Chapter 262 The Man in the Dark
Suddenly, Gongsun Yang's eyes suddenly opened and shouted harshly, "Who, come out!"
A gray figure slowly came out of the bushes beside him. Gongsun Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's you!"
Du Hesheng took a look at Gongsun Yang, "Tut" twice and said, "I haven't seen it for a few days, how can I get this virtue!"
Gongsun Yang smiled bitterly and said, "It's really hard to say what to make Elder Du laugh!"
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Du Hesheng asked gently.
Gongsun Yang leaned against the trunk and sighed and said, "My internal injury is very serious. It seems that it is difficult to heal unless it is Shangguan Zixuan. However, now that my internal strength is seriously lost, I'm afraid it can't support Chang'an. I hope Elder Du can rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible. Please move Shangguan Zixuan to treat me. !"
Du Hesheng said, "Why is this difficult! Brother Gongsun, don't worry, I will go back as soon as possible!" After saying that, Du Hesheng was about to leave. Gongsun Yang breathed a sigh of relief with his eyes closed unprepared.
At this time, Du Hesheng suddenly hit Gongsun Yang with a palm. Gongsun Yang was completely unprepared. In addition, he was seriously injured and Du Hesheng's palm was fierce and fast. He couldn't dodge at all. He was hit by this palm. This slap is simply more than Gu Si's blow.
Gongsun Yang was hit by this palm, broke the trunk behind him, flew out, and fell heavily on the ground. He straightened his upper body in disbelief, spit out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Du Hesheng and asked, "Why?"
Du Hesheng patted his robe, looked at Gongsun Yang with a cold smile, and said, "Although everyone is from the Elder Pavilion, doesn't Brother Gongsun feel that he has become more and more biased towards His Majesty in recent years? Although the Empress Dowager didn't say anything on the surface, she had been dissatisfied with you for a long time and ordered me to find an opportunity to get rid of you! I've been waiting for this opportunity!"
Gongsun Yang said, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Du Hesheng sneered and said, "In the past few years, you and Wu Jiansheng have quietly handed over the strength of the Elder Pavilion to Your Majesty. Do you think we are not aware of it at all? Don't worry, you won't be lonely. The next one is Wu Jiansheng!"
Gongsun Yang laughed and said, "We thought what we did was very hidden, but you found out. Although I am in the position of the elder of the Elder Pavilion, I have always been Daxiang's minister. I didn't watch your majesty's imperial power be eroded bit by bit by little, and finally become your puppet!" Gongsun Yang coughed violently again and paused and said, "When today is more powerful than you think, there will be One day, the Presbyterian Pavilion, which is above the imperial power of Daxiang, will be destroyed in the hands of your majesty!"
"That can tell you that day will never come!" Du Hesheng sneered and said, "It's a pity that you can't see and enjoy the day when our Presbyterian Pavilion played Daxiang's imperial power in the palm of his hand!" He slowly walked into Gongsunyang and slapped him on the top of the head.
Du Hesheng wiped his hands with a gloomy face and threw his handkerchief on Gongsun Yang's body.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a horse's hoof passing by, and jumped to the top of the tree with caution in his heart.
Soon after, Murong Xun and his party, who were going in the direction of Qingyun Mountain, came here. As soon as they saw the body of Gongsun Yang on the ground, they were suddenly shocked.
Zhao Hui immediately got off his horse, searched Gongsun Yang's body, and said to Murong Xun, "The blood is still warm. It seems that the murderer has not left for a long time!"
"What is the cause of death?" Murong Xun asked in a low voice.
"Two palms, one palm on the chest and the top of the head. The internal force of the chest is very deep, and the sternum and skull have been crushed!" Zhao Hui said.
Yingge had a cold look on her face and said, "Gongsun Yang is a rare master of Daxiang. The person who can kill Gongsun Yang is not idle people. Miss, we should also leave as soon as possible!"
Murong Xun also looked at Gongsun Yang on the ground and looked doubtfully, "Who is under the hand?" According to the cause of Gongsun Yang's death, he basically had no power to counterattack at that time. It was too wrong with such a master, unless it was a sneak attack he knew.
"Anyway, princess, we should leave as soon as possible!" Zhao Hui went to the horse and said to Murong Xun.
Murong Xun was also shocked. It was really not appropriate to stay here for a long time. He kicked the spurs and left quickly. Zhao Hui and Yingge followed closely.
Du Hesheng on the tree looked at the back of Murong Xun, who had just left, and a cruel smile spread on his lips. "It's really a place to break the iron shoes. It takes no time. Are you ready? Princess Qin?"
Murong Xun and others ran for a while and slowed down until they felt that they had left the danger zone.
Yingge said, "Miss, do you want to take a break!"
Murong Xun glanced at the bodyguard who had been following closely behind him and said, "Let's take a break, eat something, and replenish your strength!"
Everyone stopped, got off their horses, sat on the grass, and ate the dry food they carried with them. Some of them were on full alert.
Several of them went together for convenience, and the big guys were waiting for them to come back. But after a long time, he didn't see many people coming back. Murong Xun's heart tightened and immediately ordered several people to see the situation.
Not long after, several people came back solemnly in front of them, carrying the bodies of several people who had just been convenient.
Zhao Hui was horrified and immediately came forward to check the bodies of several people. Then he turned around and said to Murong Xun, "It was all that his head was smashed with a palm. It seemed that he suddenly attacked!" The technique is similar to the person who killed Gongsun Yang!"
Murong Xun pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that it is not only similar, but also the person who killed Gongsun Yang followed us all the way, waiting for the opportunity to move!"
"It's just that why does this person make it difficult for us?" Yingge asked.
Murong Xun said, "There are only a few people who can kill Gongsun Yang, and judging from his death, the person who attacked him must be the person he knows well, and I think there are only the people in the Presbyterian Pavilion. This can also explain why this person is going to attack us!"
"The Presbyterian Pavilion?" Zhao Hui frowned and expressed puzzlement. He said, "Gongsun Yang is also the elder of the Elder Pavilion. Why did the people of the Elder Pavilion kill him?"
Murong Xun looked at Zhao Hui and asked, "Think about the information about the Presbyterian Pavilion in recent years, is there anything that can explain today's situation?"
Zhao Hui said, "The people in the Presbyterian Pavilion have always been meticulous, and it is difficult to find out the information about them. As for Gongsun Yang, as for last year, our people secretly found out that it seems that Gongsun Yang transferred an iron mine under his private name to the name of the imperial court. I remember that the prince said at that time He said that he was likely to kill himself!"
"Oh?" Murong Xun narrowed his eyes and sneered, "It seems that there is no doubt that the people who did it in the Presbyterian Pavilion. It seems that the interior of the Presbyterian Pavilion has already collapsed!"
She raised her height and said, "From now on, we will try our best not to act alone and be vigilant, okay?"
"Yes!"
"Bury the victim's brother, and we'll go on the road immediately!" Murong Xun said again.
The danger is lurking around, but it can't catch his trace. Murong Xun and others seemed to have fallen into a hunting game. The enemy's eyes stared at them closely at any time, waiting for the opportunity to attack, but they could only wait for the arrival of the enemy and were completely in a passive position.
After a while, a guard was suddenly hung up by a vine, wrapped around his neck, and swayed in mid-air. Zhao Hui quickly drew his sword and saved the guard, but it was too late, and he had already lost his breath.
"Damn!" Zhao Hui inserted the sword into the soil and shouted angrily, "You have the guts to come out. What a good man are you secretly!"
Murong Xun patted Zhao Hui on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't mess up first!"
Her eyes were hoistful and slowly looked around. Suddenly, she raised her hand and the silver needle in her hand flew out. She saw the silver needle penetrating layers of leaves and piercing the trunk, and at the same time, a dark shadow flashed by.
Knowing the enemy's hiding place, Murong Xun's hand launched in unison. The density and speed forced the dark shadow to constantly dodge.
Finally, the dark shadow appeared, stood on the top of the tree, and looked at Murong Xun's gloomy eyes. "I haven't seen it for a few days. Princess Qin's hidden weapon is getting more and more refined!"
