C2 (2/2)
She only felt that the sword at her side was a silver snake, baring its fangs at her, ready to pounce and bite her at any moment.
The silver sword moved, Yun Qianliang moved to the side, but as long as the assassin quickly swept his sword across, she would not be able to dodge in this narrow space.
With a meow, why does it feel like she's found a adulterer?
In the middle of the night, he raised his sword and barged in. It was a classic rape scene.
Just as the silver sword was about to stab under the bed, the sound of the sword slashing through the air rang out. The assassin immediately drew his silver sword back, turning around to face his enemy.
The Gu San's long sword pierced straight towards the heart from the back. The assassin retracted the silver sword and turned around to block, his figure turning to dodge the attack, following that, the silver sword rustled and struck towards Gu San's face.
Gu San's figure lightly swayed, easily dodging the attack, his long sword wrapping around the silver sword.
Yun Qianliang lied under the bed, only hearing the sound of weapons colliding, the assassin and those who saved her did not make a sound, as though they were afraid that the sound would reveal their identity.
After a long while, the clashing of swords and sabers grew weaker. The Qi on one side of the room grew heavy, followed by the sound of breaking windows.
The previous assassin had left, but others had stayed behind in the bridal chamber.
Yun Qianliang saw the blood dripping sword coming towards her through the crack in the wall. His fingers tightened and he even forgot to hold a hand to her neck.
”Come out.”
Yun Qianliang did not go out, and continued to carefully hide under the bed.
Gu Wuchen did not like this marriage, but it just so happened that assassins would barge into the House of Zuo tonight. Gu Wuchen had sent people to kill her, and then pushed the blame onto the assassins, claiming that they could get rid of his before they could even save her.
She was very clear that the assassin tonight was not coming for Gu Wuchen.
Tonight's matter made her understand even more that this marriage was for the sake of this assassination.
Yun Qianliang was the noble daughter of the Emperor that was bestowed the marriage with the Minister of the Left, regardless of whetherhee was doted on or not, she was still a direct daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Hall. If he died in his bridal chamber on the night of the wedding, it would be hard for him to escape from his clutches, regardless of whether she was related to Gu Wuchen or not.
Even if the crime didn't cost him his life, at least it would cost him something.
She was reduced to a dead end in the face of the struggles of the various powers!
And the person who set up this plot might be the Emperor, or it might even be the Jin Wang, or even the Yun Xiang Mansion!
Yun Qianliang's brain had a string that was stretched taut. Without using any strength, just a light tug would be enough to break it.
Gu San saw that there was no movement under the bed and turned to walk into the new room.
”The Lord Prime Minister has fled.” Gu San looked at the people in the courtyard who were gracefully wiping the flexible swords, and reported respectfully.
”No problem.” Gu Yicheng threw away the handkerchief stained with blood, turned and looked at the new house filled with red silk, then walked over to another building, ”Send two guards to protect my wife.”
”To what extent does a guard's martial arts need to be?” Gu San asked.
Gu Yicheng scratched his chin and thought, ”As long as he doesn't die, it's fine.”
He had long heard of Yun Qianliang and Song Shujin's matters.
Previously, it was all because of Song Shujin and her Concubinage Sister that he committed suicide. However, ever since the marriage decree was given, Yun Qianliang did not make any move.
He was mocked by the crowd today, and was not as angry as he was in the past. He couldn't help but make people doubt her motive for entering the Gu Xiangfu, and to be able to protect her from dying, he had done his best.
The surroundings fell into silence. The red candle swayed in the wind coming from outside the door, and the light and shadow on the ground flickered.
Yun Qianliang slowly pushed away from the bed and came out.
The rooster's body was not cleaned up, and there was still some blood left on the ground. He took in a deep breath of cold air, and the smell of blood entered his nose.
Yun Qianliang was wrapped in a blanket and sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed. She looked at the blood on the ground and felt her heart clogging up.
In the face of assassination, this weak body didn't even have the ability to defend itself other than a little bit of strength.
Tonight, Gu Yicheng had decided to hook her up for benefits and saved her life.
If she were to get out of such a situation one day, she would not be as lucky as she was today when someone else wanted her dead.
In this one of the Four Joy Nights, Yun Qianliang sat alone until daybreak.
