Chapter 257
Damn it, such a small mansion is full of traps!The people in black knew that they had suffered a great loss, "Withdraw!"
However, as soon as they turned around, Gu Xunfang, who was still behind them just now, actually stopped in front of them, what's going on? !
Looking back, I wonder if there will be two people who look exactly the same, but there is still no Gu Xunfang.
"You, how did you..." How did you Apparate and stand in front of them? This yard is also tens of meters away!
"Want to leave? Where is the Gu Mansion that I am my lord, and you are allowed to come in and out at will?" He stomped his feet, and several long knives sprang out from several floor tiles at the same time, and immediately eliminated the two men in black.
Soon, there were only three people left in the yard, and they leaned together vigilantly, not daring to act rashly.
"Who is your master? If you tell my lord, I can leave you a whole body."
The leader of the man in black gritted his teeth. He refused to admit that they, who were well-trained, would be defeated by such an arrogant and despicable person.
And this weird house, in terms of the number of organs, it can already be compared with the imperial mausoleum!What is this person thinking, what if he installs such a mechanism in his mansion and hurts his own people on a daily basis?
However, what the man in black doesn't know is that all the organs here have been set by Gu Xunfang, and they will only be activated at night, which is why Gu's mansion does not need guards at night.
Even if a fly breaks in, it won't be able to get out.
The man in black gave a look, Gu Xunfang seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and raised his hand high, the servant behind got the order, took out a bucket of small steel balls and poured them all on the ground, towards the three men in black. go away.
Sure enough, this move made them decide to give it a go, "Let's go!"
One jumped up and planned to fly to the roof, but unexpectedly there were already servants waiting there, a large net flew over immediately, and accurately covered the two men in black, and immediately fell heavily on the ground, however The expected explosion did not happen, and the leader of the man in black immediately understood that he had been tricked by Gu Xunfang, and those were just ordinary steel balls.
"My lord!" Seeing that the man in black was about to disappear into the night, the servants saw a bow and crossbow appearing in Gu Xunfang's hands at some point, his eyes sank, exuding a serious light that he didn't have in normal times, and he let out a "swish" sound. , The bow and arrow flew out through the air and pierced into the back of the man in black. At that moment, the man fell on the roof, buzzing!Several spears burst out, piercing the chest of the man in black.
In the dark, the shadows of several princes watched this scene with lingering fear. Fortunately, they were not waiting in Gu's mansion, otherwise they might have taken a step ahead of these assassins.
Does Gu Xunfang really need their protection?The faces of the shadows were a little ugly.
The next morning.
Yun Shu quickly received the news that Gu's residence was attacked last night.
The door was closed tightly, and the woman looked worriedly at the seemingly calm mansion. After hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her hand. Just as she was about to touch the cold door, there was a puddle of water under her feet.
The closed door slowly opened, and the butler appeared, and when he saw Yun Shu, he showed a surprised look on his face.
"Master Yongji?"
Of course Yun Shu saw the servant who was cleaning the gate, "You guys are..."
The butler smiled meaningfully, "The servants are cleaning the mansion, but the county lord is here to look for my lord?"
At the same time, Gu Xunfang had already stepped out while arranging his clothes. Seeing his ruddy complexion, it didn't look like what happened last night.
"County Master Yongji?!" Gu Xunfang was pleasantly surprised, "Why did you come to visit my house so early today? Please invite me!"
However, Yun Shu noticed his inadvertently smug tone.
Stepping into the gate, Yun Shu looked around without a trace, and saw the servants cleaning the courtyard very naturally, and there was no abnormality on everyone's face.
"Come here, serve tea!"
Before Gu Xunfang could sit down, Yun Shu had already stopped.
The suddenly quiet woman caught Gu Xunfang for a moment, and then he smiled embarrassingly at Shang Yunshu's scrutinizing gaze, "Ahem, my lord has already said that if I want to get my lord's idea, I have to look at him." Do you have that ability?"
With just one look from him, Yun Shu saw a servant quietly retreating into the corridor to the side.
"The fireworks last night were set off by Mr. Gu?"
Gu's Mansion and Marquis Changrong's Mansion were originally adjacent, so it was inevitable that they would hear their movements.
"Yesterday was really a good day, so it's natural to celebrate."
As soon as the words fell, the famous family member Ding suddenly rushed in in a panic, "My lord, it's not good, those, those people..."
Gu Xunfang frowned and ran away?Impossible, he is very confident in his organization.
Soon, Yun Shu followed the man to a courtyard.
There is a large pit on the ground, which is covered by iron sheets, and a large lock is added to it.
Yun Shu looked at the scene in front of her in shock. This place that looked like a dungeon really had Gu Xunfang's style of acting, as if she was afraid that others would not know.
Gu Xunfang stepped forward, and several servants worked together to open the iron door. Inside, several men in black were bound and bloodstained, bleeding from all seven orifices.
Yun Shu's expression changed, and Gu Xunfang hurriedly turned around, "Master Yongji, don't get me wrong, I didn't poison them to death!"
Of course Yun Shu knows that he did not do this, once Xiao Yichen's dead man is caught, he will definitely commit suicide by taking poison.
"I wanted to capture them alive and torture them, but I didn't expect... It's really too cheap to let them die!"
I didn't expect him to say such a thing. It seems that this Gu Xunfang is bolder than I imagined, "Yesterday, did anyone escape alive?"
Gu Xunfang shook her head, her expression seemed to say, how is it possible.
The soldiers sent by Xiao Yichen were wiped out in Gu's mansion, what does this mean?Yun Shu couldn't describe her mood at the moment. She didn't know what kind of trump card Gu Xunfang had in his hand, so that he could fight against this group of dead men.
Because the prince's shadow had already told her that yesterday, the person sent to protect Gu Xunfang didn't even move a finger.
Thinking about the housekeepers cleaning today, it seems that there should have been a scuffle yesterday, thanks to Gu Xunfang, he was able to sleep so soundly.
But Yun Shu was worried, what would Xiao Yichen do next?
Gu Xunfang undoubtedly slapped him hard, can Xiao Yichen bear this tone?
……
in the palace.
In the small building on the lake, the handsome emperor held a cup of fragrant tea in his hand. In front of him was a pool of icy lake water. The curtains fluttering in the wind seemed to block time.
No one knows, he has been sitting here all night.
The slender fingers stroked the rim of the cup slowly, and the cold thin lips raised slightly, interesting, really interesting.
The people I sent out have not yet returned. There is only one possibility, that is, they have all died, otherwise how could I have kept myself waiting for so long.
Can a mere craftsman annihilate his entire army of dead soldiers?It seems that Prince Chen really hid a very interesting person.
Is it Gu Xunfang?It seems to me that I can save his life and see how much fun he can bring me.
In Tai's womb.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is asking to see you." The father-in-law's voice sounded from outside the study.
With a snap, the book in Dongfang Xu's hand fell to the ground.
It was hard for him to temporarily forget everything that happened, and now, Xiyue's appearance undoubtedly awakened his memory. A icy coldness flashed across the handsome man's eyes, and after settling down, he opened his mouth, "Let her in."
With the sound of soft footsteps, Dongfang Xu raised his eyes and saw Xiyue's haggard face.
The woman seemed to be tortured, and quickly threw herself at Dongfang Xu's feet, "Your Highness, can Xiyue ask Your Highness to let the Lord Yongji enter the palace to see a doctor for Xiyue?"
Her voice trembled a little, and she was weak when she spoke, which didn't look like she was pretending.
Can't help but think of Shen Qing's words, "Oh? Are you sick?"
Xiyue's eyes turned red, and she lowered her head to hide the twinkle in her eyes, "I wonder if the poison in her body has changed, and I hope His Highness can let Lord Yongji diagnose Xiyue."
It was hard for Dongfang Xu not to doubt the woman in front of him, he took a deep breath, "A few days ago, did you come to the house in the main hall?"
Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, she knew which day Dongfang Xu was talking about, suppressed her guilty expression, and raised her head in doubt, "Xiyue has been staying in her bedroom these days, and has never been to His Highness's room. But... what happened?"
Dongfang Xu's eyes turned cold, and then he snorted softly, "Really?"
Xiyue knew that the prince would definitely suspect her, and she came here today for another purpose besides wanting Yunshu to enter the palace to feel her pulse. "Could it be, what did the messenger do?"
"messenger?"
"The last time Xiyue saw the envoy, he said that he seemed to be planning something recently. I didn't expect... What happened to Your Highness?" She meant that if something happened to Dongfang Xu, it would be hiding in the palace. The envoys of the Yi Kingdom did it.
In other words, it was also hinted by Xiao Huang.
Xiyue cautiously raised her head to pay attention to Dongfang Xu's face, seeing the storm in his eyes, she knew that he believed her words.
Thinking of the messenger, Xiyue's heart ached with hatred.She had guessed why she suddenly developed poison that day, it must be something wrong with the medicine given by the messenger!He must have come up with such a way to punish himself because of how disrespectful he has been towards him in recent days. He didn't want to, it just ruined his big business!
Xiyue thought of thousands of ways, whether to beg for mercy from the envoy, or revenge?Then she thought that the prince would definitely have doubts, as long as she pushed everything to the messenger, she could use the prince's hand to get rid of that damned messenger!
Thinking of this, Xiyue secretly smiled coldly.
