiu, or even more people, wouldn't they be doomed to die?
They wanted to escape, but Xiao Mo didn't intend to give them the chance.
Feng Zhiqiu has been living in seclusion here, and it is impossible for her to make enemies with people outside. It goes without saying that this group of people are coming for her.
Xiao Mo jumped off the horse, jumped up, and blocked their way.
The two men looked at each other and raised their swords to fight again.
During the fight, Xiao Mo pulled off the opponent's veil and was stunned when she saw the face clearly.
She seemed to have seen this person somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.
The person fighting with her turned his head away for fear of being recognized.
While he was distracted, Xiao Mo kicked him on the forehead and subdued him.
When she placed the sword on his neck, the man looked up at her.
Seeing the corners of his mouth twitch slightly, Shen Yun beside him suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted to Xiao Mo: "Miss, stop him quickly, he wants to commit suicide by taking poison!"
Xiao Mo frowned, retracted the sword, raised her hand and slashed hard on the man's shoulder and neck.
The man was hit hard and vomited unexpectedly, spitting out the pill in his mouth before he could chew it. He also fell to the ground with a dazed look in his eyes.
Once he's dealt with, the others will be easy to handle.
Xiao Mo squatted down, turned the man over, tore off a piece of strong cloth from the corner of his clothes, crossed the man's hands behind his back, and tied only his two thumbs.
After controlling him, Xiao Mo went to Shen Yun.
The remaining few people combined were not as strong as the one lying on the ground. They were quickly defeated by them.
This place is quite some distance away from Taoyuan, and it can be easily noticed by people who practice martial arts.
But for women in the harem like Feng Zhiqiu, no sound could be heard at all.
When Xiao Mo rushed over, Feng Zhiqiu didn't know what was going on and thought she was here to see her, so she was as happy as usual.
Seeing that she had no idea about this matter, Xiao Mo didn't say anything and left after staying for a while.
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, as soon as she entered the door, she walked towards Lin's yard in a menacing manner.
The servants couldn't stop her, so they could only go to find Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu.
At this time, Lin was catching butterflies in the yard. When she saw the door opened and the person who came in was Xiao Mo, the expression on her face did not change at all.
But when she saw that there was a familiar person following her, even she, who was good at disguising herself, was frightened and turned pale.
Xiao Mo walked to the front hall and just sat down when Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu hurried away.
As soon as he entered the yard, Xiao Wenbo showed a very impatient expression.
"Mo'er, what are you doing?!"
Murong Shu followed behind him, but unlike him, she just looked at Xiao Mo with some confusion.
Xiao Mo stared at Lin, who was giggling not far away, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"My daughter fell off a cliff in the Western Frontier and was fortunately rescued by a woman who had no children. My daughter brought her back to the Imperial City.
Because of the huge difference in social status, the daughter bought a house for her outside the city and visited her when she had time.
But after the palace banquet ended today, my daughter went to see her benefactor and found this thief outside her courtyard.
He brought a group of assassins and actually tried to assassinate my benefactor, but fortunately I discovered him and captured him."
Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu listened carefully and were slightly surprised for a moment. They didn't expect that she had a mistress outside and they knew nothing about it.
But at the same time, he was also quite confused, wondering what the relationship was between this so-called assassin and the Lin family.
"Since he's an assassin, just kill him. Why bring him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why are you making trouble here?"
"Because this person belongs to Aunt Lin."
This made the two even more confused: "He told you?"
Xiao Wenbo pointed at the man on the ground.
Xiao Mo sneered, "I wonder if Father still remembers that before we went to Western Xinjiang, I was drugged and set up at my birthday party."
Xiao Wenbo frowned and thought for a moment: "Why did it go so far again?"
"Because this person was the one who pretended to be our maid at the banquet and asked me to choose the wine, and then I fell into the trap."
Xiao Mo said this and turned her gaze towards Lin.
"Before I fainted, she took off the mask on her face, so I saw it clearly.
Later, when they tracked down the murderer, they found out that he was from Aunt Lin's family.
So, father, do you still think this matter has nothing to do with Aunt Lin?"
