Chapter 694 Return of the National Teacher
”No.”
Gu Jiao denied.
Mu Qingchen looked at her coldly, trying to see even the slightest flaw and guilty conscience from her eyes, but Mu Qingchen was disappointed.
If Gu Jiao is asked to act in love, hatred, and hatred, it might be able to flash blind people’s eyes and make her not guilty. This is a true performance.
flaws?
impossible.
It’s just that Gu Jiao’s lack of guilty conscience and Mu Qingchen’s disbelief are two different things. Mu Qingchen is not as foolish as Li Sande, and there is no logical blind zone in his thinking that can be guided at will.
He has his own inference and will not be affected by Gu Jiao.
He clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, his eyes were ice-like: ”You won't save Nangong Li, you have only one possibility at the scene, you killed him!”
Mu Qingchen has been with this classmate for so long, not to mention knowing each other well, but he can also see that he is definitely not a person who retaliates with virtue.
Since he had a long time with Nangong Li, how could he risk being treated as a killer to rescue him?
It's the kindness of this classmate who didn't make up for Nangong Li.
Gu Jiao spread her hands: ”You say yes.”
Mu Qingchen kept squeezing the hilt of the sword in his hand, his anger seemed to have reached a certain peak, in fact, he couldn't tell what he was angry with. He was simply angry that he was doing evil in Shengdu, assassinating the famous general of Yan, or angry that he has always been against him. I conceal a lot of things and never treat each other frankly.
”Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Yan State?”
Gu Jiao did not speak.
Mu Qingchen became even more angry. Compared to arguing with herself, asking herself why she didn't believe him, the other party's attitude of not wanting to say anything was the most maddening.
Mu Qingchen gritted his teeth and said: ”Why don't you speak? Did you admit it?”
Gu Jiao looked at him and said calmly, “I’m going in there for nothing else. I’m going to fight another day. I don’t want to do it at the door of my house.”
After all, Gu Jiao turned around and raised her hand to push the courtyard gate without even looking at the long sword that lay across her neck.
Mu Qingchen said coldly: ”You stand still! If you don't speak clearly today, don't blame me for doing it to you!”
Gu Jiao ignored him, and the gate of the courtyard had been pushed open by Gu Jiao.
Seeing Gu Jiao's threat and anger turned a deaf ear to him, an unknown fire rose from the bottom of Mu Qingchen's heart. He raised the long sword in his hand and stab Gu Jiao's back.
Gu Jiao didn't want to fight with Mu Qingchen, but just avoided a little sideways.
Mu Qingchen was determined to force Gu Jiao to do it. He quickly made a second move.
At this moment, there was a rush of small footsteps in the yard, and came to the door.
”Jiaojiao, are you back?”
crunch——
The courtyard door was opened, and Xiao Jingkong’s little head was stretched out!
Mu Qingchen's eyes trembled, and she closed her sword abruptly!
But there was still a trace of sword energy that could not be taken back in time.
Only one slit was opened at the courtyard gate, if someone was caught out, they would be injured; if they were pushed in, they would fall again.
Said it is too late, then it is fast, Gu Jiao stepped forward, bending over to protect the small clear space, blocking the sword energy.
Mu Qingchen didn't kill him either, not to mention having collected most of it. This is just a trace of the remaining sword energy, but for this, Gu Jiao was still cut in the back.
The clothes were torn apart, revealing a small piece of ice muscle and bones and a ring of corsets tightly wrapped around her front.
Mu Qingchen was taken aback for a while, he only felt that the small patch of skin was dazzling, and he didn't even bother to think about the circle of cloth wrapped around Gu Jiao.
He turned around, his mind buzzed for some reason.
Xiao Jingkong didn't see Mu Qingchen outside the door. He thought that only Gu Jiao was back, and he wanted to call Jiaojiao. Gu Jiao raised an index finger and gently pressed it on his small mouth.
Mu Qingchen wanted to turn around, but inexplicably resisted, he squeezed the long sword in his hand, and whispered in a low voice: ”I will find out the truth and find evidence. If it is really you, then I will not tolerate it!”
After finishing speaking, he held the sword, his eyes deep into the night.
Gu Jiao closed the courtyard door to prevent Xiao Jingkong from seeing her back, otherwise the little guy should be worried again.
Xiao Jingkong tilted her head and said, ”Jiaojiao, who was outside just now? I didn't understand what he said.”
”Nothing, a classmate who sent me back.” Gu Jiao touched his little head, ”Why are you here?”
Xiaojingkong said: ”The college is on holiday, my brother-in-law sent me here!”
Gu Jiao asked, ”Your brother-in-law is there?”
Xiao Jingkong shook his head, and said, ”He was there at noon. Now he is going out. He said he will pick me up tomorrow, or Brother Chengfeng will pick me up!”
Xiao Heng specially sent Xiaojingkong here, there should be important things to do.
Gu Jiao guessed right, Xiao Heng was indeed going to work.
Gu Chengfeng is also there.
Xiao Heng first sent Xiao Jingkong to Gu Jiao's side and handed it over to Master Nan and Master Lu. Then he went to Tianxiang Pavilion and returned to the inner city with Gu Chengfeng.
Gu Jiao didn't tell anyone about her plan to assassinate in the palace, but Xiao Heng could guess it.
The two people who know Gu Jiao best in the world, one is Gu Yan and the other is Xiao Heng.
From the moment Nangong Li left the city to look for Gu Jiao, the two had already focused on him.
Gu Chengfeng followed his carriage all the way, while Xiao Heng first sent Xiao Jingkong to Nan Shiniang and Master Lu.
After Nangong Li left the Tianqiong Academy, he went straight to the palace.
Gu Chengfeng and Xiao Heng did not dare to chase too close. Fortunately, Nangong Li did not dare to park the carriage too close to the palace in order not to be spotted.
Nangong Li contacted a palace eunuch, hid in a box where he bought ingredients, and sneaked into the palace.
Nangong Li's confidant guard stayed in the carriage and waited.
News of Nangong Li’s death did not come out so quickly. It was not until the evening that the confidant guard heard from passers-by that General Nangong had been killed in the palace.
Others don’t know the inside story, how can the confidant guard know?
Nangong Li went to kill the student at Tianqiong Academy. If something happened to Nangong Li, that student must have been killed!
The confidant guard hurriedly drove the carriage to report to the people of Nangong's family.
It's not easy to get started on the street.
Xiao Heng spread the map of the inner city and said to Gu Chengfeng: ”Go east.”
Gu Chengfeng drove the carriage and said, “Don’t make a mistake!”
Xiao Heng said: ”It can't be wrong.”
They crossed an alley east, and happened to meet the carriage of the confidant guard head-on. The confidant guard seemed to notice that they were being watched, and turned around and passed through another alley.
Xiao Heng looked at the direction of the alley and said, ”Turn around and go to Nanyu Street.”
Finally, the two blocked their confidant guards at the corner of Nanyu Street.
Get rid of him, and no one knows why Nangong Li entered the palace today.
……
Nangong Li’s death caused an uproar in Shengdu. There are three major doubts about this matter. First, why did Nangong Li appear in the palace? There is no record of his entering the palace at the gate of Mingming Palace. In other words, he entered the palace secretly.
Nangong’s servant said that he had gone out with a guard named Liu Dong.
The Criminal Department immediately sent people to search for the guard named Liu Dong, but found that Liu Dongheng had died on the street.
was stabbed by someone with a hidden weapon and killed with one blow.
The murderer apparently possessed very powerful anti-reconnaissance capabilities. No clues were left on the scene, and no witnesses were found nearby.
As soon as there was a breakthrough, the case fell into a deadlock.
