Chapter 39: Assassination
However, the second son only smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
At the same time, he let go of her hand.
Although Ruan Tang was puzzled, she was soon affected by the hot atmosphere, and she jumped with someone else.
And outside this lively West Garden, a group of black-clothed people were hiding in the night towards King Ning's Mansion.
In less than a moment, they all crossed the high wall and sneaked to the outskirts of the West Garden.
Nanfeng, who had retreated, walked back to Chu Mu's side again, and leaned over again to report: "Your Highness, people are here, do you want to act now?" ”
"No, wait until they enter this garden, and then capture them."
As he spoke, he also got up from the low stool and walked in the direction of Ruan Tang.
At this moment, dozens of black shadows suddenly descended in the air, and the long sword in his hand flashed with a cold glow, all stabbing towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu had already taken precautions, and when the swords of those black-clothed men stabbed over, he dodged and avoided them.
Soon he drew the soft sword hidden at his waist and entangled with the men in black.
Nanfeng had already rushed over when the black-clothed men landed, as did the other guards, some of them helping Chu Mu defend against the enemy, and some of them were protecting the dancing people.
When everyone saw the man in black descending from the sky, they all screamed in horror, and then began to flee.
In an instant, the entire West Garden became extremely panicked, screaming, crying, and chaotic.
Ruan Tang was naturally afraid, but she was pushed by the crowd, caught in the crowd, and couldn't escape.
Just when she finally squeezed into the outer circle, she suddenly felt that she had been hit, and her strength was very strong.
She stumbled and threw herself forward.
And the direction she pounced in was the place where Chu Mu was entangled with the man in black.
Ruan Tang secretly said that it was not good, and wanted to stop his steps, but he couldn't stop it.
She instinctively shouted at Chu Mu, who was not far from her, "Your Highness, help." ”
Chu Mu heard her voice and looked back, and the moment he looked at it, a long sword of a man in black stabbed in front of him.
Ruan Tang's eyes widened in horror and wanted to remind her, but before she could speak, she was hugged by him.
She was held in front of him and blocked the stabbing sword.
Ruan Tang only felt a pain in his chest, lowered his head, and found that a small section of the long sword was exposed on his chest.
Then with a 'poof', the long sword disappeared, and she was carried back for a moment, and when she threw herself back in front of Chu Mu, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
She even felt a warm liquid gurgling out of the place where the sword had just been pierced.
She raised her eyes to look at Chu Mu who was close in front of her, with an incredulous expression.
And after Chu Mu was stabbed with a sword, her eyes instantly turned red, and her body was full of murderous aura, like a hell Yama.
He held the soft sword in his hand, and the internal force penetrated the sword body, and the sword body made a clanging sound.
He hugged Ruan Tang's waist and began to fight wildly.
At first, he wanted to keep his mouth alive, but at this time, he just wanted to cut them all under his sword.
But in the end, there was still a remnant of reason, and he had not forgotten the purpose of today's banquet.
"Leave one or two alive, and the rest, kill!" He gave the order with a loud shout.
Soon, several men in black were pierced through the throats by his sword.
And Nanfeng and his guards also killed him, and soon, most of the men in black were beheaded by their swords.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the remaining ones turned and fled.
Nanfeng immediately took the guards to chase after him.
Chu Mu put Ruan Tang on the ground, checked her injuries, and saw that the location where she was stabbed by the sword did not hurt the vital point, and said to her: "Wait for me to come back." ”
He had been planning for so long, and at this moment, it was impossible for him to let them escape like this.
After saying that, they chased in the direction that the south wind was chasing.
Ruan Tang, who was lying on the ground, was dying, her wound was very painful, and she thought that she should faint from pain at this time.
But her mind was clear.
Even the picture of Chu Mu pulling her over to block the sword kept replaying in his mind, as well as the figure of him leaving her to chase the assassin in a hurry just now.
The corners of her lips curled into a sneer.
She knew he had no feelings for her, and even if he did, she knew what was going on on the bed.
In his eyes, she should be just like what the county lord of Jingning said, just a lowly businessman, and she is not even worthy of being a concubine for him.
How could he care about his own life or death?
Didn't he mercilessly stab himself not so long ago?
What's the point of pulling her to block the sword?
It's just that this sword is not like the one he stabbed last time, this sword, she was suffocated in pain, and even the heart seemed to be torn apart.
She wanted to raise her hand to cover the wound, she wanted the blood to flow slowly, not to die so fast, but she had no strength in her whole body, and she couldn't even raise her hand.
She looked at the bright moon in the sky, her vision blurring.
Chu Mu left Ruan Tang to pursue the assassins, and it didn't take long for him to capture a few alive, but he was in a hurry to return home, and he was careless for a moment, and he was shot by the cold arrows in the shadows.
The momentary carelessness made all his plans fail, and Chu Mu's whole body was terrifyingly cold.
But he still returned to King Ning's mansion at a very fast speed, but by the time he arrived, the guests in the mansion had already dispersed.
He grabbed one of the guards guarding the gate of the mansion and asked, "When did the second son of the Guogong Mansion leave?" ”
The guard shook his head trembling with fear from the horror of his face.
There were so many people coming to the banquet, and he didn't order that these guests should not leave, so the guards didn't dare to stop them.
In addition, everyone rushed out of King Ning's mansion, and they naturally didn't care about paying attention, when did the second son leave.
But what made Chu Muwo even more angry was that he put Ruan Tang under the pear tree in the West Garden before he left, and now he is gone.
He hurried back to Canglang Garden, but it was also empty.
He looked for someone to find Chunhan, and when he inquired, he learned that Chunhan had been in the back kitchen all night, and it was he who was looking for her, and she learned that Ruan Tang was missing.
Chunhan cried out at that time, especially when he learned that Ruan Tang was still injured and couldn't see it, so he cried even more fiercely.
Chu Mu was disturbed by her crying, and asked Nanfeng to take her down before reviewing it carefully.
She was seriously wounded, and her attendants and maids were still in the palace, and it was impossible for her to escape on her own.
Then there is only one possibility, someone took her.
But who will take her away from her injury?
In the whole banquet, the person who was the most suspicious was Shen Qianyi.
When he took Ruan Tang's hand and danced tonight, he felt that something was wrong.
He had clearly seen that Ruan Tang was dressed as a woman, but he did not have a covetous relationship between men and women for Ruan Tang, but there was a weirdness that he couldn't understand.
Now that he thinks about it, he must have realized that Ruan Tang is the merchant maid he brought back a few days ago.
And the cold arrow in the dark just now may have been done by him.
Unexpectedly, the second son of Guogongfu, who is usually weak, turned out to be a ruthless character, and he actually played him in applause.
Chu Mu's cold eyes were soaked with murderous aura.
It seems that Shen Qianyi is planning to use Ruan Tang to pinch him.
But he's such an easy person to handle?
If it weren't for the fact that she had blocked the sword for him.
She is a useless pawn, and he can also give it up.
He summoned people and ordered: "Go and visit the Zhenguo Mansion." ”
