Chapter 257 Assassination on New Year's Eve

"That Phil is actually a princess, but the reason why she can stand out among hundreds of princesses in the Dafeng Dynasty is that she is not only a princess, but also a princess with a cousin as a concubine." On the way back, Gu Zitao covered a big mantle for Yunshang leaning against the inside of the carriage, and introduced the young girl just now. After saying that, she smiled and was a little helpless. "How can I look at it? How much does Concubine Li want to support Princess Fei? But it's just that she supports her. What are you going to do to fight you? I don't remember that you once provoked Li Fei.

Yunshang, who was about to be unconscious in the eyes of outsiders, was very clear at this moment. She leaned on the carriage and quietly listened to Gu Zitao fight for herself.

Provoking? Yunshang snorted coldly, "In fact, I have never provoked anyone, and I don't know what happened. They just like to pick things."

"I don't know why?" Gu Zitao also smiled like her, stuck it over and said to her, "Drop it down quickly. The reason can be seen by others. Why do you, the party, come to push two, six or five, and don't know?"

"I would like to ask Gu Junshi, what's going on?" Yunshang looked at her with a modest look.

Gu Zitao also pretended and coughed like that, "You don't understand. Come on, let me analyze for you. There are two points to blame for these things. The male minister in the court is not friendly to you because you have done a lot of errands since you became an official, and you have done a good job. The official is very prosperous. Those people naturally want to be enthusiastic and jealous when they see it. The woman in the harem is not friendly to you is because of the point between you and your majesty. It's a hazy and vague thing. Who doesn't know that your majesty always drinks with you alone in the Green Pavilion. Those people are still enthusiastic and jealous when they see it.

Yunshang suddenly became enlightened and said, "What Gu Junshi said is true, it's true."

"That's natural. Let me tell you, although I don't have the same talent as you in doing serious things, I have great ability in this regard. If you don't understand anything in the future, just come to me, I will definitely analyze everything for you with clear levels."

Yunshang sat up and arched his hand to her. "Thank you, military."

Gu Zitao's face, which was still pulled just now, relaxed and fell on her with a smile. "You really can't do anything about you."

The two laughed for a while, and Gu Zitao worried for her again. "Look, it doesn't matter if you offend this Princess Fei, but behind her is Concubine Li. Now I think you are in trouble again."

Yunshang smiled and leaned her head. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I've always had a lot of trouble."

"Your Excellency, the shadows are ready. Just wait for their carriage to pass through the Xiaxi path, and we can do it." Under the eaves of the corridor, there was a man in very strange black kneeling. In front of him sat a young man. The night was dark, and on the night of New Year's Eve, this man was dressed in white, and half of his face was submerged in the shadow of the eaves, which made people unable to see his specific appearance clearly. They could only see that he was dressed in white and the big cloak of crane feathers. On the festive New Year's Eve, it looks a little lonely and high. It seems to be a lonely crane near the cold pond, proudly independent.

Shadow Man, as the name implies, refers to a group of shadows that cannot live under the sun. And what is done is always unclear, so it is called "black".

The subordinate knelt down for a long time, but he didn't see the nobleman open his mouth. He was a little curious in his heart, but he didn't dare to look up at the master's face. He could only kneel in place and wait.

The quiet time passed extremely slowly, and the subordinate knelt down for a long time, until sweat slipped off his head.

Falling to the ground and turning into a small splash.

"Good." Finally, the prince finally opened his mouth. Although everything was going according to the original plan, this good word was very heavy for him.

One word of his, her life.

That's it.

It's straightforward and neat.

Such neatness and straightforwardness is his style.

A person came out of the shadow again. He was also tall and dressed in white, but his face was different from the comfortable atmosphere around him. Hearing the word that the young man finally spit out, the man showed a trace of praise, "I know that the prince was just blinded by a piece of flowers and leaves before. Next, it's only a little fierce as before.

The man sitting under the eaves of the porch sighed gently and seemed unwilling to continue on the topic. He took a cup of tea in his hand and took a sip.

The taste of Qingming and comfortable, floating in the cup, is her favorite Liu'an melon slices.

"Bai Cang, don't forget the agreement between us."

The man in white, who was called Bai Cang, smiled behind him and seemed to bow down. "If she dies this time, the prince will no longer interfere."

Hearing what he said, the young man in white nod and put the teacup on the low stool in front of him.

The fragrance is ethereal, and the person is gone.

The young man in white looked at him away, showing a relieved smile, shaking out a note from his sleeve, which was clearly outlined, which was a warning.

"Son, you have the ability to make her die, and your subordinates also have the confidence to let her die tonight. Otherwise..." Bai Cang raised his lips slightly, but it was desolate. "Otherwise, what my subordinates have done over the years will not be in vain."

"When I go back later, the first thing I must do is to take a good bath and then sleep." Yunshang stretched out, and Gu Zitao looked at her with a smile. "It turns out that pretending to be drunk is also an extremely tiring thing."

"That's natural."

Before Yunshang finished saying a word, there was a soft sound from the roof of the shed, and the wall of the carriage next to it shook. Gu Zitao tilted his eyes and looked at Yunshang, "What's the sound?"

"Maybe it's a wild cat. What the hell." Yunshang changed her posture and lay down next to her. Gu Zitao relaxed and then said just now, "You can't go back to sleep today. At least it's the Spring Festival today. Anyway, you have to stay up for the New Year. This is for peace."

Yunshang nodded with her eyes closed, indicating that she already knew.

Gu Zitao tuffed a thin blanket for her and closed her eyes to refresh herself. For some reason, she always felt that the journey back home today was a very long walk.

"Bum, bang, bang, bang." The sound on the roof of the car continued. Gu Zitao sat up with excitement, looked at Yunshang in horror, and woke up Yunshang, who was still sleeping hard. "Don't go to sleep. There's something wrong with this sound."

Yunshang was pushed and trembled by her body, so she had to open her eyes. Usually, there was a cold flow of light and shadow in a pair of charming eyes at this moment, which shocked Gu Zitao, "What did you do?"

With a light smile, she held it sideways on the soft couch in the car, "What can I do? If those cats and dogs can obediently stick out their minions, I naturally won't do anything.

Gu Zitao shook his head for a long time when he heard it. "It's really tiring to talk to you. I don't understand."

Yunshang looked at her fixedly and smiled. She was a little casual and helpless. "Lie down well, you will understand in a moment."

Gu Zitao resisted his curiosity and leaned side by side with her, but his ears listened hard to the movement on the roof of the car. After a while, the "bang" on the roof of the car died, and then two "coo-bang" came over, which seemed to be the sound of something falling from the sky.

After a while, the carriage seemed to stop.

Someone bowed outside and saluted, "Master, the matter has been done, and people have been captured alive." Before Yunshang could speak, he heard someone outside say, "Oh no."

She gently clicked her finger next to the carriage twice. The groom stood up from his seat, blew out the two palace lights hanging on the carriage, and whispered, "The princess can come out."

Although the driver had turned off the lights so that the people outside could not see her appearance, Yunshang was still very vigilant and only picked up a little curtain to look out. The dark night, the sound of firecrackers near the surrounding houses, the rumbled shock made people's ears hurt, and the person who spoke to himself could actually take his own The voice was so clearly transmitted into his ears that it could be seen that the man's internal skills were extraordinary. There were two people lying flat on the ground, and their bodies were tied back by ropes. However, looking at his face, Yunshang understood what the "bad" meant just now.

The two men were dressed in black night clothes and wrapped in black cloth on their heads, and their faces were also black at this moment. Obviously, these two people have been poisoned to death.

"It must have been killed in an instant after biting the poison sac hidden in the teeth." The man who reported the news to himself said with a little chagrin.

Yunshang raised his eyebrows carelessly, put down the curtain, and said to the man outside with a smile, "If you die, you will die. If you don't do it once, they are bound to come for the second time. Next time, don't make a mistake again."

The voice of the woman from the curtain was crisp and beautiful. The man outside was obviously shocked. This was the first time they talked directly with their master, but they didn't expect to hear the voice. The master seemed to be a very young woman.

And she is an open-minded young woman.

After all, it's a mess, but the cold leader has repeatedly stated that they must catch it alive. Alas...

The horizontal corpse in front of him was removed, and the palace lamp on the carriage was lit again. The coachman shouted, and the carriage continued to move forward, but it made a turn and changed direction.

Yunshang leaned against the inner wall of the carriage again to refresh himself. Gu Zitao's face was blue by the scene just now. He pulled Yunshang's sleeve tremblingly and asked, "What's wrong with it just now?"

"Look at this." Knowing that she would ask so, Yunshang took out a note in her sleeve and handed it to her. There was still an unpredictable smile on her face. She seemed to look at the dark curtain outside and said carelessly, "Maybe... is it an assassination?"

"Ah?" Gu Zitao screamed, hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and tremblingly shook the note handed over by Yunshang. How wide and half an inch long the paper treaty was, but there was a frightening sentence on this small note that was as light as a feather.

"On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the dark shadow was ordered to assassinate the worry-free princess in Xiaxi Road."

"Ha! It turned out to be... the person of the shadow? Yunshang, this..." Gu Zitao's trembling voice suddenly sweated coldly. Fortunately, you have taken precautions in advance, otherwise we must be different at this moment. The people in the shadows are all cruel characters, murderous demons.

However, did you really avoid this assassination?

Yunshang raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything about Gu Zitao's words.
