The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1153 Blue Ling Guards
De'an looked at Gu Chengyu's back as he turned and left, his eyes sparkled fiercely.

The assassination failed this time, and if he wanted to do it, he had to find another opportunity.If it wasn't for Gu Chengyu's sudden intervention, the prince would have already gone to hell, but now the opportunity is missed.

Gu Chengyu hurried back to the mansion in a carriage, and just entered the outer courtyard when Chen Guanshi and Ming Mo greeted him.

"You haven't come back, the old lady and the old man are very worried, and they haven't slept until now."

Gu Chengyu's body is now covered in blood, so in order to avoid worrying his parents, he can only wash up first.

He nodded, "Prepare for me. I'll wash up first, and then go to the main courtyard. The city is under martial law these days, and the guards in the mansion are asked to guard the gates. Just close the doors and thank guests. Those people have taken care of me. If anyone dares to leave the house at this time to cause trouble, you should lock him up first, and avoid this period of time."

"Brother Huifang, you are not allowed to marry during the national funeral. The time is one month. The marriage may have to be postponed, so I can only choose another auspicious day. I will be in the yamen during this period of time. I can't go back to the mansion. If you are undecided, you can go to the Yamen to find me. Those people, you can do what you want, so don't be soft."

Gu Chengyu had to explain the affairs of the mansion clearly. Without his instruction, Guanshi Chen is a slave, and it is really difficult to discipline the master of the mansion.

He was afraid that if he was not in the mansion, someone would make trouble.Anyway, if you cause trouble, you will be locked up, and you must not be soft.

The capital has been in chaos recently, and he can't be held back by the backyard.

"Yes!" The three looked extremely dignified, and quickly agreed.

With Ming Mo and Ming Yan around, Gu Chengyu can still feel at ease.

In the middle of the night, a dark shadow hovered over the roof.The man gently removed a tile from the roof, widened his eyes, and looked into the house.

After Gu Chengyu hurriedly washed up, he sat in front of the desk.Asking Mingmo to stay outside the study, Gu Chengyu took out the brocade box in the space.

He looked at the brocade box in front of him, hesitating to open it now.Just as he was about to open it, the person on the roof suddenly suffocated.

Suddenly, Gu Chengyu's ears moved.He casually took a pen from the pen holder, and then stabbed straight at the roof.

"Ah!" A person on the roof screamed, and then wanted to flee to the east.

Gu Chengyu quickly put the brocade box into the space, hooked up a sword on the wall, stepped on his feet, and flew towards the roof.

The roof tiles fell down, making a loud noise, especially harsh in this silent night, Ming Mo quickly chased after him with a sword in his hand.

Gu Chengyu caught up to the roof and saw a man in black jumping on the roof.

He snorted coldly, then raised his breath and chased after him.Within a few breaths, Gu Chengyu chased after this person.

The man in black felt the strong wind coming from behind, and he knew that today's battle could not be avoided.

Just now Gu Chengyu used a pen as a concealed weapon and used seven levels of skill. Seeing that this person resisted very slowly, he must have suffered an internal injury.

The corner of the man in black's mouth was already bloodshot. Gu Chengyu's blow just now caused him to suffer a lot of internal injuries. He did not expect Gu Chengyu's martial arts to be so powerful.

The two only fought for a few rounds, and the man in black was already at a disadvantage.Ming Mo caught up behind him and found that the two were fighting, so he immediately stepped forward to help.

With the addition of Ming Mo, the man in black had a harder time coping.

After a while, his body was covered with large and small wounds.

"Pfft!" The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell directly from the roof.

Ming Mo and Gu Chengyu flew down and saw this person lying motionless on the ground.

Ming Mo stepped forward cautiously, and drew a sword on the man's leg with his sword, and found that the man was motionless and unresponsive, so he felt a little relieved.

Kicking the knife beside this person away, Ming Mo stepped forward and took off the person's mask.

"My lord, he died, and committed suicide by taking poison again!"

Gu Chengyu nodded, he had already guessed the ending.With this person's martial arts background, I'm afraid he can't get any useful information.

"Search him to see if there's anything that might reveal his identity."

Gu Chengyu felt that this person's martial arts skills were different from those of the previous group, and he might not be the same person.

Ming Mo searched the person and found a small token.

"My lord, do you see?" Ming Mo handed over the token in his hand, and Gu Chengyu fixed his eyes, and then took it.

It was a black token with four big characters in the middle of the complicated pattern, which made Gu Chengyu frowned instantly.

Blue Ling Guards!

Gu Chengyu felt that it was a bit tricky. This was the personal token of the sixth-rank Lanling bodyguards, and it was a status symbol just like the tooth tags of their officials.

It is impossible for this kind of person to be a sixth-rank official without some background.If it was known that he had killed a Lanling guard, it would be a big deal.

But why did this person visit Gu's house at night?It could be said that this person has been following him, because he is afraid that it is the brocade box in his hand.

It is self-evident who is the person who sent this person, it must be the current empress.

It seems that the empress did not believe what he said in Guangning Palace today, at least half believed it.

"Deal with it quickly, without leaving any traces." Gu Chengyu immediately ordered.

He put the token in his arms, and then looked at the surrounding environment.

Ming Mo was picking up the corpse and was about to fly up to the roof, but he didn't want Gu Chengyu to move suddenly.

Holding the sword, Gu Chengyu kicked open a door.As soon as he rushed into the house, he saw a man sitting on the edge of the kang covering his mouth.

A sword lay across the man's neck, and the man was instantly terrified.

"Uncle, don't kill me! Don't kill me, I didn't see anything, I really didn't see anything."

The man sitting on the kang fell limply to the ground in an instant. He looked at Gu Chengyu in horror and kept begging for mercy.

Gu Chengyu snorted coldly, this person turned out to be Gu Wanjiang, Erlang from the Gu family.

Unexpectedly, when they chased, they came to the yard where Erlang was.This courtyard is in the southeast corner of Gu's residence, a bit remote.

Chen Guanshi deliberately arranged it in this remote courtyard, because he was afraid that Erlang would act as a demon.

Because Erlang's father-in-law's family lived in that house, and it was inappropriate to live under the same roof before they got married.Even if he didn't want to, he could only let Erlang live in the mansion.

Erlang was really frightened at this moment, he didn't expect Gu Chengyu to know martial arts.

He was about to get up at night just now, but he didn't want to hear the sound of weapons clashing outside.He was a little scared, so he opened the window a little and looked outside.

Several people hit and beat and hit the courtyard. He was terrified, afraid that these people would hurt innocent people, so he held back and did not dare to scream.

But the fighting stopped after a while, and then he suddenly heard the voices of Gu Chengyu and Ming Mo.

He is very familiar with Gu Chengyu's voice, there is absolutely no way he heard it wrong.
