When I woke up, my whole family was in rebellion!

Chapter 21 Beauty or Profit, The Third Prince's Choice

Just in case, Gu Xingzhi's people had already been arranged in place.

He didn't want to be involved in the struggle between the crown prince and the second prince, so he planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then come out to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Eunuch Liu has already arranged manpower, if the second prince's assassination is successful, then no matter how clean they are, they will show their "false feet".

And if the second prince's assassination fails, he also has a way to let the prince find out who is responsible for all this.

When two tigers fight, one will be injured.Gu Xingzhi is sure of winning, he just needs to keep an eye on all this in secret.He doesn't even need to show up to get the most benefit in this struggle.

However, Xie Lingyun was an accident.

The archers are ready, and Gu Xingzhi is condescending, keeping their movements under control.Those sharp arrows all pointed at the prince, and Xie Lingyun followed closely behind, unable to get away at all!
Eunuch Liu looked at Gu Xingzhi nervously, not daring to act rashly.Now they occupy the most advantageous position, they can get out easily, and they can also join quietly.

Everything depends on how Gu Xingzhi makes his choice!
Xie Lingyun was lying on the horse's back, shaking so hard that she was about to vomit.But she didn't dare to let go of the rein in her hand, and she didn't dare to move around. She could only hug the horse's neck, trying to wait for the horse to stop by itself.

But it seemed that God was not on her side this time, Xie Lingyun only felt the horse suddenly rush down, and then the whole person was thrown off the horse!
Gu Yansheng and Xie Lingyun's horses stepped into a mud pit, and their front hooves sank into it.The two were thrown out due to inertia and fell to the ground.

This change obviously caught the Second Prince's people by surprise. The grass here was very deep, and when the two of them fell into it, they couldn't even see their shadows.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the leader made a gesture, and saw a group of people carrying swords suddenly emerge from behind the archers, obviously planning to move quietly.

Xie Lingyun clutched her feet, scratching her lungs in pain.Her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she was sobbing softly, and she didn't notice the danger approaching at all.

Gu Yansheng fell a little farther than her, but it seemed that he was seriously injured.He was lying on the ground, and after moving a few times, there was no sound, and he didn't know if he passed out.

"Brother Prince?"

At this time, Xie Lingyun still remembers to build a good impression in front of Gu Yansheng.She thought, although she couldn't move, the prince's people should be here later, so she couldn't ignore Gu Yansheng.

"Brother Prince, are you okay?" Xie Lingyun's own feet were already swollen, but she still cared for Gu Yansheng with words, "Du Er will be here soon, Brother Prince, you have to hold on!"

Although she fell off the horse, Xie Lingyun's heart was not as nervous as before.

After all, a crazy horse is hard to tame, who knows where it will take me.Although she dropped her foot, it finally landed on the ground. She just needs to wait here for Du Er.

Some faint sounds came from the grass, and Xie Lingyun's heart that had just been let go instantly lifted up!

She sat on the ground, the weeds covered her body, and when she looked up, she could only see the tips of the grass.This rustling sound, like something rubbing against the grass, is crawling towards her——

Could it be a snake? !

Xie Lingyun is not afraid of heaven and earth, but only for people!She has been afraid of insects and snakes since she was a child, and she cleaned Duke Huai's mansion carefully on weekdays, never daring to let these things appear in front of her.

But now it's in the wilderness, if there is no [-], there is an eventuality!
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt, and her heart beat violently. In the silent woods, she seemed to be able to hear her own violent heartbeat.

dong dong!

dong dong!

Boom!
"Ah! Help! Don't come here!"

Feeling something sticking to her feet, Xie Lingyun struggled violently, like a loach in the field, jumping around.

At the same time, the killer arranged by the second prince also showed signs, and rushed towards this side quickly. After discovering the traces of Gu Yansheng and Xie Lingyun, he raised his sword and killed them!

"do not move."

The deep voice carried a trace of long-lost familiarity. Xie Lingyun closed her eyes tightly just now, but at this moment she quietly opened it, only to find that she was hugged by a man in black with a veil.

This person's eyebrows are so recognizable, even though his whole body is wrapped up, Xie Lingyun can still spot it at a glance——

"Gu..."

As soon as she said a word, she subconsciously covered her mouth. At this time, Gu Yansheng's side, the two groups of men in black had already started fighting, and blood was dripping amidst the shadows of swords and swords.

Gu Xingzhi knew that she recognized her, but this was not the time to speak.He hugged the person, and under the cover of the hidden guards, he walked down another path.

When Du Er arrived, he only saw Gu Yansheng lying on the ground dying, and corpses scattered around him.

He stepped forward to check and lifted the veils of those men in black, and found that they were all very unfamiliar, not like people from Yanjing.After groping around, I found the token of the Second Prince's Mansion on one of them.

At this time, Xie Lingyun didn't know that there would be a bloody storm in Yanjing City.She was embraced by Gu Xingzhi, turned left and right along the path, and left the Beast Forest directly.

"Your Highness, the princess just sprained her foot and suffered some skin trauma, and it's not a serious problem." The imperial physician prescribed some externally applied medicine to let Xie Lingyun take a good rest.It will be back to normal in less than a month.

"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. If something happens to the Princess, I'm afraid our Highness won't be able to rest assured." Eunuch Liu said beamingly beside him, his face wrinkled with laughter.

Xie Lingyun didn't understand, but Gu Xingzhi next to him coughed lightly, "Go down first."

Eunuch Liu nodded with a smile, and gave Xie Lingyun a few pointed glances, which gave her goosebumps all over, not knowing what Eunuch Liu meant.

And after everyone else left, only she and Gu Xingzhi were left in the room.Xie Lingyun was inexplicably embarrassed, thought for a while, and asked, "Why were you there just now?"

Moreover, it was still dressed as a man in black, which was really puzzling.

"happen."

Gu Xingzhi threw out two words calmly, but no matter how stupid Xie Lingyun was, she would not be stupid enough to believe it, "Do you think I will believe it?"

She pointed to the face towel that Gu Xingzhi threw aside, "You dressed up like this, and you just rushed out to save me. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

Although she was surprised at the time, she also found out that someone wanted to kill her and Gu Yansheng.If Gu Xingzhi hadn't rushed out with people, I'm afraid she and Gu Yansheng would have died at the hands of those men in black.

After thinking about it, Xie Lingyun always felt that this matter was not so simple, "Did the second prince do it?"
