After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

Cui Yuanqing lifted her up by her arm and immediately realized that Cheng Songan had recognized him and wanted to help him escape.

Cheng Songan felt that the strength of the person behind her was loose, and there was no sign of him holding her hostage. She couldn't help but secretly curse Cui Yuanqing for being stupid and not being able to react. So she made up her mind and reached out to hold his hand, pretending to pull him away, but in fact she was pressing his hand against her neck, and shouted, "Let me go!"

In order to make it more realistic, she pressed her body tightly against his, twisting and struggling constantly.

Cui Yuanqing's body stiffened, and he increased the strength of his hands and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't move!"

Cheng Songan found it amusing to hear his deliberately changed voice, and acted even harder: "Let me go, I'm the wife of the current Minister Cui!"

Cui Yuanqing held her tightly in his hands, but his body retreated slightly. If this woman continued to rub against him, even a god would not be able to bear it! He whispered helplessly in her ear: "Don't move!"

"Let go of Madam Cui!" Princess Xiang was trembling all over. She hugged Duan Zhuyu who was trying to rush forward and was almost crying with fear. "Her husband is the Imperial Inspector appointed by the emperor himself, holding the Imperial Sword. If you hurt her, you will not be able to escape no matter where you are."

In her previous life, Princess Xiang gave birth to three legitimate sons, and her son became the Crown Prince. Her means and courage were incomparable to ordinary people, but she was frightened like this at this time, and it was obvious that she was acting.

Cheng Songan responded loudly: "Princess, don't panic. How dare such a rat hurt me?"

Cui Yuanqing laughed very softly, the sound vibrating her chest and transmitted to her from behind. No one knew what she was laughing at.

Cheng Songan was a little annoyed, frowned and said angrily: "Kill me if you dare!"

When these words were spoken, not only Princess Xiang but even Prince Jin was surprised. Ming Zhan, who jumped up with a sword in his hand, was even more stunned. It turned out that the ladies in the capital were so generous.

"Put down Madam Cui, and I will spare your life!" Ming Zhan slowly raised his sword and said to Cui Yuanqing.

The Prince of Xiang followed up the stairs tremblingly, and climbed up with his feet slipping every time. He pulled Ming Zhan's sleeve and said in panic, "Don't do that. Don't be impulsive. If you hurt Madam Cui, how will you explain to Minister Cui and Grand Secretary Cheng?"

He looked exactly like Princess Xiang, panic-stricken and cowardly.

Prince Jin frowned and said, "Fifth brother, look at what you have accomplished."

King Xiang wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve and replied calmly, "Third brother, he, they, really dared to kill people."

Prince Jin glared at him impatiently. The Queen told him to pay attention to Prince Xiang while dealing with Prince Shou, but seeing how cowardly he looked, how could his father consider him?

Cui Yuanqing glanced around and said in a rough voice: "Stop talking nonsense, get out of the way and let us out. I will release her when we get to a safe place."

Upon hearing this, King Xiang immediately wiped his sweat and stammered, "Third brother, you, you, listen, did you hear it? Quick..."

Prince Jin glared at him in dissatisfaction, and Prince Xiang was so frightened that he dared not speak immediately. He then said, "You dared to assassinate the prince and the prime minister of the dynasty. This is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. How can we let you go?"

The long sword swung and stabbed over.

Cui Yuanqing picked up Cheng Songan and raised his sword to block, and in just one move he turned defense into offense, forcing Prince Jin to retreat again.

Cheng Songan was a little stunned. When he stepped on the stairs just now, his steps were obviously weak and he seemed to have no strength. She thought it was due to internal injuries. After all, he needed support when he came out of Cui's house. But she didn't expect that his swordsmanship was so superb and his methods were so cruel. If he wanted to escape, he didn't need her help at all.

Prince Jin retreated with murderous intent on his face. The people around him immediately understood and surrounded them with swords raised.

Ming Zhan held the sword and jumped into the center of the battlefield. He frowned and said, "Wait! Madam Cui is still in the hands of this thief."

Cheng Song'an was touched. She didn't expect that he would care about her life after just one encounter. He was indeed a general who served his country and his people. Just based on this sentence, if there was a chance in the future, she would definitely help him avoid the ambush.

Cui Yuanqing laughed contemptuously, picked up Cheng Songan, leaped into the house, and was about to jump out the window when Ming Zhan stopped him with a raised sword.

Princess Xiang yelled at him anxiously, "Stop fighting, don't, don't hurt Madam Cui by mistake."

Ming Zhan did not answer, but fought with Cui Yuanqing with a stern face.

Princess Xiang gradually became impatient. Ming Zhan's arrival was unexpected, and she did not explain today's events to him. Even the King of Xiang spoke impatiently, "Ming Zhan, step back!"

But Ming Zhan was stubborn by nature and had never voluntarily retreated on the battlefield. How could he be willing to give up at this time?

Cui Yuanqing was getting impatient with him, so he swung his sword and used 90% of his strength to force him out of the door. He grabbed Cheng Songan's shoulders and tried to push her into the arms of Princess Xiang.

Just at this moment, a person behind Prince Jin threw out an arrow from his sleeve.

"No!" Ming Zhan's long sword flew out of his hand and blocked the sleeve arrow!

Everyone looked at him in confusion, unable to believe that he actually knocked away the sleeve arrow that Prince Jin had thrown at the assassin. Only Cheng Songan understood that the sleeve arrow was not aimed at Cui Yuanqing, but at her!

Cui Yuanqing took advantage of this opportunity, picked up Cheng Songan and jumped out of the window. Several figures followed behind him, crossed the street and walked into the alley.

The person hiding behind Prince Jin blocked the road sinisterly and asked, "Who are you? Whose order did you receive?"

Cui Yuanqing said: "We are here to speak up for His Royal Highness Prince Fu."

The man snorted coldly: "What nonsense!"

After a pause, he said with a fake smile: "It's a pity that Madam Cui, who is as beautiful as a flower, will die in the hands of an assassin today!"

Before Cheng Songan could react, a sleeve arrow just brushed past her ear and left a thin scar on her face.

With a sound of "Pu", the sharp sword pierced through the flesh, and blood spurted out. But this blood was Cui Yuanqing's!

Cheng Songan was horrified and murmured, "You, you..."

Cui Yuanqing groaned and whispered, "Don't talk, go aside quickly."

After saying that, he pushed her and Cheng Songan fell down and sat against the wall.

The man suddenly smiled unexpectedly: "You know each other!"

Cheng Songan's heart skipped a beat. This was her trouble. When she was young, she heard from her grandfather that if the yamen runners only wanted to catch the criminals who had hostages, they would ignore the hostages and even deliberately injure the hostages. The injured hostages would resist violently, and the criminals would be unable to control themselves, and the yamen runners could take advantage of the chaos to shoot the criminals.

It seemed that this man did not want to kill Cheng Songan. He just wanted to hurt her and make her resist, but Cui Yuanqing blocked the arrow for her.

Just now in Hongyan Tower, if Ming Zhan hadn't blocked the first hidden sword, he would have been exposed on the spot. Couldn't Cui Yuanqing have thought of this?

On the way to escape, Cheng Songan had already figured out the twists and turns of the matter. These people were all putting on an act.

Prince Xiang and his wife pretended to be stupid and foolish in front of Prince Jin in order to dispel Prince Jin's suspicion. No one would take a coward seriously as an opponent.

Prince Jin was also putting on an act. His injuries were not serious at all. He fled upstairs to lure Cui Yuanqing to assassinate him.

Cui Yuanqing was also pretending. With the skills he just showed, he would not give Prince Jin any chance to escape to the third floor!
