C986

Following the voice, Shangguan Yuanbiao walked out of the Palace. He was worried that third brother Yuanwu's injuries would cause him to be unable to sleep even now, so he got frustrated staying in his room. He went out to take a walk and found out that Gu Chen and the guard at the door were in a conflict.

Seeing Shangguan Yuanbiao, the guards stood up straight and cupped their hands respectfully, "General Yuanbiao!" As their bodyguard, Shangguan Yuanbiao was one of their boss, the bodyguards did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

Seeing that Shangguan Yuanbiao had arrived, Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. No matter how arrogant he was, he understood that if he were to fight with the guards, he would still be the unlucky one.

He took a deep breath, adjusted the armor on his body, took two steps forward, and stood in front of Shangguan Yuanbiao, saying seriously: "General Yuanbiao, I have already caught the assassins who assassinated the King, the assassins have already confessed. This is their confession!" As he spoke, he carefully took out a stack of blood books.

Ah? Shangguan Yuanbiao was shocked upon hearing this. The assassination attempt that the King had encountered during the day, and her Lieutenant's Mansion had actually caught the assassin that very night, was simply too efficient.

He hurriedly received the confession letter and looked at it for a bit before giving it back to Gu Chen, and said: "All of you, follow me in!" With that, he turned to the guards at the door and said in a deep voice, "This is a very serious matter, who gave you the right not to report it?"

The guards were dumbfounded. They looked at each other in dismay, then lowered their heads. They did not even dare to breathe as they silently retreated.

"Humph!" Shangguan Yuanbiao let out another heavy snort, and brought the Gu family's uncle and nephew along with Yan Xi into the Duke Palace, rushing straight towards Tang Yin's room. When they arrived, they did not even have time to spare. Only after asking the maids below did they find out that Tang Yin was sleeping in Wu Mei's room tonight.

Shangguan Yuanbiao brought the other three to Wu Mei's courtyard.

Gu Chong, Gu Chen, and Yan Xi were left outside the courtyard by Shangguan Yuanbiao, so he herself would first go and report to them.

Tang Yin, who was still sleeping, was woken up by the servant. His face did not look good, and his tone did not sound good either, but he was afraid to disturb Wu Mei, who was beside him.

"King, General Yuanbiao requests an audience!" The maid plucked up her courage and whispered.

Yuanbiao? He did not know why Yuanbiao would come to see him so late at night. Could it be that Yuanwu's injuries had changed? Thinking about that, Tang Yin shuddered and without sleepiness, he sat up and said: "Quick, let Yuanbiao in!"

"Yes!" "Great King!"

The maid answered and left hurriedly. Tang Yin stood up and casually put down the curtains, then quickly began to put on his clothes.

Not long later, Shangguan Yuanbiao walked in from the outside. Even though he was someone close to Tang Yin, he did not dare squint when he entered his room. He walked up to Tang Yin and cupped his hands in greeting.

Tang Yin asked: "Did Yuanwu's injuries worsen?"

Shangguan Yuanbiao was startled, he then shook his head and said: "No, no, no! Your Majesty, don't worry. Third Brother's condition is very stable right now. "

After hearing that, Tang Yin's change in clothes immediately stopped, and his heart that was in his throat also dropped. However, after a moment, anger welled up in his heart, and he said coldly: "Then why did you look for me so late at night? Better give me a reasonable reason. "

King, Lieutenant's Mansion has already captured the assassin who tried to assassinate the King during the day. Now, General Gu Chong and General Gu Chen have brought the assassin confession.

"Oh?" Tang Yin suspected that he had misheard. His Lieutenant's Mansion did not even need a day to capture the assassin, this was simply too inconceivable. He first looked up and said, "Let them in."

Shangguan Yuanbiao looked at the collapsed bed with apprehension. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Yin changed his words and said, "Forget it, I'll go out first!"

"Yes!" "Great King!"

Tang Yin put on his clothes and walked out of his bedroom. When he arrived outside the courtyard, he saw Gu Chong, Gu Chen and Yan Xi waiting anxiously for him.

Seeing Tang Yin, Gu Chong, Yan Xi and the others all went forward to greet him. Tang Yin asked: "I heard that your Lieutenant's Mansion has already caught the assassin?"

"Yes, my lord!" Tonight, we will attack the assassin's stronghold and kill five assassins, and capture six assassins alive! " Gu Chong said, and indicated to Gu Chen, for him to give the confession to the King.

Gu Chen took out his confession letter, passed it in front of Tang Yin, and said in a small voice: "Your Majesty, please have a look."

Tang Yin took it and looked at it, then looked at Gu Chong and the others, and said: Come, let's talk in the study.

After leaving Wu Mei's courtyard, Tang Yin and his group arrived at the study room. The serving maids quickly lit up the lampstand and then lowered their heads to the side. Tang Yin waved his hands at them, saying, "You guys can leave first!"

The servants filed out, and only after all of them had left did Tang Yin sit down and carefully read the confession that Gu Chen had submitted.

He read every confession carefully, from beginning to end. After he finished reading, Tang Yin slapped the confession onto the table and said: "As expected, it was done with the Countercurrent Flow. It's a pity that we are still a step too late. If we can catch Zixu, then we will have the chance to uproot and eradicate the entire Countercurrent Flow. "1

Gu Chen nodded his head, and said: "According to the assassin, Zi Xu is the left messenger of Countercurrent Flow, and is extremely crafty, his movements are erratic and unpredictable, and he did not personally come to the scene to attack the King, instead he did not use his Yan City anymore."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, wanting to catch the crafty and cunning Zi Xu was not an easy matter. He smiled slightly, and asked: "The Lieutenant's Mansion case this time is truly out of this king's expectations!" As he spoke, he looked towards Gu Chong and said: "General Gu, this king will heavily reward you."

If something happened, Gu Chong would definitely hide far away. Now that he had received Tang Yin's praise, Gu Chong would not be merciful at all. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Thank you, Great King for your kindness."

Yan Xi almost laughed out loud at the side. Gu Chong's skin was really thick, from investigating the assassins to capturing them to interrogating them, Gu Chong did not exert any strength at all. She stole a glance at Gu Chen, who had a calm expression, and did not have any intention of competing with his uncle. Yan Xi could not help but let out a low snort of laughter.

Although her laughter was low, Tang Yin, who had excellent hearing, heard it. He misunderstood Yan Xi's meaning and said with a smile, "I'm sure that Sect Leader Yan has done a great deal to solve this case in such a short period of time.

After finally getting the chance to speak, Yan Xi shook her head like a rattle drum, and said: "On the contrary, from beginning to end, I did not use much strength, or perhaps, I simply did not have the chance to contribute at all.

"Huh?" This was out of Tang Yin's expectations, Yan Xi did not help at all, was her Lieutenant's Mansion the only way to solve the case? How was this possible? Tang Yin knew very well how powerful Gu Chong was, and how much ink he had in his stomach. Was it because he underestimated, or was it that Gu Chong was too incompetent, to be able to catch the Countercurrent Flow assassin who could not even use a hidden arrow?

Seeing the doubt on Tang Yin's face, Yan Xi couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised. In fact, Your Majesty does not understand General Gu Chen."

"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and his gaze also swept towards Gu Chen.

Yan Xi said solemnly: "The assassin's base was investigated by General Gu Chen, and the soldiers of Lieutenant's Mansion were led by General Gu Chen to besiege the assassin, and from start to finish, it was General Gu Chen who led the group. Although I participated in it, I was not able to provide any substantial help." Of course, Gu Chong didn't do anything either. The latter half of the sentence was what Yan Xi wanted to say the most.

Tang Yin was startled for a moment, then laughed, looking up and down at Gu Chen, he asked: "General Gu Chen, is what Sect Lord Yan said true?"

Gu Chen quickly said: "Sect Lord Yan is too polite, the assassin's evidence was found by Sect Lord Yan." While she was speaking, he told Tang Yin everything that had happened.

The more Tang Yin heard, the more surprised he was. He could not tell that Gu Chen, the young man, was actually this powerful, although Yan Xi had contributed a lot to the assassin, but in the matter of capturing the assassin, it was just as she had said. She did nothing, it was all done by Gu Chen herself. For Gu Chen to have such a strong ability, it would truly be a waste to be a regiment commander under Gu Chong.

He pondered for a moment, then asked expressionlessly: "Has General Gu Chen considered serving the army, and fighting for the country?"

The reason he said that was obviously to promote and nurture them, but Tang Yin was surprised to find that Gu Chen actually rejected him politely. The latter sternly said, "Thank you for your concern, Great King. However, my ability is limited, and I'm used to it. I'm afraid entering the military would only cause trouble for my fellow brothers. I feel like... It's still the best to stay in the Lieutenant's Mansion. "

In fact, it was not that Gu Chen did not want to join the army, he understood that joining the army would benefit him in his future, but he knew his uncle very well, if he did not help himself, his uncle would probably be fired after a few days in Lieutenant's Mansion. Gu Chong was now the pillar of the Gu family, and if he lost the power of a first lieutenant, the Gu family would decline very quickly. It was not because he did not have confidence in his own abilities, but because the main positions of the various legions had already been grasped by others. It would be very difficult for him to make a big change if he wanted to, for fear that after entering the legion, his uncle would step down and he would not be able to support the Gu family.

Tang Yin didn't understand Gu Chen's worries, seeing that he wasn't willing to join the army, he only thought to himself that it was a pity, but he was not too disappointed. After all, all of the main forces in the Feng Army were rich with talented people, so one less person shouldn't have too much of an impact.

He nodded and said, "All right! Since General Gu insist on staying in Lieutenant's Mansion, this king will not force you. " While speaking, he asked Gu Chong: "General Gu?"

"This official is here!"

"Do you have a first lieutenant in your Lieutenant's Mansion?"

Gu Chong did not know whether to laugh or cry, because there was no such title of general in Lieutenant's Mansion, but rather a first lieutenant position. He didn't dare to directly explain to Tang Yin that the King's question was wrong, so he could only shake his head and say, "Oh ? "Reporting to your majesty, there is no vice lieutenant in Lieutenant's Mansion yet ?"

"That's good, then let General Gu Chen be the first lieutenant, this way you can better support General Gu, I wonder what General Gu thinks?" Tang Yin asked with a smile.
