C42 He Has Been Suspected of Being Assassinated Multiple Times

"Does His Royal Highness really like to play chess?" Jiegeng recalled the favorable information Jiang Wanxin had just told her and immediately asked.

"As far as I know, yes." Jiang Wanxin understood the relationship between the two of them and wanted to help. "In the beginning, His Highness also treated me coldly. Until he found out that I was proficient in chess and that we were deceiving each other. That's why he didn't have anything to say to me. "

Jiegeng frowned. Why was it that she was the one who was the least proficient in chess? If she had known this would happen, she would have learned from her master.

Jiegeng regretted what she had done.

"His Royal Highness is good at military law and chess and the battlefield have something in common. Miss Bai must know what to do with him." Jiang Wanxin saw Jiegeng's distressed look and thought that she did not understand the meaning of her words.

How could Jiegeng not know this logic? But she could not use her shortcomings to fill in other people's strengths.

"I naturally understand Miss Jiang's reasoning, but what I do not understand the most is the game." Jiegeng's face was flushed with embarrassment.

Jiang Wanxin sneered and saw Jiegeng's increasingly gloomy face. She hurriedly said, "Miss Bai, don't misunderstand. I am definitely not making fun of you. It is just that I feel that you should not be troubled by this. It is best to be yourself. Why do you have to change your appearance to please others? "

" Your Royal Highness. " Jiang Wanxin had just finished speaking when she saw Duan Shuang walking towards her. She immediately stood up and bowed.

Jiegeng turned her head and saw Duan Shuang. Her heart was filled with worry.

Indeed, the moment Duan Shuang walked in, he asked Jiegeng, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to practice well in the practice field?" Although this was the content of the blame, Duan Shuang's tone did not have the slightest bit of anger. Instead, there was a hint of joy.

Jiegeng knew that she was in the wrong and did not dare to make a fool of herself like she was looking at the sun. "Your Royal Highness, I was wrong. I will immediately go back to practice." Worried that Duan Shuang still had the following punishment, Jiegeng ran away quickly.

Seeing Jiegeng's frightened look just now, the corners of Duan Shuang's mouth curled up.

"Did you get a superb chess piece from Jingan Tai? Let's see." Duan Shuang came back to his senses and said to Jiang Wanxin.

Jiang Wanxin smiled and looked at their attitudes. She did not dare to say anything in front of Duan Shuang, so she could only play the game on the chessboard.

The sun set in the west. When Jiang Wanxin walked out of the Zhen An Prefecture's gate, she found Jiegeng on the grass outside the palace wall.

Jiegeng was bored as she plucked the weeds on the ground. When she saw Jiang Wanxin coming out of the Imperial Residence, she immediately stood up in panic.

"Miss Bai?" Jiang Wanxin was not in a hurry to get on the carriage.

"Miss Jiang, I am here specifically to wait for you." Jiegeng stuttered.

"If you don't mind, come with me to the carriage." Jiang Wanxin invited him warmly.

Jiegeng nodded and followed Jiang Wanxin to the carriage.

"Why didn't I see Miss Bai's carriage just now?" When the young miss of the aristocratic families went out, there would definitely be a carriage following her, not to mention that Jiegeng was the young miss of King Yi's Mansion, Miss Biao.

"I have not been in the capital for long, so I am not familiar with this place. If I were to ride a carriage every day, I probably would not have the chance to be familiar with this place. Thus, I asked Aunt not to prepare a horse carriage for me." Jiegeng explained a part of the reason. The biggest reason was that Jiegeng was used to being wild in City L and did not like a large group of people following her. She was restricted from going out.

"You don't need Miss Bai to call me. My name is Jiegeng. Just call me Jiegeng." Bai Jiegeng completely relaxed her guard against Jiang Wanxin.

"My name is Jiang Wanxin. You don't need to be so polite." Jiang Wanxin returned the courtesy. "Jiegeng, wait for me at the door. There must be something wrong, right?"

"You are too smart." Jiegeng first praised. "I do have a presumptuous request." Jiegeng's words were slightly shy.

"What?"

"Can you teach me chess?" Jiegeng widened her eyes. This was the only way she could think of after thinking for a long time this afternoon.

Jiang Wanxin heard it and smiled unconsciously. "It seems that you don't understand what I told you before."

"Are you unwilling?" Jiegeng couldn't help but be anxious.

"Of course I can teach you chess. But, do you really know what you really want to do?"

Jiegeng looked confused.

Just as Jiang Wanxin was about to continue, the carriage suddenly shook.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Wanxin asked the coachman outside but did not get any answer.

Just as she was about to open the door and go out to take a look, a sharp sword suddenly stabbed into the carriage.

Fortunately, this sharp sword did not hurt the two of them.

Jiegeng recalled the attack that night and decisively hugged Jiang Wanxin and rolled out of the carriage. Just as Jiegeng expected, the moment they left the carriage, several swords stabbed into the carriage at the same time. It could be imagined that if Jiegeng did not move, there would be several bloody holes on both of their bodies.

"Are you alright?" Jiegeng immediately asked Jiang Wanxin with concern.

Jiang Wanxin shook her head, but it was obvious that she was shocked.

This time, these black clothed people did not want to grind and rub like last time.

"Mistress said that as long as it is that plain clothed girl, the rest will be killed without question." A black clothed person gave the order.

Jiegeng immediately understood that this time, they were not in the same group as last time. Last time, they wanted to kill her, but this time they wanted to capture her alive. What was their goal? Was it the medical book?

"Wanxin, this time I have implicated you. I will protect your safety even at the cost of my life. Take a good look at the time and escape quickly." Jiegeng could only comfort Jiang Wanxin like this at this moment. However, there was a huge difference between friend and foe and how difficult it was to escape.

Seeing the black clothed men come forward, Jiegeng immediately took off the hairpin on her head, intending to use these few learned skills. Unfortunately, martial arts could not reach home. Even though the hairpin hit the enemy, it deviated far from fatal or paralyzing the opponent's acupuncture points.

When Jiegeng saw this, she immediately pushed Jiang Wanxin far away and went forward to deal with it.

But how could Jiegeng be a match for these well-trained people who held swords and sabers? The moment she stepped forward, she twisted her leg to avoid the sword and saber of a man in black.

When she saw a bright sword and saber stabbing towards her, Jiegeng was so scared that she immediately closed her eyes.

"Clang! Another sword blocked the attack for Jiegeng.

Jiegeng opened her eyes and saw that it was a person she did not recognize at all. That person quickly repelled the black clothed people around Jiegeng but did not expect that there was actually someone attacking Jiang Wanxin from behind.

At this time, Jiang Wanxin was saved by a dark green figure. Looking closely, it was the Right Minister, Hsiang Xuanfei.

"You dare to publicly commit murder in the city, where is the law?" Hsiang Xuanfei immediately questioned.

"Brothers, retreat!" The leader seemed to recognize Hsiang Xuanfei. As soon as he appeared, he retreated.

"Miss, are you alright?" Only then did Hsiang Xuanfei have the time to ask Jiang Wanxin, who was protected behind him.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for saving me." Jiang Wanxin immediately thanked him. Even though Jiang Wanxin often stayed outside of the city at Jingan shi's residence, she had seen this new noble in the Imperial Court before.

"Who are you?" Jiegeng asked the person who had just saved him.

But this person did not reply and disappeared in an instant.
