Chapter 5: The Assassins

Back in the courtyard, Li'er was watering the flowers in the yard, looking at Chu Tian back in surprise, and said, "Little, Miss, you got up so early, I didn't even know you went out." ”

Chu Tian took two steps and turned back to Li'er and said, "Eh, that's right." You go to the sedan chair I sat in on the night I got married, look for my box, and bring it to my room. ”

Li'er nodded blankly.

Back in the room, Qiao'er was already waiting on her bed. The cat's hair spread out on the bed, and Chu Tian pushed her to the ground in disgust.

Qiao'er meowed, and her voice was full of unhappiness.

Chu Tian glared at her and said, "I just caught a glimpse of you outside the door, did you hear it?" ”

Qiao'er lazily propped up her waist and said, "Yes." And I'm guessing you're going to take the initiative and make a trip to the General's Mansion tonight. You still want me to go to the General's Mansion to find out the terrain so that you can do it. ”

Chu Tian grabbed Qiao'er's tail, squinted his eyes and looked at her, "Then you don't hurry up." I can't wait to go to the General's Mansion now. I hate this ghost so much that I want it to go away now, immediately, immediately. ”

Qiao'er wagged her tail and wanted to escape from Chu Tian's hands: "You have to be prepared, I don't think you may be able to kill this resentful soul." ”

Chu Tian held his tail and didn't mean to let go, and continued: "If he could easily kill me, shouldn't he have come to me a long time ago?" Moreover, Xiao Wei is the prince's person, and Hua Nian also said that Xiao Wei is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and greedy for glory. I think the prince is behind this. But the Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, so I can only go to the General's Mansion first to find out some news. ”

Qiao'er shook her head, felt that Chu Tian made sense, nodded, and then lay on the table.

Chu Tian pinched Qiao'er's tail and said, "You still don't go." ”

Qiao'er was in pain and meowed: "Then you grab my tail, how can I go?" Moreover, why are you suddenly in a hurry today? ”

Chu Tian let go of Qiao'er's tail, and said with a hint of anxiety in his eyes: "Because I remembered something." Qingyue's name is already in the book of life and death, but Qingyue has never crossed the Nai He Bridge, and no one cares about it for a short time, but after a long time, maybe hell will chase her life to claim Qingyue's life. That's when it was a bit of a problem. ”

When Qiao'er heard the pursuit, she immediately sat up: "How did I forget this." When the time comes, the pursuit of life will come, and it will also perform its own duties, and it is not clear. Hey, we really should find the ghosts as soon as possible. I'm going to the General's Palace. With that, Qiao'er flew out of the window.

"Miss, the box is here." It's the voice of the child.

"Come in."

Li'er came in and closed the door, looked at the window where Qiao'er left and said, "Miss, a white cat jumped out just now." Didn't you use to be the most afraid of cats and dogs? ”

Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't been afraid since I was poisoned and walked away from the ghost gate, and I still want to adopt this little wild cat." ”

Li'er looked at Chu Tian incredulously.

"You put the box here, and you're good to go. It's okay not to bother me. ”

Li'er nodded, put down the box and said, "Yes, Miss." After saying that, he wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a moment and went out without saying more.

Chu Tian looked at the box and hesitated for a while, then put the box on the cabinet on the side. Chu Tian was a little curious about the story of that fan, but Mandala Hua could only use it once a day, and she was going to sneak into the General's Mansion tonight, and she would inevitably use it at that time, so she didn't use that fan for the time being.

=====

At night, the street lights are sparse and the voices of people fade away. In the general's mansion, there was peace.

Chu Tian has lived for thousands of years, although he is not a gifted martial arts wizard, but because of these thousands of years of cultivation, his natural body method and skill are still far beyond ordinary people. Sneaking into the general's mansion quietly was easy for her.

According to Qiao'er's drawing, she quickly groped for Xiao Wei's study. There were plenty of lights in the study, but there was no one. Chu Tian gently opened the door of Xiao Wei's study, quickly entered, and then slowly closed the door.

Xiao Wei's study is not so much a study as an antique room, with only one bookshelf in the room, only slightly larger than a door, and it is also full of antiques. The furnishings in the study are full of valuables, what dragon boat sandalwood chairs, Wanli glazed cups, and even the inkstone on the table is jade and jasper, which is worth a lot of money, Chu Tian shook his head, such a comparison, Xiao Wei is more like a prince than Zhixi.

Chu Tian looked at it, except for the beams of this study, there was no other suitable place to hide. However, Chu Tian had already made a plan, if he was discovered, he would escape lightly, and how could mortals catch up with her.

After looking around, Chu Tian stopped in front of the bookcase, she held her breath and faintly heard the sound of talking. She put her ear to the bookcase, and sure enough, it turned out that the bookcase was a door, and there was a darkroom inside, and there were people in the darkroom.

She couldn't hear the people inside clearly, so she simply jumped onto the beam, found a comfortable position, and lay on the beam. Anyway, the people inside will come out sooner or later, and when Xiao Wei is alone, just interrogate him again.

When Chu Tian felt that he was about to fall asleep on the beam, Xiao Wei came out, and there was another person who came out with him, Chu Tian looked at it and almost fell off the beam. What came out with Xiao Wei was his father, Qin Xiang!

This, could it be that Qin Xiang is a member of the prince's party?!

Chu Qian watched Qin Xiang leave the study. Xiao Wei returned to the desk, relieved, but his brows did not stretch.

Chu Tian quickly jumped down from the beam of the room, stared into Qin Xiang's eyes and said, "Manzhu Shahua." ”

Qin Xianggang's pupils, dilated by fright, instantly lost their expression. Chu Tian immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Why did Qin Xiang come to you?" ”

"Qin Xiang came to ask me if I poisoned the Seventh Prince's wedding wine."

Hearing this answer, Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Why did you meet with Qin Xiang in the dark room?" ”

"We've always met in the darkroom. The things we discussed were all related to rebellion, and it was safe to meet in the darkroom. ”

Chu Tian couldn't stand on his feet in an instant, how could this still involve rebellion: "What kind of rebellion?" ”

"Qin Xiang and I have both followed the prince for many years, I am in the light, and he is in the dark. Now, the emperor feels that the crown prince is acting too radically and intends to abolish the prince, and we have no way out. had to help the prince plot to usurp the throne and seize power. ”

Hearing this, Chu Tian shuddered and asked, "Did you send someone to poison the Seven Princes' wine?" ”

"Not me. I never planned to poison the Seven Princes. ”

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, and said a little anxiously: "Isn't it who you are?" ”

"I don't know."

Chu Tian felt that he had a little headache, could it be that the housekeeper himself wanted to assassinate the Seven Princes and Qingyue. Chu Tian paced back and forth, unable to figure out his head. Suddenly he thought of something, and then asked, "Then what is your plan to rebel now?" ”

"On the sixth day of the next month, during the prince's birthday banquet, besiege the princes and assassinate the emperor."

Chu took a breath, this is the end of the month, and there is not much time left, and asked, "Tell me more details." ”

Before Chu Tian could speak, he heard footsteps gradually approaching, and then looked at Xiao Wei and said, "Shut up." ”

The footsteps stopped at the door of the study, and said softly: "Husband, can the visitor leave?" ”

Chu Tian clenched his fists and shook his head helplessly, the spell could not control two people at the same time,

At the moment of snapping his fingers, Chu Tian broke out of the window. There was a crisp sound, and I don't know if it smashed the vase or the plate on the table. Chu Tian had no time to take care of it.

"Ahh There are assassins, there are assassins! Catch the assassins! The screams of the General's Lady instantly woke up the entire General's Mansion.

Chu Leanfei quickly stepped over the two roofs and came out over the wall. Leaving the boiling General's Mansion behind. Although basically no one followed her, she still flew all the way to the small forest outside the city as agreed with Qiao'er, and changed into the clothes that Qiao'er had brought in her mouth.

Subsequently, he returned to the mansion of the Seven Princes as if nothing had happened.
