Chapter 272: The Broken Peace Lock
Chapter 272: The Broken Peace Lock
The two little kids were squeezed into the corner, trembling with fear, while Pei Yi stood in front of them. When a fish that had escaped the net rushed to them, he would quickly swing the dagger in his hand and kill it.
At this moment, the men in black and the masked men were already in a deadlock, and the number of corpses lying on the ground continued to increase in the night. The blood gathered together and slowly flowed to the feet of the two little kids, soaking the soles of their shoes.
Wang Gungun wiped the blood off his face and squeezed Xiao Yining to the innermost part, complaining, "Didn't you throw the safety lock away? This King Yu clearly wants to put us all to death."
"Just now King Yu tried to win over Brother Shunzi, but Brother Shunzi refused. It has nothing to do with the Ping'an lock." Pei Yi killed another person and turned back to explain. He looked at the frightened little kid holding the dagger, and a look of heartache flashed in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Qing. Someone is coming. We will be fine."
"Sister Qing, don't be afraid." Xiao Yining replied firmly.
She looked at the blood-stained clothes in the night and could no longer recognize their original appearance.
Xiao Shunzi was carefully trained by Pei Dafu to serve the successor of the next emperor, and he possessed excellent abilities in all aspects.
But such a person does not even appear in the book.
She raised her eyes and looked at the guarding figure of her fellow villager again. In the book, the fellow villager was probably chosen by Pei Dafu only after Xiao Shunzi passed away.
If you can't get it, you'll destroy it. This is the usual behavior of the crazy male protagonist.
The fighting on the street had been going on for a long time. Just as Wang Gungun said, King Yu was obviously here to kill everyone. There were only so many masked men, but the men in black were like leeks, coming one after another. Even 13, who claimed to be one of the top ten shadow guards, was injured.
If the left guard in charge of curfew had not arrived, those men in black would not have retreated so easily like the tide.
The masked man who rescued them also carried his dead brother away.
In this sudden and fatal battle, only the two little kids were well protected and did not suffer any harm.
"Commander Xu could have come a little later so that you could collect the body of this eunuch." Xiao Shunzi wiped the blood sword slowly, his tone cold and full of sarcasm.
"I don't know what happened, there were several disturbances tonight, so I didn't pay attention to this place." Commander Xu replied awkwardly.
Although eunuchs are not popular, they are also appointed officials of the court. Now he was assassinated in the street. If he didn't handle it well, Zuo Shiwei would be punished.
Commander Xu looked at the nearly one hundred corpses on the ground, then glanced at the calm Xiao Shunzi, and was even more shocked.
"May I ask, Master Xiao Shunzi, have you offended anyone recently?" Commander Xu asked again.
Xiao Shunzi's expression did not change. He glanced at him calmly and smiled softly, "I serve the emperor and the second prince in the palace every day. How do I know who I have offended? Commander Xu, I still want you to solve my doubts. It's getting late now. I have to go back to the palace and take turns with my godfather. Goodbye."
Commander Xu: ..., he went to complain to the evil eunuch Pei Dafu!
He watched the man walk up to the other three victims and take them away openly, and he didn't even dare to stop him.
At this time, an ignorant subordinate stepped forward and reminded, "Commander, they just left like this, isn't this against the rules?"
Commander Xu was so angry that he kicked him to the ground and said, "Go and get Jingzhao Yin to investigate the case. I won't take the blame for him."
……
After the chaos, Xiao Shunzi did not return to the palace, but sent the three little ones back to the Lin family first.
Along the way, the atmosphere was particularly solemn.
However, Xiao Yining's tense emotions finally relaxed. She sobbed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief in one hand, while with the other hand she tightly grasped the broken piece of the peace lock she had just picked up.
She was really scared, so many people died in front of her.
Xiao Shunzi glanced at her indifferently, and then said to Pei Yi, "I am afraid of death, so I will stay in the palace for the next few days. Be careful and don't let Prince Yu trick you away."
Pei Yi nodded absentmindedly, indicating that he understood.
His eyes were always on Xiao Yining, and they were full of guilt.
If he had known so much would happen, he would not have taken her out.
At this moment, Xiao Yining, who heard the words, raised her head abruptly, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and said, "Uncle, the Nalan siblings like to share a husband, you must be careful."
Pei Yi: ...
Xiao Shunzi: This little girl knows so much.
Pei Yi sighed tiredly and reminded her again, "Sister Qing, you can't say these things outside."
However, Wang Gungun at the side started asking again, "How did Master Nalan get his butt hurt? Did it bruise?"
"He didn't bloom, but his butt was stuck in the bucket and he couldn't get out. I saw it with my own eyes." Xiao Yining replied truthfully, finally satisfying his curiosity.
Pei Yi: ...
Xiao Shunzi looked at the two kids in silence, then looked at his younger brother with pity and said again, "You are so young and you have to take care of two children. It must be very hard, right?"
Pei Yi gritted his teeth and replied, "It's not bitter." Then, regardless of his own injuries, he pulled Xiao Yining to his side with a dark face and scolded, "Sister Qing, how can you see everything?"
Xiao Yining suddenly felt wronged. "Qing Jie'er didn't want to see it, but Daddy was not here at the time."
As soon as she finished speaking, a sound of "Pia" was heard in the carriage. She was finally beaten by her fellow villagers, and even Wang Gungun did not escape the beating.
Silent night,
The crying duet of the little baby,
It didn't stop until it reached the gate of Lin's house.
Little Yining lay dejectedly on his fellow villager's shoulder, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, like a little drowned man.
Xiao Shunzi lifted the carriage curtain and looked at his adopted brother, who was carrying two children. He said a rare consolation, "Your two children combined are not as naughty as the second prince."
He glanced at the boy hugging Pei Yi's thigh on the ground, then looked at the girl on his shoulder, and said with certainty, "Miss Lin, you dropped the safety lock on purpose!"
Xiao Yining's body stiffened, but he pretended not to hear and continued sobbing.
"He is so smart, worthy of being the great nephew of His Majesty." Xiao Shunzi lowered the curtain, whispered, and left in the carriage.
Little Yining opened her big eyes filled with tears, glanced at the carriage that was moving further and further away, her eyes moving slightly.
Just now, she took advantage of the chaos to take down the safety lock and threw it on the ground. Although she felt sad, if it could save her life, what was the use of a piece of jade? Even the blueprint drawn by her father could not reveal its origin.
At this time, the door of the Lin family opened and Wan Niang's scream was heard.
The three little ones went out happily, but came back in such a tragic way that it completely alarmed the Wang, Lin, and Chen families.
Prince Yu's Mansion
The subordinate in black robes stepped forward respectfully and placed a jade fragment on the master's desk.
Sheng Jingzhan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was deep and sharp. He stretched out his slender fingers and casually brushed across the texture on it. He pursed his lips and said unhappily, "It's really useless. It can't kill anyone, and it destroys things."
