The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 398: The most handsome overlord! (monthly ticket plus update)

There were more assassins in the other wave, Gu Jiao counted them, there were six in total, each of them exuded a very powerful aura, and they faintly made Gu Jiao feel familiar.

The three of them and one bird hid on the leafy branches, Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng held their breaths intently, Gu Jiao covered her aunt's nose with her hand, it didn't kill her, but it could block the sound to the maximum extent.

Xiao Jiu saw Gu Jiao covering her, her bird's eyes rolled around, she spread her wings, and covered her own bird's head.

Gu Chengfeng at the side: ... No, you are a bird, what are you doing covering yourself?

The group of people didn't know that Gu Jiao and the others were on the tree, they just thought they were going forward again, and they used lightness kung fu to chase after them.

After confirming that the person had gone far away, Gu Chengfeng spoke: "What should we do now?"

The carriage is gone, and the horse has also run away. They can't walk back to the capital on a few legs, can they?

Here is a little distance from the capital, and it will take several hours to go back. If they really walk back, their legs will have to be broken.

"Wait until dawn." Gu Jiao said.

Although it is easy to hide your body when walking at night, it is easy to be suspicious when several people suddenly appear in the night, and the slightest movement will be magnified invisibly.

There are many people on the road during the day, and it is not easy for them to be found when they mix in the crowd.

"Just... sit on the tree and wait?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

While the two were talking, a poisonous snake slowly approached them, spitting out snake letters.

The poisonous snake was the closest to Gu Jiao.

Just as it opened its mouth with fangs and bit Gu Jiao's neck, Xiao Jiu flew it away with its wings!

It is obviously unrealistic to stay in the tree overnight, not to mention these poisonous snakes and insects, just in case you accidentally squint and fall from the tree.

"Eh? There seems to be a cave over there." Gu Jiao looked at the foot of the mountain to the south and said, "Let's go and have a look!"

The three of them went to the foot of the mountain south of the forest, and there really was a cave.

"Someone lived there before." Gu Jiao took out a firewood bag and said, looking at the firewood and withered grass on the ground.

"There are people living in this kind of place?" Gu Chengfeng curled his lips.

"I lived there a long time ago, so I should just pass by." Gu Jiao simply cleaned up the cave, the withered grass was clumps, and said to Gu Chengfeng, "Let my aunt sit here."

The cave is gloomy and cold, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang should have caught the cold by sitting on the ground at her age. Fortunately, there was dead grass left by the predecessors.

"Oh." Gu Chengfeng put down the sleeping Empress Dowager Zhuang, let her sit gently on the haystack,

Gu Jiao sat down next to her aunt, letting her lean on her shoulder.

Gu Chengfeng, a big man, can only sit on the ground. Although he is the biggest thief in the capital, he is a rich thief. What he suffers is physical suffering, not life suffering.

Therefore, this kind of environment is a bit tormenting for him, but there is nothing he can do about it.

Xiao Jiu fell on a big tree to watch.

Gu Jiao put away the fire pack, and the cave fell into darkness again, and the cold moonlight shone in for a moment, making the cave completely silent.

Gu Chengfeng broke the silence in the cave. He picked up a dead branch on the ground and scratched it boredly on the ground: "You said... why did Concubine Jing do this? Why did she target the queen mother everywhere? Because she failed to become the queen mother Is it? But if she didn't go all the way with the Queen Mother back then, wouldn't the Queen Mother not give her a queen mother?"

It is not too rare for two empress dowagers to appear at the same time. One is the emperor's aunt and the other is the emperor's biological mother. This is the case with the founding queens Zhao and Xun.

Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Because of jealousy?"

Jealousy drives people crazy, you never know what kind of unreasonable things a woman full of jealousy will do.

"Because of hatred."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's voice sounded unhurriedly.

Gu Jiao turned her head: "Auntie, are you awake?"

"En." The Empress Dowager Zhuang straightened up slowly. In the darkness, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were icy cold, "She is a remnant of the previous dynasty."

Snapped!

As soon as Gu Chengfeng exerted force, the branch in his hand broke, and he said in disbelief: "The remnants of the former dynasty?"

It has been 200 years since the previous dynasty was destroyed, yet there are still remnants of evil, it's too scary!

"Did my aunt already know?" Gu Jiao asked.

Empress Dowager Zhuang shook her head: "That's why I know."

On the carriage, Concubine Jing showed off the bracelet to her, with her sleeves pulled higher, and she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pigeon blood tattoo on Concubine Jing's arm.

She has always had a tattoo on her arm, which used to be a peony, but only after seeing it today did she realize that it was a red flame totem.

Thinking about it, she painted the peony in the past to cover up the red flame totem. No wonder when Ning An broke his face, she immediately gave Ning An a trick to paint a begonia makeup on the scar. It turned out to be a common trick.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "That totem is the emblem of the dead soldiers of the previous dynasty, a bit like the Xuanwu tattoo on the face of the Dragon Shadow Guard."

Although they are all dead men, the dead men of the previous dynasty are not like the Dragon Shadow Guards who are outright killing tools. They are more like masters in the army, and they are both counselors and scouts.

Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "No wonder she is so skilled." It turned out to be a dead soldier.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang continued: "The real dead men from the previous dynasty no longer exist. Strictly speaking, they are the descendants of the dead men from the previous dynasty. The original purpose of the late emperor who bought the dead men from the Kingdom of Yan to train the Dragon Shadow Guards was to hunt and kill The dead soldiers of the previous dynasty have almost been killed, who would have thought that there would be a fish slipping through the net beside him."

Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth: "Then... Bo Yong..."

Today's Yong En Bo is the nephew of Concubine Jing.

Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted, "Do you think anyone is qualified to be a rebel? Uncle Yong En's idiot can't be favored by the party members of the former court, but Concubine Jing's own brother is a bit confusing. It's a pity that he died of illness early .”

Otherwise, who can say that there won't be a second Zhuang Taifu in the capital?

Gu Chengfeng was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked. If the queen mother hadn't said it herself, who would have expected such a terrible stake to be involved behind a little concubine Jing.

He couldn't believe it!

"Then... Then is she taking your old man to the frontier this time because there are also remnants of the previous dynasty? Is she going to join them? The palace can't stay any longer, so she simply withdraws in time. She, she is going to... ..."

The word rebellion was held back by Gu Chengfeng.

It seems that he should not interfere with the government.

Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't deliberately hide it: "For the time being, it can be inferred that the frontier fortress is a place of suffering, and the imperial court does not strictly control it there. If you want to raise troops, it is the most suitable place."

Gu Chengfeng suddenly heard the inside story that even his grandfather and elder brother couldn't hear, and his mood was indescribable: "But, she has been in contact with the frontier fortress for so many years, so no one suspects it? She..." Gu Chengfeng paused.

He remembered that Princess Ning'an was married to a frontier fortress.

He sighed: "She is really calculating."

Princess Ning'an's marriage was premeditated by her from the very beginning, the man who made Princess Ning'an fall in love at first sight, the man who devoted his life to loving Princess Ning'an, was also a pawn of Concubine Jing's.

"How could there be such a cold-blooded person? Princess Ning'an is too pitiful." Gu Chengfeng didn't know what to say.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes, and there was a flash of water on the eyelash feathers.

Xiao Jiu flew over with fluttering wings and landed on Gu Jiao's lap.

Gu Jiao understood, her eyes turned cold, and she said, "They are chasing you!"

Gu Chengfeng's expression changed: "So fast!"

"Let's go!" Gu Jiao helped her aunt up.

Gu Chengfeng turned around and carried his aunt on his back. In order to free him up, Gu Jiao tied her belt around her and him.

Seeing that her posture was wrong, Gu Chengfeng frowned, and said, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Jiao said: "I'll go and lure them away, you take my aunt away!"

"No! To quote is..."

He wanted to say that he was going to seduce, but Gu Jiao had already rushed out.

In fact, he also understands that this is the best arrangement - he is good at light work, he leads people away quickly, and Gu Jiao is very skilled, so he can delay them to the greatest extent.

Gu Chengfeng is not an indecisive person, if he delays any longer, no one will be able to leave.

He carried his aunt on his back, performed lightness kung fu and sank into the night in the opposite direction.

...

In the lush forest, Gu Jiao met the group of people.

She finally knew where the sense of familiarity came from. The moves and murderous aura of these people were too similar to the Dragon Shadow Guard.

After Concubine Jing got the Dragon Shadow Guard, she asked the Dragon Shadow Guard to duel with the masters below, and asked someone to secretly figure out and analyze the Dragon Shadow Guard's martial arts, and trained her own "Dragon Shadow Guard".

Compared with the real Dragon Shadow Guard, it is naturally a bit worse, but it is still much better than ordinary masters.

Gu Jiao's body was soon wounded, and blood flowed down her arm.

Her purpose is not to fight with others. After delaying for so long, this group of people should not be able to catch up with Gu Chengfeng.

Gu Jiao blasted a trail of blood with the black fire beads and rushed into the depths of the forest.

One of the men in black resisted the pain, drew his bow and arrow, and shot towards Gu Jiao's heart.

Xiao Jiu flew over with fluttering wings, with the fierceness and swiftness of the overlord of the sky, and grabbed the arrow with one paw!

Fourth watch, are you happy?
