Zhijun Xiangu

Chapter 42 Assassin

assassin

Cutting the mess quickly with a sharp knife to avoid long nights and dreams, Ye Ling made a decisive decision, and rushed to Gu'an with Yun Qingyue two days later.

Yun Qingyue regretted it a bit, and felt that he had planned for a long time to visit incognito, because Ye Ling only brought five or six people with him, including the generals in charge of Jinwu Xie Lang and Yun Qingyue. If you want to rebel... It's enough to send it to Ji Qiqi.

Yun Qingyue regretted leaving the little fox at home with Wang Shu, and hoped that Ye Cen would not get involved with the monster because he was worried too much.

In the final analysis, Yun Qingyue and Ye Ling both knew what kind of person Ye Cen and Ye Qingyu were, so it was no wonder Ye Ling wasn't too worried.

It's just that after 15 years of separation, people's hearts have not changed, who knows.

Forget it, with his skill, it's no problem to bring Ye Ling out.

……

"Old man, why is this watermelon so expensive... Oh, it's raining a lot this year, so there aren't many delicious ones..."

"Mr. Xiao's handwriting is not bad, why didn't you go to Beijing to catch up with the exam?"

"Third brother, do you think this bell looks good, buy it for Shu'er to play with?"

Yun Qingyue held a piece of watermelon that Ye Ling had just bought, and took the bell.

This is the last city you will encounter when you go to Gu'an, and there is only Fangshi nearby. Therefore, Fangshi is crowded with people, and if you don't pay attention, it will be crowded. His eyes almost squinted from side to side.

Xie Lang, who was holding most of the remaining watermelon, came to Yun Qingyue's side, sneaking in to talk to Yun Qingyue in a low voice: "Third Master, I didn't expect it, my uncle is so handy. I usually accompany my uncle when I go out. How many dynasties and dynasties have been able to achieve this kind of caring for the people?"

Yun Qingyue nodded, took a bite of the watermelon, and made a "crackling" sound in her mouth.

"Third Master, why does the watermelon you eat make such a sound? Is it broken?"

"No matter how bad the watermelon flesh is, I can't chew it. The sound is because I chewed the watermelon seeds together."

"Why chew watermelon seeds?"

"Spit lazily."

"..."

This place is close to the border, no matter how big the market is, it didn't take long to go shopping, Yun Qingyue ate the watermelon and gave the rest to a few people, quickly ate it, and finally freed Xie Lang's hand.

After leaving the city, Yun Qingyue and Ye Ling got into the carriage, Xie Lang and another Zhi Jinwu drove the carriage, and several others followed on horseback.

According to their speed, they will enter Gu'an in about a day.

"When I was in Danyang last year, I heard that Gu'an was robbed again. Ye Cen still refused to report it without telling the truth, and I don't know what's going on now." Yun Qingyue put away the map.

Ye Ling said: "He has always had the character of smashing his teeth and swallowing in his stomach."

"However, we still don't know why mother exiled Ye Cen."

"...Qingyue, you..."

"Brother, she brought me into this world. She has treated me very well since I was a child. I am her son." Yun Qingyue said, "No matter what the reason is, I just want to understand that Ye Cen—— "

Yun Qingyue's voice stopped abruptly, he frowned, and shouted to the outside: "Xie Lang, is there a horse team coming?"

"I haven't seen it yet, but there is dust flying in the distance." Xie Lang and other soldiers did not have deep internal energy like Yun Qingyue, so they saw it, "Third Lord, do you want to be on guard?"

Yun Qingyue: "The visitor is not kind."

The horse team was getting closer, and Xie Lang saw that he was coming straight towards them!

More than 20 horse bandits, all carrying white sabers in their hands, surrounded the carriage. Judging by their clothes and horses, there must be a certain size behind them. Is there any collusion with outsiders?

The border has always been a chaotic place inside and out. After being robbed by the barbarians, many people simply acted as robbers. They didn't have the ability to fight the barbarians, so they hid themselves and beat their own people.

Xie Lang had never dealt with horse bandits before, so he was a little nervous for a while.

The leader patted his horse forward and shouted: "You all know what you guys do, right? If you don't want to die, obediently give me your finances! Otherwise, don't blame me, heh heh, white knives go in and red knives go out!"

For a moment, Yun Qingyue couldn't hold back a "puhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"--he was hit on the head by robbery, isn't it the old birthday star who hanged himself and didn't want to live anymore?

Xie Lang asked outside: "Master? What should I do?"

He is also from a noble family and has an arrogant temperament. When the man shouted just now, he wanted to slap him in the face, but the purpose of coming out this time is to protect those two, and he cannot be careless.

Yun Qingyue spread out her folding fan, raised the curtain and got out of the carriage, with a "click" with her left hand: "What should I do? Get rid of it, I can't keep the eggs."

The leader of the horse bandit saw such a polite and fair-faced person who was "outrageous", and immediately laughed: "It's up to you? It's not—"

Before the words fell, the next moment when he fell hard to the ground, the leader of the horse bandit hadn't realized what happened.

Except for Xie Lang, the others didn't have time to keep up with Yun Qingyue's speed, they watched in a daze as Yun Qingyue and Xie Lang cleaned up more than 20 horse bandits.

When Ye Ling came down, Yun Qingyue was skillfully tying a pig knot for the leader of the horse bandit. Seeing Ye Ling's surprise, she explained: "I'm used to it, it's strong."

The horse bandit was tied up and couldn't move, so he could only roll around and yelled "Ouch", Yun Qingyue was annoyed, and squatted down next to him: "Okay, I didn't really kill pigs, so howling ...Who sent you?"

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

Xie Lang suddenly became nervous: "Dian...Third Master! Someone instructed?!"

"There are more than 20 such good horses, and the knives are all regular military standards. Even if you collude with the whole Beiman, you won't get so many benefits." Yun Qingyue picked up the saber and glanced twice, stabbing the suddenly quiet man. The leader of the horse bandit, "This leader, explain? Not only was he instigated by others, but he also left such a big loophole, what is his intention?"

The leader of the horse bandit closed his eyes tightly, with an expression of "going to die righteously".

Yun Qingyue rubbed her chin: "It doesn't look like a dead man, I'll find a way to ask later..."

Before he finished speaking, the leader of the horse bandit got up instantly, somehow broke free from the rope, and threw a handful of powder at Yun Qingyue!

Ye Ling: "Qingyue?!"

The horse bandit wanted to grab Yun Qingyue as soon as he turned around and shouted at several people: "Don't move! Otherwise, I won't guarantee his safety."

Life and death! "

Suddenly there was a huge pain in his hand, and his body went numb. The leader of the bandit sat down on the ground and looked back at Yun Qingyue in astonishment, only to see Yun Qingyue, who should have been stunned, squatting halfway, with one hand Grabbing his wrist like iron pliers, the other hand...pinched his nose.

Yun Qingyue said with a dark smile: "Take the trick on me? You have a good idea."

The leader of the horse bandit saw that the plot was completely exposed, and immediately bit the poison in his mouth.

Yun Qingyue didn't stop her, she pushed the corpse away, stood up and glanced around coldly—the several horse bandits who had fallen to the ground just now stood up one after another, exuding the cold aura unique to assassins. The dagger glowed white.

When he returned to Ye Ling, Xie Lang and the others drew their knives out of their sheaths one after another, and they also returned to Ye Ling.

Yun Qingyue sighed: "There are assassins so close to Gu'an. Now that Ye Cen has no problems at all, how can people believe it?"

……

Gu Anyi Wangfu.

Ye Cen was bored, the dagger in his hand was flying up and down.

He seemed to hate the sun so much that he asked people to block it out.

"My lord." A person rushed over and knelt down on the ground, "Your subordinates have received news that the emperor and the king of Yue have already matched up with the people we arranged."

"Oh." Ye Cen responded casually, lazily as if unable to lift his spirits, "What's the result?"

"As the prince ordered, let the emperor and the king of Yue go away, but he failed to kill Xie Lang, so he didn't know where he fled."

With a "crack", the dagger was nailed into the table.

Ye Cen closed his eyes, and waved his hands behind him: "Okay, you go, bring him back."

The man in black behind Ye Cen saluted and left quietly.

"My lord, I don't understand." The person still kneeling below asked, "Why didn't you just kill Ye Ling?"

"I haven't seen my brothers for a long time." Ye Cen played with the dagger, the blade of the dagger clearly reflected a pair of black eyes, "I still want to meet them..."

……

Yun Qingyue supported a poplar tree on the side of the road, and she couldn't breathe heavily: "You really lack exercise, I dragged you to run, and I only took a few steps, and I was still injured."

Ye Ling spoke with some difficulty: "You and I, you, you who run outside all day, can it be the same? You try...sitting all day, you hurt, and it's okay?"

Yun Qingyue's old injury is almost healed, it's nothing to run these few steps, the more annoyed is that she was protecting Ye Ling just now, and asked some grandson to kick him in the waist, Ye Ling didn't hurt at all, But he suffered.

In that situation just now, we can’t break through without separating. This gang of assassins is different from the usual ones. If Yun Qingyue uses it as an analogy, it’s almost like being possessed by a demon. They can still move normally after being hacked twice. Xie Lang is afraid that they will get hurt. Quickly concentrated and tore a hole, Yun Qingyue had the assassin's horses in hand, took a horse by hand, and took Ye Ling away first.

He stopped the horse halfway to prevent him from being followed, but he didn't expect that Ye Ling's physique was not as good as before.

Yun Qingyue sat down on a rock: "Then take a rest."

It is far enough away from here, surrounded by endless plains, they are in the woods on a highland, which is a good place to observe.

Ye Ling heaved a sigh of relief, and just after finishing it, she heard Yun Qingyue close her eyes and mutter to herself: "I'm carrying an evil spirit, my eyes are red..."

"Qingyue? What's wrong?"

"If we want to go to Gu'an, we have to be mentally prepared." Yun Qingyue opened her eyes, "This is close to the border, the more you go in, the more demons and ghosts will increase, and the reaction of those people just now is the same as that of the people who were assigned to it." The reaction of the power of the demon is very similar."

Ye Ling was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately understood: "The worst possible thing is that Qingyu colluded with the demon?"

Yun Qingyue lowered her eyes: "It's not impossible."

Ye Ling was silent for a long time, Yun Qingyue didn't persuade him, he could figure it out on his own - No matter how pure the mind is, it's not comparable to ordinary people, let alone Ye Ling is not simple.

It's just that compared with other emperors, he is more willing to trust others.

"It's not that I don't want to believe it, I'm afraid that there will be another King Kang..." Ye Ling's voice was so low that it was almost imperceptible.

The Kang Wang Yehuan case was the largest royal family injustice case since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.

At that time, Situ Guang instructed his subordinates to "expose" Xuanzong's eldest son Kang Wang for rebellion, and even collected a series of conclusive evidence. Xuanzong was furious and sent his eldest son to death row. All the people in the palace, as well as the whole family of several important officials who "colluded" with King Kang, blood flowed like rivers in Chang'an for a while.

I also know what happened afterwards.

After the death of King Kang, even a large number of important positions in the court were vacated, and it was at this time that Situ Guang really rebelled.

One of the reasons he announced to the public was that the emperor had no virtue and killed his eldest son and loyal ministers unjustly.

After Xuanzong learned about it, he couldn't afford it immediately.

Even if the case was reversed for the eldest son later, Xuanzong still passed away two years later.

"Hey, forget it...Qingyue, I haven't asked you yet, how do you know these things so well when you come back from Mount Hua?" Ye Ling asked, "That Master Yulin taught you?"

Yun Qingyue originally found a stick and lowered her head to scratch something on the ground, but she froze when she heard the words, and then said after a while: "Part of it, and besides, I'm bored lying down these few months, so I just look around."

When Ye Ling saw his reaction, he immediately showed distressed expression, Qingyue didn't show it normally, but it was really as he said - killing someone would kill someone.

It is the same character as the queen mother.

In fact, sometimes Ye Ling would think that the queen mother didn't like Ye Cen, but she never treated him badly. Could it be because Ye Cen didn't look like the queen mother?

Immediately he denied his own idea—it was too outrageous.

"You're too stubborn, why don't you give in to uncle first and wait until I'm gone?"

"I was right in the first place, why did I give in?" Yun Qingyue said lightly, "I think the person I like is pretty good, brother, you should pray and help me, half-immortal, is it a blessing to my ancestors? thing."

Ye Ling felt that his ancestors probably didn't want this kind of light.

He really doesn't understand what the young people are thinking now...
