When Ye Zhen left the Lu family's house, it was already afternoon. The streets were much quieter than in the morning. She recalled today's conversation with Lu Zhenzhu in the carriage. It's not that she didn't suspect that Lu Zhenzhu was the hypnotized Lu Wushuang, but after this trip, she felt that Lu Zhenzhu was not Lu Wushuang.
When Ye Yaoyao was hypnotized, she forgot everything before, but Lu Zhenzhu still remembered every bit of her childhood. Listening to her talk about the past, it seemed that it was not fake. If she had not experienced it herself, it would be impossible for her to talk about it in such detail.
Perhaps, she thought too much.
"Xue Lin, go to the yamen." She didn't know how her eldest brother's investigation was going. It would not be easy for a county magistrate to fight against the marquis's family.
"Yes." Xue Lin answered from outside.
The carriage moved forward with the windlass. Before it reached the yamen, it suddenly jolted and the carriage stopped in a hurry.
Ye Zhen grabbed the windowsill in a hurry to avoid being thrown out of the carriage.
"Princess, stay in the carriage and don't come out." Xue Lin's voice came in from outside the carriage.
"What happened?" Ye Zhen raised the curtain and asked. She saw Xue Lin fighting with two men in black in front of her, and the coachman was also dealing with one.
What's going on? Ye Zhen was shocked.
"Princess, we meet again." Just when Ye Zhen suspected that Marquis Zhong Huai knew that she was Lu Xiangzhi's sister and came to deal with her, she heard a familiar voice. Turning her head, she saw a bald man sitting on the roof. He was wearing ordinary narrow-sleeved clothes, but his head was bare. She quickly remembered who he was.
It was the fake monk who wanted to assassinate her in Hu Guo Temple!
"It's you!" Ye Zhen looked at him coldly. When this man escaped, he said that he would come to her again. How dare he show up?
"Princess, seeing that you are so beautiful, it would be a pity to kill you. It's just that the buyer had issued a lifetime kill order. Even if he is already dead, we, Thousand Rakshasa, still cannot let you go. This is the principle of doing business, I hope you can understand." The bald man said with a smile. "Princess, look at you.
Ye Zhen sneered, "It's not difficult. Can't I just kill you?"
"If you kill me, there will be more people coming to kill you." The bald man jumped down from the roof. "I've been looking for you for a long time in the past six months. It's not easy to find you alone. Princess, don't make things difficult for me. Hurry up and die. "
"Alone?" Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Are you blind? Can't you see that there are others around me?"
The bald man said, "Your guards won't be able to save you in time."
After that, he reached out to grab Ye Zhen.
The palace maid, who had been beside Ye Zhen, had already pushed Ye Zhen into the carriage when the bald man rushed over. She hit the bald man with her palm and shook him several meters away.
"You …" The bald man clutched his numb arm and looked at the servant girl in disbelief. "I really can't tell that there are so many crouching tigers and hidden dragons around the princess. Even a servant girl is so skilled in martial arts."
Ye Zhen glanced at the palace maid. For the first time, she knew that this palace maid, who usually didn't speak much, was so powerful, but now was not the time to be shocked.
"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" Ye Zhen asked with a sneer.
The bald man looked at Xue Lin and felt that his chances of killing Ye Zhen today were still not great. He shouted, "I'll let you go today and let you live a few more days."
"Catch him." Ye Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly ordered the palace maid to catch him.
She wanted to know who was trying to kill her. Listening to Mo Rongzhan's words, it seemed that Prime Minister Xu paid for the killer. Did she have such a deep hatred with the Xu family?
The bald man turned and wanted to escape, but before he could jump on the roof, the palace maid had grabbed his clothes and pulled it down hard.
This time, he didn't dare to underestimate her. He tried his best to fight with the palace maid, but before he could decide the winner, Lu Xiangzhi appeared with the soldiers.
"Big brother, that man is going to kill me. Catch him alive." Ye Zhen saw Lu Xiangzhi and pointed to the bald man.
Lu Xiangzhi immediately stepped forward to help the palace maid deal with the bald man.
This time, no matter how good the bald man's qinggong was, he could not escape from the hands of these soldiers.
Xue Lin subdued the two black-robed men and came over directly to the bald man's chin. "Don't let him commit suicide by poison."
The bald man babbled, saying something along the lines of 'I won't commit suicide by taking poison, he won't die' and so on.
Lu Xiangzhi asked people to take the bald man and his companions back and walked to Ye Zhen's side. "Who is this?"
"He tried to assassinate me in the capital before, but he escaped. I didn't expect to meet him in Phoenix Tree City." Ye Zhen said in a deep voice, "He should have followed me for a while, otherwise he would not know that I only took Xue Lin out today."
"Who sent him?" Lu Xiangzhi asked. His sister had been safe and sound in the border town for so many years. How come someone wanted to kill her not long after she lived in the capital?
Ye Zhen said, "Big brother, let's talk slowly on the way."
Lu Xiangzhi nodded. "Let's go to the yamen first."
After getting back on the carriage, Ye Zhen turned her attention to the palace maid sitting opposite her.
This palace maid was arranged by Mo Rongzhan. She didn't know whether she was transferred from the palace or found from other places. She had always been a person of few words beside her, almost without a sense of existence. Ye Zhen didn't pay much attention to her.
"What's your name?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Replying to the princess, this servant's humble name is Jianjia." The palace maid replied in a low voice.
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "It's a good name. Have you always been working in the palace?"
"This servant used to work in Baihao City." Jianjia continued.
So, when Mo Rongzhan took her to the palace, he had already thought of placing Jianjia beside her?
"Who did you learn your martial arts from?" Ye Zhen asked curiously. She could see that Jianjia's martial arts were no worse than the bald man's.
Jianjia said, "This servant learned it from my father."
Ye Zhen was slightly startled, feeling that this Jianjia was not as simple as an ordinary palace maid. "You …"
When she wanted to ask again, the carriage had stopped, interrupting Ye Zhen's unspoken question.
"Yao Yao, we're here." Lu Xiangzhi said from outside.
Ye Zhen glanced at Jianjia and planned to go back and ask Mo Rongzhan. Jianjia seemed to be very wary and would not tell her everything.
Lu Xiangzhi helped Ye Zhen's men get off the carriage. "How are you going to deal with that man?"
"Lock him up first, I'll ask him myself." Ye Zhen said.
"Who is he?" Lu Xiangzhi asked.
"I heard that he is a man of Qian Luocha." Ye Zhen wondered what kind of thing Qian Luocha was. How could he send such a person with poor martial arts to assassinate her? Not only was his martial arts not good, even his brain was not very good.
Lu Xiangzhi was frightened by the words Qian Luocha. "What did you say? Qian Luocha? "
