As soon as that person was mentioned, Guo Zhen shivered all over his body. He looked at the knife in the assassin's hand, and then at the assassin's gloomy and murderous face.
"I... I'm not afraid of anyone! Now that Rong Chang'an wants my life, I have no choice."
With a cry from the wolf, the knife was sheathed again.
"I'm leaving today, let's see who dares to stop me!"
With a push of both hands, the door was pushed open, and walked outside,
"If you leave, I will die! Anyway, I will die, and today I will take you down no matter what!"
Guo Zhen saw a sword hanging on the wall, took it off, flew out, and stabbed the assassin in the back.
Hearing the sound of the wind behind him, the assassin turned his body slightly, and Guo Zhen's sword passed by. Guo Zhen saw that the stab missed, turned his wrist, and stabbed back with the sword.
The assassin's eyes were cold, and he didn't panic at all. He slapped Guo Zhen's sword-holding arm with his knife and sheath. Guo Zhen suddenly felt sore, numb and painful. He yelled, but couldn't hold the sword any longer, and the sword fell to the ground with a bang.
At this moment, the assassin's knife was pulled out and placed on Guo Zhen's neck.
"Do you want to die or live?"
The cold air on the sword was overwhelming, and Guo Zhen trembled all over.
Zhang An and Geng Di have also come out, and said to the assassin: "We are all our own, why kill each other! Just let Mr. Guo go!"
The assassin sneered, "If I can let him go, can he let me go?"
Zhang An kicked Guo Zhen, but Guo Zhen had no choice but to give in and said, "Go, I won't arrest you!"
The assassin snorted: "Then I can go. After I go back, I will explain the situation here to that person."
The implication is to read Guo Zhen's book in front of that person.
Guo Zhen, Zhang An, Geng Di and others looked shocked.
"Master Guo was just joking with you just now, so you don't need to tell that person about such a small matter. We will definitely do our best for that person in the future and never let him down." Zhang An said with a smile on his face.
Geng Di also said: "If you really tell about Mr. Guo, that person will probably punish you too! Think about it, he has a good relationship with us, but because you made such a mess, he will definitely think you It's not good for work."
The assassin chewed Geng Di's words for a while, felt that this was the truth, and said: "Since two adults have interceded for him, I will let him go. We will meet later!"
The assassin didn't stay any longer, he took a big step and left Zhang's mansion like a whirlwind.
Seeing the assassin leave, Guo Zhen sighed and hit the ground with his hand: "Let him go, how can I explain to Rong Chang'an!"
Geng Di said: "Master Guo, if you hand over the assassin to Rong Chang'an, it would be a big mistake!"
Guo Zhen asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Geng Di said: "If the assassin is caught, he will definitely tell Rong Chang'an everything. Including our collusion with that person, including Ziyan Guifei will be implicated."
Guo Zhen thought about it, and it was indeed the case.
"Then how should I tell Rong Changan? She already hates me, if she can't catch the assassin, she will definitely use this to kill me!"
The corner of Geng Di's mouth twitched into a sinister smile, and a sly and cold light shot out of his eyes.
"I have a way to relieve Mr. Guo's worries."
Guo Zhen and Zhang An leaned over one after another, their eyes shining brightly: "What's the trick of Lord Geng? Tell me quickly!"
Geng Di said: "Now that the assassin has left the capital, Rong Changan wants to arrest the assassin again. In this case, let's give her an assassin and see what she has to say."
Guo Zhen still didn't understand Geng Di's words, he thought about it, and was at a loss: "Master Geng, just tell me, what should we do?"
Geng Di said: "Let's just find a scapegoat and let him pretend to be an assassin, then it's over!"
Guo Zhen snapped and slapped himself on the forehead: "Yes, why didn't I think of it! We found someone, but there was no one, so we dragged a death row prisoner out of the prison and promised to give his family a silver mansion. Help us pretend to be assassins!"
Zhang An also became excited: "It's not too late, let's go find this person right now!"
At that moment, Guo Zhen found a soldier named Wang Er in the Nine Gates Army Division. Relying on the little food every day, it is impossible to fill the stomachs of his wife, son and old mother. The old mother is so hungry that her eyes are dim and she is lying on the bed, dying.
Guo Zhen told Wang Er about posing as an assassin in this way. Wang Er felt sorry for his family. If he could use his own death in exchange for his wife, son, and mother to have food and a luxurious house to live in, he would rather die.
Since Wang Er agreed, Guo Zhen was naturally happy and told him again before putting him in shackles.
"This is a secret that can't be told to death. If you tell it, you will never get a penny!"
Wang Er bit his finger and swore: "If I, Wang Er, tell the story of Mr. Guo, my family will die!"
Guo Zhen grinned and smiled triumphantly: "Okay, okay! As long as you listen to me completely, you won't have to worry about your family not having a good life!"
On the third day, Guo Zhen imprisoned Wang Er in the prison cart and went to see Rong Chang'an.
Rong Changan was very surprised that Guo Zhen was able to catch the assassin within three days. I thought to myself, does Guo Zhen really dare to arrest the assassin, not afraid that the assassin will reveal all his secrets? The assassin's martial arts are so high, how did Guo Zhen subdue the assassin? All kinds of doubts cannot be explained.
"Your Majesty Guo has worked hard. You have made a great contribution to catching the assassin who assassinated the emperor. Congratulations!" In Fengming Palace, Rong Changan received Guo Zhen, "Where is the assassin now?"
Guo Zhen knelt at Rong Changan's feet, lowered his head, and looked at the ground: "The assassin is just outside the palace. I was afraid that it would be unlucky to bring him into Fengming Palace, so I didn't bring him in."
If Guo Zhen really caught the assassin, is it really necessary to erase Guo Zhen's guilt
"You bring the assassin to my little garden. I want to interrogate this assassin. Who gave him the courage to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor!"
Guo Zhen released Wang Er from the prison cart, escorted by two inner guards, and took him to the octagonal glazed pavilion in the garden.
"Queen Rong, bring the assassin!"
Rong Changan flickered his star eyes and looked at the assassin, but saw that the assassin was wearing a hood covering his entire face, so he couldn't see clearly whether it was a human or a ghost.
"Master Guo, why are you covering your face?"
Guo Zhen said: "The assassin has a ferocious face, I was afraid of scaring the queen, so I covered his head first."
Rong Changan smiled, and sat on a chair in the pavilion: "It doesn't matter! I have led thousands of troops, and I have never seen such a vicious person! Are you afraid of this mere assassin? Besides, the emperor was saved by me." , I had a face-to-face meeting with the assassin, and I am not afraid of him. You should quickly take off his hood!"
Hearing Rong Changan's words, Guo Zhen's back burst into cold sweat. If Rong Changan had a face-to-face meeting with the Assassin, she must be deeply impressed by the Assassin. If she recognized Wang Er, what would she do? Lost in thought for a moment, he even forgot Rong Changan's order.
