BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191 Assassination
Lei Tia released him, "It\'s time to go out."
Qin Mian slowly let go of his arms. Although the two of them would meet up in space from time to time, it was already extravagant to kiss, let alone do anything they liked.
Lei Tia understood the churning emotions in his eyes, and covered them with a hot kiss, saying in a hoarse voice: "Wifey, wait for my return."
He was afraid that if he did not leave soon, he would be overpowered.
Qin Mian stared blankly, but that person had already disappeared. Helplessly curling his lips, he took care of all the remaining ingredients and left the space.
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, Zhangsun Hong\'s birthday arrived.
After eating breakfast, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin changed into a new set of clothes and got the errand boy and Fei Yue to arrange their gifts for Zhangsun Hong.
The four guards divided into two rows at the front and back to protect the carriage.
Qin Mian mounted his horse and personally escorted his two sons to Marquis Wei Yuan Palace.
Although it was a su
y day, the sun seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze. It was hazy and not hot at all. The cold wind was biting cold. The pedestrians were so stiff that their faces turned red from the wind. They kept their heads down as they hurried on their way. Three days ago, there was a second snowfall in the winter. Although only one day had passed, it still accumulated a thick layer of snow. The snow on the ground had been swept clean, but the road seemed to have frozen harder, and the clatter of hooves could be heard.
Not long after leaving the National Duke\'s Mansion, Qin Mian sensed several gazes that carried ill intentions shooting towards him from the shadows. A cold smile flashed past his eyes.
"Father." Qin Ruiqi stuck his head out of the window, meaning.
Qin Mian smiled, "Don\'t worry."
Qin Ruiqi retracted his head.
"I can finally show off my skills." Lei Ruilin rubbed his fists together.
Qin Ruiqi said: "Do not be too excessive."
"Don\'t worry, brother." Lei Ruilin raised his head, "I\'m not even a three year old child."
Qin Ruiqi, "..."
After traveling for about half an hour, they arrived at the Marquis Wei Yuan Manor. The Palace\'s butler welcomed the guests at the door. The guests were mostly children who were on good terms with Zhangsun Hong, and thus, they took advantage of the holiday to get together. After all, it was the birthday of a child, and adults often sent their children away after a few words of greeting.
When the two eight or nine-year-old kids saw National Duke\'s Mansion\'s carriage, they all came over to welcome them.
"Ruiqi and Ruilin have arrived."
After the horse carriage stopped, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin jumped down from the left and right doors.
The butler ran over and greeted them, "Greetings to National Duke Madam, Young Gongzi Qin and Young Gongzi Lei."
"No need for formalities." Qin Mian laughed, "I still have some matters to attend to, thank you for taking care of my son."
The butler quickly replied, "Please rest assured Madam National Duke."
"Ruiqi, Ruilin, you are not allowed to mess around as a guest at a friend\'s home." Qin Mian instructed his two sons.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin said in unison, "I ask father to be at ease."
"Daddy will come pick you up in the afternoon." Qin Mian spurred his horse and left.
"Young masters, please come in."
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin nodded, and followed the butler into the house.
There were already seven to eight small guests in the main hall. As the small master, Zhangsun Hong was currently speaking with them. Marquis Wei Yuan, Zhangsun Hee and Chen Mufeng sat at the side, smiling as they chatted.
The Maidservant s went in and out, placing tea, fruits, and snacks on the table.
Seeing Qin Ruiqi\'s four guests enter, Zhangsun Hong hurriedly went forward to welcome them.
"Ruiqi, Ruilin, Shifang, Yuexi, you are here."
"Brother Zhangsun, happy birthday! Elder brother and I wish you today, your year, and your age. " Lei Ruilin cupped his fists at Zhangsun Hong.
The scarecrow\'s words made Marquis Wei Yuan, Zhangsun Hee and Chen Mufeng all laugh.
"Are those two young masters from National Duke?" Marquis Wei Yuan was already over 60 years old and his body was slightly fat. Even though his hair was white, his face was rosy and his eyes were lively.
Zhangsun Hee\'s words were filled with praise, "That\'s right. The two youngsters are only six years old, but can already tell that they aren\'t people who can be taken in by the pool, and that they have the temperament of fathers when they live in this world. "
Marquis Wei Yuan smiled and did not say a word. He looked at his own grandson and felt that his grandson was not bad either.
Zhangsun Hong brought Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin to Marquis Wei Yuan and introduced them to his grandfather.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin bowed and cupped their hands together. "Ruiqi greets the Marquis Wei Yuan, Duke Mu, and the Little Marquis Lord."
"Quickly, dispense with the formalities." Marquis Wei Yuan smiled kindly and said.
"Thank you, Marquis Wei Yuan."
Zhangsun Hong said: "Grandfather, I\'ll take them to play."
The Marquis Wei Yuan nodded, "Go and entertain your friends."
"Yes."
The Marquis Wei Yuan warned Zhangsun Hee and Chen Mufeng in a low voice, "Now that the situation is complicated, we have to take care of the two children of the National Duke family, by all means, do not let anything happen to them in our residence."
Zhangsun Hee replied: "Father, don\'t worry. The mansion has already made meticulous arrangements."
"That\'s good." Marquis Wei Yuan said.
They were worried that adults would leave after the children were let go and the Marquis Wei Yuan, Zhangsun Hee and Chen Mufeng could let the guests enjoy themselves.
Zhangsun Hong pulled Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin in front of the other guests.
"Ruiqi, Ruilin, let me introduce you. This is the First Prince\'s Mansion\'s Second Young Master, Chen Bonan. This is the Eldest son of the Second Prince Mansion, Chen Peiwen.
Out of the ten or so guests present, only two were sons of commoners, the rest were nobles.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin returned the greeting with their hands cupped in front.
After all, they were both young children. They soon got to know each other, played together, ate, drank, laughed, and chatted. It was very lively.
After a short while, another eight Maidservant s entered in a line and presented purple colored snacks.
Zhangsun Hong offered a treasure: "Taste my Six Flavors Purple Cloud Cake, it is the personal skill of one of my chef."
"Why is it called \'Six Flavors Purple Cloud Cake\'?" Chen Peiwen asked curiously.
Zhangsun Hong said: "Because this kind of cake can only taste one flavor at a time, but there are six different flavors on the first grade, causing one to have an endless amount of aftertaste."
"Oh? I\'d like to try it. " Yang Jin first waited for Maidservant to put down the plate and then impatiently reached out his hand.
Qin Ruiqi\'s eyes flashed, with a sudden wave of his hand, the plate in Yang Jin\'s hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"What are you doing?" Mr. Yang Jin grabbed him by the lapel in anger.
Zhangsun Hong stared blankly for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Please don\'t be angry yet, there must be some kind of misunderstanding."
Lei Ruilin struck Yang Jin\'s hand away, "My brother saved your life, you should feel lucky!"
Qin Ruiqi said indifferently: "There\'s poison in the pastries."
Everyone was shocked.
"What?"
Zhangsun Hong was so shocked that he couldn\'t even speak, as he looked at the dessert on the ground in bewilderment.
Zhangsun Hee\'s and Chen Mufeng\'s guards outside quickly reported the situation to Zhangsun Hee and hurried over.
"What\'s going on?"
Lei Ruilin raised his voice, "There\'s poison in my heart."
Chen Mufeng squatted in front of Qin Ruiqi and his sister, and asked calmly: "Ruilin, how did you know?"
Lei Ruilin raised his wrist and pulled at Qin Ruiqi\'s wrist, "This is the bracelet Father gave us, if there\'s any poisonous substance near it, it will turn black."
Chen Mufeng had seen these bangles before, they were milky white in his memories, but now that he looked at them closely, they had turned light black.
Zhangsun Hee took out a silver needle and inserted it into the cake on the ground. As expected, the silver needle quickly turned black. His expression changed.
The Maidservant were so scared that they kneeled on the ground.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin looked at each other, and in the bottom of their hearts, they understood that the majority of the people who poisoned the two were targeting their brothers.
Yang Jin fell to the ground.
After all, they were all children. No one knew who cried out first, but very soon, all the guests began to howl and cry.
"Mufeng, take care of them."
Zhangsun Hee flew out in a flash.
Chen Mufeng quickly comforted the little guests as he furrowed his brows. The status of the guests today were all extraordinary. No matter which one of them was in trouble, it would not be a small matter.
When the Marquis Wei Yuan heard the news and came over, he saw that the little guests were crying all over, even his own eldest grandson had also turned pale white. Only Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin sat on the chairs quietly, and his eyes filled with praise.
Zhangsun Hee quickly returned and whispered into the ears of the Marquis Wei Yuan, "A chef from the kitchen has disappeared, it\'s most likely a disguise technique."
Marquis Wei Yuan nodded, and instructed the Maidservant to bring the other small guests back to comfort the guests, leaving behind Zhangsun Hong, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin.
"Young Master Qin, I heard that you discovered the poison in the pastries first?" The Marquis Wei Yuan asked Qin Ruiqi gently.
Qin Ruiqi nodded.
Marquis Wei Yuan looked at his wrist. Maybe because the child was too calm, he could not help but treat the child as an adult and tried testing him out, "This is the first time I\'ve heard that there is actually such a strange thing that can sense poisons without touching poisons." To put it bluntly, not even the Emperor had such a treasure.
Qin Ruiqi said indifferently," Father said that all poisons have a smell. However, there are some that a human\'s sense of smell ca
ot detect. This bracelet contains a special material that is sensitive to poisons. It\'s like the sound of a dog\'s flute. People can\'t hear it, but dogs can.
"So that\'s how it is." Marquis Wei Yuan laughed.
Chen Mufeng secretly frowned, now was not the time to look into the Bracelet.
Marquis Wei Yuan praised: "Aren\'t the two brats afraid at all?"
Lei Ruilin said proudly: "Why should I be afraid? Dad said that no matter who bullies Big Brother and me, he and Dad will take revenge for us. "
Marquis Wei Yuan laughed dryly.
Zhangsun Hee had already used a silver needle to finish testing all the pastries, "All of them are poisonous."
"In other words, it is not directed at Young Master Yang. Could it be that it is targeting our Marquis Wei Yuan Palace? " Marquis Wei Yuan frowned.
Qin Ruiqi pulled his brother and stood up, "Master Hou, it\'s time for Ruiqi and Ruilin to leave."
Zhangsun Hee said: "Father, I will send them back."
Marquis Wei Yuan nodded, for today\'s matter, the Marquis Wei Yuan Palace should apologize and express their gratitude.
Chen Mufeng followed along.
Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin got on National Duke\'s Mansion\'s carriage, and not long after the carriage departed, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin once again noticed the several lines of sight in the darkness.
From Marquis Wei Yuan Palace to National Duke\'s Mansion, one had to pass through an old alley. This was because a few years ago, the capital city had been expanded and many residents of this old alley had moved away.
When the carriage reached to the center of the old alley, a sense of danger suddenly rose in Zhangsun Hee\'s heart, and he shouted, "Not good! Mufeng! "
Almost at the same time the voice fell, from the two sides of the roof, over twenty white robed people with white scarves wrapped around their heads rushed over, holding swords and sabers in their hands. It was because they were all dressed in white that Zhangsun Hee was the first to notice their murderous intent when they were hiding perfectly behind the snow on the roof.
"Protect the two children!" Chen Mufeng threw down his words to the four guards of National Duke\'s Mansion, unsheathed his sword and flew to fight.
Then, because Zhangsun Hee and Chen Mufeng were on guard against the Emperor Xiao Hui, their skills were mediocre. He was forced further and further away from the carriage by the four men in black.
