Chapter 175 Counterattack

Chu Wuxun has been silently concerned about Jiang Yueyao's situation.

Seeing that the official from the Ministry of Rites seemed to have lost his mind and was acting like a madman, he immediately went to protect Jiang Yueyao.

But I didn't expect that the Beiliang people would suddenly interrupt me halfway.

With Chu Wuxun's vision, he could naturally see that the Beiliang man was pushed by someone.

But the timing was so coincidental, as if it had been calculated.

He was the crazy official from the Ministry of Rites and also part of the other party's scheme.

The opponent's first target should not be Jiang Yueyao, but that Beiliang man.

If the officials of Da Chu killed the envoys of Beiliang in public, they would definitely be at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations.

What was originally a 10-point benefit may become 9 points or even 8 points.

And every bit of benefit negotiated between nations represents an endless resource.

The more Beiliang pays, the longer it will take to recover and rise, and the more opportunities it will leave for Da Chu.

Chu Wuxun understood the true meaning of this scene almost instantly.

But Jiang Yueyao must also be protected.

At that moment, Chu Wuxun reached out to pull Jiang Yueyao, preparing to pull her behind him to protect her.

The other hand had already grasped the soft sword at his waist.

It all happened in a flash.

"Buzz."

As soon as the soft sword was unsheathed, it was going to stab the wrist of the crazy official from the Ministry of Rites who was holding the dagger.

But...

Chu Wuxun saw through the whole story before taking action, and other people also took action at the same time.

A ruthless look flashed in the eyes of the Beiliang Third Prince Dugu Bo, and he shouted "be careful" as he rushed towards Jiang Yueyao. It seemed that he wanted to protect Jiang Yueyao, but in fact he blocked the retreat of the Beiliang man who was about to fall, allowing him to face the dagger at a faster speed.

However, Dugu Bo's open hand just blocked the direction of Chu Wuxun's sword.

It was obvious that Dugu Bo had made up his mind to use the life of this member of the Beiliang delegation in exchange for a slight advantage in the negotiations.

While Dugu Bo was moving, an official from the Ministry of Rites of Da Chu also shouted "No!" and rushed towards the crazy Dong Nian.

The strangest thing is that Chu Wuxun and Dugu Bo are both masters of martial arts.

But the civil servant from the Ministry of Rites of the Chu State was actually a bit quicker than them.

He grabbed Dong Nian's hand that was holding the dagger, and then suddenly turned it around.

He narrowly avoided the Beiliang delegation.

Just when everyone had no time to breathe a sigh of relief or feel disappointed.

"laugh!!"

Dong Nian's dagger actually drew a circle in the air and stabbed the chest of one of the people from the Ministry of Rites behind him.

"Well……"

An official from the Ministry of Rites who was standing among the group of people watching the show: …

As luck would have it, this person was the official from the Ministry of Rites who had met Dugu Yanran alone before.

He is also an important chess piece planted by Beiliang in the inner part of Da Chu.

The other party looked at the dagger on his chest, his eyes filled with surprise, confusion and pain.

Is he going to die?

This was clearly the setup I set, why did it turn out like this?

"Chen Ge, Chen Ge!!"

The person who was originally on good terms with this official from the Ministry of Rites quickly supported Chen Ge's body as it slowly fell backwards.

A terrified cry rang in Chen Ge's ears, and then slowly became distant.

Chen Ge knew that this was a sign of his impending death.

"Why?"

After saying this last sentence, Chen Ge slowly closed his eyes.

At the last moment of his life, he still couldn't figure it out.

It was clearly a trap set by him. He wanted to use the officials of the Ministry of Rites to kill the members of the Beiliang delegation in order to create a more advantageous position for Beiliang.

But in the end, the chess piece he arranged did move, but the dagger eventually pierced his own chest.

Why is this happening?

What went wrong?

The process may seem long, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye.

Those who were slow to react still had smiles on their faces, but in the blink of an eye, their colleagues fell to the ground and died.

"ah!!!"

The scream was a little delayed, but finally it sounded.

"Silent!"

Chu Wuxun gave a low shout, and immediately the officials from the Ministry of Rites who had been screaming dared not make a sound anymore.

"Alang, Ayi, take good care of your colleagues in the Ministry of Rites and the Beiliang delegation."

Xue Lang and Xue Yi responded immediately.

Having been with the prince for such a long time, they knew very well what the prince meant by taking good care of them.

At that moment, one of them led the people from the Ministry of Rites to the left, and the other led the people from Beiliang to the right.

The first thing to do is to separate these two groups of people to prevent anyone from being 'careless' and 'accidentally' killing someone.

While Xue Lang and Xue Yi were taking the people away, Chu Wuxun had already controlled Dong Nian.

At this moment, Dong Nian was obviously a little bit abnormal.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was making hoarse sounds from his mouth. He looked like he had completely lost his mind.

Chu Wuxun knocked Dong Nian unconscious with a single blow of his hand.

After this incident happened, Chu Wuxiang saw the reactions of several people.

Even if he doesn't say he knows everything, he can still guess about 80% of what everyone is thinking.

Chu Wuxian was only very confused as to why Dong Nian behaved like this.

As for the outcome of this matter...

Chu Wuxun glanced at the dead Chen Ge.

Although he felt somewhat relieved that the person who died was not a member of the Beiliang delegation, Chu Wuxun still had anger burning in his eyes when an official from the Ministry of Rites died right in front of him.

only……

[Chen Ge? Why does this name sound familiar? ]

[Let this fairy think about it]

[Oh my god, I figured it out! Isn't this the lackey who followed Dugu Yanran until the (finale) ***? ]

[If I remember correctly, this person seems to be a traitor from Da Chu who was hired by Beiliang]

[This is not a good person. If he dies, he dies.]

[No matter how many traitors like this die, I will applaud]

Chu Wuxun: ...

Well, it turns out this guy is a traitor.

Wait, if he remembered correctly, this Chen Ge once left Zuixianlou, and Dugu Yanran happened to go out to change clothes at that time.

If this person was originally a traitor of Da Chu who was hired by Bei Liang, then the two of them should have been discussing something alone outside just now.

Combined with Chen Ge's look of doubt before his death.

Could it be that today's scene was actually designed by Chen Ge?

Originally, they wanted to have the Ministry of Rites kill a member of the Beiliang delegation.

This will change the current situation where Beiliang is suppressed by Da Chu and has no room for resistance in the negotiations.

However, Chen Ge probably did not expect that things would turn out differently. The one who died was not the members of the Beiliang delegation, but himself.

In just a moment, Chu Wuxun connected everything together based on the information he received.

Even the dispute between Dugu Yanran and Jiang Yueyao at the beginning was part of the plan of these two people.

Then Dong Nian's sudden madness might be related to Chen Ge.

Bu Chengge should not have such ability, but it has something to do with Dugu Yanran.

Chu Wuxun instantly thought of the night banquet in the imperial palace when Dugu Yanran's dance was so enchanting that he had no idea how many people were bewildered by her.
