Chapter 47: Gu Qinghe
"And where are you going to find me?"
The sudden sound was like a thunderclap in the Suppression Division. The long and tall figure entered the sight of everyone in the Zhenfu Division. In this view, the focus of everyone's eyes was on a man standing on the wall, armed with a strong bow and carrying a quiver.
When the people of the Pacification Division heard the voice, they took precautions. Except for Hai Wuxian and Wei Yong, who were unarmed, the other head catchers had already pressed their hands on the handle of their sabers, staring at the assassin who suddenly appeared, waiting for Wei Yong to give an order to kill the assassin under the knife.
Gu Qinghe was less than thirty steps away from the head catchers of the Zhenfu Division, and at this distance, his archery skills would not be afraid of anyone.
Wei Yong's face was gloomy, as if he was holding back the anger in his heart. The other party repeatedly provoked the Suppression Division. Don't you really take him seriously? So he shouted at Gu Qinghe: "Who gave you the courage to dare to provoke the imperial court again and again?" Is it true that I can't do it in the mud? ”
"What Master Wei said is a bit excessive, collect money from people, and eliminate disasters for others. In the next untouchable, how dare you go against the court! It's just that the Suppression Division is not muddy......"
Before Gu Qinghe finished speaking, Li Zhu put the saber in his hand on the ground, his body trembling constantly, and he seemed to be a little unstable. Immediately, Zhu Zhao, Yan Chong, and Tie Lihua also reacted, and they all needed to use their blades to stand firm.
The other party actually made a black hand, when? This is the moment of the stroke, the idea of the four.
But Hai Wuxian, Wei Yong, and Chen Ao didn't have anything. Li Zhu immediately reacted: "The arrow rain trap set by the other party before, the arrow was suddenly poisoned!" ”
Wei Yong immediately made a decision, stretched out his hand and pulled out the saber in Chen Ao's hand, and threw it in the direction of Gu Qinghe with force, without a half-minute pause in between. And Gu Qinghe didn't panic when he saw the official knife spinning and flying. Holding the bow in your left hand and bringing your index and middle fingers together in your right hand, you can draw an arrow from your quiver. Shot out according to the knife that was thrown, and the action was more than a point faster than Wei Yong! "Ding!" With a thud, he knocked the flying knife away.
Seeing that his attack had not succeeded, Wei Yong said in a deep voice to Gu Qinghe: "Hand over the antidote!" ”
"Master Wei doesn't have to worry, he is not a person in the officialdom, and he cares a lot about integrity! As long as the employer has Hai Wuxian's life, other people's lives are not valuable, it is just a simple drug, which will only make the body weaker and not toxic. ”
When Wei Yong heard that his subordinates were not poisoned, he also let go of his worries, and asked Gu Qinghe again: "Who sent you?" ”
"The state has its own laws, and there are rules and regulations. The owner is not hired because of his ability to stab in the down. It's about looking at the tight mouth from top to bottom. As he spoke, Gu Qinghe once again put the arrow on the hard bow, and it was Hai Wuxian who pulled the bowstring and aimed at it.
"Vertical Zier dare!"
"Whoosh!" The arrow shot in the direction of Hai Wuxian.
With a pop, the arrow shot through the body, and blood burst out. But the person who was hit by the arrow was not Hai Wuxian, but Li Zhu, who was drugged and his body was weak. I don't know when Li Zhu rushed in front of Hai Wuxian, and what kind of perseverance and courage he used to rush over.
"Senior brother!"
"Candle!"
The crowd exclaimed. When Chen Ao shot at Hai Wuxian with Gu Qinghe's bow, he also rushed towards Hai Wuxian, but it was just not as fast as Li Zhu's reaction. When he learned that the emperor was behind Hai Wuxian, Chen Ao made up his mind to move closer to the little emperor and find a way for himself to climb. So from time to time I observed Hai Wuxian.
If that arrow is shot at Hai Wuxian, it will definitely die. If you rush up to block it yourself, you may avoid fatal injuries. This was Chen Ao's idea at the time, if he saved the other party and took the opportunity to make a good relationship between the two parties, then he would be able to take the emperor's path. was preempted by Li Candle, but Chen Ao did not show an unhappy face.
"Senior brother, how are you!" Zhu Zhao hurriedly ran to Li Zhu's side, and the period of the operation was still flickering.
"It doesn't matter, get out of the way! Protect Hai Wuxian first, the assassins must not be allowed to succeed, and the name of the Suppression Division must not be lost! Li Zhu gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
After Gu Qinghe missed an arrow at Hai Wuxian, he shot a few more arrows at this guard. After Wei Yong dodged away, Gu Qinghe was gone.
"Senior brother, don't worry, the assassin has already run away." Zhu Zhao held down Li Candle's wound, and the arrow actually shot through Li Candle's body, how much strength did it take to shoot such an arrow?
"Candle, how's it going?" After making sure that Gu Qinghe was leaving, Wei Yong rushed to his apprentice's side.
"The master is fine, it's just that he can't bear the pain."
"It's okay! This is a good thing, if you really want to let that assassin succeed, the court doesn't know how to mock the old man! While speaking, Wei Yong looked back at Chen Ao and praised: "Chen Zhutou, you are not bad!" ”
Chen Ao nodded and did not speak.
Wei Yong's face was gloomy, first there was a case of the prime minister in the capital, and then the assassin attacked, from the hand Lianzhu who had just left, it could be known that Hai Wuxian did not tell a lie, and he could indeed make four arrows in a row, but he didn't start the first time. Set a trap to lure all the trappers into pursuit, and take the opportunity to smear the arrows with drugged. If I hadn't come back from the palace in a hurry, I'm afraid I would really let the other party succeed.
It can be determined that the Ministry of Industry did it, and it is probably not the main purpose to extinguish the sea of mouths. It is true that he took the opportunity to ruin the name of the Suppression Division. Li Hanlin's old Wang Ba is really insidious!
"Ahem!" Li Zhu suddenly coughed, and there was still some blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Master, senior brother coughed up blood!" Seeing this, Zhu Zhao hurriedly exclaimed.
Wei Ji stepped forward to check Li Candle's pulse, Li Candle's pulse was weak and fast, was it caused by excessive blood loss? But the reaction is so fast, it's not good! Wei Yong shouted at everyone: "That arrow is suddenly poisoned, Zhu Zhao, go and ask for a doctor!" ”
Zhu Zhao didn't even have time to answer, and hurriedly rushed towards the gate of the Zhenfu Division. But after a few steps, his legs and feet were weak and he couldn't walk, Chen Ao hurriedly shouted: "Zhu Zhutou is incapacitated, I'll go and ask a doctor!" He took over from Zhu Zhao and ran out of the door.
At the same time, Hai Wuxian and Wei Yong lay Li Candle's body flat, probably the man who was so poisonous and violent that he didn't scream after being hit by the arrow, was already pale and unconscious at this time.

The residence of Li Hanlin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
"My lord, the assassin didn't succeed! Why don't we get rid of the Assassins? Save yourself all day worrying about the Assassin's business. ”
"What's the panic? Isn't it also a miss? This time, give Wei Yong's old man a dismount, and see how the old man still uses that nostrils to the sky and shows the old man's face in the court! ”
"My lord, although I have earned my face this time, the assassin is still a loophole after all!"
"Forget it, since the other party was not captured on the spot, I think I wouldn't be easily arrested with the skills of that assassin. Recently, the wind direction in the court is a little strange, and the old guy in the official department is not like the usual old man, before he finds out, it is better not to act rashly, otherwise it will only increase the handle. ”
"But the subordinates are worried about ......"
"Alright, stop worrying about the assassins, and send a letter to those reckless people in a moment, and if they don't get the money done, let them deal with the assassins they sent by themselves, and don't worry about them. Hum! also said that they were the number one master, and they failed twice in a row, where can they go? If it weren't for the rumors that they had tight mouths, the old man would have chosen them? ”
"That's what your lord said! However, their subordinates still didn't find out the details, but they found out that they were composed of a group of gangsters, who were active in the Jiangnan area at first. ”
"Cut off all contact with them, don't worry about them. It's been a while since Chen Xiu was arrested! If there was evidence, the little emperor would have been impatient to attack the old man. Now it seems that Chen Xiu has no evidence, we must not be caught by other tricks now, and order the people below not to cause trouble for the old man in the near future! ”
"This subordinate knows."
"Huh......" After Li Hanlin finished explaining, he exhaled deeply.
——————
Outside the imperial study, a little eunuch whispered something to Feng An.
"Alright, you go ahead and inquire." After finishing the order, Feng An turned around and knocked on the door.
"Feng An? Come on in! Li Zhen is reviewing the folds.
"Holy Lord, something has happened to the Suppression Division again!"
Li Zhen closed his fold, a little curious, Wei Yong had just left the imperial study, what happened?
"What's wrong?"
"Back to the saint, after Lord Wei returned to the Zhenfu Division, the assassins who had previously assassinated entered the Zhenfu Division to assassinate again, and the catchers who went to hunt before were also planted, and the specific matter had to wait for the people below to inquire clearly. According to the news that came back, Li Zhu Li blocked an arrow for Hai Wuxian in order to save Hai Wuxian, and I heard that he was also poisoned! ”
Li Zhen's face immediately darkened after hearing this, and he originally planned to balance the forces of all parties and let them check and balance each other. But I didn't expect the Ministry of Industry to provoke again and again, and it seems that I can't control it. But not long ago, he sent a secret order to the officials, and it was not easy to tear his face at this time.
"Feng An, after receiving this kind of provocation, the Zhenfu Division must not give up easily. Ministry of Industry, I can clean up in the future, now is the critical moment to maintain the balance of all parties in the court, we can't let Wei Yong target the Ministry of Industry like this, pass on the order, isn't Li Zhu poisoned? First send an imperial doctor to scare them, the injury is more serious, and let the Zhenfu Division divide some men to hunt down the Jianghu Langzhong in the blood prison. ”
"The old slave obeys!" After Feng An received the order, he planned to go down on an errand.
"Wait!" Li Zhen stopped Feng An, who hurriedly returned to his place. And asked, "What else does Your Majesty command?" ”
Li Zhen rubbed his right hand. "Feng An, you go in person and explain it clearly to Wei Yong, so as not to have a bad heart against me."
Feng An didn't understand why Li Zhen still had to explain anything to Wei Yong, so he said, "Your Majesty! Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en! Does he dare to resist the decree? ”
"Even so, Wei Yong has always been my confidant since I was still the prince, and he will be chilled when he suddenly snubs the Zhenfu Division. Inform me of my plan in advance, and save him from ruining my plan! ”
"No."
"You still have to be careful when you go, don't let people know, especially the officials."
"No."
