Chapter 377 Killer
Prince Yu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, this is the marriage that Jun Yuan arranged when he was a child. Ye Hanyan, the daughter of Ning'an Marquis, has the support of the Ye family army, so Yuan'er will not lose out."
"Yeah." Princess Yu gradually relaxed and recalled the past.
In order to drive Jun Ling away, Prince Yu hired someone to disguise him as Jun Yunting, making Jun Ling mistakenly believe that she was bullied by Jun Yunting.
Jun Ling was also a filial child. She picked up a sword and was about to kill Jun Yunting, but was stopped by her husband.
Later, when Jun Ling went out to play, Prince Yu chased him, but the little boy escaped from Da Xia with two guards, went to Da Chu, and became a powerful tutor.
After all, Jun Ling was raised by her. Princess Yu felt guilty and grabbed Prince Yu's hand and said, "Can you not kill him?"
Prince Yu comforted her, "Don't be sad. I know you are reluctant to let him go after raising him. I will make his death easier."
Princess Yu knew that she could not persuade Prince Yu, so she gave up.
For the sake of her biological son, she had no choice but to sacrifice Jun Ling.
......
Chu Li had been on the throne for a month and had been handling state affairs conscientiously.
Each department implemented the new policy, and the Great Chu State was completely transformed.
Wherever Chu Li went, he could see faces that were either respectful, fearful, or fawning. So this is what it feels like to be an emperor.
On the other side, Ye Hanting was on his way back from visiting his old members of the Brave Army. He passed by an inn and rested for a night so that he could continue his journey the next day.
A crescent moon hung in the sky like a hook, casting a thin and eerie light.
A group of people dressed in night clothes, their faces hidden behind masks, moved silently through the woods.
They sneaked into the inn quietly.
Ye Hanting, who had just fallen asleep, heard the noise outside. His ears moved and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Several arrows filled with kerosene were shot into the room.
"Master, be careful!" Lan Yi killed a killer who was besieging him with one sword. Ye Hanting drew the sword beside the bed and went out.
The killers' moves were brutal and ruthless, and every move was aimed at killing Ye Hanting.
They also have the advantage in numbers.
In an instant, Ye Hanting fell into a passive position.
However, another wave of people soon arrived, each of them wearing black clothes and a gold belt around their waist.
Chi Yan used his sword to block the assassin's attack. When he saw the man in black, he shouted, "Master, you go first!"
Ye Hanting stabbed the killer's heart with a sword, pulled out the sword, and looked at the men in black.
Their attire reminded him of the Black and Gold Guards' attire.
However, the Black Gold Guards were left to the Emperor's grandmother by his grandfather, so how could they have come to Da Chu?
Chi Yan was panting. It would have been fine if there were only those masked killers on the opposite side.
These new arrivals dressed in black seemed to be more difficult for the other party.
Unexpectedly, those men in black kept slitting the throat of the masked killer with extremely quick movements, almost killing him with one strike.
Chi Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
It seems that he is one of us!
Suddenly, he heard a woman's voice, "Brother Jun Ling!"
Chi Yan was about to cry.
Ahhh, isn’t this the voice of the unruly Princess Jun Yaohua?
Ye Hanting looked in the direction of the voice. Why was Jun Yaohua here?
Then these secret guards with high martial arts skills must be the Black Gold Guards.
It seems that Yaohua did not listen to him and told the Empress Dowager about his affairs in the Great Chu Kingdom.
Those masked killers were also startled when they heard Jun Yaohua's voice. Someone from Daxia came to rescue Jun Ling.
I'm afraid the task assigned by Prince Yu cannot be completed today.
The leader shouted, "Retreat!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Hanting's secret guards blocked their way.
"Catch them alive!" As soon as Ye Hanting finished speaking, the killers fought back and began to flee in all directions.
The remaining killers were surrounded by Ye Hanting's secret guards, and the leader blew the whistle.
All the killers bit down the poison that had been hidden in their mouths.
Chi Yan picked up the torch and looked at the dead killers on the ground, not a single one was alive.
Jun Yaohua, who was dressed as a man, came to Ye Hanting's side and asked nervously: "Brother Jun Ling, are you not hurt?"
"It's okay." Ye Hanting looked at Jun Yaohua worriedly, "You're getting bolder and bolder. Did you come here secretly?"
Jun Yaohua answered confidently, "It was the Empress Dowager who was worried about you and asked me to come."
"You're lying." Ye Hanting pointed at the injured Lan Yi and Chi Yan.
"Even they are both injured. I am in the open while the enemy is in the dark. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
He lowered his voice and said, "You sneaked into Da Chu secretly. If you were mistaken for a spy, do you know how dangerous it would be?"
If something happened to Jun Yaohua in Da Chu, how would he explain it to the Empress Dowager?
Jun Yaohua looked at Ye Hanting. Even though he was angry and mean to her, he was just genuinely worried about her safety.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, your Chu Li won't treat me as a spy!"
Ye Hanting looked at her helplessly.
Lan Yi came to report, "Master, judging from the killers' appearance, they are all from Daxia. There are no survivors. They all committed suicide by taking poison. They have all been stabbed and their bodies disposed of."
Jun Yaohua crossed his arms and said proudly, "Brother, I told you, luckily I'm here."
Ye Hanting sighed, "Let's go, let's hurry to the next post station, I'll take you back to the capital tomorrow."
Jun Yaohua followed Ye Hanting happily. Why was she a little excited when she thought about going to the capital?
When she arrived at the post station, she handed a letter to one of the Black Gold Guards and gave him instructions.
"Take this letter back to your father and tell him that I have arrived in Da Chu and will be back soon."
"Yes." The Black Gold Guard went to do it immediately.
Princess Yaohua rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window at the sky which was gradually getting brighter.
She left a letter for her father when she left. I guess her father must have been worried.
However, if the emperor knew that she had helped Brother Jun Ling, he would probably praise her.
The next day, Ye Hanting returned to the capital with Jun Yaohua and the elusive Black Gold Guards.
Ye Hanting sat in the carriage with gloomy eyes. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became about the safety of Chu Li and the children. These people were obviously coming for him.
I don’t know whether the mastermind behind this will send people to lurk in Da Chu, waiting to take action against him.
In order not to implicate Chu Li and the children, he took the initiative to move out from next door to Chu Li and returned to the Taifu Mansion.
Jun Yaohua also settled down in the Taifu Mansion.
Ye Hanting asked her, "You told the Imperial Grandmother about me, right? Is she okay?"
Jun Yaohua lowered her eyes, "Yes, she misses you very much. Actually, there is one thing I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. The Royal Grandmother has been blind since the year you disappeared."
"What did you say?"
