"Oh." Although Ye Tingyu didn't quite understand, he still understood that his brother should value Chu Qiluo very much.
Seeing him nodding, Ye Langxie was relieved. Although Ye Tingyu didn't have a good reputation, his promise was still very reliable. He whipped his horse whip and left.
What he didn't see was that after he left, several black shadows immediately climbed over the wall of the Chu family's backyard.
Chu Qiluo, who was arranging the mourning hall, had not yet recovered her ankle, so she had to kneel on the ground, burning paper money, and told Uncle Fu who was standing aside to pay attention to something. However, Wu Chenhuan did have some skills, and every detail was exquisitely done.
She is meticulous and everything she buys is of the highest quality. Although her attitude towards her is still not kind, it can be said that she is doing her best.
What satisfied her the most was the portrait of her father that was painted by the artist himself. It was so lifelike that it seemed as if his father was actually looking at her with a smile. She was giving instructions while secretly thinking about the person who could murder her father.
The Emperor, although she believed that Ye Langxie was not the one who did it, she still had some doubts in her heart. After all, the most suspicious person was the Emperor. The second most suspicious person was the King of Li Guo.
It is possible for an assassin to hold a grudge. Besides, there is no one left to choose...
She couldn't help but frown. She really couldn't think of anyone who would have to put her father to death...and the poison used was such a sophisticated one. If it weren't for Ye Langxie, when everyone went in, all they would see was a crushed body.
The body...if she hadn't been there, no one would have noticed it was murder...
According to the monthly mourning rules, the funeral was only held for three days. After three days, her father was buried, which was the time for her to investigate the matter thoroughly.
After explaining all the urgent matters at hand, she stood up. Her head felt dizzy for a moment, and she felt the candlelight in front of her eyes suddenly flicker on and off. She only thought it was because of her dizziness, but she didn't want to hear the sudden sound behind her ears.
A slight sound of swords piercing the air.
She didn't know martial arts, but that didn't mean she was so stupid that she didn't know how to resist. Chu Qiluo turned a deaf ear to the screams and immediately bent down to avoid the fatal sword. She quickly picked up the iron basin with burning paper money at her feet and threw it behind her.
, she could still see clearly, she grabbed a basin with one hand and threw it, four in a row.
flutter……
Suddenly the smoke and ashes scattered, and the servants screamed and rushed out of the house. The door of the mourning hall was crowded and noisy. Uncle Fu shouted in a hoarse voice: "Miss, miss!"
Chu Qiluo had no time to care about him. This assassin was obviously coming for her. As long as no one was with her, everyone else would be safe. She lifted up her long skirt, knowing that the only place to hide was under the coffin... Four
Her line of sight was blocked, and the assassins did not dare to move rashly. She took advantage of the smoke and ashes to hide under the curtain of the coffin, holding her breath and concentrating without daring to slack off.
"Who is coming!" It was the voice of Guard Wu. Their swords connected and he fought with the assassin not far from her side.
She squeezed the silver needle tightly and regulated her breathing, fearing that she would reveal her traces, but unexpectedly, the curtain behind her was suddenly lifted, and she stabbed it out... A hand pinched her wrist with great precision: "Follow me."
Recognizing Ye Tingyu's voice, she took a breath and almost pierced his eyes with the silver needles that she quickly retracted. Scanning Ye Tingyu's complicated eyes, she nodded apologetically: "I thought it was an assassin..." He pointed out
He carefully climbed out from the bottom of the coffin.
"I thought you didn't know how to do martial arts." Ye Tingyu held her with one hand and fended off the assassin with a sword in the other. He curled his lips sarcastically: "The princess is really clever at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."
"I really don't know how to do martial arts." Chu Qiluo sighed, and ran along with him until he was out of breath: "It's just that my reaction is faster than ordinary people, I learned it when giving needles..."
"Hey..." Ye Tingyu was obviously very concerned about her concealment: "Just use these tricks to greet the emperor brother, don't use them to fool me."
Forget it, if she had already decided that, nothing she could say would be in vain, so she remained silent.
The atmosphere became solemn. The servants who didn't know martial arts had all run away. A few brave ones only dared to stand by the wall and sweat for their eldest lady. After all, they would be arrested if they left.
Cut it off like a melon, no one dares to take such a risk.
Chu Qiluo had some difficulty following at first, but later she found that the speed of the two of them was getting slower and slower. When they approached the outer hall, they were almost motionless, watching the dizzying scene of Ye Tingyu fighting with others.
, she was only annoyed that she didn't bring some poisonous powder with her, and now she couldn't help at all.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tingyu and those assassins had fought about ten moves, and the assassins formed an encirclement. Ye Tingyu shouted, cut off half of the head of an assassin who was about to attack with a sword, and pulled his sword away.
Flowers close.
Blood and blood were flying all over the sky, and half of his head rolled around in a circle before stopping. The shock shocked everyone who was just worried about Chu Qiluo's safety and held their breath and did not dare to breathe.
Perhaps this move was too harsh, and the assassins probably couldn't believe that this was something that the pampered Prince Jin could do, and they were stunned for a moment.
That's it now! Chu Qiluo pulled Ye Tingyu back and took advantage of the opportunity to escape. Of course, she didn't forget to let Ye Tingyu run behind. After all, if she ran behind, she would be stabbed as soon as the assassin caught up with her.
As soon as she ran to the outer courtyard, she stopped abruptly. Ye Tingyu knocked away an assassin's sword with his sword and shouted in a low voice: "What?"
"You can't enter the hospital." Chu Qiluo frowned and pointed at the screen wall: "Look, that shadow."
It was just the shadow of the tree, swaying slightly in the breeze, without any abnormality... Seeing that she refused to move, Ye Tingyu couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He stood on the threshold condescendingly and chopped one in half with his sword. It was really a man's duty to kill three in a row.
The assassins behind the scenes all realized that they were weak and did not dare to act rashly for a while, and the situation became deadlocked.
Chu Qiluo took out the silver needles from her arms and secretly grinded the number. Thirty-four were almost enough.
The name of this tree is Chudong. The leaves are extremely sparse and the shadows are very thin. It cannot have such a strong ink color... The only thing that can move is a human. Chu Qiluo gave Ye Tingyu a silver needle and said, "There is something roughly on it."
Fourteen people, here are twenty."
Before she finished speaking, Ye Tingyu had already thrown out the silver needle, sealed the acupoints of the remaining six assassins, and led her back into the house.
"how?"
"Brother will be here soon." Ye Tingyu's voice was very low. Anyway, the assassins outside probably didn't dare to come in. They just had to wait until Ye Langxie arrived.
But the assassin leader was probably very powerful in martial arts. He actually broke through the acupuncture points. He didn't immediately kill them with his sword. Instead, he jumped out and took several of his subordinates with him before leaving. Chu Qiluo and the others didn't know it.
Of course the enemy would not stop them, they could only watch them fly out.
The assassin was so courageous that he even dared to stand on the treetop and sneer: "I've heard for a long time that Prince Jin is upright, but I never thought he could use hidden weapons."
