General, he's cheating again

Chapter 27 Trap

In the middle of the huge courtyard, Chen Linxiang fell asleep with his hands and feet bound by hemp ropes. His fat face was covered with a layer of fine dust. When he opened his eyes hazily, he saw a man in red squatting In front of him, he stared at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Yo, the traitor is awake."

Hua Yan twisted a thin needle in his hand and carefully compared it to Chen Linxiang's body, as if he was thinking about where to pierce it.

Seeing the fine needle, Chen Linxiang woke up immediately, and before he could react from the shock, he glanced again and saw Gu Zhen standing beside him.Noticing the gloomy look on Gu Zhen's face, Chen Linxiang's back was covered with cold sweat.

"Why... why did you tie me up?"

Because his mouth was on the ground, he ate a mouthful of ashes when he spoke. Chen Linxiang poked out his tongue twice and then raised his face. He looked at Gu Zhen and begged, "General Gu, I haven't done anything yet. Why? You can so hastily label me a traitor and abuse me like this!"

"My hall master just said that Mr. Chen has a pleasing temperament! Well, knowing what it means to rein in a horse is a bit savvy."

While speaking, he handed the thin needle in Chen Linxiang's eyes and shook it, then Hua Yan slowly stuck the needle into his fingertip, and when he pulled out the needle, a drop of black blood appeared from the fingertip.

Frowning slightly, Hua Yan stared fixedly at the needle in his hand, he carefully felt the pain at the fingertips, "This poison is really painful, my hall master likes it.

I just don't know if Lord Chen will like it too? "

"You... you pervert!"

Unexpectedly, Hua Yan would prick himself with a poisonous needle and even say he likes it after the pricking. Chen Linxiang sighed that Hua Yan is simply a masochist?

He yelled and cursed, but his whole body was so frightened that he couldn't help trembling.

"Are you scared?" Seeing that Chen Linxiang was almost scared, Gu Zhen smiled narrowly.

He paced beside Chen Linxiang, his phoenix eyes looked at him coldly, and said persuasively: "This general is now giving Mr. Chen a chance to redeem his crimes.

As long as Mr. Chen tells the general what you and Mr. Dong talked about in the mansion the night before leaving the city and who sent you the letter today, and then cooperate to investigate the case, the general will forget the blame.

Not only that, but after returning to the capital, this general will also say a few good words for Mr. Chen in front of the emperor.

Master Chen, do you think this is okay? "

"This... Mr. Dong is my colleague after all. General Gu wants me to betray him now. If he finds out about me, how can I hang out in Yantie Division in the future!"

Chen Linxiang looked perplexed, and wondered why Gu Zhen knew that Dong Wen had gone to him the night before he left the city.

"Hiss. In that case,"

Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, turned to look at Hua Yan and said, "Then let Hua Tang take the initiative."

"Yes."

With Gu Zhen's permission, Hua Yan hooked his lips into a smile, and then five silver needles instantly appeared between his five fingers. He pretended to sigh, "My hall master was worried that no one would test the poison for me, but I didn't expect this person to come to the door by himself." Here we come. Well, it’s exactly what I want, hahaha.”

"Don't, don't, don't!" Chen Linxiang stared at the poisonous needle and subconsciously backed away, "I said, I just said it!

Master Dong asked me to pay more attention to the whereabouts of General Gu and Master Qin that night, and asked me to write him a letter to report the situation from time to time, saying it was... that it was because of Lin Xiang.

As for the signature at the end of today's letter is Lin Xiang, probably Lin Xiang asked me to do it.

The official did not see the person who delivered the letter, the letter was directly wrapped in a stone and smashed over.If you suspect that what I said is a lie, you can come and touch the bag on my forehead, which is still swollen to this day! "

"Hmph, it's Lin Wenshan again."

Hearing this, Gu Zhen's face became more and more gloomy, with a murderous look in his eyes, "As a veteran of the courtiers, he has lived longer and returned, thinking about harming the country and the people all day long.

Leng Ji, untie Master Chen. "

Leng Ji, who had been guarding outside the courtyard gate, walked into the courtyard to help Chen Linxiang untie the rope, and helped Chen Linxiang stand up.

"What now?"

Hua Yan also stood up, and he took back the silver needle and looked at Gu Zhen with a slight frown, "You know, if this matter is related to Lin Wenshan, it will be complicated."

"Yes."

Leng Ji also showed anxiety, he clenched his fist tightly and said in a deep voice: "If Lin Wenshan is the one who controls everything behind the scenes, then Han Zhaocen's crime must not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

You know, Lin Wenshan has always wanted to kill the general and Qin Taifu.If we go to the black market to arrest Han Zhaocen at this moment, we may fall into the trap set by Lin Wenshan. "

"What are you afraid of? Even if the worst happens, you, Ye, and Hua Yan can protect ourselves." Gu Zhen had his own plan in mind, and turned his gaze to Chen Linxiang, but he turned his eyes away, "But apart from Qin Qingrong, the rest of us can protect ourselves." It's good for the next few people who don't know martial arts to stay in the mansion.

Qin Qingrong at least has some brains, other things are just dragging and getting in the way. "

At this moment, Chen Linxiang, who was called dragged down, coughed twice in embarrassment.

"But General, what excuse do we have to use to take Master Qin to act alone. If Ye Shaoqing knew about this, he might not agree to Taifu Qin acting alone with us."

The anxious look on his face was quickly suppressed, and Leng Ji calmly raised a difficult point of the plan.

"If you don't tell me, how would Ye Ruan know?" Gu Zhen smiled narrowly, "I would also like to ask Mr. Chen to drink more wine with Ye Ruan at night, and it is best to get him drunk, so as to avoid any accidents."

Chen Linxiang wiped the ashes from his face and nodded flatteringly: "Okay, okay, I'm the best at drinking."

Sure enough, when the sky was getting dark in the evening, Chen Linxiang kept pestering Ye Ruan to drink at the dinner table, and after a while he drank Ye Ruan down.

After Gu Zhen and others set off, Chen Linxiang stayed in the room to guard Ye Ru'an.Ye Ru'an was drunk and lay on the inner bed, while he reclined on the outer beauty couch with sleepy eyelids fighting.

On the road, Qin Qingrong stopped while walking.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the atmosphere among the people at the dinner table was weird, especially Chen Linxiang, who was always pulling Ye Ru'an to drink while doing something well.

"You guys colluded to get Ru'an drunk on purpose. Why didn't you take him with you?"

In the alley at night, the bright moonlight contrasted with Qin Qingrong's white robe, which also made his muscles look more fat.

"I'm afraid it will be a killing game tonight, and I have already explained the reason to you during the day." Gu Zhen lost his temper, threw his left hand on his sleeve and put it on his back. It is best not to follow.

But Qingrong, if you mind, I will explain to him in person tomorrow after the matter is over and make amends. "

"never mind."

Qin Qingrong saw that Gu Zhen's attitude was still sincere, and thought of Ye Ruan's prejudice against Gu Zhen, he sighed softly and said apologetically, "You are doing it for his own good, let's go."

Hearing this, the corners of his lips could not help but smile, Gu Zhen nodded, "It's okay, at most I'll be scolded by him a few times. However, Qingrong, you are considerate of me, and this general feels comforted in his heart, as if you are caring for me." stop."

"...You think too much." Qin Qingrong said with a guilty conscience, looking away.

After less than a moment, several people had arrived in front of the pawn shop.

Tonight, there was no guard in the pawnshop as he had seen a few days ago. After entering the pawnshop, Hua Yan walked in the front while Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong followed behind.

Pulling back the curtain, Hua Yan's figure was hidden by the door frame. He stretched out his arm and tapped on the wooden door three times, and the wooden door opened by itself. Behind the door, a group of black-clothed dark guards who had been hiding for a long time appeared behind the door.

The group of hidden guards couldn't help looking at each other when they found that there was no one in front of them after the door opened. In the blink of an eye, they saw a man in red suddenly appear from the side of the door. Without leaning, it pierced into the throats of the first few people.

The person who was hit by the dart in front of him died of poison immediately, and was pushed down and stepped on by the people behind him. There was a change in the secret passage, and a large number of hidden guards who were dormant in it emerged one after another.

Seeing that Hua Yan couldn't handle it, Leng Ji pulled out the knife that was different from his waist and looked at Hua Yan, and the two of them flew out of the pawn shop together.

Because the light was too dark at night, the group of dark guards focused all their attention on the two men, so they chased them out without much thought.

Only the last few realized that Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong were still lurking beside the door, but they were immediately cut off by Gu Zhen's stabbing sword in the throat.

The pawnshop was quiet for an instant, Gu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to see that Qin Qingrong was safe and sound, he bent his lips and smiled at Qin Qingrong.With a sword in one hand and Qin Qingrong's cold hand in the other, Gu Zhen asked softly with his thin lips close to Qin Qingrong's ear, "Are you afraid?"

Qin Qingrong shook his head calmly, he calmly looked into Gu Zhen's phoenix eyes and replied sincerely: "I believe in you, so I am not afraid."

Aroused by the words of the person in front of him, Gu Zhen's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and there was a hint of longing in his expression, and he couldn't help but hook his lips and chuckle, "Okay, with your words, I will work hard today to keep you alive." Watching you. Don't worry."

Feeling that Gu Zhen's hand was getting hot gradually, Qin Qingrong always looked at Gu Zhen's thin lips unconsciously, and found that his cheeks were also getting hot. He couldn't help but look away from Gu Zhen and reminded: "Understood, let's go in quickly."

After walking quickly through the secret passage, the two came to the entrance of the black market, only to see that there was only one salt and iron merchant sitting in the market today.

Before they showed up, Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong heard the merchant raise his voice towards the entrance: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, if you didn't finally show up today, I thought you would have disappeared.

Now that my lord is here, please show up quickly. "

The merchant stood up and walked slowly towards the direction of Qin Qingrong and Gu Zhen. His eyes were fixed on the entrance in front of him. He raised his arms and made a slight gesture of beckoning. He walked out from the dark place behind his booth. Several Fanbang warriors.

These warriors either held swords or sticks. After receiving the instructions, their expressions showed a strong murderous look, and they followed the merchants in unison.
