The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 182. Close

After all, the servants of Jinying Prince’s Mansion were all well-trained. Jiang Ruan ordered them to do bird and beast dispersal. The lowly martial arts servants and servants all found a place to hide. Martial arts guards lie in wait in Xiao Shao’s study and bedroom.

Jiang Ruan was sitting in the main hall with a heavy face, and there were about a dozen guards around him. Butler Lin said anxiously: “Madam, if you really don’t want to leave, at least you have to find a place to hide. Don’t be here. Keep it here, what can I do when those people come in?”

“If I find a place to hide, those people who come in to find me will inevitably hurt the innocent, so why waste a few lives. I can see exactly what they want to do here, and it will kill me. , Or come to Jinying Palace for another purpose.” Jiang Ruan shook his head.

“这实在太凶险了。”林管家有些无奈，蒋阮这性子与萧韶一样，决定了的事情九头牛也拉不回来。况且这以身犯险的法子但凡爱惜性命的人都不会做的，蒋阮这是完全将生死置之度外了。这并非是什么大义，林管家生活了这么多年，看人也看的极准，蒋阮分明就是从来都没有将自己的安危放在心上。她的手段凌厉，心肠狠辣，若是有足够的筹码能达到目的，性命也能作为交易。只是如今蒋阮已经打定了主意，便是再也不可能变更的。林管家叹了口气，只好问道：“少夫人刚才的话是何故？怎么会让人烧了锦英王府周围的房子？”

“夜已深，哪里还有人在。若是不引出点动静，岂不是悄无声息的就接受了一场伏杀。这些人看似胆大，却还是只敢在夜里动手，想必是为了掩人耳目。既然打着了官差的幌子，我也不会客气的揭穿他。这一条街的房子都烧起来，势必会惊起众人，人越来越多，这时候只要有人再喊一声强盗来了，必然有人起了怀疑，夜里杀人放火不是小事。一家府上的侍卫不多，可一条街每个府上的侍卫加起来也不少。虽然可能对付不了那些人，可要一一灭口却是不可能的。他们心中慌乱，自然就会有所顾忌，只要有所顾忌，我们就能找到出口。”

林管家恍然大悟，道：“少夫人这主意想的不错，可若是第二日人问起来那火势又该如何？烧人房屋可是损阴德的。”

“火势与我们有什么关系？”蒋阮反问，林管家一愣，只听蒋阮轻描淡写道：“横竖是那些假冒官差的人弄出的动静，我们也是受害者。至于阴德……”她微微一笑：“这辈子还没活完呢，操心死后的事情做什么，今夜死的人可不是我们。”说到最后一句，语气已然转冷，隐隐竟有森然之感。

林管家定了定心神，又道：“那信号弹又是怎么回事？没听少夫人说过信号弹啊。”

“My cousin and I have been in private dealings,” Jiang Ruan said: “Xuanli’s attack on Jinying Palace in the future is bound to be the Zhao family. Since I married into the Jinying Palace, he would think that the Zhao family should be with the Xiao family. They belong to the same group. In order to prevent any accidents, my cousin and I have always been in secret contact. Jin Yiwei is inconvenient to go out tonight, but the Zhao family may not. The soldiers and horses of the Zhao family know it. The general mansion is not here. Yuan, since there is a ready-made city garrison, it is also a good idea to use the city garrison to kill the gangsters who are disguised as officials.” Jiang Ruan looked at the tea in front of him: “They want to ambush the entire Jinying Palace to catch turtles, but I have to rely on it. The soldiers and horses of the Zhao family swept them all at once. The people I sent to observe secretly by Xuan Li watched all this and wanted them to understand that even if there is no Xiao Shao in this palace of Jinying, it is by no means come and leave. The place!”

She was extremely indifferent, but the guards and Steward Lin who were ordered to protect were secretly shocked, and couldn’t help but convince her in their hearts. At the time, the people of Jinying Palace had also discussed which woman in the world could match Xiao Shao. In the end, only the daughter of the Yao family could barely count one. The daughter of the Yao family is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is extremely clever. But if Xiao Shao had married her, what would be the situation today? At least it will not be better than it is now. The daughter of the Yao family may be as wise as Jiang Ruan, and her appearance is hard to separate from Jiang Ruan, but she can never be a Jinying princess like Jiang Ruan. Because the young lady who grew up in a wealthy family learned long-sleeved dance, but not murderous, but accustomed to the tact and tact in the deep house, not the cruel fight in the dark night.

Only those who have experienced extreme pain and danger will have the courage to face any murderous intent. Her heart is extremely tough, as if she had not grown up in a deep house compound for the past ten years, but faced countless blood knife points. The road paved, only to practice her current hard-hearted.

Steward Lin said sternly: “The old slave knows, the old slave will do his best to protect the young lady’s safety.”

“You are not protecting me,” Jiang Ruan said lightly: “It’s Jinying Palace.”

Steward Lin moved in his heart and stopped talking.

The fire blazed into the sky and burned violently in the night. The crackling sound awakened people who were sleeping. Large families on a street started screaming and ran out to put out the fire. At the same time, they did not know where it was mixed with the noisy sound: “Come on. People, robbers are killing people!”

The panic contained in this voice instantly spread to everyone. Everyone’s sleepiness faded almost at the same time, and the guards in the mansion ran out with knives one after another. For a time, the whole street was very noisy, and the jokes and dogs jumped.

Xia Qing woke up dazedly from her sleep, dragged her shoes and put on her jacket and walked out of the house, looking at the young man who hurriedly ran over and said: “What’s the matter? Why is it so noisy outside?”

“My son, there is water in the house.” The young man replied hurriedly.

“Huh?” Xia Qing’s sleepiness suddenly became more than half awake, and said anxiously: “Why is it running? But someone is hurt?”

“No.” The young man touched his head: “We are not in a strong position here, and I don’t know what’s wrong. The mansions on this street are suddenly flooded, and the minion just heard the noise outside saying that there are robbers. You better don’t go out, son. No, stay in the house, and the minion will ask for news again.”

“Robber?” Xia Qing was taken aback: “Which robber is so rampant that he burned a house in a street and deceived people too much!” As he said this, he saw Qi Feng in another room also walk away in his outer clothes. When he came out, Qi Feng was obviously much more sober than him. Xia Qing said hurriedly: “Four brother, you were also woken up? Why do you think there are robbers here? Isn’t the emperor’s feet peaceful? This is too dangerous.”

Qi Feng was about to speak, suddenly moved, staring at a certain place in the sky without blinking. Xia Qing followed his gaze and saw clearly in the southwest sky. I don’t know when a firework is blooming. The firework is not very big. , The voice is very clear, especially crisp at night. Xia Qing was startled and said: “When is this, who still wants to play fireworks? Brother, what is going on with you?” He turned around and wanted to ask Qi Feng. The expression of the wind calmed down. Qi Feng’s face was a little pale, and there was a hint of panic in his always calm and shrewd eyes. He whispered: “Something has happened, she must have something wrong, I have to go and see.”

Having said that, no longer caring about Xia Qing, turning around and going out.

Xia Qing hurriedly stopped him: “Fourth brother, where are you going? There are robbers outside!”

“Shut up.” Qi Feng yelled: “Don’t go out where you stay here, don’t make me mess!” He rushed out of the yard, disappearing into the night.

Jiang Ruanfang walked into the main hall and listened to the guards from time to time to explain what the situation was outside. Sure enough, that fire had caused power, and Xu Shi had unexpectedly agitated so many people. The people outside were obviously a little bit crazy, so they simply stopped pretending to be officers and soldiers, and had already rushed straight into it. After all, the guards of Jinying Prince’s Mansion were all martial arts and powerful, but they didn’t let those people have the upper hand for a while. It’s just outnumbered, and the opponent is coming fiercely, I’m afraid it won’t last long.

Steward Lin was also very anxious in his heart. For so many years, the Jinying Palace had stood like a copper wall and iron wall in the capital, but at this moment he suddenly realized that those people had not dared to move Jinying Palace because Xiao Shao was there. Now that Xiao Shao is not there, the Jinying Prince’s Mansion is like a shabby house with its walls peeled off. The glory laid down by the ancestors is gradually fading. What everyone fears is Jin Yiwei, Xiao Shao, but not Jinying Palace. However, the future mistress of the palace is working hard to maintain it with a brave attitude. Seeing Jiang Ruan’s cold and calm appearance, the uneasy heart of Lin steward gradually calmed down.

“Madam, they have broken into the palace!” The guard reported.

“I will stop it with all my strength and kill it directly. Killing one is one, killing two and earning one person.” Jiang Ruan said slowly: “I’m still sitting in this place, what happened, I will bear it!”

She always has a calming tone in her heart, and she seems to be able to accurately grasp the places where people’s hearts are easiest to change. For example, such a moment of remarks immediately aroused the guards’ hearts to protect them. Even if a woman can regard death as home like this, how can a person in the palace retreat in front of hungry wolves? Before she knew it, she turned out to be the backbone of the entire Jinying Palace, and it seemed that as long as she was there, there was nothing to worry about.

But at this moment, Jiang Ruan did not seem to have the composure on the surface. Even if the General’s Mansion is not far from here, those people must be Xuanli’s dead men, and they will never show mercy. If Zhao Yi enters the yard before the troops arrive, everything is unknown. However, no matter what you think in your mind, you can’t reveal a copy on the face. Things in the world are most afraid of showing up, but any wave of her expression will affect the servants of Jinying Palace.

Time passed slowly in the nervousness of the people, and every moment seemed extremely long and difficult to handle. When the tea on the table was still cold, I heard the roar of the guard outside—the other person rushed into the yard. .

Jiang Ruan smiled lightly.

The lights were brightly lit, but after a short while, I saw people holding torches outside quickly came in, enclosing the entire yard. These people are all wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers, and at first glance, they are really like officers and soldiers on errands, but the murderous look in their eyes shows their intention.

This is already a one-sided situation.

After those people surrounded the yard, they didn’t act rashly for a while. The headed person walked out. What happened today is probably not fulfilled as planned. When accepting the task, the master also said that if you meet Jiang Ruan, something will happen. At first he didn’t take it to heart, but as a woman, at best he could only rely on a man’s power to drive a little bit of power. But it was discovered outside Jinying Palace that it was not because the sudden situation almost caused them to be overwhelmed.

The house on this street suddenly catches fire and it has something to do with the people in the house. Otherwise, if you don’t take the water early or late, the people on the street will wake up. Their identities are exposed, and if this task is not completed, it will be a dead end to return. What’s more, the sudden onset of fire made their plan a bit messy. It’s just that the signal flare in the air is true. I think it should be Jin Yiwei’s signal. The headed man’s heart is stunned. Thinking of the mysterious team, it is unavoidable to be full of fear. However, the master’s order cannot be disobeyed. As a dead soldier, you must have the consciousness of a dead soldier.

He entered the Jinying Palace all the way, and his men and the guards confronted each other, deliberately making a brutal gesture, originally intended to mess up the entire palace to act cheaply. But along the way, I never saw a small servant, except for the well-trained guards, I couldn’t see a panicked person at all. Silent fighting can’t be used to intimidate and deter, and even someone who wants to ask for a secret is missing. Everyone is very weird. When I arrived here, I saw a group of guards outside the main hall to protect me, and my heart knew it was the mistress.

In fact, their people have long been outside. If Jiang Ruan escaped from Jinying Palace, they would definitely be chased and killed. Before Jin Yiwei arrived, Jiang Ruan might not be able to escape. They made a foolproof idea, but they only missed that Jiang Ruan did not leave the Jinying Palace at all, and she did not intend to escape at all.

This is really stupid, and the leader feels incredible, just because under such circumstances, protecting the most important talent in the mansion is the right way to do it. It was heard that Xiao Shao was angrily concerned about this Hong’an princess. In this case, her safety should be put first, but Jiang Ruan would not leave Jinying Palace at all. This was originally an accident.

At this moment, the guards protecting Jiang Ruan were standing quietly outside the main hall. The maid in the main hall stood on both sides and fiddled with the silver carbon in the stove. The butler with the beard stood on the side and flipped things like the account book gently. No one glanced here, no one spoke, as if the voice was all gone. And these people did not see the general scene of them rushing into the yard with soldiers.

Everything is unbelievably peaceful, originally a very common and common and warm scene, here it seems a little weird, even a little weird.

The leader took a few steps forward, and a woman in red was sitting on the main seat of the main hall. A light red plum brocade and long piano jacket skirt with a flaming fox fur cloak on the outer head. The fox fur cloak was oily and watery, with shiny fur, dazzling like a gang at night. What’s more dazzling than that fox skin is the woman’s appearance. She holds a small heater in her hand, and her head is slightly lowered. Her long curly eyelashes tremble gently, her eyes are as moving as a puddle of autumn water, her skin is brighter than snow, her lips are red and her teeth are white. Although I haven’t seen the whole picture, I already feel that every move is wonderful and unspeakable, and it is really messing up people’s hearts.

This picture is so beautiful, it is almost unbearable to shock. However, the leader settled down, beckoned, and his subordinates slowly approached the main hall: “But Hong’an Princess?”

The girl in red slowly raised her head, revealing a charming and bright face. She seemed to see the fire in the courtyard, her expression moved slightly, and then disappeared for a moment, revealing a very shallow smile: “Exactly.”

“I’m sorry, the princess,” the man sneered: “When you get to Huangquan Road, I will also burn you a paper money!” His expression was gloomy, but his eyes were somewhat suspicious.

I don’t know if it is a coincidence, Xuan Liyong’s human nature is always somewhat similar to him, especially in the question of suspiciousness. The calmer Jiang Ruan was, the more nervous they were, for fear of any conspiracy. It is for this reason that she has been reluctant to do anything here, probably because she was afraid of some tricks, or Xuanli warned them before leaving.

There was a trace of disdain in Jiang Ruan’s eyes. If she returned her position in this person, she would never be so procrastinated. Life and death is hard to fight, looking forward and backward, will only ruin one’s own life. She sighed softly, but did not speak.

“What does the princess mean?” The man became more suspicious in his heart. But I heard Jiang Ruan’s smiling voice: “It’s late.”

“What’s late?” The man was taken aback, and then sneered: “Are the Jinyi guards here to help?”

“It’s late.” Jiang Ruan said calmly: “Jin Yiwei won’t come. Your master can’t test anything out.”

The person was shocked, almost taking two steps back, only to feel that Jiang Ruan’s eyes were astonishingly bright, and it was actually a compelling shock. He settled down and said coldly: “Why the princess deceives himself and others, and his mouth is still stubborn when he dies.”

“I thought, what on earth are you going to do, now I understand.” She smiled like a flower, and she was so glamorous in the fire, but her voice had a shocking coldness: “You can neither take my life nor test it tonight. The depth of the Jin Yiwei, of course, can’t get out of the gate of the palace, and there is no chance to survive. So I said,” She shrugged: “It’s late.”

The more she said this, the more nervous the person’s heart became, as if being pinched by someone seven inches, he could not help but be affected by her words, and he was not as sure as before. He immediately made a gesture to make his subordinates move, but as soon as he raised his hand halfway, he heard the sound of breaking through the air. Before he could turn his head, he saw an extra arrow on his chest. Arrows that didn’t know where they came from passed by his front heart.

Outside the courtyard of the Jinying Palace, on the roof, some black shadows have appeared at some point. These black shadows have been silently hidden in the dark, and someone outside the door shouted: “The bandits are rampant, and the city guard Zhao Yi is here. Therefore, it’s not too fast to catch it!”

Everyone was startled, the leader slowly fell down, Jiang Ruan’s voice came to him from far and near, with an inexplicable irony: “Huangquan all the way, please let me go.”

As soon as the leader died, the people underneath suddenly became a mess, and they didn’t care about anything. They fought with the city garrison brought by Zhao Yi for a while, and Jiang Ruan suddenly stood up from his seat. On the roof are all dark guards who are familiar with Jin, and the many words that have just been talked with the man in front are just a delay. The dark guards are hiding in the dark, which will give these people the illusion of Jin Yiwei’s magical illusion and suppress their aura. At this moment, she could see clearly that these people were really dead men, and now thinking that the leader is dead, it would be a dead word to return to the mission if the leader was not completed tonight, only the fish died and the net broke. Zhao Yi fought with those people, it may not be the winning ticket, but for a while, the near thirst can’t be quenched. Who else can help here.

She thought hard about countermeasures, but didn’t notice that several of the dead men had approached her. Steward Lin just explained the matter to the dark guard. Jiang Ruan walked to the gate of the courtyard. Bai Zhi and Forsythia screamed, Tian Zhu flew up and kicked the knife that was in front of Jiang Ruan away. Jiang Ruan turned his head, Tian Zhu He took her hand and hurriedly said, “Girl, let’s go to the house for a while, it’s too messy here.”

Jiang Ruan nodded. Now that Zhao Yi has come over, she was dragged down by staying here, and then followed Tianzhu and ran into the house with the maid. Unexpectedly, when Fang was halfway there, Tian Zhu was entangled by the dead men who bullied him, and more and more dead men came around, she was a living target. The dark guards are entangled with the crazy dead man, and no one can save her. Jiang Ruan glanced at a few Forsythias, turned around and ran in the other direction, always staying with her, Forsythias and the others would also be affected.

Fang ran to a corridor in the yard, but the ankle was grasped nonchalantly. Jiang Ruan lowered his head to see that a severely injured soldier woke up at this moment and grabbed her foot with all his strength. This manpower was so great that he couldn’t get rid of it. When another dead man saw it, he raised a knife and slashed at Jiang Ruan without even thinking about it. Jiang Ruan couldn’t move, so he stood in place like a living target and watched the light of the knife fall on his head. He was about to die on the spot.

Qi Feng, who just ran to Jiang’s mansion to find Jiang Ruan, came into his eyes, and he immediately called out heartbreakingly: “Jiang Ruan!”

The sadness and great grief in that voice almost drowned people for an instant. Jiang Ruan had not had time to react. The next moment, a black figure flew over, grabbed her and held her in his arms, which could be avoided. That dangerous knife light.

The icy embrace still carried the familiar fragrance of freshness, Jiang Ruan was taken aback for a moment. Under the moonlight, the person was cold and frosty, and he uttered two words: “Looking for death.”
