When Gu Chen brought the thug leader to Lieutenant's Mansion, he was still there. In other words, he hadn't left at all.
Gu Chen looked at his uncle but did not say a word. He ordered his men to gather the troops under the Lieutenant's Mansion and accompany him in capturing the suspect.
Gu Chong was stunned. Suspect? Where did the suspect come from? He stood up and asked: "Gu Chen, who is the suspect?"
Gu Chen frowned: "Uncle, your nephew just received the news that there is a group of Ningers who might be related to the King's assassins. I will go and capture them right now!"
Gu Chong inhaled and immediately asked: "Can you confirm?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Whether or not it is true, we'll know once we capture it!"
Upon hearing these words, Gu Chong felt a bit discouraged. In his eyes, Gu Chen was just a prodigal son of a family. All day long, he would hang out with some random boorish people. Of course, it was because of this that he forcefully dragged Gu Chen into the lieutenant's residence to become a commander of the regiment. Those who went against the flow could not even find the hidden arrow, so what could this useless nephew of his find out?
Gu Chong repeatedly shook his head, and muttered: "This time, I have been harmed so miserably by you ? "Three days later, we won't be able to keep our heads anymore ?"
The more Gu Chen heard his uncle's dismal words, the angrier he became. He directly left the main hall and waited for the army to gather outside.
The army had not arrived yet, but Yan Xi had arrived first. Yan Xi was staying at the inn opposite of Lieutenant's Mansion, and seeing that the previously calm Lieutenant's Mansion was suddenly bustling with noise and excitement, and that a large amount of troops were congregating outside the residence, she did not know what had happened, so she specially came to take a look.
When the guard at the door came in to report, the latter waved his hand without hesitation: "I won't! I won't see anyone now! "
"She said the King sent her!"
Eh? Gu Chen was startled, then he subconsciously frowned, as he walked out.
He had never heard of Yan Xi's name, but he had met her before. He remembered that she was at the King's side when the King was assassinated, but he was not sure about Yan Xi's identity. When he saw Yan Xi at the entrance of the palace, Gu Chen walked forward and politely cupped his hands in greeting. "Miss Yan was sent by the King?"
Yan Xi had a good impression of Gu Chen, and felt that this youth was both courageous and courageous. She smiled and said, "I'm here to assist you in tracking down the assassins." The reason why she added this sentence to the guards just now was because the King had sent her, and it was mainly because she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to see her.
Gu Chen forced out a smile and said: "I ask Miss Yan to tell the King that I already have some clues and do not need his help."
He already had a clue?! Yan Xi was surprised, she had a whole new level of respect for Gu Chen. She asked: "Did General Gu gather troops just to capture assassins?"
"That's right!"
"Assassins are powerful, all of them are Spiritual Martial Expert. I think the General Gu should inform the General Cheng first, please send out hidden arrows to help apprehend the assassins." Yan Xi kindly reminded him.
Gu Chen's face sunk, and laughed coldly: "Please Dark Arrow? Could it be that without the hidden arrow, my Lieutenant's Mansion cannot handle this case? " From the bottom of his heart, Gu Chen looked down upon Dark Arrow and felt that he was just a bunch of people who relied on their close relationship with the King to think that he was very impressive.
From his words and the conversation he had with Cheng Jin, he could tell that Cheng Jin was very strong and had quick thinking. As the leader of the hidden arrows, he was definitely not a mediocre person. She said with a stern expression, "Please help me Dark Arrow. At the very least, I am more confident in capturing an assassin ?"
Before she could finish his words, Gu Chen impatiently said, "If there's no hidden arrow, I'm confident I can capture all of the assassins!" Pausing for a moment, he continued, "If Lady Yan is here to speak up for the Dark Arrow, then there is no need." With that, he turned and walked back into the mansion.
Yan Xi secretly sighed, this person's temper was truly stubborn. She caught up and said, "You guys are going to capture the assassin. I'll go with you."
"You?" Gu Chen turned around to look at her, and said: "Miss is someone close to the King, if you lose something, I won't be able to take responsibility."
Knowing that he misunderstood, Yan Xi did not explain and only smiled. "General Gu, please do not look down on me, maybe at the critical moment, I can help you!"
As long as he did not delay matters, it was fine as long as he got in his way! Gu Chen muttered in his heart, but he did not dare to say these words out loud. He did not agree, and did not object. It could be said that he had tacitly agreed.
Very quickly, the troops had finished assembling, and ten thousand Lieutenant's Mansion soldiers had arrived. Gu Chen did not delay any longer, and immediately had the Ruffian leader lead the way, leading the huge army straight towards the house in East of City. Gu Chong was worried about letting his nephew go alone to cause trouble, hence he followed him as well.
Gu Chen was arrogant yet arrogant, his ability was not weak at all. When he reached the house that the Ruffian leader had mentioned, he ordered the soldiers below to extinguish all the torches, and no one was allowed to make a sound. The soldiers split up and walked towards the house from two sides of the street.
Under his command, the soldiers moved quickly. Before long, they had already surrounded the house.
Gu Chen rode on his horse and looked around. Seeing that the troops under him had already surrounded the house to the third floor, the third floor, and there was not a drop of water coming out, he ordered the people to light the fire, and then, separating the troops in front, urged the horse to go out, and shouted towards the inside of the house: The people inside are listening, they have been surrounded, quickly surrender, and kill without mercy!
When he finished, the house was completely silent. There was no sound at all.2
Gu Chen frowned, looking at the leader standing beside him. The latter hastily said, "Young Master Gu, it's absolutely true that those people that would rather live here. Moreover, if they were to go out, my subordinates' brothers would definitely come and notify me. They're definitely inside right now!"
"I'll believe you for now!" Gu Chen turned and shouted: "Send a team in, see what's going on inside!"
As soon as he gave the order, a small group of soldiers leapt over the walls and into the yard.
Gu Chong, who was here with him, shook his head and said, "Stop messing around! It was simply nonsense! Just based on this scoundrel's words, you're sure the assassin is in this house? What if there was no one inside? What if there were ordinary people living inside? our Lieutenant's Mansion has almost lost all face ? "
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Gu Chen could not hold it in and interrupted: "Uncle, there are so many of us, and with such a big battle formation, and me shouting so loudly, even the dead would be woken up, but look at this house, there's no movement at all. "Besides, there are no weeds on the walls, and no cobwebs on the porch. This must be a house that someone is living in, isn't that unusual?"
Gu Chong blinked his eyes and took a closer look. It was just as Gu Chen had said, after carefully thinking about it, he also felt that something was wrong. On the other hand, Yan Xi revealed a look of praise, thinking that this Gu Chen was not simple!
The soldiers of the first squad, ten people, climbed over the walls and entered the mansion, as if they had been swallowed up by the dark and lifeless mansion, not to mention no one else coming out.
As time passed, everyone began to get nervous. They looked at each other and couldn't help shivering.
Now, Gu Chen was 100% sure that there was a problem with the house, he did not wait anymore, he turned his head and shouted: "Smash open the courtyard door, if you encounter any resistance, capture him, or else you will be killed, as long as you do not let the enemy escape!"
"Yes!" "General!"
"Yes!" The Lieutenant's Mansion Soldiers replied in unison. The crowd lifted the thick wooden stake, and more than ten people carried it with them, and used all their strength to slam it against the gate.
How could an ordinary gate withstand such an impact? With just three hits, the door was broken, the door was broken, and a large number of soldiers swarmed in. At the same time, countless of soldiers also jumped over the wall.
In an instant, the quiet courtyard house became chaotic, and sounds of battle continuously sounded out.
Sure enough, there were people lurking within. Gu Chen waved his hand and sent all of the Spirit Cultivator s inside the Lieutenant's Mansion.
As more and more soldiers entered, the sounds of fighting inside became more and more intense.
Gu Chen sat on the horse and did not move. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the door of the courtyard. Gu Chong, on the other hand, was a little nervous as he leaned his horse closer to Gu Chen and asked: "Chen'er, could it be that the assassin is really hiding in this house?"
"Although I'm not sure, but it's most likely to be true." Gu Chen revealed a confident smile.
"If it really is an assassin, then this time... "Our uncle and nephew's faces are really ugly ?" Gu Chong said while wiping his cold sweat. Listening to his tone, it was unknown if he was happy or afraid.
Gu Chen secretly rolled his eyes at his uncle. Sometimes he couldn't help but doubt the King's eyes, how could his uncle, such a timid and fearful person, sit in such an important position like a first lieutenant!
Yan Xi watched on from the side and thought that the uncle and nephew duo was very interesting. Even though their seniority was higher than Gu Chong, and even though their ranks were higher than his, they still listened to his every movement of their Lieutenant's Mansion.
"Uncle, don't worry. With nephew around, none of the thieves will escape ?"
Just as Gu Chen was comforting Gu Chong, suddenly there were a few screams coming from the porch, following that, a black shadow ran out.
This man had a white armor over him, but it was already dyed red. After coming out, he rushed towards Gu Chong. The enemy clearly understood the principle of capturing the thief first and capturing the king. Being surrounded by so many soldiers, even a powerful warrior might not be able to get out. If he wanted to escape, he could only hold the enemy leader hostage.
Seeing a Spirit Cultivator covered in blood suddenly running towards him, Gu Chong was scared out of his wits. He screamed and instinctively leaned back, his hand still holding onto the reins of the horse.
Gu Chong couldn't sit still any longer and fell down while leaning back. Seeing that, the surrounding soldiers rushed forward to support him. At the same time, another portion of the troops went to stop the Spirit Cultivator who was rushing out.
Before the soldiers could even get close, the man had already brandished his Spirit Wave, causing a few soldiers to be unable to dodge in time and were slashed by the Spirit Wave, causing them to scream miserably as they fell onto the ground. With the spirit sword in hand, the man charged into the army as if there was no one around. The soldiers in front of him fell to the ground in a row, with broken limbs and arms flying above their heads from time to time.
What a powerful Spirit Cultivator! Yan Xi secretly shouted in her heart, but just as she was about to pull out her sword to fight, a person's figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
