Chapter 298 The Nightmare of Seed Grapes

Before the official start of the strategy of "encirclement and attack" between Yunshang and Lu Shen, Yunshang received a secret letter from the informant she placed beside Gu Wenlun in the capital.

The content of the

letter is very simple.

Gu Zitao is missing.

He disappeared for three days, and there was no news. Yunshang couldn't help shaking his fingers holding the letter.

This...

This nightmare also came true too quickly!

Gu Zitao really had an accident! However, in her dream, Gu Zitao was firmly stabbed by others, which made her blood overflow and sad.

At this time, the first dream has been practiced, so the next... Is it... Will Gu Zitao really... die?

She continued to look down.

It was also said at the back of the letter that Your Majesty Feng Ziqi had begun to intervene in this matter and sent the guard to help find the missing scholar Gu University in the city. Seeing this, Yunshang's heart was a little relaxed. With the intervention of the army, there may be an opportunity to ease this matter.

Originally, she planned to leave the post station quickly and reach the most violent place in Shuzhong as soon as possible, but this suggestion was opposed by Lu Shen. The reason for Lu Shen's refusal was also greatly beyond Yunshang's expectation. For this reason, she had already heard it from Lian Zhun's mouth in the morning before Lu Shen said this to herself.

Lian Zhun told her early that morning that she would probably not be peaceful these few nights.

At first, she didn't believe it, thinking that Lian Zhun was joking with herself, but what she didn't expect was that since Lu Shen had told her the same thing so seriously, Yunshang couldn't help but believe it.

Because it turned out to be Kong Jie, the head of the inner bodyguard, and some Yulin guards who rushed to the post hall later.

The sudden appearance of the Yulin Guard and Kong Jie, who has always been serious, made her subconsciously think that there was a very extraordinary situation in the capital.

But does this have anything to do with the disappearance of Gu Zitao? The reason for this is that she is far away in Shu. At present, what she is looking forward to is to receive the news of Gu Zitao's safety as soon as possible.

***

"In fact, the banditry in the middle of Shu is much more serious than what the court knew in the report... As early as four years ago, in the area of Guangnan West Road, there were fire lotus believers gathering ** sacrifices, Daxuan cults... The master of the school called the fire lotus master, saying that he saved a white fox in the mountains, and the white fox to repay his kindness and taught magic and martial arts. This Huolian Yuanshi opened a mountain to teach and accepted a wide range of disciples..."

There was a "sneer", but Yunshang laughed, "The fox repays kindness? Fortunately, he can also figure it out.

"What's so funny?" Lian Zhun turned over and looked at Yunshang, "Don't you know that Chaoli has been rumored recently that you are the reincarnation of a fox spirit?"

The interior of the post hall is warm in spring, but outdoors, but it is particularly murderous.

The guards were warned that there would be bandits coming tonight. Hearing this news, everyone naturally did not dare to neglect, especially the team led by Kong Jie, which was even more alert... His Majesty sent them to protect the worry-free princess. He once said that everything was ignored, as long as Yunshang's safety was guaranteed, otherwise, he would come to see him.

In the middle of the night, the weather suddenly changed. The originally gloomy night sky is now more and more chaotic, and the yellow moon has long been hidden. The night wind was like a knife, roaring past, scratching the faces of several guards lurking outside Yunshang's room.

Kong Jie looked at the quiet room with a wry smile and sighed. The carefree princess, who was a good-free life, didn't know why she was so well-fated and so blatantly betrayed your majesty and Major General Lu Shen, but she still wanted some of their majesty's "Yulin Guard" dead men to protect each other.

"Kong's guard, Kong's guard!" A man in a black night suit sneaked over and whispered, "Someone is really coming outside!"

Kong Jie Yilin hurriedly asked, "Did you find the whistle outside? How many people are there?

"The number of people... is a lot, a group of black pressure."

Kong Jie was stunned.

Today, Yunshang sent a message to ask them to be on alert, but they did not say where to get the news, nor did they say who would carry out the night attack. However, Kong Jie still prepared carefully and made an estimate in his heart: the source of Princess Wuyou's news is not reliable, and it is very likely to be fake news; but if it is true. So if you are so bold to attack the imperial court officials at night, you must be a martial arts master with high kung fu. If you don't hit it, you will retreat completely.

Because of this, he completely focused his protection on the small courtyard where Yunshang lived. As for Lu Shen, he was not the object of his distraction. What's more, General Lu was burdened with peerless martial arts. How could anyone trouble him?

After such a layout, he arranged some ordinary bodyguards of the princess's mansion to make a secret whistle in various key parts, but he knew in his heart that even if there were no villages in the empty space around the post station, if it was really a martial arts master, such a dark night, I'm afraid that those bodyguards would not even see the shadow of the other party's assassins; relying on, It can only be their own "Yulin Guards".

However, now, these whistles have found the whereabouts of the other party, or... a group of black pressure!

Something was wrong. Kong Jie thought for a moment and ordered several other bodyguards to continue to guard. He followed the bodyguard in black to the front to explore the truth.

At this time, in the room guarded by them, Yunshang was standing in front of the window and asked the people around him in a low voice, "These people are sent by Your Majesty?"

"Not bad. It is said that before leaving, His Majesty also secretly met Kong Jie and gave them a death order to protect the safety of our little beauty Yunshang... However, His Majesty met Kong Jie privately, but by the way, I heard that His Majesty was locked in the room with someone all night that day. I don't know what he was talking about?

Yunshang turned around and couldn't distinguish five fingers in such a dark night, but he could clearly see some joking and provocative expressions in Lian Zhun's pair of phoenix eyes.

"Aren't we locked up together all night now?" Yunshang responded indifferently, turned around and looked out of the window again.

Hearing her answer like this, the smile on the corners of Lian's lips became more and more obvious. Her words were like implying that there was no self-interest with the emperor. However, judging from the reaction in the palace, the emperor did seem to have nothing to do with her.

Outside the window, the wind shakes the shadow of the tree, and the dark clouds cover the moon. The whole courtyard is like a huge monster, ready to devour people in the yard or intend to enter the yard.

Kong Jie, who went out to find out about the situation, had not come back, and all the "Yulin Guards" were also patiently waiting in the cold night... Suddenly, outside a few courtyards, in the corner of the post station, there was loud noise and fire!

Several Yulin guards looked at each other and did not move.

"The moon is dark and killing night, and the wind is high and the sky is set on fire." Lian Zhun leaned over lazily, and his body was almost hung on Yunshang's shoulder.

"Who the hell is he? Why did you set it on fire? Yunshang leaned against him and couldn't figure it out.

The fire takes advantage of the wind, and the wind helps the fire. Together with the flames, the blazing fire has gone straight up to the sky. Fortunately, the guards in the courtyard were on guard. When the flames burned the grass, the fire was strongly controlled.

While organizing people to put out the fire, Kong Jie was annoyed: he was originally prepared for the assassination of a master, and he also thought of the possibility of arson; but these people were really strange. When he came out of the inner courtyard, he saw this large group of people sneaking into the post station "quietly" through the night.

Judging from the dress, appearance and movements of these people, what kind of martial arts master is it? I'm afraid they are all rural villagers who don't even know any martial arts!

Kong Jie immediately ordered to ignore these people. He would like to see what these people are going to do.

The villagers, still carrying hoes and shovels, sneaking one by one, thinking that they were people unconsciously slipped into the backyard of the post station, and then...

Gathered together, dozens of people met their heads... shouted, took out the fire brought together, and threw it on the material room in the backyard!

Kong Jie felt a little embarrassed.

These people didn't put it in his eyes at all, and they also knew the importance of fire prevention. However, they let these villagers light a fire under his eyelids!

What made him even more frustrated was that in a blink of an eye, he saw Yunshang wearing a thin coat and appearing at the scene of the fire under the arch guard of those "Yulin Guards"!

In fact, he knew that he could not hide his identity from Princess Wuyou, and he didn't want to hide it. Therefore, when he saw Yunshang, Kong Jie simply saluted and continued to command his subordinates to put out the fire, lit the torch, and concentrated the villagers in the corner of the courtyard.

Yunshang saw that he was calm and nodded; at this time, looking at the sky, the heavy rain was about to fall, and the officials in the post station also ran out one after another, one by one, undressed and panicked; Yunshang turned back and ordered, "Find a room, I'll ask them."

"Be careful!"

At this moment, in the crowd, a few fast darts came flying and went straight to the back of Yunshang's head!

The dart was very close to Yunshang, and it was rushed in several directions. Many people didn't even see what was going on. They only knew that several bodyguards behind Yunshang jumped up, and the long knife split diagonally, and jingled randomly. In an instant, several people were killed!

The crowd suddenly exploded, crying and scolding, afraid and begging for mercy; among them, several suspicious people, scattered and fled away... The blow of the Yulin Guards worked, and retreated, protecting the surroundings of Yunshang tightly.

Kong Jie stood steady aside and peeked at Yunshang. Seeing that the worry-free princess's face did not change, he couldn't help but have a little more respect in his heart. He shouted loudly, "The assassin who assassinated the princess and the major general have been ambush!" Don't be impatient. Let's go back and have a rest!"

***

The land of the capital.

Someone is rushing to the capital with Gu Zitao, who is unconscious.

The news from Chunzhi is very reliable. Gu Zitao, who has been missing for a long time, was really found in a cave in a big mountain in Gyeonggi Province!

It's just...

Gu Zitao...
