Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 123: Ambush at the Doorstep

As soon as these words came out, Ning Su suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Shen Nanqiao's face, which usually looked gentle and sweet, now had a solemn and murderous feeling. He was even a little afraid to look directly at it.

Ning Su cleared his throat to hide his momentary panic and whispered.

"You don't have to do it yourself. I'll take care of everything."

Shen Nanqiao gave him a strange look, as if he already knew who that person was.

"Let's find someone first and then talk about it."

Is this looking down on his ability to get things done?

With this little episode, the shock of my mother's affair was obviously lessened.

Shen Nanqiao sat on the bed and thought for a while.

"Shen Jingyi can't let the tiger go back to the mountains. Bring her back to Songchangxuan. I'll keep an eye on her myself. As for what happened to my mother back then, I want to ask Aunt Ma again."

These are all small matters, as long as she makes the arrangements, Ning Su will naturally not object.

In order to appear less useless, he added another sentence.

"If there's anything I can help you with, just ask."

These words reminded Shen Nanqiao. She hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Do you think that if someone has extraordinary qualifications, Master Xia will come forward to guarantee and recommend the new talent to the emperor?"

Ning Su thought about it for a moment and understood.

The provincial and metropolitan examinations of Da Chu were both named tests, and no one would know until the last moment.

In the past, when the Ministry of Rites was in the hands of Shen Mingde, it would not be a big deal if they secretly opened a convenient door.

But now Shen Mingde is reflecting on his mistakes, and since he is most likely not Shen Hong's biological father, it is naturally impossible for him to go down this path again.

In fact, Ning Su also had some plans regarding this cheap brother-in-law.

He once asked someone to check and found out that Shen Hong was indeed a good student. Moreover, he was said to have been studying hard behind closed doors these days after Yixianglou taught this kid a lesson last time.

There is no construction without destruction, and there is life after death. He could understand Shen Nanqiao's painstaking efforts in cutting off his brother's retreat.

Moreover, if Emperor Ming wanted to support the crown prince, he would have to train his own people.

Shen Hong was the prince's former companion and was indeed the most suitable candidate.

However, he has plans for it, so he has to ask Shen Nanqiao for his opinion.

"Are you planning to ask Master Xia for help through the backdoor?"

Shen Nanqiao didn't expect him to speak so bluntly, so he simply didn't hide anything and told her his plan in detail, and added something meaningful at the end.

"My brother is a new face. He is placed in the court. Firstly, he does not show his influence. Secondly, it is convenient for us to handle affairs."

Ning Su's heart moved.

If he didn't know that everyone around him kept their mouths shut, he would almost suspect that Shen Nanqiao knew something.

"You don't need to trouble Master with this matter. Just let the boy prepare well for the exam and then he can take the exam directly."

Shen Nanqiao vaguely guessed something and immediately felt delighted.

"what do you mean……"

Ning Su turned his gaze away cunningly.

"I didn't say anything."

But before they could talk in detail, the old lady sent someone to call them over for dinner.

After such a commotion, Shen Nanqiao was in no mood to stay for dinner at the Shen family. She asked someone to take good care of Aunt Xu, gave some instructions to Shen Hong, and then had someone escort Shen Jingyi back home.

But at this moment, an imperial edict came, saying that there was some progress in tracking down the spies from yesterday. Emperor Ming chased them all the way to the Shangshu Mansion and urgently summoned Ning Su to the palace.

The factory official, who was arrogant outside, nodded apologetically to his young wife.

"I'll ask Liuyun to take you back home. If there's nothing important going on in the next two days, try not to go out."

For some reason, Shen Nanqiao felt uneasy.

"Otherwise, should I still go to the *** Mansion today?"

Ning Su knew that she didn't want to stay overnight: "No need, Songchangxuan is guarded by people from the East Factory, nothing will go wrong."

Shen Nanqiao finally felt relieved, and Shen Hong volunteered to take his sister back home.

Ning Su sneered.

"You are a young master who can't even lift anything. Even if someone really wants to kill you, what can you do?"

Shen Hong was confident.

"Is it okay for me to be a human shield for my sister?"

Ning Su was rarely choked.

Shen Nanqiao had just experienced a not-so-small family change and was feeling mixed emotions. Right now, he found his younger brother particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Then let's go. You have never been to my house, so just go and get acquainted with the place."

Ning Su gave Liuyun detailed instructions, left a group of people behind, and left alone.

Liuyun asked someone to keep an eye on Shen Jingyi and took another carriage, then escorted Shen Nanqiao up.

The car drove through the streets and alleys, and there was nothing unusual at first. When it was about to reach the back door of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion,

The horse, which was originally galloping, suddenly neighed and stopped with great effort.

Shen Nanqiao was originally talking to Shen Hong, and suddenly leaned forward due to inertia. If Shen Hong had not blocked her with his arm, she would have been thrown out of the car.

Shen Hong was terrified, but also a little proud. He wished his brother-in-law was there!

Look, you said he was useless, but now it comes in handy, right?

Shen Nanqiao was still in shock and hadn't even caught his breath when he leaned against the carved window to look out.

This is not right! The drivers are all veterans of the factory guards, and there is no way they would make such a mistake.

"What's going on here?"

Outside, under the moonlight, I saw shadows interweaving and figures fighting each other.

There were constant sounds of fighting not far away, and she felt as if her heart was being squeezed by something, and she felt a sense of fear for no reason.

Liuyun was used to this kind of scene. He faced the enemy while retreating to the carriage.

"Don't panic, ma'am. They are just a few minions."

Before he could finish his words, a cold light came across at an angle, and a man was seen covered in blood, falling to the ground without a sound.

Before my eyes was the gleam of silver swords and sabers, and in the light of the lanterns on the side of the road, I could see the winding blood.

Soon more shadows approached the carriage she was riding in, and Shen Nanqiao realized that the situation might not be as simple as Liuyun described.

She made a prompt decision and gave instructions to Shen Hong.

"Let's get off!"

This place is only a stone's throw away from the back door of Song Chang Xuan. The factory guards lying in ambush over there should come to support us soon after hearing the noise.

Instead of sitting in the car and dragging down the guards led by Liuyun, it would be better to get out and rush back, which would increase the chances of winning.

Liuyun took time out of his busy schedule to give Shen Nanqiao an admiring look. Not all noble ladies would dare to get out of the car in such a bloody scene.

Because that was also his plan. In this situation, fighting the enemy was secondary, and the most important thing was to escort the master back home safely.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will escort you to the back door."

Shen Nanqiao was very confident in Liuyun's skills. She pulled Shen Hong's sleeve and whispered, "Follow me."

The brother and sister jogged all the way towards the light on the back door of Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Liuyun's figure was like a ghost, following closely.

However, several men in black suddenly appeared from the side and blocked Liuyun and several factory guards.

Those people seemed to be risking their lives and used killing moves that meant they would all die together. Even though Liuyun was very skilled, he was forced into a state of being unable to escape for a while.

Shen Hong had been with the prince before, so he was obviously not a fool. He hurriedly protected his sister and ran towards the gate.

But in a flash, someone came with a knife and slashed towards Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Hong had learned a few moves when he was the prince's tutor. Even though his skills were only mediocre, he was able to hold out for a few rounds.

He drew the decorative sword from his waist, stepped forward, and kept shouting.

"Sister, run!"

Shen Nanqiao hesitated for only a moment, knowing that she would be a burden if she stayed. Just as she was about to run, she saw two dark shadows suddenly rush out from the side and surround her.

In a flash, Shen Nanqiao leaned against the wall from behind and retreated step by step.

The two dark shadows didn't say much and stabbed straight at us with their knives.

Even if Shen Nanqiao had extraordinary powers at this moment, she would not be able to escape. She held the red gold hairpin in her hand, not wanting to sit and wait for death.

However, at this moment, a fire suddenly appeared in front of her, and an arrow came through the air and shot down the two knives that were stabbing at her.

With the sound of galloping horses, a group of people and horses came like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

"It's Yanyunwei!"

Shen Nanqiao was shocked. King Cheng’s Yanyun Guard?

The man in black was quickly surrounded by guards in brocade and golden armor, and the original fight became one-sided.

The tall middle-aged man in the lead was wearing armor and riding a horse. With just one move, he subdued the two men in black who were besieging her on the spot.

Shen Nanqiao was still in shock, staring in amazement at the person in front of him who seemed to have descended from the sky.

The elegant and graceful King Cheng bowed to her from his horseback, looking down at her.

"The little girl was frightened."
