Chapter 18: Assassination
Yu Li stood under the roof of the inn for a long time, wandering left and right, very embarrassed to raise his head and lower his head, he really couldn't bear to disturb the beautiful scenery on the roof, after hesitating again and again, he shouted at the sky as if looking up to the sky and roaring, "Third prince, the hour is not early, it's time to eat." ”
When Yu Gu came back to his senses, he lowered his head to look for it, but he had long since disappeared, and then looked up at the starry sky, and found that the hour was not early, Yu Gu stretched his waist, stroked the hair of the herring, and said, "We should go back, they should wait in a hurry, they have to hurry tomorrow, and rest early." ”
This sentence reminded the herring, yes, I have to hurry tomorrow, but where to go? If he didn't go back, the emperor's brother would definitely send someone to find him, and Yu Gu would definitely be in trouble; If you stay by the emperor's brother's side, you will definitely be forced to deal with Yu Gu, but if you marry Yu Gu, it is reasonable not to help your brother deal with Yu Gu.
For the sake of Yu Gu, he can only leave temporarily. I made up my mind, but how to tell Yu Gu?
I wanted to open my mouth several times, but when I saw Yu Gu's happy face, I couldn't bear it, and swallowed the words again and again.
"You're finally back, and we thought you eloped?" Lan Chen looked at the two of them with a spring breeze on their faces, and was full of complaints and was beaten back by Qingyu's eyes, and finally there was only this sentence left.
"It's not big or small, hurry up and get out of the way for me, Lan Chen, you guy, are you not cleaning up." Yu Gu was blocked by Lan Chen at the door, and he was in a dilemma.
Lan Chen reluctantly flashed a crack between the person and the door, and Yu Gu finally came in, and stumbled into Yu Li.
"You guys are really barriers, Yu Li, how can you be in the same league with this guy." Yu Gu said that he was about to go straight to the dinner table, but Yu Li pulled back the collar on the back of his clothes, and said, "Third prince, next time you are like this, you are outside in the wind and snow, let the brothers wait here and starve, I will not be polite." The last sentence is also full of threats.
Yu Gu looked at the grievances of the two of them, so he wanted to calm things down, and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry, two big brothers, let's eat first, you can't get along with me, and don't get along with this big chicken leg." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the chicken leg and gnawed it, extremely bold.
"By the way, Yu Li, how is Gu Bai over there." Yu Gu remembered that there might still be trouble on the fourth floor, and he didn't know if the gang would do it tonight.
"It's a brothel up there, the fish and eyes are mixed, the three of them don't know what they're doing, and they can't see any clues now, so they can only continue to observe secretly." Yu Li reported.
Yu Gu looked at Lan Chen on the side, thought for a while and said, "Lan Chen, how much do you know about this group of people. ”
Lan Chen smiled and didn't answer, lifted the sleeve of his right shirt, and said earnestly, "Let's put it this way, a few of us can join forces and almost deal with one of them." This scar was a gift to me two years ago, when they were still spirits. ”
"Hmph" Yu Gu laughed contemptuously, "Divine soul? These guys are not devils, and the force escalation should not be so fast, and we are not opponents against them combined. ”
"Then I'll go pack my things now, set off overnight, and leave this place." From Ge Luo's words, an inexplicable sense of fear can be clearly heard, after all, there are soul killers on the rivers and lakes, and people and gods are afraid.
Yu Gu waved his hand, stood up and said, "Their tracking ability is not an ornament, and they can't run." If I'm not mistaken, they're coming for me. ”
Lan Chen's brows tightened, as if he had discovered something terrible, and hurriedly ran to the bed to pack up his things, "Princess, hurry up, the Heavenly Demon Lone Star is here, and we can't escape." ”
"Who do you say? You can't go, according to my night observations, it's about to rain, so stay there. Yu Gu said matter-of-factly.
Lan Chen thought that Yu Gu simply wanted them to stay, so he made up a lie, and if he didn't listen to the dissuasion, he would drag the blue fish away.
Yu Gu stepped forward to block the way, and said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll tell you, I didn't want to talk about this matter so quickly." After a pause, he continued, "If you and the herring fish stay, our lives can be saved." ”
Qingyu was stunned when he heard this: "Could it be that the assassin was sent by us Nandu to kill you?" ”
Yu Gu looked at Qingyu, thinking that he didn't want to destroy his image in Qingyu's heart, but now, he can only tell the truth, "Yes, the people from the Law Bureau checked the details of these people at that time, and I didn't deal with them once or twice, but I couldn't find a breakthrough." I asked Lan Chen just now how much he knew, and Lan Chen said that they were royal assassins. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Gu didn't go on, when it comes to this point, it is already obvious that the only person who wants to kill Yu Gu today is Nandu, and anyone can guess it.
"But I don't understand a little, since the emperor of Nandu wants to marry Qingyu to Yucheng, why do you still design such a play?" Yu Li's words hit the core.
Yu Gu looked up at Qingyu again, he knew that what he said next might offend Dao Qingyu, "There should be discord within your Nandu. ”
Lan Chen didn't expect Yu Gu to have such a strong reasoning ability, the politics of Nandu are ironclad in the eyes of outsiders, only a few insiders know that Nandu is only calm on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging in the government and the opposition, and Yu Gu has not yet arrived in Nandu, he can already speculate so accurately, it seems that the Yucheng Emperor is really not arbitrarily assigning marriages, Yu Gu has a great background.
Although Lan Chen is optimistic about Yu Gu and Qingyu, and intends to match them, but in his heart, he is not optimistic about Yu Gu, and through this incident, he can also see that Yu Gu is wise and foolish, so that Lan Chen can't help but admire a little in his heart, but the safety of the princess is still the top priority, "Three princes, you are using the princess's life as a shield." ”
In the face of Lan Chen's questioning, Yu Gu did not hide it, but admitted generously, "It's not wrong for you to say that, but if you say it, then you will underestimate me too much." Although I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I am by no means a coward, you can wait and see what happens when it rains, as for whether to go or stay, I don't force it. ”
Lan Chen looked at the herring's reaction, without the slightest intention of wanting to leave, and pushed the boat down the river and said, "You are still a good man, I am the Deadpool of the herring, and I will only put the safety of the princess first in my eyes, so don't be surprised." ”
"Let's stay, Blue Dust. I just watched the dark clouds drift over one by one on the roof, and it should be raining. Qingyu said lightly, as if he didn't feel the smell of gunpowder between Yu Gu and Lan Chen at all.
Although Lan Chen is a big man, but the caretaker is not a problem at all, the foot washing water has been prepared, the temperature has been tried and served to the herring, and the bed has been neatly cleaned up, silk and satin, and the good materials are against the dazzling luster.
"It's a pity that you are not a maid, you are better than Golo's craftsmanship." Yu Gu touched the delicate silk and sat on the bed, looking begging.
Gloll was not happy to hear this, "How can he compare with me, do you mean that he is like a woman, or am I like a man?" Look at Lan Chen's hand, Qianqian's jade fingers, at first glance, it is pampered. It can only be said that the inn is good. ”
Lan Chen watched Yu Gu take advantage of his inattention, sat on the bed, ran over violently, and drove Yu Gu all over the house with a feather duster.
"We have three chapters of the law, if anyone crosses the line, don't blame me for being unkind." Lan Chen took the feather duster, crossed his hands on his chest and said majestically.
"What three chapters? You don't have to take an inch, you're almost done. Yu Gu lay on the blanket that had been laid on the ground, like a scoundrel, on all fours.
"First, you are not allowed to cross the line." There were four carpets side by side on the ground, and Lan Chen took a feather duster and drew a line on the ground between the bed and the carpet as a dividing line. "Second, Yu Gu, especially you, if you dare to peek at our princess sleeping, I will abolish you."
Yu Gu listened to such a nonsensical request, and retorted, "Such a pervert, you can control my freedom in life, and you still care where my eyes look?" It's okay for you to be reasonable. ”
Looking at Yu Gu who was so flying, Lan Chen became even more energetic, "Third, from now on, Yu Gu must be at least five meters away from the princess, no objection." ”
"Yes, very much." Yu Gu hurriedly got up from the ground, walked to Lan Chen, looked at the blue fish on the bed, and then looked at Lan Chen, "Aren't you being unreasonable?" I'm sleeping in this bed closest to herring tonight, what can you do? ”
As he spoke, he occupied a carpet closest to the main bed, turned his head sideways and squeezed his eyebrows at Qingyu, Lan Chen saw Yu Gu's face full of begging, and angrily dragged the blanket under Yu Gu's body to the farthest corner from the bed.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Yu Gu died and begged to pull back and forth with Lan Chen, and no one would let anyone.
"Don't make a fuss, Lan Chen, come here." The herring fish leaned into Lan Chen's ear and muttered something.
Lan Chen glanced at Yu Gu, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and he also made a throat-cutting action, which made Yu Gu's heart chill, "This kid is becoming more and more presumptuous, and he has threatened me again and again, Qingyu, you have to take care of it." ”
As he spoke, he wanted to run to the herring fish bed unconsciously, but he didn't expect Lan Chen to kill a horse pistol and catch a current "Three princes, what are you doing?" ”
With a little force, Yu Gu was thrown out, tripped over the blanket, and fell on the blanket.
"You have to learn to put yourself in the right place, you know?" Lan Chen said and lay down next to Yu Gu, "Come on, I'll sleep with you tonight." As he spoke, he patted the empty blanket next to him and motioned for Yu Gu to lie down.
"Well, it looks like I'll have to make do with you today." He lay down with his head resting on his hands.
Yu Gu thought about what happened tonight, he hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, and when he saw a few people sleeping soundly, he wanted to breathe outside when he got up, and the quilt was not completely lifted, and he was discovered by Lan Chen.
Yu Gu looked at Lan Chen, who didn't have his eyes open, and shook off Lan Chen's hand fiercely, "You can sleep at ease, I'm just going out to breathe, what I need to guard against is the enemy, not my own people." ”
Lan Chen seemed to have let Yu Gu go, turned over and fell asleep, looked at Yu Gu's back, and thought to himself: If the princess didn't say just now that she didn't have to be too protective of you, she wouldn't have let you out.
