Chapter 152: Interlude
"We are like this, will we be recognized!" Gu Lingyun said sadly, looking at this plain clothes, a little unconvinced.
Xiao Lin stood in front of the mirror and looked at it carefully, sometimes smiling, sometimes amazed, as if he was feeling his perfect figure, and turned his head to look at Gu Lingyun: "Probably not, that notice is not you." ”
Gu Lingyun said with a tangled eyebrow: "Nonsense, that's clearly me." ”
"You're a hater. That Xiao turned his head away, wiped his eyebrows and sideburns, and his eyebrows were pretty: "You say, will the fairy sister fall in love with me at first sight." ”
It's just that Gu Lingyun didn't pay attention to him, thought about it slightly, and immediately his face eased slightly, Xiao Hate is indeed a good name.
The night always comes in an instant, turning into a sky full of stars.
Countless stars broke free from the night, but they could not escape the shackles of the night, making the cold night less cicadas, more lonely, and more cold.
At this time, the city of Leizhou in Yunyang Mansion is only brightly lit in the inner city, although Leizhou has fallen into the night in the past, it is always more and more lively, but now the whole city is silent, and the streets are very quiet.
If it weren't for the patrolling guards who passed by from time to time at that time, it would have been like a dead city, with willow boats in the deep alleys, and the Blue House and Silver Pavilion would be even darker.
Leizhou, an important city in the south, a prosperous land in the southeast, and a thousand miles of Xiongzhou. Now it is covered with a layer of oppressive ink, and the people dare not come out, and people dare not speak.
"Bang!"
In the Thunder Temple, there was a deafening sound of the stone table shattering, muffled and extremely angry, and it seemed terrifying in the silence.
On the male chair in the hall, an old man's face was gloomy to the extreme, his white hair was even more desolate, his face was sad and helpless, and the momentum of being on the top for a long time was still majestic, and a casual glance at it could also make people feel like falling into an ice cave.
"The martial arts kid is too deceitful!" The domineering rebuke resounded throughout the temple!
The five or six important ministers standing in the audience were respectful, trembling, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
This majestic old man is the real master of this Yunyang, the Duke of Yue Guo Gu Yunfu.
Since the time of the first emperor, the Duke of Yue has been famous all over the world, and has made outstanding achievements with the first emperor in the southern and northern expeditions.
When the first emperor was there, he wanted to win the hearts of the people, and named him the eighth king of the opposite sex in Xuanwu.
The Gu family is a family of Yunyang, which is deeply rooted, and it is also the governance of Yunyang, which is clean and peaceful.
The eldest son Gu Gonghua is a scholar of Wenyuange in the current dynasty, and has retired from the government in recent years; the second son Gu Gongtai, who served as the commander of Jiangnan Province, and the third son Gu Gongwei, that is, Gu Lingyun's father, is not yet forty, the official residence is the second grade, the capital of Suyang County, and the general of Zhengnan!
"Poor third brother's family, tragically poisoned!" The weak middle-aged man in the white robe under the stage choked up, full of righteousness, but his eyes were full of sadness.
This person is Gu Lingyun's uncle Gu Gonghua, the three brothers have taken care of each other since they were children, and they have an excellent relationship.
"Emperor Yan slandered the third brother for colluding with Wuyue and wanting to do something rebellious, then let's do what he wants, and turn against this day! Anyway, in this world, the martial arts family can't sit for long!"
"Confused!"
Yue Guogong's voice was heavy, in his old age, his body was still strong, and he scolded Gu Gongtai angrily: "In this situation, no one wants to be the first bird, all parties are watching my Gu family, such a simple truth, you are still in a high position, a hundred years later, how can I rest assured that my ancestral family business will be handed over to you!"
Although the Duke of Yue Guo is a Xuanwu veteran, he is not stupid and loyal, so the current situation of the people of Li is not caused by the royal family.
Gu Gongtai was also angry for a while, his face was blushing, and he said angrily: "Father, the imperial court will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, it seems that you have to think of a countermeasure in advance." ”
Gu Yunfu stood up with his hands in his hands, looking at the wolf Gu, and his heart was also depressed, it was really a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, but he was pitiful for his beloved son and young grandson, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The black-robed scribe on the side stepped up to the front, seven feet long, with a jade crown and a handsome face, a crown and a broad belt, and a weak crown.
"Don't worry, I have Tianduan Mountain and Huanghe River in the north of Yunyang, and the seven passes of Tianduan are all arranged with heavy troops, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the west is a falling vulture, if Xuanwu sends troops to attack, only need to block the cold water and jade, and it is naturally safe and sound, as for the southeast side, who can beat my Yizhou water army?"
Wen Xunruo, a wise man in the world, known as a great talent, known as 'seeking heaven', the Wen family has worked for the Gu family for generations, and has made this Yunyang into an iron bucket, and he has done his best and made great contributions.
As soon as the words fell, he continued: "The Yunyang soldiers are full of food, and besides, Emperor Yan intends to reduce power and deterrence, and he will definitely not do anything that is worth the loss." ”
Yue Guogong also knew this, naturally knew this, and said slowly: "What Xun Ruo said is very true, it is better to wait and see what happens." ”
"Report!"
"Huh?"
When the palace was deliberating, the shadow guard outside the door flew around!
Yue Guogong waved his hand, and the person who reported it was covered tightly all over his body, as dark as night, but a red feather on his waist, like a puppet, respectfully said:
"My lord, Chi Yu Wei found sixty-three corpses of Biluo Huangquan Secret Guards in the dense forest thirty miles north of Suyang Annan, and no trace of the two little sons was found!"
Yue Guogong was shocked when he heard this, and it was difficult to hide his hope, since the Suyang incident, he had sent hundreds of Yunyang Jingwei Shadows, and he was bound to rescue the two Gu Lingyun brothers, and now someone must have rescued him, and it is very likely that he will survive!
"Who did it?" Gu Gongtai asked eagerly, and he could be a little relieved to learn the news.
"Never!"
"Don't hurry up and investigate!" Gu Yun shouted vigorously, so frightened that the dark guard was almost distracted, trembling, and hurriedly retreated.
The Gu family Shadow Guard is also a top-secret organization, and the Shadow Guard is more like a news network, mainly investigating, searching, lurking, espionage, assassination, protection, etc. Most of the gate valves of various families have this kind of dark arrow.
"The DPRK and China have already blocked the sun, and the two little sons of the general Zhengnan must still be in the sun. Another henchman stepped forward and said, this person was thin and cold.
The Shadow Guard is the leader of Yin Bukong, and he is desperate and loyal to the Gu family.
"Send more people, and you will definitely bring them back, and you will be responsible for it personally!"
"Yes!" Yin Bukong replied respectfully, and was about to retreat from the arrangement.
"Wait. ”
"Lord!" Yin Bukong hurriedly turned around and half-knelt down.
"Practitioners can be used. Gu Yunfu seemed to have been thinking for a long time, and said slowly, everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all had their own thoughts.
The big families all have cultivators and masters, but they rarely use the hidden power in their hands, which shows how much Gu Yunfu attaches great importance to it.
"Yes!"
Yin is not empty, and he retreats after hearing the words.
Seven hundred shadow guards have now been dispatched, and at the same time, various forces are also infiltrating, seeking opportunities to make profits.
The bright moon crossed the sky, sprinkling a scene of silver light, and it was late at night, sleeping peacefully. The crickets are squirming, and the breeze is blowing the willows. A black cloud shrouded the lonely moon.
The ghostly figure of the assassin quietly jumped into the alley with the dark clouds covering the moon, perhaps it was this darkness that escaped the Shenxing forbidden army guarding the outer layers of Tianfeng Tower.
The light power urged to the extreme, marching softly on the glazed tiles, such as the light swallow flying upside down and quietly landing, it happened that two guards carried lanterns to inspect, his figure quickly went to the side, found a stone to avoid its shape, it was also dense with flowers and plants, a nocturnal black clothes made him and the shadow of the tree merge, the guards did not notice, slowly walked by.
Dive up for a while, quietly looking for an opportunity.
On the top of the Feng Pavilion that day, there were also one or two Shenxing guards sitting upright on the inspection post, protecting the big names among them. The assassin thought that he had been prepared for a long time, and he knew the distribution of these shadows well, and his eagle eyes were as deep as a torch.
Perhaps it was the heavens, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the mist was dark. The moonlight slanted down, and the tile scales were shining, and they were silvery white, which made the difficulty of assassination several times higher for a while.
Finding an opportunity, five steps turned into two steps, and in a few clicks, he had jumped over the small courtyard, climbed to the dark place of the eaves, quietly and silently held his breath, his steps were exquisite, and he climbed up like a dragon and a phoenix, and the broken blade at his waist was close to his body, giving him an inexplicable sense of excitement.
Taking advantage of the guard's blink of an eye, the galloping room has reached the third floor, reminiscing, taking out the broken blade and breaking the window, the series of actions are almost instantaneous, and the movement is even more slight, falling softly in the room!
Quickly flowing to the bed, without hesitation, the broken blade is a stab, and the internal force bursts out, whether it is the main owner or not.
An assassin, one is forbearing, the other is ruthless.
This is what Master told him decades ago, and he has always kept it in mind, so over the years, he has rarely missed.
The person on the bed rose up, and slapped his shoulder with a palm, like an iron imprint on his right arm, and the strong internal force made his right hand lose its combat effectiveness in an instant, and it was even more blood spilled on the bed tent, and the wind under his feet retreated sharply.
Assassination, failed.
He couldn't figure it out, he had been lurking for several days, and he had thoroughly touched the Heavenly Fenglou, and he had quietly followed along the way, understanding the laws of these divine forbidden forces, and he would definitely not be wrong.
"Thief, dare to assassinate my lord!" The sound like a lion roaring echoed in his ears, it was the reckless man who was discussing with Chu Xusheng in the small courtyard at noon, which shocked the whole building for a while, and everyone woke up from their sleep.
The assassin didn't have time to react, and the reckless man punched again, rushing straight into his hand, and the assassin leaned quickly, his body seemed to fall instead of falling, as if he was falling, and the fist wind whistled past!
At the same time, the assassin's feet kicked like a rabbit and kicked the waist of the reckless man, who did not expect that the assassin still had the strength to fight back, and the brute waist seemed to be affected by the force of a thousand jun, and he felt a pain and panicked steps.
Grab this gap, hook up the broken blade and go out of the window!
"Bell!"
There was a sound of metal stabbing sounded, and it was Chu Xusheng, who was holding a long knife, sneered, and ruthlessly slashed, rubble splashed, and the windows destroyed the building and exploded.
Although the assassin knew that someone was coming to kill him, and the broken blade blocked it, it was difficult to pass through this natural huge force, and the broken line smashed upstairs like a kite, and the two divine guards on it had already held the phoenix knife in their hands, and each made a horizontal slash to kill the assassin.
The assassin forced an internal force, slapped his palm through the roof, and leaped up with the help of the force of the recoil, and the two swords missed, leaving them in shame.
It's just that the long knife is coming, and the crisis will come down again, Xiao Xusheng will never let him have any respite, like a dragon running, facing the door in distress!
The assassin was very aggrieved, and with a twist of the blade in his hand, he slammed into it, and for a moment the spark burst into flames, shaking the long knife, and at the same time kicking and kicking away a divine guard, and his body stood leaning.
Seeing a cold smile on Chu Xusheng's face, he was entangled in his heart, and sure enough, Chu Xusheng shook the handle of the knife, which he didn't expect, the handle of the long knife smashed into his chest with the strength of two horses, and he was suddenly stuffy and bloody, languishing, and it was difficult to get up from the ground.
At this time, another Divine Praetorian Guard slashed horizontally, trying to cut off his hand, the assassin was extremely panicked, death was so close, the waste arm somehow took out a drop of black bead into his arms, and smashed it fiercely!
"Not good!"
Chu Xusheng screamed angrily, raised his sleeves to avoid his face when he couldn't avoid it, and at the same time focused on his legs, like a hidden bat turning over and retreating.
It's just that the swarthy bead smashed into the door of the guard's face, and the guard's reaction was slashed, and it was like a thunderbolt bursting, and the smoke was filled, forming a black mist on the pavilion.
Look at the guard again, his face is full of iron, blood is like a trickle, he is dying with his mouth open, unwilling to die.
By the time the fog cleared, the Assassin was long gone!
Chu Xusheng was furious, and commanded to many divine guards: "Don't chase it yet, a bunch of waste!"
Immediately, it spread out with Tianfeng Tower as the center, searching for the assassins.
