Princess, be nice

Chapter 2609
This momentum must have been too big, Gu Le'an was dumbfounded when he heard it.But looking at Xu Xiangyao's face in the blink of an eye, she said in her heart that something is not good, it's not a big trouble, the emperor ordered a strict investigation, right?
Didn't Xie Yuanmiao also say that the capital is under martial law?
She turned her eyes back to Xu Xiangyao, and saw Xu Xiangyao pouted, "Look at what I do, I don't have such great skills."

Gu Le'an became even more puzzled, "Grandma, tell me quickly, this is going to kill me."

Xu Xiangyao snorted before opening her mouth, "I took the horoscopes of elder brother Shizi and Qi Zhiyan and went to find a reclusive eminent monk. I didn't expect that the horoscopes of the two were really different, and then I spread the news."

"Who knows that next, several officials in the capital suddenly died suddenly for no reason, and many houses were flooded. At first, I only spread rumors in a small range, but when these things were superimposed, the emperor also paid attention to it. It was only after I asked the master to calculate it that I was able to confirm this matter."

"An official died suddenly?" Gu Le'an frowned, feeling that this matter was very strange.

"Don't interrupt," Xu Xiangyao muttered dissatisfiedly, and then continued: "The emperor seemed to be wavering, so he prepared a hunt, and asked all the unmarried princes and grandchildren to participate. I think it is to choose another one with relatives."

After Xu Xiangyao finished speaking in a hurry, Gu Le'an was still digesting slowly. After a few breaths, she said: "Why do I feel that someone is planning something behind this matter?"

Xu Xiangyao glared at her, "What about yourself?"

Gu Le'an ignored her interruption, "The previous rumors of the adults were just a few jealous people secretly playing tricks, but the sudden death of this official is really strange, it seems..." She paused when she said this.

Xu Xiangyao became curious, "What does it look like?"

Gu Le'an glanced at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It seems that someone doesn't want Da Qi to marry the Western Regions, but instead picks up big trouble?"

Xu Xiangyao understood, and rubbed her lips, "Recently, the capital is under martial law, and the household registration is checked door-to-door. I'm still surprised. Could it be that the emperor thinks so?"

Gu Le'an's eyes froze, no wonder Xie Yuanmiao repeatedly warned her not to go out, it turned out that he was catching spies all over the city.

He didn't explain it clearly to her, if she ran out after being playful for a while, wouldn't it mean that she would never return.

Her eyes suddenly fell on Yongfeng, and she saw that Yongfeng still had a poker face, and she didn't even have a question when she saw her looking at her, obviously she knew why she was looking at her.

It turned out that he was hiding it from her, so we should treat her as an outsider.

Gu Le'an automatically ignored Xiaoyu's questioning eyes, Xiaoyu didn't count, she was dumb, if Xie Yuanmiao ordered, Xiaoyu couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

"Then, let's blow up the matter between the princess of the Western Regions and your lord?" Even if there was such a big quarrel, the emperor wouldn't bite the bullet and let the two get married, right?

Xu Xiangyao was taken aback by the word blowing, the corner of her mouth twitched, and said: "It should be blowing."

"I heard that the envoys from the Western Regions have sent people back to the country to inquire. I think the news is still on the way." Xu Xiangyao was amused, and then a little unhappy, "But Qi Zhiyan didn't seem to want to give up. He went to the mansion several times to find Brother Shizi, brother Shizi thought she was annoying, so they were forced to live in the Ministry of War in the end."

So she couldn't catch anyone, so she came here to block people?Gu Le'an understood a little, "Then how did you find this place?"

Xie Yuanmiao should be very cautious in doing things, right?
Xu Xiangyao was very proud, "I couldn't find you at the mansion, so I knew that Brother Shizi hid you, so I secretly put some chasing soul incense in Juechen's saddle. No, it was the one who found it." You." She took out a small gecko from her purse.

Seeing her touching like a baby, Gu Le'an rubbed his arms with a little chill, "Take it a little farther away, isn't it disgusting?"

Where did Xu Xiangyao know how to listen, she looked down at Gu Le'an's eyes. When she touched the greasy skin, Gu Le'an felt bad all over, and stood up immediately.

At this time, with a whoosh, a piercing sound exploded in Gu Le'an's ears, with a chill, an arrow feather almost passed against the skin of Gu Le'an's back.

This scene happened so suddenly, the cold touch of the arrow was still on his body, and murderous intent was everywhere in the courtyard.

Gu Le'an broke out in a cold sweat. She looked at the arrow that fell on the ground in panic. If she hadn't stood up suddenly just now, she must have died under the arrow at this moment, right?

Xu Xiangyao was also frightened, and quickly came to Gu Le'an's side, sipping, "Which villain shot the arrow?"

While speaking, several people in Tsing Yi poured into the small courtyard from all directions. Gu Le'an recognized the leader, which frightened Xu Xiangyao. She told her in a low voice, "These are my own people."

The man first made sure that she was fine, then turned his back and formed a vertical posture to surround them in the middle.

The courtyard fell into a dead silence. After waiting for a few breaths, the assassin still did not appear.

The leader looked solemn, turned his back to Gu Le'an and said: "I have sent someone to deliver a letter to your lord, and the reinforcements will arrive in a while."

It is not easy to see the signal during the day, and his eyes are still fixed on the surroundings. Gu Le'an pondered for a while and said: "Please send someone to send Miss Xu out."

Xu Xiangyao looked unhappy, "Why, you want to drive me away again?"

"Be obedient, you go first, these people are coming after me." Gu Le'an was afraid that she would lose her temper again, so she could only persuade her in a low voice.

The leader hesitated, "The situation is unclear, and there are closed courtyards all around. I don't know how many assassins are hiding, and I don't know where they are hiding. It's better not to disperse them, so as not to be ambushed by the enemy and take them as hostages." Oh no."

What is in front of me is a series of small courtyards, which are indeed no easier to move than the open mountainside, so Gu Le'an stopped talking, "Do you know where the assassin is hiding?"

After waiting for so long, but there was no movement, Gu Le'an couldn't help feeling a little restless.It stands to reason that if a hit is missed, it should be a rain of arrows. How can there be no movement after one arrow is fired, can't just an assassin come?

The leader seemed strange, "Chengde, go and check." He pointed his knife at the distance in the direction of Gu Le'an.

Chengde flew away, and returned after a while with a puzzled expression on his face. He shook his head, "There's no one there."

Gu Le'an and Xu Xiangyao looked at each other and shook their heads to express their inability to guess.

The leader was silent for a moment, as if afraid of being diverted away from the mountain, he didn't dare to send someone to look around, "Form a team and follow me."

The people in Tsing Yi gathered into a tighter circle, leading the four of Gu Le'an to a place with a wider view.

Gu Le'an also looked around on the roofs, but found no one hiding.

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, all with inexplicable faces.

Could it be that the other party left after firing the sniper arrow?
