Without Wang Yi's reminder, Gu Jiu rolled twice and hid behind the stone.
call out!
It was the sound of piercing the air again, exploding in my ears.
Wang Yi swung the rolling pin to block the sharp arrows.
"Miss, hide well, and this servant will go and find that man."
"Wang Yi, don't run around." Qingmei shouted.
Gu Jiu pulled Qingmei, rolled it on the ground a couple more times, and hid it in another place.
"Don't shout, it will reveal our hiding place."
Gu Jiu lowered her voice and reminded Qingmei.
Qingmei was worried and anxious.
She also lowered her voice and said, "Wang Yi is too reckless, if there is an accident, will she be able to save us in time?"
Gu Jiu didn't make a sound, and turned to look at the sharp arrow that went deep into the ground.
She doesn't know much about the standard weapons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but she also knows that the sharp arrows made of fine steel can only come from the generals.
In other words, sharp arrows made of fine steel can only be obtained by people with official backgrounds.
Gu Jiu raised his head carefully, paying attention to the movement around him.
She said to Qingmei: "Did you see that sharp arrow? We must get it."
She had to see with her own eyes whether the arrowhead was made of fine steel to prove her judgment.
Qingmei was nervous and uneasy, "The servant will get it."
"No. I'll get it."
"No. The girl has a delicate body, and the servants work all year round, so they are more flexible than the girl."
After finishing speaking, Qingmei couldn't help but crawl forward.
Gu Jiu was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and his back was already soaked in sweat.
She kept pricking up her ears and listening carefully, fearing that a sharp arrow would suddenly appear.
Qingmei exhausted all her efforts, and finally pulled out the sharp arrow that had sunk into the ground.
call out!
There was another crackling sound.
"Ome, hurry up!"
Qingmei also heard the sound of breaking through the air, she was frightened to death.
Gu Jiu seemed to be running out of time, so he jumped out and pulled Qing Mei to roll down.
The two kept rolling until they reached the bottom of the hillside before stopping.
"Are you injured?" Gu Jiu hurriedly asked.
Qingmei shook her head again and again, both of them were in a mess.
She grinned, "The servant has lived up to her mission and finally got it."
Qingmei held up a sharp arrow and showed it to Gu Jiu.
The arrowhead of a sharp arrow, reflecting in the sun. Made of stainless steel, high quality. There is also the coded name of the craftsman who will be the supervisor.
Gu Jiu smiled coldly, then frowned again.
She is just a boudoir girl, how can He De can let people with official background bother to kill her.
Is it because of Master Gu
Or because of Liu Zhao
Mr. Gu is in the officialdom, so he will inevitably offend others. However, civil servants have always used court methods to deal with political opponents.
Only a careless person like Xie Mao would use such indiscriminate assassination methods.
But Xie Mao has passed away, so the person who wants to kill her must not be Xie Mao.
As the emperor's grandson, Liu Zhao must have hindered many people's eyes.
Someone wants to kill Liu Zhao, Gu Jiu is not surprised.
But why even kill her
She is just Liu Zhao's fiancée, what's the use of killing her? Could it be that they want to kill chickens and monkeys? Is she that chicken
In Gu Jiu's mind, there is a word "MMP" that I don't know whether I should say it or not.
It was indeed a disaster without reason.
I hope it wasn't a disaster caused by Liu Zhao.
If the killer was provoked by Liu Zhao, how could today be a good day
If she can escape from birth, she must tear Liu Zhao into pieces so that he will never be humane in his life.
While observing the surrounding environment, Gu Jiu secretly cursed Liu Zhao.
She and Qingmei are currently in a dry ditch.
The ditch is located under the slope of Merlin Hill.
The two wanted to go back, to Xiangguo Temple, they had to go up the hill.
"Girl, what should we do?"
Qingmei's teeth were chattering, and her voice was trembling. The cyan dress is full of half-dried soil. Weeds and dust all over the head.
Gu Jiu is not much better than Qing Mei, the two of them are very different, and they are in a mess.
Gu Jiu took Qing Mei's hand, "Don't be afraid, we'll be fine."
Gu Jiu thought for a while, then pulled Qingmei to continue walking along the small river ditch.
I'll think about going back later, the important thing now is to get as far away from that killer as possible.
I don't know what happened to Wang Yi? Can you overthrow the killer
It was also the first time Gu Jiu knew that Wang Yi was so fond of fighting.
When Wang Yi rushed out with the rolling pin in hand, she clearly saw the excited light in Wang Yi's eyes.
That is the excitement of the strong duel.
How strong is Wang Yi's ability, Gu Jiu doesn't know. But it should be considered a master.
A black shadow descended from the sky, and the killer came after him.
"Girl, be careful."
"Never mind, keep running."
The black-clothed killer came here with his sword in hand, the purpose was to kill Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu ran desperately, her heart was cold.
Could it be that Wang Yi lost
Ding!
The sound of metal clashing sounded behind him.
Gu Jiu looked back, Zhao San
It was Zhao San, the guard beside Liu Zhao.
Not only Zhao San, but also the sound of fighting came from the hillside.
It turned out that there were more than one killer who killed her.
Gu Jiu sneered, he really didn't expect that the other party would value her so much and send several murderers to kill her at once.
"Are you okay, miss?"
Wang Yi is back, Wang Yi is fine.
Wang Yi jumped down the dry ditch, carried Gu Jiu on his back, "Girl, this servant will take you up."
Gu Jiu didn't refuse, she lay on Wang Yi's body and asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Yi said: "The servant found the archer and knocked him out. Unexpectedly, a lot of men in black came out at once. There was a fight between the two sides."
Gu Jiu gritted her teeth, it was exactly as she guessed. Today's disasters are all caused by Liu Zhao.
The two sides fought, and Zhao San gradually gained the upper hand.
The killers in black exchanged glances with each other and retreated decisively.
"Don't chase."
Zhao San called his guards to stop, "My lord's safety is of the utmost importance."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao San caught up with Gu Jiu, "Miss Gu, this place is dangerous. Please follow me."
Gu Jiu looked at Zhao San expressionlessly, "Is Liu Zhao nearby?"
Zhao San hesitated for a moment, unable to figure out why Gu Jiu would guess it.
He nodded and admitted, "Yes, the young master is nearby."
Gu Jiu said with a straight face, "Take me to see him."
"Miss Gu, please."
Zhao San led Gu Jiu towards the cliff of the back mountain.
Gu Jiu was suspicious and vigilant.
When they reached the edge of the cliff, Zhao San said, "Young Master is in the other courtyard below."
Gu Jiu remained silent, waiting for Zhao San to reveal the answer.
Zhao San walked towards the dense forest, but he walked steadily and did not fall off the cliff.
Gu Jiu was surprised.
Zhao San turned to look at Gu Jiu, "There are experts here, and the other sides are real cliffs. This side looks like a cliff, but it's actually just a hillside."
I see.
Gu Jiu led Wang Yi, Qing Mei, followed Zhao San into the woods, all the way down.
After walking all the way, the front suddenly became clear.
A separate courtyard appeared in front of my eyes.
"To build another courtyard here, whose idea is it?"
Zhao San smiled and said, "Of course it's the young master's idea."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "So, this is Liu Zhao's private courtyard?"
"Exactly! Miss Gu is the first person to be invited to this other courtyard."
Gu Jiu snorted, not feeling honored in the slightest, but held back his anger.
Enter the other courtyard.
The other courtyard is not big, there are only two entrances, and the layout is very delicate. Obviously thoughtful.
Liu Zhao was sitting in the back garden drinking tea.
There were pools of blood on the ground.
When Zhao San saw the bloodstains, his expression changed, he was extremely nervous, "My lord, did someone break in?"
Liu Zhao said calmly: "The opponent has a master who broke the formation here. A few thieves came, but they have been dealt with."
Zhao San was worried, "My lord, can I still live here?"
Liu Zhao shook his head, "I can't live anymore, you go down and prepare, and then we will leave."
"The subordinate obeys."
Zhao San withdrew.
Qingmei and Wang Yi hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.
In the courtyard, only Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao were left.
Liu Zhao poured tea and made a gesture of invitation, "Come and sit down."
Gu Jiu silently stepped forward, picked up the teacup, but didn't drink it.
She stared at Liu Zhao with a bad expression.
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to say?"
Gu Jiu didn't say anything, just poured a cup of tea on Liu Zhao's face.
When she was almost killed by a sharp arrow, when she and Qingmei were alone and helpless, Gu Jiu really wanted to kill Liu Zhao, and it was a one-shot. What kind of broken marriage, this girl is not rare.
At this moment, it is polite to just pour him a cup of tea.
But a miracle happened.
The tea was in mid-air, stagnant, as if held by an invisible force.
In one second, maybe only one-tenth of a second, the tea flowed backwards and all fell back into the cup.
Gu Jiu was frightened and threw the teacup away.
Liu Zhao stretched out his hand to catch the teacup, "Be careful not to catch it."
Gu Jiu took a deep breath, "I'm also angry for nothing."
Liu Zhao smiled slightly, "Sit down and talk. This time, you will be hurt."
Gu Jiu sat down on the stone bench, "So you also know that you've hurt me."
"Sorry!" Liu Zhao apologized solemnly, and poured another cup of tea.
He put the teacup in front of Gu Jiu, "Drink the tea and calm down."
Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and didn't rush to drink it.
Liu Zhao asked calmly, "Splash me with limit?"
Gu Jiu said frankly, "I want to kill you."
Liu Zhao was surprised, and then laughed, "How do you want to kill me?"
Gu Jiu answered irrelevantly, "If you're dead, I won't have to suffer."
Liu Zhao said in a cold tone: "If I die, you will only suffer more. You don't even want to marry in this life, you have to watch over the family."
Gu Jiu secretly rolled her eyes.
Liu Zhao said again: "I thought you were ready to marry me."
Gu Jiu said: "Until the day of the big wedding, who dares to say that he is ready to marry someone else's wife?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "You're right, I really don't understand women. But you are different from others. You are destined to marry me, so you should make preparations early to marry the emperor's grandson."
"You mean, I will encounter danger like today?"
Liu Zhao said calmly, "I will try my best to ensure your safety, but I cannot guarantee that similar things will not happen again."
Gu Jiu answered, "After all, members of the royal family are either lunatics or perverts."
"What is perversion?" Liu Zhao asked shamelessly.
Gu Jiu said coldly, "It's not a normal person."
When Liu Zhao heard this, he nodded again and again, "You are right, there is no normal person in the royal family, they are all abnormal. So get used to it as soon as possible."
Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Zhao, "How can you help here? Could it be that your leg is not injured?"
Liu Zhao had a rare smile, "Did you see it?"
Gu Jiu was puzzled, "It is rumored outside that you and the eldest grandson of the emperor fought in the barracks, and both sides were hurt."
Liu Zhao said casually: "The eldest grandson of the emperor is really injured. As for me, I need an excuse to leave the barracks. Being injured is a very good excuse."
Gu Jiu suddenly fell silent.
Liu Zhao was also silent.
The atmosphere between the two was a little tense. It was mainly because Gu Jiu was tense.
She drank her tea in silence, her thoughts tumbling.
Liu Zhao silently counted the time, and finally he broke the silence between the two, "Do you really want to kill me?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "For a moment, I really wanted to kill you."
Liu Zhao laughed, as if he was very happy to hear Gu Jiu say that.
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, crazy! He was happy to hear that someone had killed him. As expected of a member of the royal family, he was crazy and perverted.
Liu Zhao said indifferently: "You are the first person who frankly wanted to kill me in front of me. I am very honored."
Gu Jiu put down the teacup and looked at Liu Zhao with strange eyes.
Liu Zhao played with the teacup, thought for a while, and said, "I believe that many people want to kill me, but I can't hear a single truth from those people. I am very happy that you are so honest with me. I think husband and wife The first point of getting along is to be honest.”
Gu Jiu suddenly made a gesture of invitation, "Please show your honesty."
Liu Zhao's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with a serious expression: "I want to marry you, this is the truth."
Gu Jiu said, "I'm not willing to listen."
Liu Zhao thought for a while, and then said, "I want to advance the wedding date, and this is also the truth."
Gu Jiu snorted, with a proud face, "I object."
Liu Zhao simply said: "I want to know if you are happy because you want to marry me?"
Gu Jiu was stunned, what the hell kind of question is this.
"No?" Liu Zhao was a little disappointed.
Gu Jiu shook her head, "I can't answer this question for you. I think it makes me happier if your marriage is less than one thousand taels of silver."
Liu Zhao suffered 10,000 points of damage, and his majestic grandson is not as important as one thousand taels of silver.
He stared at Gu Jiu: What kind of eyes do you have, are you lame? It is not rare for the rich and noble son in front of him, but he is rare for a thousand taels of silver. Do you know, let alone one thousand taels, this young master can give you ten thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels, or even one million taels.
Gu Jiu looked at Liu Zhao with a half-smile: One hundred thousand taels, one million taels, you should give it. If you can't give it out, it's a ghost to use it blindly.
Liu Zhao twitched his brows and eyes, very upset.
"You are such a money fanatic!"
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I'm as obsessed with money as ever."
Liu Zhao suddenly laughed. Instead, Gu Jiu felt uneasy.
As soon as Liu Zhao smiled, she felt that something was wrong.
"The palace has many, many properties, and the palace also has a lot of money. But this money is not in the hands of my son."
Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and covered the smile on her lips, "What do you want to say?"
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "If you want money, you might as well rob the palace."
ahem...
Gu Jiu almost choked.
She stared at Liu Zhao suspiciously, "You want me to rob the palace?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "Yes, rob the palace. Instead of letting your father prodigal, why don't you find a way to rob all the money."
Gu Jiu coughed again and again, "Aren't you joking?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "Of course I'm not joking. How about it, are you interested?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Aren't you afraid that the prince will kill you, an unfilial son, with a knife?"
Liu Zhao said with a smile: "With you here, I am naturally not afraid. Father will kill me, but he will never kill you."
Gu Jiu pointed at Liu Zhao, shameless and shameless. Can you still have some face if you use your wife to block the knife
Liu Zhao picked up his teacup and smiled softly, "A majestic man from the royal family, why do you need face. How much face is worth, can you make you smile? I can't make you smile, it shows that face is not worth a thousand taels, just let it go."
It is really rare to be able to speak shamelessly in such a straightforward, fresh and refined way.
Gu Jiu bowed down willingly, and sighed with his hands on his forehead.
Monster! Who will accept this evildoer.
"Do you agree?" Liu Zhao asked.
Gu Jiu vomited blood and responded, "I'll talk about it later."
Liu Zhao nodded, "We're less than four months away from the wedding, take advantage of this time to think about my proposal carefully. If you agree, we will start to implement the plan to rob the palace after you enter the door."
Gu Jiu supported his forehead and said: "I will be killed by you. The concubine doesn't like me in the first place, and if I go along with you again, she will definitely hate me to death."
However, Liu Zhao said: "The word consort is indecent. It should be said that a husband and wife are of the same mind, and their benefits can cut through gold. Husband and wife are one, and we share weal and woe."
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him directly, "How much do you hate the palace?"
Liu Zhao looked calm, "You misunderstood, how can I hate the palace. I just think that money should be used wisely and not wasted in brothels and flower shops.
The emperor's grandfather is planning to rectify the debts accumulated by the household department, because of the delay in the matter of Concubine Mei. After the turmoil is over, the settlement of the arrears will return to the royal grandfather's desk again.
The father knew it well, and he was willing to be assigned to guard the imperial mausoleum in order to avoid the limelight.
He dumped this mess to me. Even though I have all kinds of skills, I still can't change three hundred thousand taels of silver.
After much deliberation, the only option is to rob the palace and let the father bleed. However, after all, the palace is still headed by the father and mother, so I need your help. "
