Chapter 85: Lanyue Tower Assassination and Chaos

Now Song Shi was only thinking about how to get in touch with this Miss Jiang, and he didn't even notice the start of the event.

It was not until Zhao Yuyan came out to invite him that he came back to his senses. The Zhao girl felt something was strange but couldn't tell what was strange. She could only accompany Prince Song back to the private room first.

The Qiqiao Festival at Lanyue Tower is held on the inner stage.

Therefore, as soon as the gong was struck, the windows of the private rooms on the second and third floors were all opened, and the people sitting in the lobby on the first floor also cheered and applauded loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

The moment the inner window was opened, Song Shiye's first reaction was to look towards the private room where the Jiang family was. Unfortunately, he saw Jiang Huaishan's family, but the eldest lady Jiang, whom he had been thinking about, was missing. He frowned slightly.

Could it be that his actions were a little too obvious, so the Jiang family became concerned?
Seeing him standing motionless in front of the window, Princess Chun also felt that something was not quite right with him today. She smiled and called out to him, and Prince Song turned around.

"The Zhao family's girls are still here, why don't you ask them to come over and take a look?"

Prince Song took a look at the warning in his mother's eyes and the shy looks of the Zhao sisters, and then he realized that the purpose of his coming out today was the Zhao family. Therefore, even if he had other thoughts in his mind, he still had to pay attention to what he should pay attention to.

So he smiled as usual and invited the two sisters to come forward and watch together. Zhao Yuyan was charming and Zhao Yuwan was gentle. The two of them stood next to Prince Song, and they looked very good in harmony. Madam Zhao and Princess Chun were watching these three beautiful figures from behind and were also smiling happily.

The excitement at the party reached a climax with the magic show.

Jiang Shiyuan sat near the window, listening to the lively cheers from inside and drinking tea quietly.

There were also some people gathered on the street outside. They did not have the money to enter the Lan Yue Tower to watch the Qiqiao Festival, but it was the tradition of the Lan Yue Tower to scatter fruits and money after every banquet, so naturally there were those who would take advantage of the situation waiting.

Looking at the crowds of people outside, Jiang Shiyuan's mood gradually calmed down.

She originally didn't want to marry far away in Hanzhou, after all, it was too far away from her relatives. But after being tormented by Prince Song today, she knew that there would be endless troubles in the future. She didn't want to have anything to do with these people anymore, so she would rather go to Hanzhou to live in peace and quiet.

Thinking of this, after cousin Pei's stern face flashed through my mind, my mood became much calmer.

The event was so wonderful that even someone as knowledgeable as Old Lady Wang was very satisfied. Lady Pei, the Marquis, took the opportunity to add a sentence.

"I heard that the owner behind the Lanyue Tower is from Yizhou, but I don't know who he is. For so many years, no one has ever seen his owner, and we don't even know if he is a man or a woman."

"Oh? So mysterious?"

Old Madam Wang asked back, but she soon figured it out.

"If you can stand firm in Xijing City without the support of a royal family, I'm afraid it would be impossible. If he is really from Yizhou, I'm afraid Prince Yi is also involved."

When it comes to Prince Yi, others are fine, but Madam Pei has something to think about.

Although she didn't like to take care of the complicated affairs at home, she would occasionally hear some news related to Yizhou. Her husband and son were both dissatisfied with Yizhou. If this Lanyue Tower was really the territory of King Yi, it would be a good place to collect information.

This thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered that her youngest son Pei Zimiao was supposed to accompany her today, but the child said he was feeling unwell before leaving. How could he suddenly become unwell for no reason?

As soon as the thought came to my mind, I felt something was not right.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw those people who were performing magic tricks just now suddenly disappeared from the stage. The crowd watching the show started to make a noise, and the scene reached a climax.

Everyone was looking around, trying to see where they were going, but they didn't expect that the originally good stage suddenly exploded as something ignited, and the cannons sprayed everywhere. At the same time, the magicians who had just performed the tricks slashed their faces and started to chop people with knives. Among the people sitting downstairs watching the excitement, two of them were beheaded before they could react, and blood was splattered on everyone's faces. With a cry of "ah", the scene became chaotic.

Those who lived near the door escaped quickly, but the rich and powerful people on the second and third floors were in a dilemma because the stairs were blocked.

In order to see the stage of the event clearly, Jiang Shiyue stood at the front of the inner window.

So when those magic killers killed people just now, they hit her right in the eye, scaring her so much that she almost couldn't breathe. Her face turned pale as if she had lost her strength, and her body fell backwards. Fortunately, Jiang Shishu was quick to catch her, otherwise she would have fallen and gotten hurt.
"Fourth sister, are you okay?"

Jiang Shishu shouted anxiously, and Jiang Shiyue was like a madman at this moment, screaming non-stop. This made Jiang Shiyuan look over with horror. Jiang Huaishan quickly closed the inner window and shouted nervously.

"Murder! Quick! Hide!"

Although he didn't know why such a thing happened today, as soon as he saw the aggressive look of those people coming, he knew it must be premeditated. He also didn't know which family had offended them, and even his family had suffered this unexpected disaster!

Jiang Shiyuan kept searching his mind for the memories of his past life, but he had no recollection of any assassination attempt at Lanyue Tower.

She looked at the crowd dispersing outside, and thought that if they all really stayed in the private room, the bad guys would come upstairs to search them one by one before reinforcements arrived. Then they would be in real danger. Thinking of this, she immediately grabbed her father's arm and said.

"We can't stay here. If the assassins search the house, none of us will be able to escape!"

"What should I do?"

Everyone was trembling violently. Although Jiang Huaishan was calmer, he was just a civil servant after all. Seeing such a scene, he was naturally very scared and was at a loss for a moment.

Jiang Shiyuan didn't care about anything else. He pulled them to the window, pushed it hard and then said.

"Dad, jump down, our family is still alive!"

This is the second floor, not very high.

Even if they jumped, at most they would just sprain their ankles, but if they stayed, they might die without a name. Although Jiang Huaishan was shaking, he knew that his daughter was right. He then grabbed Aunt Yang and her hands, and then shouted to Jiang Shishu and Jiang Shiyue beside him.

"Jump!"

Then he closed his eyes, jumped, and jumped out of the window.

Although people fell down when they landed, no one cared whether they were injured or not in this situation. They quickly got up and fled the scene.

They were not the only family who jumped out of the window to escape. One after another, people in various private rooms also jumped out. They cried out in pain, but at least they managed to save their lives. The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Jiang Shiyue was already frightened, and this jump made her feel completely scared. She fainted immediately. Her family rushed to help her, while Jiang Shiyuan looked up at the location of Wenyuan Marquis Mansion on the third floor. The outer windows were already open, and everyone was shouting for help!

Mrs. Pei knew martial arts, so she would be fine if she jumped down, but there was her pregnant daughter-in-law, elderly mother-in-law and sister-in-law who didn't know martial arts at all next to her, so she couldn't just escape by herself.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw my niece Jiang Shiyuan standing below.

The weak body was currently moving a roadside stall. There was a large sunshade umbrella on the stall. If he jumped down at the right angle, there would be less chance of getting hurt.
