The soldiers of the house looked dazed, "The subordinates don't know, it is the master's order that the housekeeper ordered to convey, let the soldiers of the Sancheng Mansion go and put away the entrances, and the remaining soldiers of the Seventeenth Mansion are guarding the courtyard of the master, let us rotate day and night but never go out of the courtyard." ”

As soon as the Gu family let go, the man hurriedly ran forward to catch up with the team, and then the Gu family really realized the danger of the matter, if it were not for the top priority of the fatal matter, Tang Chengen would definitely not arrange the manpower like this, and the seven manpower were all in his yard, which meant that in fact, Tang Chengen already thought that someone would come to kill him, and even determined that as long as the person wanted to come to the door, the government soldiers would definitely not be able to stop him.

That's why Tang Chengen will control the main power around him, thinking of this, Gu's face instantly changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered Lan Tou, "Go and tell Miss to pack up your things, let's go to my brother now." ”

"But the young lady has already gone out."

"It's out!" Gu Shi was shocked, she grabbed the sleeve of her blue coat and roared like she was about to eat someone, "When did you go out!" ”

"Today, this morning, Gu Shao's son came to find Miss," Lan Tou was so frightened that she knelt down and shrunk under her feet, she didn't know what was wrong, why the good Prime Minister's Mansion became so scary in an instant.

"Why don't you look for it!" Gu roared, Lan Tou hurriedly staggered up and ran out, but he only ran a few steps before being stopped by Gu from behind, "Wait!" ”

Gu Shi thought carefully about what happened below, and found that there were many abnormalities in it, such as never heard of Tang Chengen's enemies who had to take his life before, or never heard of any recent riots in the imperial city, not to mention that Tang Chengen had no real power in his hands for many years, Gu guessed that even for the sake of the court, no one would want to commit murder on the New Year's Day so publicly, and it was under the nose of Duan Jingyi in the imperial city.

While thinking about it, Gu Shi saw that there were not only government soldiers, but all the people in the mansion who had some combat ability were all called by the housekeeper to guard at the gate of Tang Chengen's garden, so that there were fewer people who could go to Tang Nuoqing, and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack just by relying on a few maids around him to find someone.

Gu decided to start from two aspects, she called Lan Tou back and asked her to go to the kitchen to cook a few side dishes that Tang Chengen liked to eat on weekdays, and then called a maid who had no sense of presence by her side on weekdays to go out to find Tang Nuoqing.

"Second lady, aren't we running away?" Lan Tou couldn't understand how the person who was still in a hurry was quiet now.

How can she have Gu's brain spinning fast, not to mention that the first person that Gu thought of at this time was Duan Jingyi, if there was really some enemy chasing and killing her, according to Tang Chengen's personality, she would definitely ask Tang Meng's protection with a handful of snot and tears, after all, this is Duan Jingyi's jurisdiction, if he really made trouble about the killing of the court officials, he would inevitably be scolded by Emperor Duan.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Tang Chengen will not hide at home alone, since it is so abnormal today, it proves that this matter must not be protected by Duan Jingyi, if even the famous His Royal Highness King Yi is powerless, then the Gu family will also let it go, and simply stop running.

Otherwise, even if such a tricky thing runs back to his parents' house, what can he do, the Gu family's military strength and financial resources are far inferior to the Xiangfu, if something really happens to be driven out and killed, the Gu family is afraid that he will die faster in his mother's house, it is better to hide behind the soldiers in the Xiangfu, maybe there is still a chance to survive.

So Gu planned to make a risky move and didn't leave.

She wanted to ask why Tang Chengen was scared like this, and when Gu walked to his yard with the food, Tang Chengen was hiding in the quilt and shivering, he stared at the door in horror for a moment, and there was still a big health care hidden on the wall for many years in the quilt, and his palms were sweating at this time, and the whole person was nervous.

Tang Chengen didn't want to go to Duan Jingyi, but he didn't dare, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would be killed on the way out of the mansion, on the other hand, combined with last night, the assassin seemed to be targeting the royal people, in case the assassin's next target was to challenge Duan Jingyi, then wouldn't he throw himself into the net, not to mention that even if he was a master in the Yi Palace, he would not take the lead in protecting him when the fight started.

So after making some trade-offs and comparisons, Tang Chengen still decided to stay in his own mansion as the last defense.

"Knock knock," the knock sounded coldly, making Tang Chengen tremble, and at the same time, a sharp blade came out of the sheath and trembled in his hand, "What person!" ”

"Master is me," Gu's gentle voice sounded outside, but Tang Chengen did not relax his vigilance at all.

"Are you alone?"

"Yes, only the concubine herself," Gu explained softly with the food, but Rao was still interrogated by Tomson for a long time before he was willing to open the door for her, and even if he opened the door, he didn't feel the slightest calm.

I saw Tang Chengen open a crack in the door slightly, and then pulled Gu's arm and quickly pulled the person into the house, startling Gu's staggering, and the food in his hand was almost buttoned, and after she stood firm, Tang Chengen had already relocked the door, and was holding the shiny blade facing Gu.

"Ah, sir!" Gu Shi was startled, and hurriedly hid behind the table in fright, Tang Chengen seemed to be trying to confirm what was approaching step by step, and then finally forced Gu Shi into a corner under the coercion of the sharp blade, Tang Chengen raised his hand and pulled her face a few times, Gu Shi screamed in shock and pain instantly.

When it was really confirmed that it was Gu who came down, Tang Chengen was relieved, and instead reproached, "What are you doing!" ”

Gu Shi had tears in his eyes, and he was aggrieved, "The concubine thought that the master hadn't eaten yet, and was afraid that you would be hungry, so she sent some food, how could you think that you would treat people like this." ”

Gu Shi is used to using such a means of showing weakness and pretending to be pitiful to win sympathy, but this time it seems to have made a mistake in wishful thinking, she just wanted to lean over weakly and bonelessly when she saw Tang Chengen suddenly raise the sword in his hand again, although this time through the scabbard, Gu Shi was also startled, as if anyone who approached Tang Chengen would be stabbed to death mercilessly.

Gu Shi was startled and immediately stood back in place, she held the handkerchief and pretended to be scared to cover half of her face and pretended to cry, but in fact, a pair of eyes had been staring closely at every change in Tang Chengen's expression, and what she said was getting closer and closer to the real question she wanted to say.

But Tang Chengen replied extremely perfunctory, and even simply shut up and stopped making a sound during the meal, all he was thinking about now was how to conserve his physical strength, in case the assassin really came, how to escape, if he hadn't taken a fancy to the fact that Gu might be able to become his own human shield at a critical moment, he would never have left her noisy in the house for so long.
