"What?!!"
He stood up suddenly, his eyes widened.
When the man in black told Gongsun Yan about Lu Yuansong's death, the latter was obviously shocked to the extreme.
Yes, he was indeed at odds with Lu Yuansong, and he had even longed for the latter to die soon.
But Gongsun Yan never expected that Lu Yuansong died without any warning.
"Who did this?!"
Turning his head suddenly to look at the man in black, he asked hastily: "The eldest prince? Or the third prince?"
"I don't know yet."
The man in black immediately answered truthfully: "Right now, I only know that an assassin sneaked into Changding Palace and killed everyone in the palace, including the second prince, within a quarter of an hour."
"And the assassin also killed Huang Tianshi who went to save people..."
"..."
What happened in Changding Hall had many witnesses, and it was not a secret.
The man in black probably had a high status in the palace, so he quickly told Gongsun Yan the entire incident.
After hearing this, the latter didn't ask any more questions. He just sat back in his chair blankly and remained silent for a long time.
The candlelight flickered, and there was silence in the study, with the faint fragrance of ink floating in the tight air.
Seeing that Gongsun Yan didn't speak, the man in black just stood quietly. It wasn't until an unknown amount of time later that he heard a murmur that seemed to be to himself.
"He killed him..."
"..."
His pupils shrank subconsciously, and the man in black suddenly turned his head to look at Gongsun Yan with a somewhat surprised expression.
Because this sentence implies two meanings.
First, Gongsun Yan has already guessed the real culprit who assassinated Lu Yuansong.
Second, Gongsun Yan recognized this person.
"Master, this person..."
After hesitating for a moment, the man in black was about to ask something, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gongsun Yan:
"You go out first."
"......yes."
His eyes froze, the man in black cupped his hands, and quickly bowed his head and exited the study.
Gongsun Yan was once again the only one left in the room, but the news brought by the man in black made the former's mentality completely different from before.
There is no doubt that Gongsun Yan has already guessed that Wei Changtian killed Lu Yuansong.
As for why Lu Yuansong was killed instead of others, it is not difficult to deduce the truth based on what happened in Ma Hang this morning.
Help him kill his enemies of life and death, and also help him sit on the dragon throne...
Gongsun Yan is a businessman, so he naturally understands the principle of "equivalent exchange".
He believed that he had nothing that the latter could appreciate.
Then, there is only one reason for Wei Changtian to do this——
Because his surname is not Lu.
"well......"
Sighing softly, Gongsun Yan didn't know what his mood should be now.
What is a dream for others is particularly difficult for him.
After all, Gongsun Yan not only understands "equivalent exchange", but also understands that in business, the greater the benefits, the greater the risks.
So, should we take this risk?
Gongsun Yan knew that if he didn't agree, Wei Changtian would definitely turn around and find someone else.
And by that time, my end will definitely not be very optimistic...
His brows were furrowed, and his mind was like a mess, with all the pros and cons mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish.
Gongsun Yan struggled to think for a long time, and then finally at a certain moment he suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Somebody come!"
"..."
"master."
The door opened again, and the man in black did not leave, but immediately appeared in front of Gongsun Yan.
The latter did not hesitate this time and immediately ordered in a deep voice:
"There is an inn in the south of the city called Zhuwu. You should immediately take people to ambush the surrounding area."
"If someone from the government office wants to interrogate the guests staying in the hotel, just give them some money and send them away."
"But remember, never disturb anyone in the store!"
"Do you understand?"
"...Yes, the villain understands."
The man in black answered a little slowly, and it was obvious that he didn't understand what Gongsun Yan was trying to do.
After he responded, he was about to go out to handle the matter, but at this moment, Gongsun Yan behind him suddenly added something.
"Go and inform all counties that all the masters who have passed the third level or above will set off to come to Beijing immediately!"
...
...
He sent people to Zhuwu to "check out the points" and ordered all his masters to come to Yongding City immediately.
It was obvious that Gongsun Yan was still unwilling to miss this opportunity and decided to take a gamble.
At this point, with the last gust of east wind gradually rising, the countdown to the destruction of the Great Return has begun.
And half an hour later, when Zhang San told Wei Changtian about the extra pairs of "eyes" outside the inn, the latter also understood all this.
"Okay, finally all my efforts were not in vain."
"Go to bed, see guests tomorrow..."
Soon, all the candlelight in the small courtyard was extinguished, and silence fell into the bamboo forest.
Wei Changtian didn't care about the people sent by Gongsun Yan at all, nor did he care about the sound of horse hooves in the city. After washing, he went to bed.
He was in a relaxed mood and was practicing the Luoqiong Sword with great energy in the Dream Path.
But one of the few people standing guard outside the inn had a completely opposite mood to him.
"call......"
Staring at the bamboo dock not far away melting into the night, Chu An took a deep breath.
He was ordered to come here with the man in black.
Since he was just an ordinary customer, Chu An had no idea what he and his friends were doing here.
It was precisely because he didn't know that he was so uneasy.
After all, no matter what Gongsun Yan wants to do, since it is such a big move, it must be a big deal.
And once they are involved in this kind of thing, the life and death of ordinary people can no longer be controlled by themselves.
"Brother Zhang..."
Quietly walking up to the man in black, Chu An said softly: "Take a step to speak."
"Um?"
The man in black named Zhang was stunned for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, he followed Chu An to the side.
"What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
"Brother Zhang..."
Chu An lowered his voice and asked, "What did the prince order us to do here?"
"Why do you ask?"
The man in black frowned and stared at Chu An with a strange expression, his eyes full of suspicion.
Chu An struggled for a moment and answered truthfully with some difficulty:
"Brother Zhang, to be honest, the shopkeeper of this Zhuwu is actually my... virgin wife."
"What?"
His eyes widened slightly, and the man in black obviously didn't expect Chu An to say such a sentence.
However, he quickly came to his senses and asked sideways:
"Are you afraid that what we are going to do will affect her?"
"yes......"
Chu An lowered his head and pleaded in a sincere tone: "Brother Zhang, although I don't know what the prince is going to do, but she is just a civilian girl and must have nothing to do with this matter."
"I wonder if you can allow me to pick her up and take shelter somewhere else first?"
"This won't work."
Without any hesitation, the man in black shook his head and refused: "You have been working under the prince for more than a year, so you should know the rules."
"But you don't have to worry so much."
"This time the prince has asked us to protect the people in this inn, so there won't be any conflicts."
"Yeah...I understand."
Lowering his eyes, Chu An said nothing more.
He just turned his head and glanced at the bamboo forest across the street. There was a ghost-faced red dragon writhing in his dantian.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas·The Classic of Wilderness": Beyond the Northwest Sea and to the north of Chishui, there is Mount Zhangwei. There is a god, with a human face and a snake body, and a red body. His eyes are straight, his gaze is dark, and his vision is clear. No food, no sleep, no rest, wind and rain are just a sigh of relief. It is Zhu Jiuyin, which is called Zhulong.
Candle Dragon, the path of destruction.
