Chapter 41: The Woman in Black

"In Suzhou, a relative is sick, and my sister went to visit. Su Juan said.

"Since that's the case, then I won't delay your time!" Zheng Peilan said with a smile, "When I saw you today, I felt that I was quite close to you, and when you return to the capital, we will get together again." ”

"Good. Su Juan smiled slightly.

Zheng Peilan left with the people, and the carriage of the Hou Mansion continued to set off.

However, Su Tang'an faintly felt that something was wrong, the conflict between Gu Tingjun and Zheng Peizhi, and Zheng Peilan's sudden appearance, is there a connection between these?

The convoy continued to move forward, and in the evening, when they settled at an inn, Qing'er helped Su Cheng to get out of the carriage.

When passing by a carriage with luggage, Su Yu'an's brows frowned, and then Su Yulian and Su Jinyan sisters also got out of the carriage, she stepped forward and said: "Tonight, you have worked hard all day, eat something and rest early!"

"Got it. Su Yulian nodded slightly, and pulled Su Jinyan into the inn.

Wu Tong instructed his entourage to move a few boxes containing goods to the courtyard inside the inn, and Su Tang'an asked them to go to eat first and then have a good rest.

When night fell, the box containing the goods was opened from the inside, and a woman dressed in black slipped out of it, with white gauze tied around her arm.

"Who are you?" asked Su Tang'an, "Why are you hiding in my box?"

The woman in black suddenly turned around, and a dagger in her hand stabbed at Su Tang'an's chest.

Su Juan raised his hands and smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, I have no malice." ”

The woman stopped when the dagger approached Su Cheng's mouth, her face wary, her eyes full of alertness.

"If I wanted to do something, I wouldn't be here alone!" Su Juan smiled faintly.

"But if you see me, then you can't be left alone!" the woman said coldly.

"You can do it!" Su Tang'an said with a light smile and fearlessness.

"Sifang, stop!" A gentle voice came, and I saw Gu Tingjun, dressed in white, flying down from above the roof.

He heard Su Ju'an's side, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the sword in the black-clothed woman's hand away, and said, "If it weren't for the help of the fifth lady today, you would want to get out of the capital, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”

"Don't give me the credit, I didn't help anything, I just found out that someone was hiding in our family's convoy not long ago, and I suspect that this matter may be related to you!" Su Tang'an glanced at Gu Tingjun and said with a faint smile, " It turned out that the third son's car really hid a beautiful woman, and when Miss Zheng Er made a fuss and attracted everyone's attention, this girl quietly hid, but the third son's actions were not benevolent, if the Zheng family sisters wanted to search our convoy at that time, wouldn't our Qihou Mansion be inseparable from this matter? This girl is injured, and her identity is not so simple, right?"

"It's considered to have taken advantage of Miss Fifth and the others, Gu apologizes to you here, but I didn't think about affecting you, if the Zheng family sisters really searched, I would also take this matter down!" Gu Tingjun said.

"Since you have dragged me in, do I have the right to know the identity of this girl?" Su Juan asked with a smile, she took out a bottle from her arms and poured out a pill, "Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill, this girl is not lightly injured, it is important to heal the injury first." ”

Wu Sifang glanced at Gu Tingjun, saw him nodding, and then took the pill in Su Tang'an's palm, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you." ”

"Her name is Wu Sifang. Gu Tingjun was silent for a moment, "I don't know if you have heard of Jiang Zhenghe, the general of Zhengxi who was assassinated half a year ago, she is the maid of Miss Jiang, the only daughter of General Jiang, I don't know where I learned that General Jiang's assassination was related to the crown prince, so I waited for an opportunity to assassinate, failed, and was hunted down." The capital can't be hidden, Miss Jiang has a friendship with me, so she entrusted Sifang to me, I don't know where the Zheng sisters got the news, I will go out of the city today, but if I don't meet you today, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. ”

Wu Sifang also hugged his fists and said: "Fifth Miss's life-saving grace, Sifang remembers it in her heart. ”

It was General Jiang again, Su Cheng was shocked, his face changed slightly, and he said, "This is my ...... It should be done. ”

The person who assassinated General Jiang was himself in his previous life, instructed by Li Changlong, he only told her about this matter alone, and his own life in his previous life had already died, and this matter was related to Li Changlong, but there was no evidence, and evidence would never be found.

After a pause, Su Juan said again: "It's not that I look down on you, Martial Girl, the prince's own martial arts are not weak, and the masters around him are like clouds, how can you succeed if you rashly assassinate him?"

"This time I was too reckless, I almost affected our young lady, it's really damned!" Wu Sifang said with annoyance, "It's just that our general is loyal and patriotic, and I really can't bear to watch the general die in vain." Li Changlong brutalized Zhongliang for his own selfish desires, what qualifications does such a person have to become emperors!"

"It's useless to talk about this now!" Gu Tingjun said, "Since you are out of the capital, let's hide it first and heal the wounds." I've already made arrangements, you can leave here with my guards first, if someone comes later, I'm afraid of adding new trouble. ”

"Yes. Wu Sifang hugged his fists and said, "If he has the opportunity in the future, Sifang will definitely repay the kindness of the third prince." ”

Then two men in tights flew down and left with Wu Sifang.

Gu Tingjun smiled at Su Tang'an as if nothing had happened, and said, "You seem to have something to say, we can't stand here and talk, right?"

"You come with me. Su Tang'an took Gu Tingjun to his room, "Please take a seat." ”

"Why did you suddenly leave the capital?" Gu Tingjun sat down and asked.

"Some of the remarks in the capital are very unfriendly to me right now. Su Tang'an said lightly, "It's good for me to leave for a while, so as not to become the center of public opinion and inexplicably become the target of some people's attacks." ”

She glanced at Gu Tingjun, muttered for a while, and said, "I remember that you have never been involved in some things about Li Changlong, how could you risk your life today?

"It's very important. Gu Tingjun nodded and said, "We have known each other for more than ten years, we are childhood sweethearts, there are not many women I admire, she is one of them." And General Jiang is loyal and courageous, I am very sympathetic, Wu Sifang is loyal to his master, if he sees death and does not save him, his conscience is really unbearable. ”

"The assassination of General Jiang has always been investigated by the second prince, right?" asked Su Ju'an.

"Yes, it's been half a year, and there has been no progress, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied, recently, the prince's party has been attacking the second prince with this matter, and the situation of the second prince is getting worse and worse. Gu Tingjun sighed.

Su Tang'an lowered his eyes and thought about it, Li Changlong's Rakshasa Hall has always been a sharp blade, which will make people panic, even if some people doubt the relationship between Rakshasa Hall and Li Changlong, there is no evidence, it is difficult to connect the two bluntly, and this sharp blade Li Changlong is now more and more convenient to use, and now the plan is to destroy the Rakshasa Hall first, or the Rakshasa Hall is Li Changlong's seat, how many people have been killed in the Rakshasa Hall before, no one knows better than himself, it will definitely cause an uproar, I am afraid that Li Changlong's position as the prince will not be stable at that time。

"What are you in a daze?" Gu Tingjun asked, "Why are you interested in this matter?" Also, you know the Zheng family sisters, you see Zheng Peilan's eyes are very different, how to say it, with a faint murderous aura, don't deny it, I see it in my eyes." Is it because of the crown prince?"

"Don't test me anymore. Su Tang'an said lightly, "If I have anything to do with Li Changlong, how can I shield the person who assassinated him today." I told you that I want to avenge my mother, and you know the relationship between the Liu family and the Zheng family, I hate the house and the house, and I hate the Zheng family sisters. ”

"That's it?" Gu Tingjun held his chin, "I thought she had some kind of enmity with you!"

"If there's nothing else to do, you can leave!" Su Ju'an said lightly, "There are other things to talk about when I come back from Suzhou." ”

"I was going to tell you some other inside information, but since you're in such a hurry to catch the customer, forget it. Gu Tingjun shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I still have to advise you, this trip to Suzhou may not be as smooth as you imagined, all in all, you should be careful." ”

"What do you know?"

"I don't know anything. Gu Tingjun smiled faintly, "Then we'll see you in the capital." ”

Gu Tingjun said, turned around and flew out of the window, and went up to the roof like a shadow. Two guards immediately appeared behind him and asked, "Childe, I have settled Miss Wu, will we go back to Beijing now?"

"Just wait a minute. Gu Tingjun glanced at the window of Su Ju'an's room, "Follow her." ”

The guard was puzzled and asked, "Why didn't Childe tell her what he knew?"

"I also want to see how much she can handle, and how much she can handle this kind of thing on her own. Gu Tingjun smiled faintly, and then disappeared into the night.

Qing'er knocked on the door with dinner, put down the plate and said, "Miss, is there anyone in the house?"

"Nope. ”

"That might be the slave being dazzled. Qing'er said, "I didn't see Miss eat, so the slave maid sent it over, and I rushed for a day today, so Miss should eat some." ”

"Okay, you put it down and go rest. Su Tang'an said, "I will call you if you need something." ”

"Yes, the slave is gone. ”

Su Tang'an sighed as she looked at the food on the table, she looked at her hands and began to think about the meaning of what she had done before, her family in her previous life was killed by the queen and the crown prince, she knew what it was like to lose her loved ones, and she herself took the lives of so many people with her own hands.

If she doesn't die well in this life, it will be retribution, I only hope that before this, she can take revenge, and it can be regarded as an explanation for those who were killed by her.
