Chapter Eighty-Three: Assassination

Lu Changfeng glanced at him coldly, and was about to leave, but he heard a person call from behind him: "Lord Wang, why are you here at this time?"

When he turned around, he saw that it was Qingxing, the personal maid beside Ge Qingqiu.

"Uh, passing by. That ......"

Qing Xing saw his stumbling appearance, and she was already coming to her senses, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's unfortunate that the prince came, Miss took Hua Ao to buy goods outside the city today, and she hasn't come back yet." ”

When Lu Changfeng heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, "You haven't come back so late?" Where did she go to buy the goods?"

The concern on his face was so obvious, Qing Xing saw this, and smiled more and more brightly, "Don't worry, the young lady went to Liuyuanwaizhuang outside the city." It's a far away place from us, and Miss has to go there for a long time every time she goes. Sometimes if it is late, she will rest in Liuyuanwai's house for a day and come back the next day, which is not a strange thing. ”

In this way, Lu Changfeng was relieved.

But the talent beside him frowned, "Sister Qingxing, you are talking about Liuyuan, but that is Liu Zhen?"

"yes. The little maid nodded.

Yingcai pulled his master aside and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, do you remember that when you asked your minions to check the largest artillery workshops near Shangjing, you also checked several merchants that produced sulfur saltpeter by the way. This willow member is one of them. ”

"The king remembers, but so what?"

"Just the day before yesterday, the slave heard that this Liu Yuanwai moved his family to Chengzhou, and he didn't do any business in Beijing? It stands to reason that three or five days have passed, and Miss Ge has no reason not to know the news......

Hearing this, King Rongjun's face also sank suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "And even if you don't know, you've been gone all day, and you should come back when you see no one! I haven't come back so late......"

In an instant, the three big words "something happened" lit up in Lu Changfeng's heart, "This king is out of the city now, you go back to the palace immediately, mobilize people and catch up later!"

After a pause, he added: "Send a few people to Lu Shangshu's Mansion to take a look, if there is any movement, don't startle the snake, come and report quickly!"

......

In the dark cave, Ge Qingqiu was holding a rough wooden Hancheng man in his arms, carefully hiding in a corner to observe the situation outside.

She felt like she had really made a mistake lately!

I was annoyed by Lu Wangye's group of suitors for several days, and finally sent most of them away, and found time to busy my own business.

Yes, just when Lu Changfeng was still in front of the Lin Family Artillery Workshop, hesitating whether to go in or not, Ge Qingqiu had already successfully escaped from Liujiazhuang because he saw through that Liu Yuanwai, who received him today, was an impostor.

Although the acting skills of this group of imposters are not up to par, they are very well prepared.

Rao is she brought more than 20 guards with her, and when she escaped, those guards were also killed and injured, leaving her alone to hide in a cave in the back mountain of Liujiazhuang.

Although Ge Qingqiu didn't know the origin of that group of people, after thinking about it carefully, he finally felt that this group of people should most likely be sent by Lord Lu's admirers.

As for whether it is Lu Qingyun or other women, it doesn't matter.

"Lu Changfeng, if the old lady goes back alive this time, you must look good!"

Time passed little by little, and Ge Qingqiu, who had been hiding for almost two hours, only felt that he was about to faint from hunger.

She was thinking that it was dark enough, and she might be able to go out and find something to eat, but she had just tried to go out, but she saw a fire suddenly light up outside.

She was shocked, and hurriedly hugged the wooden stick in her hand more firmly. Trembling, he turned around and walked deeper into the cave, but after taking two steps, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"Ahh

A scream sounded, and Ge Qingqiu struggled to raise the wooden stick in her hand, but before she could do anything, she heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears.

"Girl!"

The man called, and when she opened her eyes, what she saw was Lu Changfeng's clear eyes.

"It's me. ”

The man smiled at her and spat out two words faintly.

Tick, tick......

There was the sound of stagnant water dripping outside the cave, and after a few drops, Ge Qingqiu suddenly seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole person was like a deflated ball, which suddenly became loose.

She slapped the man hard, and said angrily: "Why are you! Do you want to scare me to death, so shoot someone?"

Lu Changfeng saw that although she was a little embarrassed, she was not injured anyway, and she was even in the mood of joking, so he was instantly relieved.

He was about to speak, but he heard someone outside shouting: "Search me carefully! That girl has no martial arts, she will definitely not be able to escape from this forest! If you don't find that girl today, you will all go back to see the eldest lady for me one by one!"

Lu Wangye's eyes changed, and he immediately lifted the woman up from the ground and walked towards the cave for a long time.

It wasn't until he was sure that most of the light outside couldn't shine in that Ge Qingqiu pushed him away and said angrily: "Are you going to strangle me, so hard?"

"You girl, why did you cross the river and tear down the bridge? Those killers outside are all coming for you, if this king doesn't stop you, you may have been discovered by them now, okay?"

Speaking of killers, Ge Qingqiu's anger is even more indisputable.

She snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Heh, it's a shame that the prince still knows that the group outside are killers? It's really a blessing to the prince, and now Qingqiu has become the girl with the highest price in Shangjing!"

When Lu Changfeng heard this, his expression changed, and he suddenly understood, and asked, "Do you know who is going to kill you?"

Ge Qingqiu showed him a hideous smile, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I might know?"

The woman's appearance was not very calm at first glance, Lu Wangye frowned and glanced at her, slowed down his tone, and persuaded: "Girl, don't be willful at this time, if you really know, you tell me, I can think of countermeasures." ”

Ge Qingqiu thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so he said sullenly, "I really don't know, but the fake Liu Yuanwai wanted to kill me before, who asked me to provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, so someone will not tolerate me." Coupled with those people who said the eldest lady just now, I thought about it, except for those girls in Beijing who pursued the prince, now, there shouldn't be anyone who hates me so much, right?"

In fact, when he heard the words "Miss" from someone outside, there was a name, and it fell into Lu Changfeng's mind for the first time.
