Chapter 232: Assassination
Of course, playing the piano is such a thing, Mingyuexi is not a genius, and it is impossible for her to come easily, so she took advantage of the deep breath to secretly summon Boya to save the scene.
After the song, accompanied by deafening applause, Boya's spirit body walked out of Mingyuexi's body, and dispersed with a faint smile.
The third prince praised loudly, stood up and applauded excitedly, his eyes were full of admiration: "Before, I thought that although the guqin originated from the Celestial Empire, they were all ordinary people who did not understand the sound of the qin. I don't know if Miss Ming has time, but this prince has some questions he wants to ask. β
Mingyuexi was lucky to pass the test, and was secretly relieved, before she could answer the words of the third prince, the seventh princess had already agreed for her.
Gu Yanbai was busy until late at night, and returned to the Hou Mansion tiredly, Fang learned from the maid's mouth that Mingyuexi went to look for him, but he hadn't come yet, so he immediately asked Cheng Yu to go to the palace to check.
Cheng Yu came back for half an hour, and his face was a little hesitant, "Master, the young lady was designed by the seventh princess and taken to the envoy's inn. β
Gu Yanbai's face was visibly cold, a chill lingered around him, his eyes were full of anger, and the green tendons on his fists burst out: "Go!" Go to the inn! β
"Huh? But now it's time......" Cheng Yu was stunned and wanted to dissuade him.
But Gu Yanbai didn't give Cheng Yu a chance to dissuade him at all, and after finishing speaking, he went to the eaves with light skills, tiptoe slightly, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye, when Cheng Yu was about to follow, the door suddenly rang.
At the time of the child, the full moon hung high in the sky.
Gu Yanbai stood on the roof, his body was covered in cold silver moonlight, and his sharp eyes fell on the post house not far away, showing doubts.
A few days ago, the third prince of Guyu Kingdom took the initiative to come to Gu Yanbai and asked him to remove the guards who protected him, saying that he was very relieved of the safety of the capital and believed that nothing would happen.
But the question is, if you can rest assured, why are there guards from the Ancient Fish Country around the inn?
And that's not even the most confusing.
The fifth room on the right side of the third floor is still lit by fire, it is the room where the third prince lives, and vaguely, you can probably see three people in it.
It was already so late, Gu Yanbai's intuition felt that there must be something wrong here.
After thinking about it, a black shadow flashed under the moon, and when he landed again, Gu Yanbai's person was already on the opposite eaves, he moved the tile slightly, and the subtle dark yellow light was refracted in, and Gu Yanbai listened carefully.
"As long as your monarch agrees to cooperate, when this king sits on the throne, the cities in the south of Lingnan will naturally belong to the ancient fish country." The man's lazy and cold voice came, and it seemed to be a little pleasantly drunk.
The third prince was very satisfied with this statement, laughed heartily, and raised the wine glass in his hand: "Prince Rong is so sincere, my father will definitely agree, and I wish us a happy cooperation in advance." β
When Gu Yanbai heard the words 'Prince Rong', his heart set off a wave, in order to hear their next plan clearly, Gu Yanbai simply lifted the tile, who knew that this subtle sound immediately exposed him, and a pair of sharp eyes immediately cast a pair of sharp eyes below, staring at a little light on the roof, and roared: "There are thieves!" Catch him for me! β
Gu Yanbai never thought that the other party's ear power was so good, so he got up and fled in a hurry.
Brush β
The hidden weapon slashed a silver light in the moonlight, and with the bright red bloom, it pierced directly into Gu Yanbai's back, deep into his flesh and skin, Gu Yanbai was caught off guard by the sneak attack, his feet were weak, and he fell to the ground half-kneeling all of a sudden.
Blood flowed down his fingers, soaking the clothes on his back, Gu Yanbai clenched his teeth, the pain in his back implicated his arms and couldn't move normally, as long as he used a little force, the sharp tip of the secret weapon would stir in his body, and the sharp pain would instantly swallow his reason.
"Want to escape? I'm afraid you don't have that life! Someone was already chasing after him, seeing that the other party's long knife was coming towards him, taking his life directly, Gu Yanbai held the long sword in his right hand, and resisted the opponent's long knife to the death, not daring to back down at all.
Bang dang!
The collision of blades made a deafening sound.
He must not let people discover himself, otherwise it will not only be him who will die, but the entire Hou Mansion will be in danger.
Gu Yanbai closed his eyes for a moment, opened them violently, and used all his internal strength to swing a palm towards the other party, bringing up a sharp palm wind, and went straight to the other party's faΓ§ade.
The strong man thought that he had a chance to win, but suddenly his hands shook, and he was shocked by a burst of internal force, and subconsciously retreated.
Gu Yanbai seized this opportunity, withdrew his long sword, and immediately drove away with light skills.
By the time the strong man stabilized his figure, the person had already disappeared, and there was not even a shadow in the night.
The third prince came with his guards, and when he saw that the eavesdroppers were missing, he immediately asked sharply: "Where are the people?" β
The strong man lowered his head, sweated coldly, and knelt down with a plop: "The third prince forgives his sins, but his subordinates are incompetent, let ...... He ran. β
When Prince Rong heard this, his eyes widened angrily: "Chase!" This man must die, and if the news gets out, none of us will want to live! β
Now that the situation is grim, Prince Rong and the third prince's people have chased after him.
Mingyuexi in the house waited anxiously for Gu Yanbai, seeing that he hadn't come back for a long time, she paced in the house restlessly, looking at the night worriedly from time to time, looking forward to Gu Yanbai's news.
She made sense of the third prince and rushed back at night, but Cheng Yu said that Gu Yanbai went to look for her, thinking that he would come back soon after he went, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone for a long time.
was about to let Cheng Yu take a look, but she heard an extremely faint knock on the door, if it weren't for her nervousness, she might not have heard it.
She immediately rushed to the door and opened the door, only to see Gu Yanbai lying on the ground covered in blood, shocked, "Gu Yanbai!" β
The rooms of the inn were crowded with people, but the atmosphere was extremely strange.
Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
Prince Rong's fingertips tapped on the tabletop, his eyes flashing with calculation, while the third prince was anxious, waiting for his reply.
"Lord Wang, you should give an explanation." The third prince was sitting on pins and needles, but he couldn't help but ask.
Prince Rong's gaze fell on the third prince, and he made a decision with a solemn expression: "Set fire!" β
Hearing these two words, the third prince was stunned, and it took a while to react.
The raging fire quickly engulfed the post house, and Prince Derong's face became more and more gloomy and terrifying, "The next thing, this king thinks that the third prince should know what to do." β
After he finished speaking, he handed the torch in his hand to the person next to him, and squeezed out a stiff smile on his face.
The third prince nodded, and the two looked at each other, "Prince Rong, don't worry, this matter is important, and I will definitely handle it." β
The sky was white, the sun was slowly rising from the east, and the third prince, who had not slept all night, got into the carriage and ran towards the palace.
"I wonder what the third prince is looking for?" The emperor looked upright and asked calmly.
With a dissatisfied anger on the third prince's body, he snorted coldly, as if he was holding back his anger: "Originally, the foreign minister didn't want to disturb the emperor, but there was an assassination last night, and considering the life of this prince, I had to come." β
