Chapter 247: Investigating the Assassin

"There is a lake not far from the place where I am hospitalized in the peach blossom stream, and it only ripples when the wind blows on weekdays."

"One time I was feeding the fish in the pavilion by the lake, and I saw the fish swimming towards me, and everything was peaceful."

"It wasn't until I threw a handful of fish food into the lake that an undercurrent came from the center of the lake, which scared the fish away and caused a wave."

"It was a big fish that the eldest brother found out of nowhere, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and it was said to eat people. No one has tried it yet, though. ”

Gu Qingyan muttered to herself, and Jing Yi's back kept all the time.

"Although it is active and scurries back and forth in the lake after eating the meat, the animal, after all, is an animal, and I can make it happy, and I can also make it honest and return to the bottom of the lake."

"What did the emperor do?"

"Way, I told you."

After Gu Qingyan finished speaking, he beckoned to Beiming under the porch outside, ignoring Jing Yi, and asked Beiming: "How is it?" ”

Beiming said: "It's all arranged, and the surroundings of the other courtyard are normal." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, and then dragged back to the house with a lazy pace, and raised her eyebrows at Jing Yi, as if asking her if she understood.

Although Jing Yi was still a little confused, she had already understood eight points, and looking at Gu Qingyan's appearance, she also felt that she couldn't bother for too long.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, he caught a glimpse of Beiming at the door, and said again: "Emperor, there are only a few rough mothers-in-law left in the courtyard?" ”

Gu Qingyan knew what she meant, and waved her hand: "It's okay, after all, this is the palace courtyard, I believe that no one can be bold enough to come to the night again for the second time, besides, the prince should strengthen the guard." As for the matter of serving, it is enough for me to have a plain heart, and I am not at ease with others. ”

Jing Yi listened, and didn't say anything more, let Yue Tao go out and told those mothers-in-law again, and then went out from Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan sent people out of the courtyard, held her waist, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Master, rest quickly." Su Xin hurriedly helped Gu Qingyan sit down and pinched her shoulders and back.

"Okay, okay, I'm so sleepy, let me go sleep first, and no one will disturb me."

Gu Qingyan sat down slightly, and said coquettishly, completely losing the momentum that Fang Cai had in front of people.

Beiming obediently closed the door for Gu Qingyan, and Su Xin cleaned up Gu Qingyan very quickly, Gu Qingyan turned over and fell asleep wrapped in the quilt.

Yuwang said that they were going to drink tea, but they were not idle, Han Yan judged the strength of the sword mark, and concluded that the person who used the sword was not a woman, but a man, and this sword may not be a simple sword.

"I've probably heard of the Umbrella Sword, right?" Hanyan suggests a possibility.

King Yu said: "This is? ”

"Not necessarily, but the principle is similar, and there are few sword weapons that are transformed by placing them in some kind of item."

"And the specific swordsmanship is not quite like Nanwan's, in this case, isn't it easier to find a target." Baili Mo said with a little excitement.

King Yu glanced at him uncertainly: "This is good at disguise, how to find it." ”

Besides, the assassin eventually escaped, without even a clue to interrogate.

Zong Yue spoke on the side: "He can even look for a needle in a haystack, this little thing is not difficult for the people of Yuhualou." ”

"And how long are you sure to find these people?" King Yu asked Bailimo.

Baili Mo looked at Han Yan, and the two looked at each other, and then said, "No matter how fast it is, it will take seven or eight days." ”

"Seven or eight days? You can't stay here for seven or eight days! King Yu glanced at them, and he didn't think that the number he said was accurate.

Bai Limo smiled and didn't continue to answer, he saw that Xi Jue had come back from outside and was already walking towards them, so he nodded to everyone.

"The prince, the young master, the valley master, the second master, the master."

Xi Jue came to him and saluted, with a serious face.

When he heard that there had been a fight in the courtyard before, he withdrew and went out to investigate the situation.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his serious expression, Baili Mo knew what the conclusion was.

Xi decided: "Not long after the young owner and the four girls entered the city, the dark pile found that someone had followed into the city in disguise, and was still inquiring about the whereabouts of the young owner and the four girls. ”

"Just entered the city today?" Xu Shaolin asked.

"Yes."

Xi Jue replied affirmatively, not long after he went out, the dark pile found him and reported the news to him, and after getting the news, he deliberately followed the route said by the dark pile, and indeed found that someone had asked the street vendor about Gu Qingyan's whereabouts.

Xu Shaolin held the chess pieces in his hand and landed on the chessboard: "Lord Wang, your Jicheng is really lively." ”

King Yu sighed, his eyes returned to the chessboard, and the chess game, which was still quite clear, was now slightly anxious.

"Two groups of people? It's kind of interesting, since they don't know who they are targeting, let's protect their own people, Lord Wang, how about it? ”

Xu Shaolin said, his tone relaxed, as if he wasn't worried about what these two groups of people would make a splash in Jicheng.

"That's all there is to it." Yuwang Road.

As the words fell, a few more people came from the other end of the garden, and they approached the pavilion in an orderly manner with things in their hands.

"Lord Wang, the thing has arrived."

Fengxi inspected things in front of the pavilion, and then turned around and said to King Yu.

King Yu waved his hand, motioning for Fengxi to bring the front thing over, and his eyes were still on the chessboard.

After staring at the chessboard for a few more seconds, he really didn't know where to start, so he threw the chess pieces and pointed to the things in Fengxi's hand.

"This is the gorgeous dress that the king prepared for Yan'er, after all, tomorrow will be a formal occasion, and the style and size will be according to what you gave."

Fengxi showed the gorgeous clothes to Xu Shaolin and the three of them, and then pushed them aside for the time being.

Immediately after that, he came up, holding a set of Luan Bird Yu Fei Jin Tian Zhu Yu Jade Crown, hanging with auspicious cloud gold thread tassels.

The two guards behind him also held a plate in their hands, with a pair of hairpins facing flower bits, two budding flower branches and delicate steps, four small bead hairpins, four flying flower butterfly shadow side hairpins, and a pair of exquisite tassels pressed back.

Two forehead flowers, four small flowers, a pair of jade carved peach blossom earrings, a pair of agate jade beads, a pair of jade bracelets with no miscellaneous colors, and a filigree inlaid ring.

Yiying jewelry is fully prepared, and the three big men feel that it is quite heavy.

"It's a little bit of my heart."

King Yu's tone was soft, and he did not claim to be the king.

Gu Qingyan has been out of the palace for many years, and it is difficult for them to love her more after all, not to mention that Gu Qingyan has had an attitude of leaving them as far away as they can since leaving the palace.

Therefore, he simply did not propose to send things directly, but waited for him to leave, and asked Xu Shaolin and them to hand it over on his behalf.

After a short time, Jing Yi came to the garden, and King Yu took Jing Yi back to the palace.

On the way, King Yu asked, "How is the smoke over there?" ”

Jing Yi replied: "Everything is fine with the emperor, the secret guards around her have been sent out to do things, and they also said that the emperor of the other courtyard arranged by the prince believes that it is safe." ”

"Really?" Yuwang's eyes lit up.

Joyful like a child, this expression made Jing Yi, who was Princess Yu, couldn't help but chuckle, and then nodded solemnly.

"Okay, good...."

After saying a few good things, King Yu himself didn't know what he was happy about.

After King Yu left, Beiming came over to pass the word, saying that Gu Qingyan had rested, and he would come to Xu Shaolin and them to discuss matters when he woke up.

Baili Mo explained to Beiming: "Don't go out yet, guard Qingluan Courtyard, someone is coming at the girl." ”

"Yes." Beiming responded, and then returned to Qingluan Courtyard, guarding under the corridor.

"Xidu, tell me, what else did you find out?"

If Xi Jue didn't have any definite clues, he wouldn't have come to talk back to Bailimo with such certainty, but because King Yu was here just now, there were some things on the rivers and lakes, and they still didn't want King Yu to participate.

Xi Jue stepped forward and said: "The subordinates found out that the people who came to the city to inquire about the news of the four girls are not people who have crossed paths with the four girls, they should not be familiar with the four girls. ”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked passers-by about Gu Qingyan's news.

"She doesn't go to trouble others, but she lets trouble find it?"

Zong Yue questioned, he was suddenly curious, what kind of person with no eyes had to hit this south wall.

"There are all kinds of information and rumors coming in the rivers and lakes, and there are not nothing about Yan'er."

Baili Mo said, let alone Gu Qingyan, even everyone who is present now will appear in the topics discussed by others from time to time.

Gu Qingyan is more prominent than them, it is nothing more than because he killed Chu Yushu of the Cangshan faction before, and not long after, he killed the juniors who were usually challenged by the Cangshan faction.

After killing the female disciple of Mrs. Yuexia, Rong Yue also poisoned Mrs. Yuexia, a person who also used poison, and I don't know if it can be solved now.

Not long ago, he was furious and issued a Vermilion Bird Order to the City of No Return, and these several things were connected together, which was enough to make the sects and alliances of all the large and small sects in the rivers and lakes have all kinds of uneasiness about this woman wearing a mask and being ruthless.

"Childe, the news is here."

As they spoke, a secret guard appeared and handed him a note.

This is the news that has just come from the secret pile.

"Someone is on the black market, bidding 100 taels of gold to buy the lives of four girls."

Xi Duan's voice was cold to freezing point, not to mention the expressions of everyone present after hearing these words.

"Xidu, send a message back to Yuhualou, before dawn tomorrow, I want to know which black market this news came from."

Baili Mo said coldly, even if it is a secret black market, he can still pick it out for him and let it see the sun.

"Holly, you personally lead people to turn over Jicheng, tonight, do it."

Xu Shaolin instructed, Gu Qingyan has not hidden his whereabouts since he came out of the Hidden Sword Gate, this way should have provoked a lot of people, or many people are now on the way to hear the wind.

After all, the temptation of the interests of the golden hundred taels and the temptation of fame after killing Gu Qingyan are extremely coveted.

Han Yan looked at the broken sword with cold eyes, he always felt that things were not so simple.

"I'll check this broken sword." Han Yan said coldly.

Xu Shaolin nodded, explained to Han Yan the base of the dark pile in Jicheng, and let him go out.

Holly and Xiduel also went out separately, leaving Xu Shaolin and the three of them, and tacitly glanced at the chess game that was not over.

"Let's prepare separately, Yan'er will deal with Ye Jinliang's wedding tomorrow, let's take care of her back." Xu Shaolin said in a deep voice.

"I'll go out." Baili Mo is concise and to the point, he wants to walk around this Jicheng in person.

"Okay, you guys, I'll leave it all here." Zongyue Road.

The three of them plus Han Yan are Gu Qingyan's backing, so he is the last guarantee for all of them.

The three of them glanced at each other, went back to their rooms, and after a while, they went out one after another with their own people.
