Chapter 392: Suspicious Assassin
ο»Ώ
After learning about the situation from Tian'er, Su Ruoxi entered the other courtyard.
Xuanyuan Mo is not here, just so she can be a little freer.
What's more, in a few days, she will enter the palace, and she doesn't need to say anything to Xuanyuan Mo.
Although Xuanyuan Mo was not there, after living in the courtyard for a while, Su Ruoxi still seemed very comfortable.
No one in the other courtyard dared to embarrass her, and even ate and drank well every day, as if she was the hostess here.
After lunch, Su Ruoxi was about to take a lunch break when Helian suddenly rushed in through the window with the wind, startling her.
Seeing that it was Helian Suifeng, Su Ruoxi asked suspiciously, "Why did you break in?" What's wrong? β
Under normal circumstances, Helian would lurk outside the courtyard with the wind, and he would not come to her without her notice.
Helian nodded with the wind and said, "Xuanyuan Mo is not here, and the people here can't help me." β
"It's a pity, do you know that last night, a big event happened in the capital?"
Seeing Helian Suifeng's serious face, Su Ruoxi asked suspiciously, "What's the big deal?" β
Although when she came back from the street today, she heard some people talking about something, but she didn't pay attention, so she didn't ask.
"Xuanyuan Guogong was assassinated last night!"
Su Ruoxi said 'oh' very indifferently, Grandpa Guo was assassinated, and it had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that Su Ruoxi didn't react, Helian continued with the wind: "Xuanyuan Guogong is the uncle of the current saint, and he controls the power of the entire court, and the people who dare to do anything to him are probably no one else except the current saint." β
As soon as she heard this, Su Ruoxi suddenly understood.
"What do you mean...... Is there going to be a coup d'Γ©tat in Cangyue Country? β
Helian nodded with the wind and said, "The Great Elder has instructed you to pay attention to the movements in the palace this time. β
"This Heavenly Star City, I'm afraid we don't have the need to stay, we should prepare to go to the Imperial City in advance!"
Su Ruoxi thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she agreed: "Okay! Early tomorrow morning, we will leave for the Imperial City! β
News from Mu Qingshan's side, she can wait.
But instead of waiting here, I went to the Imperial City and waited.
After a good night's rest in the courtyard, early the next morning, Su Ruoxi cleaned up and left Tianxing City.
She sent someone to send a letter to Mu Qingshan, saying that she had gone to the Imperial City, and after she settled in the Imperial City, she would tell him where she lived.
If news comes from the palace, send someone to inform her.
This time, she didn't take Tianyu with her, but left him in Feiyuntai, leaving Helian alone with the wind.
After all, she went to the palace this time, and it was inconvenient to bring too many people.
The two rode horses for more than two hours, and soon arrived at the imperial city of Cangyue Kingdom.
This was her first time in the imperial city of Cangyue Country, and as soon as she entered the city, she felt a lively and prosperous atmosphere rushing towards her.
However, I have been to many places, and I don't feel new about them.
Su Ruoxi did not go to enjoy the scenery of the imperial city, but found an inn with Helian to live in the wind.
When he arrived in the imperial city, there were more people talking about the assassination of Guogong, and there were different versions of the story.
Su Ruoxi ignored the comments of those people in the inn, and went straight to his room.
Helian lives next door to her with the wind, so it's easy to take care of it.
Su Ruoxi opened the window of the room, and under the window was a lively street.
She sat by the window and could see the street at a glance.
Just as she was standing by the window to breathe, she suddenly saw a serious figure walking quickly downstairs.
"The first moon? How did she end up here? β
She knew very well that the familiar figure was the first moon in a blue dress.
"Could it be that Xuanyuan Mo also came to the capital?"
Seeing the early moon, Su Ruoxi's first reaction was to think of Xuanyuan Mo.
Because since the early moon appeared, the first moon has been inseparable from Xuanyuan Mo.
Without thinking too much, Su Ruoxi jumped directly from the window, ready to follow Chu Yue to see what was going on.
She lived on the third floor of the inn, although it was not very high, but this jump frightened many people passing by.
Su Ruoxi ignored those surprised eyes, and through the crowd, she saw the corner of the early moon entering an alley.
So, she chased after it without hesitation.
When she chased to the alley, she didn't see the figure of the first moon.
But just as she wanted to leave, she was blocked by several men in black who suddenly appeared.
Seeing that the men in black were all holding knives in their hands, Su Ruoxi sank his eyes, waved the nine-section whip, and fought with those men in black.
Although she didn't know where these men in black came from, she could clearly feel that these men in black were not good.
It's just that these black-clothed people are all masters, and their origins are not simple.
Only a moment later, Su Ruoxi killed several people in black, and only one person remained.
She stepped on the man's heart and shouted coldly, "Say! Who sent you? β
The man in black did not show a trace of fear in his eyes, and gritted his teeth fiercely, and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Su Ruoxi saw that the man in black actually committed suicide by taking poison, and immediately frowned.
She had just arrived in the imperial city, and someone wanted to kill her, who was secretly doing ghosts?
At this time, Helian chased after the wind, saw the corpses all over the ground, and ran to Su Ruoxi's side worriedly.
"It's a pity, are you alright?"
Su Ruoxi shook her head and said, "Check to see if there is anything suspicious on these people." β
Helian nodded with the wind, and then quickly checked the body of each person in black, but found no clues.
"The murderers behind this scene did it very carefully, and they didn't leave any traces on them at all."
"Let's go back first!"
Su Ruoxi followed Helian out of the alley with the wind, but when she walked out of the alley, she glanced back.
Just now, she clearly saw the early moon, so she chased into this small alley.
Could it be that those killers just now have something to do with the first moon?
Su Ruoxi was full of doubts, she suddenly felt that this peaceful imperial city was also hiding murderous intentions.
After returning to the room, Su Ruoxi found pen and ink, drew a portrait of Chu Yue and threw it to Helian Suifeng, asking him to inquire about Chu Yue's identity.
She always felt that Chu Yue and Xuanyuan Mo were not as simple as they appeared.
All this last night, Su Ruoxi went to rest with confidence, waiting for Helian to bring her back with the news.
By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside.
And Helian followed the wind, but just rushed back.
"It's a pity, the person you're looking for, I've already found out her identity!"
As soon as Helian entered the door with the wind, he said happily to Su Ruoxi.
