Chapter Ninety-Eight: Assassination
The screams and crashing sounds coming from the room constantly stimulated Gu Huanyi and made her burst into tears.
Li Congxin covered her ears, took Gu Huanyi aside, and comforted: "This situation is not urgent, I have to believe that he will slowly get better." ”
Gu Huanyi nodded and said, "But my brother's current situation is really not suitable to go back to Beijing for trial......
Li Congxin said: "Don't worry, when I entered the city, I received a letter from the old Jinge, and the emperor was very happy to learn that your brother was alive. ”
Gu Huanyi burst into tears and laughed, and after a little thought, he knew that things were going so smoothly, and Li Congxin's planning was indispensable.
"You've said a lot for my brother, right? You are so obviously biased, will the emperor have an opinion about you? ”
Li Congxin shook his head and said: "Compared with a person's merits and demerits, life and death, the emperor attaches more importance to the country. Xuan Guo sent troops to Beiyi because of your brother's imprisonment, and his division is famous and a righteous army. Not only can he solve the threat of Beiyi, but he can also borrow him to rectify the military affairs in the north that have been chaotic for two years. For the emperor, his survival is beneficial and harmless. As long as your brother does not offend the emperor's rebellion, the emperor will not embarrass him. ”
Gu Huanyi breathed a sigh of relief, still grateful to Li Congxin.
Recalling the trip to Beiyi, in the time of coming and going for half a month, it was almost Li Congxin who rescued Gu Jiayi by himself.
He designed to find Gu Jiayi's whereabouts, personally went to prison to persuade him, used himself as bait to attract the attention of the Beiyi people, and took the risk of cutting off the pursuers.
Thinking of this, Gu Huanyi's eyes turned red, and he said, "Although you always tell me that we are one, you are doing any dangerous and difficult things." I came to Beiyi and didn't do anything, so I feel guilty. ”
Li Congxin pinched her red nose and said with a smile: "Guilty of what? You have a good eye to find such a good helper as Zheng Qing, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have done things so smoothly; And you also took the risk to save me, if you hadn't attracted the attention of the enemy soldiers, Uncle Shi and Hu Shen would not have found a chance to break through the encirclement to save me. Don't be presumptuous. ”
Although she knew that Li Congxin was comforting her, Gu Huanyi still felt a lot better, and said awkwardly: "You will make me happy......"
Li Congxin hugged her and said, "I'm happy when you're happy." ”
Gu Huanyi's heart was so warm that he was reluctant to say: "If my brother doesn't have to go to the capital to cooperate with the investigation, I want to stay with him in Liangzhou for a few more days." ”
Li Congxin will not stay in Liangzhou for a long time, and after Li Hongye comes to Liangzhou, he will return to the capital after he and Li Hongye explain what happened to Beiyi.
Li Congxin said worriedly: "I still suggest that you take your brother into Beijing together." There is about to be war on the border, the situation is turbulent and unsafe, and Wan Yan is really obsessed with your brother, so it is hard to guarantee that she will not sneak into Liangzhou. And a change of environment will be more beneficial to your brother's recovery. ”
Gu Huanyi felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he said, "When my brother is sober, I will discuss with him." ”
At night, Gu Jiayi, who was ill, struggled to exhaustion and finally calmed down.
Zheng Qing and Cheng Zhi, who had been guarding him, finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to rest for a while.
Gu Huanyi beckoned the servants of the Gu family to clean and change Gu Jiayi's clothes, and personally fed him porridge to replenish his strength.
Gu Jiayi watched his sister worry about him, hung his head and said softly, "Brother, I'm sorry for you." ”
Gu Huanyi shook his head with tears: "You didn't feel sorry for me, I don't blame you for all this, if it were me, I would not be as strong as you." ”
Li Congxin once told her that in her previous life, she was fed cold ice by Li Chengxu, and she committed suicide because she couldn't bear the torture, she could imagine how uncomfortable Gu Jiayi was at this moment.
Those who dare to live are the real warriors.
"Brother, before my mother died, I was told to live no matter what difficulties I encountered. I did it, and you have to do it. ”
Gu Jiayi closed his eyes, thinking about the 80,000 spiritual seats in the Righteous and Brave Temple and the immortal candles that were like a vast sea of fire, and hatred gradually grew in his heart.
And this hatred that has been suppressed for two years has also become the motivation for him to live at the moment.
"Sister, don't worry, I will live until the day when I slash the enemy!"
As soon as the words fell, a shattering sound suddenly came, and four black-clothed people broke in through the front and rear windows, and the snowy swords approached the Gu brothers and sisters.
Gu Jiayi dragged Gu Huanyi on the side of the bed, stuffed her in the corner of the bed, and then picked up the small bench next to the bed and blocked the head.
Gu Huanyi quickly pulled out the short sword he wore in his boots and threw it to Gu Jiayi.
"Brother, catch it!"
After Gu Jiayi got the weapon, he was no longer passive, but after two years of waste, coupled with the energy of his torture exhausted by the cold ice scattering, he could not repel the assassin.
With an idea, he reflexively kicked over the lampstand on the table, and the room was plunged into darkness.
There were six people crammed into the not spacious room, and the assassins could hardly identify their targets and companions, and their movements became sluggish, but as long as Gu Jiayi guarded his sister behind him, he could let go of his hands and feet to slash the assassins in front of him.
In addition, he has been imprisoned for the past two years, and his night vision is better than that of ordinary people, and for a while, he forced the assassin not to come forward.
In a moment's hesitation, one of the Assassins took out the fire breaker, blew it on, and threw it on the bed, quickly setting the silk on fire.
Gu Huanyi's side was on fire, and she panicked to put out the fire, inevitably screaming.
Gu Jiayi looked back distractedly, and was immediately caught by the assassin, and stabbed a sword in the waist.
Gu Jiayi sat down on the bed, and several sharp blades stabbed at him!
Gu Huanyi subconsciously pounced on his brother......
Between the lightning and flint, several gold bills shot through the window, piercing the Assassin's temple.
In the muffled sound of "clanging", a fishy hot liquid sprayed on Gu Huanyi's body, making her tremble incessantly.
The assassin's body fell to the side of the bed, and Yu Wen's arm was on Gu Huanyi's lap, and in the dark, Gu Huanyi hugged Gu Jiayi and screamed.
Gu Jiayi's waist was bleeding, he sat up strongly, kicked away the corpse next to him for his sister, and asked nervously, "Where are you hurt?" ”
Gu Huanyi shook his head in a panic and said, "No, no ......"
A fire lit up outside the house, and Liu Pei led people to arrive with torches.
Li Congxin entered the room with a gloomy face, pulled up Gu Huanyi on the bed to look at it a few times, and helped her wipe off the plasma stained next to her cheek, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yang Xin, quickly bandage Gu Shaoshuai's wounds, Liu Pei, immediately impose martial law and investigate the identity of the assassin."
The crowd received the order and acted quickly.
Li Congxin pulled the panicked Gu Huanyi and walked out, Gu Huanyi was so frightened that his feet were a little weak, and he staggered two steps.
Li bent down from the heart and carried her out of the house directly.
Gu Huanyi's hair was stained with plasma, and the fishy smell lingered on the tip of her nose, making her very uncomfortable.
She had just caught a glimpse of the assassin whose brain had been pierced, and her brain burst out, and she felt sick and vomit at the thought of this.
