Chapter 290: Returning the Favor
In the backyard of the Gao Family Inn, there were more than a dozen guards in strong suits, and the bright moonlight sprinkled all over their bodies, lining them as majestic as sculptures.
Bright light shines through the bright paper on the ground in front of the window, and the silhouette of a man can be clearly seen on the window.
"The subordinates are incompetent, please forgive the master." A woman in a nightdress fell to her knees on one knee and hung her head in shame.
Xiao Yunchang looked at her expressionlessly: "Why are you so careless, you can still let people chase here." Didn't you even notice you still have a tail? ”
The woman said: "The subordinates have always been careful, and they did not dare to come back directly after leaving the Maoguo Mansion, and they went around here for a while outside, and the subordinates can be sure that they are not being followed." ”
"No one is following you, but someone is looking for you, is it still a ghost?" Xiao Yunchang snorted.
The woman bowed her head in shame, and said: "Although the subordinates succeeded in poisoning, they also fought with the people of the Maoguo Mansion, and the prince should pay special attention to that Chu Junlan and definitely not contact her." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Yunchang raised his eyebrows, suddenly bent over and leaned over, pinched the woman's chin with one hand, forcing her to raise her head according to his strength, "Are you jealous?" ”
The woman's appearance is not stunning, but there is an innate charm in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "Childe...... The subordinates didn't dare, the subordinates just fought with Chu Junlan, and found that her martial arts were unfathomable, her blade was a silver needle that could be seen everywhere, specifically aimed at the acupuncture points around the body, and the subordinates didn't get any benefits under her, and they were also injured by her internal force, if it wasn't for the subordinates who attacked her with darts to buy some time, I am afraid she would have been captured alive. ”
"How can such a thing happen?" Xiao Yunchang's hand relaxed, and his expression was in a trance, "Even you are not her opponent?" ”
"My subordinates are ashamed." The woman bowed her head again.
Xiao Yunchang sat on the side, his expression was a little sluggish, thinking back to what had just happened, and then thinking about Chu Junlan's smile when he spoke, his mood was very complicated.
At this moment, the kneeling woman's face suddenly changed, and she suddenly got up to protect Xiao Yunchang, and at the same time, there was a slight noise and fighting sound from the courtyard of the inn, and then the door was kicked open with a "bang", and dozens of black-clothed masked people broke in like lightning.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yunchang was shocked, and looked out through the open door, and saw that the dozen or so guards he brought had fallen to the ground at this time, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
His face turned pale with fright, and his guards fell down a door, but he didn't make a sound, and he didn't even notice it!
Xiao Yunchang's heart jumped to his throat, and he pushed the woman forward, wanting to take the opportunity to get out of the door.
But at this moment, a long black-clothed masked man in front of the door came head-on, and clicked three times on him, Xiao Yunchang only felt a block in his chest, and his throat was full of fishy sweetness, and he couldn't breathe, and his eyes were blackened and fell backwards.
"Childe!" The female assassin screamed, only to be held by another man with a dagger to her neck.
"You, who the hell are you! But know who I am, who I am! Xiao Yunchang covered his chest, his eyes were full of resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you hurt me, my father and the emperor will not let you go!" ”
At this time, the man in black with a dagger on the neck of the female assassin said in a deep voice: "You have been ordered to die, and if you do not unlock the cave by noon tomorrow, you will suffocate to death." ”
Xiao Yunchang's eyes widened in horror, he couldn't doubt the words of the man in black, because he already felt that he couldn't breathe well.
"What the hell are you going to do!"
"Hand over the antidote to the prince of Maoguo, if the prince of Maoguo lives, you will live, and if the prince of Maoguo dies, you will die."
The man put away his dagger and waved his hand back. A group of black-clad masked men exited the inn in an orderly manner, and disappeared into the night in a few ups and downs.
"Childe, you, are you okay?" The female assassin helped Xiao Yunchang to his feet.
Xiao Yunchang covered his chest, and he didn't know if it was psychological, he felt that his breathing was getting more and more uncomfortable, and he gasped and said viciously: "Do you see the number of roads!" ”
The female assassin was ashamed and said, "Childe forgive your sins." ”
"Really...... Darn! Xiao Yunchang finally yelled angrily.
After Chu Junlan and Chu Feng returned home, they were discussing countermeasures with Chu Shan, Chu Yuan, and Chu Zhan, when Zi Yan walked in quickly and whispered in Chu Junlan's ear: "Girl, Huo Yeqing just came to deliver a letter, saying that the matter has been resolved, please wait and see what happens." ”
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, looking interested.
Just now, she and Chu Feng were directly invited back to the house by Xiao Xu, and what happened to Xiao Xu was unknown to her.
However, Xiao Xu has always been steady, and it is about Chu Hua's life, Xiao Xu will definitely not be a child's play.
Chu Junlan said: "The eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the two elder brothers, the prince of the world ordered someone to send a message, saying that the matter has been resolved, let us wait and see what happens." ”
"Shizi?" Several people looked at each other.
Chu Shan quipped: "The prince actually went out to participate in this matter, which shows his intentions for his eldest niece." ”
Chu Feng said seriously: "Exactly, the prince came overnight when he got the news, and he was willing to stand up for our family's affairs, he is really a good person." ”
Chu Junlan couldn't cry or laugh, okay, why did the topic turn here.
"Now that the prince has been dealt with, let's wait and see what happens, and wait for the news to see the situation before making a decision, it's not too early. Go and rest first. ”
Everyone nodded, although they were not worried about Chu Hua's situation, it was useless for them to stay here, it was better to recuperate and meet the changes of tomorrow.
A few people glanced at Chu Hua and made sure that he was okay at the moment, so they went back to rest for the time being.
Chu Junlan returned to the side room of the study, and saw that Xu had fallen asleep on the table, so he lightly took a thin shirt and draped it over her shoulders for her, while he sat next to Chu Hua, checking his condition at all times.
There was no sleep all night, and only when the sky was getting brighter that he couldn't resist the sleepiness, Chu Junlan lay on the table and took a nap.
Chu Hua's situation passed overnight and seemed to be somewhat stable. At least the face doesn't look so ugly.
The family got together again, and even Mao Guogong, who had just returned to the Grange, rushed back.
This night, the Duchess of Maoguo didn't know how many tears she secretly shed, and she followed to see Chu Hua, and couldn't help but cry again.
"My son, how can you be so miserable!"
Mao Guogong frowned and grabbed Chu Hua's cold hand, but his mouth was vicious: "It's not that he is disobedient and messes around!" If it weren't in the way, who would! ”
Chu Junlan and Chu Feng glanced at each other, then invited Mao Guogong aside and told him in detail about last night.
Mao Guogong's brows frowned slightly when he heard this, but he was not surprised, but thought for a moment, and then suddenly, his eyes showed a bit of ruthlessness.
Chu Junlan and Chu Feng looked puzzled, and just as they wanted to ask, Chu Zhan rushed in from outside.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
Everyone was taken aback and turned their heads to look.
The Duchess of Maoguo was even more angry: "What's the matter, say it quickly!" ”
