C155 Evening of the Moon and Murder

Elder Gu's health was not good. A gust of cold wind blew over, followed by a series of coughs.

Gu Er glanced at him for a moment before stepping forward to pat his back.

"Don't say anymore. With our family's current situation, it's already a blessing to be able to keep the title of nobility. Why do you need to push him?"

Big brother, what is his status now? He is the son-in-law of the Prince Rong's Mansion, how would I dare to challenge him? "

He was still indignant in his heart because no matter how well he had done, he had never been noticed by his grandfather. He had gone to the house of the Marquis for so long and plotted with his father for so many years, yet his wife was only the daughter of a minor official in the capital. Even if she was the direct descendant, she could not compare to the Jinzhi Jade Leaf of the Palace.

He looked at Gu Da and asked, "Big brother, don't say I'm not willing, but are you?"

The night breeze was gentle, blowing away the bits of paper on the ground. Gu Da squatted down and picked up the pieces of paper, then placed them on his fingertip and started rubbing the river crab.

"The most important thing to do now is to keep the title of Marquis. Nothing else is important. "Only this tree with its luxuriant branches and luxuriant leaves can cover so many things. Once it becomes a withered tree, wouldn't the flowers and plants under the tree be exposed to the sun and the wind?"

Gu Er looked at him. After a moment, he understood, but he was still unwilling to give up.

"There are too many people in the family, and they even have walls with ears. If this were to be spread out, the whole family would be at odds with each other."

With a light flick of his finger, the paper fell to the ground.

Gu Er nodded as the two of them walked further and further away.

A man in black jumped down from the tree, but without a sound, he turned around and ran towards where Gu Xin had gone to.

He had a medium build and his face was covered. Only his eyes were exposed, and he seemed to have blended in with the darkness of the night.

Walking in the courtyard in the dark of the night, even though the Gu family was still fighting, no one noticed.

When he reached the outer courtyard, he jumped up onto the wall and looked at the red, joyous words on the windowsill. He couldn't help but frown. As the red candle flickered, he saw two silhouettes hooking their arms together.

After that, they supported each other as they made their way inside.

The black-clothed man's forehead twitched as he remembered a slim figure. He reached out to pick the leaves on the nearby tree and was about to fly up to the window. After thinking for a moment, he stopped and crushed the leaves.

The wind rustled. His ears twitched as he looked to the left. The sword in his hand was ready to be unsheathed at any time.

"Number two, it's me."

The person was also wearing black pants and was dressed like him. However, he was slightly taller and had less crabs than him. He came to him and lowered his voice to remind him. At the same time, he revealed his real face to him.

"Go back. Master is waiting for you."

The other side passed down the order.

He repressed the sword in his hand, slightly nodded, and did not speak. Just as he was about to leap away, he was called out: "Second Brother, I'll tell you a joke."

He ignored her and turned around to leave, revealing a black jade token underneath his clothes. "This is a piece of ice wood," the last man complained softly, squatting on the wall.

There was no trace of the second brother in the sky.

Listening to the voice in the room, he felt depressed. Why did the second brother leave? They had just started. He really wanted to know if the second brother had heard the voice from inside the room. It was the same ice-cold look on his face.

"What kind of fun is this, leaving the Senior Marquis here without seeing it? If you can't see anything through the window, why not take a look at two maps of the Spring River Crab Palace? "

With a grunt, he turned around and changed places.

"Second Brother" ran all the way and jumped over the walls of the yard. There was not a single person around. An old cat was lying down on the eaves, ready to fall asleep, when a shadow flashed before it meowed and went back to sleep.

When this person reached the depths of the palace, he heard the sounds of fighting from the northwest corner of the True Sun Palace. He squinted his eyes and leapt towards the location of the battle.

While the fight was going on, the other side was approaching in full fury. The seven people who came were all experts with strange moves and strange weapons, unlike those from the Central Plains. Over a dozen imperial guards with extraordinary skills had already fallen to the ground from injuries. The battle was one-sided.

Sounds of fighting could be heard from afar. It was likely that these people were well-prepared and were trying to block the reinforcements that were coming.

At the entrance of the palace, two similarly dressed black clothed people were protecting a bright yellow figure and two eunuchs as they fought and retreated.

One of the tall and thin figures raised his long eyebrows and attacked the bright yellow figure in the middle.

At the same time as he flew forward, his sword had already left its sheath. With one sword, he aimed at the slender figure that he had long taken a fancy to, cutting off his attack.

He came without a sound. The other party did not seem to think that he would miss someone. After being shocked, he quickly changed his move.

One was strange, the other was extremely fast, his sword pierced through the air, instantly changing his moves, dazzling people who saw it. After a few rounds, the tall figure's attacks were easily resolved, and he gradually revealed his defeat.

The two experts were in an encirclement. Originally, this person should have been overwhelmed, but his' second brother 'sword moves were getting faster and faster.

It was so fast that it was terrifying.

The tall and thin figure called out, and another person came out to join the battle.

He was fighting with three people.

The two people instantly relaxed a little as they looked in his direction. A trace of admiration flashed in their eyes, but it quickly disappeared. They still had enemies in front of them to deal with.

Even the bright yellow figure in the middle heaved a sigh of relief.

The fake calmness he had pretended to have suddenly turned into a real calmness.

The tall figure saw that he had a flaw and immediately rushed forward. Unexpectedly, his move drew the enemy's attention, after breaking through the tall figure's technique, he quickly thrust his sword towards the man's chest.

The tall man's door was wide open, and it was too late for him to protect himself. He could only watch as the sword pierced his chest, causing blood to spurt out.

And then, he fell to the ground.

Seeing that their leader had been killed, the group whistled and prepared to retreat. However, they saw that their companions who had obstructed the imperial guards were retreating here. Many imperial guards rushed into the palace.

The battle had completely reversed. Seeing two more of their comrades killed and more than a dozen assassins gathered together, they had already given up their assassination mission. As soon as they picked up their leader and were about to leave, they were cut off by someone and heavily fell to the ground.

The one who attacked was none other than "Second Brother".

The group of assassins were well-trained, and upon seeing this, three of them immediately surrounded this "second brother", protecting the others as they escaped.

The second brother stared at his opponent with a pair of cold eyes that were filled with a biting cold killing intent.

The three of them looked at each other and started attacking at the same time.

Second Bro arrived before the other one, and the tip of his sword instantly pressed against the middleman's throat.

After a while, the battle ended and only one person was left to escape. The rest of the people either lost their lives here, or were wounded and captured, and those captured had their jaws removed in case of suicide.

A bright yellow figure stood on top of the stairs with his hands behind his back. Looking at the imperial guards who were cleaning up the blood, he said indifferently, "What a good day. "These damn barbarians of the Southern Wilderness."

He then pointed at number two standing by the corridor. "Follow me."

The second brother bowed and entered the river crab.

After the eunuch was dismissed, there were only two people in the room.

The second brother checked his surroundings out of habit to make sure no one was around before kneeling down to pay his respects.

The emperor had clearly gotten used to his behavior, so he was not too surprised. Even though he had just experienced an assassination attempt, the puppet emperor standing in the Gu family's entrance did not panic at all.

It was as if he was used to it.

His eyes were half closed as he looked at the kneeling black-robed man.

"Jiang Yihan!"

"Your servant is here."

"Didn't Xiao Zongxian tell you to go back to the Tongzhou? Why aren't you moving and take off your mask? Every time I see this, I feel like I'm talking to someone else."

Jiang Yihan, who was kneeling on the ground, removed his mask and lowered his head: "Fourth Bro has matters to attend to, he has asked this servant to help him take up a shift for half a day, this servant has calculated, we are going to the same boat now, we will set off tonight, we will arrive tomorrow night, and will not delay Prince Rong's mission."

"You guys are really getting more and more unruly. You guys can just switch shifts and arrange yourselves." Especially since you left, these people have really become more and more undisciplined. "

"This servant is guilty!"

"You are guilty, what crime do you have? You have done a great service to save our country, and you have not committed any crimes. Although they are loose and undisciplined, they have always been kind to us in the way of river crabs."

The more the emperor spoke, the angrier he got. He picked up the teacup on the table and threw it onto the ground, water splashing onto Jiang Yihan's clothes. Jiang Yihan did not dodge or dodge and continued to kneel there like a statue.

"Master, please calm your anger."

When the two eunuchs guarding the entrance heard the noise, they looked towards the entrance of the hall worriedly.

The person who went in did not come out. There were no similar sounds coming from inside. The two of them didn't feel relaxed. This master had obviously suppressed his anger. They didn't know how to deal with him in the court.

The people inside the hall had a quick temper and left quickly as well. At this point in time, they were already discussing official business with Jiang Yihan.

"Think of a way to add fuel to the fire for the Prince Rong's Mansion. My life is so troublesome, why are they having such a peaceful time? The Gu Hou was the same as well, after having been with them for so long, they still compromised in the end. I knew that this old man would not be able to rely on us."

Jiang Yihan did not interrupt, but only said: "This servant accepts the orders."

"You are so boring, so boring!"

"This servant knows his wrongs!"

"Enough, enough. Who told you to not know your crimes. I have long since given up on you. Otherwise, just based on the fact that you threw me into the pond when you were five years old, you wouldn't be kneeling here."

"The Emperor's favor is vast and mighty!"

"You …"

"Calm your anger …"
