Chapter 676
Chu Jingqi frowned, took off his cloak and put it on her body, "Then wear more."
"What about you? I don't want it." Xia Zihan held down his tying hand, "It's so cold outside. If you go out wearing such little clothes, you will definitely catch the cold."
He felt sorry for her, but she also felt sorry for him.
If he gets sick, she will definitely feel heartbroken.
"My body is stronger than yours." Chu Jingqi glared at her with a cold face, "If you don't want to, don't go down, just stay in the car."
"No, I'll just listen to you." Xia Zihan curled her lips and let go of her hand aggrievedly.
Chu Jingqi helped her fasten her cloak and wrapped a clean towel around her head. Just as Xia Zihan was about to hide, Chu Jingqi snorted twice and her face became elongated. Xia Zihan pouted her lips and said, "Follow you, Domineering.”
"I'm worried about you, silly girl." Two fingers flicked her forehead affectionately, "Your body bones have become much weaker since the last injury. I'm worried about you getting sick after catching the cold. When the time comes, The medicinal soup tastes bitter, so don’t tell me that it tastes bad.”
"I don't know how to cry." Xia Zihan stamped her feet in shame and annoyance, blushing as if she had been soaked in a pot of boiling water.
Chu Jingqi wrapped herself in her cloak, opened the door curtain, hugged her, and jumped out of the carriage.
More than thirty escorts were injured, but fortunately there were no casualties. The injured ones had been sent to the ruined temple to have their wounds bandaged and healed. Li Sangwu, the third child, and Zheng Wenting, who had just come down, were squatting on the ground. , turning over the corpses one after another, trying to find any clues from the corpses.
When several people saw Chu Jingqi and his wife coming down, Li Sangwu was the first to stand up, clasped his hands in his fists, bowed slightly, and said with a grateful face, "I would like to thank the prince for saving my life."
"You're welcome, I'm just protecting my wife's goods." Chu Jingqi said calmly.
Although he said that, Li Sangwu was a sensible person. The convoy was attacked today, and the attackers were all surprisingly skilled in martial arts. They were the most powerful bandits he had ever encountered since he was a bodyguard.
No, this group of people shouldn't be bandits. Bandits don't wear black clothes and masks. This group of people looks a bit like killers.
But no matter who it was, after what happened today, if Chu Jingqi's people had not appeared in time, all one hundred escorts of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau would have died at the hands of these killers.
Not only would he die, Zheng Wenting, whom they were protecting, might not be able to escape, and with these two escorts, they might not be able to save him.
If that were to happen, Zhenyuan Escort Agency would probably lose its reputation overnight, and it would be bankrupt and unable to afford the compensation.
Therefore, Zhenyuan Escort Bureau owes a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Chu.
And he guessed that the group of men in black who came and went without a trace should be the secret guards of Prince Chu and Princess Chu Yu.
Because, when they were fighting, he saw six men in black, together with a few people from Shengdi, closely guarding Crown Prince Chu's carriage. Moreover, after all the killers in black were dead, those secret guards rushed towards the Chu family's carriage. After bowing, he disappeared.
In the past, when he was traveling around as a bodyguard, he had also heard that some wealthy families or high-ranking officials would keep secret guards or dead soldiers. He had never seen them before, but today, he had seen both.
Killers, secret guards, no one left behind.
Zheng Wenting also came over, bowed and thanked Chu Jingqi, "Prince Chu, I owe you a favor for what happened today, and I will definitely repay it in the future." "Okay, I'll note it down." Chu Jingqi accepted the favor without hesitation.
This favor should not be wasted, and it would be a good thing for Zheng Wenting to owe him a favor.
He is the richest young man in Dasheng. Who knows if he will need money in the future. Well, he will definitely save this favor and use it at the most critical moment.
Chu Jingqi, Xia Zihan, and Zheng Wenting all checked the bodies of the men in black one by one, but found no clues, not even the slightest trace.
Xia Zihan frowned tightly and said, "Recently, except for the Zhang family and the Si family, we have not offended anyone, but I don't think the Zhang family and the Si family are so courageous. Dare to send someone to assassinate us.”
It would make sense to say that if their whereabouts were leaked and people in the capital found out that they were displeased with them, they would send people to kill them.
However, the time didn't match up.
It would take a month to get here from the capital, even if they traveled day and night, and it hadn't even been a month since they decided to set off.
Therefore, it will definitely not be a killer from the capital, nor a killer sent from the Zheng family, because Jiangnan is not close to here, and it will take more than twenty days.
Therefore, the people most likely to assassinate them or want to teach them a lesson are the Zhang family and the Si family.
"I'll write a letter to Qi Mei and ask her to investigate the Zhang family and the Si family." Xia Zihan said with stern eyes.
Zheng Wenting also said, "I will also send my men to investigate those people in my family." Seeing Xia Zihan look over, he lowered his eyes to cover up the sinister look in his eyes, and explained in a low voice, "Except There are a few people in the Zheng family who want me to die outside, but others don’t have the guts to bribe a killer to kill me.”
His father is from Zheng's family room, and the people from Zheng's family room continue to this day, and only his father's direct line is left, and he is his father's only son, that is, the only heir to this line. He is also the sole heir to the Zheng family's vast wealth.
When he was a child, many people in the Zheng family wished that he would die early and be reincarnated. As long as he died, no one would inherit such a large property of the Zheng family. Then, after his father died, this property would The meeting will naturally belong to the entire Zheng family.
There are many people in the entire Zheng family, hundreds of them, some of whom are relatives who have been out of the fifth service, people whose names he can't even figure out.
These people, just because they saw that the Zheng family's heirs were few, had the idea of occupying his family's property.
When he was a child, he was poisoned, drowned by an unknown person, and pushed into a river. Although it was a group of children playing together, his father used a plate of snacks to rouse him. The kid told the truth.
If you push him into the river, if he dies, his family's money will belong to that child's family.
If you let him die, the child's father will let the child become his father's son.
The child's words were unclear at the time, but his father still filtered them out.
That child's parents taught their child to kill him, and then wanted to adopt their child to his father, so that he could inherit his family's wealth. People were all driven out.
