C148 Danger
After hesitating for a while, Guxing still didn't tell Chu Rouer what he thought. After all, this was just his speculation. Not only did he not have any evidence, but he also did not have any evidence. Furthermore, given his current status in Chu Kingdom, even if this matter was true. . . No one would believe it if it was spread out. Furthermore, Chu Rouer had already said that she should not bring this up again. The most important thing right now was to make the little girl happy. It was not too late to say these words again in the future.
Three days later, Guxing jumped up from the bed. After a few days of recuperation, all the internal and external injuries on his body had been healed. As soon as he got off the bed, he could not wait to stretch his muscles and bones on the spot. He was full of energy and did not show any signs of being injured.
During this period of time, the City Lord of Lan Bing City had come here more than once. When he visited, he was very sincere. Guxing knew that he did not know the City Lord, so he did not think that the City Lord really appreciated him. All of this was naturally because of Chu Rouer's face, so he did not show any arrogance when he returned the bow. After all, being humble was the true way to deal with things.
What surprised him the most was the attitude of the Imperial Guards. These few days, There were also people in the Imperial Army who had come a few times. On the surface, These people had come to express their gratitude, but in their eyes, Guxing could more or less see a hint of caution. The previous few times. . . Guxing only thought that this was a normal reaction. After all, people's hearts were separated by skin. No one would be able to put their heart into someone else's heart from the very beginning. It was just that after a few days. . . Guxing felt that something was not right, because their purpose was to talk more like an interrogation. He did not know if it was Guxing's misconception, but he felt that they were deliberately reducing the number of times Chu Rouer met him.
Logically speaking, based on Chu Rouer's character, She was eager to be with Guxing at all times, and now Guxing couldn't even see her every day. Every time Guxing asked her about it, the little girl would look like she was complaining pitifully. Complaining that he had trivial matters that he couldn't get rid of, Guxing naturally wouldn't suspect that Chu Rouer was lying to him. Thus, he could only smile at these things.
"Heh, I originally thought that it was a bright path in the dark, but I never thought that it was actually just after I left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. Yeh Guxing, oh Yeh Guxing, you are really born with bad luck. "
Guxing laughed self-deprecatingly. He seemed to have nothing to do as he walked alone on the street. Behind him, there was nothing to do. There were also a few followers. To put it nicely, these people were sent to protect his safety, but how could Guxing not know that these people's true purpose was to monitor him?
"Why are you following me so closely? Are you afraid that I will run away?"
Guxing glanced at them and frowned slightly. Given the strength of these Imperial Guards, they could easily pull any one of them out. He could only defend himself, but now, four of them had suddenly appeared. It was clear how dangerous it would be if he continued to stay here. He truly couldn't understand. Why did these people have such deep hostility towards him? From Chu Rouer's words, These people were Emperor Chu's trusted aides. They were usually loyal to Emperor Chu. Logically speaking, he had saved the princess and was the benefactor of the royal family and even the entire Chu Kingdom. However, these people's reactions did not seem to be gratitude. When they thought of this, Guxing could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Could it be that all of this was Emperor Chu's intention? Emperor Chu, he wanted to harm him. . .
But why?
He still couldn't figure out the reason. After all, all of these were just his own guesses. As for what the truth was, he would only know if things continued to develop. However, judging from all the signs, his conjecture was very likely to be true. By that time, perhaps it would be too late. . . Thus, his current thoughts were even more determined. Leaving was the best plan.
"They have sent people to monitor me so closely. Naturally, they will not let me leave easily. If I rashly propose to leave, not only will it be difficult for me to fulfill my wish, it will also alert the enemy. This City Lord Mansion is heavily guarded and experts are as numerous as the clouds. Looks like I have to go back and plan properly. . . "
When he thought of this, he immediately lost interest in continuing his stroll. He turned around and headed back the way he came. However, his expression was the same as usual along the way. Moreover, his footsteps were light and he didn't seem to have any worries at all.
Half a night later, in Guxing's room. . .
Guxing picked up the sword on the table with a serious face. He carefully pushed open the door. The moment he pushed open the door, a few unfriendly gazes swept towards him from different directions.
"Oh, the one on the top, on the left. One on the right. So, there are three people. . . "
After noticing their positions, Guxing smiled and went to the courtyard. With a clang, he drew his sword.
It was already late at night. The City Lord's Mansion was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle hitting the ground. Not to mention the sound of the needle being drawn out of the sheath. The three of them were immediately attracted to him. All of them opened their eyes wide, wanting to see what he was doing. Then, they saw him move. As he walked in the yard, he waved his sword. His speed went from slow to fast. He was actually practicing his sword.
It was common knowledge that there were many things to learn about martial arts. Among them, time was something that martial artists valued. Some people liked to practice martial arts in the morning, while others preferred to practice late, which was their personality. Therefore, the three of them did not really care. Although it was indeed a little late at midnight, the three of them were experienced, so they were already used to it.
What happened next was similar to what they had expected. After Guxing finished practicing his sword, he sat on the stone bench for a while, then went straight to the room to rest. The whole process did not take more than the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
The surroundings returned to silence, but the three of them did not let down their guard. Their years of night watch experience told them that usually, accidents happened when they were unprepared. Only by keeping awake at all times could they prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation, even though it was already the third night they were guarding here.
This time, the truth did not disappoint them. After the time it takes for another incense stick to burn, Guxing's tightly shut door was once again pushed open by someone. They could vaguely see a figure walking out.
The moonlight tonight was exceptionally bright. Even without the star as a foil, the scenery on the ground could still be vaguely seen. However, no matter how bright the moonlight was, it could not penetrate the rolling clouds. If the entire cloud rushed up, even if it was the moonlight, there would only be hatred.
And Guxing naturally would not let go of this opportunity. . .
