PDLP Chapter 177 Assassination
Chapter 177 Assassination
Gu Ci is a rare genius in the world. He is not only knowledgeable but also has a broad perspective. No matter what complex situation he faces, he can always quickly grasp the key and grasp the overall direction.
What is even more commendable is that he is kind-hearted and dedicated to the country and the people. He is both talented and virtuous and is respected and loved by the world.
Hence, there is a saying that "he who gets the words of Gu will get the world."
He was once the fiancé given by the empress to the fourth princess. Doesn't this mean that the fourth princess is the chosen one to succeed the throne?
But that person may have some ability on the battlefield, but he is a complete idiot in governance, especially when facing Gu Ci, he is simply infatuated and irrational.
Who would be willing to give up the throne to such a person? It would be strange if she didn't secretly kill her.
Under the long-term siege of many forces, the Fourth Princess went mad and disfigured and was sentenced to exile. Naturally, she could not waste a good talent like Gu Ci to be buried with her.
So the fifth princess used some tricks to get Gu Ci's status into her own hands.
Just when she was sure of victory, Bao Xiaojuan suddenly sent back news that the fourth princess was exiled to the south. Not only did she not die, but she also married a beastly husband for the fifth time.
As soon as the news leaked, various forces started to move again, pointing to the exile place in the south, and quickly grasping Jiang Changle's movements.
The fifth princess learned from Gu Ci and used the second princess's hand to instigate conflicts between the left and right factions of Xuanmen. The county government set a trap for Jiang Changle to fall into. The traps were set one after another, but Jiang Changle escaped in the end.
No, she was defeated easily, and many of the Fifth Princess's own men were also killed.
But does Gu Ci really not know anything about what she has done?
In fact, Gu Ci not only understood everything clearly, but he could also guess the Fourth Princess's counterattack, so he suggested that the Fifth Princess retreat early.
If the Fourth Princess knew that he was with the Fifth Princess, given her infatuation with him, she might not attack him.
But the Fourth Princess won Jiuer County, and it was not her own ability. It was the result of the victory of the Xuanmen Left and the Black Dragon Guards. Would those people have no opinion on the culprit, the Fifth Princess?
Even his ex-fiancé would probably be wiped out in order to prevent him from influencing the Fourth Princess again.
In short, no one believes that it is Jiang Changle's own strength and radical change.
Of course, there couldn't be no guards around the Fifth Princess and Gu Ci. Gu Ci was just afraid of trouble and loss of troops, so it was necessary to leave early and change the route.
The Fifth Princess was proud of Gu Ci's plan for her. He was teaching her how to win the hearts of the people. How could one not be moved?
As for Jiang Changle, she could only be their past tense. "Aci, I'm the only one in your heart, right? My sister has given birth to a child, shouldn't we~"
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, the princess suddenly hugged Gu Ci, pressed his head down and covered his lips.
"Well~Princess~That's not appropriate~" Gu Ci seemed to want to push the Fifth Princess away, but he seemed to need to prove his sincerity, so he had to accept her.
It was like he was bewitched by her charm, but couldn't be too excessive with her because he was unmarried.
The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other for a while, acting out a scene of deep and tragic love that was both reluctant and willing, but soon they fell onto the blanket with a thud.
"Princess~No~"
"Why? Am I not prettier than my sister? Give it to me, Ah Ci!"
I can't wait any longer. I don't want to wait any longer. I want to give birth to a child for you and become the princess's first beastly husband, the first male. Isn't that good?
Ah Ci, Ah Ci~" The Fifth Princess tore at Gu Ci's clothes, biting him with her saliva, her tone sounded like an order, but also like a plea.
"No~ Your Highness, resigning will hurt you~ I can't~ Your Highness, you and I are not married yet, the princess's beauty should bloom at the most appropriate time~"
The fifth princess cried, anxious to get it, and also moved. How could this male be so perfect? Smart, good-looking, and in love with her.
"I'm not afraid, Gu Ci, I want you, I love you~"
"Your Highness, this is inappropriate~" However, although someone said no, his hands never stopped.
But just when the two men broke through their defense, the sound of sharp weapons rubbing against each other suddenly came from the air, and it was already very close.
Gu Ci's heart tightened. He was originally on top, but it seemed that the Fifth Princess had the upper hand over him. His body softened and he was pressed down again.
"Puchi!" "Ah!" The dull sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh and the screams of the fifth princess rang out one after another.
People who didn’t know would think that the two of them were doing something and that the princess made the noise because she couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Gu Ci looked at the Fifth Princess blankly, as if he had just woken up from a period of despair.
"There's an assassin~" Fortunately, she was not shot in the vitals. The fifth princess grabbed her shoulders and immediately felt blood on her hands. She swayed and fell directly on Gu Ci.
Gu Ci's face changed drastically. "Someone, there's an assassin! Call a doctor quickly, the princess is injured."
There was not just one hidden arrow, but waves after waves. The guards outside were naturally alarmed and ran over to protect the emperor.
For a moment, the whole courtyard was filled with the flashing of swords and sabers. There were many killers, otherwise they would not dare to break into the princess's temporary residence which was heavily guarded.
However, the killer's weapons are diverse. They do not resemble the power of a single party, nor do they resemble an army. Instead, they are individual killers with very strong individual strength.
The strangest thing is that these people knew when to stop and did not insist on killing the Fifth Princess or Gu Ci.
Of course, because the employer said that anyone who can kill the fifth princess will be rewarded with 50,000 gold plus a lot of cloth and food, and anyone who can kill Gu Ci will be rewarded with 100,000 gold plus cloth and food.
It doesn't matter if you can't kill the target. There will be a reward if you can injure the main target. Even if you kill the servants and guards around the target, there will be a reward. It's just a matter of how much the bonus is.
Now, the Fifth Princess and Gu Ci experienced a catastrophe directly. All the people who could die died, and they suffered heavy losses for a while.
"Ah! Who did it?!" The injured Fifth Princess lost most of her servants and went crazy in an instant.
At this moment, the beastmen outside were disturbed by the fighting in the courtyard and gathered from a distance. "Who is it? What happened? We've just finished this year and we've experienced such a tragedy. How unlucky will this whole year be?"
"Look, the guards from the county government are coming over here. Could it be some important figure?"
"Of course she's an important figure. I heard she's the Fifth Princess who was passing through on her way to provide disaster relief in the west."
"Oh, I remember you lived in the courtyard for a long time, and I often heard the sound of a zither coming from there. If it's disaster relief, why aren't you in a hurry?"
Are we going to wait until all the victims are dead before we start providing disaster relief? This is ridiculous!
Soon, the Fifth Princess's reputation began to decline, and even Gu Ci's patriotic and people-loving personality was questioned.
