Chapter 140 You can tell whether someone is your partner at first sight!
She had also seen the exile teams, but every one of them was ragged and unkempt. Not to mention sleeping in such a good tent, having steamed buns to eat every day was a luxury.
But seeing how energetic everyone was, and the hot noodles in front of them smelled delicious, if you didn't know, you would think they were out for a trip...
Not long after they left with Xuan'er, they were chased. They walked and stopped, hid here and there, and were already exhausted.
Moreover, they usually either ate dry food or relied on their subordinates to catch some game to improve their diet. They had no chance to have a good hot meal.
Fourth sister-in-law Jiang Ruxue mechanically fed the noodles into her mouth. Third sister-in-law next to her looked at her and couldn't help but tear up.
The moment the noodles entered her mouth, Fang Jin held back her tears and ate them in big mouthfuls. After swallowing, she kept saying how delicious it was and exclaimed with emotion.
"Although we didn't suffer much during this journey, we still didn't have a single peaceful meal due to the continuous encounters with assassins. Now everything is fine, everything is fine!"
continuous?
After listening to this, Ran Qingxuan became a little absent-minded while eating. When his fourth sister-in-law put down her bowl and chopsticks and the others went to clean up, Ran Qingxuan asked quietly.
"Fifth sister-in-law, when did you encounter the assassin?"
Fang Jin thought for a few seconds and immediately gave a positive answer: "The first time was two days after leaving Weishan County, but only two people came, and when they saw that they could not defeat Dahei and the others, they left.
After ten days of peace, Xiaowu, who was out exploring, noticed that ten men in black were approaching where we were resting. Dahei and the others did not dare to take any risks, so they took us away immediately.
The last time was last night. Fortunately, when Dahei and his men were struggling, people around Sixth Brother came and turned the situation around. ”
A solemn look flashed across Ran Qingxuan's face.
Because according to what was said in the book, the assassins sent by Emperor Mingde should arrive half a month after the team set out, which is in these few days. If the group of people we met last night, Dahei and his friends, were sent by Emperor Mingde, then that would be easy to explain.
But it doesn't make sense that they would encounter assassins right after leaving Weishan County. The first time was two people who didn't fight, and the second time was ten people who didn't meet them...
She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Looking at Gu Yanchen, Ran Qingxuan asked, "How many assassins were there when you were cleaning up the battlefield last night?"
"Eighteen people..." When he said this, Gu Yanchen seemed to realize that something was wrong, and his expression became serious.
"Are you trying to say that the three assassinations were not committed by one person?"
"It's very likely. If you say that the two subsequent times were from Emperor Mingde's people, then I would believe it. But how can we explain the fact that there were only two people the first time? The number of people is too small."
Gu Yanchen's lips tightened, and he took a deep breath and said, "We didn't see any markings on those men in black last night, but judging by their numbers and their skills, they seemed to be assassins who have been trained outside."
Suddenly, Ran Qingxuan thought of something, glanced at his fifth sister-in-law who was talking to his eldest sister-in-law, stood up and motioned Gu Yanchen to go to a place where there was no one.
"There's something very serious. We may have made a preconceived notion!"
"What do you mean?" Gu Yanchen looked puzzled, not understanding what Ran Qingxuan meant by preconceived ideas.
Ran Qingxuan did not dare to say anything and tried his best to control his emotions.
"Have you ever thought about what might happen if what Fourth Sister-in-law said is true?"
Gu Yanchen took a breath of cold air and his blood froze instantly.
"Do you still remember Liu Zi's description of the person that Sisao was pulling?"
"He was wearing windproof clothes, which must be very loose, and his face was covered with a black veil. How did the fourth sister-in-law determine that this person was the fourth brother?"
"Maybe the fourth sister-in-law really recognized the wrong person, but for a couple who has been together for a long time, maybe they can tell whether it is their partner at first sight!"
Gu Yanchen's heart began to tighten, and an indescribable excitement lingered in his heart.
"You mean, my fourth brother might still be alive, and he's the one my fourth sister-in-law met?"
Ran Qingxuan did not respond immediately, but motioned for him to take out the walkie-talkie.
Gu Yanchen did as he was told, and saw Ran Qingxuan turn his back and ask directly.
"An Si, are you there?"
"I'm here. What do you want, madam?" An Si, who was more than ten kilometers away, replied immediately.
"You were the first ones to face that group of assassins last night. Did you notice anything unusual?"
......
"Reporting to Madam, the group of people last night had a very clear goal. Although they were fighting, they were targeting the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam several times."
"Anwu said that one of them was standing quite far away, but when a breeze blew past, he could faintly smell the smell of medicine!"
"Okay, got it."
Ran Qingxuan held the intercom tightly and instantly understood what was going on.
As a hint of ecstasy flashed across his face, Gu Yanchen seemed to be slightly unsteady on his feet.
"Those assassins last night were related to the two men from Weishan County, right?"
Ran Qingxuan looked at Gu Yanchen and nodded excitedly.
"The two assassins that Fourth Sister-in-law and her friends encountered at the beginning must have come to investigate. The reason why they were only encountered last night is probably related to the second group of assassins that Dahei and his friends encountered!"
"Dahei and his men noticed the arrival of the second group of assassins and decided to hide, so they have not been discovered. The second group of assassins may have been sent by Emperor Mingde to kill you."
Gu Yanchen suppressed the shock in his heart and spoke word by word.
"Liu Zi said that the man asked Sisao who her companion was. If they could walk together, how could he not know who was around him? He must have realized that Sisao might really know his companion.
Being able to summon so many killers to silence him means that this person’s identity cannot be exposed! ”
When he said this, Gu Yanchen seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be confirming what was in his mind.
"That person is Fourth Brother...Yes, that person must be Fourth Brother!"
Considering all these factors, the person that Fourth Sister-in-law Jiang Ruxue saw in Weishan County might really be the long-dead Fourth Master of the Gu Family, Gu Yanxing!
The more they analyzed it, the more frightened they became.
only...
"But if that was really what Fourth Brother said, why didn't he recognize Fourth Sister-in-law at that time..."
Ran Qingxuan took a deep breath and then told the story of Xuan'er being poisoned.
"What did you say? The arrow was poisoned?"
"Yes, I don't know what the poison is. Logically speaking, since he didn't die immediately, it means that the poison should not be serious. However, the herbs used to detoxify are something I have never seen or heard of before."
Gu Yanchen immediately asked: "What kind of herb is it?"
"Ice grass, water wind chimes, bluegrass..."
Gu Yanchen's face turned pale just after he mentioned the names of the three herbs. Ran Qingxuan realized something was wrong and asked immediately.
"Do you know what kind of poison this is?"
When Gu Yanchen spoke, his lips couldn't help but tremble.
"Blue Rain is a strange poison that eats away at the heart!"
"Only the Blue Rain Royal Family High Priest Balanch can refine the Heart-Eating Poison. The reason why this poison is so strange is that after being poisoned, the toxin will slowly corrode the heart of the poisoned person, but the poisoned person will not notice anything unusual until the heart turns into a pool of blood after seven days..."
