It was completely expected by Chu Jihan and Chu Luoye that the Yang family would take action at this time. After the emperor's whereabouts in Daming Mansion were exposed, they speculated that Prince Jing would never let go of this opportunity.
Originally, Chu Luoye had been a idle prince since the emperor ascended the throne and was no longer involved in matters in the court. After all, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger.
Although the emperor trusts him now and does not doubt anything, people will always change, especially when sitting in the position of the emperor, he is the most suspicious. Who can guarantee that after five or ten years, the emperor will still think that he will not He coveted the throne, so Chu Luoye retreated and lived in seclusion.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Mingxi was with the emperor this time, he wouldn't have gotten involved in these things, and he also knew that the emperor brought Gu Mingxi here with him in order to get the two of them involved and borrow their power. To restrain Prince Jing’s power.
But he and Gu Mingxi couldn't say 'no' yet, because even if they were unwilling to set foot in the court, it was decided from the moment they lined up with Chu Luojue that they were tied to the same boat as the emperor.
As long as the emperor is on the throne, it depends on their luck whether they can stay safe for the rest of their lives, but if Prince Jing gains power, there will be absolutely no way for them to survive.
Chu Jihan and Chu Luoye were both very good at concealing their auras, so even though the secret guards of the Yang family were hiding not far from them, they were still not discovered.
The main reason is preconceptions. People from the Yang family are keeping an eye on the outside of the courtyard. If there is someone hiding outside, they will definitely find it. The secret guards thought this, and when they came over, they assumed that no one would be hidden here. The Assassination Emperor was nervous and did not dare to make much movement, so he did not search inch by inch.
The movement outside was not hidden from Su Ningxin and the others in the yard, and they were facing the situation outside as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
For such a big thing as assassinating the emperor, as long as you take action, you can only succeed and not fail. Once the Yang family makes a decision, they must try their best. Even if they are well prepared, it is still not easy for them to escape unscathed.
"Do you understand the plan? Everything will go according to plan." Gu Mingxi held the dagger and warned, mainly to Lin Yue.
Now that we were in this situation, Gu Mingxi didn't hide anything from Lin Yue and directly told her the identities of herself and Su Ningxin's secret guards.
Lin Yue was very surprised at first, but soon looked at Su Ningxin with a look of realization, "When I was in the palace, I always felt that the stone pier I used to practice my arm strength had been touched, but I didn't think anyone was okay. If you move it, it must be your own misunderstanding. Now that I think about it, it couldn’t have been you who moved it, right?”
Lin Yue's words made Gu Mingxi and Su Ningxin laugh. It was really their fault. They had made a bet out of boredom in the palace, and the loser would go to the martial arts training ground in Concubine Yu's courtyard to lift the stone pier.
"Are you okay with water? Don't you really drown by then?" Su Ningxin changed the subject.
This trick really worked for Lin Yue, and she immediately said proudly, "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem."
"Be careful." Su Ningxin said and blew out the lamp, making others think that the emperor had just fallen asleep.
The three people waited in the dark for a while, and sure enough they heard the rustling noise outside, and then saw a scene that would inevitably appear in Jianghu dramas. A hole was poked out of the window by a slender bamboo tube, and then a wisp of smoke blew out. Come in.
Gu Mingxi had expected this situation. She had given Lin Yue and Su Ningxin various medicines in advance, including poison-inhibiting medicine and healing medicine, which would definitely increase the survival rate of the trio.
Although Gu Mingxi's martial arts is powerful, what she is best at is her poison-curing skills. After all, when she was trapped in the time cycle, she spent almost half of her time studying medical poisons, which made her medical skills unparalleled in the world. People can excel.
The main reason is that for Gu Mingxi, who is stuck in a time loop, only medical poison is the most efficient attack method. She also wants to practice martial arts. After all, she has so much time, but this kind of thing that requires physical training over a long period of time is not enough every day. It is cleared as soon as you open your eyes, but the knowledge stored in your mind still has a high return rate.
Looking at the smoke blowing in, Su Ningxin gestured to Gu Mingxi and walked over. The wind from her palm whizzed by, pushing the smoke back along the bamboo tube.
The secret guard outside who was blowing smoke was choked by the smoke that came back, his eyes became dim and he fell back.
The person following him didn't realize it at first. When he saw the secret guard falling back, he reached out to help him, but before he could touch him, he was kicked away through the window.
Su Ningxin didn't even bother to open the window and kicked the wooden window open, knocking over the people outside.
As Su Ningxin walked out of the room, Gu Mingxi and Lin Yue followed closely with weapons in hand.
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaieded so many people, the Yang family must have lost all their money. ] Looking at the dozens of secret guards outside, Su Ningxin complained secretly in her heart.
There was a high chance that they and dozens of secret guards would be beaten to death, but it would not be difficult to escape by wandering, so Su Ningxin was not too worried.
The two parties fought each other as soon as they met. Lin Yue used a big sword to spread hatred, attracting most people's attention. Su Ningxin and Gu Mingxi relied on the interplay of moonlight and shadow. , waiting for an opportunity to suddenly appear and harvest human lives.
In fact, the two people can't be said to be hiding. After all, there are dozens of pairs of eyes staring at them. They can hide wherever they can. They just use the timing of the light and dark transition to create a momentary illusion for the enemy in front of them, and then take this opportunity to kill.
The two parties were fighting together. Although there was no shouting or killing, there was still a lot of movement. However, the entire Yang family manor was quiet and no one came. It seemed that the servants had been sent to the Yang family in advance. The scene was cleared. After all, for such a big thing as assassinating the emperor, even the slightest bit of news would be fatal.
The Yang family is probably feeling uneasy, but they have no turning back. As long as they successfully kill the emperor, whether Prince Jing in the capital is justified or forced to seize the throne, as long as they successfully seize the throne, then the Yang family There is still a glimmer of hope. If it works well, it may still be the work of the dragon.
At this time, Yang Xin, the head of the Yang family, was sitting in the lobby of the outer courtyard, his tightly clenched fists showing his unease.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked the steward beside him, "Where is Bodang? Why haven't I seen him yet?"
At this time, outside Gu Mingxi's yard, Chu Jihan was still in the bushes and was a little anxious, "Why don't we go in?"
Although he knew that Su Ningxin's martial arts skills were not inferior to his, he was still worried. He would not even look at a stranger, but if it were his wife, the result would naturally be different.
Chu Luoye waved his hand, "Don't worry, I know their martial arts skills. It's no problem to hold on for a while. We have to appear at the critical moment to appear like gods descending and save them from danger."
Just as he was talking, Chu Luoye saw a black figure jump over the wall from the side and jump into the yard, "I'll go, who is cutting off the beard!"
