Chapter 402

Mu Chaoyang's face is gloomy and Jun's face is full of anger. He didn't expect that Xiahou could do such a heartless thing for his daughter.

Xia Xiaoxiao's life is life, isn't the life of Jiangnan people? Xia Xiaoxiao is her daughter. Who is not a child or a parent?

Knot, he took out a small crossbow from his arms, straight to the sky. Suddenly, the sharp sound of breaking the air rang out, which was the signal of his contact with the forbidden army.

Mu Chaoyang and Gu Xiaoxiao have the same idea, but at this time, he no longer corrects it.

GU Xiaoxiao frowns. Her first reaction is Xia Hou, but these days, Xia Hou's whereabouts have been controlled by them. It is reasonable to say that if Xia Hou is looking for someone to assassinate, they will receive news.

"To assassinate the emperor and the queen is too bold."

Looking at the mess all over the land, Mu Chaoyang and Gu Xiaoxiao's hearts are heavy.

Mu Chaoyang and Gu Xiaoxiao didn't kill themselves, but the five men in black wanted to bite the medicine bag in their mouth. Mu Chaoyang quickly took off a man's chin, which left a living. The man couldn't stand the severe pain and fainted directly.

Not long after that, the five men in black fell to the ground, with a strong smell of blood in the alley.

Gu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, looks at who escaped Mu Chaoyang's long knife and mends it for him.

Mu Chaoyang and Gu Xiaoxiao look after each other. They work together to knock a man in black out. Mu Chaoyang takes the man's long knife and protects Gu Xiaoxiao.

Gu Xiaoxiao can see at a glance that these people are professional killers. These people act neatly, and they don't answer Gu Xiaoxiao's questions. They rush at them directly.

"By whom are you directed?"

With the shooting of the sharp arrow, five people in black appeared in the empty alley, all of them holding long knives.

Suddenly a sharp arrow shot at Gu Xiaoxiao. Gu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and turned his hands. The arrow with cold light was shot down by the dagger.

Mu Chaoyang protects Gu Xiaoxiao behind him with a steady voice. Gu Xiaoxiao is warm in her heart. She holds the exquisite dagger she carries and pays attention to the movement behind Mu Chaoyang.

"Come out."

However, at this time, both Mu Chaoyang and Gu Xiaoxiao have no time to enjoy the excitement.

Mu Chaoyang and Gu Xiaoxiao look at each other and turn into a secluded alley. The alley is empty and not far away is the noisy main street.

Mu Chaoyang's eyes are touching. He gently takes Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, and the smile on his lips is full of tenderness. However, at this time, the two faces are again, they feel the strong killing around.

"I'll make it up to you when it's over."

Gu Xiaoxiao chuckled: "who let me be your wife, and my husband is a diligent and loving person, so I have to sacrifice my life to accompany a gentleman."

And Gu Xiaoxiao also took pains to accompany him to solve his problems, which he saw in his eyes.

Mu Chaoyang's eyes are mixed with seven points of pity and three points of guilt. These days, he corrects memorials, plans the establishment of spy network, and lights up the hall of diligent government all night.

"Xiaoxiao, you've been working hard these days."

It happened to be the Qiqiao Festival. It was very busy in Beijing. The streets were full of people. Mu Chaoyang and Gu Xiaoxiao walked side by side, enjoying this rare moment of comfort.

Mu Chao Yang was taken out of the palace to breathe.

Gu Xiaoxiao is very busy these days. On the one hand, she wants to help Mu Chaoyang improve the organization of the spy network, on the other hand, she has to plan the route of her envoy to Dayan.

Fortunately, after Qi Yuting left, Xia Hou was quiet and stayed in the mansion peacefully. Occasionally, his old colleagues came to visit him. Besides, there was nothing else.

Most importantly, this will make Xiahou think that Mu Chaoyang doesn't know his secret moves. At this time, Xiahou is in the light, Mu Chaoyang is in the dark, and everything is under his control.

At the same time, Mu Chaoyang ordered the northern border to strengthen military training. On the one hand, he deterred those who had contacts with Xia Hou in Dayan, and on the other hand, he also took preventive measures. After ten years of stability in the northern border, the army would inevitably relax its vigilance.

He also sent people to spy on the general's house, especially the correspondence between Xia Hou.

After the imperial court of Qi left, Mu Chaoyang strengthened the guard in the capital. The next day, the imperial court of Qi ordered Qi people and horses, escorted the money from the imperial court to Jiangnan, accompanied by Su rou. Although Su Rou was a woman, she was brought up by Su Xiaojin from childhood. She was more clear about the shape of Jiangnan than the imperial court of Qi.

Gu Xiaoxiao was slightly relieved by Mu Chaoyang's promise, but seeing that his face was still not good-looking, he knew that he was worried about himself, so he gently advised him.

"It's not urgent. You can set out after the scientific examination, so as not to attract people's attention. Then you must protect yourself."

Mu Chaoyang walks in the hall with his hands on his back, and Gu Xiaoxiao doesn't urge him to give him time to think about it. After half a cup of tea, Mu Chaoyang opened his mouth.

I'm the one you trust most. I'm not the only one with Dayan, and you know my skills. I'll guarantee my safety. ""Chaoyang, I know you're worried about me, but there is an undercurrent in the court, and Mu Chaoyang looks at Gu Xiaoxiao helplessly. He didn't expect that Gu Xiaoxiao would not give up his mission to Dayan. Just as he tried to dissuade him, he was interrupted by Gu Xiaoxiao.

Gu Xiaoxiao showed a smile: "so you see, you don't need a smart messenger to inquire about the reality for you?"

"It's true, but Xiahou has been running the northern border for decades. Although this is a false alarm, I still suspect that he has contacts with Dayan, otherwise such false news will not reach the capital."

Mu Chaoyang nodded slightly. At this time, he also saw clearly that Xiahou really wanted to suppress him by taking advantage of Dayan's power. If there was no war in the Northern Territory, it would be easier to deal with the affairs in the imperial court.

"Chaoyang, in fact, if our guess is true, doesn't it mean that the war in the north is actually the summer Marquis who wants to cover it up? In this way, there is no need to worry about the war. "

But Xiahou is the general of the garrison. It's a national tragedy for a general to have such a thing happen to him.

Gu Xiaoxiao sighed. She could understand Mu Chaoyang's mood. If she changed to another minister, Mu Chaoyang would not be so angry.

Mu Chaoyang was so angry that his palm fell on the table, and the good pear wood table broke up in an instant.

After a while, Li Deqian, the leader of the March, came with a team of people. When he saw the situation in the alley, Li Deqian was almost scared. He quickly knelt down and pleaded with Mu Chaoyang.

"Please forgive me for my dereliction of duty and let these bandits enter the capital."

"It's all right. I'm going to visit the queen in Weifu this time, so it's not appropriate to make it known. There is a living member in this group. Take him down for secret interrogation and tell me the result tomorrow. "
