Chapter 390. Chapter 390.
The night was dark and full of stars.

Duanmuchen didn't know that Gu Ling had been guarding him for two nights, and when he heard the sound of fighting outside, he immediately got up and took Chang An to hide in the secret room of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Gu Hou really hit the nail on the head, there are assassins." Chang An pricked up his ears, but the walls of the secret room were very thick, so he couldn't hear the movement outside.

Duanmu Chen sat down, his eyes were deep, "It should be Situ Xie's man. The war is about to start, and he wants to kill me."

Gu Ling who was outside at this time did not show up.He hid himself on a tall ancient cypress, held his breath, and quietly observed the assassin.

Only two appeared at first, but were blocked by four hidden guards.Gu Ling knew that the hidden guards were the one trained by Duanmu Yi.

The assassin is very strong, and the dark guard is not weak, but the latter can hardly stop the assassin two-on-one.

Soon, two hidden guards appeared to support them.This should be Duanmuchen's strategy, and he can't reveal all his cards at once.

As a result, the assassin also added one.Obviously, this assassination plan is well-planned and it is inevitable.

The assassins were all dressed in night clothes and identical iron masks. Their figures seemed to be integrated with the night. From a distance, at first glance, it looked like three masks were floating in different positions.

Gu Ling quickly judged that the three assassins were all of the "old monster" type, and each of them was stronger than Lao Mu, comparable to Lao Bai.

In this way, Gu Ling suspects that these three people may not necessarily belong to Situ Xie, but more likely come from that mysterious force.

Then, whether it is Situ Xie who wants to kill Duanmu Chen, or the mysterious force who wants to kill Duanmu Chen, there is a question mark.

Another wave of Duanmuchen's hidden guards came out, and with the previous ones, there were ten in total. They were divided into groups of three, three, four, and three to deal with the three assassins.

In about half an hour, the imperial army gathered around Duanmuchen's bedroom, and the archers at the front were in place, but the more than a dozen people in the battle were all masters, their speed was extremely fast, and their positions were constantly changing, so it was difficult for the archers. Target the assassin.

Looking at the three iron masks floating in sight, Gu Ling thought of the gray-clothed old man who came to the capital to investigate him and Su Liang last year. When they fought, the opponent used a hidden weapon like a grenade.

This made Gu Ling a little worried at the moment, if these three highly skilled assassins were with the gray-clothed old man, and it was inevitable to kill Duanmu Chen, would they go straight to Duanmuchen's bedroom? Throw a grenade?

But if this is the case, you should throw the big killer right away, so that you don't have to fight... Gu Ling thinks that you can wait and see for a while to see if there are still assassins who haven't shown up.

Duanmuchen's dark guards were injured one after another, ten against three, still no advantage.

After the dark guards injured four of them, Gu Ling saw another iron mask flashing from the shadows and rushing towards Duanmu Chen's bedroom.

It seems that the gang of assassins is also testing how many secret guards Duanmuchen has.There are almost so many in the palace now.

Gu Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her right arm, held a self-made nail gun in her hand, aimed at the "iron mask" who was about to enter Duanmu Chen's palace, moved the position down, and pulled the trigger!
The iron nails were not as conspicuous as the polished and smooth iron mask. They passed through the gap between the fighting masters at an extremely fast speed and disappeared from Gu Ling's sight.

The iron mask swayed, fell, and collided with the ground... Gu Ling smeared a poison on the nail that could numb the whole body, even if he missed it, as long as he entered the body, he could quickly knock down the enemy.

The three assassins who were attracting firepower saw their accomplice fell, and finally noticed the tree where Gu Ling was hiding.

One of the assassins rushed out of the encirclement and flew towards Gu Bai.

And this finally gave Lin Bojun, who was transferred to the palace yesterday to be on duty, a chance to immediately give the order to release the arrow!
The densely packed arrows were all aimed at the assassin near Gu Bai. No matter how strong he was, he had no choice but to block it with his sword.

And Gu Ling's nail gun moved with the assassin, and finally aimed at his right arm holding the sword, and fired again!
Four assassins, two fell.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other two assassins planned to retreat.

Gu Ling shot one with a nail gun and let the other one go on purpose.

Lin Bojun ordered another wave of arrows to be released, but did not stop the fleeing assassin.

Gu Bai shook slightly, Lin Bojun didn't see Gu Ling, but he guessed it.It seemed that the assassination was over, but just in case, the Forbidden Army did not retreat, but only invited the imperial physician to treat the injured hidden guard.

Lin Bojun reported the situation at the door of Duanmuchen's bedroom. Duanmuchen heard it and asked Chang'an to go out to have a look, but he was still hiding inside.

Soon, after confirming the situation outside, Changan went back and informed Duanmuchen.

"The three assassins were all brought down by hidden weapons, and my subordinates guessed that they might be Chang Xinhou." Chang An said.

Duanmu Chen was stunned for a moment, "Gu Ling is here? Is he here to protect me?"

"This subordinate is just guessing. An assassin has escaped. If it is really Chang Xinhou, he must have gone after the assassin." Chang An said.

Duanmuchen nodded, "I also think it should be him." Thinking of Gu Ling's presence, he instantly felt relieved.Judging from the fact that even ten hidden guards could not stop the four assassins tonight, if Gu Ling is not around, Duanmu Chen's safety is really hard to say.

The royal family is very cautious in recruiting experts from the outside, for fear of attracting wolves into the house, especially those who want to be around.The higher the martial arts, the more you must guarantee absolute loyalty, otherwise you dare not use it at all.

Therefore, most of the masters who serve the royal family are trained by the royal family, and their net worth is clean and transparent.But this also leads to the restriction of the strength of the dark guard.

The real top masters must have both talent and strength, and most of them are old people. Only the accumulation of life can become the existence that crushes the younger generation.

It is very rare for Gu Ling to be so young with superb martial arts skills.

Duanmuchen planned to wait for Gu Ling to come back before he came out of the secret room.He cherishes his life and is always cautious, but if Gu Ling hadn't reminded him this time, he wouldn't have made such a careful arrangement.But the frightening thing was that even though he had made the most careful arrangements, it seemed that he couldn't stop those assassins at all. Fortunately, Gu Ling was still there.

Lin Bojun dragged the three wounded and unconscious assassins together, and did nothing else, just guarding outside the bedroom.

……

Not long after Gu Ling chased the assassin out of the palace, another man in the iron mask appeared.

Just when Gu Ling thought it was going to be a one-on-two, a puff of thick smoke filled the air, and he had to avoid it to prevent it from being poisonous.

But after a while, the thick smoke was blown away by the night wind, and the traces of the two men in iron masks disappeared completely.

When Gu Ling turned back to the palace, Lin Bojun saw him take off his mask with a clear expression, "I guess it's you!"

Chang'an told Duanmuchen that Guling is back.

Duanmuchen came out of the secret room immediately, and the lamps in the bedroom were lit again soon.

Gu Ling went in, and Lin Bojun had someone drag the assassin in too.

As soon as Duanmu Chen saw Gu Ling, he asked, "You have been guarding outside to protect me? Were you there last night?"

Gu Ling looked calm, "I'm here to protect Chang'an."

Chang An was coming in with hot tea, when he heard this he staggered and almost fell, "Chang Xinhou is really joking."

Duanmu Chen snorted, "You clearly care about my safety."

Gu Ling had already leaned over to check on the three assassins, but ignored Duanmu Chen's words.

Lin Bojun: ... somehow felt that Duanmuchen's expression and tone just now looked a bit like Lin Qian...

After taking off the iron mask, the age of the assassins was as Gu Ling expected, they were all old men.The three assassins didn't carry any special items on their bodies, and they didn't have tattoos or anything like that.The clothes are the same, the masks are the same, and the weapons are different, but there is no particularly famous and dedicated weapon.

"Is it from Situ Xie?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Gu Ling shook her head, "I don't know."

Gu Ling transferred the assassin to the side hall, saying that he would interrogate alone, but Duanmu Chen let him do whatever he wanted.

"Does the emperor want to rest?" Chang An asked.

Duanmu Chen yawned, but shook his head, "Wait and see what Gu Ling can ask."

……

In the side hall, Gu Ling chose an assassin, tied him up first, and stuffed it with the antidote.

Not long after, the assassin woke up faintly and looked at Gu Ling.

"Who sent you here?" Gu Ling asked.

The assassin's eyes became clear, and then his seven orifices bled to death!

Gu Ling stared, opened the mouths of the other two assassins, and found poison pills hidden in the deepest part of the left lower teeth.The one who committed suicide by taking poison just now must have bitten through the shell of the poison pill.

Gu Ling did not expect that an assassin with superb martial arts would be like a dead man. In order not to leak the secret, he would rather commit suicide.

Gu Ling put away the poison pill, planning to take it home and then study with Su Liang what kind of poison it is.

Then, he awakened a second assassin.

Gu Ling saw the assassin gnashing his teeth after waking up, and then his expression suddenly changed.

"Your poison is in my hands." Gu Ling remained expressionless, "As long as you tell me the truth, I can let you live."

As a result, Gu Ling watched the second assassin bite his tongue decisively and committed suicide.

After a while, two of the three assassins died, Gu Ling did not wake up the last one, but dragged him out of the side hall.

"How?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Gu Ling shook her head, "They are all dead men, so I can't ask anything."

Duanmu Chen frowned, "It's actually a dead man."

"I'll take this back and let Su Liang figure out a way." Gu Ling walked out as she spoke.

Duanmuchen said hastily, "It's not yet dawn, what if the assassin shoots back with his carbine?"

Gu Ling looked back at Duanmu Chen, her eyes fell on the position between his eyebrows, she quickly moved away, and said calmly, "Your Majesty is blessed with great fate, nothing will happen."

Duanmu Chen was speechless, and saw Gu Ling's figure disappearing at the door.

……

Su Liang was woken up by her daughter. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Ling hugging Gu Xiaonuan and coaxing her.

Su Liang looked at the window, it was still dark outside, "The assassin is here? Has it been resolved?"

Gu Ling nodded, "It's here. Let's talk at dawn, you can go to sleep."

Su Liang sat up, "We're all awake, we'll sleep together later. How's the situation?"

Gu Ling gently shook Gu Xiaonuan, coaxed her to sleep, and whispered to Su Liang what happened in the palace tonight.

"Four old guys, one ran away, two committed suicide?" Su Liang was also surprised, "Why didn't the one who put the poisonous smoke in the end didn't take action against you?"

In terms of the overall strength of the assassins tonight, it is not impossible to fight Gu Ling two-on-one.Of course, the influence of hidden weapons and poisons must be set aside.

"Maybe their mission target is only Duanmu Chen, and they don't want to make trouble. Or maybe it's that group of people." Gu Ling said.It refers to the group of people who "someone wants Gu Ling to live".

"Duanmu Chen's crisis is over?" Su Liang asked.The assassination failed tonight, if Duanmu Chen's life is still in danger in the next three days, Gu Ling should be able to see it.

Gu Ling nodded, "It's fine for now."

"It seems that the other party's people in the city may only be those two left, and they won't make a move easily. After all, such a master is not a Chinese cabbage, so there are so many." Su Liang sighed slightly, "You bring that back, once you wake up, I will definitely try my best to commit suicide. Unfortunately, the "emperor's heart medicine" mentioned earlier cannot be produced."

Earlier, Duanmuchen wanted to test Situ Yao, but Gu Ling gave him a kind of "emperor's heart medicine", which was just a cover, a psychological tactic.

Su Liang asked Lao Bai if there is a drug that can control people's hearts, Lao Bai said there might be, but he doesn't know, I hope Su Liang can research it soon...

"Let's keep it for now." Gu Ling said.

Gu Xiaonuan refused to sleep no matter how much she coaxed her, she babbled and pointed outside.

Gu Ling and Su Liang simply took their precious daughter to the garden together.Lao Mu, who was sleeping in the study, heard the movement and confirmed that it was Gu Ling who had returned, so he ignored it.

At the darkest hour before dawn, the stars are still twinkling in the sky, and the wind is cool.

Gu Xiaonuan thought about it, but she was sleepy again when she was outside, and fell asleep in Gu Ling's arms.

Gu Ling and Su Liang walked slowly around the lake without saying a word, each thinking about the problems they encountered at the moment.

At dawn, the family of three went back to Yuanming Pavilion.

……

Ji Xiaoshu and Zheng'er got up early and went downstairs quietly, fearing to disturb Gu Ling and Su Liang.

After a long while, Gu Ling and Su Liang got up, washed up and had breakfast. Chang An came and asked if there was anything wrong with the victim Gu Ling brought back last night.

Gu Ling shook her head, "No."

Changan suddenly didn't know what to say, waved at Gu Xiaonuan, and planned to leave and go back to the palace, when he walked to the door, he remembered something, turned back and asked, "The emperor asked his subordinates to ask, Gu Hou is still entering the palace tonight Is it? If we go again, the emperor will prepare food and wine to play chess with Gu Hou."

Gu Ling shook her head, "No."

Chang'an: ...All right.Anyway, after what happened last night, Duanmuchen is very convinced that Gu Ling is his good friend and cares about his safety very much.

Just after Chang'an left, old doctor Gao arrived.It's better to ask Gu Ling to go to Min's house together, and he will continue to give Min Rui needles for half a month.

After Gu Ling left, Su Liang took out the two poison pills he brought back last night and began to study their ingredients.As for Gu Xiaonuan, she was taken on a lake tour by Cen Man and had a great time. Su Liang sat by the window and could see her when she looked up.

Min Shangshu Mansion.

When Gu Ling saw Min Rui, Mrs. Min was not there, and Min Rou was taking care of him.

Min Rou asked Gu Ling a question seriously, "Did Chang Xinhou's medical skills be taught by Su's medical skills, or is it the other way around? Or, are you all divine doctors?"

Gu Ling looked indifferent, "It has nothing to do with you."

Min Rou's face froze, and she went out silently, not noticing the airplane pattern on Gu Ling's waist pouch.

Outside the door, Min Rou muttered, "It's just curiosity, it's so fierce..."

Gu Ling left after administering the needles to Min Rui. When he left the yard, he saw Mrs. Min walking towards her.

Leaving Shangshu's mansion, Gu Ling told old doctor Gao that he was going to visit Mr. Qin at the Duke's mansion, and they left.

Gu Ling did enter the Duke's Mansion, but when Mr. Qin got the news, he waited and waited and saw him. The servants said that Gu Ling had something to do and left again, and he didn't go through the gate.Both Gu Ling and Su Liang are special guests of Duke Qin's mansion, they can do whatever they want when they come.

Mr. Qin was a little puzzled, "I'm still waiting for him to come and fish together, I'll go by myself in the afternoon!"

At this time, Gu Ling had secretly returned to Min Shangshu's mansion, avoiding the sight of the servants, and quietly approached Min Rui's room.

His hearing is excellent, another person might not be able to hear the whispered voices of the people in the room, but he heard it.

"The one surnamed Qin likes fishing... When he is fishing by the water, I will lure the servants away and push him into the lake... It will only be regarded as an accident, without anyone noticing..."
