First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 789 Yan Baobao shows off his power (first update)

Gu Xiaoshun sat up.

His movements are fast, but not heavy, and almost silent.

 He winked at Gu Yan, "I'll go take a look. You wait for me here."

In fact, in terms of age, Gu Xiaoshun is one year younger than Gu Yan, but Gu Yan has always been the sickly one, and Gu Xiaoshun is used to protecting him.

Gu Yan shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to look at it and went directly to wake up his wife and the others.

good.

 Gu Xiaoshun replied in his heart, and went directly to Nan Shi Niang and Master Lu's house barefoot without wearing any shoes.

When he passed through the main room, he clearly felt the movement of the other party prying open the door. However, Master Lu was the most skilled craftsman in Zhao State, and the door latch he had modified was not so easy to pry open.

Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that when they get tired of prying, they can use hard force, for example, kick them away.

 Gu Xiaoshun had to hurry up.

 He shook Nan Shi Niang awake.

 Senior Nan was startled when she was woken up in the middle of the night. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Gu Xiaoshun covering her mouth.

 This action was learned from Gu Yan.

 It’s very practical.

Mr. Nan is a person who has experienced many battles. Gu Xiaoshun came to wake her up in the middle of the night and covered her mouth to prevent her from talking. She only blinked and realized something was going on.

 She kicked Master Lu awake beside her.

 “What’s wrong?” Master Lu asked confused.

Mrs. Nan glared at him and whispered: "Keep your voice down! Someone is coming!"

 Master Lu instantly became alert.

Mr. Nan always wakes up once or twice at night, so she sleeps outside.

Master Lu gently passed her and got out of bed, picked up the ax on the table and walked out of the door.

Mrs. Nan also quickly put on her shoes, got a coat, and went to the main room with Master Lu.

                                                                              Ka.

 After a slight noise, the door latch was finally pried open.

The door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and a man in black stepped in.

However, what greeted him was a gleaming axe.

That man must be a master. An ordinary thief would have been split in half with an axe.

He hurriedly took a step back, trying to avoid Master Lu's axe. However, he avoided it, but his clothes were split from it and his belt was broken.

 The other four people behind him saw this and hurriedly drew the swords from their waists.

One of them pulled him away and stabbed Master Lu with a sword!

Mr. Nan's eyes turned cold: "I want to hurt my man, I'm dreaming!"

With a move of her fingertips, three Tanghua needles flew towards the man!

The man quickly retracted the move he used to stab Master Lu, and instead used his sword to block hidden weapons.

He deflected two of them, and the remaining one hit him in the arm.

An unusual sharp pain came from his arm. He frowned and said with a ferocious expression: "It's poisonous!"

 Senior Nan fired another round of hidden weapons, this time it was not just Tanghua needles, but also darts coated with poison.

Gu Xiaoshun was not idle either. He took out the machine box he had recently made and threw it at the group of people in the yard!

 “Xiao Shun!”

Master Lu hurriedly closed the door on one side and used an ax to stop Gu Xiaoshun and Nan Nan to his side.

 Only a few loud clanking noises were heard, and the door of the house was shot into a sieve.

Master Lu broke into a cold sweat and said to Gu Xiaoshun, "Next time you make a concealed weapon, can you do it in a way that doesn't hurt your own people?"

Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head: "Oh."

 He made many of them, and the only one that would not hurt him was given to Gu Jiao.

 The rest are all indiscriminate attacks.

 The one just now is the latest one and he hasn’t tested it yet.

 “I thought I succeeded this time.” He muttered.

Mr. Nan and Master Lu worked together to clean up the five people in the yard.

Mr. Nan looked at the men in black swaying on the ground and frowned in confusion: "Are there only five here? I heard the breathing just now, and it seemed like there were six..."

"ah-"

Gu Yan’s screams came from the backyard.

The faces of several people changed and they rushed towards the backyard!

When he arrived in the backyard, he saw Gu Yan holding a stick in both hands, and a man in black lying on the ground who had been knocked unconscious by his stick.

 Everyone: “…”

 “You, were you knocked unconscious?” Gu Xiaoshun asked in a daze, this is simply unbelievable, okay?

Gu Yan puffed up her little chest and said proudly: "That's right!"

 Gu Xiaoshun couldn't help but give Gu Yan a thumbs up, brother, from now on I will look at you with admiration.

“But.” Gu Xiaoshun frowned, “What did you call him when you knocked him out? I thought what happened to you!”

Gu Yan held the stick and said, "This is more impressive."

 Gu Xiaoshun: “…”

Gu Yan was able to successfully attack simply because the man stepped on the trap in the backyard and inhaled the drug sprinkled on the eaves.

While a few people were talking, a whistling sound suddenly came from the front yard, followed by fireworks exploding in the sky.

Master Lu threw the ax over and knocked out the man in black who was still struggling!

Mr. Nan looked at the fireworks above her head and said solemnly: "It's a signal! They're summoning nearby companions! We can't stay here anymore! Leave quickly! Don't pack up your things!"

 The possessions are small, but the escape is big.

Gu Yan rushed into the house and took the golden lantern that Gu Jiao had brought back from the lantern festival, but didn't take anything else.

Mr. Nan went back to the house, put on her clothes neatly, and took out a few masks.

　　Although I won’t take care of it, I still have to take the banknotes that come along with me.

 Master Lu carried her hidden weapons and poisons on her back.

"Don't forget this! This is the antidote for Chang Qing!" Nan Shiniang took the medicine bottle from the table and put it into her arms.

 On the other side, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan went to call Mr. Meng.

Unfortunately, Mr. Meng was sleeping so deeply that he couldn't wake up even with five thunderbolts.

 “Oh, I really admire you!” Gu Yan went crazy, “Xiao Shun, you can carry him!”

"I'm coming!" Master Lu walked into the house and handed the basket on his back to Gu Xiaoshun, "You go and prepare the carriage."

 “Okay!” Gu Xiaoshun agreed.

He and Gu Yan went to the stable, took the horse out, hitched the carriage, and opened the back door.

Master Lu carried the sleeping Mr. Meng on his back.

 Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun also sat on it.

Mr. Nan sat on the outer seat and grabbed the reins: "I'll drive the carriage! I'm familiar with the terrain of Shengdu!"

After Master Lu put Mr. Meng in the carriage, he came out and sat with her: "I'll let you watch."

 “That’s fine.” Nan Shiniang did not refuse.

 The third watch in the middle of the night.

 A carriage drove out of Willow Lane and disappeared on the quiet street.

There is no curfew in the outer city of Shengdu, but there are not many carriages wandering on the streets at this hour, and their carriages will be very eye-catching.

 “Go to where there are many people!” Master Lu said.

 “Where are there many people?” Nan Shiniang asked subconsciously.

 “Tianxiang Pavilion!” Gu Yan opened the curtain and said.

 Tianxiang Pavilion, the place where Gu Chengfeng sang, is now the only street that stays up all night and is crowded with people.

 That’s the best place to go.

Mr. Nan turned the carriage around a corner and ran towards Tianxiang Pavilion.

 “Hurry! They are over there!”

Hearing the assassin's voice, Master Nan tightened her grip on the reins: "No! They are catching up!"

This time there were not five men in black, but ten.

Ten assassins flew over the walls and followed the loud sound of horse hooves and heavy wheels of cars to catch up quickly.

 They are getting closer.

 “I saw the carriage!”

 “Let’s go! Remember, the two younger ones must be captured alive! The rest will be killed without mercy!”

"yes!"

The men in black were divided into two groups, five on the left side of the road and five on the right side of the road, heading towards the carriage to outflank it.

Following a gesture from the leader, everyone used light skills to rise into the sky in the night, pulled out their long swords, and violently split open the carriage compartment.

The horse was frightened, and the sword energy cut off the reins on the horse's back. The horse hurried away in the night.

 No one could care about a horse at this time.

The crowd surrounded the collapsed carriage.

"Who did it?" The leader was very powerful. "I told the two young ones to stay alive! What if I kill them?"

Everyone lowered their heads.

The leader pointed to the man in black next to him: "Go and take a look!"

"yes!"

The man in black who was spotted bravely stepped forward and used his long sword to open up a collapsed wall of the carriage. As a result, he found that there was no one in the carriage.

 He turned around and said: "Boss! They ran away!"

The leader narrowed his eyes: "They can't run far, so we split up and chase them!"

 “Are they gone?”

 In a small shop that was closed, Nan Shiniang asked in a low voice.

 Master Lu slowly stretched out his head from the wall, leaned on the wall and looked out: "It seems that he has left."

"Huh." Nan Shi Niang leaned against the wall and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "The aura of this group of people is different from the ones just now. They are dead soldiers and are difficult to deal with."

Gu Yan's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Gu Xiaoshun noticed something strange about him and asked, "Are you okay? Does your heart hurt again?"

"No." Gu Yan shook his head, "I just feel... that there is danger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword energy struck from the sky.

 Master Lu and Master Nan each held a child and stepped aside.

 The sword energy fell to the ground, and an innocent water tank suffered damage and burst open on the spot.

Mr. Meng, who was tied to Master Lu's back, was shaken like this and woke up.

However, the next second, his head hit the wall and he was knocked unconscious again.

 Master Lu: Did you hit something just now? But I don't feel any pain either.

　　　I seem to be moving too fast. . .
