The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

  Chapter 272 Out of the Palace

  At this time, the sky is dark, and here is the wilderness again, and there is no one around.

  Dong Mingchun carried the lantern and walked quickly into the Octagonal Pavilion.

  With the dim light of the lantern, he found an arrow mark on the pillar of the pavilion.

  He hesitated, but decided to go forward in the direction of the arrow.

  In front of it is a small forest.

  The forest is dark, and I can't see everything clearly, and occasionally I can hear the sound of small animals running by.

  Dong Mingchun walked forward cautiously, too frightened, and the hand holding the lantern was trembling.

   At this moment, a man in black suddenly fell from the sky, with a knife in his hand slashing towards Dong Mingchun!

  Dong Mingchun learned the art of riding and shooting when he was young, but he has forgotten the art of riding and shooting for so many years, and he has forgotten about the art of riding and shooting.

  He can feel the cold wind falling above his head, and intuitively tells him that he is dangerous and must be avoided, but his body's reaction speed cannot keep up with his brain.

  He just stood in place so straightforwardly.

   Seeing that the blade was about to fall on his head, another sword light suddenly shot out, blocking the fatal blow of the man in black.

  The weapons collided in mid-air, making a crisp sound.

  Zhao Xian arrived in time with five Yulin Guards and guarded Dong Mingchun's side.

  After landing, the man in black quickly backed away and blew the whistle at the same time.

  The whistle drew three more men in black.

  The two sides started a desperate struggle.

  Zhao Xian is agile and strong in martial arts, but the four men in black are not vegetarians. They are extremely fierce and don't even care about their own life or death. They only want to kill each other, and every move is vicious and decisive.

  Dong Mingchun looked at the swords and swords that kept flashing in front of him, his face pale in fright.

  He hurriedly backed away, trying to leave this dangerous place.

  Zhao Xian focused on dealing with the people in black, but didn't notice that Dong Mingchun was getting further and further away from him. When he heard Dong Mingchun's screams, he found that Dong Mingchun's arm was stabbed, and blood kept flowing out.

  The lantern in Dong Mingchun's hand fell to the ground and immediately burned.

  He clutched the wound on his arm, screaming with pain.

  The master moves, and the victory or defeat is often in an instant.

  Zhao Xian was attracted by Dong Mingchun’s shout, and was caught by a man in black.

  Just as he was about to hit the knife, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.

   Then the knife of the man in black was bounced away by an invisible force.

  This incident stunned the man in black.

  He has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and countless souls have died under his sword, but he has never seen such a weird thing.

  Zhao Xian reacted quickly, he grabbed the gap of the opponent's stunned mind, and pierced the opponent's throat with a sword.

  The man in black fell straight in a pool of blood like this, before he even closed his eyes, the expression of astonishment on his face solidified forever.

  Zhao Xian rushed to Dong Mingchun at the fastest speed, protected Dong Mingchun behind him, and continued to fight with other people in black.

  Four men in black were killed two one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining two immediately resisted the corpses of their companions and retreated.

  Zhao Xian's six people all hung up and their movements were restricted. In addition, Dong Mingchun fainted due to excessive blood loss, Zhao Xian decisively chose to abandon the pursuit.

  They escorted Dong Mingchun back to Shengjing.

  It was not until the next morning that Luo Qinghan knew the news of Dong Mingchun's assassination.

  Zhao Xian truthfully told the story in detail.

  Luo Qinghan asked: "Can you see the origin of the four men in black?"

  This question, Zhao Xian had been thinking about it all night last night, and he answered without hesitation at this time.

"Judging from their simple and neat style of acting, they look like professional killers, especially the two who escaped. The martial arts are very powerful. If they are really killers, they must be masters of the killer. How many will there be in the world at the end? A friend, I will ask them at the end to see if I can find a clue."

  Luo Qinghan nodded: "I will leave this to you."

   "Here."

  Luo Qinghan then asked again: "How is Dong Mingchun now?"

  Zhao Xian: "Dong Shangshu suffered a knife wound on his right arm. The wound was a bit deep and bleeding a lot. He is recuperating at home."

   Luo Qinghan said: "You worked hard last night. Go back and recover."

   "Finally, I will obey."

  He turned around and limped out of Mingguang Palace.

  Fighting with the killers last night, he was accidentally slashed on his right leg. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and did not hurt his muscles and bones. He should be healed after a few days of recuperation.

  In fact, he really wanted to ask about the amulet.

  Last night, he was almost killed by a man in black. At the critical moment, the knife was bounced off by an invisible force. Afterwards, he checked the injuries on his body and found that the amulet originally placed on his chest had turned black.

  Zhao Xian guessed that the reason why he escaped the accident by chance was probably related to this amulet.

  He wants to know how this amulet came from? Why can it have such a magical effect?

  It is reasonable to tell him that there are some things that he can't deal with.

   So he wisely chose to shut up and didn't mention the amulet.

  At noon, Luo Qinghan went to Qingge Hall.

  He and Xiao Xixi have lunch together.

  Xiao Xixi nibbled the duck neck with relish. The duck neck was boiled in brine for a long time. It was very tasty and delicious.

  Luo Qinghan looked at her blankly.

  How gluttonous this woman is, she would not let go of the little meat on the duck's neck.

  Xiao Xixi saw that he kept looking at him, thinking that he wanted to eat too, so he pushed the plate with the duck neck in front of him and said enthusiastically.

  "Your Royal Highness will try too? This duck neck is delicious."

  Luo Qinghan refused.

  He doesn’t want to eat this kind of pickled food!

After eating and drinking enough, Xiao Xixi was about to take a nap as usual, but was stopped by Luo Qinghan.

   "You change your clothes and do something with the lonely palace."

  Xiao Xixi was surprised: "What do you do when you leave the palace?"

  "Dong Mingchun was assassinated and injured last night. I just want to see him. By the way, I can find out the specific situation. Maybe it can be useful to you."

  Xiao Xixi is still very dedicated in business matters.

  She reluctantly gave up her lunch break plan and nodded in agreement.

  She put on a light lotus-colored narrow-sleeved skirt, followed the prince out of the palace, accompanied by two eunuchs and a dozen Yulin guards.

  A group of people arrived at Dong's house smoothly.

  Learning that the Crown Prince was visiting, Dong Mingchun got up from the bed with his injured arm and took his sons out to pick him up.

  The Dong family knelt down at the door.

  Dong Mingchun knelt at the forefront and said respectfully: "I don’t know if your Royal Highness will be here, and if you have missed it, I hope that your Highness will forgive you."

  Luo Qinghan said lightly: “Don’t be polite, get up and talk.”

  Dong Mingchun stood up with the support of his two sons.

  Due to the injury, Dong Mingchun's face was particularly pale. He took a step back, turned his body sideways, and let the prince go first.
