Chapter 119: Royal Hunting Day
The other party didn't dare to respond, just kept nodding his head, and then left.
"Gu Xiqian, since you want to leave so much, I don't want you to go!" Gu Miaoxuan sneered.
At night, when the subordinate sneaked towards Gu Xiqian's room, he saw a man in black appear in front of him.
"Ahh
Before the other party could scream, I saw the man in black stretch out his hand and stab the other party's throat with a sword, and the sound that just shouted out was like a kite with a broken string, and disappeared after a while.
I saw that the other party fell to the ground and struggled for a while, and then there was no movement, and the man in black went over to probe his breath, and after making sure that the other party was dead, he slowly pulled down the mask.
"I knew that you wouldn't be so peaceful, Gu Xiqian, now, I still see what you should do?" Gu Miaoxuan looked at the door of Gu Xiqian's room and said.
Although she really wanted to push the door in and kill her while Gu Xiqian was asleep, it was very close to the Royal Hunting Festival now, and any problem would cause very big trouble, so after hesitating at the door for a while, she turned around and left.
"This time, I will let your little life stay for a while, and next time, I must take your life myself!"
The next day, when I saw that Xiangwangfu was having breakfast, Mu Chuan came to visit with a generous gift.
"It's the prospective brother-in-law who is here, come, sit." Gu Rongzhi on the side greeted Mu Chuan politely.
"Lord Xiang... No, it should be a father-in-law now. Makikawa saluted.
"You are not married yet, and I can't afford this title." King Xiang took a sip of porridge and said vaguely.
Gu Miaoxuan, who was on the side, saw her father talking like this, and also said good things about Mu Chuan, King Xiang snorted a little impatiently, and continued to eat breakfast.
Gu Xiqian looked at them like this, and felt a kind of disgust in her heart, and even wanted to vomit out what she had just eaten.
After breakfast, Gu Xiqian and King Xiang went out because of the Royal Hunting Festival, Gu Rongzhi looked at the two of them having something to talk about, so they left with each other.
"What was the urgency you told me last night?" Makikawa asked anxiously.
"That's right, I was last night..."
After listening to Miao Xuan talk about what happened at that time, Mu Chuan sneered, "Do they still want to leave Nanyue Country with such means?" I think it's cold when they can't even get out of the capital. ”
Gu Miaoxuan couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw him so confident, Mu Chuan said that this was a secret and did not say it, after all, the person in front of him, whether it was means or scheming, was much more powerful than himself, if he didn't have a handle in his hands, he would also want to kill her to relieve his hatred.
However, now that the Royal Hunting Festival is approaching, he needs to find a way to hold Gu Xiqian's footsteps back.
On the other side, Mo Xuanyin, who went back to Yunnan Kingdom, was thinking of a way to bring Gu Xiqian over, but when he told his father yes his thoughts, he was rejected coldly.
"What are you talking about, you want to bring the Ronghui County Lord of Nanyue Country over?" The King of Yunnan said with some surprise.
"Yes, Father, she is my official wife, why should I bring her here?"
"Xuanyin, I know you like the county lord, but she is not only your wife, but also the county lord of Nanyue Kingdom, if they are not willing to let him come, what do you want? A person went over to rob it, I don't agree to this matter! The king of Yunnan waved his hand and motioned for him to dispel this thought.
Mo Xuanyin was speechless for a moment, because with his words alone, there was no way to bring her out, but he also received the news of the spies' return, and now that Mu Chuan has become a celebrity next to the emperor, it will be a matter of time before Gu Xiqian is dealt with, so it is even more urgent for Gu Xiqian to come out.
"Father, can't you help me when I have worshipped with her? That's your daughter-in-law! Mo Xuanyin pleaded.
"Don't tell me this, I don't know what you think? Don't talk about it anymore, so be it! The king of Yunnan responded coldly.
Thinking that the biggest backer would not help him, but Mo Xuanyin did not give up, even if he was alone, he also thought about giving it a try.
"Since my father is unwilling to help me, even if I am the only one left, I will go!" After saying that, he turned and left.
"You... You unfilial son! The king of Yunnan covered his chest and pretended to be in pain.
The queen on the side immediately stroked the chest of the king of Yunnan and comforted him, and also said to Mo Xuanyin: "Don't worry about it, after all, your identities are different, and your father is also old, don't let him be stimulated." ”
Mo Xuanyin paused for a moment, but only for a moment, and then left the hall without looking back.
The king of Yunnan sighed, the child is older, and he is not disciplined by himself, and he can't help but sigh.
Leaving the main hall, Mo Xuanyin returned to his room and began to pack up, preparing to leave for Nanyue Kingdom.
Liuyun on the side watched Mo Xuanyin cleaning up, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Your Royal Highness, do you really want to go back? You know, you don't have a helper now, and if you go back alone, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky. ”
"I know, but I don't mind taking a risk for her sake!"
Liuyun laughed, looked at him and said, "It's a blessing for the county lord to have a husband like you, although my martial arts are not as superb as His Royal Highness the Prince, but if His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't mind, can you take me with you?" I also want to bring the county lord back to Yunnan. ”
Mo Xuanyin sighed a little, but she didn't expect that after going through so much, in the end, only she was willing to help herself, even if she was willing to help herself.
"I appreciate your kindness." After saying that, he packed up his baggage and left the room.
In addition to Wang Chenghou, I saw Mo Xuanyin looking at the building behind him, and couldn't help but sigh, and at this time, Liuyun also rode to his side.
"His Royal Highness, please take me with you and bring the county lord back!"
Mo Xuanyin laughed, "Let's go!" ”
A few days later, the Royal Hunting Festival began, and Wei Zimo, as the general's mansion, naturally had to arrange the surrounding guards, but Mu Chuan noticed that Wei Zimo liked Gu Xiqian a long time ago, so he thought that if Gu Xiqian really left according to the plan, he would definitely take the initiative to send her back, and the situation would be difficult to control at that time.
After the worship ceremony, the emperor had just announced the start of the hunt, when he saw Mu Chuan walking up with a man in black.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to repay!" Makikawa said loudly.
Everyone looked at the man in black in Mu Chuan's hand, and immediately looked at each other, guessing the identity of the other party.
"No, how can there be assassins here?"
"That's it? Who the hell sent this! ”
"Makikawa, can you explain what's going on?" The emperor waved his hand.
I saw Mu Chuan take off the other party's mask, and they hadn't seen the people inside, and Gu Xiqian on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Why would a self-arranged assassin be discovered?
Thinking of his own plan, he originally waited for the hunt to go on for a certain time, and the assassins who were ambushed in the shadows would come out to attack the emperor, and then he helped the emperor to resist the attack and then took the opportunity to leave, and then took the opportunity to leave the capital, and the assassin himself discussed with Wei Zimo and arranged a route to retreat.
However, all these perfect plans came to naught when Makikawa brought people in.
"Your Majesty, this is the assassin I caught in General Wei's place, which shows that General Wei is not doing things well!" Mu Chuan looked at Wei Zimo and said.
Wei Zimo immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding, you must know that there have always been some hunters in the royal hunting ground who have sneaked in to hunt, and the other party may also take the opportunity to sneak in and ambush, pretending to be hunters of assassins." ”
Wei Zimo's excuse gave the emperor a reason to exempt him, but when Mu Chuan's eyes looked over, he saw that the emperor suddenly coughed a few times and said: "General Wei, you are responsible for the safety of the hunting ground, and now there is such a thing, whether it is a hunter or an assassin, you are responsible for this matter, come and take it down!" ”
Seeing the soldier take Wei Zimo down, Gu Xiqian looked at him with some embarrassment, and he also shook his head slightly at himself, obviously the next thing is to rely on himself.
However, thinking of Wei Zilan in the Wei Mansion, now Wei Ziyi obviously also intended to target the Xiangwang Mansion, and Mu Chuan also discovered his intentions, if he left now, Wei Zilan's safety would be in danger.
"Your Majesty, there is something strange in this matter." Gu Xiqian stood up and knelt down.
"County Lord, this matter is big, no matter what, it is not strict enough, this is a bad place, if something happens, this hunt naturally does not have a good sign, this is a big taboo for the national fortune." The emperor explained.
Looking at the assassin behind him, Gu Xiqian was a little helpless, and wanted to plead a few more words, but Mu Chuan said: "Your Majesty, if an assassin tries to assassinate, whether it is a hunter or not, it is a capital crime to break in during the Royal Hunting Festival." ”
Watching Mu Chuan try to put people to death, Gu Xiqian was a little unbearable, after all, it was human life.
"Your Majesty, now that I have just finished the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, if I die now, I am afraid it is an ominous omen, it is better to take this person into custody and wait for the end of the hunting festival to be decided, so that the auspicious time will not be missed, and the emperor's benevolent name will be spread far and wide, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?"
The emperor hesitated, as if what Gu Xiqian said made sense, so he decided to take the assassin into custody, and as for Wei Zimo, he waited for the verdict after the hunting festival was over.
However, for Gu Xiqian, her plan has been disrupted, and more importantly, Wei Zimo's matter has not been expected by her.
Mu Chuan returned to his seat, looked at Gu Xiqian's embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Well, now she can't help it, right?" Gu Miaoxuan on the side said.
"Next, it's time to think about how to deal with them."
And King Xiang, who was on the side, couldn't help but sweat for her.
