Chapter 30: The Assassins
The next day, Sima Ru and the others left, and the rangers were imprisoned for three months, and then they left, and the whole prison became quiet.
"Hey, boring, boring, Sima Ru and Sun Sheng had someone to brag about when they were there, but now there is not even a person, I'm bored." Cheng Chubi lay on the couch and looked at the roof boredly.
At the same time, in the Mansion of the State of China, Chai Lingyu sat on the edge of the desk and read the book, but he couldn't read it.
"Xiaoyun, do you say that Brother Dugu really knows Dugu Nine Swords?" Chai Lingyu asked the attendant beside him.
"Princess, this ...... The slave doesn't know. The maid beside her said.
"Call me a general at home, don't call me a princess." Chai Lingyu frowned slightly, although she has been given the surname Li and has been named Princess Xinping, but **Yu prefers others to call her a general, and she still lives in the Mansion of the Kingdom of Chen.
Princess Tan Binh Mansion is also under construction, and it will be completed in a short time.
Princess Xinping's Mansion was originally the residence of Emperor Yang of Sui's ministers, left after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and the original owner was also killed because of the war, and only needed to repair it to move in.
"General, this matter must only be known to Cheng Chubi, why don't we ask him?" The attendant beside him asked.
"Huh?" Chai Lingyu's brows furrowed slightly.
"General, this story came from Cheng Chubi's side, whether this Dugu Nine Swords really exists, I think only Cheng Chubi knows best, why don't we ask?"
"If the general really has doubts in his heart, only Cheng Chubi can solve the general's troubles."
“……”
"Find Ben General's cloak, Ben will personally ask about this journey!" Chai Lingyu stood up and said, the women of the Tang Dynasty are open, and Chai Lingyu is mixed in the ranks, so she has always been a woman who can do what she wants and does not have many concerns.
Cheng Chubi looked at the ceiling boredly, feeling a little depressed, it has been so long, why hasn't the Cheng family sent food yet? Have they forgotten that I exist?
"It's really quiet today, someone should have brought food at this time, why is it so strange today?" Cheng Chubi showed a trace of helplessness on his face and said, "Could it be that I was really forgotten by everyone?" ”
"Squeak!"
However, at this moment, the door of Cheng Chubi's cell opened, and a man dressed in black walked in, still carrying a basket in his hand.
"Great, it's finally here, you're a little late today." Seeing someone coming in, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face, stood up, and said, "What about Cheng Xin?" Why didn't Cheng Xin come today? ”
In the past, it was Cheng Xin who came to deliver food, but today it was a stranger, but forget it, there are so many servants in the Cheng family, and it is impossible for Cheng Chubi to know everyone, anyway, it is good to come.
"Cheng Xin?" When the other party heard Cheng Chubi's words, he couldn't help but show a sneer on his face, and said, "Why didn't Cheng Xin come, you should go underground and ask him!" ”
"Smack~"
I heard a sound, and the basket fell to the ground, and a can of chicken soup in the basket was scattered, and the other party had an extra pig-killing knife in his hand.
"You...... You are not from the Cheng family, who are you? Cheng Chubi hurriedly took a few steps back and said loudly: "Help, help, someone wants to kill me, help!" ”
"You don't have to shout, the people outside have been stunned by my incense, don't worry, I won't let you die in too much pain." A cruel smile appeared on the corner of the man in black's mouth.
"Why did you kill someone? A certain family has no grievances with you in the past and no enmity in the near future, why do you want to kill a certain family? Cheng Chubi was retreated to the edge of the wall, leaning against the wall, his heart was quite flustered.
This guy is going to kill himself? Although he said that he was a gentleman in his predecessor, he didn't seem to have done anything harmful, right? Who the hell is this guy? Why kill yourself?
"Could it be that Yuan Tiangang sent you? How much did Yuan Tiangang give you? You say, I'll give you double the price! Yuan Tiangang of the dog, Lao Tzu just beat you up, do you need to use a knife against me? Damn, it's just just too hateful. "Cheng Chubi scolded, I have only beaten one person after coming to Datang for so long, and that is Yuan Tiangang, could it be that this guy was sent by a dog to kill me?
"Yuan Tiangang? Yuan Shi does have some ability, if he wants to kill you, he only needs to recite the charm, and he doesn't need a certain family to make a move. The man in black said with a sneer.
"Could it be that the people of the Xiao family? Are you from the Xiao family? How much money the Xiao family gives you, I will give you ten times more! Cheng Chubi yelled and said, it is impossible to say that you are not afraid of death, there are really people in this world who are not afraid of death, but it is definitely not Cheng Chubi.
"The Xiao family? They don't deserve it! ”
"Whose kind of person are you? If you want to die, you have to let me die. Cheng Chubi was about to cry.
"If you want to know who I am, ask again when you get to the Yama Temple! If you want to blame it, blame you for being Cheng Biting Jin's son! The other party sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I have avenged you today!" ”
Sou!
The figure flashed, and the other party quickly pounced on Cheng Chubi, and Cheng Chubi hurriedly dodged.
And at this time, I saw a cold light flashing outside, and the next second I heard a "poof" sound, and the body of the man in black fell straight to the ground, and at this time, there was a bright knife stuck in the other party's back, and the blade stabbed into his heart from behind.
The smell of blood was thick in the air.
"Which hero, thank you for your help." Seeing that the man was dead, Cheng Chubi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Cheng Chubi, I didn't expect you to be so timid, a little assassin scared you to pee." A sneer rang out, and then several figures walked in from outside, led by a beautiful female general.
"Hmph, that's you." Seeing the comer, Cheng Chubi snorted coldly, because it was none other than Chai Lingyu!
"Cheng Sangongzi, what do you mean? Our general saved you, you don't even say thank you, and you still face each other coldly, is this how Old Master Cheng taught you? The guards beside him couldn't stand it anymore and spoke.
"Thank you, she's my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law saved me, isn't it a matter of course?" I couldn't eat enough and sat down quickly, and I accidentally sprayed urine just now.
"Okay Xiaoyun, let's see what that person is all about." Chai Lingyu walked over, glanced at Cheng Chubi, and said, "A big man was actually scared to pee by an assassin, and a gentleman is a gentleman!" ”
"Who said I was scared to pee? I didn't! ”
"Why are your pants wet?"
"It's Khan!"
"General, this person's hands are covered with calluses, it seems that he should often use knives, and there are some arrow wounds on his body, he should have been on the battlefield." The other party said.
"Huh? Take! Chai Lingyu said, ordering someone to carry the huge corpse out, obviously this corpse is not simple.
Watching these people leave, Cheng Chubi's brows furrowed tightly, the person just now said "Your Majesty", could it be that it was Li Er's person? But if it was Li Er, why did he kill himself again?
Datang is too dangerous, I want to go home~
