Chapter 189: Captured
"Are you alright?"
Between the lightning and flint, only Gao Heng let out a muffled snort, and Cheng Jinzhi immediately realized that at the moment when he flew to the rescue just now, he was attacked by Gu Chen who was unguarded behind his back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Her heart tightened, and she just wanted to check Gao Heng's injuries, but unexpectedly, Gu Chen was already angry, and slashed at the two of them with a sword again.
Due to the limited space in the house, Gao Heng did not carry any weapons on his body, so he would inevitably be at a disadvantage if he fought here.
In a hurry, he could only dodge one by one, grabbed Cheng Jinzhi's hand and jumped up, and flew out of the door in the air.
Outside, the night was thick, and only a few stars in the sky were left, flickering with faint light.
As soon as Gao Heng's front foot landed, Gu Chen's back foot followed, stabbing towards Gao Heng's sword with lightning speed, striking a strange move, making a ruthless move, and every sword used all his strength, wanting to kill people.
Now that he has lost Cheng Jinzhi, a favorable hostage, he has nothing in his hands that can be used to contain Gao Heng. At this moment, if he can't fight his way out of the bloody road by himself, he will inevitably be captured alive, imprisoned and punished, and reduced to a prisoner under the ranks, and there is no possibility of rewatching the sky.
Gao Heng's clothes flew up, and his figure was vertical and horizontal, but because he was attacked by Gu Chen before, the sword wound on his back was still bleeding out, and every time he moved his muscles and bones, it would involve the narrow wound, which caused severe pain.
Although it was cold winter at that time, and Gao Heng's clothes were also thick, because the range of movement was too large, he could clearly see that the blood stain slowly seeped out and began to spread around.
Fortunately, he was born and died on the battlefield many times, and he suffered a lot of injuries, large and small.
Especially when he rushed into the Western Jin Dynasty military camp alone to save Gu Hanqing, he fought alone, and he was desperate.
The threat of death at that time pales in comparison to the current situation.
"Someone, catch the assassin, come on!"
Cheng Jinzhi was worried about Gao Heng's injury, and he didn't care if there were patrols around, so he screamed hoarsely.
The sudden cry was scattered in the silence of the night, echoing in circles and circles, disturbing the sleeping birds perched on the eaves.
Originally, he took care of Chen's thoughts, since he couldn't use Cheng Jinzhi to threaten Gao Heng, if he could suppress Gao Heng himself at this moment, he would definitely be able to use him to leave the palace and retreat.
It's just that now that he is unarmed and has injuries on his body, but he can still be above himself, he knows that it is impossible, and it may be difficult to get out of the whole body if he continues to entangle, so he turned his heart and prepared to escape.
But unfortunately, just when he saw the opportunity to fly up and climb over the eaves, he was suddenly hit by a stone thrown by Gao Heng and hit his right foot, and his center of gravity was unstable for a while and he fell to the ground.
At the same time, Shen Jun had already led a large number of guards from the palace to carry lanterns from the corridors on both sides, and soon surrounded him.
The long sword in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, and when he saw countless sword blades shining with cold light stretching out towards him, Gu Chen knew that the general trend had gone, and he was powerless to resist.
This large area of lights came together and crossed in front of the eyes, illuminating the originally silent and dark backyard much brighter in an instant.
"My subordinates are late for help, please forgive your highness. ā
Shen Jun saw that Gu Chen had been subdued, so he knelt down and hugged his fist to Gao Heng to plead guilty.
Gao Heng waved his hand to signal Shen Jun to get up, Cheng Jinzhi supported him worriedly, looking at the piercing blood on his back, knowing that the wound was very deep, and his heart couldn't help but feel a faint pain.
If he hadn't been angry and had to mess around with Gao Heng, he wouldn't have introduced Gu Chen into the house and caused trouble, and Gao Heng wouldn't have been injured because of this.
"It's amazing that you can sneak into the palace without knowing it. Gao Heng endured the pain and walked in front of Gu Chen, his eyes gloomy and indifferent, "But no one has ever told you that those people who have bad intentions and try to sneak into my mansion have never returned?"
"Hmph, I really didn't expect that I would even avoid the fire in the prison of the Criminal Department, and it would be planted in your hands today. ā
Gu Chen smiled coldly, took a deep breath unwillingly, and suddenly glared at Cheng Jinzhi with resentful eyes, almost gritting his teeth.
"No, it should be planted in your hands. If I had killed you with a single knife without showing compassion, I wouldn't have ended up in such a situation now!"
"You will fall to this point today, you are to blame, and you have nothing to do with others!" Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but frown when he saw what Gu Chen said, and stepped forward to give him a white look, "It's really the first time I've seen someone kill someone and you are so arrogant." ā
Looking at Gu Chen with a gloomy expression in front of him, Cheng Jinzhi really didn't want to believe that he was Gu Hanqing's second uncle.
Because the uncle and nephew feel that they are not at all different from each other in terms of personality, temperament, and even their attitude towards the world.
"Don't worry, I won't touch a single hair of you, after all, there are still many things that need you to come forward in the future. Gao Heng said lightly, and then looked at Shen Jun beside him, "Temporarily take him to the treasury and send someone to guard him strictly." You immediately set off for the Spirit Slaughter Division to inform Cen Changsi of the news. Remember, everything must be done in secret, and don't let outsiders know that we have found Gu Chen. ā
As soon as Gu Chen heard Gao Heng's words, the anger on his face gradually dissipated, and the color of despair had not yet spread to his eyelashes, but it was covered with a heavy layer of worry.
The reason why Gao Heng didn't wait until tomorrow morning, but took advantage of the night to contact Cen Feng, was so that he could secretly send Gu Chen into the Spirit Slaughter Division under the cover of night.
It was not easy to capture the elusive Gu Chen, as the key figure in this big case, the prince's side was also eyeing him, if they knew that Gu Chen had been captured, they would definitely find ways to get in the way and kill Gu Chen.
"I'll help you in and rest. ā
Seeing that Gao Heng's face had changed slightly, his right hand subconsciously covered the wound behind his back, and his expression became a little solemn, as if he was trying his best to endure something.
Cheng Jinzhi suddenly realized the injury on Gao Heng's body, and complained in his heart that he had gone astray as soon as he was not careful, and hurriedly ordered the subordinates on the side: "Your Highness is injured, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!"
"No, it's just a skin wound, just bandage it. ā
Gao Heng said disapprerovingly, and after glancing at Gu Chen, who was suppressed and unable to move, he walked towards the house with the support of Cheng Jinzhi, his steps began to become weak and slow, and some beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.
Just as the two of them had just stepped up the steps, Gu Chen's sly and cold laughter came from behind them.
