Chapter 20: The Assassins
Leng Shuang couldn't break free, so he could only say: "Gu Tingyu, let me go, I want to go back to the capital, I must rush back to the capital as soon as possible." ”
"No, I will never let you go back to the capital!" Gu Tingyu said categorically, he couldn't let Leng Shuang go back to the capital, and he would definitely encounter a lot of dangers along the way, especially before he found out who that person was, he must ensure her safety.
"Gu Tingyu, I beg you, you let me go back, I have to go back!" Cold Frost says that she must find out who is behind the scenes and then expose him.
Gu Tingyu ignored Leng Shuang's pleading, he kissed Leng Shuang, and then bit Leng Shuang's lip fiercely, the smell of blood filled the breath of the two.
"Hmm~" Cold Frost snorted in pain.
Gu Tingyu heard the painful gasping sound of the cold frost, immediately let go of the cold frost, and then said, "I'm sorry, I hurt you." ”
Leng Shuang didn't speak, just lowered his head and wiped his mouth, and then said, "I'm hungry, you hurry up and get me something to eat." ”
"Okay." Gu Tingyu smiled, and then went to the kitchen, Leng Shuang lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest, she was tired, she had to sleep and recuperate before returning to the Beijing Palace.
Gu Tingyu came back from the kitchen with food, and he knocked lightly on the door: "I'm back, I'm eating." ”
"Okay." Leng Shuang answered, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"When we're full, we'll go." Cold Frost said as he sat on a stool.
Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Leng Shuang lowered his head to eat, Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang's head down and felt very pleasing to the eye, Leng Shuang's cheeks were a little crimson, but he couldn't hide her beauty, this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even in the capital, it was difficult to find such a girl.
Gu Tingyu frowned slightly, he felt that he seemed to have some magic obstacles, he shouldn't have any illusions about Leng Shuang, the two of them would never be, Leng Shuang didn't have him in his heart at all.
After eating, Gu Tingyu put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then helped Leng Shuang into the carriage.
Leng Shuang sat in the carriage and didn't say a word, Gu Tingyu didn't dare to disturb, the two of them just waited quietly, and after a while, Leng Shuang took the lead in asking, "Do you know where there is a shop selling medicinal herbs in the capital?" ”
Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "I know, I'll take you there." ”
Cold Frost nodded, she did need to buy a few herbs, because she was not in good health right now, and she had to use a few herbs.
Gu Tingyu drove to a shop called Yaowangtang with Cold Cream, Cold Frost paid the bill, Gu Tingyu packed the medicinal materials for Cold Frost, Cold Cream sorted out his things, and then stuffed things into the baggage.
"Let's go." Gu Tingyu said.
"Yes."
Cold Frost rode a horse and left the General's Mansion with Gu Tingyu.
Cold Frost watched the scenery on both sides of the street speed by, her eyes moistened a little.
This is her former hometown, and it is also the place where she has lived for 20 years, she was born and raised here, if it weren't for her parents' accident, she would still be the princess here, with fine clothes and food, and unlimited honor.
She misses her parents, her brother and sister-in-law, but unfortunately, she can't go back here, she doesn't have the face to go back, she can only escape now.
The carriage was driving slowly, and suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, Gu Tingyu looked up and found that there was a group of soldiers in front of him, driving away the people, Gu Tingyu hurriedly pulled the reins, and the horse stopped.
"What's wrong?" Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu with some concern.
"What's going on up ahead, I'll go down and take a look." After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage.
He ran over and saw the soldiers escorting a few men to this direction.
Gu Tingyu walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"These assassins are going to rob, and the brothers will catch these thieves and bring them back to the yamen." A soldier said loudly.
"What?" Gu Tingyu shouted in surprise.
Aren't these people the assassins they're looking for?
"Where are you guys? Do you know who we are? The soldier asked.
"We don't care who you are, in short, don't get in the way, we're in a hurry." The person in the lead scolded sharply, they had been waiting here for a long time, and this Gu Tingyu actually dared to block their path.
Gu Tingyu sneered and said, "You are from Qi State? ”
"How do you know?"
"Of course I know that your people stole money from me last night and were caught by me, so I advise you to surrender obediently." Gu Tingyu said lightly.
"Hahaha......" the people laughed mockingly, and then said, "Boy, which village are you from?" Dare to pretend to be a royal noble, let me tell you, the acquaintance quickly let us go, otherwise, I will kill your whole family, your wife and children don't want to live, if you don't believe it, just try! ”
When Gu Tingyu heard this, he immediately became angry: "Okay, since this is the case, I will send you back to the west, and throw your corpses into the mountains and forests to feed the wolves." ”
"You, you, and a few of you all get out of here." Gu Tingyu said, he held the hilt of the sword in his hand, exuding a cold murderous aura all over his body, and the people around him avoided one after another, although these people were fierce, they were afraid of Gu Tingyu's coercion, they were all afraid that Gu Tingyu would suddenly draw his sword, so they scattered and ran away, not daring to fight Gu Tingyu hard.
Gu Tingyu raised his vigilance and stared at these people, and Leng Shuang said, "Gu Tingyu, you should be careful. ”
Gu Tingyu glanced back at Leng Shuang and said, "Shuangshuang, you wait for me in the carriage for a while, and I'll go and arrest them all." ”
Gu Tingyu chased after the group of people as he spoke.
Gu Tingyu quickly caught up with the group of people, he took out his sword and went straight to those people, those people were so frightened when they saw this, they turned around and ran, but how could Gu Tingyu let them leave.
"Stand still, or I'll kill you." Gu Tingyu threatened.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me......" Those people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they really didn't understand why Gu Tingyu would catch up with them, and they wanted to kill them.
Gu Tingyu glanced at them with disdain, and he said coldly: "I'll count three times, if you don't stop, I'll cut off your arms and legs, so that you can't run away anymore!" ”
Gu Tingyu said, raised his sword and slashed at them, and those people were forced to stop helplessly.
Cold frost was in the carriage, looking at the situation outside through the gap in the curtain, Gu Tingyu's sword was sharp, and every time it would cut through the opponent's skin, blood splattered, staining the soil in front of the horse's hooves.
The horses' hooves trampled on the men, and the men fell in pools of blood, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
Gu Tingyu didn't stop, but got faster and faster, and finally, Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "You wait for me here, I'll be back in a while." ”
Leng Shuang snorted, watched Gu Tingyu leave, and then sat in place and waited for Gu Tingyu, at this time, the sound of horses' hooves came, Leng Shuang looked at the sound, and saw a gorgeous carriage galloping, and the curtain outside the carriage was thrown hunting.
Cold frost squinted his eyes, which was ...... Gu Tingyu, he actually came to her again, Leng Shuang watched Gu Tingyu get off the horse, and then walked towards her.
Leng Shuang watched Gu Tingyu walk towards her, her eyes flickered, and she stretched out her hand: "Gu Tingyu, didn't you say that you would marry me?" ”
Gu Tingyu grabbed Leng Shuang's hand, and then said, "Leng Shuang, let's go back, I don't want you to stay here." ”
"Gu Tingyu, you know that we are not suitable for each other, but you still want to marry me?" Cold Frost asked.
"I ......" Gu Tingyu hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "If you don't marry me, who do you want to marry, have you forgotten that the death of your father and mother is inseparable from our General's Mansion?" I promised you that I would help you get revenge! ”
Gu Tingyu said, and hugged Leng Shuang into his arms, he hugged Leng Shuang tightly, Leng Shuang did not resist, she knew that in this situation, she could only take advantage of the situation to get close to Gu Tingyu, and then seek refuge.
"Gu Tingyu, do you know that I need you very much now." Cold Frost whispered.
Gu Tingyu let go of Leng Shuang slightly, looking at Leng Shuang's watery eyes, he took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "Shuangshuang, from now on, I will protect you, I will not let anyone bully you, I will always love you and never let you down." ”
When Leng Shuang heard Gu Tingyu's words, tears couldn't stop flowing, she threw herself into Gu Tingyu's arms, crying and said, "I'm ...... too"
Gu Tingyu patted Leng Shuang's back and said, "Don't be afraid, Shuangshuang, I'm here with you, no one will hurt you." ”
Cold Frost nodded lightly in Gu Tingyu's arms.
Gu Tingyu calmed Leng Shuang's emotions for a long time, and then let Leng Shuang get back into the carriage.
"You go back first, I'm going to catch those assassins, so that I don't have too many nights, and if they escape, it will be troublesome." Leng Shuang said worriedly.
Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "Then pay attention to yourself, don't be reckless, if you encounter danger, hide in the carriage immediately." ”
"Hmm." Leng Shuang replied softly, watching Gu Tingyu turn over and disappear from sight.
Gu Tingyu had been tracking the assassins, but as he chased them, he suddenly felt a strange fragrance coming from behind him.
"Poisonous!" Gu Tingyu screamed secretly, and then immediately held his breath and closed his breath.
"Boy, I advise you to tie your hands and arrest it!" A sinister voice came into Gu Tingyu's ears, and then he smelled an extremely unpleasant smell of medicine.
"Hmph, I'm not going to be caught." Gu Tingyu gritted his teeth and said, and at the same time pulled out the saber on his waist and attacked the man in black.
Gu Tingyu's martial arts are very powerful, and his swordsmanship is exquisite, but as soon as he fought with the man, he was knocked off the horse by the other party, and the man rode the horse to run away, Gu Tingyu hurriedly jumped off the horse and supported his arm on the ground to relieve the pain of falling to the ground.
Gu Tingyu endured the pain, climbed to the side of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw Leng Shuang unconscious inside, his face was pale, and his lips were purple, like a symptom of poisoning, he immediately helped Leng Shuang into the carriage.
Cold Frost lay on the bed, her eyebrows furrowed, her lips trembling, and she looked like she was in pain.
"Frost, what's wrong with you?" Gu Tingyu asked.
Leng Shuang opened his eyes and said weakly, "I'm fine." ”
"How can you be okay, you must be poisoned, I'll let the imperial doctor take a look, don't worry, I will cure you, if you really have three long and two short, I will be very guilty, after all, it is because of me that you will be poisoned."
Gu Tingyu's words were not to lie to Leng Shuang, Leng Shuang's father and mother died because of saving Gu Tingyu, Gu Tingyu was indeed very guilty, and he had already identified Leng Shuang, so he was naturally unwilling to let Leng Shuang suffer this crime.
"You leave me alone, hurry up and send someone to inform the old lady, I don't want to alarm the master." Cold Frost said.
"I've already sent someone back to tell my grandmother, who is on her way now, and it is estimated that she will be able to come to the General's Mansion tomorrow morning." Gu Tingyu said.
When Leng Shuang heard Gu Tingyu's words, her heart suddenly warmed, with Gu Tingyu by her side, her heart was full of warmth.
Gu Tingyu helped Leng Shuang to the other end of the carriage, and then hugged her into his arms, Leng Shuang leaned on Gu Tingyu's chest, listening to Gu Tingyu's steady and powerful heartbeat.
Gu Tingyu gently kissed Cold Frost's forehead.
The atmosphere in the carriage became ambiguous, Gu Tingyu pressed Leng Shuang's head on his shoulder, Leng Shuang did not struggle, she quietly snuggled Gu Tingyu's chest.
