Chapter 5: The Assassin Arrives in the Night
At night, Beiliang Palace.
Chu Mo and Yu Zixuan sat quietly in the courtyard and looked up at the sky.
"It's been a day, and they haven't heard any news yet?" Chu Mo's eyes were closed, and he said quietly.
And as soon as Chu Mo's words fell, the cooing of a carrier pigeon suddenly came from the silent night.
Yu Zixuan stood up, and a carrier pigeon flew over the wall impartially and landed on his shoulder.
Yu Zixuan took down the carrier pigeon, took off the letterhead on the carrier pigeon, and glanced at the content of the letterhead after releasing the carrier pigeon, and said: "It's Wushuang, the letterhead tells you that there are still things in Liangzhou that have not been explained clearly, so I will come to Kyoto one day later." Tianyi and Shen Qiu have already set off and are expected to arrive at noon tomorrow. ”
"Hmm."
Chu Mo nodded, slowly opened his eyes, then stood up and stretched, and said, "It's not early, rest early today." By the way, tomorrow morning, post a notice to find some maids and servants to come back, there are only two of us in the huge Beiliang Palace, and it seems deserted. ”
"Yes!"
Looking at Yu Zixuan's appearance, Chu Mo smiled helplessly, waved his hand and said, "I said, in the absence of outsiders, you don't have to be so restrained, you and I are brothers between our fathers, and the same is true between us." ”
After speaking, Chu Mo didn't give Yu Zixuan a chance to respond, and strolled out of the courtyard.
……
Dead.
The huge Beiliang Palace, as Chu Mo said, looked extremely deserted.
And at this moment, Chu Mo and Yu Zixuan have already entered their dreams.
Suddenly!
Several sounds of breaking the sky suddenly sounded, and I saw several black-clothed figures flying in from outside the courtyard wall on the side like ghosts, and entered the backyard of the palace.
Several black-clothed men who landed in the courtyard glanced at each other, then dispersed and began to look for Chu Mo's bedroom.
After some searching, several of them groped their way to the door of Yu Zixuan's room, looking at the outline of the bed in the room, several people nodded immediately, and two of them rushed into the house with long swords in their hands.
Rub and go!
In an instant, countless sword lights flashed in the room, and the remaining two black-clothed men were just about to step forward to help, but they suddenly heard the door shatter in response, and two black figures flew out upside down and fell heavily in front of them.
The two looked down and saw that the two companions were no longer breathing, and a sword mark was clearly visible on their necks.
"A sword seals the throat! Not good, there are masters, withdraw! ”
The pupils of the two couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and without saying a word, they immediately jumped into the air and wanted to evacuate. But at this moment, a black shadow flew out of the room and came to the two of them in an instant.
I saw the long sword in Yu Zixuan's hand swinging gently, and under the bright moonlight, two blood arrows flew out from the two black-clothed people, the two of them stared at the big eyes like copper bells, their eyes were full of disbelief, and their bodies slammed to the end, and they died of anger!
"Not good, young master!"
After eliminating the four black-clothed people, Yu Zixuan hurriedly ran towards the room where Chu Mo lived, and the moment he stepped into the courtyard, a pungent bloody breath rushed to his face.
Yu Zixuan looked up and saw Chu Mo standing in the courtyard wearing a clean white obscene robe, and at Chu Mo's feet, there were still the bodies of several killers lying quietly.
"Young master!"
Yu Zixuan hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "Zixuan's protection is not effective, and I hope that the young master will forgive his sins!" ”
"You are not to blame for this, get up."
Chu Mo waved his hand and said lightly.
"How?"
The moment Yu Zixuan stood up, Chu Mo asked casually.
Yu Zixuan nodded and said, "Four five-grade masters." ”
"It's interesting, it's only been four days since I entered Kyoto, and there will be a five-grade master who will appear to assassinate me." Chu Mo said expressionlessly.
"Young master, could it be the person behind the scenes back then?" Yu Zixuan asked with a frown.
When Chu Mo heard this, he shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid these people were sent by the prince, at today's court meeting, I let the prince lose face in front of the civil and military officials, with this prince's temperament, I am afraid that he will send someone to retaliate." ”
"It's not too early, clean up this place and rest early." After Chu Mo finished speaking, as if he was a nobody, his expression was extremely calm, and he turned around and re-entered the house.
Yu Zixuan looked at the corpses of several killers lying on the ground, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. It's only been a few days since I arrived in Kyoto, and I'm afraid that this kind of trouble will happen again and again in the future.
Immediately, Yu Zixuan clapped his palms, and several figures who were also dressed in black appeared in the courtyard after a short time, and then under Yu Zixuan's order, several people in black quickly cleaned up the corpses on the ground, and there was not even a trace of blood left, as if nothing had happened to Fang Cai.
……
Early the next morning.
Chu Mo, who was still asleep, was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Yu Zixuan stood outside the door, and before Chu Mo could speak, he heard Yu Zixuan say, "Young master, the master is coming to the house." ”
Taishi comes to the house?
Wen Haoxuan?
Why did he come here so early?
Although Chu Mo was puzzled in his heart, after all, the person who came was his future father-in-law, so Chu Mo naturally would not slack off. After a brief tidying up, Chu Mo went to the main hall.
"My father-in-law came to visit early in the morning, but my son-in-law failed to greet him, and I hope that my father-in-law will atone for his sins."
Walking into the main hall, Chu Mo saw Wen Haoxuan sitting inside, and immediately stepped forward with a smile.
Hearing Chu Mo's voice, people like Rao is Wen Haoxuan, who were not surprised, couldn't help but be stunned.
Good guy, Lord Yue's title is really smooth.
"Well, if you really look like a talent, the old man remembers, when I went to Beiliang Wangfu a few years ago, you were only so tall at that time, but I didn't expect to see it again, you actually grew so tall, it's really unforgiving."
Wen Haoxuan said with a smile.
"Lord Yue's praise, the idle son-in-law first came to Kyoto, it stands to reason that the idle son-in-law should go to visit the master, but I didn't expect to let the father-in-law come to the door in person, and I hope that the father-in-law will not blame."
Chu Mo smiled as he offered Wen Haoxuan a cup of tea.
And at this moment, Wen Haoxuan couldn't help but look Chu Mo up and down.
He had sent someone to investigate Chu Mo and knew that he was a cynical person who liked to linger in the land of fireworks, but when he saw it today, for some reason, he had a different view of Chu Mo in his heart.
is a talented person and speaks decently, if he hadn't investigated it in advance, maybe even he would have been difficult to associate the Chu Mo in front of him with the Chu Mo in other people's mouths.
Judging from Wen Haoxuan's feeling when he saw Chu Mo for the first time, if it weren't for the outside world's evaluation of him, he would be quite optimistic about this future idle son-in-law.
