Chapter 47: Pick up the knife in your hand
Jiang Jiuyuan was assassinated on his way home, something that had not happened since he took over as the Twelfth Division.
In this world, since a long time ago, there has never been a person who dared to challenge his authority.
This time, it was thanks to Gu Zijiu's blessing.
He stepped on the top of the sedan chair, held a long sword in his hand, looked at the black-clothed man standing not far away and surrounded him, and sneered contemptuously.
Under the cold light, his bloodthirsty and ruthless expression was reflected on the long sword.
"Ding."
With the swords crossed, the battle began.
This man rushed into the encirclement of the men in black, acted decisively, and quickly fought his way out with only a sword, but many men in black couldn't take him for a while.
The dark robe was hidden among the black-clothed people, and it was not clear at all, and it could only be identified from the sharp blade.
"Young master, this man ......"
On the trunk of a tree not far from Jiang Jiuyuan, there was a man sitting idly, just looking at the battle situation opposite, and the man standing firmly on another branch obviously respected this man.
"Little dove has found a good family to live in."
"Yes, this skill deserves the name of King Shura."
The man who dangled his legs laughed twice: "I don't care what the identity of the person who kidnapped my little dove is." ”
The man standing on another branch looked at Jiang Jiuyuan, who was still in the middle of the battle, and responded when he heard the words: "Since the head of the family has been found, our movements will be accelerated." ”
"Yes, it's really lonely for the past few years when the little dove hasn't been around."
A crisp birdsong passed from behind, and with it, there was the sound of fighting from Jiang Jiuyuan's side, and there was a faint smell of blood, and the people sent over were killed one after another.
Through the branches, he could see that Jiang Jiuyuan's face was already stained with blood, but his demeanor was still very relaxed, as if he had no pressure in the face of such a scene.
"Keep an eye on him, and never let him return home safely."
"Then young master, are you going to pick up the head of the family?"
The man laughed again, and did not speak again, but had quickly left the trunk and was gone.
The man standing on the other branch watched him leave, and then he refocused his gaze on Jiang Jiuyuan. This sneak attack on Jiang Jiuyuan itself was planned by the young master, and he was only a spectator, holding back Jiang Jiuyuan's steps when necessary, so as not to disturb the young master's plan.
It's just that.....
He watched the battle situation in the distance for a while, and all the people sent this time were the elites of the mansion, but this person could still walk freely on the premise of protecting Jiang Chen, and beat people to the ground.
"Young master, it seems that it is not easy to hold him back."
The head of the family has been missing for more than three years, and the Gu family has also fallen apart, dividing the rights that originally belonged to the head of the family into three groups: Gu Cheng, the eldest young master of the Gu family, Gu Feibai, the second young master, and Gu Xiang, the third young master. Among them, Gu Cheng was ambitious, and during the three years of the disappearance of the head of the family, he alone took over five-tenths of the Gu family's business, and it was rumored that he cooperated with Tianlin, who had been at odds with Dawei for many years.
In the past three years, the relationship between the Gu family and the Great Wei has reached a freezing point, Gu Feibai and Gu Xiang have watched from the wall, ignoring what Gu Cheng has done, and the Gu family, under the leadership of Gu Cheng, has gradually become incompatible with the Great Wei.
But now that the head of the family has returned, perhaps this situation is ...... I can change.
On the other side, Gu Xiang, the third young master who had sent someone to assassinate Jiang Jiuyuan to gain time, was quickly rushing to King Jin's Mansion.
It's just that now that the Jinwang Mansion has been set up by Jiang Jiuyuan, and there are countless elites of the Twelve Divisions and countless secret guards, if you want to break in, I'm afraid it will not be easy.
Jiang Jiuyuan was very relieved about the safety of his palace, so he was relieved to let Gu Zijiu, who was in a coma, be alone in the mansion, and he entered the palace to bring Jiang Chen back.
But he forgot that in this world, there are many capable people, and there are many Qimen Dunjia who have not yet been recorded. What's more, in the current Gu family, in addition to Gu Cheng, the remaining two masters really want to bring Gu Zijiu back.
The Gu family has been established for a hundred years and has experienced countless dynasties, but no monarch of any dynasty can endure the Gu family, and the reason for this is because of the ability of the head of the family at that time, and most of the reasons are because of the Gu family's wide network, strong ability and ruthlessness, which is unmatched in today's world.
There are hundreds of people in the whole house, and almost everyone can take charge of it alone, and when such a group of people all gather in one place, you can imagine the terrible reputation of it.
Therefore, Jiang Jiuyuan and the others were able to stay calm after knowing Gu Zijiu's identity and not correct her on the spot, thanks to Gu Zijiu's good luck.
In other words, it was her confession at the beginning that made Jiang Jiuyuan choose to believe it.
Gu Xiang easily touched the location of the palace, and he didn't need to investigate it at all, he could feel how many people had gathered in the palace at this time.
Even if he broke in, he couldn't help but estimate the probability that he would get out alive.
Gu Xiang leaned against the wall, feeling that there were many masters in the palace, and smiled with satisfaction: "Little dove is really amazing, it really didn't disappoint me." ”
He fiddled with the ring on his index finger, and after praising Gu Zijiu, he suddenly jumped and easily entered the palace.
And at this time, in the palace, even the slightest disturbance can cause a massacre, not to mention Gu Xiang, a big living person.
With a chuckle, before Gu Xiang's feet hit the ground, his whole body was already in a state of rushing forward again.
And after that, there was a whistle in the palace.
The corners of Gu Xiang's mouth hooked up a smile.
"Such poor alertness can't stop me."
As soon as his words fell, the person had already disappeared in place, leaving only this one sentence of ridicule before it had drifted away, and three seconds later, the palace guards arrived, but they failed to catch Gu Xiang's figure.
In other words, it took less than three seconds for Gu Xiang to sneak into the palace and leave before the arrival of the Twelve Divisions and the secret guards.
That means that taking Gu Zijiu away is just a question of whether Gu Xiang is willing now.
"Squeak."
There was only a soft sound, a soft click on the window, and then there was no movement.
Gu Zijiu, who was lying on the bed, had just drunk the medicine and was still in a coma at this time. Being in a coma for several days in a row made her face almost pale, the kind of near-death state that Gu Xiang was not familiar with.
Gu Xiang's steps were light, and he didn't notice his arrival at all.
"Little dove?" Gu Xiang frowned, sat down beside her, and touched her face with a particularly skillful technique, "Where have you been all these years?" My second brother and I searched almost all over but couldn't find you......"
Gu Xiang moved his hand under her nose, and then fed her an elixir that she didn't know what effect it had, and then pressed her lip flap with her fingertips, feeling that her lip flap was not as soft as she was familiar with: "Is it Gu Cheng who injured you?" Back then, you were also injured and unconscious like this, and Gu Cheng blocked us out on the grounds that you had an infectious disease...... If I had been more careful, you wouldn't have suffered. ”
Gu Xiang turned to grab Gu Zijiu's hand and put it on his face: "Little Jiu'er, I'll take you home." ”
"I don't know where you have been all these years, you are thin and have no flesh at all......"
Gu Zijiu, who miraculously woke up after eating the pill given by Gu Xiang, twitched the corners of his mouth, slapped his palm on his face, buried him in the quilt, and then quickly threw the quilt on his head, straddled his back and beat him indiscriminately.
"Who are you! As soon as you come over, you can't stop talking! ”
Gu Xiang was beaten by Gu Zijiu without defense, but unexpectedly, he was stuffed in the quilt and narrowed his eyes funny.
When Gu Zijiu was tired, he grabbed the quilt and sat up straight, and said: "Second brother came back before and said that you have been missing for three years, and your skills and temper are very different from before, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be the case." ”
Gu Xiang held Gu Zijiu's quilt and looked at Gu Zijiu with a smile: "But it's okay like this, it's really not like a family head to be as quiet as before." He bent one foot and put his hand on his knee, smiling as if he had been the mysterious man who had tried to kill her.
Gu Zijiu glanced at Gu Xiang a few times and said, "The mysterious person who caused me to be unable to eat anything now is the second brother in your mouth?" ”
"What did the little dove say, that's also your second brother."
Gu Zijiu frowned, raised his foot and was about to kick him, but he didn't know what he thought, put his foot down again, and said, "Hey, you can break into the palace now, you must be good?" ”
Gu Xiang's face that had been smiling was suddenly stunned, and he suddenly looked up at Gu Zijiu, this was a face he had long been familiar with, but now his expression was ...... But it was a stranger he had never seen before.
In the past, would Gu Zijiu also show such a vivid expression?
"Little dove, you have been in the past three years...... Is it forgetting everything? ”
Gu Zijiu laughed twice: "Ha, let you be a beggar for three years, see what else you can remember?" ”
Gu Xiang's pupils widened, and he couldn't believe it: "You ......"
"Who wants to kill me, who doesn't even let me go when I'm already a beggar......" Gu Zijiu stepped on the bed, looked at Gu Xiang leisurely, and picked up the double blade that Jiang Jiuyuan put on the pillow at some point.
She stuck the two knives on both sides of Gu Xiang's shoulders, leaned over, and said, "Who split the Gu family after I left, and each became the boss...... She looked at Gu Xiang's shocked face and sneered: "No matter what happens to the Gu family now, since I am back, I will abolish the set you did before." ”
"Or else...... What about in-place cleanup? ”
After listening to Gu Xiang's words, he smiled again: "Little dove has grown up a lot after being a beggar." He stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Gu Zijiu's head, but was quickly kicked away by Gu Zijiu.
"Little dove, don't worry, this Gu family has always been yours, and my second brother and I have spent a lot of time on this over the years."
Gu Zijiu said "hehe": "I won't believe the words of people who want to take my life again and again." ”
"Little dove's words are inappropriate, the second brother just wants to try your skills, wasn't he like this in the past, it's just that you didn't know martial arts before, and all you know are boring piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which makes the second brother feel a little bored."
Gu Xiang stood up with a smile and continued: "Now that you have made progress, the second brother will naturally do his best to help you win the family. As he spoke, he pointed to himself again, "As for me, I have always been on the side of the little dove, whether it is you in the past or you now." ”
Gu Zijiu withdrew the double blades with an expressionless face, and only then did she wake up, her physical strength was already a little overdrawn, but now there was a Gu Xiang who didn't know whether he was friend or foe, and no one in the palace had found out that he had broken into this place so far, which showed this person's skills.
She held the pattern on the double blade and said, "Since you said that you are on my side, then it is better to feel what I suffered when I was a beggar in the past few days." ”
Gu Xiang was still smiling, and after hearing this, he quickly tore off his clothes, revealing his strong chest in an instant
"Since the little dove wants to see it like this, I will naturally agree."
Gu Zijiu: "......"
"Bang!"
"I'm sick!"
