Chapter 232: The Black Shadow Behind Him

The former general's mansion, in the wing room where Liu Wei and Guan Qing lived. More than a dozen white candles were lit on the candlestick, and the flickering fire on the white candles illuminated the room.

At a small low table, Liu Wei and Guan Qing sat facing each other. Guan Qing's expression was very gloomy, and her delicate face was a little gloomy. And Liu Wei was also blushing, frowning tightly, looking down and thinking about something.

"Your Highness......" The two sat facing each other, and after a long time, Guan Qing raised his eyes to look at Liu Wei and said to him: "I can't find the opportunity today......

"I almost killed you!" Knowing what Guan Qing was about to say, Liu Wei raised his hand, stopped her from talking, and said to her: "It is not this king who the dancer wants to assassinate, but you!" ”

"Assassinate me?" Guan Qing looked at Liu Wei with a blank face, furrowed her brows slightly, and asked him: "The little girl is just a nobody next to His Highness, why did she assassinate me?" ”

"Accompany the king to the lotus pond for a walk!" Liu Wei didn't explain to Guan Qing, just stood up, looked down at her kneeling at the table, and said to her: "Today's events are quite complicated, maybe by the lotus pond, you can make your mind clearer." ”

"No!" Without getting a reasonable explanation, Guan Qing was full of confusion, but he didn't ask forcibly, but answered softly, stood up and followed Liu Wei out of the wing.

As soon as the two of them came out of the wing, several guards guarding the courtyard hurriedly followed them.

Seeing the guards following behind him, Liu Wei stopped, glanced sideways and backwards, and said to the guards in a cold tone: "There are also guards outside the courtyard, you can't leave an inch, don't you want this king to have even half a moment of leisure?" Stand down, don't follow this king!" ”

was reprimanded by Liu Bian, several guards glanced at each other, and did not dare to openly disobey Liu Bian's intentions, clasped their fists with both hands, bowed slightly, and stopped.

Walking out of the small courtyard side by side with Guan Qing, the guards guarding outside the courtyard saw Liu Wei walking out, and there were no guards behind him, an officer hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late......"

"This king is not sleepy at all, he just wants to walk by the lotus pond, why don't you wait or not?" Without waiting for the officer to finish speaking, Liu Wei frowned and glared at him, and said angrily: "Do you have to put this king under house arrest?" If you want the former general to know, can you afford to be offended? ”

Placing Liu Wei here, Gongsun Zhan's original intention was to put him under house arrest. But the guards guarding the house did not dare to say such things openly, and were reprimanded by Liu Bian, who was full of indignation, and the officer had to bow deeply with his hands into fists, and said to Liu Bian: "The villain doesn't dare!" I'm just worried about His Highness's safety. Since His Highness does not like it, the villains and others will serve here, and if His Highness needs it, just call it! ”

Glancing at the officer, Liu Wei snorted lightly and led Guan Qing straight to the lotus pond not far away.

The lotus pond in summer is particularly lively, the sound of frogs in the lotus pond one after another, from time to time there will be one or two koi fish who are not willing to be lonely, jumping out of the water, "bang" to set off a wave, and then fall into the pond.

The evening breeze swept by the lotus pond with a bit of smoke, lifting the ends of the hair of Liu Wei and Guan Qing, who were standing side by side, making the two of them look a little depressed in the night.

Standing by the lotus pond, Liu Wei and Guan Qing didn't speak for a long time, and neither of them knew where to start.

The former general's palace is extremely closely monitored, and it is almost impossible to escape from here. And Liu Wei's previous plan to escape by going to the song and dance workshop to escape has died after Dong Niang's assassination of Guan Qing.

Now they are like two little mice trapped in a cage, with no way to go up to the sky and no way to go to the ground.

"Your Highness!" After a long time, Guan Qing finally couldn't bear the depression, turned his head to look at Liu Wei, and asked him softly, "What can I do now?" ”

"Night view of the lotus pond, the sound of frogs. The night is so ecstatic, why does Miss Guan want to break this elegant realm? Looking at the sparkling lotus pond, Liu Wei seemed to be a little careless and said to Guan Qing: "There is no conquest and killing here, there is no sword light and sword shadow, it is really worth lingering!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Guan Qing.

Guan Qing, who was confused by Liu Bian's words, was stunned, and was about to refute Liu Bian's words without ambition, but saw Liu Bian's eyes at her, and the words that had already reached her mouth were swallowed alive.

"I don't know what happened to the female assassin!" Guan Qing didn't say anything, Liu Wei nodded at her with great satisfaction, and then said: "Why doesn't she attack this king, but wants to kill you, isn't it really because you are from a yellow scarf?" ”

"Perhaps!" Guan Qing turned his face, looked at the lotus pond where the carp that was jumped out from time to time tossed up one or two waves, and said with a little loneliness in his tone: "The Yellow Turban March, along the way, also looted many villages and killed many innocent people......

With his hands behind his back, facing the lotus pond, Liu Wei didn't speak again. He knew that every word he and Guan Qing said while standing here was clearly heard by the two people hiding in the shadows not far away.

At this time, in Yuyang City, Liu Wei and Guan Qing had just left the song and dance workshop.

More than a dozen young men and women dressed in black were lined up, and their eyes were looking at the girl Gui who was standing in front of them with a grim face.

"We wait for the food and clothing on weekdays, who provides it, you think about it very clearly!" With her hands behind her back, walking back and forth in front of everyone, Gui Niang said to everyone: "Although King Hongnong is in Yuyang City, he can't set off a big storm, but if he knows the truth about the assassination of Guan Qing, I am afraid it will make the main family more troubled." Dong Niang was captured, and she must not be asked by King Hongnong to say half a sentence related to the main family! Today, we are going to rescue Dong Niang, if it is really impossible to rescue, only ......"

At this point, Miss Gui's eyes narrowed slightly, and she made a cutting motion with one hand across her neck.

"Obey Miss Gui's orders!" Everyone standing in the courtyard clasped their fists and answered in unison.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard, including Miss Gui, and everyone was a first-class good hand. But none of them noticed that when Miss Gui was giving a lecture to everyone, a figure seemed to be lying on the wall very leisurely, quietly listening to every word they said.

"Let's go!" After all, the assassin will not be like the mobilization of the army before the army is mobilized, Gui Maiden simply explained a few words to everyone, then waved her hand, led everyone to quickly jump out of the song and dance workshop, and through the dark shadows in front of the houses on both sides of the street, quickly ran towards the Yuyang County Government.

Liu Wei and others captured Dong Niang and took her away from the song and dance workshop, Gui Niang had already ordered someone to find out the truth, Dong Niang was escorted to Yuyang County by several Jizhou soldiers who were responsible for protecting Liu Bian.

The assassination of Guan Qing was secretly ordered by Gongsun Zhan. Even the officials in Yuyang City and the generals of the Jizhou Army did not know about it. Dong Niang was handed over to the government for the crime of attempting to assassinate King Hongnong, and the government would not let her go easily.

With the help of Gongsun Zhan's name, he can take back Dong Niang from the government. But in this way, Gongsun Zhan's secret plan will be known to the whole world, and this matter must not be done! The only way to rescue Dong Niang is to break into the official prison at night.

Leading more than a dozen black-clothed masters, she quickly ran towards the direction of the government, and after running through two streets, Gui Girl suddenly stopped, raised her hand to stop the people who were running quickly, and turned her head to look at the street behind her.

There was not even half a figure on the empty streets, and on the bluestone-paved pavement, there were only small whirlwinds whirling, like headless flies that did not follow the direction of the wind at all.

The roofs of the houses on both sides were also empty, and there was not even half a figure.

"Miss Gui, what's wrong?" The more than ten people who followed behind saw something strange from Miss Gui's demeanor, and a young man leaned closer to her, lowered his voice and asked, "But what's wrong with it?" ”

Miss Gui didn't speak, just shook her head, but her brows were always tightly wrinkled, and she still looked behind her with a little worry before turning her head to look at the man.

The dozen or so people who followed her all turned their heads to look behind them, and what appeared in their field of vision was as empty as Gui Maiden had seen. Except for the small whirlwinds roaming around the streets, they didn't even see a moving wild cat.

Miss Gui had a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, if she had such a restless sense of uneasiness on weekdays, she would have led everyone to stop their tasks and withdraw to the song and dance workshop. But today's task is different, if she has a half-point difference, I'm afraid that in less than two days, Gongsun Chan will let her and the group of people under her all fall to the ground.

"Let's go!" Not noticing that there was anything unusual behind her, Miss Gui beckoned to everyone, lowered her voice and said to them: "Be very careful when you act tonight!" ”

"No!" Everyone responded softly, followed behind Miss Gui, and continued to run all the way towards the official mansion.

Their figures had just disappeared from the corner of the street, and in the direction that Miss Gui was looking at just now, a black shadow slowly walked out of the gap between the two houses, looking at the direction where Miss Gui and the others had just left.

The gap between the houses behind him was only enough for one person to hide sideways. Before Miss Fang Cai Gui turned around, he felt that he might have been discovered by the other party, so he hurriedly dodged and hid in this gap, but he just avoided the sight of the group of people he was following.

Leading more than a dozen people to quickly turn the corner of the street, Gui Maiden ran a few steps, suddenly stopped again, and waved her hand at the people behind her.

This group of people are all good at cooperating with each other many times, and when they saw Gui Girl's gesture, they didn't even think about it, and immediately dodged into the shadows on both sides of the street and hid.

Everyone hid, and Miss Gui also jumped to the door of a house, leaned her back against the wall, held her breath, held the long sword in her hand, and twisted her willow eyebrows, as if she was quietly waiting for something.

The summer evening breeze is a little smoky, blowing on people's bodies, and it will not make people feel cool. A small whirlwind swirled across the street, swirling, and swooped down on Miss Gui.

When this little whirlwind swirled at her feet, Miss Gui, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet, passed along her calves and passed through her thighs, lingered in her waist and abdomen for a while, and then rushed straight to the top door, making her shiver all over.
