Jiang Hao did not pay attention to the lady's feigned mysteriousness. He replied in a low voice, grateful. "I'm fine, I just fell. Miss Meng Yao need not worry."
"Lord Jiang, you must not be careless. In case you hurt your bones and fail to treat your injuries in time, there will be endless trouble in the future." The lady kindly said, "I have some top-notch medicine, I'll go get it right now!"
After Jiang Hao heard this, he was very pleased, and said emotionally: "Then I'll be troubling Miss Meng Yao."
The lady smiled and said softly, "Lord Jiang, why do you need to be so courteous to me?!" With that, she took two steps back, cupped her hands towards Jiang Hao and turned to leave.
The conversation between the two was very quiet. Even the guards standing close by could not hear it clearly. As for the lady, after she left, she did not return to her own residence at all and instead chased after Gu Anmin.
Just then, Gu Anmin was about to return to the Zhen Jun camp, and halfway through his journey, he suddenly heard someone call out from behind: "General Gu, please hold ?"
Gu Anmin reined his horse, turned his head around and saw the young girl in the prime of her youth, who had injured his guard earlier, running over quickly.
What was she after? Gu Anmin frowned, and when the lady got closer, he sneered, and asked: "What? Was it Jiang Hao who sent you? "
The lady walked in front of Gu Anmin, her expression serious, raised her head and said: "Not really! Just now, if I have offended the General Gu in any way, I hope that General will forgive me.
Even though she was young, her speech was well-ordered, not humble, and not in accordance with her age. Gu Anmin thought it was interesting, he immediately bent down and sized her up, then laughed and asked: "Little girl, what's your name?"
"Meng Yao! Xu Mengyao! " the girl replied.
Xu Mengyao! " "Hm, a very nice name." Gu Anmin laughed: "From his accent, I think Miss Meng Yao is from Zhen Country."
"Yes!" Xu Mengyao didn't want to hide the truth and answered frankly.
Gu Anmin said with a stern expression: "Since you are People of Zhen Country, then why is Miss Meng Yao helping Jiang Hao? This person is a traitor of my Zhen Country, so Miss Meng Yao should stay away from him. "
Hearing this, Xu Mengyao slowly lowered her head, her cherry lips slightly opened, as she said softly in a pitiful tone.
However, her voice was too low, and even Gu Anmin did not hear what she said. His body subconsciously moved closer to Xu Mengyao again, and said: "If Miss has anything difficult to say, feel free to say it, I am here, don't worry!"
Xu Mengyao exhaled, raised her head, and looked at Gu Anmin's concerned eyes. She said weakly: "General Gu is right, Jiang Hao is indeed a traitor of Zhen Country.
Gu Anmin did not expect this beautiful little girl to be an understanding person, so he hurriedly asked: "But what?"
"However, when talking about the number one thief in Zhen Country, I'm afraid no one can compare to you, General Gu!" As he said that, Xu Mengyao's voice suddenly became extremely gloomy, just as Gu Anmin was startled, and suddenly realised something was wrong, Xu Mengyao suddenly raised his hand, and fiercely thrust forward.
A cold light suddenly appeared in the air, flying straight towards Gu Anmin's chest. Fast! Her sudden attack had been too fast. As a Chief General, even though Gu Anmin's Spiritual Martial Cultivation could not be considered outstanding, they were definitely not weak either.
But the distance between him and Xu Mengyao was too close. Furthermore, while he was riding the horse, he was bent down, so it was not convenient for him to move. Even before he could cover up his spirit armor, Xu Mengyao's killing move had already arrived in front of him.
With a pu sound from his eardrum, Xu Mengyao's dagger that was hidden in his sleeve pierced deeply into Gu Anmin's chest. The latter screamed and fell off his horse.
All of the guards around them were dumbfounded. They never would have thought that Jiang Hao's Subordinate, who was also an extremely beautiful lady, would actually suddenly attack the general. When they finally reacted, it was already too late for them to save him.
With the strike landing, Xu Mengyao did not stop at all and immediately turned towards the small alley beside the street. Gu Anmin's dozen or so guards regained their senses and shouted, leaving behind a few people to save the heavily injured Gu Anmin, while the rest followed him out.
Xu Mengyao was a Spiritual Martial Expert, after entering the alleyway, she immediately donned her Spirit Armor, and with a speed like a tornado, she circled around the alleyway seven and eight times, leaving behind the guards who were chasing him. Xu Mengyao quickly entered the alleyway.
On the other side, the remaining guards surrounded Gu Anmin in a panic and checked his wounds. The long dagger seemed to pierce into his chest, and in the blink of an eye, a large amount of blood flowed out, staining his chest red.
At this time, Gu Anmin breathed out more and gasped for air. He closed his eyes and his face was ashen, he looked like he was about to collapse. The guards looked at each other, and one of them said anxiously, "Quick, help the general back to the camp!"
Zhen Jun Army's base was outside the city, if they wanted to carry Gu Anmin out of the city now, they would probably be dead by the time they got halfway. The other guard shook his head and said, "It's too late. Let's go to the County Head Palace. There are royal doctors there!"
"Right, right, right! Hurry and carry the general to County Head Palace! " The guards immediately lifted Gu Anmin up and ran towards the County Head Palace like his butt was on fire.
Very quickly, news of Gu Anmin's assassination reached Tang Yin and Ling Shuang's ears. When the two of them heard it, their faces changed.
Gu Anmin had only left the County Head Palace for a short while, why was he suddenly ambushed? Without time to think, the two of them went to check on Gu Anmin's injuries.2
At this time, Gu Anmin had already been placed in the guest room of County Head Palace, where the royal doctors of the Wind, Jade, An and Huan four nations were urgently trying to rescue him.
When Tang Yin and Ling Shuang was alright, it was not so lively inside. The doctors were all very busy, with their heads covered in sweat, and the servants waiting on them went in and out. Pots of blood were taken out, and pots of fresh water were sent in continuously.
Right now, Tang Yin could not squeeze himself forward, the beds were filled with doctors and maids, he did not want himself to disturb the doctors' rescue. His gaze turned to the side and saw Gu Anmin's guards standing there with ashen faces.
He strode forward, reached out his hand and grabbed one of them by the collar, turned back, and shouted, "Speak! What was going on? Who did this? Where is the assassin now? "
"Return... Reporting to Feng King, Sting ? The assassin was one of Jiang Hao's subordinates. He's gone now... However ? "The brothers are already in pursuit ?"
Ling Shuang raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Are you saying that the assassin assassinated the General Gu right under your noses, and then you all watched the assassin run away?"
All the guards trembled as their legs gave way and they kneeled on the ground, saying, "Dang ? None of us thought of the river at the time... "Lord Jiang's subordinates will assassinate the general ?"
"Useless thing!" Tang Yin pushed the guard he was holding hard, his face was frighteningly gloomy.
These guards were all People of Zhen Country, and were all Gu Anmin's old subordinates, so why would they pick anyone with such a good spirit weapon? By right, Gu Anmin should be able to bring them along, their loyalty was beyond doubt, and they should have a lot of experience, so why did they make such a big mistake?
Tang Yin turned his head and shouted: "Cheng Jin!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Cheng Jin hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Go investigate!" Investigate Jiang Hao, investigate the assassins! "Find out what happened!" Tang Yin clenched his fist and said.
"Yes!" "Great King!" Cheng Jin came in quickly and left quickly. After a while, he disappeared.
Not long after, Yue Ze and Li Xin heard the news and rushed over. The two could not see how Gu Anmin's injuries were faring, but through the cracks in the crowd, they could see the bloodstains all over the bed.
The two of them were secretly speechless, it seemed like Gu Anmin was injured too!
It didn't matter if he died, but what about the two hundred thousand soldiers under his command? Who will be in command from now on? When their side was advancing to the west, who could persuade the local army to lower their Zhen Country, making their side's advancement twice the result with half the effort?
It could be said that Gu Anmin was too important to them. If he died, the alliance of the four nations Feng, Yu, An and Huan would suffer immense losses.
"Younger Royal Brother Tang, everything is fine, how did General Gu get ambushed?" Yue Ze looked at the emergency treatment on the bed and asked while leaning in front of Tang Yin with his mouth wide open.
"It's under investigation now." Tang Yin's face was gloomy and cold, he shook his head and said: "I now know even more than Elder Royal Brother Yue!"
"This is f * cking clear!" Li Xin did not have the bearing of a sovereign as he scolded rudely. Actually, he was a vulgar person that did not care about small details.
That's right! The assassin was very smart! In the alliance of the four nations, there were so many commanders that he did not try to assassinate, yet he chose to kill Gu Anmin. Tang Yin gritted his teeth, and remained silent.
After some emergency treatment, the doctors stopped and looked at each other. The royal doctors of Ann Country braced themselves and walked over to Tang Yin and the other kings, bowed to them, and said with a trembling voice, "My lords, we ? I tried my best, but... But General Gu's injuries are truly too severe, please forgive us for our incompetence ? "
Hearing this, Tang Yin and the other three felt their hearts cool. Yue Ze angrily asked: "Are you going to live or not?"
The Ann Country Imperial Doctor gulped, his head drooping even lower, not daring to reply with a single word.
Silence was the best answer. Yue Ze angrily waved his hand to slap the imperial physician, and scolded: "Why are you doing this to me?! You can save me or I'll save you. Even if you can't, you have to save this king! If General Gu dies, this king will take your head first! "
The imperial doctors of the Ann Country and the other three kingdoms all knelt on the ground at the same time, all of them shivering and sweating like it was raining.
"Why are all of you kneeling here? Hurry and save them! " Li Xin shouted to the crowd.
"With such heavy injuries, even if the deities were to come now, they still wouldn't be able to save him!" The last one to leave the bed was Su Yelei, she shook her head at Tang Yin helplessly.
They were doctors, and as long as there was even a sliver of hope, they would never give up. Watching the wounded die, they were truly helpless.
