Binh Duong.

This night is destined to be unpeaceful.

In the middle of the night, it was a time when people were as quiet as water, but the thunderous sound of horses' hooves on the Northwest Light Rider broke the silence.

After the Northwest Army entered the city, it was still divided into five parts, each group of 500 people, to search for the remaining assassins in the east, west, south and north cities, and the remaining 500 people were led by Zhuang Jiade to the east, west, north and south respectively, and organized the local army of Pingyang Province to block the city gate.

Inside the hotel, Yan Tianrui was supported by the soldiers and walked to Chu Yujia, who was watching the soldiers clean up the battlefield.

Without waiting for Yan Tianrui to speak, Chu Yujia waved his hand and said, "They are all brothers, don't say so much." ”

Yan Tianrui's pale face was full of guilt, this incident happened when he was on shift, so he naturally took the mistake on himself.

"I'm sorry General, it's my dereliction of duty, if I had caught the Assassin earlier, we wouldn't have killed or injured so many brothers. ”

The corners of Chu Yujia's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the corpses that were carried out and said, "I don't blame you, I blame me." ”

After this incident, it turned out that he was still too young, although he was able to think of many things, and even noticed the traces of the Assassins when he climbed to the roof, which led to the incident of pretending to be ordinary soldiers and leading those Assassins into the encirclement.

There was nothing wrong with this, but he was wrong because he didn't expect that there were more than a group of assassins, and there were more than just a few people.

As the commander-in-chief, he rashly left the command position he was supposed to stay in and ran out without permission, which was irresponsible to all the officers and men.

If he was there, even if Yan Tianrui hadn't discovered the assassins earlier, as long as those assassins dared to come, he would have ten thousand ways to make these assassins come and go.

If that's the case, how can you pay the price of the lives of these nearly 100 Northwest Army brothers?

Although Chu Yujia was calm on the surface, he was really uncomfortable in his heart.

Not long after, Meng Feihang also walked in from the outside accompanied by several soldiers, and when he saw the corpse covered with a white cloth outside, his face was not very good-looking.

Meng Feihang walked up to Chu Yujia, who was sitting on the stairs of the pavilion, and asked, "What's the situation?"

"Can't you see it yet?"

Chu Yujia's gaze was slightly dull, and he looked straight at the gate of the pavilion.

Hearing this, Meng Feihang sighed, and also sat beside Chu Yujia, supporting his chin with both hands, and followed his gaze at the door of the hotel.

The two of them sat like that, and they didn't know how long it took before Meng Feihang asked as if he said casually: "Then what do you think these people are from?"

"These people are not of low grade, obviously organized and planned, prepared, first used some people as the vanguard, the purpose is to distract my attention and delay my time, and then sneak into the inn to assassinate without knowing it, the whole process of action has not shown any movement in advance, and even on the busiest streets, it is obviously impossible to say that they are improvised. ”

"No one can arrange the plan so seamlessly in a short period of time. ”

Chu Yujia pursed his lips and said, "As for where they came from and who sent them, they are still under trial." ”

Meng Feihang held his chin and said, "It seems that you are not very stupid." ”

Chu Yujia rolled his eyes and said, "You're stupid." ”

At this time, Xiao Rou walked over, stood not far behind Chu Yujia, bent down and saluted, "General Chu, the eldest princess, please come over." ”

Xiao Rou also had a color on her body because of the battle just now, and her cheeks were stained with blood stains that she hadn't had time to wipe clean.

"Okay, I'll be right over. ”

Xiao Rou nodded, then turned to leave.

After she left, Chu Yujia stood up, and just as he was about to leave, Meng Feihang stopped him and asked, "Where are those living assassins now?"

"Where is Xu Gouda. ”

Chu Yujia frowned and asked, "Are you going to go over and interrogate it yourself?"

"Of course. ”

Meng Feihang hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "The princess of the Later Song Dynasty was assassinated, and several people died in the Later Song Mission, this matter can't just be left alone, and in the end, someone must come out to confess, otherwise, the impact on you will be too great." ”

"I understand. ”

Chu Yujia nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Yujia walked towards the room where Yuan Wanyu, the eldest princess of the Later Song Dynasty, lived.

There had just been a handover in the room, and although some tables, chairs and benches were broken, it was harmless, and it was good to replace them with new ones.

It's just that the smell of blood in the corridor has been washed with clean water many times, and it still doesn't mean to fade away.

When he came, Xiao Rou was standing outside the door.

The two stood together, Xiao Rou bit her lip tightly, and still whispered: "Today, thanks to you." ”

"It's a matter of duty. ”

Chu Yujia pursed his lips slightly to show that he was smiling.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything more to himself, Xiao Rou didn't intend to touch that brow, pushed open the door, and walked in with Chu Yujia.

At this time, Yuan Wanyu had already changed her blood-stained clothes, and even the white veil on her face had changed, except that the panicked look had not faded, as if nothing had happened just now.

Seeing Chu Yujia walking in covered in armor, Yuan Wanyu couldn't help but think of the scene where he had just jumped onto the roof with himself in his arms.

Although in the entire Mingwu Empire, the status of women is not lower than that of men, and there are women who inherit family property and even inherit the throne.

But after all, there is a difference between men and women, and men and women are not kissed.

What's more, she is a dignified princess of the Later Song Dynasty, who dares to have such close contact with her since she was a child, even if it is those sons of the Later Song Dynasty, her brother has never done this.

At this time, when she saw this man who had hugged her, how could she not blush and her heart beat.

It wasn't until Xiao Rou cleared her throat that she reacted, realized that she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and then looked up at Chu Yujia and asked, "General Chu, are all the assassins gone?"

"It was the dereliction of duty of the last general that frightened the eldest princess. ”

Chu Yujia bent down and arched his hand: "Now, all the assassins who have shown up have been ambushed, and the last general has blocked Pingyang Mansion, even if the assassins still have their comrades, they can't escape." ”

To tell the truth, Chu Yujia still feels a little sorry when he sees Yuan Wanyu now.

At the beginning, Chu Yujia didn't feel any difficulties in welcoming the Hou Song Mission this time, maybe he was still vigilant in his heart, but after more than ten days of calm, the vigilance in his heart had also disappeared, especially after entering Pingyang Mansion, so many people were present without accidents, but it was only after staying in the hotel that the accident happened, and it was so close to the capital.

"That's good. ”

To tell the truth, Yuan Wanyu didn't care about those assassins at all, and she didn't even anger Ye Guo because of this incident.

Raising his hand and holding his chin, he looked like a little woman: "It's just that I don't understand who wants to put me to death......"

"With all due respect. ”

"In this world, there are many people who don't want to see Ye Guo and the Later Song Dynasty united. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Wanyu raised her eyebrows, looked at Chu Yujia, and said, "What does General Chu mean is that these people are from other vassal states?"

"As far as I can tell, so. ”

"Okay. ”

Yuan Wanyu raised her eyes and looked at her side, where there had always been a little maid before, but now, that maid was gone.

She pursed her lips and asked, "Are the assassins still coming?"

"Even if you come, you won't see it. ”

Chu Yujia took a deep breath and said, "There won't be any accidents tonight, please rest assured that the eldest princess will rest assured, if there are no orders, the last general will go down first." ”

"This ......"

Obviously, Yuan Wanyu asked Chu Yujia to come, not to talk to him about these things, but because he was here, she could feel an unprecedented sense of security, even in the palace of the Later Song Dynasty, she had never felt this way.

That feeling made her feel very comfortable, and when she heard that Chu Yujia was leaving, she instinctively wanted to keep him, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Is there anything else going on with the eldest princess?"

In fact, there was nothing for him to do outside, and his going out was only an uplifting effect.

"I ......"

"I'm just a little scared ......"

Looking at Yuan Wanyu's appearance, Chu Yujia couldn't help but feel a little funny, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved.

Yuan Wanyu is certainly the eldest princess of the Later Song Dynasty, but she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she can still show her royal demeanor in front of the assassin just now, and she can still show her royal demeanor between life and death, which will be cowardly.

Chu Yujia smiled slightly and said, "Don't be afraid, princess, I have already mobilized troops to garrison around the pavilion, and the assassins will definitely not come again." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Wanyu was still the same, and said pitifully: "But...... I'm just worried......"

Hearing this, Chu Yujia is not a fool, Yuan Wanyu has said this, how can he not understand what the other party means?

Chu Yujia arched his hand and said: "If this is the case, then the general will stay outside the princess's door tonight, if there is danger, the general will definitely be able to rush in as soon as possible to protect the princess." ”

Knowing that the little Jiujiu in his heart was noticed by Chu Yujia, Yuan Wanyu was also a little embarrassed.

After all, it is not reasonable to let the general of a country show him the door, and thinking of this, her face is also a little red.

"In that case, the general went out first. ”

Chu Yujia arched his hand again: "Wait for the last general to explain the matter, and then come back." ”

"Okay, then thank you General Chu. ”

"The princess is serious, this is the duty of the last general. ”

After getting Yuan Wanyu's approval, Chu Yujia withdrew from the room, and did not stay after arriving downstairs, riding a fast horse and going straight to the military camp outside the city.

The assassination of the princess is nothing more than two purposes, one is to destroy the friendly relationship between Ye and the Later Song Dynasty, which is one of them.

Second, it is also the most unlikely, but it is also the most probable, that is, the purpose of the assassin's assassination of the eldest princess of Song is actually aimed at him.

After all, he is the commander in charge of escorting the mission this time, and if something happens to the Later Song Mission, then he will not be able to escape the blame, not to mention being beheaded to show the public, but in order to give the Later Song Dynasty an explanation, his official position must not be kept.
