Chapter 440: Assassination

Let everyone know that she went to pray for Gu Zhixing, and let those remarks spread more fiercely, maybe this will make Liu Ce rein in.

After all, everyone said that Gu Zhixing was dangerous to go to the south, so in this case, would Liu Ce still dare to act openly?

I don't know if this is useful, anyway, this is the only thing Su Mian can do now.

Jing'an Temple is full of incense as usual, Qiushuang got off the car and helped Su Mian down, Su Mian got off the carriage with her skirt, the cold wind in winter whistled in, and she shivered with cold, and Qiushuang quickly put on a snow-white cloak for her.

The white steps towered up, Su Mian took a deep breath, slowly spit out the depressed dullness in his heart, and slowly stepped up the steps.

Jing'an Temple has a hall dedicated to the royal family to pray for incense, the main hall pilgrims are crowded, for the sake of safety, when someone in the royal family comes, they are directly behind the main hall.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Su Mian took off the heavy obstructive cloak on his body, put it in Qiushuang's arms, and whispered: "You wait for me outside the hall." ”

Qiushuang was a little uneasy, and said softly: "Niangniang, otherwise I'll go in with you, just Qingyang is outside." ”

"No need." Su Mian shook his head, he crossed the threshold and was led slowly by the little master inside to the futon.

Su Mian raised his eyes and looked at the solemn statue above, and his restless heart strangely slowly calmed down.

Originally, he came with a purpose, but after really kneeling down, Su Mian's heart was extremely calm, and she was a little more sincere.

She took the incense handed over by the little master, closed her eyes and silently recited the words of blessing a few times, got up and put the incense on the desktop in front of the desk with her own hands.

Su Mian, who was silent and sincere, did not notice that there was something wrong with the people around him.

"Princess, be careful!" Until there was a sudden frightened scream behind him.

The change happened in an instant, and she went to find a vague danger behind her, and when she turned around, a dagger was close to her throat.

Su Mian's eyes widened dumbfounded, and in a panic, as if he was nailed to the spot, he couldn't move,

Qing Yang rushed in from the outside, his body wrapped in a strong wind and brought up the ashes on the incense case, Su Mian watched him catch the dagger with his bare hands, the sharp blade cut through the palm, and the blood gushed out, red.

When the little master pulled out the dagger just now, the blade was shaken by the light, and the cold reflection refracted was keenly captured by Qing Yang.

The little master's kung fu is amazing, even Qing Yang, who has been following Gu Zhixing to death for many years, can only barely make a draw with him, the incense case was overturned by them, and in the chaos, every knife of the assassin is still close to Su Mian.

Qiushuang grabbed Su Mian's hand: "Princess, let's go quickly." ”

They tried to go outside, but it was clear that they were also fellow Assassins, and the guards they had brought with them were also engaged in the Assassins.

It should have been a solemn temple, but it was immediately soaked in swords, swords, shadows, and bloodstains.

Su Mian staggered and followed the arm pulled by Qiushuang, and there were always some swords that were not blocked, and they were forced to come over.

Qiushuang picked up the candlestick on the ground and blocked it several times, but this time, she was separated from Su Mian, the two were scattered, and Qingyang was lacking in skills, so she watched a person stand up from behind the prayer banner next to the Buddha statue, slashed Su Mian's neck with one palm, and successfully dragged Su Mian who had fainted out.

"Princess." Qing Yang was shocked and subconsciously wanted to chase him, but the people around him who were entangled with him took the opportunity to stab him in the chest, and he was injured and knelt on the ground.

That man succeeded, but he didn't immediately take Su Mian's life, these people who were still entangled with the guards all accepted their moves, turned around and quickly evacuated, bringing heavy casualties to the guards, and there was no way to chase them.

Qiu Shuang realized that she had made a big mistake, threw the candlestick and chased after her, looking terrified: "Niangniang! ”

Qing Yang covered the wound on his chest and chased after him, and the guards could still follow it movingly, but when they chased it into the woods outside, they couldn't catch up, and there was no trace.

Qing Yang gritted his teeth, and suddenly clenched his fist and smashed it on the trunk of the tree, and the blood in the palm of his hand, which was already bloodstained, surged even more fiercely, but he couldn't care about it, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Qiushuang fell to the ground with weak legs and weak feet, raised her eyes to look at the direction where the assassin disappeared, and soon her eyes were hazy with tears: "What to do, what to do now, Niangniang......"

Qing Yang frowned slightly, turned around and walked in the direction of the temple: "What are you crying about, hurry back to the city to find Lord Lu." ”

But he came to the temple alone, found the place where the horse had just been bolted, and regardless of the injuries on his body, turned over and chased out in the direction just now.

Autumn Frost stumbled back to the city.

Within half a day, the news that the regent princess was tied up in Jing'an Temple spread far and wide.

The capital, which was already full of rumors, was even more uneasy, his expression looked calm and timeless, but the inside was already turbulent, and the suspicion that someone wanted to get rid of the prince against the regent became more and more intense.

Even if Gu Zhao obviously didn't do anything, all the suspicions would surround him at this moment.

So as soon as he heard that Su Mian was kidnapped, Gu Zhao secretly left the palace and came to the regent palace.

Qiushuang was reporting the situation to Lu Zhe, this girl was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly, and her speech was upside down, and she was even more panicked when she heard the emperor come up before she finished speaking.

Lu Zhe recounted what he heard to Gu Zhao, and said slowly: "Now the most suspicious is Miss Sheng Jiasheng, she asked the princess to go to Jing'an Temple to offer incense, and the princess had an accident, and there are already people in the patrol camp who are following Qingyang to chase after her, so the emperor doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Gu Zhao's face was gloomy, as soon as he thought of Su Mian's kidnapping, the world's discussion put the blame on him, he couldn't bear it, and said in a gloomy voice: "Then what are you waiting for, don't you understand if you arrest this person and torture him clearly?" ”

"Someone has already been arranged." Lu Zhe was not frightened by her yin owl, and his expression was quite calm.

Sheng Suqin was brought in quickly, and she also heard about Su Mian's kidnapping, but she felt wronged to the extreme, and kept explaining: "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't let people kidnap Su Mian, you can let people investigate, I don't like Su Mian, but I don't have a deep grudge against her, not to the point of kidnapping her, and will I be so stupid?" Everyone knows that she went to incense and sent someone to kidnap her when I suggested it, isn't this a clear indication that I am a murderer? ”

Lu Zhe glanced at her suspiciously, his brows furrowed, and his heart was not calm as if he was overturned.

If something happens to Su Mian, Gu Zhixing will definitely get out of control, and at that time, the entire Xisheng, and even the Huachen Continent, I am afraid that they will have to be buried with them.

Therefore, before Gu Zhixing knew about this matter, he must bring Su Mian back safely.

But there are no clues at the moment.

Gu Zhao was even more direct, and after listening to Sheng Suqin's words, he opened his mouth and asked, "You didn't do it, so why did you let Su Mian go to the incense?" You don't have a good relationship, what did you tell her to make her feel that she should go to the temple to offer incense to be at ease? As far as I know, she is not a superstitious person. ”

Su Mian has always admired science, and the same is true of the academy she opened.

But isn't it strange that I'm going to incense now?

Sheng Suqin frowned slightly, knelt on the ground and raised her eyes to look at Gu Zhao with courage, her heart was terrified, she couldn't help but guess, what did the emperor mean by asking? Do you want to trick her? In Su Mian's investigation of Liu Ce, can Gu Zhao really be trusted?

Can she tell Gu Zhao everything?

Sheng Suqin couldn't make up her mind at all.

Her silence made the atmosphere even more oppressive and dull, Gu Zhao's face became more and more gloomy, and he also lost his patience, and said coldly and intimidatingly: "Speak!" What did you tell her to trick her into going to Jing'an Temple, if you don't make it clear, you must be an accomplice to the kidnapping, if not the mastermind. ”

In the face of Gu Zhao, especially Gu Zhao, who was domineering and had a cold and murderous aura at the end of her eyes, the fear and panic in her heart were unprecedentedly high, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

But in addition to being afraid of the deterrence and oppression brought by Gu Zhao, Sheng Suqin was even more afraid that Gu Zhao would not be credible.

If he knew that they were investigating Liu Ce's affairs, he would be even more dangerous.

So in just a few seconds, Sheng Suqin reacted quickly, she gritted her teeth and said stiffly: "I can't say." ”

The atmosphere quickly cooled down, and Gu Zhao's face was almost terrifying: "It seems that Miss Sheng has made up her mind to ignore the dozens of people in the Sheng family, if Su Mian has any good intentions, your whole family can't run away, can you think about it, can't you really say it?" ”

Sheng Suqin gritted her teeth and promised: "I can only say that Su Mian was really not kidnapped by me, this matter has nothing to do with me at all, it is true that I asked her to take care of Jing'an Temple, but what we discussed before was not to let more people know, instead of forcing me here, it is better to let people find it earlier." ”

Sheng Suqin fought with the last bit of courage, gritted her teeth and held on.

In the next second, she heard Gu Zhao's impatient scolding: "Someone came to press her down for me." ”

He didn't find Su Mian now, and there was really no evidence of what happened to Sheng Suqin, Lu Zhe rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and immediately stood up: "I'll take someone to find it again, the first time I heard the news of the city gate and where checkpoint, I have already ordered a blockade and strict investigation as soon as I heard the news, they should not go far, Jing'an Temple is surrounded by our people for several kilometers, this group of people can only hide in the suburbs of Beijing." ”

Lu Zhe followed Gu Zhixing to find Song Yanran last time, and now he has accumulated a little experience.

Gu Zhao's face was gloomy and cold, remembering that when he asked Gu Zhixing to lead the order to the south, the other party had only one request for him, which was an advice to protect Su Mian, and Gu Zhao was about to say something to go with Lu Zhe.
