As soon as the door of the courtyard room was opened, a row of feathered arrows were released. Wang Yan's body soared into the air, and the feathered arrows flew under his feet.
More than a dozen masked men jumped out of the house and surrounded Wang Yan who had just escaped from the trap, and four other people hooked the net on Gu Yuqi's body with hooks and dragged her away.
Several hidden weapons were fired from the hands of those four people. Gu Yuqi was trapped in the net and had nowhere to dodge. Both her legs and her hands were hit respectively. In an instant, an unspeakable numbness spread from the wound to her limbs.
Gu Yuqi felt that her hands and feet seemed to be frozen by ice, and they became heavier and heavier, until she lost consciousness.
Gradually, her struggle became weaker and weaker, and when she raised her eyes to look at Wang Yan, she passed out in a coma.
Wang Yan was terrified, and tried his best to shake the four people around him away, trying to rush over to rescue Gu Yuqi from the big trawl net. Helplessly, the others were like maggots attached to the bones, following him like a shadow, entangled him tightly. These dozen or so people don't know where they came from, but their martial arts are super high. They were not like ordinary assassins at all. As soon as Wang Yan fought against them, he knew that today was going to be a bad day.
Even if Wang Yan tried his best, he couldn't take half a step forward. He could only watch helplessly as the four masked men in black dragged the big net over the wall. Then he heard the sound of the carriage, ticking, ticking, Lopsided.
Wang Yan is now red-eyed, Gu Yuqi was lost in his hands, he can no longer go back and explain to the prince.
Rather, it complied with what the prince said before going out, if the empress finds out, you don't have to come back. Wang Yan felt bitter in his heart, most likely he would not be able to go back today.
He struggled outwards, trying to climb over the wall to catch up with the carriage that took Gu Yuqi away, but the more distracted he was, the more mistakes he would make.
His back hurts. In the chaos of blades, he was slashed.
Wang Yan slashed back like crazy, slashing the man in black who hit him. Others saw Wang Yan's red eyes. I know that this person cannot be kept.
The light and shadow of the sword flickered and intertwined in front of Wang Yan.
Even though Wang Yan tried his best to resist, he had only one person, and the skills of these dozen people were not bad.
After several fights, he was already covered in wounds, completely bloody.
Among the dozen or so people, several were also injured by Wang Yan's reckless fighting style.
The last sword pierced Wang Yan's back heart, and Wang Yan finally fell to the ground. With difficulty, he took out a bamboo tube from his waist, pulled it hard, and the bamboo tube was facing upwards. In an instant, a firework rose from the bamboo tube. The firework was like a sharp blade, straight into the dark night sky, as if to It's like tearing apart the black curtain covering the earth. [.] When it rose to the highest point, the fireworks exploded, and a brilliant red color stayed for a long time in the star-studded night sky.
"Withdraw!" Finally, someone stabbed Wang Yan's back with a sword, and said to the others, "What he sent out should be a signal! Don't wait for their people to come, it will be troublesome."
After speaking, the dozen or so people covered their wounds, left Wang Yan who was lying in a pool of blood, and crossed the wall separately. Quickly disappeared into the vast night.
Yun Ke in the Ministry of Criminal Justice has always been a little restless, always feeling that something is going to happen.
There was always an inexplicable boredom in his heart.
On the day of his marriage, someone sued the Xia family with the eldest princess's jade pendant. The next day, the daughter of the Xia family died. His Majesty did not summon the young man who sued the Xia family for the time being. Hong Yahua carried it.
When Yun Ke took Gu Yuqi back to the palace, His Majesty saw the young man, and Emperor Jing was shocked by the young man's accusation.
In the court, no one is willing to take over this case, everyone pushes and pushes, and they actually push this job to Yun Ke who is still on vacation.
Emperor Jing didn't want to involve Yun Ke, who was already related to the Xia family, but in the end he gritted his teeth and sent the matter to Yun Ke for handling.
He has long been determined to clean up the Xia family.
When he was short of money, the Xia family, as a courtier, didn't know how to be considerate, and made things difficult for him in every possible way, so that he had to make a promise to borrow money to save money. At that time, the root of disaster had already been planted.
Over the years, the power of the aristocratic family has grown stronger and more intertwined, making it impossible for him to attack.
Today's matter of the Xia family is a good opportunity, but after all, the aristocratic family is huge, no matter who it is handed over to, it will take a lot of care.
Yun Yi naturally could not accept this case, and it would not be appropriate for Yun Qing to marry the daughter of the Jiang family soon. There was only one Yun Ke, who married the daughter of the Dingyuan Hou family, and had no entanglement with the family. After much deliberation, I knew that he was the best candidate.
So after Yun Ke sent Wang Yan away, he was declared into the palace by Emperor Jing.
When he came out of the palace, he went directly to the Ministry of Punishment and stayed there until now.
He had just asked someone to record the boy's confession, and before he walked out of the punishment department, he saw a huge red firework blooming in the night sky, which lingered in the air for a long time and could not dissipate. His heart suddenly rose to his throat. This is the signal from the secret guards of the palace, and it will only be used in the most critical time. At present, there are not many hidden guards in the capital who may encounter danger...
Intuitively, he immediately thought of Gu Yuqi, and he asked Wang Yan to follow Gu Yuqi!
He rushed out of the gate of the Criminal Department suddenly, and a small official of the Criminal Department next to him flattered and led the horse. Before he could say the word "Prince", he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and both the man and the horse had been thrown out. , quickly disappeared into the night.
Facing the direction where the fireworks were rising, Yun Ke almost galloped through the capital. Fortunately, it was already dark and there were not many pedestrians on these streets. Yun Ke rode his horse and went straight, watching the fireworks above his head Unfortunately, before he found the courtyard, the fireworks above his head had dissipated.
Looking at the criss-crossing alleys, Yun Ke stopped his horse, burning with anxiety.
"My lord." Two figures also flew over from the darkness, knelt down in front of Yun Ke's horse with folded fists.
"Have you found the location?" Yun Ke asked coldly when he saw that it was Du Xia and Li Sheng.
"Not yet, the subordinates also chased here, and the signal disappeared." Du Xia replied.
"Where is the princess?" Yun Ke asked anxiously.
"I don't know." Du Xia immediately replied.
"Li Sheng, go back to the palace immediately to see if the princess is well." Yun Ke said to Li Sheng. "Du Xia followed me to search nearby!"
"Yes." Li Sheng took the order, and immediately turned around and ran towards the palace.
Yun Ke called out the two hidden guards who were following him, and they searched the area together.
There is only one signal, and the person who sent the signal is probably killed!
Otherwise, if the signal disappears, another one should be placed, so as to instruct the people in the palace to find his whereabouts.
It is really not easy to find someone in so many alleys.
Du Xia and several other secret guards jumped up to the front of the house, and searched from courtyard to courtyard.
Yun Ke rode a horse and waited in place.
Not long after, Li Sheng turned around and said, "Go back to the prince, the princess is not in the palace! The guard at the back door said that the princess has left the palace and her whereabouts are unknown."
Yun Ke's heart really sank this time. He only felt his head buzzing, as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer, making him a little dizzy. is blank.
There was a feeling of suffocation in her throat, something really happened to Gu Yuqi.
No wonder he has always been a little restless in the Criminal Department...
"Look for it!" If he guessed right, it must be Wang Yan who sent out the distress signal.
Gu Yuqi's skills are good, and Wang Yan is also one of the top martial artists among the hidden guards. If they are together, the situation may not be so bad.
Yun Ke kept comforting and persuading himself from the bottom of his heart, even though he clearly knew that Wang Yan sent out the first signal, but he didn't have time to send out the second signal, which already indicated that he was in danger.
He is trying his best to think about good things now, and he dare not think about any bad things at all.
If it was possible, Yun Ke couldn't control himself and rushed to Wucheng Bingmasi to borrow someone to search.
Just when Yun Ke was about to go to the princess mansion to borrow a token, he saw a blue signal rising.
With excitement in his heart, he rode his horse and chased in the direction of the blue signal.
That's the information to find people.
Just approaching the courtyard, Yun Ke's nose faintly smelled a faint smell of blood, and his heart suddenly clenched into a ball.
He didn't know how he climbed over the high wall, and how he fell in the middle of the courtyard. When he fixed his eyes on Wang Yan, who was lying in a pool of blood and covered in injuries, his eyes darkened slightly.
"Where's Gu Yuqi!" He tried his best to keep his voice calm, but the trembling ending had already betrayed the fear and sorrow in his heart.
"The concubine has not been found yet." Du Xia cupped his hands and said slowly.
His voice was also icy cold.
Before Yun Ke got married, he was given a task. He just came back yesterday, and he hadn't come to remember seeing Gu Yuqi, who had become Prince An's side concubine. Now he got this kind of bad news.
He understood that the prince deliberately sent him away.
The prince didn't want him to watch Gu Yuqi enter the palace and become a princess.
"Go back to the lord, he's not dead yet." Du Xia said to Yun Ke, his subordinates had already tapped his acupoints to stop the bleeding. "Although there are many wounds on his body, few of them are fatal. The most serious ones are two wounds on his vest. I don't know if he can be saved."
"Save, must be saved!" Yun Ke almost bit his lip and squeezed out his own voice.
"Look around to see if there are any clues." Yun Ke calmed down and tried to calm himself down.
"Yes." Li Sheng went to help the unconscious Wang Yan up. Even Li Sheng felt a slight chill in his heart after this help. Small and large, although the acupuncture points have been tapped, the blood that just flowed has already stained the ground red.
Du Xia dug out the wall and carefully checked the surrounding situation.
