In just a moment, the patrol officers and the Imperial City Administration arrived, and the two groups of masked men ran away.
Xie Zhaozhao was unaware of the chaos on Yongfeng Street following the assassination of Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
She nestled in Gu Shaoyu's arms and ran with him in his arms.
Xie Zhaozhao originally thought that he would take her to the nearest Chaoyang Pavilion, but in the end he neither went to Chaoyang Pavilion nor returned to the Bo Mansion.
The road we were walking on was extremely quiet, and there seemed to be alleys and high walls.
The shouting and screaming behind him became weaker and weaker. The scene in front of him gradually darkened. The sea of lights disappeared and only the whistling wind and his soft breathing could be heard.
She didn't dare to make a sound and just hugged his neck tightly.
His breath was so light that she could hardly hear it, but the subtle orchid scent on his body drifted into her nostrils and made her feel at ease.
Holding her like this, she hugged his neck, smiled softly, loved gently, and walked steadily.
In the midst of tension, she suddenly discovered an extremely shocking fact: he actually knew martial arts!
Even if she wasn't fat, there would be heavy footsteps when running while holding her, but no sound was heard!
He moved through the alleys and seemed very familiar with the place.
In a dead end with high walls on both sides, he jumped over the wall to her astonishment.
She even saw that he walked lightly, as if he was stepping on dew, but there was not a bit of dew to wet his shoes.
He might be good at martial arts, at least his martial arts skills are not bad.
until--
After passing a winding alley, a garden, and two small courtyards, a small door of almost the same color as the wall was hidden in a patch of vines.
He knocked on the small door a few times and someone opened it.
When she went in, she could see clearly that they had returned to Yuehu Garden.
My heart sank.
She hurried to see Gu Shaoyu to check if he was injured.
He stretched out his arms and let her examine him. There was no panic or relief in his eyes for surviving a disaster. Instead, a smile welled up in his eyes.
After checking his whole body, I found that he was not injured. He was still as handsome as ever, and his hair was not messy.
"I haven't finished checking it yet!"
"After reading it, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"It's uncomfortable down there."
"Where? Does it hurt?" Xie Zhaozhao was nervous. Could it be that he was slashed by the masked man while escaping?
"It hurts! Touch it, it's all swollen!"
She suddenly became nervous and went to check immediately.
Hi, it's really starting to swell up!!
Your face is flushed. Are you behaving like this?
Xie Zhaozhao looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he punched him.
Seeing that she was still smiling easily, Gu Shaoyu was very impressed by her calmness in the face of danger and her cleverness in throwing away her coat to save her life, and kissed her hard.
He loves this courage.
The path in the garden had already been cleared clean, and the two of them hugged each other and went straight to the island in the middle of the lake.
"Nanxing and Yuanyuan should be okay, right?"
"It's okay." Gu Shaoyu explained, "Nanxing can handle it."
"Who is the master behind those masked men?"
"There are only a few of them. This time we will chase them and find their base camp." Gu Shaoyu said guiltily, "But, I'm sorry to have implicated you!"
"You and I are husband and wife, so don't feel sorry for anything. It's best to find their mastermind. You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."
"Don't worry, there are a few people watching this time, and they will follow them secretly." Gu Shaoyu said, "These people have appeared before, but we have never found their lair, so we didn't alert them."
Gu Shaoyu felt a little ashamed that he had implicated her.
Not long after, Bei Chen came back.
As soon as Xie Zhaozhao saw him, he immediately asked, "Are you hurt? Are Nanxing and Yuanyuanman all right?"
Bei Chen felt warm in his heart and said, "My subordinates are not injured. Nanxing and Yuanyuan were slightly injured, but Manman is not injured."
"The Commander Leng of the Imperial City Department has sent people to surround Yongfeng Street. The two fake corpses have been carried into the morgue of the Imperial City Department and are under strict guard."
"Yuanyuanman and Nanxing are both in the Imperial City Division. Commander Leng has invited a doctor to treat their injuries and asked them not to leave. This matter has been reported to His Majesty overnight."
"The Imperial City Department has already informed the Bo Mansion and the Xie Mansion of the information."
"Sir, after you left, another group of masked men came. I don't know who they are. Their martial arts are strange and their attacks are ruthless. Thanks to them, all the assassins were killed."
"Today's assassins total about 150 people. They are not death squads, but their fighting ability is not weak. Their martial arts are exactly the same as before."
……
After Bei Chen finished his report, he stood and waited for Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao to ask him questions.
"What are the reactions of the Bo and Xie families now?"
"There was crying in both houses. Lord Xie and Little Lord Xie have already gone to the Imperial City Department. Lord Gu also requested to enter the palace to meet His Majesty. The people from the Imperial City Department told him to wait for news in the house."
Xie Zhaozhao sighed inwardly. The death of two people must be a huge blow to both governments, right?
Thinking of what Bei Chen said about a group of masked men dressed as ordinary people, he asked, "Did those knights who helped leave their names?"
"No, the other party left when they saw the people from the Imperial City Bureau coming."
Xie Zhaozhao asked again: "Is the leader a bearded man?"
"He was covered with a large scarf, so I couldn't see his face, but I could tell he was very tall."
As he spoke, Xie Zhaozhao glanced at the clepsydra in the room and saw that it was already Chou time.
Gu Shaoyu simply wrote a letter and handed it to Bei Chen: "Send this letter to Leng Luo immediately, and then you will go back to Qingpu Courtyard to guard it."
After Bei Chen left, Gu Shaoyu said to Xie Zhaozhao, "I want to take this opportunity to dig out the person behind the scenes. If you are wronged for a few days, we can live in the garden?"
They are now faking their own death, and the enemy behind the scenes has not been found, so they cannot return home for the time being.
Yuehu Garden is relatively independent and quiet, and is guarded by people so no one will approach.
Xie Zhaozhao didn't have any objections. She just asked curiously, "Did you know about the assassination today?"
"How would I know! If I had known in advance, I would definitely not have brought you with me." Gu Shaoyu said sharply, "Do you think Leng Luo's arrangements are similar to the strategies we set?"
"Yeah." Xie Zhaozhao did feel a little bit.
"Your Majesty, Leng Luo and I have discussed how we can cooperate with each other to find the mastermind if one of us encounters an assassination. Today, I just need to hide in Yuehu Garden and Leng Luo will proceed according to the plan. I'm sorry that you were wronged and frightened."
They already had an emergency plan.
Xie Zhaozhao said that it didn't matter if she was frightened, but she was afraid of scaring the old ladies of the two mansions.
"Let's not talk about these things first. Let's go to sleep first. The capital will not be peaceful these days."
Gu Shaoyu hugged her and went to the last yard on the island in the middle of Yue Lake.
Women naturally feel a sense of security and belonging in the boudoir where they grew up. Xie Zhaozhao felt soft-hearted when she arrived at this courtyard.
Although she could no longer return to the Xie Mansion, the layout of this courtyard was almost exactly the same as her boudoir.
The interior layout and bed curtains are exactly the same, as are the tables, chairs, and benches... They are almost replicas of the original, except that there is an extra door.
The closet was not empty.
Those clothes are all of the latest styles and made of the best materials, and they include everything from tops to accessories.
"Take a look when you are free. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, I will ask someone to continue repairing it." Gu Shaoyu said, "In the future, if you don't want to live in the Bo's Mansion, we will live here."
"A branch residence?"
"We'll have to separate the mansions sooner or later. You'll be the mistress of one mansion in the future, so you can arrange it however you want."
Lying in Xie Zhaozhao's "boudoir", Gu Shaoyu touched the snow-white lace curtains and felt particularly satisfied.
Does this sound like breaking into her bedroom and having a secret meeting with her?
They slept well that night, and the news that Gu Shaoyu, the most capable minister of Daqian, had been murdered spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys.
