Chapter 16 A bolt from the blue

"Take your surname and give me my name."

After hearing the story, Xu Miaojin burst into tears and repeated this sentence three times.

Women are, after all, emotional creatures.

Even a strange woman like Xu Miaojin, who has a scholarly spirit in her heart, is no exception.

The two stood side by side by the river, under a big willow tree.

The slender weeping willows fluttered in the wind, and the sunset in the west burned the rest of the sky red.

"Miss Miaojin, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Zhu Xiongying looked at the setting sun.

"I…"

Xu Miaojin was silent.

"I have no idea."

She has always been resistant to matters involving men and women, especially marriage.

The main reason for this is her second and third sisters. Although they all married as princesses and seemed to have unlimited glory, in fact, their married life was extremely tortured. This made Xu Miaojin even more disgusted with political marriages.

And as the daughter of Xu Da, if she wanted to get married, it could only be a political marriage.

Therefore, she would rather live a lonely life than accept political arrangements. She does not accept that fate.

'Love at first sight...do I deserve it?'

"I believe."

"Right now."

A sudden sentence suddenly woke Xu Miaojin up, and she subconsciously looked at Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying also turned his head to look at Xu Miaojin, and their eyes met.

At this moment, Xu Miaojin's heart trembled violently, and she could feel her heartbeat speeding up.

It’s a feeling I’ve never had before…

The electric light flashed between the eyes, and even the air became a little sweeter.

One person is leaning over and the other person is standing on tiptoes.

The cheeks of the two were getting closer and closer, and they could even feel the heat of each other's breath.

'Success comes so suddenly!'

Zhu Xiongying was ecstatic in his heart. He thought it would be better if he could save the powerful medicine, because it was troublesome after all.

'No...I can't hurt him.'

Xu Miaojin was struggling internally. She knew that she had no future with the person in front of her who didn't even have fame.

However, the distance is still getting closer.

Boo hoo hoo hoo!

Just when their lips were about to touch each other, the sound of breaking wind sounded.

With almost no hesitation, Zhu Xiongying hugged Xu Miaojin, ducked sideways, and more than ten crossbow arrows landed on the big willow tree.

Why take action without giving an order?!

'assassin'.

The next moment, Zhu Xiongying realized something was wrong.

He originally thought that this was the person who arranged for the hero to save the beauty, but now it seems that it is not the case.

I was careless and was calculated.

In order not to arouse Xu Miaojin's suspicion, Zhu Xiongying did not arrange any escorts.

Xu Miaojin also frowned.

Her first thought was that this must be for her. After all, she is the daughter of Xu Da and the younger sister of the current Wei Guogong. As long as she is caught, she will be seizing political power and use it to threaten Xu Huizu.

Can reach many ulterior secrets.

"You go quickly."

Xu Miaojin wanted to push Zhu Xiongying away.

However, Zhu Xiongying's strong arms locked her tightly in his arms. The man's unique breath invaded her breath, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

'Xu Miaojin, you are still thinking wildly at this time...'

'We must not drag Mr. Lu down!'

Just when Xu Miaojin was about to say something else, more than a dozen killers dressed in black had already jumped out of various houses and went straight to kill Zhu Xiongying behind the big willow tree.

'Twelve, Yanling knives, short crossbows.'

Zhu Xiongying glanced at the twelve killers in black with a cold look in his eyes.

The Yanling Sword is a military sword of the Ming Dynasty.

The short crossbow can only be equipped by the army.

The Ming Dynasty had extremely strict arms control, and every weapon was recorded unless it was made privately.

Only those vassal kings with military power had the ability and ability to privately manufacture ordnance.

'The Jade Qing Dynasty is green, the true talisman declares the alliance, pushes the two Qi, mixes one and becomes true. Five thunders and five thunders, meet Huang Ning in a hurry, the dense clouds change, the roar of lightning is rapid, the sound of Yang is heard, and the wolf

Luo Ju Bin, the sullen and meowing Lu, the chun suppressing the evil, and the urgency is like the law.'

Thinking silently in his mind, Master Zhu hugged Xu Miaojin with one hand and pinched out the seal with the other hand behind his waist.

In an instant, thunderclouds appeared ten feet above the sky.

Boom!

There was a loud noise.

Nine rays of thunder pierced the sky and descended, exploding in a ring around the entire willow tree, and smoke and dust instantly rolled up.

The twelve killers all froze in shock. They had never seen such a thing like a bolt from the blue. Several of them were affected by the thunder and had their limbs blown off.

"Don't let anyone run away!"

The leader gave a reminder, and the rest of the people reacted and rushed forward one after another.

But when they cleared away the smoke, they found that the people under the willow tree had already disappeared without a trace.

An hour later.

At this moment, thunderbolts from the blue have spread throughout Yingtian Mansion, and there are all kinds of things...

Some say it’s heaven’s punishment, some say it’s a great injustice done to the world, and some say it’s God’s warning to the Ming Dynasty, indicating that a catastrophe is coming…

Even the imperial court was alarmed, and the six ministries held emergency meetings one after another.

The astronomical masters of the Qintian Prison are even more busy one by one, making various analyzes and speculations.

And as night falls, an ordinary firewood shed in the Yuelao Temple in the inner city.

A man and a woman were leaning against a pile of firewood.

"You are hurt."

"Does it hurt..."

Xu Miaojin looked at the pale man in front of her, feeling filled with guilt. In her opinion, all this was because of herself.

"I'll fetch the doctor!"

Xu Miaojin was about to stand up when Zhu Xiongying grabbed her.

"This is the inner city, and there is a curfew at night."

Xu Miaojin knelt down and suddenly thought of something. She quickly tore open the hem of her skirt and bandaged the man's shoulder wound.

When bandaging, blood seeped into the skirt.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Tears welled up in his eyes, and pearl-like tears seeped out from the corners of his eyes.

After all, Xu Miaojin was only an eighteen-year-old girl at this time, and she was far from the transcendental world that she had during the period of 'Reply to Emperor Yongle' in the original historical trajectory.

"Do not blame you."

Zhu Xiongying endured the pain, smiled, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Xu Miaojin's cheek.

‘Task 4: Countdown 00:30:59’

Time is running out.
