The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 936

Chapter 936: 427 Rescuing (Two Updates)_2

Considering her husband’s unlucky constitution, the likelihood of his blood stopping was slim, but the chances of being mistakenly captured were high.

Gu Jiao’s guess wasn’t wrong; Xiao Liulang indeed had the misfortune of being captured.

He had already shaken off those assassins and went to rent a horse carriage. It had been quite a while since Xiao Liulang had visited that old street, so his memory wasn’t clear, and he ended up asking the driver of a carriage for directions.

The carriage he asked just happened to belong to the assassins.

What they say about finding something effortlessly after searching for it hard, that was exactly the case.

The assassin, bewildered, lifted the carriage window.

This damn thing also works?!!!

And just like that, Xiao Liulang was unfortunately and pathetically captured by the assassins.

There were four assassins in total, two driving the carriage outside and two inside keeping an eye on Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang was tied up tightly, his eyes covered, but they didn’t stuff his mouth with a cloth because if it was too thin, he could spit it out, and if it was too thick, they were afraid it might suffocate him to death.

"Isn’t there still the nose to breathe through?" asked Assassin B. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Assassin A glared at him and said, "What if the nose gets blocked? Have you forgotten how that guy died last time?"

Assassin B recalled a hostage they had captured, whose mouth was sealed and nose wasn’t breathing, who ended up dead halfway through the journey.

Assassin B fell silent.

The tip of Assassin A’s knife traced Xiao Liulang’s handsome face as he threatened, "Don’t make a sound, hear me? If you scream even once, I’ll cut off your tongue!"

Xiao Liulang leaned against the carriage wall, ignoring him.

Although he couldn’t see or move, by listening to the sounds on both sides of the streets and smelling the fragrances drifting out of the shops, he could roughly deduce they were on Luoyang Street heading towards the East City Gate.

Were they planning to take him out of the city?

Xiao Liulang’s guess was soon confirmed.

He heard an unusual clattering of horseshoes, the sound of horseshoes striking the Official Road near the city gate.

Just as it was almost their turn, suddenly a troop of iron riders charged over, judging by the sound of their horseshoes and armor friction, they seemed to be the Imperial Guards from the Imperial Palace.

The leader of the Imperial Guards commanded, "All those leaving the city must undergo strict inspection!"

"Big brother, why the sudden inspection?" Assassin B asked in panic, "We haven’t been exposed, have we? It can’t be that fast!"
