Chapter 16 Tonight is full of suspicion

Judging from Chu Beibei's tone, she seems to know a lot about Yu Yin?

The last comment I heard about Yu Yin came from the mouth of the Empress Dowager of Tang Dynasty. Could it be that the Xi Zhao royal family was deeply impressed by her?

"Grandma, Chun Chao is not feeling well. Please ask your servant to accompany you when you go out later." Qiu Ri said softly, interrupting Chu Lingyue's thoughts.

Nodding, she ordered her servants to rearrange the ancestral hall, arrange the household affairs, and immediately set off to the shop to continue her search work.

"Master, there is a good report from the front line. It is said that the commander broke into the enemy camp alone, captured the enemy leader alive, and captured 30,000 elite soldiers. The commander is the direct young master of the Tang family. The news has been spread to the palace. I heard that the Queen Mother is preparing for a reward."

Yulong Division, Liu Hengti reported softly.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Chu Banshi looked at the drawings he had drawn with admiration, then raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, the color in his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Until the moon hung high in the night, there was no movement from the tracking Gu sent by Chu Lingyue. At this point, she had no choice but to take the nursing home to find it in person.

This is when the night market is in full swing. People are coming and going in the streets and alleys. The noisy noise and non-stop crowding greatly affect everyone's judgment and attention.

"I'm afraid it's not a good idea to search aimlessly like this. It's better to find an excuse to ask the government to close the city. Firstly, it will have a time buffer, and secondly, it can also reduce the pressure."

Qiu Ri, who was alone with Chu Lingyue, finished her suggestion when the people around her stopped.

"What is that place over there? Why is it not as lively as the places we just passed by?" Chu Lingyue asked.

Looking around, it was pitch black ahead, with only a few illuminating street lamps illuminating it. It seemed like a different world compared to the bustling area behind me.

"We are now out of the center of the capital." Qiu Ri said, "The emperor believes that social class is very important and does not allow the rich and powerful to collude with the untouchables and poor people, so he ordered the capital to be re-divided, with the palace as the center, and so on.

The former live in the inner circle, so that all resources can be given to the people who deserve them."

After hearing this, Chu Lingyue only felt ridiculous.

The late emperor could have expected that Chu Banshi was good at hiding and handed over the Yulong Division to him. How could he not have expected that the crown prince was so ignorant and incompetent?

Is it possible that the throne was not owned by the current emperor from the beginning?

"Afu is most likely hiding in the outer circle. You go find everyone and come over. It will be much safer if we go together." Chu Lingyue said.

It's dark over there, and judging from the situation described by Qiu Ri, I'm afraid the security won't be much better.

Qiu Ri said: "We don't have time. If Ah Fu is really there, it will be too easy for him to sneak out of the capital! Most of the jars over there are broken, and everything is in a mess..."

Chu Lingyue was still hesitant, but when she saw the tracking Gu coming back from the front, she immediately became furious.

As expected, that bastard Afu is hiding in the outer circle!

Just as she was about to set off, she saw Qiu Ri frozen in place.

"What's wrong?"

"...No, my servant is a little afraid of the dark."

"Then follow me closely."

Under the guidance of the tracking Gu, the master and servant passed through seven or eight alleys. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at a narrow street, the Gu insects scattered like flying sand. In just a moment, Chu Lingyue felt that something was wrong.

Three or four black shadows quickly surrounded him from all around, and then came Qiu Ri's exclamation.

Also, a knife was placed on each of their necks.

The cold and sharp sword light flashed through Chu Lingyue's eyes under the moonlight, allowing her to see clearly the snake-shaped tattoo on the forehead of the person in front of her.

Under the dark night, her face turned cold, "You are really so brave, how dare you touch me?"

The assassin behind him sneered:

"I know you are the famous Princess Jing. We will not do anything to you. As long as you hand over the secret key to Yunzhong Gate, we will let you go immediately. Otherwise, you will have to watch your little maid be turned into a piece of human flesh by us.

It’s done.”

"Do you think it would be better to cut off her ears first, or gouge out her eyes first? I know there is no affection between you master and servant, but you still have to do something to save face. Don't let us say that you are cold-blooded in the future.

It’s better to be ruthless, the beautiful Princess Jing.”

"No, don't! I can't die! Grandma, save me! Ah——"

Qiu Ri was frightened by the threats one after another from several people. Listening to her cries, they laughed even more crazily.

Finally, one of them got impatient and said, "Don't make a toast or drink as a penalty! If people are attracted soon, you will both die! Hand over the secret key quickly!"

Chu Lingyue, who had been silent all this time, finally made a decision after thinking about it.

It is not a good virtue to run away when tracking Gu are in danger, so you have to reinvent the wheel.

"What a coincidence, I carry it with me." She chuckled, raised her right hand, slowly opened her palm towards these people, "Come closer."

Just when these people were excited to do so, a bug with a platinum halo poked out from the palm of Chu Lingyue's hand. Without allowing them to react, the bug instantly sprayed out fine and tough silver threads and held them around their orifices and hearts!

In just one breath, the blood from these people's bodies flowed into the insect's body along the silver thread, making the light on the insect's body even more dazzling!

Before dying, their eyes widened with horror.

"You, you actually coexist with the Gu King! You are not from Chi Li! Who are you..."

"What a stupid and useless thing." Chu Lingyue's face was expressionless, and she looked away after seeing with her own eyes that these people were no longer scum.

Although these people are useless, my obedient Gu King has filled his stomach.

"Are you injured?" she asked Qiu Ri.

Qiu Ri was frightened and trembled for a while before shaking her head, "No, let's go find Ah Fu quickly."

Looking at her rushing in front of him this time, Chu Lingyue felt suspicious again.

The tracking Gu had been scared away at that time. Without their guidance, how could Qiu Ri find Ah Fu?

She seems to have a good understanding of the environment in the outer circle. Before and after entering this area, her behavior was very different from usual. Is it possible that these assassins are related to her?

While doubting, Chu Lingyue realized something else.

These people knew her identity as Princess Jing and had a clear purpose. They not only knew King Gu, but also regarded her as a Chi Li person from the beginning. Only Yu Yin could draw a straight line with all the conditions.

In addition, the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty said that after Yu Yin "died", the Li people took her clothes and made a tomb, so it is very likely to prove that she is a Li person!

"Grandma? So you have received the instructions for tracking Gu?" Everyone who had gathered to rush suddenly appeared.

Chu Lingyue nodded, "The tracking Gu that guided us has dispersed. Since you are here, just go ahead and lead the way."

As soon as she finished speaking, she sniffed the tip of her nose, raised her head and looked in a certain direction, "Where is that place?"

"Chengcang, because there are not many people in the outer circle, so the city warehouse was built in their center, and there is another one in the south, so it is very convenient for both sides."

The nurse's answer made Chu Lingyue silent.

Since it is a city and it is in the outer circle, why is there a faint scent of Luosheng flowers?

Just as he was wondering, a burst of rapid hoofbeats approached, and soon an armed team passed through the middle of the street, "Get out of the way! Yulongsi is on business!"

"There is an assassin in the city! The master has ordered the city to be closed down! From now on, all people in the city are not allowed to leave the city! Anyone who violates the rules will not be killed!"

The loud warning sound made everyone break into a cold sweat.

"What kind of case should Yu Longsi personally take over..."

"The man inside is a master who would rather kill ten thousand people than let one go. Grandma, why don't we go back first? If we hit the edge of the knife, we will be in trouble."

Chu Lingyue, who knew who the master of the Yulong Division was, naturally ignored the advice of the guardian, "Just in time, the people of the Yulong Division sealed the city. Ah Fu can't escape no matter what, so take this good opportunity to catch him."

That’s the key.”

"yes."

Sure enough, when the city was closed, Ah Fu, who was preparing to escape at the city gate, was forced to flee to the center of the outer circle. Under the guidance of the tracking Gu, everyone quickly found him.

Seeing Chu Lingyue leading the team in person, Ah Fu's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Grandma! Please spare the little one! Suddenly a letter came from home saying that my mother was seriously ill and difficult to treat, and the little one just wanted to go home to visit relatives...

I forgot the rules in a moment of impatience, please be lenient!"

As he spoke, Afu burst into tears and kowtowed again and again, appearing very sincere.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Ri, who was so frightened, suddenly came back to his senses. He rushed out and cursed:

"Your mother passed away years ago. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, you took leave to return to your hometown. You didn't come back until June 15th. Sometimes you said you encountered robbers on the road and were robbed of your money and couldn't come back in time. At other times, you said you were lost.

It's a waste of time. If I hadn't wanted you to be honest, I wouldn't have introduced you to a new job! You just said that again, is it possible that you are a mother everywhere?"

Ah Fu wanted to die as soon as he said these words.

Chu Lingyue almost always takes Chun Chao with her when she goes out to do errands. Who knew she took Qiuri with her today?

"Huh." Chu Lingyue was provoked by the conversation between the two and snorted, "You are really a mother everywhere?"

Ah Fu knew that she was cruel and ruthless, so he didn't dare to lie this time, and quickly replied: "As for grandma... I don't want to be your dead body anymore... That bug makes me feel sick just thinking about it, but...

But when I was bought, I didn’t know that I was going to do this kind of work! Please let me go! I will definitely not reveal anything about you!"

Hearing this, the corners of Chu Lingyue's lips raised slightly.

"You have your freedom to pursue, and I have my mission to fulfill. But you can't even show the most basic honesty, so why should you beg me to give you a way to survive?"

Everyone was shocked after hearing this, and Ah Fu felt suffocated, but soon he couldn't feel anything anymore.

Because Chu Lingyue released countless blood poison, he was completely eaten in the blink of an eye.

"Grandma, forgive me. When you asked someone to buy us, it was your servant who provided the guarantee... But I didn't expect him to be so worthless..." Qiu Ri held his breath and said in concentration.

Looking at the dark color in her eyes, Chu Lingyue only replied: "It is not human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Grandma is right."

"Autumn day."

"exist."

"Good name."

The master's inexplicable words made Qiu Ri even more panicked. Before she could thank her, Chu Lingyue glanced sideways and said, "You can definitely give him a way to survive for me."
