Chapter 478: The Assassin
When Gu Yu came out of the temple, his whole body was shaking, as if his soul had been sucked away, leaving a walking corpse, barely maintaining his previous movements.
Xu Anan hurriedly went over to help him, and as soon as Gu Yu saw Xu Anan, he glared at her fiercely.
Xu Anan hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean it! It's really that the threshold of your family's temple is a little too high, right? ”
"Don't you look at the road?" Gu Yu pointed at Xu An'an and said angrily: "And! It's obviously your fault, why am I being punished? ”
Xu Anan also felt that at this point, the old man in the temple did a great job!
Not only did she not get angry with her, but she didn't embarrass her, and when the bottle was cleaned up, she got up and waited outside.
Xu Anan asked in a low voice: "Then the Panlong bottle is not expensive, right?" I saw that there was a new one, exactly the same, wholesale, right? ”
Gu Yu glared at Xu An'an again, he didn't want to talk to her anymore, today was really a blessing to her, those old men were also trained hard, Gu Yu still felt that there were eight hundred flies buzzing in his ears.
Gu Yu said that he didn't want to take Xu Anan anymore, he was really convinced, he was afraid, and he admitted defeat.
But Xu Anan said that he would follow, and there was also a Lin Mi to help, Gu Yu had no chance to refuse if he wanted to.
The two staged a battle of wits and courage, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to sacrifice to the sky.
All the civil and military officials followed the emperor to Qianshan to worship the sky, Xu Anan naturally mixed in, Gu Yu was originally going to drive people down, after all, today is different from the past, if something went wrong before, Gu Yu can probably still cover it.
But today's scene is too big, there are many people, and Xu Anan is a wanted fugitive, if this is discovered, no one will be able to protect her.
But Xu Anan wanted to take advantage of this time to see Gu Jing, but Gu Yu couldn't stop him, so he had to tell Xu Anan in the third place, don't cause trouble.
The team to worship the sky was huge, and it had already set off before dawn, Xu Anan was still dressed as a little follower and followed Gu Yu.
She saw Gu Jing's carriage in the team, but there were many people, and Xu Anan didn't want to greet Gu Jing, and she didn't know how Gu Jing was doing these days.
Listening to Gu Yu, the court is now divided into two factions, one faction thinks that Gu Jing has bad intentions and should be arrested and interrogated and convicted.
On the other hand, most of them are heartfelt ministers, who think that this cannot be done by Gu Jing, and advocate a good investigation and not wronged Gu Jing.
On both sides, your impeachment comes to me for impeachment, and there is a lot of quarrel in the court, and Gu Jing is also in an embarrassing state of imprisonment for the time being because of this.
On the way to Qianshan, Xu Anan lifted the curtain, peeked out, and found many people in ragged clothes on both sides of the road.
Gu Yu opened his mouth to explain: "These are all refugees from the affected places. ”
As he spoke, Gu Yu let out a long sigh and said to the people outside: "Take some food and clothing for them." ”
Is the disaster already so severe? Xu Anan asked, "Didn't the imperial court send people to relieve the disaster?" How can there be any refugees? ”
Gu Yu glanced at Xu Anan and said, "The treasury doesn't have much money, just send people for disaster relief, but they can't allocate silver taels, and they can't do it." ”
Xu Anan was surprised: "Is the imperial court already so moneyless?" There is no money for disaster relief, so where did the money come from? ”
Gu Yu looked like he didn't want to say anything more, but Xu Anan figured it out a little.
This is taking the few money from the treasury and making such a joke to worship the sky, this emperor is really not very good.
It was almost time to reach the dry mountains, and there were no refugees on either side of the road.
After all, the emperor will sacrifice to the heavens later, and if a few refugees run out to make trouble, it will be over.
Xu Anan also got out of the carriage, followed behind Gu Yu, walked inside, and looked at the altar on the top of the hundreds of steps where the three animals were enshrined.
The steps will be full of civil and military officials, Gu Yu and Gu Jing will stand in front of the hundred officials, Xu Anan saw that the emperor and the queen mother had already stepped up to the altar.
Xu Anan is not qualified to stand on the steps, he can only stand at the end of the line, but even if he is so far away, Xu Anan can feel that the queen mother's face seems to be covered with a layer of black gas.
It seems that the Queen Mother is really not in good health, even if she goes to the Thousand Buddha Temple, she is not relieved, and the whole person is thinner than when Xu Anan saw her last time, and she seems to be going to fall down at any time by those gorgeous clothes and decorations.
The drum sounded, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky began, and Xu Anan knelt down with everyone, not daring to look up again.
The ceremonial official read a long and awkward list of prayers, but Xu Anan didn't remember a word.
After that, the emperor continued to speak for a long time, and Xu Anan listened to it drowsy, like when the school held a conference, the director of academic affairs finished speaking, the vice principal answered, and finally the principal came to a long summary, which was extremely boring.
In the end, the emperor toasted to Shangcang, and then waited for the hundred officials to kneel together, which was considered to be completed.
But just as the emperor spilled the wine, a gust of evil wind blew, and a dark cloud drifted over the originally clear sky, covering the sun, and suddenly there was an illusion that God had appeared.
As soon as the wind blew, the suppressed prayers were blown away by the wind and fell all over the ground.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came: "Death to the Dog Emperor!" ”
I don't know when, more than a dozen assassins were mixed in on both sides of the altar, and they were holding their knives and slashing towards the emperor.
Screams rang out, and everyone was so frightened by this turn that several adults rolled down the steps.
Xu Anan glanced at Gu Jing from a distance, and saw that he was fighting with two assassins, Xu Anan didn't know who pushed him, and almost fell to the ground.
This change also caught Xu Anan off guard, she and Gu Jing's plan obviously didn't have this link!
Who arranged the assassins? The person in charge of clearing the scene is too negligent, right? There were more than a dozen black-clothed guys alive, but they didn't see it?
Xu Anan followed the crowd to hide in a safe place, and then raised his eyes and kept staring at the altar.
The Queen Mother fainted the moment the assassins appeared, and Gu Yu and a few guards guarded his imperial brother's side and fought with those assassins.
Xu Anan looked at Gu Jing again, the two assassins entangled Gu Jing, but they didn't hurt him, they only didn't let him get close to others, with Gu Jing's skills, as long as he wanted to, these two assassins couldn't hold him back.
But he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, who sent these assassins, and what did they want to do here?
Suddenly, a person appeared behind Gu Jing, and the blade in his hand flashed with cold light.
"Be careful!"
