Chapter 345

Along the side of the mountain, Gu Xici climbed up with difficulty. She stared intently at the mountain beneath her feet, which was so steep that if she had wandered her mind a little, she would have fallen into the deep ravine.

With his agile skills, Gu Xici finally climbed to the top of the mountain before dark, facing the side of General Pingyuan's tent. When it was dark, she fell from here again, leading to General Jinpingyuan's tent.

Gu Xici likes to do things quickly, and if things are not completed for a day, he is a stone in his heart after all. This matter can no longer be delayed by her, and if it continues to develop like this, I am afraid that other incidents will arise.

The sky gradually became dark, and Gu Xici was wearing a black night suit at this time, perfectly hiding herself in this night, if it weren't for her amazing eyesight and extreme care, ordinary people would not be able to detect that she was on this mountain.

Gu Xici found a hard stone, tied it with the big tree on the top, and tied it together with a rope prepared in advance, and he sat next to the big stone, always staring at the situation below.

The lights had been lit in the tent at the foot of the mountain, and the guards had changed. Gu Xi stared intently at General Pingyuan's tent, because of the distance, he could only vaguely see a figure pacing in the tent.

As the night deepened, the soldiers below had already changed their posts several times. Since that day, General Pingyuan's tent has been surrounded by soldiers, and it is still the same, but those people have long lost the spirit of the first day.

Seeing that the lights in General Pingyuan's tent were extinguished, Gu Xici's eyes immediately lit up.

She quickly tied the rope around her waist to make sure that she could safely reach the back of the tent, and with one hand she tugged at the rope and the other hand on the mountain, and jumped down from the top of the mountain.

With the sound of whirring wind blowing in his ears, Gu Xici walked cautiously at every step, not daring to make the slightest movement.

Her eyes wandered between the mountains and the tent, keeping an eye on the situation around the tent. Suddenly, a soldier raised his head and shot his gaze directly at Gu Xici.

Gu Xici grabbed the rope violently, his legs quickly approached the stone next to him, turned his face to face the mountain, and the nerves of the whole person tensed instantly.

"Is there a guy up there?" The soldier rubbed his eyes, trying to see better.

"Dude, have you been on duty for a long time? How could there be someone up there! The soldier standing next to him reached out and patted him on the back of the head, "Don't forget, we thought it was someone that day, but it turned out to be a fucking scarecrow!" ”

Hearing the person next to him say this, the soldier also began to wonder if it was a problem with his eyes. He rubbed his eyes, looked over there again, and there was nothing left, "Hey, damn this assassin, I'm going to have a bad eye if I stay on duty like this!" ”

Listening to the sound of the two leaving, Gu Xici breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two of them didn't study it in detail just now, otherwise she would definitely be exposed this time.

Slowly falling down the rope, her feet landed gently on the grass. With a long breath, Gu Xici quickly untied the rope tied to his waist, took out a bamboo pipe from his body, and quietly dived out of the tent.

The tents here are all temporarily built for hunting, and the workmanship is far less elaborate than in the barracks. Gu Xici took out a dagger, made a slight cut, slowly stretched the bamboo pipe in, and blew lightly on this head.

After a few moments, the tent was unusually quiet, the original snoring had disappeared, and only the sound of grass, insects and cicadas could be heard all around.

The corners of Gu Xici's mouth hooked, put away the tools of the crime, found the door by sticking to the edge of the tent, and turned around and flashed into the tent.

The room was pitch black, and Gu Xici squinted his eyes, adjusting to the darkness around him.

Gu Xici stood by the door, looking at the layout of the entire camp. The bed was in the innermost part, and the man was clearly lying on it, but he had fallen asleep.

She leaned down and quietly approached the bed, and the person on the bed was already fascinated by the incense, which greatly facilitated Gu Xici's next actions.

"Sometimes these ancients are pretty good!" Gu Xici couldn't help but praise in her heart, thanks to the fragrance that Xiaohong gave her, it reduced her workload a lot.

Gu Xici has always been simple and quick in his work, and he has never called himself a hero. In her opinion, as long as things can be done, whatever method is the fastest and most effective, use whichever is used.

Including the innocuous measures made in the past few days, everything is aimed at lowering the vigilance of these soldiers. It's like the story of the wolf, and the soldiers get tired of it again and again. And just when everyone is slack, it is a good opportunity to start.

Gu Xici stood at the head of the bed, looking at the person lying on the bed who was not moving.

Counting his previous life, Gu Xici's hands have been stained with the blood of many people. At that time, she was a murder tool, doing everything according to the requirements of the mission, without any emotional hope or goal. But just when she thought that she could finally stop living in the world and find hope for her future life, that hope gave her a fatal blow, ending all her illusions about the future and her life.

Gu Xici smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at the quilt arched in front of him, and pulled away from his memories.

General, I'm really sorry, if you want to blame, blame you for messing with people you shouldn't be messed with. Pulling the dagger from his cuff, he stabbed it hard when he landed on the bed and arched up.

I saw a flash of silver light in front of me, and between the lightning and flint, the quilt that was originally high was suddenly lifted, and a pair of hands stretched out from the quilt and grabbed Gu Xici's wrist tightly.

Gu Xici didn't expect this to happen, and shouted in his heart. With a twist of the blade, the dagger stabbed at the man.

She thought that the man would let go of her hands because of this, but she didn't think that the man's hands were so strong, she just dodged to the side to avoid her attack. And the hand that grabbed her did not let go.

"Who sent you?"

Just when Gu Xiqi was about to attack again and get out, the man's voice shocked her.

How could it be him!

It's just that he was slightly stunned, and Gu Xici was caught by the other party. The man ran down her arm, straight down her throat.

Gu Xici's body reacted faster than her mind, and at the moment when her hand was released, she turned sideways, and the whole person crashed into the table next to her.

The entire table was knocked over by her arrival, and there was a loud bang.

"There are assassins! Come on! ”

The soldiers outside heard the movement inside the tent and hurriedly shouted outside!

And Gu Xici, who narrowly avoided Chu Jin's attack, didn't have time to think at all, picked up the plate on the table and smashed it towards the bed.

When the soldiers heard the sound, they rushed towards the camp tent, and the curtain was lifted from the outside, and a beam of light shone in from the outside, hitting Chu Jin in the face.

Gu Xici could see clearly, how could Chu Jin appear in General Pingyuan's account at this time?

And Chu Jin didn't see that it was her at all, and decided that she was the assassin, so he picked up the other side of the table with one kick and threw Gu Xici, who fell on the other half of the table, directly to the ground.

only heard a "bang", and Gu Xici's whole body fell straight on the broken porcelain, and she seemed to hear the sound of those shards piercing into the flesh of her back.

"Hiss......" Gu Xici couldn't help but whisper, seeing that Chu Jin was about to attack, she couldn't care about the pain in her body, she could only retreat. The wounds on her body and the other porcelain pieces on the ground pierced her back and shoulders, but she didn't have time to pay attention to them.

"The Assassin is here, come and grab her!" One after another, the soldiers rushed in from outside, each with a smile of surprise on their faces. Unexpectedly, after guarding here for so many days, the emperor finally lived up to his wishes and let them capture this assassin. This is a big opportunity for meritorious service, relying on this little assassin, promotion and fortune are just around the corner!

It's just that this assassin is powerful, they have already surrounded the entire camp with three layers outside the tent, and she can sneak into the tent without knowing it. If it weren't for King Zhao's wisdom, General Pingyuan would definitely have become the soul of his sword this time! But this assassin who doesn't know how many officials in the court has killed, how can they be dealt with by these little minions?

Although the soldiers excitedly gathered around Gu Xici, none of them dared to approach, for fear that one of them would accidentally put their own lives into it.

Gu Xici was now stabbed by the porcelain slices all over his body, and he didn't have any extra strength to lie on the ground. Except for his forehead, which was not surrounded by a face toil, the rest of the place was already wet with cold sweat.

At this time, she misses modern high-tech weapons very much, and if she can be given a cuileidan, she has a 100% chance of escaping from here. It's just a pity that there is nothing but a pile of porcelain residues next to her now.

Climbing the mountain had consumed most of Gu Xici's physical strength before, and now he was injured again, not to mention leaving safely, he didn't even have the strength to get up from the ground.

If she had a choice, Gu Xici would definitely find a safer and more secure time, but now it was not her turn to make a decision, whether it was Netherworld Valley and Xiaohong, or Gu Yuan, she would not be allowed to delay any longer.

Sure enough, in addition to the ninety-nine points of effort to be a killer, you still have to rely on that one percent of luck.

Gu Xici couldn't help but laugh miserably.

"You'd better recruit from the truth, who sent you?" Chu Jin's purple eyes stared at the assassin lying on the ground, and the long sword in his hand was against the assassin's chest.

The firelight swayed on his handsome face, and even though his complexion was so pale that it seemed to fall at any moment, the momentum that could emanate from his body made the people around him shiver down their spines.

Gu Xici looked at those eyes, and a trace of sadness rose inexplicably in his heart.

It turned out that this was the real Chu Jin, a man she had never seen through. I thought that she was quite knowledgeable, but she didn't want to lose in the hands of this angry person today.

"I've given you a chance, do you want this king to let you speak?" Chu Jin's voice was not loud, but it made Gu Xici feel cold in his heart.

She pursed her lips and said nothing, stubbornly looking at Chu Jin.

"Where are the assassins! Lao Tzu must make her look good! General Pingyuan walked in angrily from outside the tent, pulled out a big knife from his waist, and directly swung the knife on Gu Xici's neck.

At this moment, Gu Xici saw that General Pingyuan had changed into soldiers' clothes and was hiding among these soldiers. It's only because of the large number of people that it's long overdue.

Gu Xici's gaze suddenly became sharp, and the dagger in his hand forcibly waved, blocking the big knife that was about to be placed on his neck, and his body rolled over, dodging the long sword that Chu Jin was lying across his chest.

Before the others could come back to their senses, Gu Xici directly attacked General Pingyuan from behind, and a dagger was directly on his neck.

"Ahh General Pingyuan didn't see it clearly, he only felt that the figure in front of him flashed, and then a cold iron weapon crossed his neck, "You, what are you going to do!" ”

"Hmph, if you want to tell your generals that it's okay, get out of the way of me!" Gu Xici deliberately lowered his voice, and his gaze swept sharply over everyone present.

The soldiers did not expect that at this time, the assassin would still be able to resist again, and the fear of her was added to the layer.

Chu Jin didn't expect that this person was already at the end of his crossbow, but he could still escape from his sword, squinted his eyes, and said with certainty as if questioning: "You just pretended." ”

Gu Xici snorted coldly, but unexpectedly pulled the wound behind him, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"The prince has good eyesight, but now either let me out, or I will die here with him."

General Pingyuan was also a heavy-hearted person, and when he heard that this little thief was actually threatening Chu Jin with himself, he hurriedly shouted, "Lord Wang, don't worry about me, it's important to catch the assassin!" Lao Chen has fought bravely for the country all his life, and has made great achievements, and today I can catch this assassin with my death, and Lao Chen is satisfied! ”

Gu Xici frowned, and the dagger in his hand was closer, "Shut up, old immortal!" ”

The dagger was sharp, leaving a trace of blood on General Pingyuan's neck.

The soldiers around them were already frightened, and the assassin seemed to have made up his mind to fight them, so should they rush forward or give way?

Everyone focused their eyes on Chu Jin, waiting for his order.

Chu Jin frowned, "You killed him, do you think you will die so easily?" ”

Gu Xici sneered, "What, the prince is not going to save him?" Let's see if your sword is faster or my dagger is faster! ”

As he spoke, the dagger in Gu Xici's hand was a little closer to General Pingyuan's neck. She didn't believe it, Chu Jin would ignore this old minister's life for her.

Gu Xici's actions touched the hearts of the soldiers around him. After all, most of them were soldiers who followed General Pingyuan, and at this time, they couldn't see him being taken down by an assassin.

Chu Jin and Gu Xici confronted each other, and the two exchanged glances, as if they wanted to compete here.

Gu Xici waited any longer, and she pressed the treasure on General Pingyuan's body. The wounds on her body hurt terribly, and the sweat eroded those wounds, forcing her to bite her lower lip to control herself from exchanging sounds.
