Chapter 6: There are Assassins

Before I knew it, I was outside the city gate.

It was late at night, and the gates were locked.

The soldiers defending the city heard that it was the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the envoys of the Wei Kingdom who were going to enter the city, so they hurriedly opened the city gate and went down to the city to greet them.

Gu Chong didn't go back to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion first, led the team directly, escorted Murong Yan, and went towards the Weiguo Pavilion with the Wei Guo convoy.

Outside the Ulguo Hotel.

As soon as Gu Chong got off the horse, he saw Yongli step forward with a smile and bow his head.

"There is a waiting escort for the assassin to wait in the side hall for a while, let our Highness bathe and change his clothes first."

Thinking about it, King You is the only son of the first emperor of the Wei Kingdom, and he has been expensive since he was a child, so he is naturally no better than those rough people who are used to crawling and rolling.

Now that he has come in the dust, it is understandable that he wants to bathe and change his clothes first.

So Gu Chong arched his hand to the carriage and raised his voice: "Since this is the case, then I will wait for King You!" ”

Chu Yunnuo was noncommittal, and ordered in a cold voice: "Qiao Shi, Su Cheng, you two, greet and wait for this king." ”

On the left and right sides of the carriage, two burly men respectfully saluted the carriage and sang in unison before walking in front of Gu Chong.

"Gu Hou, please!"

Gu Chong had already noticed these two very strong men who followed the carriage closely, and they were expected to be Chu Yunnuo's right-hand men.

So Gu Chong ordered his henchmen to escort Murong Yan and entered the Wei Guo Pavilion through the side door together, only ordering the other Leguo officers and soldiers to go back and wait.

For a time, the officers and soldiers of Leguo were scattered.

Yongli gently pushed open the carriage door and asked Chu Yunnuo to come out.

But seeing Chu Yunnuo's face as white as paper, his eyebrows were compact, and he hurriedly hugged him.

"Your Highness, it's better to ......"

"It's okay!"

Chu Yunnuo's phoenix eyes were dark, and he interrupted Yongli's words in a cold voice, and he entered through the main gate and went straight to the main house.

Yongli saw that Chu Yunnuo insisted on refusing to rest, so he had to order someone to get warm water and wipe the blood gushing out of Chu Yunnuo's wound due to cracking.

Yongli's eyes were full of distress, and he couldn't help but persuade again: "Although this hundred flowers stop bleeding and scatter has the miraculous effect of detoxification and healing, it is not a panacea after all!" Why don't Your Highness rest for a few days, and then ...... when your complexion is better?"

"Noise!"

Chu Yunnuo's voice was as cold as ice water, but it was full of majesty.

Yongli Wuzi leaned over to apply medicine and bandage Chu Yunnuo, and said: "Even if His Highness doesn't care about his body, the slave is only afraid that Gu Chong will see His Highness's complexion and guess the inside story......"

Chu Yunnuo's eyes lit up and he was sober.

Suddenly, he took out his dagger, and before Yongli could react, he had already cut off his left arm!

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

Yongli's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

……

The other side.

Murong Yan was escorted into the side hall of the Wei State Pavilion by the officers and soldiers of the Le Kingdom.

But I saw that the side hall was brightly lit and the windows were bright and clean.

The floor covered with cashmere carpet is soft and comfortable to step on.

The furnishings in the house, from the utensils to the curtains, are all elegant and exquisite, decently furnished, showing taste!

Gu Chong had no intention of visiting, his eyes fell on the black-clothed man who was lying on the ground and was breathing, and shouted: "Say!" Who sent you to kill the envoys of the Ling Kingdom? ”

The man in black wilted and whispered, "I have already said what I should have said." If you want to kill or chop, you just give it a good time! ”

When Murong Yan heard this, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she lowered her eyes to look at this dying man in black, she couldn't imagine that he could be so strong, and she admired him a little more in her heart.

Gu Chong had a nameless fire burning in his heart, and when he rushed up, he kicked the man in black in the lower abdomen.

The man in black was in great pain, and spurted out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Qiao Shi and Su Cheng saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Gu Chong.

"Gu Hou should wait for our Highness to come down and try again! This assassin has already suffered a heavy punishment on the way, and if he continues to fight, I am afraid that he will not survive. ”

Qiao Shi's swarthy face did not have a trace of expression, and he was as cold and hard as a fossil.

"That's it! Didn't Hou Yemo want to kill people? ”

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Gu Chong's body was shocked.

His thick eyebrows and leopard eyes glared at Su Cheng with anger, but he didn't dare to attack.

In desperation, he turned his head to look at Murong Yan and asked in a deep voice, "You can see clearly!" This man in black, but the person you saved? ”

"What is Master Hou talking about? I've never saved anyone! Master Hou doesn't want to be untrustworthy and wronged me casually! ”

Murong Yan glanced at him and didn't admit it.

She's not stupid! She can't do anything that is full of things.

Qiao Shi and Su Cheng remained silent, secretly glanced at each other, and a trace of doubt on their faces flashed.

Gu Chong was furious, rushed to Murong Yan, and grabbed her wrist.

He used a lot of force, his eyes seemed to be sparkling, and Murong Yan groaned in pain.

At that moment, an exclamation came from outside the house: "There are assassins! There are assassins! ”

Everyone was taken aback and hurriedly chased after the door.

Murong Yan was scared in her heart, so she had to follow the flow of people.

If she stays here and is mistakenly killed by this sudden assassin, then she will really be wronged!

Until the outside of the main house, I saw that many elites of the Ulva Kingdom had surrounded the surroundings like iron buckets.

Gu Chong stepped forward quickly.

At this time, Yongli came out of the house in a panic and said to him: "Our Highness has been assassinated!" ”

"What?" Gu Chong was shocked, and his face suddenly changed.

"Master Hou, come into the house and take a look!"

Yongli said, and asked Gu Chong to enter the house.

Gu Chong was so anxious that he took two steps in three steps, and when he entered the house, Huo Ran saw a handsome young man sitting on the carved beauty couch covered with white tiger skin.

The young man's black hair cascaded down to his waist like a waterfall, he was wearing a snow-satin bedgown, a cyan and white fox fur-rimmed cloak, and the towel in his right hand pressed hard against the sword wound on his left arm, and his face was slightly pale.

Looking at the situation, it looks like being stabbed in the shower and changing clothes!

Gu Chong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed.

"King Yoo is all right?"

"It's just that I was stabbed by that assassin, don't worry, I can't even kill this king!"

Chu Yunnuo's fluttering tone made Gu Chong tremble.

"What do you mean by this?"

"As soon as the Dongling envoy entered the territory of Leguo, he was assassinated. And when the king first arrived at the hotel, he was assassinated...... If it weren't for the timely arrival of my Wei Kingdom guards, what I am waiting to see now would probably be the corpse of this king! ”

Gu Chong was startled, and just arched his hand and lowered his eyes: "King You's words, Gu is terrified!" ”

At this time, Yongli had already held a tray containing gold sore medicine and white gauze, and bandaged Chu Yunnuo with medicine.

I saw Chu Yunnuo sneering: "What is there to be afraid of Gu Hou? If the country does not want to fulfill the treaty of that year, it can openly and honestly negotiate with the three countries. Since ancient times, the two armies have been at war, and they have not killed each other. Leguo will bring us into the territory and assassinate them one by one, aren't you afraid that the three kingdoms of Wei, Qi, and Ling will ask the Emperor of Leguo for an explanation? ”

Gu Chong trembled and buried his head under his fist.

"Leguo has never intended to provoke other countries. Dongling's envoy was assassinated and King You's wounded, who did it has not yet been investigated! Please also ask the king of you not to be hastily convicted and trap the country in injustice! ”

Today's Leguo is already stormy, like a flat boat in the monstrous waves, how can it still withstand the aggression of other countries?

Chu Yunnuo sneered disappre"st.

"The black-clothed assassin has confessed that he was ordered by Cao Yuan, the prime minister of the country, to assassinate the envoy. The confessions are there! ”

As he spoke, someone had already handed the confession with the bloody palm print to Gu Chong.

"In black and white, what else does Gu Hou have to say?"

Gu Chong buried his head in reading the confession carefully, and his originally bronzed face turned pale.

At that moment, someone came in and reported: "Your Highness, the assassin jumped onto the roof and soon disappeared." Do you want your subordinates to send more people to investigate? ”

"No need......

Hearing Chu Yunnuo's fluttering voice, Gu Chong raised his eyes and looked.

I saw the handsome young man with a bloodless face, his expression was like frost, and the words that came out of his mouth were shocking: "I'm afraid that it will be in vain to dispatch the guards of the whole city!" ”

"Based on the words of the black-clothed assassin alone, how can he convict Le Guo?"

Gu Chong was in a hurry!

Chu Yunnuo sneered in his heart.

However, there was still no emotion on his impeccably delicate face.

"If Gu Hou doesn't believe him, he can interrogate the assassin himself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of rushing footsteps approaching.

A person outside the door raised his voice to report: "Your Highness, the assassin in black...... Dead! ”

"What?"

Gu Chong's eyes widened, he rushed out of the door, grabbed the man's collar and asked, "Fang Cai is still alive, why is he dead?" ”

The man was so frightened by Gu Chong that his legs became weak, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Still Yongli stepped forward to persuade Gu Chong to let go, only to listen to the man's composure report.

"Just wait to do something to the black-clothed assassin...... Presumably, the black-clothed assassin was so badly injured that he died. ”

Although it is the truth, the implication is that Gu Chong is suspected of killing people and killing people.

Although Gu Chong is smart, he has a strong temperament. At this moment, he was so wronged, and he became more and more angry and burned his eyebrows.

He looked at Murong Yan who was standing outside the house, like a wounded beast.

Murong Yan's heart trembled, and before she could react, Gu Chong had already rushed to the front, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her into the main house.

"Let go of me! Let me go...... It hurts! ”

Murong Yan felt that the bones in her wrist were about to be crushed, and Rao was struggling desperately, but it was useless.

Gu Chong pulled her in front of Chu Yunnuo and shouted, "If you don't want to die, just confess honestly in front of Ben Hou and King You!" Is the man in black you saw just now the one you covered for the afternoon? ”

Murong Yan rubbed his wrist that was pinched red, and his eyes unintentionally glanced at the handsome young man sitting on the beauty couch, and his eyes suddenly widened.

No wonder she felt that the voice of King You was exactly the same as that of the young man in the forest!

Sure enough, it was the same person!

At this moment, Chu Yunnuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Murong Yan was unharmed, and asked quietly, "Have you seen the black-clothed assassin in the afternoon?" ”

Murong Yan came back to her senses, blinked her butterfly-like eyelashes, and said innocently, "What black-clothed assassin?" I've never seen it! ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Gu Chong roar: "You girl, you still have to lie!" ”

Murong Yan stared at Gu Chong's flushed face, and was about to speak, when she heard Chu Yunnuo's lazy voice sound.

"Gu Hou wouldn't think that if you just catch a mountain village girl, you want to overturn the confession of the black-clothed assassin, right?"

What?

actually said that she was a mountain village girl!

Murong Yan blew her beard and stared at Chu Yunnuo with a glare.

saw that the guy's expression was as cold as ever, and a touch of ridicule flashed in his eyes, looking at her with a smile.
