Chapter 169 The First Assassination(1/2)

As the emperor's oral order arrived at the host's mansion, Yan Yu dragged his sick body and knelt on the ground with a pale face. He coughed suddenly a few times in the horrified gaze of the eunuch.

Then, a trace of blood on the snow-white veil was revealed.

The servant beside Yan Yu's eyes were red, and he swallowed even more: "Your Highness, let's go in quickly!"

Yan Yu nodded, coughed a few more times, and a little scarlet red overflowed from the handkerchief covering his mouth.

Seeing this, the eunuch ordered the eunuch to take a few steps back and quickly reported the matter to the Tai Chi Hall.

Yan Yu, who was dying of illness just now, sat upright the moment he returned to the bedroom, and coldly threw the handkerchief into the charcoal fire.

The smell of burnt smell spread in the room, and Yan Yu opened the window with a cold expression: "This emperor's suspicion is indeed serious. If his father is half suspicious, I am afraid that I will die in the underworld."

Upon hearing this, the servant knelt heavily on the ground and said carefully: "Your Highness is resourceful and will surely lead us to unify our great cause!"

"If it weren't for that cold jade, then my body would not be able to survive thirty." Yan Yu's eyes were cold, and he was crazy with all his paranoia and craziness, "Are you ready?"

"The substitute is ready, right in the secret room." The servant said softly, "But the suspicion of the Emperor of Chu has not subsided. Do you want to wait for a while..."

"Can't wait any longer." Yan Yu lowered his eyes and slowly turned the jade ring on his finger, "When the snow covers the mountain, we can't get in."

After the words were finished, Yan Yu had already stood up and walked straight to the study.

The huge hostage was silent, and several servants who served did not dare to inquire in the inner courtyard.

"It is said that protons have tuberculosis! If we continue to serve them, will we also get tuberculosis?"

"That proton was born tall, but I didn't expect it to be a sick person!"

"This kind of disease is really terrible. I don't dare to stay here anymore. I don't know when he will be able to go back."

These sounds sounded from time to time in the outer courtyard, and the news that Yan Yu was seriously ill and was lingering in sickness also spread.

Many noble girls were heartbroken in half and ordered their maids to inquire at the host's house, but the news they received was exactly the same.

As the autumn wind became colder, the front of the Proton Mansion became completely deserted, and no one was exploring the news here.

At the same time, an ordinary carriage drove out of the capital with the traffic and headed straight for Yuezhou.

Once you enter Yuezhou, it seems like you have changed a season.

Gu Ning shrank under his furry scarf, and his breath turned into frost: "It's just now that autumn has just begun, why is it so cold?"

When Chu Shiling was young, she stayed in Yuezhou for a while, and she looked uneasy: "Yes, I remember when I was a child, it was not so cold."

There are many merchants living here in the inn.

Gu Ning's team came over, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

In order to avoid disturbing passing merchants, Gu Ning only left a dozen personal guards with him, while the other personal guards were stationed on a flat bottom not far outside the inn.

Gu Ning held a cup of hot tea and looked out the window in a restless mood.

Seeing her appearance, Chu Shiling felt sore and said angrily: "Fortunately, no one saw your look of a husband-looking man! Otherwise, I wouldn't know if there was any rumors!"

Chu Shiling only knows how to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays, but she has many friends and knows what kind of song Gu Ning is in the capital.

If others saw Gu Ning worrying about Xie Yan like this, they would definitely be shocked.

However, after the past few days, after seeing Xie Yan's meticulous care for Gu Ning, Chu Shiling was very jealous of Gu Ning.

"Where did you find someone? You can take the heads of the enemy generals from a thousand martial arts. You can take care of your diet and daily life with a softer heart than the personal maid around you."

Chu Shiling looked at Gu Ning jealously, with a pair of drooping dog eyes wafting, full of curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ning snorted a few times.

Just Chu Shiling's mind was a little stubborn, thinking that she was worried about Xie Yan, and she was clearly worried about her own safety.

This is the last inn where they live. From this inn and all the way to Yuezhou Prefecture City, there will be no more inn to live in.

And this is also the last opportunity for Chu Yunyi and the others to take action on the road!

Gu Ning was restless tonight, and with Xie Yan not around, she felt uneasy from the bottom of her heart and her heart hung high.

Chunyu walked over at this time and approached Gu Ning: "Mr. County Master, please feel at ease. The three thousand troops are ten feet away. With just one order, they can come immediately."

Gu Ning nodded and looked around. In her eyes, the merchants all looked like assassins.

"Where is Xie Yan?" Gu Ning asked in a low voice, "Can anyone come with him to protect him?"

"Brother Yue Ming and Yue Rong are both here." Chunyu comforted, "They work together, but they can compete with hundreds of people, not to mention that Lord Xie is very skilled in martial arts, and ordinary assassins are not afraid of anything."

Having said that, Gu Ning still couldn't rest assured.

She picked up her cloak and walked out.

Seeing this, Chu Shiling hurriedly followed.

"What are you doing?" Gu Ning said angrily, "I'm going to do a serious business!"

Chu Shiling rubbed her cold hands, and the white breath she exhaled covered her guilty little eyes: "I just want to follow you!"

Although I don’t know why Gu Ning is so nervous, the habit she has developed over the years tells her that at this time, it is safest to follow Gu Ning.

After leaving the station, the wind was cold and Gu Ning raised his foot and walked towards the place where his guards were stationed.

Just as she raised her feet, Gu Ning felt a chill behind her back, and she subconsciously moved to the left.

The next moment, a sharp sword glowing blue light pierced the master at the door.

Chunyu immediately pulled out the two knives around her waist and whispered: "There is an assassin! Protect the county lord!"

The maid next to Chu Shiling was also good at martial arts. She also drew a sword and looked around vigilantly.

In the inn, the merchants who were talking a lot saw this scene, were so scared that they urinated and quickly crawled down the table, and some people followed Gu Ning and the others.

These merchants were afraid of death. Seeing that there were people around Gu Ning, they ran to Gu Ning.

They rushed forward and could not recognize who was the assassin and who was the real merchant.

Chunyu leaned tightly against Gu Ning, and her hostile eyes swept across everyone in front of her. She held two knives and pointed them at the merchants who were coming: "You take another step forward, don't blame my knife for not being long."

Eye!"

"We just want a way out! You have led the killer over, don't you still want us to be scapegoats?"

"That's it! We are all innocent people passing by, and this is the trouble you have caused! Since it is caused by you, you should protect us!"

They said one by one, no matter how ugly Chunyu's face looked, she never refused to leave.

Gu Ning only brought more than a dozen personal guards around him, and there were more than twenty of these merchants. In such a noisy environment, they could not distinguish their true identities.

There was a mess in front of me, and the noisy sounds never stopped.

Gu Ning's voice slowly rose, and the crisp sound was particularly obvious in the noisy environment.

"Since everyone says that the killer is coming for us, why do you still have to follow us? Are you not afraid that the killer will make a mistake in a moment, and will you kill you too?"

"You all saw it. The arrow shot by the killer just now was glowing with blue light! It was poisonous! You stayed by my side, are you trying to block the arrows for me?"

Gu Ning chuckled a few times, and these words made the merchants who wanted to seek her protection retreat and ran around one after another.

But among these merchants, a few of them seemed to not understand and were still close to Gu Ning.

Isn’t this going to show off!

A sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Ning's lips and gave a wink at Chunyu.

Down

At one moment, a long sword appeared on the chest of a merchant who had just pulled out the dagger from his sleeve. Behind him was Chunyu with a cold expression.

Chunyu quickly pulled out the knife, and even looked at the merchant without even dying, then rushed towards the remaining assassin.

But just when the situation was getting better, Gu Ning heard a scream in his ear, but saw Chu Shiling hurt her shoulder by an assassin.

Chu Shiling knelt on the ground and started crying because of fear.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin saw a trace of hostility in his eyes, and he held a knife like anger and was about to chop Chu Shiling away. Chu Shiling's maid was entangled by two assassins and could not get out.

Seeing that Chu Shiling was about to die under the assassin's knife, Gu Ning gritted his teeth and pulled out the jade hairpin. His faint spiritual energy was used in his palm and quickly threw the jade hairpin at the assassin.

Gu Ningjiao was weak and weak when throwing the jade hairpin. The assassin did not take the jade hairpin into his eyes and waved it casually.

The next moment, the assassin screamed and covered his bloody hands.

This hosta penetrated his hand!

When Chu Shiling saw this scene, she was so scared that she couldn't say anything: "You...I..."

"Come here now!" Gu Ning stamped his feet in a hurry, "How long will you stand there?"

Chu Shiling woke up from a dream and ran towards Gu Ning as fast as she could in her life.

The assassin, who originally wanted to intercept Chu Shiling as a hostage, had a blood hole in his palm and was immediately subdued by Chunyu who came to attack.

The deaths and injuries of the assassin will never become a climate.

Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and the tight string finally relaxed.

"They actually want to assassinate you!" Chu Shiling came back from her panic, looking disbelief, "What's there to be worth assassinating?"

Gu Ning suddenly sneered: "My value is great!"
