The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 777 Recalcitrant
Although there is a waning moon in the sky, the moonlight is bright and clear.The bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, covering the vast world with a hazy beauty.

Two black shadows quickly jumped on the roof, their feet were like a dragonfly on water, passing by without a trace, they rushed towards the direction of Prince Jing's mansion.

Gu Chengyu looked at the small clock in the space, and found that only an hour and a half had passed.Take off the paper full of characters and replace it with another one.

"Dong dong!"

Just as Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and was about to take a breath, there was a knock on the door of the study.

Gu Chengyu's eyes narrowed slightly, he took the dagger in the space in his hand, and then planned to ask aloud.

But I didn't want the person outside the door to speak first, "My lord! The night is dark, and you haven't slept yet?"

Gu Chengyu put the dagger back again, "Is it Lichun? I still have some things to do, you go and rest first!"

It's so late, why hasn't Lichun slept yet?He doesn't need servants to wait on him at night, Li Chun should know that.

He had never asked Lichun to stay overnight, but Lichun knocked on the door in the middle of the night, which was really strange.

Li Chun didn't listen to Gu Chengyu's words, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Gu Chengyu found that she was holding a tray in her hand, and the bowl on the tray was still steaming.

"My lord! My servant saw that you were still up so late, so I cooked a bowl of chicken porridge with mushrooms for you." Li Chun entered the room and put the tray in his hand on the table.

Gu Chengyu frowned, "Leave it alone! I'm not used to eating late at night, why haven't you slept yet?"

Li Chun smiled, "My lord hasn't slept so late, how dare the servants sleep?"

After Lichun finished speaking, he handed the bowl to Gu Chengyu.

"Your Excellency is busy with work, and you will not be idle when you come back. You should pay attention to your body."

Lichun stood in front of Gu Chengyi, looked at him with a smile, the tenderness in his eyes made Gu Chengyu's brows wrinkle even more.

"Cough! You go to rest first! I still have things to do." Gu Chengyu didn't touch the bowl of porridge, but his tone was a little impatient.

A trace of injury flashed across Li Chun's eyes, and then he glanced at the big letter on Gu Chengyu's desk.

"Then the lord drank the porridge while it was hot, so let's rest earlier! The servants will leave first."

Li Chun saluted Gu Chengyu, then picked up the tray, and walked out of the study slowly.

Gu Chengyu watched Lichun leave the study with cold eyes, and set his eyes on the steaming bowl of chicken porridge with mushrooms.

By coincidence, he took out a silver needle and put it into the porridge.

After a long time, Gu Chengyu found that the silver needle hadn't changed color, and Gu Chengyu laughed at himself, what are you doing?
He remembered the way Lichun looked at him just now. Could it be that Lichun is interested in him?
"Ah! There's a ghost!"

Because of this scream, the peace in Prince Jing's mansion was broken, and the mansion suddenly became chaotic.

Ming Mo's breath was a little unstable, he didn't expect to avoid these hidden guards, but fell into the hands of a daughter-in-law.

Originally, the two of them searched several houses, but with Miyan, they can be regarded as invincible.

Who would have thought that this daughter-in-law was also planning to sneak into this room.

The two of them stunned a man in the house, and just checked that there were no children in the house.

I came out and looked around and saw that there was no one around, and there was no sign of a hidden guard, so I planned to close the door and then search for the next room.

The daughter-in-law saw the flash of light in the room from a distance, and hurriedly hid in the dark, and then saw two dark shadows flashing under the moonlight.

Panicked, he yelled, thinking he had seen a ghost.

Ming Mo and the others were in the house just now, and the daughter-in-law was far away, so they sneaked over, so they naturally didn't pay attention.

Ming Mo and Ming Yan secretly shouted that it was not good, this would definitely alarm the guards in the mansion.

"Quickly retreat!" Ming Yan whispered, he had already heard someone rushing over.

"Where to go?"

"Come on, there are assassins!"

Several figures flew over quickly, and one of them had already stabbed him with a sword.

After a while, several people were fighting together.

"My lord! There are assassins coming to the house!" Xiao Chengzi hurried into Prince Jing's bedroom and said in a panic.

"Come here, protect the prince!" There was a mess outside, and Tang Canling's voice sounded outside the house.

Ming Mo and Ming Yan are scolding their mothers in their hearts, why is it so unlucky?
As more and more guards gathered, Ming Mo felt more and more strenuous.

"You go first, I'll hold them back." Ming Yan and Ming Mo defended against the enemy back to back, Ming Mo said in Ming Yan's ear.

"No, you can't hold them back alone."

"Go and see that little baby, don't let anyone take it away." Prince Jing rolled over and got off the bed, and instructed Tang Shenling.

"Change clothes for the king, let's go! Let's meet the assassin too!"

The corners of Prince Jing's lips raised slightly, the fish finally took the bait.

Ming Yan's hand holding the hilt of the sword became more and more difficult, his breathing was already very unstable, and Ming Mo's situation was not much better.

Both of them knew that they had to find a way to escape, otherwise they would not die, or they would be used to blackmail adults.

Ming Mo was panting heavily, the wound on his leg made him stand unsteadily.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Xiao Zhong, the time had come, but Ming Mo and the others hadn't come back, it seemed they had been discovered.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. If he was found, there was no need to worry about having the letter to save his life.

He has thought about it for the past few days, the emperor is getting old day by day, it is impossible for him to be a pure minister all the time, and he has to choose someone to be loyal to in the future.

Although Prince Jing's calculation made him very unhappy, he had to admit that Prince Jing's ability was not inferior to other princes, even worse.

It's just such a coercive means, it's absolutely impossible to want to be loyal to him willingly.

However, he still included Prince Jing as the object of investigation.

Officials never follow his preferences, nor can he help someone become emperor by himself.

If King Jing really becomes the new emperor, can he still resign and return to his hometown?

Suddenly, Gu Chengyu stopped, "These two idiots!"

He took down the sword hanging on the wall of the study room, and before he even had time to change into his night clothes, he lightly stepped on his feet and flew towards Prince Jing's mansion.

Although Gu Chengyu's lightness kung fu is not yet at the level of Treading Wuhen, his speed is extremely fast.

He swept across the roofs and treetops, and within a few breaths, Prince Jing's Mansion was already within sight.

Now it is the second watch time, logically speaking, the mansion should be completely dark, but at this time, the candles in Prince Jing's mansion are brightly lit.

"This king advises you not to hold back stubbornly. As long as you put down the sword in your hand, this king will protect your lives."

Xiao Chengzi supported King Jing and stood aside to watch the battle. King Jing covered his pale face with a handkerchief.

He looked at the two masked men, but his eyes were as sharp as sharp knives.

Ming Mo and the others didn't speak, the wounds on their bodies were getting more and more, and they couldn't last long.

"You heard what the prince said clearly. As long as you put down your swords, the prince will not kill you."

Xiao Chengzi's feminine voice was accompanied by the sound of swords clashing, but Ming Mo and the others still turned a deaf ear to it.

Originally, the guards pressed on every step of the way, but Ming Mo and the others could no longer hold back, but they knew in their hearts that it was time for them to kill themselves.
