Chapter Forty-Three: The Moth Fights the Fire Without Complaining
The west gate of the east city is overgrown with grass and trees, and there are few people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Gu Wanyan also rode a horse side by side with Gu Mo, and when she arrived at the city gate, Gu Mo pulled the reins of the horse and stopped, then looked at the half-open city gate and turned her head to Gu Wanyan and said lightly: "Let's stop here, there are no people here anymore, and it is even more unsafe to go further." ”
Gu Wanyan didn't refute and nodded quietly.
Then Gu Mo half-turned his head to the person behind him: "Da Ming, you will send the second wife back to the house in a while, and then come to chase us." ”
Liao Daming was busy.
Gu Wanyan smiled bitterly while brushing the broken hair on her forehead: "Actually, I don't need to, I can do it myself." ”
Gu Mo didn't think so, he frowned slightly worriedly, lowered his voice and said, "Now Chu Lanyi doesn't know if there will be any new calculations, even if you stay in the mansion, you will be in danger, can you do it yourself?"
The deep concern and deep worry in her words were obvious, Gu Wanyan was a little stunned when she heard this, and then a warm smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Facing her bright smile, Gu Mo suddenly had an urge to touch her face with his fingertips, and a pair of eyes looked straight into her eyes without hesitation.
However, it was Gu Wanyan who opened his mouth to break the ambiguous silence at this moment: "Don't worry about me, you guys should get on the road quickly." ”
Gu Mo didn't say much, but jumped off the horse, then raised his head slightly and said to Gu Wanyan, "Come down." ”
Gu Wanyan felt strange, but she still listened to Gu Mo's words and jumped off the horse.
Gu Mo took out something, held it tightly in his hand, and then took two steps closer to Gu Wanyan, and said solemnly: "The reason why I went to Luoshui this time is because the manager of the Luoshui store secretly took a fortune and some jewelry and escaped, on the one hand, I have to deal with this matter, and on the other hand, I have to find a new store manager, these things have always been in my care, and the stakes are very high, so ...... I had to take a break for a while. ”
After listening to this, Gu Wanyan said: "I know, it really doesn't matter, you can handle the matter over there." ”
Gu Mo nodded, then took out a small brocade bag and handed it to Gu Wanyan.
Gu Wanyan took it hesitantly and asked, "What is this?"
Gu Mo said lightly: "It's a token given to me by King Zun, if someone makes trouble for you when I'm not there, take this thing to the palace to find King Zun." ”
Gu Wanyan immediately raised her head, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly stuffed the brocade bag back to Gu Mo: "No, no, no, you put this thing away yourself, I can't hold it." ”
Gu Mo pursed his lips helplessly, his eyes swept away, and then said coldly: "Who said that I was going to give it to you, you take it first, and I will return it to me when I come back." ”
Gu Wanyan froze for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Laugh at what a laugh. ”
Gu Wanyan shook her head with a smile, and changed her words: "Let's go." ”
Gu Mo looked at her and nodded slightly.
However, just as Gu Mo was about to step on the horse, a figure suddenly appeared in a dense forest in the southeast of him, and that person was still holding a long knife in his hand!
That figure moved towards Gu Mo at a speed that ordinary people would never reach!
This speed was too fast, Gu Mo and Gu Wanyan had just seen the person who was almost speeding over, and before they could react to what was going on for a while, the person who was clearly coming for Gu Mo was already almost under their noses!
At that time, Gu Wanyan's sight seemed to be only the terrifying long knife, her eyes were pierced by the silver light refracted by the sharp long knife, and then her brain suddenly went blank - in the next moment, she didn't even think about it, and the whole person subconsciously turned over and stepped forward to block Gu Mo's body!
"Ahh
The long knife in the attacker's hand stabbed straight into Gu Wanyan's chest, and the intense pain made her unable to hold back her screams.
"Gu Wanyan!" From the time she stood in front of him to the blink of an eye when the long knife stabbed her, Gu Mo didn't have time to react and push Gu Wanyan away.
I saw that Gu Mo's face turned white in an instant, and his eyes were full of panic.
The sword-wielding man himself realized that he had injured the wrong person, and immediately drew his sword again, and took several steps back, stopping ten meters away from them.
"Second wife!"
"There are assassins!"
"Protect the second young master!"
Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene, and they all pulled out the swords in their hands and surrounded Gu Mo and Gu Wanyan.
It all happened so quickly. Gu Mo watched Gu Wanyan block such a ruthless fatal knife for himself but could not do anything, and all his emotions were instantly aroused.
He hugged Gu Wanyan, who was still in a cold sweat in his arms, with one hand, and then looked at the attacker with a gloomy face, his eyes seemed to be about to kill - it turned out to be Chu Lanyi!
Gu Mo clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, eager to go up and tear him to pieces immediately.
Chu Lanyi looked apologetic, crossed his arms and watched coldly: "I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to kill you." ”
"-Chu Lanyi!" Gu Mo said fiercely, "If something happens to her, you don't want to leave Dongcheng alive!"
Chu Lanyi stroked the corners of her eyes, and said indifferently: "If she doesn't have an accident, won't your second son send me to prison and put me to death? ”
Only then did Gu Mo think that Chu Lanyi must have come to Gu Mo for revenge for Gu Mo and the imperial court to design the arrest of himself. But...... How did you become Gu Wanyan who was hurt?!
Gu Mo was distressed and anxiously looked down at Gu Wanyan, who had already fainted in pain, and then looked at the bleeding wound on her chest - this wound was not shallow!
He really wished that this knife was taken by himself, and his brows suddenly frowned.
Gu Mo glared at Chu Lanyi fiercely with hatred and disgust: "I don't have time to tell you more today, Chu Lanyi, you remember it for me, if you hurt her, I will definitely get it back from you!"
When Chu Lanyi heard this, his expression also became cold, and he became gloomy: "You hurt me first, is it wrong for me to fight back?"
Gu Mo stared at Chu Lanyi, and said with a straight face: "Chu Lanyi, don't forget, you are a court felon, a wanted criminal." Every citizen of Loulan has the obligation to assist the imperial court in apprehending you!"
After that, Gu Mo no longer talked nonsense with Chu Lanyi, but asked Liao Daming to come over to assist him in helping Gu Wanyan onto the horse, and then got on the horse himself, protecting Gu Wanyan in his arms - now, the most important thing is to send Gu Wanyan to Yunjitang, and there can be no delay for a moment!
Chu Lanyi took a deep look at Gu Wanyan, who was pale and unconscious, and seemed to have no intention of continuing to attack. He snorted coldly, and disappeared into the woods with light skills.
====================
Gu Mo rode his horse all the way to Yunjitang alone, and then jumped off the horse with Gu Wanyan in his arms, and rushed in in a hurry.
"Xu Dong!" Gu Mo shouted Xu Dong's name as he walked inside, causing the people in Yunji Hall to look sideways, and layers of sweat had oozed from his forehead.
But it was not Xu Dong who came out, but Zhu Qi and Doctor Zhu.
Zhu Qi walked towards Gu Mo and asked suspiciously, "The second son is in such a hurry, what's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Qi saw Gu Wanyan who was bleeding profusely in his chest, his face also changed, and he said in horror: "Second wife, what's wrong?!"
Gu Mo hugged Gu Wanyan tighter: "Don't say much, let's save people first." ”
Zhu Qi nodded approvingly, pointed in a direction, and said solemnly, "Please come here." ”
Gu Wanyan was rested on a couch, and after a while, some other doctors came over with some medicine and hemostatic cloths. Looking at Gu Wanyan's situation, everyone couldn't help but frown heavily.
Gu Mo, who was originally standing on the edge of the bed, consciously moved to the side - to make room for the doctor so as not to hinder their diagnosis and treatment.
He looked at it for a long time and asked, "What about the master of Xu Dongtang?"
Zhu Qi looked back at him: "The hall master has gone out for something recently, and he is not in Dongcheng." ”
After speaking, he drew his gaze back to Gu Wanyan.
Gu Mo's two fists clenched tightly, and for the first time in his life, a strong sense of fear hovered in his heart.
He had to admit that at this moment, at this moment when Gu Wanyan was seriously injured and unconscious, he was afraid of losing her. Gu Mo stood silently against the wall uneasily, and couldn't help but complain about her in distress and anger in his heart. Gu Wanyan, didn't you say that you were extremely eager to live well? Didn't you say that you didn't want to die? Didn't you ...... Don't love me?
==============
In the study of the Gu Mansion, the old man's face was solemn, and in the solemnity was the anger that could not be dissipated.
Gu Ran hung his head in embarrassment and curled up in front of the master, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
The master's breathing became heavier and heavier, and he became more and more rapid, and then he finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and threw the stacks of account books in his hand on Gu Ran's face mercilessly.
"Say! What's going on! Why can't the accounts of the 1,000 taels of silver in this month be correct? You should explain it to me today!"
Gu Ran raised his head and made a bitter face: "Daddy......"
The more the old man spoke, the more angry he became, waving another account book in his hand and scolding loudly: "I thought that the family's business could be safely and boldly handed over to you to take care of, but I didn't expect that when I checked the accounts by chance, it turned out to be ...... Gu Ran! You're the boss! You don't set an example, forget it, you still make a mess of things, you say! What's going on!"
Gu Ran felt depressed and aggrieved, he cried and said, "Dad...... I really don't know..... You give me a little time, I'm ...... I'll definitely figure it out!"
The old man slammed the account book in his hand on the table and snorted coldly.
At this time, the door of the study was pushed open, and I saw Steward Fang walking in quickly with an anxious face: "Master...... Big things are wrong!"
The old man stabilized his emotions and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"
Steward Fang looked at Gu Ran, then at the master, sighed, and hurriedly reported: "The second wife was seriously injured by the assassin, and the second son's Luo Shui didn't go to it!"
The old man's face changed when he heard this, and he stood up: "What?"
