Chapter 334: Shock on the Long Street
"Lele, look, this is a rattle. Boom, boom, boom!"
Su Li took the wave drum that Song Zhi bought from the street, placed it in front of Pei Le and shook it gently. The crisp sound of the wave drum made Pei Le giggle, and he waved his little hands to grab it.
Outside the carriage, Songzhi said with a smile:
"Madam, the young master likes it very much!"
Song Tao, who was standing by, pointed to a small stall not far away and shouted excitedly, "Madam, there are a lot of little things over there. Let me go and take a look."
It had been a long time since they had returned to Shengjing. When the master and servants first saw the prosperity of the capital, they became playful and went shopping along the way.
"Go."
Just as Su Li finished her words, she heard a sharp sound of a piercing arrow piercing the air above the bustling city. She looked up and saw an arrow coming straight at her from the restaurant across the street.
Almost instinctively, she turned around and hugged Pei Le, holding him tightly under her body.
Then there was a ding sound of gold and jade colliding, and the arrow was hit by something and nailed diagonally to the wall of the carriage.
"Sister!"
Song Ci's voice sounded behind him.
The guards accompanying the Pei family also reacted and surrounded Su Li and the young master outside the carriage!
"There are assassins!"
As soon as the words were spoken, another arrow was fired from the opposite side, but this arrow did not hit the person, but directly hit the horse in front.
The horse was hit in the butt by an arrow, and it screamed in pain, raised its hooves and rushed straight towards the long street.
The pedestrians on the street were frightened and ran away in all directions.
The carriage rushed around, and Su Li was thrown all over the place. Even though her body was hurting, she didn't dare to let go. She just gritted her teeth and held Pei Le in her arms.
The Pei family guards followed closely behind, and saw Song Ci leap up with a few quick steps, kicking the table on the street with one foot, and leaping towards the carriage.
"drive!"
Extremely thrilling, Song Ci jumped onto the horse's back, grabbed the reins and galloped all the way.
"Sister, don't panic! I will definitely be able to save you."
But even though Song Ci controlled the horse tightly, the horse had gone mad due to the injury on its buttocks, and it just kept running forward recklessly and couldn't stop.
"Aci, be careful!"
Su Li held onto the carriage with one hand and held Pei Le in the other, watching the merchants on both sides of the long street retreat rapidly, and the people on the street were frightened and staggering, screaming.
"Sister, sit down!"
Song Ci squeezed the horse's belly and pulled the reins tightly, not daring to be careless for a moment.
"The horse was startled!"
I don’t know how far I ran, but suddenly I heard a burst of hurried horse hooves coming from the opposite side.
A man and a horse came galloping over. The man on the horse drew out a long sword and when passing by Song Ci, he stabbed the sword into the horse's neck with his backhand.
Su Li saw it clearly as they rode past each other on horseback.
"Pei Heng!"
Pei Heng ran for a short distance, then immediately turned his horse around and caught up, driving side by side with the carriage. He jumped over, got into the carriage, and hugged Su Li and Pei Le in his arms.
Almost at the same time, the last neigh of a frightened horse was heard outside, and then it fell to the ground with a bang, bleeding profusely.
Song Ci turned over and rolled on the ground, then stood up.
The carriage overturned immediately afterwards. At the moment of the overturn, Pei Heng flew out of the carriage holding Su Li and Pei Le and landed steadily on the ground.
After a long street scare, it finally ended without any harm.
The long street was in a mess.
Horse blood was scattered all over the ground, it was a horrible sight!
"Ali!"
Pei Heng held Su Li in his arms, calling out repeatedly, his hands trembling slightly with fear. As soon as he finished his work for the day, he headed towards the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, ready to take them home.
If he had been a moment later, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"How are you? Is everything okay?"
His voice trembled.
Su Li was dizzy from the jolting of the carriage. She quickly checked on Pei Le in her arms and saw that he was fine, sucking his fists. She breathed a sigh of relief, her legs giving way, and she nearly collapsed in Pei Heng's arms.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
"General!"
The Pei family guards caught up with them and knelt on the ground to apologize.
"General, I am sorry for the poor protection of my subordinates. Please punish me!"
Pei Heng frowned and said sternly:
"Now is not the time to investigate! Go and find out who is trying to assassinate the Madam and the Young Master."
"Yes!"
The Pei family guards sent several people to run back towards the restaurant.
"Aci!"
Su Li quickly waved her hand and asked Song Ci to come over. She grabbed Song Ci's hand and looked carefully up and down.
"Are you injured anywhere?"
Song Ci smiled nonchalantly and said:
"Don't worry, sister. I'm tough!"
As he said this, he clasped his fists and greeted Pei Heng, and the two nodded in acknowledgement.
At this time, the maidservant and the nanny beside Song Ci ran up panting. The nanny grabbed Song Ci and cried:
"Miss, how could you just rush up like that without caring about anything? How can your body withstand the torture... Ugh!"
Before the nanny could finish her words, Song Ci covered her mouth with his hand.
Su Li heard the hidden meaning in the words and asked:
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing! I'm fine! I just got injured in the North, but I'm all healed now. Mammy, you're just worrying about nothing!"
Su Li looked at her suspiciously, and seeing that she was laughing heartlessly, and indeed didn't look like anything was wrong, she said angrily:
"Old injuries really should be taken care of. Don't be careless."
Song Ci smiled and said:
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister. General, this place is dangerous. I think that person is coming for my sister. We shouldn't stay here for long. It's better to take my sister and Pei Le back as soon as possible."
"What about you?" Su Li was worried.
"Mammy and I are out to do some shopping. Don't worry, sister. Let's go."
Pei Heng supported Su Li,
"Let's go. Song Ci is a female general, it's okay."
Pei Heng carried Su Li onto the horse and left.
As soon as Su Li left, the nanny couldn't help it.
"Miss, there's nothing you can't say! Madam Pei will definitely support you."
"I know."
Su Li has always been the most open-minded. Even if she knew about her pregnancy, she would definitely stand by her side. But if Su Li knew about it, there was no guarantee that Su Zhe would not know about it.
She didn't want to cause any trouble.
"Stop talking, Mammy. It's getting late, let's go."
Today, she went to the mountain behind Huguo Temple outside the city.
Liao Zhiyi's tomb is there.
She went there specifically to pay tribute to Liao Zhiyi.
If it weren't for Liao Zhiyi, it wouldn't be that easy to redress the case of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Her Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion owed Liao Zhiyi a life!
I encountered this kind of thing just after returning to the city.
Song Ci walked back towards the carriage, but after only a few steps he felt a stomachache.
After just a few steps, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Mammy, it hurts!"
Seeing Song Ci's expression, the nanny stamped her feet fiercely, angrily saying:
"I'm afraid this is a miscarriage! What a sin! Let's go, hurry up, to the clinic!"
Fortunately, there was a room nearby, and the two of them supported Song Ci and rushed in.
