Ancient Assassin
King Guyong was old and frail, and he was born to be lustful, and had no children. Drinking and having fun with Mei Ji all day long, he doesn't want to make progress.
The ancient Yongguo relied on rich iron ore and salt ore resources. It is also located at the junction of Qin, Shu and Chu, so the inhabitants of such a small country are also rich.
But the threat of Qiang Qin and Qiang Chu also made him sullen all day long. Xiong Hu, the former crown prince of Chu State, returned to the Ye family manor of Guyong State under the escort of Li Yihan and Ye Bingqing, and he already knew about it.
He was uneasy. Xiong Kun and Yan Ji, the favorite concubine of the King of Chu, had already sent him a secret letter to get rid of Xiong Hu.
In the face of this, he did not dare to slack off. But thinking of his beauty and the relationship between Zhang Meiren and Ye Zhentian, he was a little hesitant.
It is inconvenient for him to directly send troops to get rid of Xiong Hu. Moreover, for him, the situation in Chu is not clear.
It is not yet known who killed the deer. Xiong Hu still has a strong influence among many old ministers of the Chu State. On this day, in the Ye family's manor, Ye Bingqing accompanied Mu Ling and Xiong Hu to practice riding and archery on the grass of the manor.
Suddenly, in the dense forest opposite, a sharp arrow swished towards Xiong Hu with the sound of the wind. Ye Bingqing hurriedly shouted, and Li Yihan jumped and threw Xiong Hu to the ground.
Arrows flew overhead with the sound of the wind. It's dangerous! The crowd was shocked. Then they searched the forest, but the man who shot the arrow was nowhere to be found.
Li Yihan said to Ye Bingqing:
"During Xiong Hu and Mu Ling's temporary stay in the Ye Family Manor, we must absolutely guarantee their personal safety. Otherwise, once there is a mistake, the people of Da Chu and those old ministers who support Xiong Hu will blame the Ye family. Ye Bingqing nodded.
The two gathered Gao Jun, the Orion couple, and the family together to arrange the security work for the night.
The night was like water, and there was silence in the Ye family's manor. Ye Bingqing was soaking in a warm bath in a vat of fragrant fir wood.
After the dried flowers have absorbed enough water in the water, they scatter one by one. It's been a long time since she's been so completely relaxed.
Since leaving the Ye family's manor and selling horses with her husband, so many unexpected experiences have happened now. She closed her eyes slightly, and let the water vapor rise in the room.
Li Yihan tiptoed in, picked her up, and said softly to her:
"We should support Mu Ling as soon as possible and they return to the Chu State. I have heard that the situation in Chu is very delicate now. Those old ministers who support Xiong Hu have been admonishing the King of Chu to restore Xiong Hu's position as the crown prince. And Yan Ji and her brother, as well as Xiong Kun and others, are also stepping up their seizure of power. Without further ado, we will escort Xiong Hu back to Chu tomorrow. Ye Bingqing nodded.
The two fell asleep cuddling together. While he was rejoicing, someone outside shouted:
"Catch the assassin!" It turned out that Gao Jun was fighting with a black scarf and a masked man. The family rushed up and surrounded it.
This masked man, holding a sharp sword, the light is shining, and the cold is overwhelming. He moved and jumped, and in a moment the family fell four or five.
Li Yihan and Ye Bingqing let out a loud shout, and rushed towards the masked man from the left and right sides at the same time. The three of them surrounded the assassin and fought together, and after a few rounds, Li Yihan knocked the assassin to the ground.
Just as he was about to pull off his scarf, the assassin slammed his sword at his throat. In a moment, Ye Bingqing slashed the long sword in his hand towards the assassin's sword-wielding hand.
Accompanied
"Oops!" There was a scream, and the assassin's sword fell to the ground. The family rushed up and tied him up. The interrogator knew that he was an assassin of Gu Yongguo, who was ordered to assassinate the bear and tiger.
