Chapter 423 Let go of Madam
In front of Mu Yun's eyes, there were two groups of men in black fighting. One group was assassins who threw plum blossom darts at people in the courtyard, and the other group was secret guards hiding in secret corners of the villa.
Chu Yihu was beside Mu Yun and Gao Ningxin, holding a sharp sword and hitting the plum blossom darts that were constantly thrown into the courtyard.
"Madam, Miss Gao, hide in the house quickly!"
Mu Yun had this plan, but she and Gao Ningxin were still a few steps away from the nearest Wanchun Courtyard. After taking two steps under the protection of Chu Yi, they were jumped out of thin air by a masked man in black. People blocked the way.
The man in black was dressed in an extremely strange way, with black cloth covering his entire face tightly, except for the cloth around his eyes, which was obviously different and seemed to be a layer of transparent gauze.Mu Yun and Gao Ningxin were both frightened by the strange person in front of them, but their throats were too nervous and scared to scream.
Without saying a word, the man in black took out a black object from his arms and threw it in front of them.Even though Chu Yi reacted quickly, the smoke ball exploded even faster. Mu Yun's whole body was instantly enveloped in thick white and pungent smoke. She closed her eyes tightly and tried her best to cover her mouth and nose to prevent herself from breathing the irritating smoke. , because of the shielding of her senses, Mu Yun felt that time had stopped at this moment.
Until she realized that her wrists were tightly trapped and her body was picked up in the air. Before she could scream, she heard the angry voice of Chu Yi, "Thieves! Let go of the madam! Cough cough cough -"
Mu Yun did not dare to open her eyes and covered her mouth and nose with the corner of her cotton cloak to prevent the smoke from invading her body and harming the fetus in her belly.
An unusually deep voice sounded in my ears: "Bless yourself!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yun heard the sound of two bodies falling to the ground, and she was suddenly shocked. Sure enough, there was poison in the smoke that could cause people to lose consciousness.
Mu Yun wanted to call for help, but she didn't dare to move. The only thing she was thinking about at the moment was the child in her belly. She couldn't let anything happen to her, and she couldn't let anything happen to her children.
The man in black seemed very worried. He drew out his sword and stabbed Chu Yi again. He picked up Gao Ningxin, who had fainted, and held Mu Yun, who was pretending to be faint, in his arms. He raised his head and circled the surrounding area. Condition.
The fire on the hillside increased instead of decreasing, and the thick smoke drifted over the villa in the wind. The entire villa was shrouded in thick black smoke.
All the secret guards in the villa were restrained by the black-clothed assassins at this moment. Even if they were sharp-sighted, they could not penetrate the smoke and see that their wife, at this moment, was being held by a man in black and passed through the fight. The crowd disappeared into the black smoke.
......
Zhuo Lingchu's trip out of the city was extremely difficult.
Because there had just been a massive palace coup in Xingming Palace, the people in the inner city took to the streets to celebrate after learning that the garrison of His Highness the Crown Prince had suppressed the rebellion of the eldest prince by private soldiers.
It is supposed to be a day of joy, but New Year's Eve is really a safe and sound night. If you stay tonight, the coming year will be a smooth one.
Along the way, Zhuo Lingchu not only had to avoid the crowds, but also was always on guard against assassinations from Zhuo Taining's remnants. Fortunately, he was accompanied by hundreds of subordinates, and the city gate admiral Shang Wanyi also followed him with his subordinates. , those Zhuo Taining's henchmen did not expend much energy in cleaning up, but they also wasted some time on the road.Zhuo Lingchu was anxious, his Jun'er was waiting for his rescue, and he couldn't waste any time.
After the road was cleared, Zhuo Lingchu continued to ride his horse on the road.
Beside him was Chu Yi, whose wound had been simply bandaged.Perhaps the smoke confused people's vision. When the man in black struck, although he stabbed Chu Yi in the chest, his sword was deflected and did not hit the vital point.
While the horse was galloping, Zhuo Lingchu ordered Chuyi to tell him what happened in the village.
On the first day of the new year, he started with the spectacular fireworks and told in detail how he was awakened by Xu Feng and Zuo Liang who were driven back and used cold water to wake him up.
When the situation became urgent, Xu Feng and the others tried every method. Only this rough method could make Chu Yi wake up immediately.
Chu Yi felt deeply that he had neglected his duty, and said with a tone of decadence and guilt, "I should not have let most of the guards go to the mountain to put out the fire. I fell into their trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain."
Zhuo Lingchu's face was serious, "I'm afraid they have been preparing for this for a long time. They have already figured out how many people there are in the village. Even if you abandoned the village and fled, you would probably fall into their new trap. By the way, before you Have you ever seen any suspicious people outside the villa?"
Chu Yi answered honestly: "I have found a few nearby villagers recently, but after verification by our people, there is indeed no problem with their identities."
"I'm afraid it's a cover-up." Zhuo Lingchu closed his eyes and said no more.
It's all his fault, because he has been preparing for Zhuo Taining recently and didn't pay attention to the developments in other villages.
"That man in black also used a smoke ball?"
In the side hall of Jinluan Palace, Zhuo Taining also used a smoke ball to escape, but there was no powder that could cause fainting in the smoke ball.Is there any connection between these two smoke balls?Smoke balls, plum blossom darts... Zhuo Lingchu always felt a little familiar.
He must have seen this set of hidden weapons somewhere...
Zhuo Lingchu's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness, because at this moment he thought of a person, a person who had died long ago.
Chu Yi answered Zhuo Lingchu's self-question, "The most disgusting thing is that he also put sweat medicine in the smoke, otherwise I..."
Angry and angry, Chu Yi had just been trying to explain to Zhuo Lingchu what had happened at Biezhuang. At this moment, guilt suddenly flooded into his heart. His eyes suddenly turned black, and his body was shaken by the inertia of the horse underneath him. Lift directly toward the horse's tail.Fortunately, Zhuo Lingchu reined in the reins of the two of them in time, so that Chu Yi did not fall off the horse.
"Send Chu Yi to Baifu for treatment immediately!" Zhuo Lingchu ordered one of his subordinates, clamped his feet on the horse's belly, and continued running towards the north gate.
The gates of Xijing City were extremely heavily guarded tonight. Zhuo Lingchu was running nonstop, raising the token on his waist high. Although the guards did not know Zhuo Lingchu himself, they saw the python pattern on his brocade robe. With the Crown Prince's token in his hand, he quickly pushed open the city gate, fearing that His Highness the Crown Prince's pursuit of the traitor would be delayed.
Everyone thought that Zhuo Lingchu was going to capture Zhuo Taining who had escaped, but Zhuo Lingchu didn't care at all about Zhuo Taining's whereabouts.
In Emperor Rui's heart, Zhuo Taining was already the son who should be beheaded. Now that all his followers have been arrested, what's left are just some lingering wings.
