From Kyoto to Jiangnan, it would have been much faster to take the waterway, but King Xiaoyao was nominally a bandit suppresser and brought many soldiers.
Gu Yu himself also went there with some officials in the name of imperial inspection.
Gu Yu was suffering from a low fever and knew that riding in a carriage would slow down the march, so she wore thick clothes on a hot day and planned to ride on horseback to survive.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived outside the city gate, a parallel carriage stopped at the front.
Junze opened the car curtain with a folding fan and said: "Prince Gu, come up, let's play chess."
Gu Yu hesitated for a moment. The broom star was a military commander, so why did he still ride in a carriage? There wouldn't be any traps in inviting her over so enthusiastically.
Since Zhu Jianchun entered the palace, there has been no news. She has to guess the meaning of the ambiguous words the Holy Emperor said.
In fact, she had been worried about whether Junze's people got more information on the way to send Zhu Jianchun to Beijing.
The troops will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it up.
Of course, riding a carriage is much more comfortable than riding a horse, and it is also helpful for recovering from injuries.
Gu Yu, with the intention of testing things out again, got off the horse and got into his carriage.
When they actually set off, Gu Yu realized that there was no need to worry that the carriage would slow down the march.
After all, it was the royal deluxe version of the two-horse galloping horse that was able to knock her out.
Both horses are expensive "Zhaoye Jade Lions", and ordinary nobles should eat well and take care of each one they can get, but Broom Star actually uses them to pull the carriage.
Of course, the speed cannot be compared with that of an ordinary carriage.
Gu Yu was short-tongued and soft-handed when taking advantage of others. Sitting in his carriage, Gu Yu listened to his instructions, picked up the chess pieces, and started playing chess with him.
Gu Yu held the white piece and placed a piece on the chessboard.
Junze saw Gu Yu's sick look on his face and originally wanted to take it casually. After all, playing chess consumes energy, but seeing Gu Yu's serious face, he couldn't help but sit up straight and become serious.
But before he could play a few stones, Gu Yu picked out five white stones in a row. Junze looked like his intelligence was insulted and said: "Gu Yu, how old are you? You actually played with me?"
Backgammon!”
Gu Yu said disapprovingly: "It is said that backgammon originated during the reign of Emperor Yao, much earlier than Go."
She's not feeling well right now, so she doesn't have enough energy to play Go with the bad guy.
Junze gritted his teeth and played three or four games with Gu Yu. He really couldn't stand the subversive chess game, so he threw away the chess pieces in his hand and went to rest on the soft pillow.
Seeing this, Gu Yu put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, took a sip of tea, and followed suit by closing his eyes to rest.
The carriage was so stable that Gu Yu fell into a deep sleep during the slight shaking.
Until Junze pushed her awake and said angrily: "Prince Gu, we are here to do business and suppress bandits, not to enjoy the scenery for you. You must have been sleeping too comfortably."
Gu Yu opened the car curtain and looked outside. It was almost dusk and she slept all afternoon.
But she got enough sleep and now feels refreshed and her fever is gone.
The broom star's mouth was a bit poisonous, so she was a little grateful that he didn't wake her up this afternoon.
Then he asked: "Have we arrived at the inn?"
As soon as she finished asking, her stomach made a rumble.
As expected, the broom star sneered: "Eat after you sleep, Prince Gu is so lucky."
Gu Yu coughed slightly, got off the carriage first, and walked into the inn.
The soldiers camped outside the inn, so naturally she and Broom Star could eat ready-made food inside the inn.
The officials of the post station personally delivered the food. After Gu Yu tested the poison with a silver needle, he ate it. Although it was not as good as at home, it was good enough.
Because she slept all afternoon, Gu Yu couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning at night.
In the middle of the night, there was some movement on the roof of the inn. Gu Yu was lying on the bed, holding the triangular sword in her hand, breathing calmly, and pretending to be asleep.
The door bolt was carefully opened, and a man in black walked in quietly. He took a knife and looked at the bed, but when the blade fell, only the softness of the quilt was left.
The man in black's eyes widened and he was about to retreat.
Unfortunately it's too late.
The bed curtain fell, and in the darkness, a sword shadow glowed coldly white, piercing straight into the waist and abdomen of the man in black.
The man in black fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and sticky blood stained Gu Yu's hands. She opened the bed curtain and wiped her hands.
This was Gu Yu's second murder with a real sword and a real gun. Maybe with Dong Changmao as the background, it would not be as difficult for her to accept another killing as she thought.
It's just drawing the sword, thrusting it in, and wiping it's hands.
In the face of life and death danger, her mentality changed so quickly that she even surprised herself.
Gu Yu lit the lamp with a fire stick and looked back to see that the man had bitten the poison hidden in his teeth and died.
Death warrior.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Junze opened the door and walked in. His clothes were open, as if he had just put them on, revealing the strong muscles underneath.
Duan Fang in her hand was stained with blood just like her three-edged sword.
Junze walked up to the man in black and squatted down, pulling off the black mask covering his face.
Gu Yu also squatted down and searched his body, but found no clues.
Seeing that he couldn't find anything useful, Jun Ze took off the clothes of the man in black, leaving only a pair of underpants to cover his shame.
Gu Yu:...
Junze said: "Except for scars, there are no tattoo marks on his body."
Gu Yu asked: "Is the one in your room the same?"
There were no marks on his body. If the assassination failed, he immediately drank poison and committed suicide.
Junze made a move with his hands, and more than one person came into his room. It was probably that the person behind the scenes knew that he was difficult to deal with, so he sent four people in. They thought that Gu Yu was an incompetent nobleman, so they came over.
After he finished dealing with the four, he was worried about Gu Yu's safety and ran over without even checking.
Although the four people were not searched, they must be a group of people. Junze said without any guilt: "It's the same."
Gu Yu frowned. They had just set out on the road and they sent people to assassinate them. Who was so impatient?
Together with Junze, she carried the five killers in the two rooms to the inn lobby.
No matter who they are, they must let the Holy One know that their journey is extremely dangerous.
After carrying the body, Gu Yu returned to his room and was about to close the door when Junze came over, supported the door frame and said angrily: "Prince Gu, for the sake of letting you ride in the carriage, take me in."
Just one night."
Remembering that the bed in the inn was very narrow, he added: "I can sleep on the couch."
Gu Yu was good at using the sword. When the sword went down, there was a bloody hole. She covered it with the bed curtain in time, but not much blood was left in the room.
Broom Star used a knife, and wherever the blade touched, blood splattered everywhere. Gu Yu recalled the scene where he went to carry the body in Broom Star's room.
Four people, even if the broomstick strikes cleanly and neatly, with a knife for each of them, the room can't bear to look at it.
But this was not a reason to take him in. She smiled slightly, as if she was distressed and said: "Your Majesty, the official family has a beautiful concubine, and she is about to marry a concubine. There is no way to cut off the sleeves and divide the peach."
