Chapter 367

"The ink thief should leave!"

A shout, a flying sword, and a black shadow.

This was the last scene Mrs. Mo saw in front of her eyes, and then she fell into a coma and lay in Gu Chang'an's arms.

Pitiful for the latter, he had to hold a woman who had fainted from fright to keep his balance from falling from the roof of the carriage.

But also to deal with the sneak attack from the dark by those elusive assassins.

"It stands to reason that such a huge refugee base should be guarded by people from the Yamen. Why is there no reinforcements?"

Gu Chang said in peace.

Although the yamen's work efficiency has always been low, but it has been a long time since they rushed to help, which is really a bit ridiculously low.

This can only be explained from the side, these assassins should have the yamen's internal response, as a delay.

And he also discovered that although the methods of these assassins were cruel, they were merciful in every move.

Every move is to ensure that he can completely lose his combat effectiveness, but it will not completely end his life.

"It looks like you guys want to capture me alive..."

Gu Changan looked at the two figures that suddenly appeared beside him, and said in a cold voice.

Those two people did not talk nonsense, one of them wielded a golden mace, he was thin but powerful, he smashed it into the air, and landed on the street, the long street paved with bluestone cracked into a spider web pattern.

The other person has a dexterous figure and moves around Gu Chang'an, which is really dazzling.

Some of the so-called "refugees" around also took out their scimitars, their faces became fierce, and they swung their knives at Gu Changan who had fallen to the ground.

The latter held Mrs. Mo in his arms, so he could only dodge left and right, unable to fight back.

"Bold thief! An dare to blatantly assassinate the imperial court official in broad daylight!"

From a distance, a somewhat familiar burly figure rushed over directly!

Gu Changan looked along the voice, his expression brightened.

Isn't this person who speaks uprightly the General Liu who is known as the Iron Bull?

More than a dozen assassins armed with long knives were no match for the opponent who charged forward with his bare hands.

This General Liu let out a low growl, his black face glaring angrily, like a Buddhist Dharma protector.

The big hand was raised and lowered continuously, and between this rise and fall was a fallen assassin, whose neck was directly twisted off, and his death was horrific.

"retreat!"

The assassin leader holding a golden mace saw that the situation was not going well, and decisively issued an order.

Even if the yamen has internal support and can extend the support time, it should not be so unscrupulous.

And the big man who rushed in completely disrupted the assassination plan, and now not only Gu Changan was not injured at all, but his own staff was about to be killed or injured.

"withdraw."

The one who is good at making light work can also see the overall situation clearly, the two hurried up to the roof and fled, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, Gu Changan couldn't chase after him because he had to take care of the sleeping Madam Mo, so he could only watch helplessly as the two fled. .

The rest of the ordinary assassins were not so lucky, and there was no reason to escape from the sky in the hands of General Liu.

When the support sent by the governor of the capital arrived, only the husband and wife of the General Protector and the brave general who had just returned from the battlefield, General Liu, were left.

There were also bloody corpses scattered on the ground.

And these corpses were all dead, and General Liu couldn't even see the slightest effort.

It seems that dealing with these few assassins is as simple as eating and drinking.

"The level of these assassins is mediocre, not as good as those ordinary barbarians from the Western Regions in the battlefield. If any one is picked out, they won't survive for three seconds on the battlefield."

General Liu said disdainfully.

"A group of assassins who are proficient in the way of assassination, at least their disguise is qualified. If you didn't take the initiative to dedicate yourself to doing it, I'm afraid you might not be able to recognize their identities."

Gu Changan said.

It is very unrealistic for a group of assassins to fight this brute General Liu.

Assassins were supposed to act in secret, and fighting head-on was even worse. Their ability to persist for such a long time showed that the opponent was well-trained.

On the other hand, it also shows that the masters behind these assassins are by no means idle people.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh where the rescue, let this group of assassins run away."

The governor of the capital is a middle-aged man with a slightly affluent appearance, wearing a blue official robe, he hurriedly ran up to Gu Changan and said concernedly after getting off the sedan chair.

General Liu's face was icy, even though there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, because the governor was in the ranks of civil officials, it was difficult to say anything, and the two official positions were still higher than the other's.

"Don't dare, there are so many refugees under the emperor's feet, and there is an assassination of the imperial court official. I think it should be that the adults are busy with everything and can't take care of them. I can understand it."

Gu Changan said, gave him a cold look, and continued.

"If it's not tomorrow, I will go to ask His Majesty to change to a quiet place, so that I can relax, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, the Fu Yin broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew the person in front of him, the dignified general protecting the country, no one in the capital knew about it, and no one knew about it.

Those first-rank officials often joked that the general was a figurehead, but that was the opinion of first-rank officials.

It's an official of the same level as the other party's status, so it's fine to make jokes, but the governor of the capital, to the other party, is just a second-rank official.

What's more, it was the prime minister who promoted him when he was alive, and the prime minister's daughter was the right wife of the general in front of him.

This is reasonable and should not neglect the other party.

But today this incident happened on his land. In this officialdom, it is a big taboo to treat a benefactor like this, and it is easy to be isolated by his colleagues.

"General Mingjian, the subordinates did come out earlier, but they were intercepted by assassins on the way, so they came a little late. If you don't believe me, look, these subordinates are all injured."

Fu Yin said, waving to the back, and sure enough, several government servants carried the wounded man who was still wrapped in cloth strips up.

After checking it out, Gu Changan looked at Fu Yin.

"These people under your command are all wounded, why are you not broken at all?"

Facing this death torture, the other party would never say that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, hiding behind this group of guys.

"It's because these subordinates are loyal and willing to charge forward, but the subordinates are powerless, so they have to command from the rear."

Fu Yin said, with a smile on his face, but extremely embarrassed.

Gu Chang'an remained silent, I hugged my wife and greeted, General Liu turned around and walked towards Fu Yin's carriage.

"Requisition your lord's carriage, this deity wants to return home."

Gu Changan said.

How dare Fu Yin say half a word?

He quickly asked the coachman to send this one back, and he was relieved to see the back of his carriage leaving.

Chapter 368 Being Targeted

Fortunately, the other party only verbally questioned him, probably because he saw that he didn't really criticize him in the face of the late prime minister.

What he said just now was also true. Originally, when he heard a large number of refugees suddenly appearing on the street, he sensed that something was wrong, and immediately summoned some yamen servants to go out to maintain order, so as to do it for the people and the emperor. look.

But who ever thought.

As soon as he walked halfway, a group of refugees with long knives suddenly appeared, which took him out of his wits!

These are controlled knives, brought into the capital, he, the prefect, should take most of the responsibility!

That's all, and more importantly, when these people rushed, most of the cronies they brought out were wine bags and rice bags, and the only two who were useful were suppressed by the opponent's number and were seriously injured.

Mr. Fu Yin could only hide in the carriage and shiver, and waited for a long time before waiting for the support from the yamen.

But at the same time, a bad news came.

It was General Mo Ran who was suddenly surrounded by a group of refugees on the street, and a group of assassins emerged from the opponent.

It is not a trivial matter for the majestic General Protecting the Country to be assassinated in Daojie, so Mr. Fu Yin, who was terrified a moment ago, drove his carriage and charged into the battle the next second.

Behind him were many masters who rushed over from the yamen to help, but when they arrived here, they only saw a mess all over the place, and the general was already safe and sound.

Originally, he thought he would be blamed, but the other party only verbally expressed the blame. Given the vision of Fu Yin who has been in the officialdom all year round, the other party probably didn't really take it to heart.

"My lord, what should I do with these corpses?"

asked one of his subordinates.

And how could Mr. Fu Yin, who was angry at this time, have a good temper?Turning his head, he echoed and said, "Of course it is sent back to the yamen to wait for someone to have an autopsy. Is it possible that it will be dragged to Ximen Caishikou to sell meat?"

That Chu Xia hurriedly called everyone to pile up these corpses first, and then went to the Yamen to mobilize the carriage.

After a dozen assassins wearing refugee clothes died, the group of real refugees stood on the ground and looked at each other, not daring to move, for fear that the people in the government would also arrest them and put them in prison.

"According to what you guys have fled to the capital, you should find a place to hide first. Who told you that you can come to the streets to disrupt order? Now, I can arrest you on the charge of being an assassin at any time!"

With those words, the refugees took a few steps back in fright.

But Fu Yin Xue couldn't be so blatantly laying charges for the other party in broad daylight, so he could only ask a few of his subordinates to take them to the nearby refugee shelter.

"Everything is really not going well today, and I almost lost my official title. It seems that in the future, when this kind of situation occurs, I should act earlier. It is better to act first, and the latter will suffer..."

Fu Yin murmured, got into the carriage that had just been taken out of the yamen, and drove away, leaving only a mess on the ground waiting for the servants in the yamen to come and clean it...

"Why did the general let go of the bird officer so easily? I think he has all his hair. Could it be that the assassin's accomplices came late on purpose?"

In the carriage, General Liu spoke.

He was very dissatisfied with the late arrival of the governor.

"If the governor was injured, I would doubt whether he was the party of the other party. A governor who has been in the comfort of the capital for a long time will not have the consciousness to charge forward, so it is normal to hide behind."

"If I really saw a few stab wounds on him just now, I suspect that he did it on purpose to gain trust."

Gu Changan said.

For these senior officials in the capital, he has already seen through their essence.

In fact, it is nothing more than some lazy guys who can rely on their own minds to obtain real comfort, so they are unwilling to take risks with their bodies and do things that do not benefit much, such as showing temporary courage in front of their subordinates, but in the end they are satisfied. body scars.

"The capital is not a battlefield. When in danger, these officials will not charge forward like your generals. They will only let their subordinates block the knives for him."

Gu Changan said.

"That's why my old Liu doesn't like that group of civil servants, and so do most military generals. Those literati are boneless guys, and they only stab their own people in the back."

General Liu was indignant, as if he had been mobilized by Gu Changan.

"You can't say that. Although these literati are sometimes weaker than you, Qi Xianguo would be unable to move forward without them."

Gu Chang'an said earlier that in a country, civil and military should be equal, and one cannot only help one side, but one is also indispensable.

Just like a carriage, the two wheels on the left and right are like generals in civil and military affairs. If there is only one wheel, how can you gallop on the streets and battlefields.

General Liu was silent and nodded, and the two of them agreed not to continue this topic.

And Mrs. Mo also woke up from the bumps in the carriage to the Mo residence.

"Husband!"

As soon as the eyes opened, they saw Gu Chang'an's face.

Madam Mo grabbed the other party's sleeve subconsciously, and called out a title that she had never called before.

Gu Chang'an was also taken aback for a moment, he had never heard her call him that before, but now that he was called out suddenly, even he lost his mind.

The two looked at each other, as if time had stopped.

"Ahem, my old Liu still has some things to do, and I still need to go to Zhao Mingyuan to talk about some things so I won't bother you, General Mo, we will meet again by fate."

After General Liu finished speaking, he stopped the carriage.
