The guests who still didn't have time to leave were all cordoned off.
The private room where Zhou Chen and the others were located was even surrounded by people, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
When Qin Banruo came to Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Yu had already rested, but when he heard Qin Banruo said that there were urgent matters, he still got up to see Qin Banruo.
"What? You said Mu Qing and Yan Yujin were assassinated in your Red Sleeve Corps?"
After hearing what Qin Banruo said, King Yu was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Qin Banruo was his counselor, and the red sleeve move was Qin Banruo's power. Now that he encountered such a thing, of course he was nervous.
Qin Banruo said: "Mu Qing and Yan Yujin are okay, they were only slightly injured, but there was another person traveling with them who was seriously injured. I asked someone to treat him, but he didn't agree and drove us away.
I left, so I came to see you, Your Highness."
King Yu felt something was wrong and asked: "Then do you know who is with them?"
"I don't know him, but I heard Young Prince Mu call him Brother Yu, and Young Master Yan call him Brother Yu. His status must be extraordinary."
King Yu's whole body was shocked, and his face showed nervousness: "I know who he is, he is Gong Ziyu. Now we are in trouble. Today, my father asked him to go to the palace for a banquet tomorrow to help deal with Bai Qi, but in the evening
He was assassinated. This is definitely a conspiracy. Could it be the work of the prince?"
Qin Banruo asked: "Your Highness, how do you know that the assassin's target is that Gong Ziyu and not Mr. Mu and Mr. Yan?"
"You do not understand."
King Yu walked back and forth anxiously, and then told Qin Banruo what happened in the palace today.
He didn't care about Zhou Chen's life or death, he was more concerned about whether such a thing would have an impact on him or be beneficial to him.
Qin Banruo analyzed: "If it was the prince who did it, what good would it do to him? And according to your highness, this Young Master Yu is very powerful, so the assassin who assassinated him must also be a top master, otherwise it would not be possible to seriously injure the Young Master.
Yu, hurt Mr. Yan and Mr. Mu. Do the princes have such powerful masters?"
King Yu frowned: "What you said makes sense, but if it's not the prince, who would it be? Is the assassin's target Gong Ziyu?"
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out the reason. This matter was too complicated and confusing.
Xie Mansion, Snow Cottage!
A black shadow smoothly sneaked into the door of Mei Changsu's room without alerting any of the Xie Mansion's guards, and knocked gently on the door.
"Fei Liu!"
As soon as the door opened, Fei Liu was not surprised to see the masked man, so he let him in. After entering, the man in black pulled down his mask, and it turned out to be Meng Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army.
"Brother Meng, you are back, is everything going well?"
Mei Changsu had been waiting for a long time and asked immediately when he saw Meng Zhi coming back.
Meng Zhi nodded and said: "It went well, the injury to Gong Ziyu is not fatal, but what exactly is going on?"
In fact, he was also confused, because tonight, Fei Liu asked him to meet Mei Changsu, and then Mei Changsu gave him a very inexplicable task, asking him to assassinate Gong Ziyu.
He was confused at the time, but Mei Changsu didn't explain anything to him. He just told him to remember that he could only injure, but not really kill Gong Ziyu, because Gong Ziyu was also one of theirs.
In the end, full of doubts, he went to Hong Xiu Zhao to assassinate Zhou Chen. Things went very smoothly because Gong Ziyu was very cooperative and seemed to have known the plan for a long time.
Mei Changsu breathed a sigh of relief. He still believed in Meng Zhi, and Zhou Chen was very strong. As long as the injury was not serious, he could recover quickly.
This plan was actually not proposed by him, but by Zhou Chen himself. He strongly opposed it at the time, but Zhou Chen said that if they didn't do this, it would be difficult to implement their next plan.
He knew that Zhou Chen was not just thinking about their plan, but also didn't want to hurt him because of Princess Nihuang's incident, and at the same time, he wanted to help him save the court life, so he proposed this very risky plan.
Zhou Chen's attitude was resolved, but he couldn't persuade him at all, so in the end he had no choice but to agree, because Zhou Chen's plan was actually very good.
By doing this, not only can they avoid mistakes in the next plan, but they can also take advantage of this opportunity to use official power to attack Hong Xiuzhao and Qin Banruo's Hua clan spies, which is very beneficial to their plans.
"Actually, Gong Ziyu is also a member of the Jiangzuo Alliance."
"Gong Ziyu is also from the Jiangzuo Alliance?"
Meng Zhi was shocked. Although he had some guesses, what Mei Changsu said personally still shocked him.
Based on this calculation, among the top ten masters of Langya Master List, three are from the Jiangzuo League, Rakshasa, Gongziyu and Daxia Jibu. This is really scary.
"Since Gong Ziyu is yours, then you ask me to assassinate him. What kind of song is this?"
Mei Changsu said: "It is to prevent him from attending the palace banquet tomorrow."
"Why is this?" Meng Zhi was still confused.
Mei Changsu explained patiently: "Your Majesty asked him to go to the palace banquet tomorrow just to deal with Bai Qi. But in fact, Bai Qi is also a member of the Jiangzuo League. I arranged for him to attend the son-in-law selection meeting for two purposes.
One is to reveal the truth and help Nihuang; the other purpose is to allow me to take this opportunity to enter His Majesty's sight, thereby entering everyone's sight and preparing for my next plan."
At first, Bailiqi was allowed to participate just to help Mu Nihuang, but after he met Xiao Tingsheng and took charge of the literary examination, the plan changed and Tingsheng had to be rescued.
"ah?"
Meng Zhi was completely stunned after hearing this. After a while, he said bitterly: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier that I recommended Gong Ziyu to your Majesty?"
Mei Changsu sighed: "I have already made a guess, otherwise, how could His Majesty suddenly issue such an order."
Meng Zhi regretted: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault for ruining your plan because of my cleverness. If it weren't for me, how could so many things have happened? Gongziyu had to get hurt and escape. Xiao Shu, I can't help you."
"
"Brother Meng, how can I blame you for this? We can only blame our poor plan. However, if something like this happened, it also helped us complete another thing, so it is a mixed blessing."
Of course, Mei Changsu would not blame Meng Zhi. Those who do not know are not guilty. Who would have thought that things would develop like this.
"Brother Meng, your majesty will definitely ask you to check the situation regarding Gong Ziyu's injury. When the time comes, you must let your majesty know that he is seriously injured and cannot take action in the short term, so that your majesty can give up his thoughts."
"Okay, leave this to me."
"Then you should go back now. Such a big event happened in the capital, and it also involved Prince Mu's Mansion and Yanhou Mansion. The matter will definitely make a big fuss, and His Majesty will definitely recruit you. You can go back to the house immediately and wait.
.”
"By the way, no one will find out that you are an assassin, right?"
Meng Zhi said confidently: "Don't worry, the swordsmanship I used at that time was very complex. With Gong Ziyu's cooperation, no one could tell the clues. As for Yujin and Mu Qing, they had limited knowledge and would not recognize me.
"
"That's good."
Meng Zhi left the snow cottage quietly again, while Mei Changsu still sat, quietly waiting for Zhou Chen's return.
He looked very calm and calm, but in fact he was very worried, because he did not control this plan, nor did he do it. Even though Meng Zhi said that Zhou Chen was not seriously injured, he was still worried. He could only see it with his own eyes.
Only then can he feel at ease.
But he didn't know that he couldn't wait to return to Zhou Chen tonight.
In Hongxiuzhao's private room, Zhou Chen could actually suture his wounds, but in order to show that he was seriously injured and to cope with the subsequent development of the situation, he could only endure the pain and not treat the wounds.
Of course, for him who has experienced skin peeling and bone crushing, this pain is really child's play.
In the private room, only Mu Qing and Yan Yujin accompanied him. As for the people from the patrol camp and the Sansi Yamen who wanted to come in, they were blocked by them.
They won't communicate with anyone until someone they trust comes.
Zhou Chen felt helpless. If Emperor Liang hadn't insisted on letting him deal with Bai Qi, why would he have taken the risk and hurt himself and caused such trouble?
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."
"Princess, Princess, it's hard for us to do this..."
There was a noise outside, and after a while, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Princess Nihuang rushed in wearing white clothes and a white robe.
As soon as Mu Qing saw Mu Nihuang, she immediately ran over excitedly: "Sister."
Mu Nihuang glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Zhou Chen, who was being helped by Yan Yujin to sit down. She frowned when she saw the blood on Zhou Chen's body.
