473. Chapter 473: A Frightened Bird



"Forget it, you'd better not do anything. Leave this matter to me." Although Liu Kuan was anxious, he was still afraid that Chen Chu would mess things up. It was better to be still than to move at this moment. Even if he wanted to do something, he would have a better chance of success if he did it himself. If it were in the past, Liu Kuan would not care about sacrificing Chen Chu, but after this incident, the two of them had become grasshoppers on the same rope. Thinking about protecting such a fool, Liu Kuan felt very bad.

"Just do as I said before, do nothing and don't let anyone catch you." After writing this, Liu Kuan wiped the water stains on the table and lay back down, looking a little out of breath. Although he was just acting this time and didn't hurt any vital parts, he was still seriously injured and he found it difficult to do even the slightest movement.

Chen Chu nodded quickly. In fact, he didn't want to do anything during this period of time. If he was caught, he would be dead. But there was no other way. It would be better if he couldn't do it. After this assassination, Chen Chu had become a frightened bird and felt that he was in danger at any time.

"Captain Liu, you look very unwell. You'd better rest more. I won't disturb you for now." Chen Chu recounted what happened after Liu Kuan left yesterday. After hearing Liu Kuan's words, he felt much more at ease. Thinking that there was nothing to worry about, he said goodbye and left. When he left, he glanced at the place where the black shadow had just flashed.

When Chen Chu left, two groups of people went back to report to their masters, and the other person hid in the dark, carefully observing the movements, but no one else noticed his presence. The master gave him the right to act at his convenience. Although Chen Chu had just gone to Liu Kuan, there was nothing wrong with the conversation, but things must not be that simple. Chen Chu and Liu Kuan must have something fishy going on in private, but he did not get any valuable information, so he should keep a closer eye on Liu Kuan's actions.

This man is a secret guard under Han Yu. He is quite capable and can be considered as one of Han Yu's more useful people, so he was sent to keep an eye on the cunning Liu Kuan.

"You mean Chen Chu went to see Liu Kuan? Did you hear clearly what they said?" Liu Xiu had also trained a team similar to a secret guard, and the people sent this time were from this team. Liu Xiu did not trust Liu Kuan more because Liu Kuan proved his innocence with his death. Instead, he became more suspicious and felt that something was wrong. Especially when Liu Kuan used a weak attitude to guide the generals to stand on that side and force Liu Xiu to express his position, Liu Xiu felt this way especially strongly. As a person in a higher position, the thing he had the most was suspicion.

The secret guard repeated what he had heard earlier: "That's all they said to each other. It looked like normal concern and conversation between colleagues. There was nothing suspicious about it."

That's why it's even more suspicious, Liu Xiu thought. Chen Chu and Liu Kuan didn't mention anything about the previous incident, and Chen Chu had blamed Liu Kuan for Han Yu's questions to Chen Chu, but when they met, he didn't mention anything. This was too evasive, and it made things worse. Or maybe they had another way of communicating. After all, people outside couldn't see what they did through the tent, so it was easy for them to do some tricks.

It's not that Liu Xiu didn't want people to keep a close eye on Liu Kuan in the tent, but now everyone's eyes are watching. After Liu Kuan proved his innocence with his death, most people don't know the inside story and are on Liu Kuan's side. He can't go too far. This is probably why Liu Kuan took the risk and acted out this scene, so that he can't do anything even though he knows there is something wrong with these two people. This feeling is really depressing.

"I got it. You go down and continue to keep an eye on Liu Kuan and Chen Chu. Don't let go of any suspicious spots. Don't let him have any chance to pass on information to the outside. Report to me immediately if anything happens." Liu Xiu could only have his men keep a close eye on Chen Chu and Liu Kuan. Even if he couldn't do anything to them now, at least he had cut off their chances of contacting the outside world.

The same question was repeated in Yin Shi's tent. Yin Shi's face was not very good when he heard his subordinates' report: "How is it possible? These two people are obviously spies planted by the enemy. There is no way they are okay. Maybe you just didn't find out. Keep a close eye on them. Don't let go of any clues."

Yin Shi was a little disappointed that he didn't find any evidence against Chen Chu and Liu Kuan, but he didn't have a better way. Han Yu was right, Liu Kuan was too cunning. In addition, his assassination attempt failed this time and he alerted the enemy. He didn't expect Chen Chu and Liu Kuan to escape, so he should have sent more people to assassinate them.

"There is one more thing I want to report."

"Speak!" Yin Shi said impatiently because he didn't get what he wanted.

"While I was keeping an eye on Liu Kuan, I discovered another group of people who were also hiding in the dark and observing the movements in the tent."

"Who is it?" Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and guessed that it might be someone sent by Han Yu.

"It looks like they are from the Lord's side. They seem to have discovered us, but they didn't make any moves."

"Han Yu didn't send anyone to keep an eye on them?" Yin Shi was not surprised to hear the news. Although Liu Xiu was a little soft-hearted, he was not stupid. Naturally, he could not really trust Chen Chu and Liu Kuan, so it was normal for him to send someone to keep an eye on them. He was just surprised that Han Yu did not send anyone over.

"I didn't find it."

Yin Shi got a positive answer and waved his hand: "Got it, go down and keep a close eye on the people. Don't let Liu Kuan find any opportunity to take advantage of."

Han Yu actually got the news earlier than Liu Xiu and Yin Shi. The reason why he was not discovered by Liu Xiu and Yin Shi was that he was more sophisticated and careful. Han Yu did not want Liu Xiu to know that he had trained secret guards. Although Liu Xiu would not be affected if he knew, he would consider this as his trump card for the future.

The suspicion of those in power should never be underestimated. Even if Liu Xiu doesn't mind now, he might have thoughts and even suspicions about this matter when he ascends to that position in the future. Even though many aristocratic families and powerful people in the court now have secret guards in private, they all operate in secret, and no one dares to put this matter in the open, only because the court has expressly prohibited it.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Naturally, Han Yu would not believe that the conversation between Chen Chu and Liu Kuan was just a casual visit. Although he did not know the content, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart. However, after this incident, he could only do the same as Liu Xiu and keep a close eye on Chen Chu and Liu Kuan. He could not do anything for the time being, otherwise it would be worth it if Liu Kuan found the right opportunity to bite him back.

As the days passed, Han Yu was patient, but Liu Kuan became a little anxious. More news came from the other side and he was given a deadline.
