Arrows and feathers were shot at the carriage one after another. Guan Yan and Ping Sha hid in time and closed the doors and windows of the carriage.
This carriage was also prepared in advance. There were iron sheets hidden in the mezzanine of the carriage wall, making it invulnerable. It was just a walk in the market to hide it from others.
After the random arrows, several people were not injured at all.
There was a rustle outside, the sound of people trampling on dead leaves. No matter how light their footsteps were, it couldn't be covered up here.
Gu Yu secretly estimated that there were at least forty people outside, and all of them were masters.
The puppy in Gu Yu's arms started to get restless. Gu Yu stroked its fur but didn't panic at all.
When the assassin approached, Pingsha and Guan Yan took the lead and flew to fight.
Gu Yu lazily raised his head and glanced at Junze, and said: "Didn't you say that your bones are going to be tender after sitting in the car? Why don't you go out?"
Junze said: "A bunch of young men are not worthy of me drawing my sword."
Pingsha and Guan Yan were not timid even when facing more than 40 masters.
The leading masked man raised his hand, signaling that he was about to launch an attack.
At this time, another group of people suddenly jumped out of the ground that was thickly covered with dead leaves. They had been lying in wait here for who knows how long.
Their eyes were firm and they attacked the assassins without saying a word.
Junze opened the car door and took a look. The two groups were fighting fiercely. The blue sky, white clouds, and fallen leaves were flying. Ignoring the bloody storm, it was really a good scene.
After the situation almost stabilized, Junze slowly walked out.
Gu Yu put the puppy into the secret compartment under the cushion, then picked up the three-edged sword and walked out.
When the assassins saw Junze and Gu Yu coming out, they attacked them desperately, but Guan Yan and Heping Sha did not give them a chance.
Junze looked coldly at the assassins' moves and formations.
Gu Yu walked up to him and said: "The more than 40 masters who want to kill us have made up their minds to let us die on the way back to Beijing, but why are they so clumsy in luring us away?"
Junze asked, "Huh?" He looked, as if he didn't quite understand.
Gu Yudao: "We destroyed two carriages in a row and led us away from the main force. Is it because we were afraid that we wouldn't find anyone tampering with them?"
Junze's face remained calm, and the hands in his sleeves clenched Duanfang's hands tightly.
What Gu Yu didn't know was that his luxurious sidecar was deliberately damaged by him, and it was Gu Yu's carriage that was tampered with by an undercover agent.
Now he and Gu Yu are planning to lure the snake out of its hole and find out the person who has repeatedly tried to assassinate them.
Although the more than forty masters were highly skilled in martial arts, they never thought that they would be ambushed by Junze.
At this moment, it is like a battle between trapped animals. Although each move is fierce, it is just the end of a strong crossbow.
Between the light and shadow of the sword, the autumn leaves fell one after another, stained with blood in the air.
Red and yellow intertwined, and the assassins fell one after another.
Seeing that the situation was not going right, the surviving assassins bit out the poison in their mouths and committed suicide.
Pingsha ran over and said with a look of shame on his face: "Your Majesty, there is no one left alive."
Gu Yu glanced at Junze. His face was extremely cold. Knowing that he had seen something, he said to Pingsha, "I don't blame you."
Junze sat back in the carriage silently, and Gu Yu ordered: "Go back."
The assassin's body was left to be cleaned up by Junze's people. Guan Yan and Ping Sha both took off their bloody coats and sat on it.
As if nothing had happened, he continued driving the carriage through the woods.
Gu Yu took the puppy out of the dark room and asked Junze, "What did you find?"
Junze glanced at her and said, "You threw the dog away and I told you."
Gu Yu hugged the dog and refused to let go, saying: "You like to talk or not."
Junze hesitated for a moment, as if he felt helpless towards Gu Yu, and then said: "The way of the Di family."
Di family...
Gu Yu stopped talking after hearing this.
Di Tai was originally from the fifth prince's faction and had always followed the Jun family. It was not surprising that Junze was familiar with the Di family's ways.
When we were at the inn and the inn, there were few people in the sky, we just wanted a quick solution, we had doubts and were not sure.
Junze saw that there were so many people today, and his guess was confirmed.
After Zheng Yuanlang died, in order to clear away the suspicion of the fifth prince, he had no choice but to push Di Tai, who was following the fifth prince in a pretentious manner, to take the blame.
But Ditai was not taking the blame for the fifth prince. He was clearly taking the blame for the sixth prince.
She knows it, and so does Junze.
Although Di Tai survived under Junze's protection, he was sent to Changling's family and was unable to enter the capital in this life.
At this point, the youngest son of the Di family completely lost his future.
The Di family had followed the fifth prince for many years and ended up like this. Junze was sent to Jiangnan by the Holy Emperor and left the capital in a hurry, so he did not comfort the Di family.
After going back and forth, the Di family naturally felt resentful.
The matter had already been concluded, but before leaving the capital, Gu Yu was dismayed at the sinister actions of the sixth prince, and at the same time was gloating that Junze had lost the trust of those who surrounded him.
But at this moment she just felt tired.
Interest disputes are so complex.
It was expected that the Di family and the Jun family would turn against each other.
What about her and Junze?
Today she can still play chess and chat with Junze, because a puppy is noisy, and when they arrive in Kyoto, they will be strangers again.
Junze was also upset by the assassins of the Di family. No one knew where the fate of the two of them would go in the future. At this time, he just hoped that the road back to Beijing would be longer.
Their words suddenly became less frequent.
Along the way, apart from the howling of the puppy, there was not much else said.
After catching up with the large army, a soldier came over and said to Junze: "Your Majesty, the second prince is infected with the disease."
Junze said to Gu Yu, "Let me take a look."
Gu Yu nodded.
Junze followed the soldier over. He didn't take two steps when he heard Li Ruo pass behind him. When he saw the puppy in Gu Yu's arms, he was surprised and said, "Ah, what a cute puppy."
Gu Yu said: "Come and give me a hug."
After hearing their conversation, Junze's already unclear mood became even more gloomy.
When he walked to the prison car where the second prince was detained, he saw that the second prince's complexion was sallow, his lips were black, and he looked like he was seriously ill.
Junze scolded: "How did you take care of him?"
The soldier said: "The second prince hasn't eaten much in recent days. Every time he gave out the food, he secretly gave it to the younger prince. That's why he became so seriously ill."
The prison cars of the two were very close to each other. The two princes were bound to die when they entered the capital, so no one paid much attention to his little actions.
The little prince in another prison car is now holding on to the railing and crying to the second prince: "Second brother, second brother."
Seeing Junze coming, the little prince put aside all his hatred. This time no one forced him, but he knelt down and kowtowed to Junze himself, begging: "Cousin, I beg you, please save me."
Brother, I beg you."
Junze held down the fence of the prison car and asked, suppressing his anger, "When did it happen!"
The second prince's appearance is not that he is sick at all, but that he is poisoned.
How could a man who was serving in the army be in such bad health and become so ill all of a sudden?
Besides, he wanted to go to the capital to find out for Prince An, but he hadn't seen the eldest princess yet, so how could he be so disheartened.
The second prince raised his eyelids with difficulty and said: "The King of Hell wants me to die at the third watch, who can keep me alive until the fifth watch?"
