Book with Emperor

Chapter 272 Showdown
The identity of the assassin was found out before his death. The man was named Sun Qi, a logistics soldier who had served in the army for three years. The evaluations are not good, most of them are bad tempered and dishonest.

In addition, another soldier said that he had seen this Sun Qi and Wei Dutong meet in private.

At this point, the matter has become clear, the few secret works that Yue Wentian led Jun into the urn to remove are just pawns, and the real behind-the-scenes mastermind is Wei Tang.

Wei Tang was arrested overnight, when Cheng Jingyu told Qin Guanyue the ins and outs of the matter, Qin Guanyue was not surprised because he had already guessed in his heart, so he just nodded and asked about Yue Wentian's situation.

Cheng Jingyu said casually, "Young Master, he's fine, just asleep."

Unexpectedly, Qin Guanyue asked again, "Didn't Miracle Doctor Qu say that he would wake up when the fever subsides? Why are you still asleep?"

"Ah... this..." He stammered, and said hastily, "Actually, I woke up just now, but I stopped after drinking the medicine."

Qin Guanyue looked into his eyes, "How should Wei Tang deal with it?"

"Put it in prison first, and wait for the young master to decide how to deal with it."

After Cheng Jingyu finished speaking, he left, Qin Guanyue looked at his back and fell into deep thought.

Yi Yuanzhou asked, "Sleepy?"

Qin Guanyue shook her head, fixed her eyes on a certain point in the tent, and suddenly asked, "Has Xiao Sheng not replied yet?"

"No." Yi Yuanzhou frowned slightly, as if he was also thinking about the reason, "Gong Yue's hiding place is not easy to find."

"His hiding place is indeed difficult to find, but as long as he knows that I am not dead, he will take the initiative to come out to find me." Qin Guanyue's eyes were deep, "I not only took all the glittering gold weapons with me when I left the capital, but also gave it to me." He and Ning Zhao kept a lot of good things."

Yi Yuanzhou doesn't know what a good thing is, and he doesn't care, he only cares about what to do next, "How long are we going to stay with Yue Wentian?"

The plan that Qin Guanyue told them earlier was that the imperial court was looking for them. Looking at the whole Daxi, only the places occupied by Yongzhou forces are the safest, but obviously it is not very safe now.

"The one surnamed Wen is not simple." He paused and continued, "There is also the one surnamed Han, he is hostile to you."

Qin Guanyue was slightly taken aback, "You mean Han Zhengwei?"

"Yeah." Yi Yuanzhou crossed his arms, lowered his eyes, and said lightly, "When he looked at you, he was suppressing his emotions, very intense emotions. Although he tried his best to conceal it, he couldn't hide it from me."

The first lesson of becoming a killer is to pretend, so he can tell at a glance that the other party is deliberately hiding their emotions.

Qin Guanyue didn't speak, she was most concerned about the assassin incident tonight, Cheng Jingyu's reaction was a little too flat.

And that risky plan to lure you into the urn...

She was in a daze, when she suddenly heard a chaotic noise outside, Yi Yuanzhou glanced at her, and took the two knives in his sleeves to go out of the tent to check.

He didn't leave for a long time, Cheng Jingyu suddenly opened the curtain and walked in, with a nervous expression, "Miss Mingyue, the enemy attacked suddenly, the young master ordered me to protect you and return to Yicheng!"

Qin Guanyue was startled, she didn't expect that the news of Weitang's exposure would be known by the court so quickly.

She hurriedly said, "My maid just went out!"

"I've already sent someone to find her. Let's go first, and they will follow later."

Cheng Jingyu quickly put on the white fox fur for her, and hurriedly pulled her out of the tent.

The sky outside was not fully lit, only a little sunlight in the sky, and the soldiers shuttled back and forth all looked serious, not daring to slack off at all, Qin Guanyue didn't even have time to take a closer look, and was pulled by Cheng Jingyu to the back of the tent, where a carriage was parked , and several guards dressed as Jianghu.

Qin Guanyue glanced at the carriage, and suddenly stopped in her footsteps.

Cheng Jingyu urged behind him, "Girl please get on the carriage!"

"I left something behind." Before he could speak, Qin Guanyue immediately raised her left hand, "It's a ring, a token of love with your young master."

Cheng Jingyu hesitated to speak, but finally agreed.

"Under the pillow? But there's something else—"

As soon as he entered the tent, Cheng Jingyu was pressed against the back of his heart by a dagger.His heart skipped a beat and he froze in place.

"This dagger is so sharp that even a five-year-old child can use it to pierce a person's heart." Qin Guanyue stood behind him and spoke softly.

Cheng Jingyu asked in surprise, "What is Miss Mingyue doing!"

"Who asked you to come?"

"..."

"Where are you taking me?"

"..."

"Where is my maid?"

"..."

Cheng Jingyu didn't break a sweat after being pressed by the knife, but was shocked by this series of questioning, "Miss Mingyue, calm down—"

Yi Yuanzhou's transfer made Qin Guanyue uneasy, her eyes turned cold, and she stabbed forward with the hand holding the dagger.

Suddenly, someone behind her held her hand. It wasn't heavy. The broad hand almost covered her hand, and there was a familiar copper ring on the ring finger.

Qin Guanyue froze there

Cheng Jingyu didn't look surprised at all, bowed behind her and left the tent.

There were only two people left in the tent, and the person behind her gently took the dagger from her hand, and walked up to her from behind.

Yue Wentian stood there with his back to the light, with an indifferent but calm expression, looking down at the dagger in his hand.

"I asked him to send you away." He said slowly, playing with the dagger between his fingers, his movements were casual but full of strength, as if he could control everything.

"Weitang's identity has been exposed, and the court will take action soon. The army is not safe. Cheng Jingyu will send you to a safe place, and there will be someone to protect you."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Qin Guanyue turned around and called him, "My maid—"

Yue Wentian paused, and suddenly called her name, "Qin Guanyue."

Qin Guanyue's heart choked.

"I can pretend that you really have amnesia, that you are the bright moon who has forgotten everything, but it doesn't mean that you can play tricks in the dark and betray me again and again."

He slowly turned around to look at her, that handsome and sharp face similar to Yue Qingli's Qi Fen, his narrow eyes without any emotion.

He raised his right hand, which was a slender bamboo tube thick as a little finger, engraved with a very familiar pattern of feathers.

That was the bamboo tube of Zhanyu Pavilion, and it was also the secret letter to Xiao Sheng three days ago.

Qin Guanyue's pupils shrank.

"I'm curious about what news you got that would allow you to take the initiative to negotiate with Shang Gongyue."

The coolness in his eyes was even worse, and he said slowly, "Is it the marching route of the Lie Yan Army and the Sheyu reinforcements?"

Qin Guanyue was speechless. The three secret letters sent by Xiao Sheng and the letter sent by himself were put together. Anyone would make such a guess.

Under this premise, any of her defenses seemed weak and embarrassing.And the saddest thing is that they no longer trust each other.

Obviously not long ago, they had made an intimate agreement to spend the rest of their lives together, but now they can plot against each other like enemies and stand on opposite sides.The intimacy that was disguised in Yicheng was bloodily revealed at this moment, revealing the real embarrassment between them.

Qin Guanyue didn't know how long she had been silent, and then she opened her lips and said softly, "That's why you accompanied me in that amnesia scene and deliberately kept me by your side."

"..."

Yue Wentian's fingertips trembled slightly, seeing the pale face of the person in front of him, his throat moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything.

It was already bright outside, and it was getting warmer in the tent, but Qin Guanyue felt that it was getting colder, her whole body seemed to be frozen, and even her bones were aching.

"I never wanted to hurt anyone in the past, but I have people to protect."

She lowered her eyes slightly, her voice trembling, "You can hate me, even kill me, but you can't hurt anyone around me."

Yue Wentian's breathing became stagnant, and it was the first time in his life that he knew what it means to be heartbroken.

He closed his eyes, hiding the unwillingness and anger in his eyes, and said slowly, "In your heart, no one is more important than me."

Yue Wentian's words pierced Qin Guanyue's heart like a knife, and she immediately realized that her words had hurt the other party.She opened her mouth to explain, but Yue Wentian didn't want to hear any more, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Qin Guanyue panicked, and immediately reached out to grab his sleeve, but suddenly her eyes flickered, and the world in front of her eyes suddenly went dark.

"cross--"

She opened her mouth with difficulty, but slowly lost consciousness.
