Chapter 290
There were about a dozen guards in strong uniforms standing in the backyard of Gaojia Inn. The bright moonlight spread all over their bodies, making them look as majestic as sculptures.
Bright lights sprinkled on the floor in front of the window through the bright paper, and a man's silhouette could be clearly seen on the window.
"My subordinates are incompetent, please forgive me." The woman in night clothes knelt on one knee and lowered her head in shame.
Xiao Yunchang looked at her expressionlessly: "Why can people chase her so carelessly? Haven't you even found yourself carrying a tail?"
The woman said, "The subordinates have always been careful. After leaving the Duke of Maoguo's mansion, they did not dare to come back directly. They walked around for a while before coming here. The subordinates can be sure that they have not been followed."
"No one followed you, but someone came to me. Could it be that it was still a ghost?" Xiao Yunchang snorted.
The woman lowered her head in shame and said, "Although the subordinates successfully poisoned her, they also fought with the people from the Duke of Mao's Mansion. The young master should pay special attention to that Chu Junlan and must not contact her."
"Oh?" Xiao Yunchang raised his eyebrows, suddenly bent down and leaned over, pinched the woman's chin with one hand, forcing her to raise her head according to his strength, "Are you jealous?"
The woman's appearance was not stunning, but there was an innate charm at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "Young Master... I dare not. I just fought with Chu Junlan and found that her martial arts were unfathomable. Her weapons were silver needles that could be seen everywhere. I specifically aimed at the acupoints all over my body. My subordinates did not get any benefits from her, and were also shocked by her internal force. If I hadn't fought for some time with my darts, I would have been captured alive by her."
"What happened like this?" Xiao Yunchang relaxed his hand and looked dazed, "Even you are not her opponent?"
"I am ashamed." The woman lowered her head again.
Xiao Yunchang sat aside, his expression was a little dull. When he recalled what had just happened, he thought of Chu Junlan's every frown and smile when he spoke, his mood was very complicated.
Just then, the woman kneeling on the ground suddenly changed her expression and suddenly stood up to protect Xiao Yunchang. At the same time, a slight noise and fighting sound came from the inn across the courtyard. Then the door was kicked open with a "bang" and dozens of masked men in black broke in like lightning.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yunchang was shocked and looked out through the open door. He saw that the dozen guards he brought had fallen to the ground at this time, not knowing life and death.
He was so scared that his face was pale. Apart from the door, his guard fell down, but he didn't make any noise, and he didn't notice it!
Xiao Yunchang's heart beat into his throat, and he pushed the woman forward, trying to take the opportunity to snatch the door.
But at this moment, a tall black-clothed masked man in front of the door came towards him and lit him three times. Xiao Yunchang felt a blockage of his chest, and his throat was so sweet that he could not breathe. He fell backwards with black eyes.
"Young Master!" The female assassin screamed, but another person blocked the neck with a dagger.
"You, who are you? Do you know who I am?" Xiao Yunchang covered his chest, his eyes full of resentment, and said gritting his teeth, "If you hurt me, neither my father nor the emperor will let you go!"
At this time, the man in black who used a dagger to hold the female assassin's neck said in a deep voice: "You have been touched with a fatal acupoint. If you don't untie the acupoints tomorrow, you will suffocate and die."
Xiao Yunchang's eyes widened in fear. He could not doubt the words of the man in black because he felt that he was breathing hard now.
"What the hell are you going to do!"
"Take the antidote of the Prince of Mao. If the Prince of Mao is alive, you can live. If the Prince of Mao is alive, you will die."
The man put away his dagger and waved his hand back. A group of masked men in black left the inn in an orderly manner, and disappeared into the night between several ups and downs.
"Young Master, are you okay?" The female assassin helped Xiao Yunchang get up.
Xiao Yunchang covered his chest, not knowing if he was mentally irritated. He felt that his breathing was getting worse and worse. He panted and said fiercely: "Did you see the way out!"
The female assassin said ashamed: "Young Master, forgive me for your sins."
"What a... a bastard!" Xiao Yunchang finally yelled in annoyance.
After Chu Junlan and Chu Feng returned to the mansion, they were discussing countermeasures with Chu Shan, Chu Yuan and Chu Zhan. Zi Yan quickly stepped in and whispered in Chu Junlan's ear: "Girl, Huo Yeqing has just arrived to deliver a letter and said that the matter has been resolved. Please wait and see what happened."
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows and looked interesting.
Just now, she and Chu Feng were directly invited back to the mansion by Xiao Xu, and it is unknown how Xiao Xu dealt with her later.
However, Xiao Xu has always been steady in his work, which is related to Chu Hua's life, so Xiao Xu will definitely not be able to play with it.
Chu Junlan said, "Uncle, third uncle, two brothers, and the prince ordered someone to send a message to him, saying that the matter has been resolved, so let's just wait and see."
"Crown Prince?" Several people looked at each other.
Chu Shan joked: "The prince tried his best to participate in this matter, which shows his intention toward his niece."
Chu Feng said seriously: "That's right, the prince came overnight when he got the news and was willing to stand up for our family's affairs. He is really a good person."
Chu Junlan was so amused and crying. OK, why did the topic turn to this?
"Since the prince has already dealt with it, let's wait for the news and see the situation before deciding, it's not too late. Let's go and rest first."
Everyone nodded. Although they were not worried about Chu Hua's situation, it would be useless for them to stay here. It would be better to accumulate energy to welcome tomorrow's changes.
So several people went to see Chu Hua and confirmed that he was fine at the moment, so they went back and rested for a while.
Chu Junlan returned to the side of the study and saw that Xu was already asleep on the table. He took a thin shirt and draped it on her shoulders. He sat beside Chu Hua, checking his condition at all times.
I couldn't sleep all night, and only when the sky was getting darker, I couldn't resist sleepiness, so Chu Junlan lay on the table and took a nap.
Chu Hua's situation passed overnight and looked a little more stable. At least his face didn't look so creepy.
The family got together again, and even Duke Mao, who had just returned to the farm, rushed back.
That night, the wife of Duke Mao Guo secretly shed so many tears. Now she followed Chu Hua and couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"My son, why are you so miserable!"
Duke Mao frowned and grabbed Chu Hua's cold hand, but said viciously: "It's not that he is unwilling to obey and makes a fuss everywhere! If it weren't for blocking people's way, who would have done this!"
Chu Junlan and Chu Feng looked at each other, then invited Duke Mao to the side and told him carefully about what happened last night.
Duke Mao frowned slightly when he heard this, but was not surprised. Instead, he thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized, with a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Chu Junlan and Chu Feng were puzzled and just wanted to ask the truth, when Chu Zhan ran in from outside.
"Here is here! Here!"
Everyone was startled and turned to look.
The wife of Duke Mao even angrily scolded: "What's the matter? Tell me!"
