Chapter 391 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (13)
At this time, she stood up, holding a glass of wine in her hand, and walked to the old lady to salute her. She stood in a position just blocking Madam Shangshu, and Tie Yi's eyes remained on her.
At this moment, the actor who was spinning around with a spear on the stage jumped up, raised the spear and stabbed directly at the people on the table below the stage!
After a brief moment of daze, everyone on the table became confused and everyone around them fled. In the confusion, Tie Yi had already pinched the spear in the opponent's hand, pulled it back hard, and then pulled it out from his waist. The saber cut the opponent's hand tendon with a sharp movement.
The guards guarding the surroundings also acted quickly. The people in the troupe were highly skilled in martial arts. Seeing that Jiang Lai was nearest, they were about to reach out and pull him away. As a result, Jiang Lai lowered his head and easily dodged it. As for Jiang Yu who was behind Jiang Lai, he was unlucky. Was pulled over.
The sharp blade was pressed against her neck.
"Jiang Lai!! Protect your sister!!"
Mrs. Zhao's voice was particularly sharp and prominent, and she rushed over regardless of everything.
Mrs. Hou was even knocked away by her.
All the assassins were caught, except for the one holding a knife against Jiang Yu's neck.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were filled with tears and she stood beside her tremblingly, grabbing Jiang Lai's arm to urge her.
"How could you avoid it! How could you avoid it! She is sister You, the legitimate daughter of the Hou family! Nothing can happen to her!"
Jiang Lai was expressionless.
The surrounding guests were in shock, but their faces were still full of shock and confusion when they heard this sentence.
She asked her biological daughter to exchange for the safety of her legitimate daughter. Those who didn't know it thought that the person being pressed against the neck was her biological child.
Jiang Lai shook off his sleeves.
"Mom, am I your biological child?"
Mrs. Zhao was shocked and suddenly realized that where she was now, the people standing around were all smart. She was flustered, scared and worried, and could only look at Tie Yi tremblingly.
"General, save her, and Madam Hou will be very grateful to you!"
Yes, Tie Yi is here. He likes Yu'er so much and will not let anything happen to her.
Tie Yi took the lead and strode to Jiang Lai's side. After scanning her up and down to confirm that there were no wounds on Jiang Lai's body, Tie Yi reached for her and pulled her behind him.
Looking at the assassin again, his hands were shaking crazily as the terrifying Tie Yi was staring at him.
Jiang Yu was held hostage by him. Although she was panicking, she looked at Tie Yi standing in front of her and tried to calm down.
She took a deep breath and spoke to the person behind her.
"All your accomplices have been captured, and the mission will definitely not be completed. You just want to keep yourself safe, but do you know where this is? Why don't I get you a carriage and help you escape."
"I don't want the carriage, I want your life!"
As he said that, the sharp blade slashed without hesitation!
At this moment, a miserable cry lifted everyone's hearts, and a figure pounced directly towards Jiang Lai with fearless courage and sacrifice...
When Jiang Lai saw Mrs. Zhao's eyes, he knew what she had in mind, so he stood there and watched her bump into him. When she couldn't regain her strength and threw herself over completely by inertia, she stood still. Tie Yi, who was in front of Jiang Lai, pulled Jiang Lai into his arms without hesitation.
Just like that, everyone watched as Mrs. Zhao bumped towards the assassin. The assassin's knife was deflected by her, but it still made a cut along Jiang Yu's cheek.
The assassin reacted quickly, and when he saw that Jiang Yu could no longer control him, he stabbed Mrs. Zhao in the lower abdomen.
When he wanted to raise the knife again, a dagger flew out and hit the assassin between the eyebrows. The assassin died on the spot.
This scene frightened all the surrounding guests. Tie Yi stepped forward, pulled out the dagger from the assassin's head with a cold face, and ordered the guards behind him.
"Drag him down and search him, and the other assassins will be put into the dungeon with their jaws removed."
After the turmoil ended, the birthday banquet could no longer be held. The guests left one after another, leaving only the Hou family staying in the General's Mansion temporarily.
Because both Jiang Yu and Mrs. Zhao were injured, and there were military doctors accompanying them in the general's mansion, timely bandaging could prevent subsequent accidents.
The frightened old lady covered her heart and went back to rest. Xu Ruling came back quickly after comforting the old lady. Seeing the blood marks on Jiang Yu's face, her face was full of worry.
"Doctor, you must not leave any scars."
The medic examined the injury and then downplayed it.
"If you hide in time, the wound will not be deep. Don't let the wound touch water. If you eat lightly recently, it will not leave scars."
Jiang Yu's hanging heart dropped, and Xu Ruling on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, don't worry, I will definitely find out the origin of this troupe and give an explanation to the Hou Mansion."
After saying that, she looked sideways at Jiang Lai who was standing outside the door.
Jiang Yu was really uneasy at this time. Apart from the injuries on her face, what made her more concerned was Mrs. Zhao's actions today. All the distinguished guests in the capital saw the scene just now. Mrs. Zhao's anxious and panicked look just now was so disturbing. Just put her on the fire to roast.
She is just a concubine, how can she be qualified to get ahead of Mrs. Hou?
Jiang Yu frowned, feeling very upset in her heart.
"I'll go take a look at the house over there."
Mrs. Zhao was lying next door, and Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou were there. Jiang Yu got up and wanted to go over. At this time, Xu Ruling wanted to support her, but Jiang Yu said something in a cold tone.
"Ru Ling, please go deal with the affairs in the house first."
Xu Ruling was very knowledgeable and watched Jiang Yu walk into the house and closed the door at the same time.
In the end, Mrs. Zhao was out of danger, but because the wound was too serious to move, she had to stay in the General's Mansion for two more days to recuperate.
It was getting late, and the origin of the assassin had not yet been discovered, so Tie Yi personally escorted the Marquis and Madam Hou's family away on horseback.
After arriving at the place, the Marquis took the initiative to invite Tie Yi to come in and sit, but Tie Yi refused.
"There are still many things to deal with in the house. I will come and visit my father-in-law in person when I have time."
"Okay, okay, be careful on the way back."
That night, Mrs. Hou didn't sleep much all night, her mind was filled with Mrs. Zhao's abnormal behavior.
Mrs. Zhao is usually such a shrewd person. Unless she is stupid, she would not push her own daughter up to block the knife for her daughter. But in extremely urgent situations, people will show their flaws. This made Mrs. Hou couldn't help but think of the past. .
"Master Hou, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong."
The Marquis frowned and told her not to think too much.
"Isn't it a good thing for you that she treats Yu'er as her own? She kept thinking wildly on the way back. What on earth were you thinking about?"
Mrs. Hou sat on the bed, recalling everything Mrs. Zhao had said to Jiang Yu in the past, and the doubts in her heart became more and more serious.
"Back then, she and I had children in the same temple."
The Marquis simply sat up and looked at her.
"So? What are you thinking about?" (End of Chapter)
