Chapter 384 Fortunately, she made the right bet
Three days later, at the Guanyong Earl’s Mansion.
In Wu Zhiheng's yard, a maid started sweeping the floor early in the morning.
She comes to clean the yard at this time every day.
Then he heard two guards whispering that they were going to go to Zhuangzi to silence the general's wife.
The master said that he felt it was still a little unsafe to keep the lady.
I was afraid that my wife would go out and talk nonsense, and what happened before was too embarrassing, so I decided not to leave any hidden dangers.
The two of them only said a few words and then left, apparently to prepare.
The maid who overheard changed her expression.
He was so anxious that he dropped his broom and ran away.
He ran to the gatehouse and told a servant about it.
The servant did not delay. He pretended to be sick and asked for leave from the steward, then rode directly to the farm.
These two people were left behind by Wen Xianglian, and the indentures were also in her hands.
He also ordered them to keep an eye on Wu Zhiheng and inquire about the news in the mansion.
If there is any movement, report it to her immediately.
If we go too late at this critical moment, my lady’s life will be in danger.
Not only did their indentures remain in the hands of their lady, but their family members also followed them to the farm.
If the lady is killed, their families will also suffer.
That's why he rushed to report the news at the greatest possible speed.
The servant rode away on horseback, and Lu Shao's men also received the news.
So he went to the farm where Wen Xianglian lived.
When he was near Zhuangzi, he went to the woods to change into night clothes and covered his face.
But a corner of the token was deliberately exposed at the waist.
This is the token used by the secret guards of Guan Yongbo's mansion. Wen Xianglian will definitely recognize it.
They were actually following the servant.
Now lie in ambush outside and wait for the servant to report to Wen Xianglian.
Before that, he had deliberately let Young Master Jiao's secret guards discover their whereabouts.
In Zhuangzi.
Wen Xianglian was sitting in the yard thinking about how to return to Beijing.
She couldn't stand the life in this village after only living there for a few days.
Accustomed to a life of wealth, fine clothes and delicious food, and living in a comfortable and luxurious courtyard.
She can no longer adapt to this kind of life.
Even when she was young, the conditions in the Wen family or the Qiao family were not as good as here.
Suddenly, a servant rushed in.
Then he looked at her anxiously, "Madam, the uncle has sent someone to kill you."
"Hong Tao found out about it in the uncle's yard this morning."
This made Wen Xianglian's face change drastically, "What? When will they come?"
The servant replied, "When Hongtao heard it, they said they were coming soon."
"So it should be soon."
The close associates who were serving him were also shocked when they heard this.
They all looked at Wen Xianglian and asked, "Madam, what should we do?"
Wen Xianglian was frightened at first and a little panicked.
She stood up and ordered, "Let's go, let's go quickly and hide in the mountains."
"Pack up some dry food and leave immediately. Don't worry about the rest for now."
Although she also wanted to pack some valuables, she was afraid it would be too late, and her life was more important.
Wait until the crisis is over and then send someone back to get it.
If you can't get through, there's no point in taking it.
Soon, Wen Xianglian changed into clothes and shoes suitable for running.
Then he brought the maids and servants, as well as the people who were guarding the farm.
He left the farm in a carriage and prepared to escape to the mountains.
I saw Wen Xianglian and her group’s carriage heading towards the mountain.
It happened to be the direction where Young Master Jiao and the others were.
So Lu Shao's men did not rush to chase, but waited for a while before riding on horseback to catch up.
Soon, the driver of the carriage discovered it.
He shouted anxiously, "Madam, they are chasing us."
Wen Xianglian, who was sitting in the carriage, also said anxiously: "Hurry, speed up and get to the foot of the mountain as soon as possible."
When we reach the foot of the mountain, let the slaves run away in different directions to distract those people's attention.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, the people behind us caught up with us.
One of them drew his sword and deliberately shouted, "Kill, kill Wen Xianglian first, and the others last."
Then they blocked Wen Xianglian and the others.
The groom and the others also had swords, which they picked up and swung at the "killers".
Wen Xianglian was also forced to get out of the carriage.
Then he was met with a sword.
If the servant who had just jumped onto the carriage had not pulled her back, her arm would have been stabbed.
Then the servant took the sword and swung it at the guards.
He looked determined to do whatever it took, "Madam, please take it away quickly."
Then he jumped off the carriage, rushed forward, and tripped a killer.
There were only two assassins who came, and they obviously thought that they didn't need a lot of people to kill Wen Xianglian.
Otherwise it will attract other people's attention.
The servant grabbed one of them and was then stabbed in the heart by a sword.
He screamed and fell to the ground, holding his chest.
Wen Xianglian just turned her head and took a look, her eyes full of horror and fear.
Then he turned around, supported the maid, and ran desperately towards the mountain.
Wen Xianglian's only focus at this moment was on escaping.
It wasn't on the servant at all, and he happened to be carrying her on his back after he fell to the ground.
So he didn't notice that the servant wasn't bleeding at all, and he even winked at the killer.
He was the person Lu Shao arranged to stay in Zhuangzi, and Wen Xianglian was not familiar with him.
This is also done to increase the killer's determination to kill Wen Xianglian.
Besides him, there were two others.
Once the matter is over, he will offer to "bury" him, so that no one will find out that he faked his death.
Then the two killers chased after Wen Xianglian.
As soon as I caught up with her, I glanced at a tree nearby.
When he found that there was indeed someone in the tree, he stabbed her in the chest.
Wen Xianglian was completely stunned, thinking that it was all over.
She didn't want to die, not at all.
But there is no escape from death today.
When the opponent thrust his sword at her, she saw half of the token being torn out from his collar.
She recognized that this was the token worn by Wu Zhiheng's secret guard.
Therefore, she completely believed that it was Wu Zhiheng who sent people to silence her today.
I understand. That bastard was just lying to her and trying to coax her.
In fact, I'm afraid that when he was preparing to divorce her, he already had the intention to kill her.
After all, she knew a lot about him.
It would be very disadvantageous to him if she said those things to his enemies.
And if her past identity were to be uncovered, he would be embarrassed again.
When the servant came to tell her the news, she still had some hope in her heart.
Thinking that we have been in love for so many years, he shouldn't be so cruel to me.
But she still underestimated his cold-heartedness.
That's right, he just threw his daughter into the river and tried to drown her.
Even children of a few years old are not spared.
He didn't have much affection for his own children.
Especially the son, he is very defensive and always wants to suppress and step on the other party.
Wu Zhiheng is a man who only cares about interests but has no heart or emotions.
At the moment of her death, she felt a hatred for Wu Zhiheng that she had never felt before.
She also swore that if she could survive, she would never let him go.
Just when the sword was only an inch away from piercing Wen Xianglian, she thought she was dead.
Suddenly a sword stretched out from the side and knocked away the killer's sword.
The man was wearing a guard's uniform and had just jumped down from the tree nearby.
Then, the voice of Young Master Jiao was heard not far away, "How dare you kill someone in broad daylight? You are so brave."
As soon as he finished speaking, several more guards came out from the woods.
There were more than a dozen people who came over, protecting Young Master Jiao and a few playboys.
The two killers were stunned when they saw this and pretended to be surprised.
One of them said, "The assassination failed. Let's go back and report to the master first."
Then the two of them fought desperately and broke out of the encirclement of the guards.
I was slightly injured.
Wen Xianglian was still in shock and she couldn't help but breathe heavily with a mixture of relief and fear.
She's not dead?
Then he saw Young Master Jiao, whom he had disliked so much before, looking at him with a worried look on his face and walking towards him.
She cursed in her heart, thinking that this pervert had indeed been eyeing her for a long time.
While feeling proud of his own charm.
At the same time, she was glad that he was hunting here and happened to meet her and save her.
Yes, Wen Xianglian had heard from the servant on the farm yesterday that some young masters from the neighboring farm had come to hunt.
She asked someone to investigate and found out that it was Young Master Jiao.
She didn't dare go out, for fear of being pestered by the other party and saying something bad to Wu Zhiheng's ears.
Her first thought was to escape to the mountains, also with the idea of trying her luck.
Except it's easier to hide in the mountains.
Also, because they knew they were hunting in the mountains, if they encountered the killer, they would probably help.
Fortunately, her bet was right.
