Chapter 16: Suspicious Tonight
Listening to Chu Beibei's tone, she seems to know a lot of things about Yuyin?
The last time I heard the evaluation of Yu Yin, it came out of the mouth of the Empress Dowager Tang, could it be that the Xizhao royal family was very impressed with her?
"Grandma, Chunchao is not feeling well, let the maid accompany you when you go out later." Interrupting Chu Lingyue's thoughts, Qiu Ri whispered.
Nodding, she instructed the servants to rearrange the ancestral hall, settle the affairs of the house, and immediately set off to the shop to continue her search work.
"Master, the good news from the front line, saying that the commander broke into the enemy camp alone, captured the leader of the other side alive, and captured 30,000 elite soldiers. The boss is the young master of the Tang family, and the news has spread to the palace, and I heard that the queen mother is preparing for the reward. β
Royal Dragon Division, Liu Heng reported softly.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Chu Banshi looked at the drawings he had drawn with admiration, and then raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and the color in his eyes was cold for a moment.
Until the moon hung high in the night, the tracking Gu sent out by Chu Lingyue did not move at all, so far, she had to take the nursing home to find it herself.
This is the time when the night market is in full swing, and the streets and alleys are full of people, and the noisy noise and non-stop crowding affect everyone's judgment and attention very much.
"I'm afraid it's not a good idea to look for it so aimlessly, it's better to find an excuse to let the government close the city, firstly, there is a time buffer, and secondly, it can also reduce the pressure."
After the autumn day of the separate group with Chu Lingyue was suggested, the people around him stopped.
"What's that place over there? Why isn't it as lively as the places you just passed? Chu Lingyue asked.
As far as the eye can see, it is dark in front of you, only a few scribbled street lamps are faintly bright, compared with the prosperity behind you, it is like two worlds.
"We're out of the center of the capital." "The emperor believed that the circle class was very important, and he did not allow the rich and powerful to be in the same league as the untouchables and the poor, so he ordered the capital to be redivided, with the imperial palace as the center, and let the former live in the inner circle, so that all the resources could be given to the people who should be given." β
Hearing this, Chu Lingyue only felt ridiculous.
The first emperor could expect that Chu was good at hiding and handed over the Dragon Division to him, how could he not expect the prince to be so stupid and incompetent?
Could it be that this throne was not the current emperor's in the first place?
"Ah Fu is very likely to hide in the outer circle, you go to find everyone to come over, it will be much safer for us to go together." Chu Lingyue said.
The lights over there are blind, and judging from the situation described by Autumn, I'm afraid the security is not much better.
Qiu Ri said: "We don't have time, if Ah Fu is really over there, it will be too easy for him to sneak out of the capital!" Most of the jars over there are broken, and everything is a mess......"
Chu Lingyue was still hesitating, but when she saw the tracking Gu coming back from the front, she was furious.
Ah Fu's bastard boy is really hiding in the outer circle!
Just as she was about to set off, she saw Autumn stunned and motionless.
"What's wrong?"
ββ¦β¦ No, the maid is a little afraid of the dark. β
"Then follow me."
Under the guidance of tracking Gu, the master and servant walked through seven or eight alleys, who knew that as soon as they arrived at a narrow street, the Gu insects were scattered like flying sand, and in just a moment, Chu Lingyue felt that something was wrong.
Three or four dark shadows quickly enveloped the surroundings, and then came the exclamation of autumn.
and each of them had a knife around their necks.
The cold and sharp sword light flickered over Chu Lingyue's eyes in the moonlight, allowing her to see the serpentine tattoo on the forehead of the person in front of her at a glance.
Her face turned cold in the dark night, "You are really daring, dare to move on my head?" β
Behind him, the assassin scoffed:
"I know that you are the famous Princess Jing, we won't do anything to you, as long as you hand over the key to Yunzhongmen, we will let you go immediately, otherwise you will watch your little maid be made into human meat slices by us."
"Do you think it's better to cut off her ears first, or to gouge out her eyes first? I know that there is no affection between your master and servant, but you still have to do something to save face, don't ask us to spread your cold-blooded and ruthless words to the outside world in the future, beautiful and moving Princess Jing. β
"No, don't! I can't die! Grandma save me! Ahh
The successive intimidations of several people frightened Akihi, and they laughed even more rampantly as they listened to her cries.
Finally, one of them got impatient, "Don't toast and don't eat and drink!" Attract people in a moment, and both of you will die! Hand over the key! β
Chu Lingyue, who had been silent, finally made a decision after thinking about it.
The virtue of tracking the Gu people to run away when they encounter danger is not good, and they have to go back to the furnace and rebuild.
"What a coincidence, I carry it with me." With a chuckle, she raised her right hand and slowly opened her palm towards the people, "Come closer." β
Just as these people were excitedly doing so, a bug covered in a platinum halo poked out from Chu Lingyue's palm, not allowing them to react, and the worm instantly squirted out a fine and tough silver filament that was held in their seven orifices and hearts!
In just one breath, the blood of these people's bodies flowed into the insect's body along the silver thread, making the light on the insect's body even more dazzling!
Before they died, their eyes widened with horror.
"You, you actually coexist with the Gu King! You're not a scorn! What are you...... Who ......"
"It's stupid and useless." Chu Lingyue's face was not warm, and she looked away when she saw that these people were not even scum.
Although these people are useless, their obedient Gu King fills their stomachs.
"Are there any injuries?" She asked Autumn.
Autumn was already scared silly, and shivered for a while before shaking his head, "No, let's go find Ah Fu." β
Looking at her who rushed in front of her this time, Chu Lingyue was suspicious again.
The tracking Gu had already been scared away at that time, without their guidance, how could Qiu Ri find where Ah Fu was?
She also seems to know the environment of the outer circle, and before and after entering this area, her behavior is very different from usual, could it be that these assassins have something to do with her?
In addition to doubts, Chu Lingyue realized one more thing.
These people knew her identity as Princess Jing, and they had a clear purpose, they not only knew the Gu King, but also regarded her as a scornful person at the beginning. The only one who can draw a straight line with all conditions is Yu Yin.
In addition, the Empress Dowager Tang said that after Yu Yin "died", the Scorns took her clothes to make a clothed mound, so there is a great possibility to prove that she is a Laughers!
"Grandma? It turns out that you have received instructions to track Gu? "The crowd suddenly appeared.
Chu Lingyue nodded, "The tracking Gu that guided us has dispersed, since you are here, let's go ahead and lead the way." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she sniffed the tip of her nose and looked up in a certain direction, "What is that place?" β
"The castle warehouse, because there are not many people in the outer circle, so the castle warehouse is built in their center, and there is another one in the south, so it is very convenient on both sides."
The nurse's answer made Chu Lingyue silent.
Since it is a city warehouse and it is in the outer circle, how can there be a faint fragrance of Rasheng flowers?
Just as he was wondering, a hurried sound of horses' hooves approached, and soon an armed team passed through the middle of the street, "Get out of the way!" The Dragon Division does something! β
"There are assassins in the city! The lord ordered the city to be closed! From now on, the whole city will not be allowed to leave the city! If there is a violator, you will be killed! β
The loud warning sound made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
"What kind of case do you have to let the Ryuji take over personally......"
"The master inside would rather kill the wrong 10,000 than let go of one, grandma, why don't we go back first? In case you hit the knife edge, you will be in trouble. β
Chu Lingyue, who knew who the master of the Imperial Dragon Division was, naturally ignored the admonition of the nursing court, "Just in time for the people of the Imperial Dragon Division to seal the city, Ah Fu can't escape no matter what, taking advantage of this good opportunity to catch him is the key." β
"Yes."
Sure enough, as soon as the lockdown order was issued, Ah Fu, who was about to escape at the gate of the city, was forced to flee to the center of the outer circle, and under the guidance of tracking Gu, everyone quickly found him.
Seeing Chu Lingyue personally leading the team, Ah Fu felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Grandma!" Spare the little one! A letter suddenly came from home saying that the old mother was seriously ill and difficult to treat, and the young one just wanted to go home to visit relatives...... I forgot the rules in a hurry, please open up! β
Ah Fu burst into tears during the words, and kowtowed again and again to appear very sincere.
Unexpectedly, the frightened autumn day returned to his soul this time, and he rushed out at the moment to scold:
"Your mother passed away a year ago, you took leave to return to your hometown on the eighth day of the lunar month, and only came back on June 15, saying that you met robbers on the road and were robbed of money and couldn't come back in time, and said that you got lost and delayed time, if it weren't for me thinking that you were honest, I wouldn't introduce you to a new errand! You're talking like this again, could it be that you are a mother everywhere? β
As soon as these words came out, Ah Fu wanted to die.
Chu Lingyue almost always takes the Spring Dynasty when she goes out to run errands, how do you know that she brought the autumn today?
"Hmph." Chu Lingyue was provoked by the conversation between the two of them and snorted coldly, "You are really a mother everywhere?" β
Ah Fu knew that she was ruthless, so she didn't dare to lie this time, so she quickly replied: "Back to grandma's words...... The little one isγI don't want to be your Deadpool anymore...... That worm is disgusting when I think about it, but when I was bought, I didn't know I was going to do this kind of work! Please put the little one! The little one won't reveal anything about you! β
Hearing this, the corners of Chu Lingyue's lips raised slightly.
"You have your freedom to pursue, and I have my mission to go. But you can't even get the most basic honesty, so why are you begging me to give you a way to live? β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Ah Fu felt even more suffocated, but soon he couldn't feel anything.
Because Chu Lingyue released countless blood Gus, he was eaten all in the blink of an eye.
"Grandma's forgiveness, when you asked people to buy us, it was a guarantee provided by the servant...... But I didn't expect him to be so unproductive......" Autumn said with bated breath.
Looking at the dark color in her eyes that had not yet been hidden, Chu Lingyue only replied: "Greed for life and fear of death, isn't it human nature." β
"Grandma is right."
"Autumn."
"Yes."
"Good name."
The master's inexplicable words made Qiu Ri even more flustered, and before she could thank her, Chu Lingyue glanced sideways: "You can reward him for me." β
