Chapter 315: Gu Chengyan, how many tricks do you have left?

"Your Highness, the people are gathering outside the yamen, and the momentum is very strong." Cheng Yuan reported the whole story in detail with sweat on his forehead.

Upon hearing this, Prince Su laughed instead of getting angry: "Chu Yan, you are so smart!"

He put down his teacup, a sinister glint in his eyes. "However, these people are so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth that they dare to threaten the government?"

Although he said this, he was secretly afraid in his heart.

In his previous life, after Chu Ang was exposed, he took great pains to take the Chu family's wealth into his pocket.

Father Chu didn't have to die...

"Your Highness, how should we respond?" Cheng Yuan asked carefully.

"Drag!" Gu Chengyan's eyes flashed coldly, "If the situation gets serious, we'll arrest a few people and make an example of them, understand?"

He looked at Cheng Yuan meaningfully and said, "If you handle this matter properly, you will be rewarded handsomely in the future."

Cheng Yuan kowtowed quickly: "I will live up to your trust, Your Highness."

Deep in the sky prison, Chu Ruohan sat leaning against the wall, but there was no trace of decadence in her eyes.

"Young Madam!" A familiar voice came from outside the prison door.

Qin Fang spent a lot of money before sneaking in and quickly told Chu Ruohan what happened outside.

After hearing this, Chu Ruohan frowned slightly.

Although my father's actions could temporarily suppress public opinion, they also pushed the Chu family to the forefront and directly confronted Prince Su.

"Father, this is too risky," she said softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Seeing this, Qin Fang hurriedly said, "Young Madam, don't worry too much. I have some good news."

"General Gu's journey is faster than expected. He will arrive in the capital tomorrow at the latest!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ruohan's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.

Junze is back and everything has turned around.

"Got it." She calmed herself down. "As for Chen, you must send someone to look after her children. Don't let anything happen to them."

"Yes, don't worry, young madam." Qin Fang agreed.

"Also," Chu Ruohan added, "Tell the people outside to be patient and not to conflict with the government. Everything should be settled after Junze returns."

Qin Fang took the order and left quietly.

After seeing Qin Fang off, Chu Ruohan felt a little relieved, but soon she noticed something was wrong.

The jailer Wang, who was usually in charge of guarding her, disappeared and was replaced by an unfamiliar jailer.

When lunch was served, the food was still plentiful, but when Chu Ruohan took a closer look, her expression changed slightly.

These dishes are fine when taken individually, but when eaten together, they are a big taboo for pregnant women and can easily lead to miscarriage.

Fortunately, she had consulted Dr. Qian about the dietary restrictions for pregnant women, and she could tell at a glance that the foods in the bowl were incompatible.

She sneered in her heart. Gu Chengyan really couldn't hold back and was about to attack the child in her belly.

Since he wanted her to have an "accidental miscarriage", she would play along and see how many tricks he had up his sleeve.

On the official road, smoke and dust rose slightly, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground regularly revealed the dullness of a long journey.

Still a hundred miles away from the capital, Gu Junze's team was moving forward at a steady speed.

Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard from the woods on both sides.

Dozens of poisoned arrows, like black venomous snakes, tore through the air and headed straight for Gu Junze in the center of the team.

"Protect the General!"

The guard roared and drew his sword to block instantly.

Almost at the same time as the rain of arrows fell, dozens of black shadows rushed out from the forest, with clear goals and murderous intent, heading straight for Gu Junze.

These "bandits" are agile, have good coordination, and use ruthless moves. They are definitely not ordinary bandits.

Gu Junze sat upright on his horse with a stern expression.

He didn't even look at the attacking shadows, but scanned the surrounding environment sharply.

"Shadow Guard!"

He ordered in a deep voice.

Several faster figures separated from Gu Junze's personal guards.

Like a drop of ink blending into the night, it silently faced the group of "bandits".

Gu Junze raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This group of people are agile and ruthless, unlike ordinary bandits.

The fact that he can compete with the Shadow Guard shows the power of the person behind him.

The short and fierce fight ended quickly.

The assassin's body was lying all over the ground, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Several shadow guards also suffered minor injuries and were being treated quickly.

Only one person was captured alive, and he was pinned to the ground by two shadow guards, unable to move.

Gu Junze dismounted and walked steadily to the assassin, looking down at him.

The assassin was covered in wounds, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but he raised his head, his eyes full of defiance and mockery.

Gu Junze's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.

"Who sent you?"

A strange laugh broke out from the assassin's throat, like the rumbling of a broken bellows.

"hehe……"

He panted and stared at Gu Junze.

"The Emperor has ordered..."

"General Gu... is not allowed... to enter the capital..."

Before he could finish his words, the assassin gritted his teeth.

A slight cracking sound was heard.

Black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his head drooped weakly, and the light in his eyes quickly faded.

The shadow guard stepped forward, sniffed his breath, and shook his head at Gu Junze.

"General, it's a poison sac hidden in the teeth."

"Brother, didn't we do something meritorious? Why would the emperor send assassins?" Gu Cheng'an was puzzled.

Gu Junze's face was as gloomy as water, with a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, and no emotion could be seen.

"Fake."

He snorted in his heart, but remained expressionless.

"Collect the body and check for any clues."

"yes."

The shadow guards acted quickly, carefully examining each assassin's body, hoping to find more useful information.

Although this sudden assassination was quickly suppressed, it undoubtedly delayed the journey.

More importantly, this clearly indicated that the storm in the capital had begun and was directed directly at him.

Gu Junze looked up in the direction of the capital, his eyes icy cold.

At the same time, in Prince Su’s Mansion.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

The delicate porcelain was thrown to the ground with a sharp shattering sound.

Prince Su's face turned pale, his eyes burning with anger.

The death squad that has been carefully trained for many years is still no match for the shadow guards!

"Your Highness, please calm down." The confidant lowered his head.

A woman dressed in Miao costume walked in gracefully with light lotus steps.

She has a pretty face, but there is an elusive gloom between her eyebrows.

"You haven't done your job well and have made your master so angry. Why don't you get out of here right now?"

Prince Su glanced at her, his anger subsided a little, but his tone was still cold.

"How's it going?"

Miao Nu's mouth curled up slightly, and her voice was gentle, "Everything is ready. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get what you want."

Prince Su was very satisfied and nodded slightly, "I will arrange for you to enter the palace in a few days..."
