(30) Assassination

"Huaigu, you said that Lord Lian asked me to wait for him here?"

The hot summer has finally left, and the autumn mood of Qiluo City is getting stronger and stronger.

Known as "the first elegant place in Qiluo City", in a pavilion near the lake of the Leaf Tower, there are people babbling and singing the fashionable minor tune at that time, and the sound is turning, which makes people stop when they hear it. But at this time, in the best pavilion in the Leaf Building, Gu Caizhi sat on the stool with some uneasiness and asked Gu Huaigu who was standing aside.

"Yes, it's Fan Yao himself." Gu Huaigu scratched his head, "Originally, he wanted to see you, but at that time, my lord, you were interrogating the prisoner in prison, he waited for a while, there should be other things, let me tell you, and then left first." ”

"But now that the appointed hour has passed, why hasn't he come yet?" Gu Caizhi frowned, "Huaigu, you go to the door again to have a look." ”

"Oh, my lord, I didn't even come. This is less than a cup of tea, and you have made me watch it more than a dozen times. Gu Huaigu muttered, "I don't know if something is delayed suddenly." ”

“……”

Gu Caizhi was silent, recently in the court, he could obviously feel that Cai Yong's hostility towards Lian Qingjue was becoming more and more obvious, if it was a hidden thorn before, now he has no scruples at all and puts it on the bright side.

Cai Yong is not stupid, he can insert his own people in all six departments, which shows that there are still means, but in the past nearly a year, Lian Qingjue has pulled out his hands in each department one after another, even if he can bear it again, I am afraid he will not be able to bear it.

After thinking about it again and again, Gu Caizhi stood up, lifted the green yarn floating around the pavilion and looked into the distance, for some reason, he suddenly panicked in his heart.

"My lord, don't worry, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even the Lord is still an official of the imperial court, what can happen?"

Gu Huaigu saw the impatience of his own adults in his eyes, and said comfortingly.

"Let's go to Lianfu and have a look."

The uneasiness in Gu Cai's heart became heavier and heavier. He didn't wait for Huaigu to follow, and walked out quickly.

……

Fortunately, this Leaf Tower is not far from Lian's Mansion, but with a cup of tea, Gu Caizhi and the two walked to the door of Lian's Mansion. But when they arrived at the door, the two found that the gate of Lianfu, which had always been open, was closed at this time, and there was no doorman guarding the door.

"Could it be that something happened?"

Reluctantly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Gu Caizhi stepped forward and patted the door.

"Master Gu."

After shooting for a while, no one came to open the door, Gu Caizhi was obviously in a hurry, but suddenly, Fan Yao's voice came from behind him.

"Fan Yao? Where is your son-in-law? ”

Gu Caizhi turned his head to look at Fan Yao, his brows furrowed.

"I just went to the Leaf Tower to look for Master Gu, but the second child of the Leaf Tower told me that you left in a hurry." Fan Yao approached Gu Caizhi and arched his hand: "Du Xingsi is a little urgent for the time being, and my son-in-law went to deal with it, so send me to tell Master Gu." ”

"Is that true?"

Gu Caizhi stared at Fan Yao tightly.

"Nature is true." Fan Yao bowed, "I don't dare to deceive adults." ”

"Then why is the door of your mansion closed?"

"Isn't this coming to the Double Ninth Festival, Gongzi asked everyone to go home and rest." Fan Yao said with a smile, "Every holiday, Gongzi will let his subordinates rest for two days, every year." ”

"Oh."

Gu Caizhi responded, and carefully observed Fan Yao's expression, and saw that there was indeed no different color, so he slowly left with Gu Huaigu. And when the figures of the two of them turned around the corner and disappeared, Fan Yao's expression suddenly became solemn, and then he didn't open the door, and directly turned over and jumped over the wall on one side and entered the mansion.

……

"Miss!"

Crossing the wall, Fan Yao didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly ran to the garden of the boy in the backyard. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the young lady and a group of subordinates fighting with dozens of black-clothed and black-clad people.

"Fan Yao!" In the midst of the scuffle, Lian Qingwen raised her sword and stabbed it into the chest of a black-clothed man in front of her, and said happily, "Go back to the house." ”

"Yes."

Fan Yao knew that the young lady was letting him go to the house to protect his son, so he pulled out his sword and fought all the way to the door, quickly opened the door and dodged in.

"Childe."

Inside the house, listening to the sound of swords connecting outside, Lian Qingjue was wrapped in a cloak, still calmly writing something.

"He's gone?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever doubted?"

"It should ...... No. ”

Fan Yao raised his sleeve and wiped the blood that flowed down his cheek, and said.

"You go out and help Ah Wan."

Lian Qingjue raised his head and glanced at Fan Yao.

"Yes."

Fan Yao opened the door, dodged out again and closed the door again, lifted his sword and joined the battle situation that was obviously turning to one side.

"Why did you get out?"

Seeing that Fan Yao killed a man in black who tried to sneak attack him from behind with one blow, Lian Qingwen said with a frown.

"Childe asked me to come out."

Fan Yao's subordinates didn't stop, and the black-clothed people around him soon lost half.

"Fan Yao, go to the roof."

Hearing this, even Qingwen no longer bothered about this matter, but when she was fighting with a man in black, she caught a glimpse of two men in black quietly going up to the roof.

"Yes."

Fan Yao got the order, jumped onto the roof, and knocked down the two people who tried to sneak attack his son from the roof.

"Fan Yao, fight quickly."

Seeing that the number of black-clothed people was getting smaller and smaller because of Fan Yao's joining, Lian Qingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, slashed the last black-clothed person beside her under the sword, and came to the closed door, vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding movements.

"Miss, there are nineteen assassins this time, all of them are fresh faces."

In just a moment, Fan Yao and other subordinates killed the man in black cleanly, and then piled the corpses of the man in black together, pulled down their face towels one by one and looked at them.

"Yes."

Lian Qingjue nodded, but when she heard a "squeak" behind her, Lian Qingjue opened the door and walked out.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Lian Qingwen put away her sword and looked her brother up and down carefully.

"I'm fine, thank you for your hard work, A-w."

Lian Qingjue was distressed and brushed away the hair on Lian Qingwan's face that was stuck with blood, and looked at her sister's aqua blue clothes that had been soaked in blood and couldn't see the original color, and she felt very uncomfortable. If you don't have a cold disease, you don't have to fight for your sister's life to protect yourself.

"I'm fine, it's all their blood."

Seeing her brother's self-blame, Lian Qingwan patted Lian Qingjue's shoulder and said, "Brother, it's windy outside, you go in first, and I'll let people clean up this garden." ”

"Okay."

Lian Qingjue nodded, turned around and returned to the house, but his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
