Chapter 5: The Man in Black

Putting down the bamboo chopsticks, Murong Yan got up and walked towards the door.

I saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing in, as if Murong Yan and Murong Qin were transparent, swinging their swords and going straight to each house.

Murong Yan stepped out of the threshold, looked at Gu Hou, who was majestic under the moon, and asked as if she didn't know why: "Master Hou only brought someone to search the house in the afternoon, I don't know why I came here at this time?" ”

Gu Chong didn't answer.

But seeing that his sharp eyes were cold and his face was pale, he stared straight at Murong Yan, like a lion who might get angry at any time.

Murong Yan didn't panic at all, pretended to be innocent, and stood in place without saying a word.

After a while, a soldier dragged the blood-stained quilt from the back room out.

"Report to the Hou Ye, I found a blood-stained bedding!"

Gu Chongming frowned, and whispered to Murong Yan: "What explanation do you have?" ”

"The folk girl was injured in her foot, and she jumped out of the window this afternoon and shed a lot of blood......" Murong Yan lifted her skirt unhurriedly, "Presumably when I changed the dressing just now, the blood stained the bedding." ”

Gu Chong swept towards Murong Yan's injured right foot, but he didn't believe it.

Murong Yan had to remove the strip of blood cloth wrapped around her feet in order to gain trust.

"Master Hou doesn't believe it, please take a look!"

I saw that there were two blood holes the size of mung beans on her white ankles, as if she had been bitten by a snake.

Since ancient times, a woman's skin should not be easily revealed. As a modern person, Murong Yan naturally didn't care about this, but at this moment, Gu Chong was taken aback by the woman's bold behavior.

But he secretly speculated that maybe this woman made this decision in order to get rid of the crime, but it was understandable.

After only a glance, Gu Chong looked away and lowered his eyes in thought.

After a while, his sword-like gaze fell on Murong Yan's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Girl, harboring Qin is a capital crime that is full of beheading!" ”

Murong Yan pretended to be innocent and said: "Although the folk girl is stupid, she also knows what to do and what not to do. Hou Ye can rest assured......"

Before she could finish speaking, a silver light slashed in front of her, and a bright and dangling knife was already on her white and smooth neck.

"I'm going to give you one last chance! Where is the man in black now? ”

Seeing this, Murong Qin's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down and stepped forward, begging, "How could the little girl harbor the Qin criminals?" Please also ask Hou Ye to take a clear look! ”

Murong Yan's eyes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Gu Chong without blinking.

"Lord Hou is eager to arrest Qin, but he can't wronged people, right? Folk girl, I haven't seen any people in black......"

"You still want to quibble?"

Before Murong Yan finished speaking, Gu Chong had already interrupted her in a deep voice.

"During the day, if you really think that we are waiting for the gel clothing bureau to get people, even if you want to escape, you will not be stupid enough to cover up with a black cloth. Wouldn't that be even more striking? ”

When Murong Yan heard this, her heart trembled.

No wonder Gu Chong came back so soon, he must have figured this out, and was sure that during the day, in order to cover the injured young man, she made up lies to deceive him.

She Murong Yan prides herself on being smart, but she didn't expect to do a stupid thing that has no silver of three hundred taels here!

Thinking of this, she laughed at herself for a while.

"I advise you to be honest, otherwise you ......"

Before Gu Chong finished speaking, he heard a string of neat footsteps not far away, as if he was walking towards this side.

He sat on his horse, turned his head to follow the sound, and saw a group of torch-bearers slowly approaching in the moonlight.

At this time, some soldiers came to report: "Lord Qiqi, the envoy of the Wei Kingdom has arrived!" ”

Gu Chong's eyes flashed with a little surprise, and he put away the big knife on Murong Yan's shoulder and neck.

Just as he was about to lift the reins and turn the horse's head to greet him, he saw a magnificent carriage surrounded by the team of Wei Guo, which stopped outside the courtyard, blocking the dirt road that was not wide.

Murong Qin's family has lived in this wilderness for more than ten years, where have they seen such a big battle? They were so frightened that they hid in their own homes and didn't dare to come out.

Gu Chong's eyes fell on the carriage at the mouth of the muddy courtyard.

I saw that next to the carriage, a young man in a light blue robe stepped forward.

That young man's face is like a moon, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his eyebrows and eyes are smiling, he is really beautiful!

He only bowed his head to Gu Chong slightly, which was regarded as a salute.

"His Royal Highness King Youwang sent an envoy to your country, passing through here, I heard that the Marquis of Zhenyuan is here, and I came to see you!"

When Gu Chong heard the words of this young man, he knew that the person who came was the King of Wei Kingdom!

I have heard that Chu Yunnuo, the king of Wei Guoyou, is handsome and unparalleled. Unexpectedly, even the little attendant beside him was born like a fairychild!

Gu Chong dismounted, strode to the carriage, and bowed.

"I don't know if King You is here, Gu Chong is far away."

"You don't have to be polite."

Hearing the cold sound floating from the carriage, Murong Yan froze.

How could it be so similar......

"This king heard that Gu Hou is here to arrest the Qin criminals?"

Chu Yunnuo's tone was light, like the petals that quietly fell at night.

"Not bad......"

Without waiting for Gu Chong to finish speaking, Chu Yunnuo had already preemptively said, "Coincidentally." On the way here, the king caught a man in black with a suspicious appearance. I don't know, but the person who is waiting to be arrested? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the officers and soldiers of the Wei State dragging a scarred man in black up and throwing it in front of Gu Chong.

Murong Yan looked at it from a distance, and saw that the figure of the man in black was exactly the same as the young man in the forest, and she couldn't help but twitch in her heart.

It's a pity that the light is too dim and too far away, and she can't see the appearance of the man in black clearly. I could only see that the man seemed to be dying, lying on the mud and breathing.

Gu Chong took advantage of the light of the torch to take a closer look.

I saw that the long arrow stuck in the back of the man in black was the silver hook and white feather arrow specially made by his Gu family. And the position of the arrow of the man in black is exactly the same as the position of the arrow of the man in black who escaped!

Gu Chong was shocked and suspicious, and raised his eyelids to look at the carriage.

was about to speak, but was robbed by Chu Yunnuo for a while: "This king has already tortured this person." He vomited all the things he should have vomited......"

Gu Chong shuddered.

I only heard Chu Yunnuo continue: "The assassination of the envoy of the Dongling Kingdom, such a big thing, can Gu Hou think that it can still be hidden?" ”

Gu Chong's eyes flashed slightly, lowered his eyes and arched his hand to the carriage, and said, "Please be cautious!" Ben Hou just wanted to wait for the truth to be found out, and then give an explanation to Ling Guo. Now that the Assassin had been captured by King You, Ben Hou brought him back and interrogated him carefully. Come! ”

"Wait!"

The Leguo soldiers were about to step forward to take people, but Chu Yunnuo stopped coldly.

Gu Chong's eyes were like electricity, and he stared at the carriage.

I only heard the cold voice like jade in the cold pool and said: "This person was captured by my Wei Kingdom, how can there be any reason to hand it over to Gu Hou?" ”

"The envoy of the Lingguo was assassinated in the territory of Leguo, and this case should naturally be handled by my Leguo. The king of You, as a guest of our country, will take the assassin for Ben Hou, and Ben Hou will definitely tell His Majesty......"

"It's a mistake!" Chu Yunnuo interrupted in a cold voice, "The envoys of the Ling Kingdom and the envoys of this king to your country are all escorting this year's gel clothes. Now that the envoy of the Ling State has been assassinated, the king is panicked. Let this king leave this person behind, and after consulting with the ministers of the other two countries, he will make a decision! ”

Gu Chong heard the meaning of Chu Yun's promise, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "You Wang......"

"How?" Chu Yunnuo's voice didn't rise and fall at all, but it was terrifyingly cold, "Gu Houmo doesn't want to fight this king?" ”

As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers of the Ulva Kingdom shook as if they had been touched by someone.

Seeing this, the group of Leguo soldiers who followed Gu Chong also drew their long swords in unison.

The current situation, a fight, is about to break out.

Murong Yan and Murong Qin's mother and daughter hugged each other, lest they fight and kill the good people by mistake.

At this time, I only heard Gu Chong shouting: "Put away all the swords for me!" ”

Murong Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it, Gu Chong is a smart person, and he naturally knows that if he openly acts with King Youyou of Wei Guo, he will only be exploited by others and induce a national disaster!

"Separation ......"

Hearing Chu Yunnuo's call, the handsome young man stood beside the carriage and replied respectfully: "The slave is here!" ”

"It seems that this farm is too small to accommodate so many of us." Chu Yunnuo said lazily, his tone was still as calm as water.

The young entourage named Yongli nodded and answered "yes", and said to Gu Chong with a smile: "Our prince first made your country, and it is rare to meet Gu Hou, so let's bother Gu Hou to lead the way into the city." ”

"It's an honor!"

Although he said polite words in his mouth, Gu Chong's resolute face was extremely ugly.

He turned his head to look left and right, then took the reins and rode to the front of the Ulguo convoy and led the way.

Immediately, the sound of wheels rolling sounded.

Chu Yunnuo, who had endured the pain and confronted Gu Chong for a long time, was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the voices of the Murong family's mother and daughter at the back of the team.

"Yan'er ......"

"Mother......

"Don't arrest my Yan'er, if you want to arrest me, this old woman......"

"Mother......

"Yan'er ......"

Chu Yunnuo's cold eyes flashed, and he raised his voice to ask: "Is Gu Hou actually trying to rob the people's daughter?" ”

Gu Chong led the way on horseback, and said fearlessly: "King You has misunderstood. This woman is related to the assassin, and I am going to arrest her back to interrogate her carefully! ”

Chu Yunnuo's heart twitched, and his handsome face was suddenly covered with a layer of haze.

"In that case, let the king take it back to the hotel and inquire about it together......"

Before the words fell, I heard Gu Chong say unceremoniously: "This woman is from my country, don't dare to bother King You!" ”

Chu Yunnuo frowned, and his voice was cold: "But this king just glanced at the woman, and it seems that she is not yet eighteen. Since it is a gelcoat that has not yet been selected, this king naturally has the right to ask! ”

When Gu Chong heard this, a touch of displeasure crossed his eyes.

He turned his head and glanced angrily at the carriage behind him, "Since King You has spoken, then I will take her to the hotel tomorrow and let her confront the black-clothed assassin." ”

"Don't be tomorrow......" Chu Yunnuo's expression was uncertain, "The Dongling envoy was assassinated, and this king may not be able to sleep." Gu Houruo didn't mind, so he took the woman to the hotel with him, and tried the case overnight! ”

Let Murong Yan stay in Zhenyuan Houfu for one night, God knows what will happen!

How can Chu Yunnuo rest assured?

And Gu Chong listened to Chu Yunnuo's words at this moment, and his heart was even more suspicious.

But if he can be one step ahead of Qi Guo and Ling Guo and review the case with Wei Guo, Le Guo will be able to seize the opportunity. Gu Chong naturally couldn't ask for it.

So his face was a little gentle, and he pursed his lips and said, "If King You wants to try this case at night, I am willing to accompany him!" ”

Chu Yunnuo stopped speaking, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
