Chapter 391
The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (13)
At this time, she stood up, holding a glass of wine in her hand, and walked to the old lady to salute her. She stood in a position just blocking Madam Shangshu, and Tie Yi's eyes remained on her.
At this moment, the actor who was spinning around with a spear on the stage jumped up, raised the spear and stabbed the people on the table below the stage directly!
After a brief moment of daze, everyone on the table became confused and everyone around them fled. In the confusion, Tie Yi had already pinched the spear in the opponent's hand, pulled it back hard, and then pulled it out from his waist.
The saber's sharp movement cut off the opponent's hand tendon.
The guards guarding the surroundings also quickly took action. The people in the troupe were highly skilled in martial arts. Seeing that Jiang Lai was nearest, they were about to reach out and pull him away. As a result, Jiang Lai lowered his head and easily dodged it. As for Jiang Yu who was behind Jiang Lai, he was unlucky.
Was pulled over.
The sharp knife was pressed against her neck.
"Jiang Lai!! Protect your sister!!"
Mrs. Zhao's voice was particularly sharp and prominent, and she rushed over regardless of everything.
Mrs. Hou was even knocked away by her.
All the assassins were caught, except the one in front of him who held a knife against Jiang Yu's neck.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were full of tears and she stood beside her tremblingly, grabbing Jiang Lai's arm to urge her.
"How could you avoid it! How could you avoid it! She is your sister, the legitimate daughter of the Hou family! Nothing can happen to her!"
Jiang Lai's face was expressionless.
The surrounding guests were in shock, but their faces were still full of shock and confusion after hearing these words.
She asked her biological daughter to exchange for the safety of her legitimate daughter. Those who didn't know it thought that the person being pressed against the neck was her biological child.
Jiang Lai opened his sleeves.
"Mom, I am your biological child, right?"
Mrs. Zhao was shocked and suddenly realized that where she was now, the people standing around were all smart. She was flustered, scared and worried, and could only look at Tie Yi tremblingly.
"General, please save her. Madam Marquis will be very grateful to you!"
Yes, Tie Yizai, he likes Yu'er so much, he will not let anything happen to her.
Tie Yi took the lead and strode to Jiang Lai's side. After glancing up and down at her to make sure there were no wounds on Jiang Lai's body, Tie Yi reached for her and pulled her behind him.
Looking at the assassin again, his hands were shaking crazily as the terrifying Tie Yi was staring at him.
Jiang Yu was held hostage by him. Although she was panicking, she looked at Tie Yi standing in front of her and tried to calm down.
She took a deep breath and spoke to the person behind her.
"All your accomplices have been captured, so the mission will definitely not be completed. You just want to keep yourself safe, but where are you? Why don't I get you a carriage and help you escape."
"I don't want the carriage, I want your life!"
As he said that, the sharp blade slashed without hesitation!
At this moment, a miserable cry lifted everyone's hearts, and a figure pounced directly towards Jiang Lai with fearless courage and sacrifice...
When Jiang Lai saw Mrs. Zhao's eyes, he knew what she had in mind, so he stood there and watched her bump into him. When she couldn't regain her strength and threw herself over completely by inertia, she stood still.
Tie Yi, who was in front of Jiang Lai, pulled Jiang Lai into his arms without hesitation.
Just like that, everyone watched Mrs. Zhao bump into the assassin. The assassin's knife was knocked crooked by her, but it still made a cut along Jiang Yu's cheek.
The assassin reacted quickly, and when he saw that Jiang Yu could no longer control him, he stabbed Mrs. Zhao in the lower abdomen.
When he wanted to raise the knife again, a dagger flew out and hit the assassin between the eyebrows. The assassin died on the spot.
This scene frightened all the guests around. Tie Yi stepped forward, pulled out the dagger from the assassin's head with a cold face, and ordered the guards behind him.
"Drag him down and search him, and the other assassins will have their jaws removed and be put in the dungeon."
After the turmoil ended, the birthday banquet could no longer be held. The guests left one after another, leaving only the Hou family staying in the General's Mansion temporarily.
Because both Jiang Yu and Mrs. Zhao were injured, and there were military doctors accompanying them in the general's mansion, timely bandaging could prevent subsequent accidents.
The frightened old lady covered her heart and went back to rest. Xu Ruling came back quickly after comforting the old lady. Seeing the blood marks on Jiang Yu's face, her face was full of worry.
"Doctor, you must not leave any scars."
The military doctor examined the injury and wrote lightly.
"If you hide in time, the wound won't be deep. Don't let the wound touch the water. Eat a light diet recently and it won't leave any scars."
Jiang Yu's hanging heart dropped, and Xu Ruling beside her also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, don't worry, I will definitely find out the origin of this opera troupe and give an explanation to the Hou Mansion."
After saying that, she looked sideways at Jiang Lai who was standing outside the door.
Jiang Yu was really uneasy at this time. Apart from the injuries on her face, what made her even more concerned was Mrs. Zhao's actions today. All the distinguished guests in the capital had seen the scene just now. Mrs. Zhao's anxious and panicked look just now was so disturbing.
Just put her on the fire to roast.
She is just a concubine, how can she be qualified to get ahead of Mrs. Hou?
Jiang Yu frowned, feeling very upset in her heart.
"I'll go take a look at the house over there."
Mrs. Zhao was lying next door, and Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou were there. Jiang Yu got up and wanted to go over. At this time, Xu Ruling wanted to support her, but Jiang Yu said something cold.
"Ru Ling, please go deal with the affairs in the house first."
Xu Ruling was very knowledgeable and watched Jiang Yu walk into the house and closed the door at the same time.
In the end, Mrs. Zhao was out of danger, but because the wound was too serious to move, she had to stay in the General's Mansion for two more days to recuperate.
It was getting late, and the origin of the assassin had not yet been found out, so Tie Yi personally escorted Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou's family away on horseback.
After arriving at the place, the Marquis took the initiative to invite Tie Yi to come in and sit there, but Tie Yi refused.
"There are still many things to deal with in the house. I will come and visit my father-in-law in person when I have time."
"Okay, okay, be careful on the way back."
That night, Mrs. Hou didn't sleep much all night, her mind was filled with Mrs. Zhao's abnormal behavior.
Mrs. Zhao is usually such a shrewd person. Unless she is stupid, she would not push her biological daughter up to protect her daughter from the knife. But in extremely urgent situations, people will show their flaws. This made Mrs. Hou couldn't help but think of what happened in the past.
.
"Master Hou, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong."
The Marquis frowned and told her not to think too much.
"Isn't it a good thing for you that she treats your daughter as her own? She kept thinking about her on the way back. What on earth were you thinking about?"
Mrs. Hou sat on the bed, recalling everything Mrs. Zhao had said to Jiang Yu in the past, and her doubts became more and more serious.
"Back then, she and I had children in the same temple."
Mr. Hou simply sat up and looked at her.
"So? What are you thinking?"
