Chapter 9: Ding Lingguang rescues Xiao Yan

When the Assassin arrived at the Yongzhou Assassin's Mansion in the capital, Xiao Yan had already set off for Yongzhou.

Nameless looked at the house, it was already empty!

He thought to himself: Oh no, I can't explain to Your Majesty this time. I've never missed. This time, the information was inaccurate, which made Xiao Yan slip away.

I have no choice but to die to apologize!

So, Nameless drew his sword and committed suicide.

After Xiao Baojuan found out, he said to the eunuch Xiao Yu: "It seems that I can only send another killer." Otherwise, once Xiao Yan has a defense, he will have no chance! ”

"Your Majesty, we can let the local wealthy clan in Yongzhou kill Xiao Yan. For example, Sima Wanjin, the richest man in Yongzhou. He had long wanted to have an official position. It's a pity that he was not from a scholar family, so he didn't get an official position. Xiao Yu smiled.

"Good way. Do so. He would be grateful. If I give him a county order, he will be very happy! Xiao Baojuan smiled.

Besides, Xiao Yan, his family is on a boat. So I arrived in Yongzhou in a few days.

After arriving in Yongzhou, Xiao Yan saw that the people were all welcoming him at the dock!

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Yan asked.

"We ordinary people have heard about it, you are a great sage!" Uncle Hu, a citizen of Yongzhou, said with a smile.

"I'm not a saint! Where did you hear the rumors? Xiao Yan asked.

"Not a rumor. You have defeated the barbarians of Wei many times, and you are a great hero in the eyes of our people. Our people admire you very much and worship you! Uncle Hu said with a smile.

"Really? Am I that famous? Why don't I know about it? Xiao Yan smiled.

At this time, Chen Qingzhi said to everyone: "Lord Assassin Shi still has a lot of official business to deal with. If you have any grievances or difficulties, come to the mansion. Disperse y'all. ”

Then the people dispersed......

At the same time, Sima Wanjin, the richest man in Yongzhou, summoned the killer Lu Ping at the inn.

Lu Ping is a famous killer in Yongzhou.

He likes to assassinate Wang Sun Guixuan, because he has the protection of Sima Wanjin, so he has nothing to do!

In the inn box, Sima Wanjin sat on the position, and his posture looked particularly bloated.

On the table are a variety of delicacies:

Braised bear's paw, steamed sea bass......

Lu Ping asked, "Master Sima, what do you want to ask me for?" ”

"Lu Ping, I'm asking you to kill someone. This person is a relative of the emperor! Do you dare to do it? Sima Wanjin asked.

"Who?"

"This person is the imperial uncle of His Majesty today, Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou." Sima Wanjin opened the fan and said.

"Xiao Yan. This man is famous all over the world! If he really didn't know what to do, he was killed. Won't His Majesty pursue it today? Lu Ping was a little scared!

The sweat on his head was dripping down the table.

He thought to himself: I am old and young. If you kill Xiao Yan. I'm sure I'll be killed by Your Majesty. It's not worth it!

"No, it won't. To tell you the truth, it was His Majesty who asked me to kill Xiao Yan today. Xiao Yan came to Yongzhou because he offended His Majesty in the capital. If you can really kill Xiao Yan, Your Majesty can reward you with a thousand gold, and you don't have to worry about it for a few lifetimes! ”

When Sima Wanjin spoke, his eyes began to glow.

"The problem is that Xiao Yan must have bodyguards." Lu Ping was embarrassed.

His face began to turn gloomy!

He thought to himself: Your Majesty may not use me as a scapegoat. Maybe I'll be killed by His Majesty!

"I've looked into it. Xiao Yan didn't have any bodyguards around him, only a scholar named Chen Qingzhi. No one else! Sima Wanjin said with a smile.

"How is that possible? Xiao Yan is the emperor's uncle, how could he not have bodyguards? Lu Ping couldn't help but be a little incredulous.

He thought to himself: Why do I think Sima Wanjin is deceiving me?

"Not really. Xiao Yan is more confident, so he doesn't hire bodyguards. He has a lot of martial arts, you need to be careful. Sima Wanjin said worriedly.

"That's even worse. Xiao Yan is a person who has been a general, and he once repelled the army of Wei, and his martial arts should be good. The people I usually kill are people who are not very good at martial arts! Lu Ping still didn't want to participate.

"Really? Are your martial arts so bad? Even Xiao Yan can't beat it? Sima Wanjin said with a smile.

"I can defeat Xiao Yan. But to kill him is by no means an easy task. Lu Ping was a little worried.

"Why isn't it easy? You can use poison! Sima Wanjin said with a smile.

At this moment, Ding Lingguang, the little girl outside the door, heard their conversation.

She is fourteen years old, and she originally came to Yongzhou with her father and mother. Stayed in the box next door.

He thought to himself: If the assassin of Yongzhou is really killed, won't Yongzhou be in chaos?

What to do? No, I'm going to tell Lord Xiao Yan.

So, Ding Lingguang tiptoed out of the inn.

She then galloped to the Thorn Mansion.

The doorman asked, "Little girl, what are your grievances?" ”

"I have something important to see Lord Thorn Shi." Ding Lingguang said anxiously.

"What's the big deal?" The doorman asked.

"It's inconvenient to say." Ding Lingguang said with a smile.

The doorman thought to himself: It can't be the old man's old face, right? Madame has always been domineering. The old man is not allowed to take a concubine, it must be the person who the old man has just come to Yongzhou and found in Hualiu Lane!

"Okay. The lord is inside. The doorman gave way.

The little girl Ding Lingguang walked into the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion.

Xiao Yan was reviewing the official documents, and after looking up and seeing Ding Lingguang, he said, "Do you have any grievances, tell me quickly?" ”

"Lord Xiao, the folk girl heard in the inn: someone is going to assassinate you!" Ding Lingguang cried.

"Who's going to assassinate me?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Sima Wanjin, the richest man in Yongzhou, wants to send the assassin Lu Ping to assassinate you." Ding Lingguang said impatiently.

"You have a merit! Where are you from? Xiao Yan asked.

"I'm from the country. That is, Cao Cao's hometown. Ding Lingguang said with a smile.

"You are Ding Lingguang, the daughter of Xuancheng Taishou, right?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"How did Lord Thorn Shi know?" Ding Lingguang asked.

"I've seen your father, and he looks a little like you." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

At this time, Xiao Yan's wife Xi Hui returned.

She saw Xiao Yan and Ding Lingguang talking and laughing, and scolded: "Where did the fox spirit come from? How dare you charm my husband? ”

Ding Lingguang explained: "No, I don't know your husband. ”

"If you don't know each other, you still have a problem!" Xi Hui scolded.

"Ma'am. I don't really know her. They came to tell me that someone was going to assassinate me recently. Xiao Yan explained.

"I don't know you. Why do you want to tell you? It's a complete contradiction. Xi Hui scolded.

Then, Xi Hui picked up the stick and shouted, "Today, I must kill you vixen." ”

Xiao Yan stepped forward to block her and shouted, "Madam, don't you do this!" ”
