Chapter 237 Dangerous (one update)
Su Rong didn't sleep all day as Feng Ling said, but she woke up when it was time for breakfast.
She walked out of the room and came to the main room, where she saw Feng Ling and Ye Guixue having breakfast, she blinked, "Why didn't anyone call me?"
Feng Ling was startled, "Sister, are you awake?"
Su Rong glared at him, "How long do you think I will sleep?"
Feng Ling scratched her head, "I thought you were going to sleep for a day."
"Not at all." Su Rong yawned, and lazily turned around to wash her face.
Feng Ling hurriedly went to fetch water for her, and the water came back soon. She passed a face towel around her, and said at the same time, "I remember the last time you had too much effort, fainted, and slept for three days."
"Why didn't you tell me how many books I read at that time?" Su Rong rolled her eyes, "Dozens of books."
Feng Ling slapped his head, "I forgot."
Now there are only six books. Although they are ancient and rare books, they are much more complicated, but the number is small, and it is really not enough.
Su Rong wiped his face, threw the face towel on the shelf, turned around and sat down at the table, and asked casually, "Are Zhou Gu and the others still investigating?"
Ye Guixue said in a warm voice: "They investigated the case all night. Not long after they left the mountain, when Feng Ling went to ask for it, Mr. Zhou said that there was no need for breakfast, and he had to hurry and tie people up and rush back to Beijing."
Su Rong asked: "Who was kidnapped?"
"The chief disciple under the abbot's seat forgets customs, Guangzhen, the deacon of the Discipline Hall." Ye Guixue said.
Su Rong paused, then turned to ask Feng Ling, "How many people did Zhou Gu bring to the Great Buddha Temple? How many people did Commander He Tong of the Imperial Guard bring?"
Feng Ling thought for a while and said, "Young Master Zhou has brought more than ten people! Commander He of the Imperial Guard seems to have brought more than ten people too."
Su Rong immediately said: "Don't eat it, quickly lead people to chase, they may be in danger?"
"Huh?" Feng Ling was startled.
Su Rong said solemnly: "What is the identity of the first disciple of the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, Wangsu? He is the successor of the future abbot. Who can let him take this risk to participate in this case? And the deacon of the precept hall, who is in charge of the precepts of hundreds of monks in the entire Great Buddha Temple, knows better than anyone what happened. People must not go fast, and the news that they came here to investigate the case cannot be concealed, not only that, but anyone involved should pay close attention to them, someone in Beijing will definitely get the news that they kidnapped someone back to Beijing in advance. If you, would you let people go back alive?"
Feng Ling immediately dropped the chopsticks, "I'll go right away."
He rushed out of the door in a few steps, took half of the hidden guards, and hurried out of the Great Buddha Temple.
After he left, Su Rong seriously explained to Ye Guixue, "Although Zhou Gu and I have broken off the engagement, we will not cut off contact with Duke Huguo's Mansion. I don't want Zhou Gu to have an accident."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Xiao Qi doesn't need to explain, you always do what you want, you have your own reasons for doing things, don't be bound by me, just do what you want."
Su Rongxiao, "I'm afraid you will care, so you should explain everything clearly. Since I accepted your dowry, I will definitely not do anything wrong with you."
Ye Guixue smiled, "You are a princess, so what does it matter if you are self-willed?"
Su Rong laughed and shook her head, "So what about the princess? Are you going to try to torture people's hearts unscrupulously? I can't do that."
Ye Guixue nodded, smiled gently, "Okay, I understand, it's Guixue's luck that Xiao Qi is so honest."
The corners of Su Rong's mouth curled up, "Let's eat, after we finish eating, let's go out and have a look at that divine locust tree."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Gu didn't even eat breakfast. After a busy night, he immediately kidnapped people and rushed back to Beijing, just because he was afraid that some people in Beijing would find out in advance and cause trouble. Therefore, without delaying for a moment, after leaving the Great Buddha Temple, he and He Zheng immediately rode horses and set off for Beijing.
He personally tied Wangsu and Ziye tied Guangzhen on the back of his horse, and the two of them rode so fast that the bumpy faces of the two monks almost turned gray.
After traveling for about fifty miles, a group of black-clothed men suddenly rushed out from both sides of the official road, armed with swords. There were a hundred of them, and they stopped Zhou Gu and the others.
Zhou Gu's heart sank. He knew that it would not be so easy to tie these two people back to Beijing. He pulled out the sword Shuanghan from his waist, and immediately threw out a sword light, killing the man in black in front of him with one sword. With the death order, he is determined to risk his life, and he will also kill Wang Su and Guang Zhen, even if he doesn't hesitate to kill Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu left the capital in a hurry and only brought a dozen or so guards out of the capital. He Zheng did the same. He only selected a dozen or so trustworthy guards to follow, and the rest stayed in the capital. Now the combined forces of the two parties are no more than twenty, and there are hundreds of men in black.
This kind of dead man will never give up until he achieves his goal.
He Zheng shouted with a pale face, "Zhou Gu, you go first!"
Zhou Gu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. If he could leave, he would naturally go first with Wang Su tied up, but the dead on the other side were five times as many as they were, and they almost surrounded them.
But he is not a coward, so it is naturally impossible for him to hand over people and let them kill him without even resisting.
He only hoped that the crown prince would get news in Beijing and send someone to meet him, as long as he could last.
He Zheng and the members of the imperial guards are naturally not as good as Zhou Gu, Zi Ye, and the Jingwei of the Huguo Gongfu. Zhou Gu's Jingwei all practiced martial arts with him since he was a child, and they cooperated tacitly. The members of the imperial guards are mostly the children of officials. Of course, their martial arts are good, but they can't be compared with anyone.
So, He Zheng and more than a dozen members of the imperial guards were the first to die, while Zhou Gu and Ziye, because they were protecting Wangsu and Guangzhen who were **** behind them, didn't last long, and Zhou Gu and Ziye were also injured at the same time.
After Zhou Gu was hit by a sword on his right arm, he immediately switched the sword to his left hand, and the sword in his left hand also moved smoothly unexpectedly, beheading two dead soldiers.
The guards couldn't hold on any longer and fell one after another. He Zheng gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold on. Seeing that Zhou Gu was in danger, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Zhou Gu, you go first, don't worry about the people behind the horse, go!"
Young Master Zhou of Duke Huguo's Mansion, followed him to investigate the case. If he died here today, it would be a catastrophe.
Therefore, he would rather lose Wangsu and Guangzhen, and let Zhou Gu be safe and sound, otherwise, even if he lives, he will die.
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth, the prince's **** hasn't arrived yet, either he didn't get the news immediately, or he was stopped by someone, thinking that he is really going to die here today? For such two monks, die here?
He naturally didn't want to die here just like this. If he died because of this, he would first be sorry for the hard work his grandfather had spent on him, as well as his grandmother, his mother, brothers and sisters, and... even Su Rong who broke off the engagement with him.
He thought of Su Rong, reluctantly untied Wang Su who was **** immediately, and immediately threw it on the dirt **** beside the official road. He threw it so far that there was only a "bang", Wang Su's body fell heavily on the ground, and he fell unconscious immediately.
As he threw Wang Su out, Zi Ye also threw Guang Zhen out casually, in the opposite direction from Wang Su, and there was another "bang", and Guang Zhen also passed out.
Zhou Gu and Zi Ye freed their hands, Zhou Gu said "Let's go!", but before he could finish his sentence, everyone in black was approaching with swords, obviously he had no intention of letting him go.
Zhou Gu understood now that no matter if these people could kill Wangsu and Guangzhen, it seemed that he was going to kill him, not only for those two people, but also for him.
He's face changed, and one of them couldn't dodge in time, and was stabbed in the waist again. He fell off the horse, his body wobbled, and he was almost unable to stand still.
Zhou Gu twitched his hand, turned around, landed in front of He Zheng, and saved him with a sword casually.
He Zheng didn't have time to say thank you, and several more sword lights came, and he shouted, "Zhou Gu, you go, leave me alone."
How could Zhou Gu go by himself? After killing a man in black, he took his sword, endured the sword wound on his right arm, and used the sword with both hands to kill a few more people in an instant.
Seeing that Zhou Gu refused to leave, He Zheng also gritted his teeth and drew his sword to deal with the men in black surrounding them.
For a moment, swords, swords and swords, blood rushing to the sky, either you die, or I live, killing in a daze.
Feng Ling and his men chased him all the way, and chased him for fifty miles. He thought he came fast enough, but he didn't expect that Zhou Gu, He Zheng and others would be so dangerous after only half the breakfast was delayed.
He thought it was dangerous, thinking that fortunately his master is smart and predicts things like a god, and thought of the danger of young master Zhou returning to the capital, so he sent him here to deal with this danger. If he came a little later, Zhou Gu's life might be in danger.
He came to the front, flew off the horse, first swung his sword to save Zhou Gu, then turned around and saved Zi Ye, and then he threw out a few golden needles, instantly felling more than a dozen men in black, and solved the crisis of Zhou Gu, He Zheng, and Zi Ye all at once.
He Zheng was startled. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Feng Ling who had come to rescue them. He suspected that his eyes were blurred. He didn't seem to understand how Feng Ling killed more than a dozen black-clothed soldiers in the blink of an eye just now.
Zhou Gu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the person who came to rescue him was Feng Ling. He pursed the corners of his mouth and said nothing.
Following Feng Ling's arrival, the dark guards brought by him turned into a siege instantly, surrounding the dead man in black, and the situation reversed instantly, and now the dead man in black was besieged and killed instead.
