Chapter 113: Assassination

When the crowd was chaotic, Gu Mingxiu was indeed with Gu Li.

Shen Yang raised his hand behind her to separate the crowd for her, and did not speak intimately. Gu Liyi grabbed Gu Mingxiu's hand tightly, glanced at Shen Yang vigilantly, and then turned his gaze to the riverside.

"Girl, there are too many people."

There were several sounds of falling water, mixed with the panicked cries and cries of children for help. Agarwood and Mozhu stood in front of Gu Mingxiu and Gu Liyi, blocking the crowded flow of people, and whispered to Gu Mingxiu.

"Whoever goes down to save people! There will be heavy thanks in the General's Mansion! ”

An Yan's voice came through the crowd, calm and forceful. The crowd around him just paused, and then changed direction more lively and actively. They squeezed towards the lakeside, Gu Liyi and the two were pushed and shoved in the crowd, only to feel extremely dizzy, and a big man excitedly passed through Gu Liyi and Gu Mingxiu.

Gu Liyi was caught off guard, and the wrist that she was holding tightly was thrown out of her hand, and she almost fell down because she was taken along. Qiao Wushou quickly grabbed Gu Liyi and pulled him to his side, retreated to a safer place, frowned, and said, "There are too many people here, be careful." ”

"Sister embroidery...!" Gu Liyi didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he hurriedly glanced at the spirit buckwheat beside him and was a little flustered.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Gu Mingxiu's voice came out of the crowd, although he couldn't distinguish the direction, but it was light and light, and instantly taught Gu Liyi to settle down.

"Don't worry." Qiao Wu glanced at Gu Liyi and said soothingly, "You embroider sister she-"

"She's with Shen Yang!" There was a hint of choking in Gu Liyi's voice, she glared at Qiao Wu fiercely, and was almost about to cry, "It's not that you don't know.... It's not like you don't know!! That guy he... He ....."

"I know, I know." Qiao Wu looked at the girl who was about to cry when she said she was about to cry, and hurriedly looked for a veil, "Of course I know, but Shen Yang will not be stupid enough to let Gu Ming embroider to death now, so she is safe." Besides, there are so many people here, you really are.... Why does the little girl have so many tears? ”

Gu Liyi was clumsily wiped from his tears, but she shed tears silently, and Gu Mingxiu's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and she opened her eyes wide and tried to find the place where the voice came from.

There was a faint pain spreading in the wrist.

Gu Mingxiu quietly hid his hand in his sleeve and raised his hand to caress his arm. She took her eyes off Shen Yang's concerned demeanor, and immediately decided: "Agarwood, you go and find the guards on the other side to help, Mozhu, you go and find the doctor." There are a lot of people who have fallen into the water, and they probably need some carts and horses, so go quickly. ”

Agarwood glanced at Shen Yang and nodded: "The slave will come back immediately, the girl should not go around." ”

Mo Zhu glanced at Gu Mingxiu, knowing that he couldn't delay, so he had to nod and follow Agarwood to quickly turn around and squeeze into the crowd.

Escorting Gu Mingxiu to retreat to safety, Shen Yang said softly: "Although Jing Zhou is beautiful, it is not as kind as Yangzhou. I was supposed to enjoy the lanterns tonight, but I encountered such a thing, which ruined my interest for no reason, and it was not interesting. ”

"I thought it had nothing to do with the same place," Gu Mingxiu stepped aside, raised his eyes and smiled lightly, "Maybe it's just a human reason?" Without waiting for Shen Yang to change, she seemed to be smiling, "There are many people and there is no order, so it is naturally quite boring." ”

Shen Yang's dark color was slightly dark, and his eyebrows and eyes were not messy.

The moon-white boy stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the girl beside him with his head bowed slightly, with a little light tenderness in his eyes. The girl in white has a slender figure and a fluttering dress, elegant and delicate.

Two lanterns swayed slightly on both sides of the eaves on the heads of the two, and the bright candle flame swayed. The two of them stood under the eaves, and the talented men and women looked like a pair of beautiful people.

People passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances at a couple of men and women under the eaves.

Shen Yang smiled lightly, suddenly his expression turned grim, and he raised his hand and pulled Gu Mingxiu into his arms. He frowned slightly, and his voice was lowered: "It's not a good thing to be alone. ”

Gu Mingxiu bumped into his arms, and when he looked at his line of sight, he saw that a small cut had been made on the corner of his shoulder. Looking further in the direction of the opening, a broken arrow was driven into the wooden wall.

Passers-by were busy hurrying or watching the hustle and bustle of the lakeside, only occasionally looking back at the two people under the eaves. The broken arrow came very suddenly and quickly, but it did not attract the attention of others.

She blinked, and there was a slight smile in her eyes.

Shen Yang didn't see the light in her eyes, but just grabbed Gu Mingxiu's hand firmly and stepped back: "It's not safe here!" Come on! ”

Shen Yang walked quickly and quickly, and Gu Mingxiu, who was pulling, almost couldn't keep up.

"Go out from here and go around to the other side, my people and the people from the General's Mansion are over there, and it will be safe to go over." Shen Yang pulled Gu Mingxiu forward, not forgetting to comfort her in a low voice, "Don't worry." If you pass through the crowd... I'm afraid that it won't be safe for civilians, and Miss Gu will have to suffer some things with me. ”

All the way into the alley, the road ahead became darker and quieter.

Gu Mingxiu smiled softly and said casually: "I haven't recognized any roads in Jing Zhou for a year, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only touched these roads in a few days, which really surprises me." ”

Away from the bustling crowd market, the footsteps of the two became clearer and clearer.

Shen Yang didn't look back at her, just slowed down his pace slightly, and said softly: "Jing Zhou is an important place for Da Shen to defend, I have seen the terrain of Jing Zhou from my father, and I have also sent people to search for some maps among the people. Today's incident happened suddenly, just running through memory, I just hope that for many years, these alleys have not been rebuilt. ”

He spoke with ease, without pause or hesitation.

Shen Yang laughed: "It's just that I don't have the time to continue gossiping with Miss Gu now-" He quickly stopped, grabbed Gu Mingxiu and dodged to the side, and the next moment four or five long arrows smashed into the place where the two of them were standing.

With his back against the wall, the coolness instantly permeated his body. Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes and glanced coldly at the hand that grabbed his wrist, and pulled the corners of his lips, a little mockery fleeting.

Shen Yang protected Gu Mingxiu and stared at the front tightly.

Several men in black stood on the walls, staring at them intensely. The black-clothed man at the head lowered his voice: "I'm sorry for the two, take people's money and eliminate disasters for others - the young lady of the General's Mansion has to leave her life here today." ”

At her...? Gu Mingxiu showed a little surprise.

Shen Yang glanced back at Gu Mingxiu, and said loudly: "I don't know where this young lady caused trouble, and who sent you to kill her?" He smiled slightly, without the slightest threat on his face, "If it's money... How much the other party has paid, I can increase the price. ”

"There are also some rules for doing what we do, and this boy should not blame our rules." The man in black chuckled lowly, raised his hand and gently put the back of the knife on his shoulder, "We are only looking for this girl's revenge, and it has nothing to do with you." If you know each other and leave quickly, we can still let you go. ”

Shen Yang frowned, and was about to speak when he felt that his sleeve was being ripped off.

The girl in white tilted her head and looked at him casually, her eyes were gentle and curious, and she was not at all panicked or afraid. She looked at him calmly, and even showed an interested smile: "Since they let you go, you can go." ”

"No way!" Shen Yang decisively refused, "How can I leave you alone!" Don't be afraid, don't feel guilty about me, I-"

"You're mistaken." Gu Mingxiu interrupted Shen Yang's serious words, his eyes were slightly cold, and he chuckled, "I just don't want to die with you, that will make me feel... Very unhappy. ”

She took a step back and looked at him faintly.

Shen Yang's eyes were more or less surprised. He looked at the girl silently, and after a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly: "It was I who calculated against you in the past, which caused you to be so suspicious and hate me, I don't blame you, this is what I deserve." ”

He stared at her and whispered, "If today..."

Shen Yang didn't finish speaking, just looked at her deeply, took two steps forward and grabbed her hand again and ran into the alley beside him. Gu Mingxiu was pulled by him and staggered a step, and the clear pain in her wrist made her frown slightly. The two of them had just run into the alley, and before Gu Mingxiu could shake Shen Yang's hand away, a dagger flew out of the horizon and came straight towards the two.

The dagger was extremely sharp, cutting off half of the branch and flying towards the two of them.

Shen Yang suddenly let go of his hand, and the dagger grazed the back of his hand and drove it firmly into the wall.

The handle of the dagger was delicately made, and it was set with a blue diamond. Under the dark streamer, the broken diamond exuded a quiet and cold light, and Gu Mingxiu's gaze condensed slightly.

"Heh, it's very 'affectionate and righteous'."

After a low chuckle, a low, cold voice sounded low, with a bit of nonchalance.

At the head of the wall at the entrance of the alley, a person sat there lazily, bent one leg and lowered his body slightly to look at them. The man was covered in a dark cloak, his face pressed under a black scarf, and only a pair of eyes were puffed with a bit of evil and playful meaning.

"Who are you?" Shen Yang didn't look at the back of the bleeding hand, but just frowned slightly and looked at the person on the wall.

The man sneered again, straightened up slightly, and looked at them lazily, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. The feeling of oppression suddenly rose in the night wind, firmly fixing Shen Yang in place. Facing the other party's gaze, he actually taught him to inexplicably have a little chill on his back.

"We're the ones who came to kill you." The man's words were concise and to the point, and there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes, "Do it." ”

He gave the order simply and simply, and dozens of figures quickly flew out from both sides behind him, all of them attacking Shen Yang in unison. The men in black were all armed with long swords, and their moves were clean and ruthless, and they came towards his life.

Shen Yangdeng's color changed, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.

As he dodged, the man in black on the wall moved.

The man hurriedly swept down, bent over the white-clothed girl under the wall and hugged her into his arms, and pulled out the dagger on the wall, easily holding her onto the wall under Shen Yang's gaze, and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

Only a low chuckle remained, wanton and stubborn, with a bit of merciless mockery.

"Miss Gu of the General's Mansion, I'll take it away."

"As for this son, it's better to save his life first, and then come to ask for advice."

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
