Immediately, he cautiously came to the window, looked out, and then turned his head with a solemn expression: "Stop mentioning this matter!"
"Is it really..."
Seeing Changsun Wuji's demeanor, Changsun Chong was taken aback immediately, and then said quickly: "Father, don't worry, the child will never mention it again!"
At this moment, he couldn't help but set off a huge wave in his heart.
Originally, he was just guessing, but unexpectedly he guessed right.
This Li Xiao really has a problem with his background.
"Father, I'm going to find Zhu Zhuzhu."
Changsun Chong saw that Changsun Wuji was about to get angry, so he turned around and was about to leave.
"There's no need to look for it, he has more important things to do." Changsun Wuji said suddenly.
"More important things..."
Chang Sun Chong stopped in his tracks, his eyes thoughtful.
"That's all." Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong, and suddenly sighed, "The temple is deep and complicated, and sooner or later you will have to face it alone."
Changsun Chong didn't say a word, waiting for Changsun Wuji's next words.
"I also raised a group of people outside the city, and Zhu Zhuzhu went to find them." Changsun Wuji said slowly.
"Could it be..." Chang Sun Chong was stunned for a moment, then pondered, "Father wants to assassinate Li Xiao?"
"This method is indeed good. Anyway, those people are raised outside by father. Even if they are investigated afterwards, father will not be implicated."
"Stupid!" Changsun Wuji shook his head, "You have to learn one thing, everything is not solved by killing alone."
"What's more, if Li Xiao was so easy to kill, he would have died in the hands of Li Xiaogong long ago."
"Why are you so unwise?"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes.
"Then what does father want to do?" Chang Sun Chong looked puzzled.
Changsun Wuji sighed, and said slowly: "Now everyone in the court knows that there is a gap between me and Li Xiao. Li Xiao sent people to rob my eldest grandson's shop, and there is an IOU as an excuse, but there is no way to track down the burglary in the mansion. .”
"Isn't this obvious? It must have been done by someone sent by Li Xiao." Zhang Sun Chong blurted out with resentment on his face.
"Yes, everyone has guesses, but there is no real evidence, so what?"
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Since there is no evidence, why not create evidence yourself?"
"what?!"
Chang Sun Chong was stunned when he heard this.
"I am ordered by His Majesty to go to the south of the Yangtze River to build a righteous storehouse, and leave at noon tomorrow." Changsun Wuji said slowly.
"Father is ordered by the emperor to be an imperial envoy, what's wrong?"
"What if the imperial envoy is intercepted halfway?"
"Could it be..." Chang Sun Chong's eyes widened, his face full of shock, "Dad wants to send someone to assassinate him? Then put the blame on Li Xiao?"
After finishing speaking, he fell into deep thought, and murmured: "Yes, if this can be done, we can bring up the matter of the theft in the mansion before, and Li Xiao will definitely not be able to escape!"
"More than that." Changsun Wuji continued, "Liu Ruohan will also go together, and she will show up at that time."
"Liu Ruohan? That princess from Dongying?"
Chang Sun Chong was shocked.
Chapter 163: Invincible Cottage
Qinling, on a mountain path.
A carriage moved forward slowly.
The road gradually became rough, and the speed of the carriage became slower and slower.
In the end, two people got on and off the carriage.
It was Liu Ruohan and Zhu Zhuzhu.
"Miss Liu, the carriage is inconvenient, please follow me on foot!"
Zhu Zhuzhu looked at the woman with a hot figure in front of him, and there was a flash of heat in his eyes.
"How far is it?" Liu Ruohan asked expressionlessly.
"Not far, not far, two hours is enough."
"Then let's go!"
"Wait." Zhu Zhuzhu stopped Liu Ruohan and asked, "To ensure nothing goes wrong, let's clarify the matter first, so as not to make mistakes."
Hearing this, Liu Ruohan stopped, but didn't say a word, waiting for Zhu Zhuzhu's next words.
I only heard Zhu Zhuzhu say: "First of all, although these people are raised by adults outside the city, they never know who the master behind them is, and communication has always been evidenced by tokens."
"So, Miss Liu, you acted as the bodyguard of the Yue King Li Xiao this time, and you were ordered to assassinate the eldest grandson."
"Ah."
Liu Ruohan nodded lightly, cherishing words like gold.
"Also, this is only the first stage of the plan!" Zhu Zhuzhu continued, "After the assassination of the eldest grandson failed, you should take them to Lantian Villa to kill them on the grounds that the king of Yue was free from suspicion."
"Remember, in the two operations, you have to pretend to be careless and show your face, and you must leave this crossbow bolt behind."
Speaking of which, Zhu Zhuzhu took down some crossbow bolts from the carriage, and explained: "I got these from outside the Lantian Restaurant that day. After checking, they belong to Li Xiao alone."
"Li Xiao's people are not easy to mess with." Liu Ruohan frowned slightly.
"You don't need to attack the villa, you just need to kill a few tenant farmers on the outskirts, or a patrol team of more than a dozen people." Zhu Zhuzhu said.
"Do the people raised by your lord have this strength?" Liu Ruohan asked doubtfully.
She knew too well what kind of standard the guards around Li Xiao were.
Ordinary people are sent to die in the past.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuzhu immediately sneered and said, "Please put your doubts behind you."
"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this group of people came from a wrong path, my lord would have taken them under his command a long time ago."
"Let's not talk about the imperial army squad of dozens of people, even if the entire villa is mobilized, it's unknown who will win and who will lose!"
"Your lord has raised such a group of powerful fighters outside, I'm afraid the plot is not small, and now let me know like this, are you not afraid of my whistleblowing?"
Liu Ruohan had a serious expression on his face.
She is very clear that such secrets must not be passed on to the outside world.
She was worried that after the matter was accomplished, not only would Changsun Wuji not fulfill his promise, but he would kill her to silence her.
"Girl, just go and inform me, let's see if she can enter the capital alive?"
Zhu Zhuzhu said with a look of disdain: "And even if you go in, who can you turn to? Who will believe you?"
In fact, he still has something to say.
Even if someone is found to inform him, maybe that person is still the eldest grandson's secret game.
Changsun Wuji's power is all over the court, and even he, the captain of the personal guard, doesn't know how many dark games there are in the court.
"Understood, that's all I said, nothing else."
Liu Ruohan nodded, neither happy nor sad.
"Lead the way!"
"Ha ha."
Seeing Liu Ruohan like this, Zhu Zhuzhu couldn't help but said immediately: "I know you are worried about being caught by Li Xiao, after all you have a big grudge with him, but when you get to the camp and see the strength of those people, you will Don't worry about it."
"Ah."
Liu Ruohan nodded slightly, and said no more.
Then, Liu Ruohan and Zhu Zhuzhu walked all the way through the dense jungle, climbed over the rugged cliffs, and finally came to a low-lying place between two mountain ranges.
This is not a small basin.
Among them, there are mountains and water, dense green plants, singing birds and fragrant flowers, which is a rare paradise.
"It's in front."
Zhu Zhuzhu stopped and washed his face by the pool.
But when Liu Ruohan looked around, there was still a dense jungle in front of him, and there was nothing.
"It's really secretive. Even if you say it's right in front of you, I still can't see any traces of human activities here." She nodded, "However, once a fire is lit for cooking, the smoke will be exposed."
"Hey." Zhu Zhuzhu smiled evilly, "Then you will underestimate them. Since the establishment of this place, they have always lit fires and cooked at night, directly making enough food for the day."
"Be careful enough." Liu Ruohan muttered.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
In the surrounding jungle, a dozen big men in gray linen clothes suddenly sprang out.
"Who is it? Sign up!"
A loud shout came from the top of the two of them.
Liu Ruohan frowned, looked up, and saw several figures floating down from the sky.
The shining white sharp blades in the hands of these big men gave off a chill under the reflection of the sun.
Liu Ruohan immediately grabbed the hilt of his sword, but seeing that Zhu Zhuzhu beside him didn't show any signs of panic, he chose to stay still for the time being.
"Hey, Ms. Liu, the one in the sky is the leader of this group of people, flying in the sky and hiding in the ground, omnipotent, isn't her strength okay?"
Zhu Zhuzhu looked calm, and even had time to smile at Liu Ruohan.
Liu Ruohan didn't speak, and was always on guard.
Indeed, as Zhu Zhuzhu said, she could feel that these people were not good people, and perhaps their strength was even higher than hers.
"If you don't take the token, they will attack!" Liu Ruohan reminded with a frown.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuzhu was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise: "Didn't the token be given to you?"
"The money bag from before is here, take it out!"
Liu Ruohan was taken aback, and quickly took out a money bag from his waist, and threw it into the sky.
Sure enough, after seeing the money bag, several figures floating down from the sky immediately retracted their knives and landed on the ground beside them.
And the lead, a fat man, grabbed the money bag.
He had a beard and a fierce look on his face, but at this moment, he opened his money bag with excitement and took out a few ingots of silver.
Afterwards, he was as happy as a child, and put the silver treasure into his arms.
"There are special marks on the silver, I forgot to tell you about it before." Seeing Liu Ruohan's doubts, Zhu Zhuzhu explained from the side.
"My dear mother! You are finally here!"
The bearded man rushed over excitedly, stretched out his hands, and was about to hug Liu Ruohan.
"roll!"
Liu Ruohan's face turned cold, and he drew his sword directly.
Unexpectedly, this bearded man immediately fell to the ground and rolled around.
When he got up again, he stretched out his right hand eagerly: "Ten taels! Pay!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Ruohan was stunned, a little at a loss.
"His name is Gou Fugui, and he likes money the most in his life. He will do anything as long as he is given money, but if he is not given money, he will immediately turn his face." Zhu Zhuzhu explained to Liu Ruohan in a low voice.
After speaking, he took out a bag of silver and threw it to the big man, that is, Gou Fugui.
"Proud!"
Gou Fugui took the silver and asked expectantly: "Do you need to roll a few more times?"
