Chapter 111 Duan Fei's Secret Guard

Gu Changgeng was soaking in the bathtub, his thoughts were confused, when he came back to his senses, the water was already completely cold, thanks to the fact that it is summer now, he didn't feel the cold.

Gu Changgeng restrained his thoughts, came out of the bathtub, took pajamas and put them on, walked to the lotus pond in the courtyard, stood tall, and quietly looked at the swing gently swaying in the wind.

Suddenly, slight footsteps sounded behind him, and Gu Changgeng became vigilant. Looking back, under the moonlight, there was a man in black clothes who couldn't see his face clearly standing in the courtyard.

Gu Changgeng shouted sharply: "Who is it?!"

The man in black took a step forward, Gu Changgeng clenched his fists and was about to fight him, but the man in black suddenly knelt down.

"Little General, this subordinate is General Duan's secret guard, Ye Ying, who came here specially at the general's order."

"Uncle Duan?"

"That's right, this subordinate is here at the order of Parachutist Duan."

Gu Changgeng's heart became hot, and many words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back, saying: "This is not a place to talk, please follow me to the study."

"Yes, little general."

in the study.

He lit a candle, and by the light of the candle, Gu Changgeng could clearly see Ye Ying's face. It was ordinary, but his eyes were shining with determination.

Gu Changgeng asked: "Uncle Duan asked you to come, why?"

"Back to the little general, half a month ago, the emperor appointed a new lieutenant general and asked him to go to the Xuanjia camp to guard the frontier. General Duan learned about the little general from the mouth of the lieutenant general. He knew that the little general was assassinated by thieves a few days ago. , nearly died, General Duan was furious, but the situation on the frontier was urgent, General Duan couldn't get back to the capital, so he sent his subordinates and several other secret guards back to the capital, vowing to protect the little general's safety!"

Gu Changgeng knocked his eyes slightly, feeling a little disappointed.

He thought Uncle Duan had found clues about those who killed his father back then.

"Little General, this is a personal letter that General Duan asked his subordinates to bring to you."

Gu Changgeng took the letter, opened the envelope, took it out, and looked down carefully.

The handwriting on the letter was scribbled and wild, just like Duan Fei.

The letter said that Duan Fei was filled with guilt. After Gu Yun passed away, the barbarians immediately sent troops to attack the frontier. The situation was urgent. The emperor directly appointed Duan Fei as the commander-in-chief to lead the Xuanjia Battalion to resist the barbarian invasion.

In the past few years, even though the frontier was guarded by the Xuanjia Camp, there was no peace when Gu Yun was there. Because of Gu Yun's death, the other party had no fear, and came to harass the people in the frontier from time to time, making the people miserable, and even Duan Fei several times. I haven't been back to Beijing for many years.

"General Duan said that after the accident in the General's Mansion, you are the only blood of the General. He should have taken good care of you, but he couldn't do it because of the busy frontier military affairs. Find those thieves and demand their blood to pay!"

"Have you found anything now?"

Ye Ying said in frustration: "There are no clues yet."

This was also within Gu Changgeng's expectation, and he asked again: "How far is the place where father's accident happened from the Xuanjia Camp?"

"It's about a few hundred kilometers away, after leaving Yanbei Pass."

"The place where the accident happened is the steep terrain?"

"No, but in a plain, when my subordinates and General Duan arrived, the dozen or so people who followed the general back to the capital city were all killed. None of them survived, and there were no traces of too intense a fight nearby. The general is even more..."

Gu Changgeng's face turned pale, he clenched his trembling hands, and forced himself to ask, "How is father?"

"There is only one fatal wound on the general, and he was killed by the opponent's sword."

Gu Changgeng's throat tightened, and hatred raged in his chest. It took him a while to suppress it, and he continued to ask, "Is there anything left at the scene?"

"There is nothing. General Duan and I have searched the place several miles away from the accident, and there is nothing left."

Gu Changgeng put down Duan Fei's letter, walked to the bookshelf, and took out a piece of paper from a book, on which was drawn a strange pattern resembling the original sun.

Passing the paper to Ye Ying, Gu Changgeng said, "Have you ever seen someone with this kind of tattoo on their body?"

Ye Ying took it and examined it carefully. After a while, she shook her head and said, "This subordinate has never seen this kind of tattoo before, little general, this pattern is..."

"On the night of the bloodbath of the General's Mansion, I saw a man in black, including the thief who assassinated me before the Yuan Dynasty, had the same tattoo on his arm."

"What! They dare to attack the little general. The subordinates must find them out and tear their corpses to pieces to avenge their hatred!"

Ye Ying said worriedly: "Before tomorrow, I will protect the little general together with the other nine hidden guards. We will not let the little general get into trouble if we die!"

Gu Changgeng shook his head, and said: "The other party should be afraid of attacking in the prime minister's mansion, otherwise he would not choose to attack outside the prime minister's mansion. I am safe in the prime minister's mansion for the time being. You don't have to worry. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the open. If you Appearing rashly to protect me, I'm afraid it will make the other party more cautious, let alone show off."

"What does the little general mean..."

"You can try your best to find out about the tattoos. I don't need to bother. I'll be fine in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Ye Ying hesitated for a moment, "But my subordinates found out that the prime minister's mansion is not good to the little general, even..."

If Duan Fei hadn't kept an eye out before returning to the capital and asked him to inquire about Gu Changgeng's situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the dark, he would never have imagined that Lin Langtian, who used to be called brother and brother with Gu Yun and had a fateful friendship with Gu Yun, was a hypocrite !

"It's okay, I stay in the prime minister's mansion and the other party dare not attack rashly. It's safest for me to stay in the prime minister's mansion."

"This subordinate is still worried. This subordinate will send two people to guard outside the prime minister's mansion. If the little general leaves the prime minister's mansion, this subordinate will ask them to protect him in the dark."

"Well, just do as you say."

Gu Changgeng thought for a while, and added, "Let them also pay attention to the third lady of the prime minister's mansion. If she leaves the mansion, let someone protect her in the dark."

Ye Ying asked with a puzzled expression, "The third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Yes, she saved me once, and she has saved my life."

Ye Ying said: "This subordinate understands, and will follow the order of the little general when we get back."

"Well, then you go, don't let people find out."

Yeying nodded, put away the tattooed paper, and said before leaving: "If the little general needs silver taels, you can go to the Xinyue Bank in the south of the city to find a shopkeeper. He belongs to General Duan. As long as the little general asks, he can give you money." I will do it for the little general, if you want to find your subordinates, you have to go out of the prime minister's mansion and whistle, and the hidden guards will appear from the shadows when they hear it."

Gu Changgeng said: "I know."

Ye Ying leaped away from the wall, as if she had never been there before.

Gu Changgeng sat upright in front of the desk, lowered his eyes, and what Yingying said just now made him feel suspicious.

The route back to the capital city that my father took was not the only way, so why was it known by the thieves?

Also, his father is highly skilled in martial arts, there are very few people in the world who can kill him with a single sword, this person is either stronger in martial arts than his father, or he succeeded when his father was not on guard.

To make father let go of his vigilance, except for acquaintances, there are only people who have brought the holy decree.

Gu Changgeng's eyes darkened, and his whole body was as cold as ice.

Who is this person?
