The next day, a rumor suddenly spread in the city, saying that Chu Qing, who had just been entrusted with an important task by the emperor, had colluded with Jianghu forces and was a complete liar.
Suddenly, Chu Qing became the target of public criticism. People pointed and talked about him behind his back while walking on the road. All the topics after dinner revolved around him.
The source of the rumors was the aristocratic family. The people of the aristocratic family watched the rumors spread with satisfaction, but they were still not satisfied. After all, this was constructed by them, not the truth. If someone investigates it clearly, it will still not cause any harm to Chu Qing.
"This time, Chu Qing's life must be taken."
Not only did the people from the aristocratic family not let go of framing Chu Qing, they also found many killers in the world. If Chu Qing could not be an ally, they would have to let him die.
Chu Qing was walking on the road and noticed something was wrong. There were slight footsteps behind him. Although the sound was very small, he still vaguely felt the killing coming from behind.
Chu Qing is very smart. Rumors about him colluding with Jianghu forces have just spread in the city, and now someone is trying to kill him. It seems that he has really caused a lot of trouble. The enemy was hidden, so Chu Qing did not dare to be careless. He did not know how many people came and their strength. Now was not the time to confront them head-on.
Chu Qing glanced sideways behind him, then moved his steps and ran quickly to the side path, then climbed over a wall, and then continued running to a hidden place.
Although Chu Qing is very sure of his own strength, now is a critical period and he has to be careful.
After getting rid of the people following him, Chu Qing walked out. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. After a while, a person came out next to him, with sharp eyes and a cold aura all over his body.
"Master of the Gate."
Chu Qing glanced at him and said, "You guys are following me these days, but don't follow me too closely. I want to see who wants to get rid of me."
The man nodded knowingly and said, "Yes, Master."
"Well, please step back first."
After the man disappeared, Chu Qing stood up and looked at the sky, then prepared to go back. Suddenly, a sharp weapon passed by his ear. Chu Qing stepped aside and looked straight ahead with a burning gaze.
"Now that you're here, let's show up and meet you."
As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, several people walked out from directly in front of him, and several people walked out from the side. There were almost seven or eight people in total, and they all looked at Chu Qing fiercely.
"Are you Chu Qing?" The leader looked at Chu Qing coldly and said, "Someone is offering money to buy your life."
Chu Qing sneered and said, "Just a few of you want my life."
The leader's expression changed, he raised his hand and said: "Come on."
The killer next to him rushed toward Chu Qing. Chu Qing stepped back, then narrowed his eyes, clenched his hands, and faced the enemy.
At the beginning, Chu Qing had a slight upper hand, but was outnumbered. After a while, Chu Qing started to struggle.
Uh-huh!
There was a sudden sound next to him, and the people fighting looked over. The killer showed a puzzled expression, while Chu Qing raised the corners of his mouth.
The person who suddenly appeared was approaching the killer. The difference in strength between the two groups was not even a little bit different. Soon, the group of killers fled.
"Master, are you okay?"
Chu Qing shook his head and said, "You guys showed up just in time."
"yes."
Chu Qing smiled and nodded, then turned and left. It was getting late and he should go back.
Back at Gong's house, Chu Qing first went to visit Fuling in the room, and happened to see Fuling being helped into the room by a maid with a weak look on her face. She hurriedly called out: "Fu Ling."
Fu Ling turned around, and when she saw it was Chu Qing, her eyes were a little surprised, and she said happily: "You're back."
Chu Qing stretched out his hand to support her and frowned: "You look very weak. What's the matter? What's wrong with you?"
Fu Ling did not answer, but bowed her head shyly. The little maid next to her smiled and said, "The master of the house is happy."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly: "Is it true? Are you really pregnant?"
Fu Ling blushed with embarrassment and just smiled and nodded.
