Chapter 20 The Assassin

Leng Shuang couldn't break free and could only say: "Gu Tingyu, let me go. I want to go back to the capital. I must rush back to the capital as soon as possible."

"No, I absolutely cannot let you return to the capital!" Gu Tingyu said categorically. He could not let Leng Shuang return to the capital. There would definitely be many dangers along the way, especially before he found out who that person was.

To ensure her safety.

"Gu Tingyu, I beg you, please let me go back, I must go back!" Leng Shuang said, she must find out the person behind the scenes and expose him.

Gu Tingyu ignored Leng Shuang's plea. He kissed Leng Shuang, and then bit Leng Shuang's lips fiercely. The smell of blood filled their breaths.

"Ugh~" Leng Shuang groaned in pain.

Gu Tingyu heard Leng Shuang's painful gasp, and immediately let go of Leng Shuang, and then said, "I'm sorry, I hurt you."

Leng Shuang didn't speak, just lowered his head and wiped his mouth, and then said: "I'm hungry, hurry up and get me something to eat."

"Okay." Gu Tingyu smiled and then went to the kitchen. Leng Shuang lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. She was exhausted. She wanted to take a nap to regain her energy before returning to the Imperial Palace.

Gu Tingyu came back from the kitchen with food. He knocked gently on the door: "I'm back, it's time to eat."

"Okay." Leng Shuang responded, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"Let's set off after we're full." Leng Shuang said while sitting on the stool.

Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "Okay."

Leng Shuang lowered her head to eat. Gu Tingyu found it very pleasing to see the way Leng Shuang lowered her head to eat. Leng Shuang's cheeks were a little scarlet, but she could not hide her beauty. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even in

It is difficult to find such a girl in the capital.

Gu Tingyu frowned slightly. He felt that he seemed to have some demonic barrier. He should not have any illusions about Leng Shuang. The two of them would never be able to. Leng Shuang did not have him in her heart at all.

After finishing the meal, Gu Tingyu put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then helped Leng Shuang get into the carriage.

Leng Shuang sat in the carriage without saying a word, and Gu Tingyu didn't dare to disturb him. The two of them just stayed there quietly. After a while, Leng Shuang took the lead and asked, "Do you know where there is a shop selling medicinal materials in the capital?"

Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "I know, I'll take you there."

Leng Shuang nodded. She did need to buy some medicinal materials because she was not in good health now and needed some medicinal materials.

Gu Tingyu drove Leng Shuang to a shop called Yaowangtang. Leng Shuang paid the bill. Gu Tingyu packed the medicinal materials for Leng Shuang. Leng Shuang sorted out his things and stuffed them into the bag.

.

"Let's go." Gu Tingyu said.

"kindness."

Leng Shuang left the general's mansion with Gu Tingyu on horseback.

Leng Shuang watched the scenery on both sides of the street fly by, her eyes a little moist.

This is her former hometown and the place where she has lived for twenty years. She was born and raised here. If nothing happened to her parents, she would still be the princess here, with rich clothes and fine food, and unlimited honors and favors.

She misses her parents, her brother and sister-in-law. Unfortunately, she can't come back here, and she has no shame to go back. She can only escape now.

The carriage was driving slowly. Suddenly, there was a noise ahead. Gu Tingyu looked up and saw a group of soldiers in front of him, driving away the people. Gu Tingyu hurriedly pulled the reins and the horse stopped.

"What's wrong?" Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu worriedly.

"What happened up front? I'll go down and have a look." After Gu Tingyu said that, he jumped out of the carriage.

He ran over and saw soldiers escorting several people this way.

Gu Tingyu walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"These assassins are going to rob. Brothers, catch these thieves and bring them back to the Yamen." A soldier said loudly.

"What?" Gu Tingyu shouted in surprise.

Aren't these people the assassins they are looking for?

"Where are you from? You dare to be bandits in broad daylight. Do you know who we are?" the soldier asked.

"We don't care who you are, in short, don't block the way, we are in a hurry." The leader yelled, they had been waiting here for a long time, and this Gu Tingyu actually dared to block their way.

Gu Tingyu sneered and said, "Are you from Qi?"

"how do you know?"

"Of course I know that your people were caught stealing money from me last night. I advise you to surrender obediently." Gu Tingyu said calmly.

"Hahaha..." Those people laughed mockingly, and then said: "Boy, which village are you from? You dare to pretend to be a royal noble. I tell you, those who have sense will let us go immediately, otherwise, I will

If you kill your whole family, your wife, children, and children will not survive. If you don’t believe it, just try it!"

When Gu Tingyu heard this, he suddenly became furious: "Okay, in this case, I will send you back to the west, and your bodies will be thrown into the mountains and forests to feed the wolves."

"You, you, and the rest of you, all get out of here." Gu Tingyu said, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, exuding a murderous aura. The people around him fled away. Although these people were fierce, they were afraid.

Due to Gu Tingyu's pressure, they were all afraid that Gu Tingyu would suddenly draw his sword, so they ran away, not daring to confront Gu Tingyu head-on.

Gu Tingyu stared at these people with heightened vigilance, Leng Shuang said: "Gu Tingyu, be careful."

Gu Tingyu looked back at Leng Shuang and said, "Shuang Shuang, please wait for me in the carriage for a while. I'll go catch them all."

Gu Tingyu said and chased after the group of people.

Gu Tingyu quickly caught up with the group of people. He took out his sword and forced those people away. Seeing this, those people were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, but how could Gu Tingyu let them leave.

"You guys stop, or I will kill you." Gu Tingyu threatened.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..." Those people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. They really didn't understand why Gu Tingyu would catch up with them and kill them.

Gu Tingyu glanced at them disdainfully, and said coldly: "I'll count to three, if you don't stop, I'll cut off your arms and legs so that you can never run away again!"

After Gu Tingyu said that, he raised his sword and slashed at them. Those people were forced to stop and had no choice but to stop.

Leng Shuang was in the carriage, looking at the situation outside through the gap in the curtain. Gu Tingyu's sword was so sharp that it would cut the opponent's skin every time, and the blood would spatter and dye the soil in front of the horse's hooves red.

The horses' hooves trampled on those people, and those people fell into a pool of blood. A strong smell of blood filled the air.

Gu Tingyu did not stop, but went faster and faster. Finally, Gu Tingyu nodded and said: "Wait for me here, I will be back in a while."

Leng Shuang hummed, watched Gu Tingyu leave, and then sat there waiting for Gu Tingyu. At this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats came. Leng Shuang followed the sound and saw a gorgeous carriage galloping towards him. Outside the carriage,

The curtain made a loud noise as it was thrown away.

Leng Shuang squinted her eyes, this was... Gu Tingyu, he actually came to find her again. Leng Shuang watched Gu Tingyu dismount his horse, and then walked towards her.

Leng Shuang watched Gu Tingyu walking towards her, her eyes flickered, and she stretched out her hand: "Gu Tingyu, didn't you say you would marry me?"

Gu Tingyu grabbed Leng Shuang's hand and said, "Leng Shuang, let's go back. I don't want you to stay here."

"Gu Tingyu, you know that we are not suitable for each other, but you still want to marry me?" Leng Shuang asked.

"I..." Gu Tingyu hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "If you don't marry me, who do you want to marry? Have you forgotten that the death of your parents is closely related to our General's Mansion? I promised you,

I will definitely help you get revenge!"

As Gu Tingyu said that, he hugged Leng Shuang into his arms. He hugged Leng Shuang tightly. Leng Shuang did not resist. She knew that in this situation, she could only take advantage of the situation and get close to Gu Tingyu and seek shelter.

"Gu Tingyu, do you know that I need you very much now." Leng Shuang whispered.

Gu Tingyu slightly let go of Leng Shuang, looked at Leng Shuang's watery eyes, took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "Shuang Shuang, from now on, I will protect you and will not let anyone bully you.

I will love you forever and never let you down."

When Leng Shuang heard Gu Tingyu's words, her tears couldn't stop flowing down. She threw herself into Gu Tingyu's arms and cried, "Me too..."

Gu Tingyu patted Leng Shuang on the back and said: "Don't be afraid, Shuang Shuang, I'm here to accompany you, no one will hurt you."

Leng Shuang nodded gently in Gu Tingyu's arms.

Gu Tingyu calmed Leng Shuang's emotions for a long time before letting Leng Shuang get on the carriage again.

"You go back first. I'm going to catch those assassins to avoid long nights. If they escape, it will be troublesome." Leng Shuang said worriedly.

Gu Tingyu nodded and said: "Then you should pay attention to yourself and don't show off. If you are in danger, hide in the carriage immediately."

"Yeah." Leng Shuang responded softly, watching Gu Tingyu get on his horse and disappear from sight.

Gu Tingyu had been tracking the assassins, but as he kept chasing, he suddenly felt a strange fragrance coming from behind him.

"Poisonous!" Gu Tingyu secretly screamed, then immediately held his breath and closed his breath.

"Boy, I advise you to just surrender!" A sinister voice came into Gu Tingyu's ears, and then he smelled an extremely unpleasant smell of medicine.

"Hmph, I won't be captured without mercy." Gu Tingyu said through gritted teeth, while drawing out the sword at his waist and attacking the man in black.

Gu Tingyu was very powerful in martial arts and had superb swordsmanship, but as soon as he fought with the man, he was knocked off his horse. The man rode the horse and ran away. Gu Tingyu hurriedly jumped off the horse and put his arms on the ground.

Relieve the pain of falling to the ground.

Gu Tingyu endured the pain, climbed to the side of the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw Leng Shuang unconscious inside, with a pale face and purple lips, as if he was poisoned. He immediately helped Leng Shuang and got into the carriage.

Leng Shuang was lying on the bed, her eyebrows furrowed and her lips trembling, as if she was in pain.

"Shuangshuang, what's wrong with you?" Gu Tingyu asked.

Leng Shuang opened her eyes and said weakly: "I'm fine."

"How can you be fine? You must have been poisoned. Let me let the imperial doctor take a look. Don't worry, I will cure you. If you really have a problem, I will feel very guilty. After all, it is because of me, you

You will be poisoned."

Gu Tingyu's words were not meant to deceive Leng Shuang. Leng Shuang's father and mother died because of saving Gu Tingyu. Gu Tingyu was indeed very guilty, and he had already identified Leng Shuang, so naturally he was not willing to let Leng Shuang suffer this crime.

"Leave me alone and send someone to inform the old lady quickly. I don't want to alarm the master." Leng Shuang said.

"I have sent someone back to report to grandma. Grandma is on her way now and will probably arrive at the General's Mansion tomorrow morning," Gu Tingyu said.

When Leng Shuang heard Gu Tingyu's words, her heart suddenly felt warm. With Gu Tingyu by her side, her heart was filled with warmth.

Gu Tingyu helped Leng Shuang to the other end of the carriage, and then hugged her into his arms. Leng Shuang leaned on Gu Tingyu's chest, listening to Gu Tingyu's steady and powerful heartbeat.

Gu Tingyu gently kissed Leng Shuang's forehead.

The atmosphere in the carriage became ambiguous. Gu Tingyu pressed Leng Shuang's head on his shoulder. Leng Shuang did not struggle. She leaned against Gu Tingyu's chest quietly.
