Chapter 220: Assassins are coming
??Chapter 220 The Assassin is Coming
??Prime Minister Pei Shu didn't want to go to the White Mansion at all, but it was hard not to go because of a banquet.
??The final result was that Pei Xuanting, the second son of the Pei family, attended the birthday banquet of the Bai family on behalf of the whole family.
?? "The one who came was the Second Young Master Pei. It's fine if Pei Xiangguo doesn't come, but he didn't even come."
??A mansion, mansion or prince, that is the face of the mansion.
?? It was as if it was supposed to be a summit meeting between the two countries. As a result, the head of one side came, but the diplomatic envoys sent by the other side were not at the same level. The perfunctory meaning was obvious.
?? "Second son Pei is also the son of the first son after all, so it's not perfunctory."
?? "Hey, don't you know? There are only three sons in the Pei family, not a single concubine."
?? "No way? Don't you even have a concubine?"
?? "Neither. There are only legitimate sons in the country of Prime Minister Pei."
??This is not normal.
??As long as there are concubines in the backyard, how can there be no concubine children?
??The gossip souls of everyone are burning.
??Someone whispered: "I heard that Mrs. Pei is a tigress, and it's normal for a concubine not to conceive."
?? These days, it is not uncommon for the main house to cause the concubine to be pregnant, or for the concubine to cause the main house to conceive.
??The women in the back house fought secretly, and the men clearly said they didn't know, but in fact they turned a blind eye.
?? "Heh, Mrs. Ru of Mr. Li's family is also extremely powerful. I'm afraid that even Mrs. Li will have to back away when she sees her."
??As soon as the yin and yang arrogant words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.
??Especially Mr. Li, who took the lead in gossip, his face was full of anger at first, but he turned his head to see the speaker's face clearly.
??He quickly changed his face, smiled flatteringly and cupped his hands in greeting: "Second Young Master Pei."
Pei Xuanting glanced at the officials and aristocrats gathered together to gossip about Pei's mansion, and said with a sarcasm: "A man who stands tall and upright, but hides behind his back and talks about other people's rear houses, it's really a woman's jaw dropping when she hears it. "
?? Everyone was red-faced, but they dared not speak out.
?? There is no way, the Pei family is so powerful, except for the Bai family who can stand against it, who would dare to disobey the Pei family face to face?
?? What's more, today they are the ones talking about Mrs. Pei first, and they are indeed wrong, so it's not easy to break up with Erlang Pei.
?? "Second Master, don't listen to this kind of gossip. Otherwise, it's a small matter to affect your mood, but it's a big problem to lower your intelligence."
??When everyone heard this, they became even more angry, and all looked angrily at the speaker.
??The man was wearing a neat suit, and the material looked very bad. It could only be regarded as not bad, but it was definitely not exquisite.
??The cuffs are neatly tied with arrow sleeves, and the shoulders are also covered with soft armor. It looks like a general.
??But he had a baby face, which looked very childish, and his mighty aura dropped a little in an instant.
?? Moreover, he is not too tall.
??Perhaps he might feel tall in a group of women, but in a group of men—especially in front of the tall and tall Mr. Pei—it would look extraordinarily petite.
??Although everyone didn't dare to hate Mr. Pei's family, they didn't have much politeness to this kind of humble general who had no foundation at first glance.
?? "My lord, Second Master Pei is talking well, what are you trying to do here?"
?? "I don't know what the reason for this gentleman is. Was it invited by Bai Situ, or did he sneak in?"
??Although this statement is sarcasm, it is not unfounded.
??Whether it is ancient or modern, it is not common to attend the banquet of the upper class.
??Many people wanted to go but didn't have an invitation card, some bold people used some tricks to sneak into the banquet, taking the opportunity to find noble people to gain benefits.
??Pei Xuanting's face darkened immediately, and he said impatiently: "Why did I bring him in? Lu Silang!"
?? "Hey!" The little general who had just spoken walked up to Pei Xuanting with a smile and responded.
??Pei Xuan raised his chin arrogantly, and said contemptuously: "Give them a good introduction of yourself, lest a group of people who eat dry food mistakenly think that others eat dry food like them."
??Lu Jing put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly. Then he introduced himself with a smile on his chest, "My surname is Lu, and I have only one name, Jing. There is no word. You can call me Shiro at home."
??Pei Xuanting frowned, and said impatiently: "Get to the point."
??In an instant, Lu Jing straightened his back even more, and said triumphantly: "I once retreated from the Turks with the second master, took Liangzhou, attacked the barbarian border, and defeated Chu."
?? "Although I can't be regarded as an excellent general like General Pei's, I have done a lot of military exploits, big and small. It can be regarded as a small contribution to the safety of my great week."
??Everyone: "..."
?? How shameless!
?? Sure enough, like attracts like and people form like!
?? Those who can get together with the Pei family are all shameless!
??Pei Xuanting blushed slightly, coughed lightly and said: "Okay, just click it, there is no need to tell all the achievements, and I am not afraid that others will not be able to bear it."
??Everyone: "..."
??It seemed as if someone had stabbed her chest severely with a knife.
?? If you want to scold back, spit out a mouthful of blood first.
??At this time, there was a commotion not far away.
?? "Come here!"
?? "There are assassins!"
?? "Help!"
"ah-"
??Screams and cries for help mixed together, and the scene panicked instantly.
?? Lu Jing's face changed, and he jumped to the troubled place.
??A group of masked assassins directly attacked the Bai family.
??The old lady of the Bai family was protected and hid in Tibet, but she couldn't stand her age and couldn't run at all.
?? Great Zhou Shangwu, although the Patriarch of the Bai family is a civil servant, he can handle a few tricks with a knife.
??But he is just a civil servant after all, how can he stand up to a murderous assassin?
"ah-"
??Screams came and went, the Patriarch of the Bai family was stabbed across the face by an assassin, and the blood instantly stained his red robe, which was shocking.
?? Lu Jing silently watched all this absurdity in the chaotic crowd, and quietly clenched the saber at his waist.
?? It wasn't until an assassin rushed towards him in a panic, that Lu Jing drew his sword to fight.
?? "Zheng—"
??The buzzing sound of the tip of the knife shook the eardrums.
?? Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, and in an instant he was forced out with a few tricks.
The assassin was already injured, and his actions were delayed by half a minute. Although he was not hit, his clothes were torn, and the jade pendant hanging on his chest was suddenly exposed, with the word "Huan" engraved on it. The words are half-bright and half-dark in a **** light.
?? Lu Jing's pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands lost all strength.
??The assassin was busy running for his life, and while he was distracted, he immediately attacked with a sword.
?? "Be careful!" Pei Xuanting hurried over and pulled Lu Jing away.
??Pei Xuanting subconsciously wanted to chase the assassin.
?? Lu Jing was startled, and immediately grabbed the opponent's wrist.
?? If the second master catches up, Ah Huan will definitely not be able to escape!
??Lu Jing's mood was shaken, and he passed out as soon as he closed his eyes in desperation.
?? "Shiro!"
??Pei Xuan was terrified, he grabbed the man by the waist, and didn't bother to chase him.
