【One hundred and eighty-fourth chapter】Prevent the assassination of Shao Yan

A murderous aura suddenly surged across his body, which made the two of them tremble subconsciously.

They were very shocked. Zhou Qi saw their thoughts at a glance. How could anyone be so good at identifying people's hearts?

The back of the young man from the rivers and lakes is lengthening in the staggered sunshine, making him look very lonely.

He turned around and looked at the wing room, but saw that Shao Qian, who was still under the steps just now, disappeared.

The guard was shocked and immediately rushed forward. After searching around, he found that the door of the wing room had been pushed open.

In front of the desk, the young man in plain clothes sat quietly, extremely quiet.

The two guards then breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and closed the door of the wing quietly, locked it up again, and locked Shao Qian in the room.

The doors are tightly closed, the windows are locked, and the room is dull and dull.

Shao Qian sat quietly on the futon with his eyes low.

What Mu Jing said to him before his death kept wandering in his mind.

Life experience, what are the secrets of his life experience?

Mu Jing said so, and now Zhou Yuanmo also said so to him.

Isn’t he the son of Ning Zheng?

Shao Qian found it ridiculous. Even if he hated Ning Zheng, even if he thought Ning Zheng was not worthy of being a father, he never thought that Ning Zheng was not such a ridiculous possibility that Ning Zheng was not his father.

If he is not Ning Zheng's son, does that mean that Cao Xiu is not his mother either?

Could it be that Ning Zheng either beat or scolded him since childhood and Cao Xiu ignored him was because he was not the biological son of the two of them?

Otherwise, why did Mu Jing say that his life experience is doubtful, and Zhou Yuanmo also said that his life experience is doubtful.

Shao Qian's mind was in chaos and he only felt ridiculous.

If he was not Ning Zheng's son, then where did he come from? Who are his real parents? Why was he adopted by Cao Xiu and raised in the Huai Palace?

He had a thousand questions in his mind, but he could not find the answer from it, and his whole body was trembling.

Zhou Yuanmo, what did you know? What did Mu Jing know?

Why did Zhou Yuanmo warn him not to trust the people around him easily? Who are the people around him referring to? Cao Xiu, Ji Xianzhi, Jiang Chengjia or Lu Xun?

He was panicked and his mind was entangled. He could not escape from what Zhou Yuanmo said, and kept forcing himself to think about all the suspicious things over the years.

The more he thought about the past, the more he felt cold.

Gradually, he broke free from anger, cold heart, suspicion, and fear, slowly calmed down and returned to his rationality.

Shao Qian had a cold face and was still thinking about this matter, but he was a little calmer just now.

After a long time, he suddenly remembered something that he had gradually forgotten.

More than a year ago, Dou Yueshan's father Dou Xunfen wanted to use Zhao Fu to assassinate him.

He couldn't figure out this matter, and he didn't understand why Dou Xunfen wanted to kill him. At that time, Cao Xiu's attitude was very fierce when he heard about this matter, which made him suspicious.

Cheng Yue, the head of the local aristocratic family who participated in the assassination, and Cao Xiu, were old acquaintances. When Ji Xianzhi interrogated, Cheng Yue also specifically mentioned Dou Xunen's death.

Dou Xunen...Dou Xunen...

Shao Qian was suddenly shocked when he recited this name.

All these things seem to point to Dou Xunen. Whether it is Dou Taijun, Cao Xiu, or even Dou Yueshan, or Ning Zheng, it seems that everyone is hiding the truth about Dou Xunen's death back then. Especially, I don't want him to know.

Why? Why do everyone try their best to conceal the truth about Dou Xunen's murder? Be especially wary of him?

A guess, a terrible guess, a thought, was Dou Xunen related to his confusing life experience?

His thoughts began to get confused again.

Outside the window, the sun hanging high in the sky showed its tired look, gradually descending towards the east mountain, retracting the sunshine, and quietly moving away from the earth with the afterglow.

The sky gradually darkened, and the autumn banquet began as agreed.

Shao Qian sat down and thought for an afternoon, but he never found out his connection with Dou Xunen.

In his memory, this person is indeed like a breeze and bright moon. He once taught him his lifelong painting skills and was the uncle who loved him the most in the Dou family. However, Shao Qian only had the memory of him teaching painting skills, and the rest was gone.

Because of Zhou Qi's words, he thought about it uneasy in the wing room for half a day. When he came to his senses, he realized that it was getting late. He immediately remembered the autumn banquet that was held in the evening. He cursed secretly, stood up quickly, walked to the door, and pushed the door hard.

The door of the house was locked tightly.

Shao Qian asked outside anxiously: "Two little adults, is the banquet going to begin?"

The guard guarding outside replied, "Looking at the hour, the autumn banquet has begun for half an hour. Shao Langjun asked what he did?"

Shao Qian paused, calmed down, and said calmly: "My sister is performing a dance today, I want to go to the court to take a look."

The guard said, "Shao Langjun is waiting. Let's have a dance show. It's probably not yet time yet."

Shao Qian asked again: "So can't I go to the court for a banquet now?"

The guard nodded and replied, "The people who came to the banquet today are all officials from various counties and leaders of the border. The people in the mansion are complicated. The escort general ordered us to take good care of you. The villain advised Shao Langjun to stay in the wing room and not to go out and leave."

Shao Qian was unhappy. Is this Deng Qing really going to imprison him forever?

He said coldly: "I don't know what the Protector General wants? I am not a serious criminal in the Criminal Code. Why do you lock me in the house? Why do you have to keep an eye on me?"

The guards outside froze, their voices became a little gentler, and they respectfully said to the people inside: "Shao Langjun, you misunderstood. We are not monitoring you. We protect the generals for the safety of Shao Langjun. After all, before you returned to the Protectorate's Mansion, you were kidnapped by the Huns. The general was afraid that something would happen to you, so it was difficult to explain to Miss Shao Yan, so that we could not help protect you in a row."

Shao Qian sneered, "Didn't you monitor me? Why do you always lock my door after I entered the wing room? My house is sealed so tight that there is no sunshine. Is this also the measure your general has taken to protect me? Why do I think your general is afraid that I will run away?"

The guard continued to explain: "Mr. I misunderstood. Our general doesn't mean this..."

Shao Qian interrupted their explanation: "Since there is no such intention, then open the door and let me out. The two little adults know that I have no force and are even more blessed with injuries. Even if I want to escape from your control, it is impossible. Don't worry, I just want to go to the vestibule to see my sister, and I will never cause trouble for the two little adults."

The guards outside stopped answering.

After a long silence, the sound of unlocking finally came from outside the door.

The guard opened the door and released Shao Qian out.

"Shao Langjun, you can only go in quietly at the banquet in front of the court and never disturb you."

Shao Qian nodded and bowed to the two guards in front of the door and said, "Thank you, the two little adults, for their compassion."

He walked out of the southwest courtyard and walked along the path towards the brightly lit vestibule, while the guard behind him still followed closely.

Shao Qian looked at the busy servants in the mansion, and a hint of hesitation arose in his heart.

These two guards must have been instructed by Deng Qing, so they stopped him and did not want him to attend the banquet in the vestibule.

But Mingming clearly, in his dream, he was invited to the table and sat in the last table. Therefore, he saw the scene of Shao Yan being assassinated. But the current situation was slightly different from that in his dream.

Why is this?

Shao Qian quietly came to the vestibule, and in the huge courtyard, there were people.

He carefully slipped in from the back door where the servant entered and exited, hiding in the place where the lights were not on and silently watching the people coming and going.

It was about half an hour before Shao Yan would enter the courtyard to perform a dance.

With such a mixed banquet, Shao Qian was even more worried that the dream scene would become a reality.

The more diverse the crowds are, the more Zhou Yuanmo can choose time to attack Shao Yan.

In the dream, the person who assassinated Shao Yan was not Zhou Yuanmo, but a female assassin with a face.

Shao Qian remembered the woman's appearance. Although he still couldn't believe in the absurd things that overlapped with reality, he did not dare to joke about Shao Yan's life. So he paid close attention to everyone at the banquet and wanted to find the female assassin who appeared in the dream.

The banquet was extremely lively, and Shao Qian could only see the seats in the courtyard, but could not see the situation in the hall.

Deng Qing, Zhou Yuanmo and others all sat in the hall.

Shao Yan will also dance in the hall.

The female assassin who appeared in the dream mixed into the VIP seat set up in the hall, and then he would have the opportunity to assassinate Shao Yan who was dancing. Therefore, the people who wanted to sneak into the hall are the most suspicious.

Soon, Shao Qian noticed that a woman dressed as a servant was mixed in the crowd, holding a food plate in her hand, sneaking and suspicious, as if she wanted to enter the hall with the chef servants of the Protectorate's Mansion.

He felt nervous and immediately followed the servant to the hall.

However, before he could reach the steps, he was stopped by the two guards following him.

"Shao Langjun, General Protector said that outsiders are not allowed to enter the hall."

Shao Qian looked at the two of them with a headache, and then looked into the hall again. He saw that the woman had walked out with the chef servants, as if she had not done anything unusual.

Shao Qian frowned and carefully paid attention to the person's appearance. Under the dim candlelight in the courtyard, he saw clearly the woman's appearance. He was not the female assassin in his dream.

He was a little disappointed, retracted his gaze and continued to search among the crowd.

However, Shao Qian inspected the yard and found no suspicious person. He couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that the assassin had already mixed into the hall?

He glanced at the two guards following him and started to pay attention.

He stepped out of the courtyard, slowly moved away from the banquet, and walked back to the southwest courtyard.
