Drunk House

  Chapter 41 Assassination (add more)

  Su Rong met Lan Niang's shocked gaze, and nodded sincerely. Zhou Gu is very good, he is good at first glance, and he feels good from the bottom of his heart after contact.

  She took a sip of wine and sighed, "It's just that the lintel is too high, I don't know if I can..."

  She had just finished speaking, when suddenly her face turned cold, and she threw the wine jug behind her with her hands, only to hear a "snap", and the aroma of the wine overflowed, she turned around abruptly, and at the same time took an unopened jar of wine on the table in her hand, and threw it out as well.

  The wine jar slammed and was pierced by the tip of the sword, and the shards flew into the hops. There was a black shadow holding a sword in his hand. The sword shone coldly and stabbed straight at Su Rong.

  The man took a step back, his masked eyes seemed to be shocked by something, and he withdrew quickly.

   This incident, but in an instant, Lan Niang had drawn out the sword from her waist, and before she could make a move, the man left. She put away the sword and said strangely: "Didn't this person come to kill you? Why did he leave just after meeting?"

   This is too weird! Not so back.

  Su Rong thoughtfully, looked down at the dagger in his hand, "Maybe it's because of it?"

  The dagger in Su Rong's hand is a dagger that cuts iron like mud, and the dagger is engraved with complicated patterns. From the day she got the dagger, she has checked it. There is no engraving or logo, except for this complicated pattern, which is not common.

   "Where did you get this dagger? It looks very expensive." Lan Niang was puzzled.

   "I saved a person a few days ago, and I asked that person for a reward." Seeing that Lan Niang was curious, Su Rong handed her the dagger.

   Lan Niang took the dagger, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "This pattern is very special, it must have come from someone who is good at carving. Ordinary craftsmen can't carve such a pattern."

   "Yes." Su Rong asked someone to ask for it because she looked very good, and she didn't want an ordinary dagger.

   "Didn't you ask that person's identity?"

   "I didn't ask, we met by chance. It was just a coincidence that I saved him. It's enough to ask someone for a dagger as a reward."

   "But now this dagger seems to have a lot of origins, and it can help you get rid of the people who killed you. How about I find someone to find out the origins of this dagger?" Lan Niang asked, "You can also follow the clues and find out who came to kill you this time? After all these years, the people who came to kill you are mysterious and can't be seen. They are all dead soldiers."

   "No need." Su Rong didn't want to be so troublesome, "Since my mother left, people have come to kill me every year, and I'm used to it. I know what to do, so what if I don't know. I'm as small as an ant crawling on the ground. Even if I know, I can't do anything to the person who wants to kill me."

   Lan Niang disagreed with this statement, "That was before, now we have some foundations, so we may not be able to shake the tree."

  Su Rong looked at her, "You have suffered so much since you were young, and you have finally settled down here. I still hope that your wife will live peacefully and not die for me. From our point of view, we have some foundations now, but in the eyes of those rich and powerful, it is not worth mentioning and vulnerable. Be honest!"

  Lan Niang sighed, a little depressed, "Could it be that you just endured it all the time?"

  She said earnestly: "You gave us a stable life, and we were saved from wandering, starving and freezing to death. Everyone wanted to do something for you, even if it cost you their lives, we would not hesitate."

  She paused, and then said: "When I saw you, how old were you? At that age, you supported a lot of us. Now some people marry and have children, some marry and start families, and some are as stable and prosperous as I am. Who would dream of such a good day? Even if we die for you, we should die. Without you, we would have died long ago."

  Su Rong teased, stretched out his hands to pinch Lanniang's face, "Okay, don't keep talking about this, I also can't see being displaced. When it snows, the ruined temple caves are full of dead bodies. Who told me that I am not a lady who lives in a deep boudoir at all. You can treat me as a good deed and accumulate good fortune for myself. Otherwise, I have been struggling for so many years, and I would not survive today. I would have gone to Jiuquan to ask my mother to clarify my doubts."

  Lan Niang was also amused, and cast a glance at Su Rong, her depression was swept away, "Anyway, don't take care of everything by yourself, all of us are here."

   "Understood." Su Rong smiled and withdrew her hand.

   Lan Niang sighed, "Hey, you said that your mother didn't leave you a word before she left. Does she know that people have been trying to kill you since she died?"

   "Who knows." Anyway, her mother is dead, so she can't ask.

   "I guess I know about it? Otherwise, why did she book you a marriage with the Duke of the Protector's Mansion? It must have found the Duke of the Protector's Mansion for you to rely on."

  Su Rongdao: "Zhou once consulted the old Huguogong, and the old Huguogong told him that our family is kind to him, and the marriage contract was made by the old Huguogong on his own initiative."

  She couldn't figure it out, so she knocked on the counter, "Bring me another jug ​​of wine."

   "Drink less, you smell like alcohol, even if you break the jar in front of your fiancé, you should take care not to hurt yourself." Although Lan Niang said so, she still gave Su Rong a jar of wine and handed it to her.

  Su Rong reached out to take it, opened the mouth of the jar, took a sip, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I care more about my life than anyone else."

   Lan Niang frowned, "Since you have already entered into a marriage contract with the Duke Protector, why hasn't the Duke Protector come to see you for so many years? If the Duke Protector took care of you and moved around more frequently, no one would dare to assassinate you, right?"

  "The old Lord Protector must have his own considerations." Su Rong didn't understand, "The person who wants to kill me has always been sneaky and won't make a big noise. Just like this time, there was only one person who followed here and didn't do anything until I entered the house. He never shot on the street, probably because he was afraid of being bumped into and causing trouble. It can be seen that the person who wanted to kill me also had scruples and didn't want to make a big fuss. In addition, the other party should not be afraid of the Duke Protector. After all, Zhou Gu is in Jiangning now, so the person who killed me came anyway?"

   "That's right." Lan Niang nodded, "It's not a secret that Young Master Zhou came to Jiangning. It has been spread all over Jiangning County, and everyone knows it. The person who wants to kill you should also know that Young Master Zhou is in Jiangning."

   "Well, if he really killed me today, wouldn't he be afraid of Zhou Gu's investigation? Will the Huguo Palace let it go? So, I can only say that the other party is not afraid of the Huguo Palace." Su Rong analyzed.

   Lan Niang really thinks that Su Rong's analysis is right, "It's true."
