Chapter 76: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"No, it won't, is it that serious?"
After being silent for a long time, Gongsun Xiu couldn't help but break this chilling silence.
"Hehe~ From the combination of imitating his father's pen style and the content of the note, it is not difficult to see the purpose of this person. Gongsun Chen said indifferently: "His goal is not so much the Lord, but actually the reality that our Gongsun family is coming." ”
"Coming to my Gongsun family?" Gongsun Xiong was even more puzzled: "You seem to have said this once just now, but now I still can't seem to understand it." What kind of mystery is hidden in this, and how do you guess the mystery of the murderer's doing?"
"I said earlier that I would analyze it from the combination of imitating my father's pen style and the content of the note. ”
"It's true that he imitated his father's pen, but as for the content of the note, ......"
Gongsun Yang looked at the words on the note again with doubts, and at the same time couldn't help but have some epiphany.
"Tomorrow at midnight, I will follow the example of the old days and take the life of the Lord again. That's right! In the past, the murderer on this note used the word "past". At the same time, Gongsun Yang had an epiphany and couldn't help but be terrified: "Judging from his strange body style and the shot of the flying knife, will it be the same person who assassinated the ancestor Huan Hao?"
"What, what ?!?"
Gongsun Xiong was shocked at the same time, but he also focused his attention on the content of the note again. At this time, he also noticed the hidden meaning revealed in the text, and couldn't help but be terrified.
"Here's the real point. Gongsun Chen couldn't help but calm his attitude at this time: "Just like the third sister said, now according to the characteristics of the murderer's note, flying knives and strange body style, we really can't rule out that the former ancestor was killed by him." But whether it was his act or not, if we give this note to the Lord this time, then our Gongsun family will definitely invite unfortunate disasters. The contents of the note, coupled with the style of our father's pen, make us suspicious even if the Lord is wise. ”
"I see. Gongsun Xiu nodded: "The other party's intentions are really vicious." As the eldest brother said, the reason why he informed us in advance this time seems to be that he expected that we would give this note to the Lord. He imitated his father's notes and left doubts about the contents, and at the same time caused the Lord to make a gap with my grandson and wanted to get rid of us in one fell swoop. This guy is really ......."
"Then who could this person be?" Gongsun Xiong was even more confused at this time: "Is it the important minister in the meeting, or is it done by someone outside?" And the person who acted this time and the murderer who assassinated the ancestor before, does he think it will be the same person?"
"It's hard to say!" Gongsun Chen frowned again: "This person is unpredictable, and his strategy is even more unpredictable. Today's ploy can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and saying that it is two birds is also a metaphor, as for whether there are actually more birds, it is really unknown. ”
"Since we don't know, then we don't have to guess at all!" Gongsun Yang couldn't help but be a little anxious when he listened to his eldest brother's analysis: "Since the murderer has so many purposes, can we ignore him? Since he really came to us, then we should not have received this note at all? As long as we don't move, what can he do to us?"
"Well, don't say it. The third sister's method is good, although it is simple but it works. ”
"It works?" Gongsun Xiong was a little angry: "What will it do? I will issue a warning now, what if the assassination is true? We ignore the Lord for the sake of our own family, and once the Lord fails, I will have no successor." ”
That's exactly what my father said. Gongsun Chen nodded: "That's why I'm hesitant." If the other party is false, it is naturally good, but if all this is true, then don't we, who are courtiers, watch the Lord suffer? If he was the same person as the last assassin, then even if he was on guard, he might not be able to resist him. What's more, if you don't take the slightest precaution, isn't it a direct offering of the life of the Lord?"
"Then, what if you can't take it, but what if you can't do that?"
Gongsun Yang was really in a hurry at this time. Her fiery temper completely follows Gongsun Xiong's character, but at this time, Gong Sun Xiong can't help but calm down.
"The enemy is so perfectly designed, can you have a plan to deal with it just in case?"
Gongsun Chen was silent, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but let out a sigh and spoke again.
"There is one of them, but our Gongsun family has to work harder. ”
"Oh?" Gongsun Xiong was stunned and asked, "How do you say this?"
"It's simple. Since we are afraid of suspicion if we tell us openly, we can only secretly supervise the Lord's every move in order to ensure the safety of the Lord, and just in case. ”
"This ......" Gongsun Xiu hesitated a little when he heard this: "As a courtier, I'm afraid it's not good to supervise the lord?"
"What's the problem? I think it's a good idea, it's a foolproof solution. Gongsun Xiong nodded, and agreed with Gongsun Chen's plan at this time: "After all, it is an extraordinary moment, and special circumstances always require special treatment." But I don't know which of you would like to take on the task of secretly protecting and overseing the Lord. ”
"I'll do it!" Gongsun Yang volunteered: "The two elder brothers and my father have important positions in the meeting, and now I am the only one in the Gongsun family who lives at home because of my age. Anyway, it's fine, and my martial arts are good, but I just heard that the person who assassinated the ancestor was good at martial arts. Today, since someone has left a book under my nose and escaped, whether he is the murderer of the ancestor or not, in terms of his martial arts, I would like to meet him for a while. ”
"Well...... this"
Gongsun Xiong frowned slightly, and he didn't feel a little hesitant. Gongsun Yang saw the look of embarrassment on his father's face, and immediately showed displeasure in his eyes.
"Didn't my father believe me?"
"Well, I don't doubt your martial arts. Gongsun Xiong's brows were still deeply locked: "But now you are young after all, and your personality is too strong." I'm afraid that you didn't do anything properly and the thief didn't find it, and it disturbed the Lord, and you are still a girl after all, after all, you are young, and now you are going to be honest, and you are really a little worried about becoming a father. ”
"What's wrong with this, I ......"
"Third sister, don't be noisy. ”
Gongsun Chen interrupted Gongsun Duck's words, and then bowed his fist to Gongsun Xiong again.
"Oh, are you going to volunteer?"
Gongsun Xiong said this, and the worry and hesitation that had just appeared on his face couldn't help but be swept away.
"Well, you do things calmly. Gongsun Xiong looked at Gongsun Chen, nodded again and again, and couldn't help but smile: "Although your martial arts still need to be honed and are not as good as Yang'er, because you are mature and steady, I think it is very reassuring for the Lord to hand over your secret protection as a father." ”
"Father was wrong. Gongsun Chen said solemnly: "The son surrendered his hand to ask for his life not because he volunteered, but because he felt that the person who secretly protected the Lord must be cautious. Although he is not talented now, he is worthy of this important task when he is a person who is a protector. Except for this person, I think there is no one more suitable than him. ”
"Oh, who?"
Gongsun Xiong's brows frowned slightly, and at the same time, his eyes were full of doubts and looked at Gongsun Chen intently.
