Chapter 62 Assassination

Xie Anci said goodbye to everyone around him and set off on his way back.

Since he was not in a hurry to go back, Xie Anci deliberately slowed down his pace. Gu Lingyu had no objection to this.

During this time, Xie Anci also reported the situation in Nancheng to Li Jinchen, but all the letters fell into the sea and never received a reply.

The weather was still gloomy.

Everyone had a gloomy face and looked listless.

"Prince Regent, there is an inn ahead. It's getting late today. Why don't we stay there again and set off again tomorrow." The guide said while pulling the horse.

"That's it." Xie Anci got off the carriage. There were still nearly five days to go to the capital, so he was not in a hurry.

Gu Lingyu and Xie Anci attracted everyone's attention the moment they entered the inn.

One of them was handsome, the other was beautiful, and anyone who saw them wanted to take a few more glances to refresh their eyes.

Xie Anci was not surprised by this, but the few people sitting in the corner of the lobby caught his attention.

The four people in the corner were wearing ordinary coarse cloth short clothes. When they came in, they didn't look surprised like the others, but greedy. They

looked like they were looking at prey.

"Waiter, bring two rooms upstairs." Gu Lingyu shouted.

"Okay, guests." The waiter saw that this group of people were either rich or noble, and hurried over to greet them.

Gu Lingyu hated the eyes that fell on Xie Anci, so he pulled Xie Anci upstairs.

The four men talked in low voices, occasionally looking at Xie Anci and Gu Lingyu with their eyes flashing.

Xie Anci glanced at them and kept a wary eye on them.

"Anci, what are you looking at?" Gu Lingyu noticed Xie Anci's absent-mindedness.

"Nothing, let's go." Xie Anci said perfunctorily.

Xie Anci and Gu Lingyu lived next door.

Perhaps Xie Anci was too suspicious, because nothing happened until the evening, and those sneaky people had left long ago.

Gu Lingyu accompanied Xie Anci for dinner and then returned to his room.

The winter night was cold and quiet, and there were almost no people on the streets at the hour of Xu.

Xie Anci also curled up in the quilt and read by lamplight at night.

A faint smoke drifted into the room from the paper window. Xie Anci felt his head getting heavier and his breathing became difficult.

"Cough cough cough..." Xie Anci covered his mouth and coughed lightly. He turned his head and saw two figures outside the window struggling with something.

"Who!?" Xie Anci shouted angrily, and the two people outside the window ran away in fear.

"Cough cough..." Xie Anci stood up and grabbed the Yilan Sword on the table and was about to chase them, but suddenly the world spun around.

"Puff... cough cough cough..." Xie Anci knelt on one knee, and a bloody mist appeared in front of his eyes.

Oh no!

This mist is poisonous!

Xie Anci suddenly felt as if his body was run over by a carriage, and the pain almost suffocated him.

Gu Lingyu heard the noise and ran over and knocked on Xie Anci's door.

"Xie Anci! What's wrong with you? What happened?" Gu Lingyu's voice was urgent.

Xie Anci took a deep breath and shouted, "Don't come in!" He

almost fainted after taking a breath.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Gu Lingyu knocked on the door, but Xie Anci locked it, so he had to kick it open.

"Cough cough cough..." Xie Anci got up with difficulty.

Is he going to die here today?

Xie Anci didn't know who wanted to buy his life.

After all, there were too many people who disliked him.

Suddenly he thought of the detoxification pill Pei Xuan had given him before he came. With the idea of ​​trying everything possible, Xie Anci took out the detoxification pill from his lapel and put it in his mouth.

The cool pill immediately went deep into his throat, and Xie Anci felt a coolness spreading through his body, relieving some of the pain.

Xie Anci used all his strength to open the window.

The poisonous mist in the room was blown away by the cold wind, and instantly there was no trace.

At the same time, Gu Lingyu finally kicked the door open, and his heart suddenly tightened when he saw Xie Anci leaning against the window with a pale face and blood all over the ground.

"Xie Anci, what's wrong with you? Is there an assassin? Where are you injured?" Gu Lingyu rushed over and supported Xie Anci.

Gu Lingyu was a little angry. Why didn't Xie Anci call him when he encountered the assassin? And told him not to come in. Did he like to show off so much?

Xie Anci shook his head and said weakly: "I'm fine. I was poisoned just now."

"Poisoned? What's wrong with you? I'll go find a doctor!" Gu Lingyu was about to find someone, and Xie Anci quickly stopped him.

"No need to find a doctor, the poison has been detoxified." Xie Anci shook his head lightly.

"How did you detoxify?" Gu Lingyu frowned, very worried about Xie Anci.

"I just happened to have a detoxification pill." Xie Anci did not tell Gu Lingyu the origin of the detoxification pill.

He was really alive thanks to Pei Xuan, Xie Anci smiled bitterly.

Gu Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and scanned the room, and found that the teapot and teacup on the table were intact and did not look like they had been moved.

"It was through the smoke." Xie Anci saw Gu Lingyu's confusion and explained.

He stood up with the help of Gu Lingyu, staggered and fell on the chair next to him.

He discovered the smoke in time, and it only came in a little bit.

Just this little bit almost took his life!

Xie Anci covered his chest, and he still felt dull pain when he breathed.

"Who did it?" Gu Lingyu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger.

Xie Anci panted, "I don't know, but they were definitely coming for me."

Gu Lingyu poured Xie Anci a cup of tea, "Did you see where they ran to? I'll chase them!"

"Don't go, it's been too long, we can't catch up." Xie Anci grabbed Gu Lingyu.

"Damn it!" Gu Lingyu slammed the table, "Just let them run away like this? You don't even know who did it?"

Xie Anci leaned back in his chair, the toxins in his body had not been completely cleared, "If they fail this time, they will definitely come again."

"You should live with me, so that you can be taken care of if something happens." Gu Lingyu said worriedly.

Xie Anci shook his head slowly, "No need."

He was not used to living with others.

"It's not up to you." Gu Lingyu carried Xie Anci without saying anything, and turned into his room.

"Gu Lingyu! Put me down!" Xie Anci spit out a mouthful of blood again. It was really uncomfortable to be carried on Gu Lingyu's shoulders, and his head became more dizzy.

Gu Lingyu threw Xie Anci on the bed, "Just sleep here, I won't bother you."

Gu Lingyu said as he prepared the bed and made it on the ground.

Xie Anci looked at Gu Lingyu who was lying on the ground obediently and covered with a quilt and fell silent.

In this case, Xie Anci no longer refused, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and lay down.

The cold wind blew, and the branches rustled.

Both Xie Anci who was lying on the bed and Gu Lingyu who was lying on the ground did not sleep all night.

Xie Anci wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and when he closed his eyes, he could not help but think wildly.

To kill him at this time?

Could it be Li Jinchen?

Xie Anci did not dare to think about it anymore. If it was him, what should he do?
