This assassin is a professional assassin at all, and he draws his weapon without saying a word when he comes in.

As soon as Gu Qing heard the voice of "Kuang Cang", he knew that the Tao was not good, and it was useless to pretend to be dead, this person came in to mend the knife!

He's simply assassinating with a mortal heart!

Gu Qing didn't know what kind of immortal their family had provoked, why everyone wanted to assassinate her! She's just a gentle and harmless old woman, okay? Kill her, her children and grandchildren are endless, one after another to take revenge, whoever assassinates who is unlucky!

At this time, it was no longer time to complain, as soon as Gu Qing heard the sound of pulling out her weapon, she picked up the corpse and rolled it suddenly, regardless of whether her old bones and legs would fall to her death if she fell under the car, so she rolled in the direction of the outside of the car.

The man didn't expect that the old lady was not dead, not only was she not dead, but she also rolled very neatly, although she waved the knife to chop, Gu Qing had already fallen under the car. The old lady Qiu she possessed was already sixty years old, and there was no way for anyone to get up and down in this carriage without a carriage bench, how high it was can be imagined, this fall, Gu Qing immediately felt as if her chest had been slammed with a heavy hammer, and the pain all over her body made her lose the strength to scream.

Gu Qing knew that she was not out of danger now, and the assassin still had crossbow arrows in her hand, but her ribs seemed to be broken, and her head was also dizzy for a while, and she only lasted for a while before fainting.

Before she lost consciousness, only one thought remained.

'I'...... I haven't looked for Zhang Xuan to collect the soul yet. ’

On the way from the suburban temple to the temple of She.

The Emperor's car came to a halt suddenly.

Someone in the temple came to report something, so the whole team stopped advancing. Li Mao, as a close minister of his entourage, knelt in front of the dragon chariot and said loudly:

"Under His Majesty, there were assassins outside the temple, Old Taijun Qiu was assassinated, Old Taijun Zhou was killed, please make a decision!"

When Li Mao heard the official's words, he was shocked and scattered, so he shouted loudly and jumped off the horse.

"What do you mean there are assassins, what's wrong with my mother?"

Chu Rui knew that Li Mao was a filial son, and he didn't blame him for speaking in front of him, and lowered his head to ask about the officials of Taichang Temple.

It turned out that the assassin was somehow mixed in with the car of Mrs. Zhou, the assassin hid in the carriage, and after shooting Mrs. Qiu with a crossbow arrow, he forced Mrs. Qiu to jump out of the car and was seriously injured, and now he is still in a coma, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead. Mrs. Zhou was hit by an arrow in the head, killed by an arrow, and was already dead.

The forbidden army rescued him in time, and did not let Qiu Lao Taijun continue to be poisoned, but the assassin committed suicide immediately after failing to kill, and the forbidden army did not get alive. In addition to this assassin, there were two low-level officials of Taichang Temple outside the temple, and the inner eunuch also reported the death of three eunuchs who were waiting.

These two petty officials of Taichang Temple and the eunuchs who served were responsible for taking care of Old Taijun Zhou and Old Taijun Qiu.

The assassins did not know whether they had bought off these officials and eunuchs, or whether they were in league with them, in short, two low-ranking officials were missing, and all three eunuchs committed suicide by poisoning.

"Missing? There are guards guarding the inner and outer circles, can they still be allowed to fly out? What about Chu Lian of Taichang Temple? Tell him to rush to the temple immediately and search out his two subordinates, but if he can't find it, he won't be too often Siqing! Chu Rui's face was pale, and his words were very polite.

When Li Mao heard Taichang Siqing, his heart suddenly woke up.

Chu Lian, the king of Xiangcheng, has a grudge against his family. Could the two missing Taichang Temple officials be instructed by him?

But what happened to those three eunuchs? King Xiangcheng has no way, but the palace can't reach out.

"Your Majesty, since there are assassins in the temple, please drive back to the palace and don't go any further." Li Mao bowed down and asked the emperor, "The minister asks to deal with the affairs of the temple, and I hope Your Majesty will agree." ”

Li Mao was anxious, and in the middle of his words, he burst into tears.

Chu Rui knew that he was anxious about his mother, and besides, who those assassins were coming for, he was also very strange in his heart, and he refused to risk his life, so he naturally agreed to Li Mao's request, allocated him a hundred Praetorian Guards to go to the suburban temple, and asked the two imperial doctors who accompanied the team to go to the temple with him.

The imperial doctor who accompanied the team was to prevent the emperor from having a headache and brain fever during the sacrifice, and now he has to go back to the palace to ask for a doctor.

Dali Temple Shaoqing's mother, Zhou Lao Taijun, also died at the hands of assassins, so Chu Rui ordered him to go to the temple with Li Mao. That Shaoqing first thought that he was ordered because the assassins over there needed him to investigate, but he didn't take a few steps to hear Li Mao explain the reason, and the whole person was like a lightning strike, and his eyes were red.

Hao Lu's sacrificial trip was suspended, and no one knew what kind of turmoil Lu Dao's assassination would cause.

If Mrs. Qiu dies, the Xinguo Mansion will have to keep filial piety for three years.

Jin Guogong and Zhang Ning, the two important ministers of the court, have already been worried, if Li Mao is also worried, the leaders of the three factions of the clan, Xungui, and neutral will all retire, and the court still doesn't know what the chaos will become.

Li Mao and the Dali Siqing didn't care about the hundred Praetorian Guards behind them, and ran towards the temple with their horses galloping.

The two imperial doctors knew that the situation was urgent, so in order not to cause trouble, they had to grit their teeth and beat their horses to follow.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple is already in his forties this year, his mother is older than Qiu Lao Taijun, originally in poor health can not enjoy a few years of happiness, but now he died, the grief and anger in his heart all turned into a heavy whip under the whip, the horse was in pain, several times almost threw this Shaoqing off the horse, the Huang Imperial Doctor was frightened, followed by and kept shouting to calm him down.

Li Mao and them drove straight to the temple of Shemiao, and the area around the temple is now allowed to enter but not leave. The officials of Taichang Temple who did not know this purple and gold-rimmed official robe immediately came to greet them.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple has already thrown down the horsewhip and rushed directly into the suburban temple.

Li Mao was taken by the official and went to his mother's side first. Before he took a few steps, the cry of Shaoqing of Dali Temple had already reached his ears, causing him to feel a sour nose.

The pain of bereavement is like scraping bones and piercing the throat, which makes people feel painful.

On the ground next to the suburban temple, his mother was lying there. Fang Clan knelt on the ground with a pale face, his face was full of tears, and when he saw him coming, Fang Clan hid his face in shame and wept.

She followed her mother-in-law for what she didn't ask for! If she stays, there will be more than one person to stop this assassin!

Among the wives of all the families, only the wife of Imperial Physician Hu knows a little bit of medical skills, and after she finished her pulse, she said that she couldn't move it now, and she had to wait for the Imperial Doctor to come to see her, so everyone could only wait for the Imperial Doctor to come, and the Fang family was even more burned, but there was no way at all, so she could only watch the old lady lying here unconscious.

"There are two imperial doctors!" Li Mao shook it to the end, "Please save your mother." ”

"Li Guogong is polite, this is our duty." Imperial Doctor Huang didn't say much, and took Imperial Doctor Zhu and the two began to examine Old Taijun Qiu. Imperial Doctor Huang checked Old Taijun Qiu's pulse, and Imperial Doctor Zhu checked the wounds on Old Taijun Qiu's head and body, and the two just looked at it for a while, and then showed a bitter face.

"This ......" Imperial Doctor Huang hesitated for a long time, and then said vaguely, "The pulse is not very good." ”

"The ribs are broken, and there seems to be internal injuries." Imperial Doctor Zhu's words were even more concise and to the point. "Li Guogong, Ling Tang is old, this internal injury can be big or small, if it is ......"

He didn't finish his words, because Li Mao's face was about to turn as white as a piece of paper.

Fang's didn't eat any porridge water in the morning, and after standing for a long time, he saw his mother-in-law assassinated, and he was shocked and frightened and guarded Qiu Lao Taijun and others to save him, and now when he waited for such a result, he seemed to have a string broken in his head all of a sudden, and he rolled his eyes directly and pouted backwards.

Li Mao reached out to pick it up, so he could only help his fainting wife up from the ground. Now he is holding his wife in his arms, and his mother is lying on his knees, he is a man in his thirties, and he looks thin and pitiful.

There are even some women who want to step forward to appease.

"If I know who is the killer of Lu Dao, I believe that the Guogong Mansion will never die with him!"

Li Mao's gritted teeth rattled, and the women around him who wanted to appease or take a look at the Fang Clan's situation saw his demeanor and retreated a few steps in horror.

This man who everyone says is an honest man, how can he be so terrible!

Chu Lian, the king of Xiangcheng, who was scolded by the emperor like a grandson, was also very surprised.

Mrs. Qiu didn't die???

I know that the rest of the guys in King Qiyang are useless! Those people in the Yin Dynasty are too, they are talking about the sky, but as a result, they have been planning for more than a month, and he has provided all kinds of conveniences, and it is not that he has not been able to kill people!

Chu Lian, the king of Xiangcheng, was summoned to Beijing by Emperor Chu Rui, originally to see that he had been loyal and low-key for many years, ready to be reused, and play a balancing role in the court. After all, Li Mao had not yet gained a firm foothold at that time, and the Xungui faction was so pressed by the clan that he couldn't raise his head, if there was a clan to help, Chu Rui would be able to add another door to help.

It's just that Chu Lian's eldest son was too arrogant, which caused public anger, so Chu Rui couldn't use this imperial uncle with confidence, so he let him be the idle errand of Taichang Siqing, in charge of the temple sacrifices, the weddings and funerals of the clan ministers, and other affairs, which can be regarded as having nothing to do with the center of power.

Then Chu Lian's eldest son provoked because of his feud with Li Rui, and was forced to death by the eldest prince, he thought that he couldn't move the eldest prince, and the culprit Li Rui could also use it to pay for his son's life, but the clan faction not only did not force the emperor to convict Li Rui, but instead took him out of prison without doing anything, but the Xinguo Mansion fined some silver, which directly ignited the anger that Chu Lian had been suppressing.

Chu Lian and Chu Yingyuan are actually the same people in essence. It's just that Chu Lian has strong self-control and has covered up his cold and cruel heart. He was injured one after another, his parents and children died tragically, and the emperor had such an attitude, the eldest prince was at large, and all the hatred added together, so that Chu Lian fell directly to the side of King Qiyang.

The King of Qiyang was suppressed a few years ago, but the descendants of the family escaped and escaped under the protection of the soldiers under the King of Qiyang. Since then, they have been hiding, turning light into darkness, quietly accumulating the power of revenge.

King Qiyang and Chu Lian are also cousins, and his descendants have also quietly come to him.

Chu Lian didn't have too many concepts of right and wrong in his heart, he just wanted to live his life with his head down, so he naturally rejected their request to do it together, in order to worry that these people would retaliate against him, and they were too poor in Guizhou, he kept selling them weapons to earn some silver taels, and he also turned a blind eye to some of their small actions in his fiefdom, even if both sides were not biased.

After the king of Qiyang, he had already had no hope for this uncle, but when he took the initiative to show goodwill, he was simply overjoyed, and he was about to go crazy with surprise.

These people are bent on taking revenge on the Xinguo Mansion, and Chu Lian hit it off, plus the descendants of the Yin Dynasty have been in contact with the King of Qiyang for a long time, and the two parties have long been allies.

Originally, they wanted to assassinate the emperor, but Chu Rui has been very careful about this kind of thing since the first emperor was assassinated, and he often brought thousands of people with him when he went out, and there were countless masters around him, so he couldn't even think about it if he could assassinate him at close range.

So they put their minds on Li Mao and Old Taijun Qiu.

As for the Fang Clan? When she dies, Li Mao doesn't need to worry about it, and it's useless to die, but it can make Li Mao marry a good family again, adding countless help. They were stupid to set the Fang clan as a target.

These forces all have enmity with the Xinguo Mansion, and the seventeen members of the Qiyang Wang's family are equivalent to indirectly dying in the hands of Li Shuo, and Chu Lian thinks that if Chu Yingyuan hadn't met Qiu Lao Taijun at the Lantern Festival to "bully people", this matter would not have made a big fuss, and it would not have evolved into what it was later.

The remnants of the Yin Dynasty simply wanted Da Chu to be more chaotic and the Xinguo Mansion to be more chaotic, so that they could make profits from it. It's best to believe that everyone in the Gonggong Mansion is dead, so they can put Li Rui on the throne and make a fuss about his identity to pinch him.

So Chu Lian secretly planned for a long time and made countless foreshadowings, he was in charge of the specific matters of the sacrifice, and there were countless conveniences for arranging the itinerary and officials. Since he came to the throne two years ago, many people in Taichang Temple have gradually been replaced by his henchmen and retainers, and there are many manpower available.

Taichang Temple is different from other government offices, many low-level officials are idle family nephews who come in to mix up with the official position and look good, and then mix the food, and the officials are also loose, and there are people who recommend it all the year round, and they are quickly approved, but they can't get to the top.

Last year, the calamities continued, the hail disaster ended the snow disaster, the snow disaster ended the flood, it stands to reason that this year's spring festival should be held in a big way, and he let the people on both sides keep spreading bad remarks outside, and the emperor had to pay attention to the invitation of Taichang Temple and carry out the big sacrifice in February.

The sacrifice of the land is a pro-peasant move, and the queen personally holds the rice and orders the woman to follow suit, which is an opportunity.

Even many proposals to take care of the wives were prepared for this assassination.

There are many dead soldiers and spies of the Yin Dynasty in the Shaoqing family of Dali Temple who have not been caught, they have done tricks and feet in Zhou Lao Taijun's car, a thin assassin is hidden under the seat of the car, Zhou Lao Taijun's coachman is also their person, and the Taichang Temple officials of Chu Lian's confidant deliberately let her carriage and Qiu Lao Taijun's lean together and wait.

In order to try not to attract attention, they also prepared poison and other assassins, if there is a ring of Qiu Lao Taijun who is recruited, there is no need to use the dark people of Zhou Lao Taijun's family. This is interlocking, and it is almost impossible to find anything wrong, and the moves are a fatal game.

But Chu Lian and these people didn't understand why Old Taijun Qiu didn't die on the spot like Old Taijun Zhou, even though it was a flawless plan.

What the hell went wrong?!

Now that several of the dead have committed suicide by poisoning, this will always remain a mystery.

Nowadays.

A pediatric hospital in the city of N.

Gu Qing slept in a daze, and felt that someone seemed to be calling her in her ear.

"Gu Qing? Gu Qing? The little patient in the second bed said that she was not feeling well, and asked her where she was uncomfortable and couldn't say, you go and see. ”

The voice of her colleague Liao Fang came faintly, making her unable to sleep peacefully.

'I've been on three night shifts in a row, and I can only sleep three or four hours during the day. It's so treacherous, I won't wake up! ’

Gu Qing actually heard some clues, but she was angry in her heart and was willing to continue dreaming.

This Liao Fang, every time she said that she couldn't do it and was inexperienced, and then she had to wake her up when she was on duty at night, and secretly closed the door of the duty room to sleep.

Such an unruly colleague, the dean actually let her into the hospital, and never said anything about her, how hard is her family relationship?

That dream just now was so long, what, what is the dream?

She seems to have turned into an old lady?

How old are you? Fifty-eight or sixty-eight?

Did she have this dream?

"Gu Qing! Gu Qing! Gu Qing, what's wrong with you? Gu Qing, don't scare me! Liao Fang pushed Gu Qing many times, but she didn't wake up, and she panicked all of a sudden.

Don't die of overwork, right? I've heard that many people died suddenly while working overtime!

I knew that she wouldn't be lazy and slippery every day!

Liao Fang was shocked and frightened, and couldn't help but scream.

"Someone! Gu Qing has an accident! Call Dr. Wang from the Department of Cardiology! ”

As soon as Gu Qing heard Liao Fang's sharp voice, his heart twitched, and he seemed to be unable to breathe.

What are you yelling about, she's not dead yet!

She's just rolling out of the carriage.

Hey?

Carriage?

At the moment when she remembered the past, a colorful scene suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing's eyes, and after a while, she heard someone calling her grandmother one after another, her voice was hoarse, and she was crying blood, and her heart was like a knife, and her grief was like a tide, and she woke up suddenly.

"Rui'er, don't cry."
