There are actually assassins in Gongsun's house for no apparent reason. This makes many people unbelievable? Because there are so many warriors in the Gongsun Mansion, how dare you go to their house to look for trouble? Think about it, it's definitely not an ordinary person.
Ye Laosan of Gufengtang was seriously injured in his last fight with Gongsun Yu. He has recovered from his injuries in Lou Mansion in the past few months.
The Empress Dowager Lou knew that had it not been for Gongsun Yu, the Northern Qi Dynasty would have appointed a new emperor long ago. In addition, Gongsun's family had always been loyal to the new emperor and he was from a prominent local family. A simple punishment would cause chaos in the court, so she thought The only way to get rid of this thorn in the side is to assassinate him with a heavy reward.
Empress Dowager Lou ordered Lou Xiping to find top assassins to assassinate Gongsun Dan and Gongsun Yu. This was exactly what Lou Xiping wanted. He had hated Gongsun Yu for a long time, so he sent the assassins after receiving the order. Empress Dowager Lou knew that her son Gao Yan cherished his talent, and wanted to win over Gongsun Yu to support him. However, without Gongsun's palace, his chances of ascending to the throne were slim. Empress Dowager Lou did not let Lou Xiping tell Gao Yan.
Lou Xiping wanted to assassinate Gongsun Yu. Although he knew that Gongsun's mansion was deep, fortunately Lou Xiping went there several times to get a rough idea of the scale of Gongsun's mansion. He drew a sketch and gave it to Ye Laosan, telling him that he must kill Gongsun Yu and get a heavy reward. The people of Gufengtang are people who value money but not people, so they are naturally willing to serve when they hear the big reward.
Fortunately, the Gongsun Mansion is heavily guarded, and the powerful warriors in the manor are not in serious trouble! Ye Laosan failed to assassinate him, but he escaped unharmed.
But this incident instantly became a household name in Beiqi. When Gao Yan found out, the first thing he thought of was Lou Xiping. He went to question Lou Xiping, but Lou Xiping didn't hide anything and told everything. Lou Xiping felt that everything he did was for Gao Yan. Although he was unsuccessful, Gao Yan also thanked him in return.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yan reprimanded Lou Xiping, saying that he acted recklessly. Gongsun Mansion was a heavily guarded mansion in the Northern Qi Dynasty. If he took action without careful planning, he would definitely fail.
Gao Yan asked, "How can you use dead soldiers? Dead soldiers cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary."
Lou Xiping was dissatisfied and said, "Gongsun Dan sent dead soldiers. If they don't succeed, they will not come back alive, and the dead people will not be known to be sent by us."
Gao Yan asked cautiously, "Have any of the dead soldiers you raised come back after being sent out?"
Lou Xiping said, "No, even if you are a dead soldier, you will die if you fail to complete the task."
Gao Yan said, "We have committed a great disrespect by raising the dead. If this incident arouses the vigilance of the Secretariat, we are afraid that what we have done will be found out, and things will not go well."
Lou Xiping said, "Your Highness, you worry too much."
Gao Yan worriedly said, "When there are assassins in Gongsun's mansion, I will think of you first, and the people in the secret council will naturally think of you too. Can the people you send keep it secret?"
Lou Xiping said, "They were all dead soldiers. Except for one, Ye Laosan, who escaped back, everyone else died on the spot."
Gao Yan nodded and said, "That's good. Don't make this matter public."
Lou Xiping said, "We are operating so secretly. They can't find out whether the people in the Secret Council have clairvoyance."
Gao Yan looked at Lou Xiping's disdainful words. He was really afraid that he might cause trouble without knowing it, and he was also afraid that his recklessness would harm him.
After investigation, the Secretariat found out that the assassin was related to Lou Xiping. Gongsun Yu had already expected the result. After all, who would be so bold as to come to Gongsun's mansion to assassinate? Thinking of Lou Xiping drinking Qi'er, he ordered Qi'er not to leave the house.
Qi'er used to report to Yuzhu that she was safe. Her close friend Yuzhu had not heard from her for a long time, and she heard that there were assassins in Gongsun's mansion, so she was very worried. I want to know how Qi'er has been doing recently. Although her kung fu is not bad, Gongsun's house is heavily guarded and there are many masters. It is not an easy thing to go and escape unscathed, but she is still worried and let her go.
Yuzhu went to the Gongsun Mansion with the snacks she bought for Qi'er at Huifangzhai. Of course, she sneaked in through the wall. The Gongsun Mansion had a conflict when they saw a masked man suspecting that she was an assassin. An assassin, this time the security is quite tight.
Because there were too many warriors in the Gongsun Mansion, and Yuzhu met Luan Yue during the fight, during the fight, Luan Yue looked at the figure and skills of the masked man and seemed to know that this opponent seemed to have come to steal the Netherworld Lotus two years ago. masked man.
Yuzhu was unable to defeat the crowd by himself, and was stabbed in the shoulder by Luan Yue. Yuzhu accidentally broke into Qi'er's room with his injuries.
Qi'er saw that Yuzhu was injured and knew there was a misunderstanding, but now it seemed that it was too late to explain, so he asked her to hide under his bed.
The last time the Gongsun Mansion encountered an assassin, the manor had been taking strict precautions. Unexpectedly, this time he actually came into Qi'er's room.
Qi'er wanted Luan Yue to step down on the grounds that it was inconvenient for her to do ward rounds since she was asleep.
Luan Yue naturally didn't dare to break in at such a late hour, but the familiar figure and kung fu almost confirmed that she was the person from two years ago. If she was really the person from two years ago, would this have something to do with Qi'er?
The eldest lady happened to be passing by, so she came over to ask about the reason. The eldest lady also heard from some servants that they suspected that Qi'er had a premeditated plan to approach Gongsun Yu. If the assassin was really in her room this time, it would prove that she had a premeditated plan.
The eldest lady ordered Luan Yue to go in and find someone. The eldest lady ordered firmly, and Luan Yue did not dare to disobey her. When she entered, she saw Qi'er wrapped in a quilt and sleeping.
Qi'er deliberately said that he took off his clothes and went to bed and could not greet the eldest lady, so he deliberately looked under the quilt.
Everyone also noticed that the height under the quilt was not what a thin body should be, so the eldest lady ordered Luan Yue to drag the assassin out.
When Luan Yue went to pull the quilt, Qi'er was sleeping fully clothed and there was no assassin. The extra thing turned out to be a quilt.
Qi'er deliberately screamed "Ahhh" in fear. He hurriedly pulled the quilt over and cried on purpose.
Although Qi'er was wearing clothes and watching her cry, Luan Yue turned her face away and hurriedly said sorry.
Seeing that the eldest lady was strong, she couldn't stay any longer, so everyone left.
Qi'er knew that Yuzhu came here because he was worried about her. He was very distressed when he saw Yuzhu's injury. Qi'er helped Yuzhu stop the bleeding and put a bandage on it. He said distressedly, "It's all my fault. I didn't go out to report that I was safe for a long time. There was a stabbing in the house last time." , the mansion has been heavily guarded recently, so please don’t come here again, nothing will happen to me here.”
Seeing Qi'er's sadness, Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's just a small injury. See what I brought you?" Then he took out Huifangzhai's flower cakes and osmanthus cakes. He said, "Agui left this specially for you."
Seeing Yuzhu thinking about herself, Qi'er felt ashamed and said, "Don't give it to me anymore. It's just my greed that made you hurt."
Yuzhu comforted him, "I haven't used kung fu in the past two years. There are so many people today, plus I met Luan Yue, and his kung fu is the best in Gongsun Mansion. Naturally, I will suffer some losses. Don't worry, it will be fine." .”
Qi'er saw that there was indeed nothing strange on Yuzhu's face. It seemed like it was really a minor injury?
Qi'er picked up a piece of flower cake and gave it to Yuzhu, telling her, "This is the last time you give it to me, and you won't give it to me again. If I am greedy, I will find a way to eat out by myself."
Seeing that Qi'er was fine, Yuzhu actually felt relieved.
Qi'er knew when the security in the mansion was loose, so he arranged for Yuzhu to leave the mansion. This matter naturally spread to Gongsun Yu. Luan Yue told Gongsun Yu about Qi'er sending Yuzhu out.
Gongsun Yu doesn't know who Qi'er is? Xiao Yuzhu turned out to be the one who stole the Netherworld Lotus two years ago. Qi'er seemed to be interested in the Netherworld Lotus as well. If they weren't Queen Lou's people, what was their purpose? Who is she?
Gongsun Yu still ordered that no one should tell anyone about Qi'er's gift of Yuzhu.
Early the next morning, Qi'er went to Gongsun Yu to complain, saying that the eldest lady was too bad and that her innocence had been ruined.
Gongsun Yu deliberately said coldly, "If that's the case, then let's betroth you to Luan Yue?"
After hearing this, Qi'er also deliberately said, "Then betroth me to Ah Yue. In fact, Ah Yue is quite nice, at least she's not cold-faced. With my status, I can't be a concubine when I marry Luan Yue, right? I have to do it right no matter what." room?"
Qi'er said while looking at Gongsun Yu, and Gongsun Yu's face instantly became colder.
Luan Yue naturally knew that Qi'er was deliberately angry with Gongsun Yu. Luan Yue kept explaining to Gongsun that she was wearing clothes at that time and that she could not harm her reputation because of this. In fact, she was afraid that Mr. Yu would be jealous.
Qi'er interrupted Luan Yue's explanation and deliberately said, "Isn't it said in legend that men and women are not intimate with each other? Did what happened that day damage my innocence? Aren't you responsible?"
Luan Yue was so frightened that she quickly bowed to Qi'er and said, "Qi'er, Qi'er, you got around me, right? It's all a misunderstanding."
Qi'er ignored him and deliberately said, "Mr. Yu, we are getting married soon. Shouldn't you take care of our Ah Yue? She is so loyal to you..." Then he went to pull Luan Yue's arm.
Luan Yue was so frightened that she backed away and waved her hands.
"That's enough! The golden rooster can be alone for an hour." Luan Yue was punished corporally.
Luan Yue was about to take the order.
Qi'er hurriedly opened her mouth to intercede, but she didn't expect that not only would it not work, but it would become even more serious.
Gongsun Yu said coldly, "Two hours."
Luan Yue naturally knew that the young master was jealous, so she quickly went out and willingly accepted the punishment.
Seeing Luan Yue being punished, Qi'er deliberately said, "If you punish Ah Yue like this, I will feel bad. After all, it's just a master-servant relationship. Why is the punishment so severe?" Although he also knew that it was not a heavy punishment at all. It's just that he didn't feel confident when he spoke, because Gongsun Yu kept glaring at him angrily.
