Chapter 151 Concern is chaos
Recently, autumn has been getting stronger.
The rumors in the imperial city of Yunling are also full of wind and rain with the autumn breeze. Whether Gu Ting and the current celebrity Lord Minsa around the lord really had an adulterous affair when Minsa was still the concubine of the lord was happy to pass on to many visitors.
Although Minsa didn't care, because she didn't feel anything wrong with it in her heart, this rumor came out of thin air, and it would be blown away as the autumn wind became stronger.
But because of this, Gu Ting has kept a distance from Minsa in recent days, and he hasn't appeared with her for a long time.
Gu Ting is no better than Mingsa, he knows that his care for Mingsa is beyond friendship, so he can't be open when he has this hidden mind in his heart.
Lord Wanfu didn't care about these rumors either. What is Mingsa's personality and what kind of person Gu Ting is He knows very well, since the first time he had dinner with the Lingsa Master and Mingsa, the Lord of Wanfu has come to the Lingshi's temple many times, as if it has become a habit, when it is time for dinner, Minsa has to ask the Lord if he is coming, whether he needs to wait.
However, the rumor-monger does not seem to have the same simple purpose as Minsa imagined, just idle and want to pass the time for a short time, and there are more plans in between.
Honest people always make judgments with integrity and kindness, and this makes them less wary of villains. As a result, they are often unprepared when danger strikes and need to use their wits to deal with them by surprise......
That evening, the Lord came to the temple of the Soul Master and Minza, and they were not very happy to eat and talk, but they did not know what was happening outside the temple.
……
Gu Ting had sent someone to investigate the whereabouts of the sneaky man outside the temple a few days earlier, but there had been no definite reply. The latest report also said that the man's martial arts skills were very high, and every time he noticed it, he escaped smoothly and couldn't be chased.
But today, Gu Ting happened to have something to do to go out of the palace, and suddenly a guard ran in from outside the mansion, and said with a panicked expression: "Report to the court, the county lord of Minsa is being chased and killed by assassins in the palace, please go to the rescue quickly!" ”
As soon as Gu Ting heard it, he knew that the big thing was not good!
All that came to his mind was the situation when Minsa was in Yanzhou and almost died under the assassin's sword, so Gu Ting hurriedly took the long sword and shouted: "The guards come with me!" ”
The guards of the Jihou Mansion listened to the order, and hurriedly finished their gear and followed Gu Ting on their horses, galloping towards the hall where the Soul Master and Minsa were stationed.
The Venerable Lord, the Soul Master, and Minsa were chatting happily, when they suddenly heard the sound of hurried marching horses' hooves outside the hall, and the three of them were startled. If there is no urgent military situation in this imperial city, how can there be the sound of marching in the evening?
And just when they looked vigilant and didn't have time to go out to find out what was going on, they saw that Gu Ting had already led a group of guards, waving a bright sword and rushing into the hall.
The first reaction of Minsa and the Soul Master was not whether Gu Ting was crazy or if he really wanted to kill the monarch and rebel, this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that the Lord of Wanfu could not be fine, so they had already blocked in front of the Lord for the first time, staring at Gu Ting who was leading people to rush in.
At this time, Gu Ting had also seen the situation in the palace clearly, where were the assassins? Where are the assassinations? Minsa stood there well......
"Stop!" The Lord shouted.
In response to the shouting order of the Lord, the swords of all the guards fell to the ground one after another, making a miserable impact sound, Gu Ting also looked at Minsa with a stunned face, and then looked at the Lord, and knew that he had fallen into the trap of thieves.
Now that I think about it, the guard who ran in from outside the palace gate just now said: "The Lord of Minsa is being chased by assassins in the palace, please go to the rescue immediately!" "In a word, there are quite loopholes, the Jihou Mansion and the residence of the Soul Master are far apart, how can they let themselves go to the rescue?
It really shouldn't be, it's messy to care so much, and now it's causing even more trouble for himself and Minsa.
Gu Ting put down the sword in his hand and knelt down in the hall, his heart gloomy.
"What are you doing here?"
The Venerable Lord had already walked out from behind the protection of the Soul Master and Minsa, approached Gu Ting and asked, his words full of anger.
"Your Majesty... Minister......"
Gu Ting was stunned, but he didn't know how to say it. It's been a long time, it seems like it's been a long time, and it's never been so embarrassing.
"In the imperial city, the sergeants privately led the official residence, and the swords faced each other in front of the lord, Gu Ting, do you know what kind of crime this is?!" Hearing Gu Ting's hesitant words, the spirit master behind him also stepped forward and reprimanded him sharply.
Minsa had never seen a spirit master like this, and he had never heard his tone so heavy, but since he said so, Gu Ting was really guilty.
Gu Ting knew that he was powerless to defend himself, and he should have said the reason immediately, but he was afraid of hurting Minsa's reputation, especially at this moment on the cusp, so he didn't say anything for a while, wanting to find another excuse.
But after thinking about it, I found that there was no other reason, in front of the lord, the spirit master was at present, and he had to tell the truth, which might be a good choice for Minsa and himself.
"Your Majesty heard the report that Minsa was assassinated by the Assassins, and the Minister didn't have time to think about it, so he ......."
"Who's going to report it? Who assassinated? The Lord continued to ask.
Gu Ting knew that he was wrong, but he still completely told the story of how he noticed that there were sneaky people outside the Mingsa Hall these days, and ordered the attendants to track them down.
But Gu Ting knew in his heart that the guard who ran in in a panic today to report was a fresh face, why did he hurriedly believe that Minsa was really assassinated, first, because there were sneaky people outside the Mingsa Hall recently; second, because he had seen Minsa being chased and killed by Qingcheng assassins, and suspected that it was Qingcheng's fake spirit bead that was causing trouble; The third is that because he cares about chaos, he doesn't want to check one or two of the guards who are born at all, so he hurries to save people.
Gu Ting knew it, of course the Venerable Lord and the Soul Master were already clear, and Minsa, she also knew Gu Ting's care for her at this moment, which seemed to be a little out of line, and it was different from how she felt about him. And at this moment, he knelt in front of the lord in embarrassment, with a look of remorse.
"As a waiter, so reckless, what kind of system!" Lord Wanfu frowned angrily and reprimanded Gu Ting.
If he has always been objective and calm in the overall situation, and he can be like this, for the sake of his face and safety, he will privately lead the army and march at night, then how many hot-blooded men are there in the entire Imperial City, all like this, where is the majesty of the Imperial City!
"If this matter spreads, it will become a joke in the Imperial City! You are waiting in a dignified manner, how can you be embarrassed! The Lord continued to exasperate.
Gu Ting's head lowered a little deeper, he tried not to let the Lord and Mingsa see his expression, he felt that since he was born, he didn't seem to be so ashamed, he has always been the best among his peers, and he has always been steady in his work, this is the first time that he has been wrong from beginning to end, and he is very naïve.
