On the third day of Lu Qingzi's return to Fenghuaguan, Gu Xiao didn't see Li Wuye for a long time, so he knew that something was wrong, and began to send people to find Li Wuye's whereabouts, but unfortunately after a whole day, he didn't even see a corpse, and Gu Xiao couldn't help but sit still.

"Where did Li Wuye go that day? DID YOU KNOW? Gu Xiao looked at the guard in front of him and asked.

The guard arched his hand and replied: "Back to the prince, when my subordinates went to investigate, the soldiers guarding the city gate said that Commander Li never came back after leaving the city. ”

A trace of surprise crossed Gu Xiao's eyes, "Why did he go out of the city?" ”

The guard shook his head, "This subordinate doesn't know, the soldiers guarding the city gate said that Commander Li left in a hurry, and didn't say what to do. ”

Gu Xiao was puzzled in his heart, "Immediately take someone to look outside the city, and report as soon as you have a clue!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." The guard left in response, leaving Gu Xiao alone in the study with his brows furrowed.

At noon, the guards sent out finally came back to restore their lives, but the result was very disappointing, "Lord Wang, there is no trace of Commander Li outside the city. ”

Gu Xiao looked at the guard with a gloomy expression and asked, "No clues?" ”

The guard thought for a moment and said to Gu Xiao: "I found a piece of grass by the river outside the city that was charred, and there was nothing else after that. ”

It's not unusual to find a place to set up a fire to eat something outside the city, but Gu Xiao always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say what's wrong.

Gu Xiao thought for a while, and said to the guard: "Go to the river and check again!" Let's go down! ”

After the guard left, Gu Xiao began to be a little glad that he didn't tell Zhou Qingwu the news that "Thousand Herbs" might still be in this world.

If he told Zhou Qingwu that he had failed to find "A Thousand Herbs" one after another, I am afraid that he would be punished.

It's not too late to send it when he finds it, but he doesn't believe that there is a way to make people immortal, but it is better to send it to Zhou Qingwu to stabilize his position.

What's more, even if there is no "Thousand Herbs", the whereabouts of the woman are still to be found, and he always feels in his heart that she has something to do with the sudden fire in the palace.

He had suspected that it was an egret who had escaped from the chaos, but the portrait sent by the lord of Qingfeng City was another person, and he was full of doubts and even more reluctant to let go.

King Rui is dead, and he must avenge King Rui before he can stop!

In the palace, Zhou Qingwu was talking to Zhang Ruolan in the Qinyang Palace, Xiao Luzi suddenly came in and saluted, and said a few words to Zhou Qingwu in his ear, then stepped aside and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this?" ”

Zhou Qingwu frowned slightly, let go of Zhang Ruolan's hand that he had been holding, and said, "I will leave first, and I will come to see you when I have time." ”

Zhang Ruolan was a little aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty said that you will accompany the concubines in Qinyang Palace today, why are you going to leave so much?" ”

Although Zhou Qingwu frowned, he still had some patience with Zhang Ruolan, and after a few words, he left Qinyang Palace and returned to the study.

Outside the Shang study's room, there was already a secret guard waiting, and when he saw Zhou Qingwu coming, he immediately saluted and said, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhou Qingwu nodded, "Come in with me!" ”

"Yes." The secret guard answered, and followed Zhou Qingwu into the study's room.

Zhou Qingwu sat on the dragon chair, then looked at him and asked, "Did Li Wu kill Guo Shangshu by the hand of the grandson of Wang Taifu?" Can you find out? ”

The dark guard knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, the subordinates have found out." It is indeed Li Wuwei, not only that, but Li Wu also handed a lot of news to Wang Xinnian, otherwise Wang Xinnian would not have found out the truth about Wang Taifu's death so quickly. ”

Zhou Qingwu frowned, "Where is Wang Xinnian now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Wang Xinnian seems to have been taken back to the house by the Wang family himself and hidden, before this, Li Wu sent people to kill people and kill people, but I don't know why, Wang Xinnian didn't die." The secret guard said, paused and continued: "When the subordinates were investigating this matter, they also accidentally discovered that the righteous daughter adopted by the Protector was actually a woman from the Qinglou, and when the woman was just sold to the Qinglou a month ago, she was taken away. ”

Before the words fell, a faint anger appeared in Zhou Qingwu's eyes: "This protector is really bold!" ”

This righteous girl is the woman in the letter to Zhang Ruolan's family, she dared to send the Qinglou woman into the palace and corrupt the royal bloodline, Zhang Quan really relied on Zhang Lanruo to be in the house, so he thought he could do whatever he wanted!

"Your Majesty is angry!" The dark guard lowered his head, and his words were full of panic, for fear that he would affect himself.

Zhou Qingwu looked at the secret guard and said, "Find an opportunity to kill the adopted daughter of the Protector." Remember, don't leave a trace! ”

The dark guard replied, "Yes! His subordinates obey the holy will. ”

"Let's go down!" Zhou Qingwu waved his hand, and the dark guard bowed and retreated.

That night, an Assassin appeared in the Protectorate's Mansion.

The assassin broke into Wu Xueying's room, and Wu Xueying was stabbed before she could even ask for help, but fortunately, the maid who came to add lamp oil to Wu Xueying found it in time and called the guards in this mansion, so that Wu Xueying saved her life.

It's just a pity that by the time the guards came, the assassins had already escaped.

When Zhang Quan arrived, only Wu Xueying was left in a pool of blood, and the clothes on her abdomen were already red with blood, and she had passed out.

"Go and call Lang Zhong over!" Zhang Quan was anxious and angry, and hurriedly asked someone to carry Wu Xueying to the bed, and stopped the bleeding in his abdomen first.

"Immediately go and find out who did it, and dare to come to this Protector Mansion to assassinate!" Zhang Quan looked at the pale Wu Xueying on the bed, and his hands trembled slightly with anger.

"Yes, my subordinates will take someone to investigate, and the lord will be angry."

The guard beside him led the order and left, and Zhang Quan stood on the edge of the bed with his hands behind his back and didn't say a word.

If Wu Xueying died, all the hard work of so many days would be in vain, not to mention such a look, where to find it in a short time?

After Lang Zhong hurried over with the medicine box, he was even exempted from salutation, and began to treat Wu Xueying.

After half an hour, Na Lang Zhongfang wiped the sweat on his head and said to Zhang Quan: "If you go back to the master, Miss's life will be saved, but you have to recuperate for more than a month." ”

Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to save your life, it's good to save your life." ”

At the beginning of this night, Zhang Quan arranged guards around Wu Xueying's house to be on standby at any time.

Wu Xueying is not dead, the person who wants her life may come again, he must not let Wu Xueying die in his Protectorate Mansion like this!
