15, Assassin Trace
Yun Luan was injured and it was very difficult to walk all the way into the mountain. Fortunately, Gongsun Ao and his group were all agile and familiar with the terrain of Shanglinyuan. Along the way, they followed the traces left by many people.
Gongsun Ao admired Yun Luan, a weak woman, who was willing to go into the mountain to find Wei Qing himself. He didn't know that Wei Qing was purely suffering from this unintentional disaster for Yun Luan this time.
"Yun Shangyi, Wei Qing is very skilled, it will be difficult for him to hunt. Yun Shangyi doesn't have to worry too much." In the night, Gongsun Ao and Yun Luan sat by the bonfire in the forest, looking at her pale face, Gongsun Ao couldn't help comforting him.
Yun Luan smiled at him and said, "Mr. Gongsun said, it's just that I haven't seen any world before, so it's inevitable that I'll make you laugh." Gongsun Ao shook his head. Although he was a reckless man, he also knew that this female official Yun was originally a person who could use it around the Empress Dowager and was sent to serve the emperor. Naturally, she wouldn't be someone who had never seen the world before.
However, he was a martial artist and did not pay attention to these struggles in the inner court. However, seeing that Yun Luan was willing to come to find Wei Qing in person regardless of his injuries, he felt that this female official Yun was very loyal and had a very good view of her.
"It is not easy to find a few wolves in Shanglinyuan. Wei Qing was afraid that he had gone to the deep mountains, so he came back too late." It would be strange if the emperor could see the wolves at random where he stayed.
Yun Luan nodded and said, "Mr. Gongsun said yes."
Gongsun Ao and Yun Luan were not familiar with each other and had nothing to talk about, but they talked about Wei Qing with some interest.
Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing met when Wei Qing first entered Shanglinyuan. Most of the Wei Qing knew about Wei Qing's identity, Xiaowei in Shanglinyuan, so naturally he could not be as good as the young man who came in with nepotism. Moreover, the beauty Wei fell out of favor shortly after entering the palace, and Wei Qing's life was very difficult at the beginning.
However, Wei Qing was able to be stuffed into Shanglinyuan by the emperor instead of just making an official position and scattering his life. Naturally, there were places where he could be valued. In just over a month, Wei Qing took off a few of the most powerful guards alone, and then beat a lot of people in the monthly riding and shooting competition.
Although these noble guards looked down on Wei Qing's background, they had to accept his abilities. After all, everyone is a person who wants to be respectful, and men's abilities should be shown on the school ground. Gradually, no one deliberately came to cause trouble for Wei Qing again.
"Yun Shangyi didn't see it. Wei Qing made a big splash on the school field, but scared the jaws of those guys who were above the top." Speaking of this, Gongsun Ao couldn't help but laugh.
Yun Luan sat by the fire with her chin in her arms and smiled, "Master Wei is gentle and elegant. At first glance, she thought she was a Confucian scholar. However, when His Majesty was assassinated that day, he saw Master Wei's skills. It was really amazing."
Gongsun Ao smiled and said, "No, that kid looks so slanderous and bullied. He is actually amazing." There was no dissatisfaction or jealousy in his words that the emperor valued Wei Qing, but he was full of complacent. Yun Luan knew that this man was really a generous and loyal person, otherwise he would not have dared to go against Master Dou as a mere chaplain.
"I heard that Lord Gongsun saved Lord Wei earlier, and Yun Luan admired the righteousness of Lord Gongsun." Yun Luan said softly.
Gongsun Ao laughed and said, "I dare not take it."
While the two were talking, a guard came hurriedly not far away, "Sir."
Gongsun Ao quickly stood up and asked, "But what's wrong with it?"
The guard looked at Yun Luan and said, "Some traces were found in front of him, as if they were traces of fighting." The wilderness and forests were in the area of Shanglinyuan, so how could there be traces of fighting?
"Is it a wild beast?" Gongsun Ao asked.
Xiaowei looked a little solemn, shook his head and said, "Human, some human blood was found around him. It should have been left around the evening, less than two or three hours." Gongsun Ao lowered his head and frowned, but Yun Luan's heart moved slightly and whispered, "Mr. Gongsun...the assassin a few days ago..."
Gongsun Ao's eyes were fixed and he said in a deep voice: "Send someone to report, Yun Shangyi, you should go back first, let's follow and take a look." Yun Luan shook his head and said: "We don't bring a few people in the same group. Just send one person to report, so don't disperse it anymore." Yun Luan must not be able to go back alone, and following the news, he will inevitably delay the speed.
"Don't worry, Lord Gongsun, I know it. If I encounter danger, I will definitely hide and not drag down my parents." Yun Luan said.
Gongsun Ao was also really worried. He heard Yun Luan say so and no longer wanted to turn around and ask someone to prepare to set off.
The group followed the traces along the way, and they found the traces until it was about to dawn. Both Yunluan and Gongsun Ao couldn't help but take a breath. These people were so brave that they built a camp in the mountains. Looking from a distance, they could see at least twenty or thirty people walking around in the depression.
However, there was still no trace of Wei Qing.
"Sir, we are afraid we are not opponents if there are too many people." Looking at Gongsun Ao who was eager to try, Yun Luan whispered.
Gongsun Ao seemed to have been poured with cold water by someone, but he suddenly woke up a lot. He nodded and said, "Yun Shangyi said, let's wait here. We have marked along the way, and there must be..."
Before he finished speaking, a scream came from a distance. Gongsun Ao couldn't help but curse and said damn, "They were discovered, Yun Shangyi, go quickly!"
Yun Luan also knew that she was a drag, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Gongsun, be careful yourself. Remember... don't fight head-on!" Gongsun Ao didn't have any time to listen to her longing. He nodded randomly, stuffed Yun Luan a short dagger and got up and ran towards him.
Yun Luan held the dagger in her hand and sighed helplessly. She was just a female official, why did she encounter these unlucky things? She didn't dare to think too much at the moment, put away the dagger and stood up and ran towards the forest.
Yunluan was running through the mountains and forests quickly. She felt very good in the direction, so she was not worried about getting lost in the mountains and forests. But the wound on her shoulders ached a little, and the forest was silent, as if only her footsteps and gasps were heard.
Suddenly, Yunluan stopped.
A figure stood not far away from her. It was a middle-aged man wearing a black cloth. He looked no different from the person they saw in the mountain depressed before.
Yun Luan calmed down, glanced at the surrounding mountains and forests, and then looked at the sword in the hand of the man in black in front of him, giving up the idea of turning around and running away.
