V2.Chapter 96

When Gu Chen arrived at the Lieutenant's residence with the local ruffian leader, Gu Chong was still there. It can also be said that he didn't go at all. He was sitting in the lobby, booing and sighing.

Gu Chen glanced at his uncle and said nothing. He asked someone to summon the soldiers under the Lieutenant's house and follow him to catch the suspect.

Gu Chong was stunned, suspect? Where's the suspect? He stood up and asked, "Gu Chen, what suspect?"

Gu Chen frowned and said, "uncle, nephew has just received the news that a group of Ning people are likely to have something to do with the assassins who assassinated the king. I'll catch them now!"

Gu Chong inhaled and immediately asked, "can you confirm?"

Gu Chen shook her head and said, "whether it is or not, you will know when you catch it back!"

Hearing this, Gu Chong was a little discouraged again. In his eyes, Gu Chen is the black sheep of the family. He mixes with some vulgar people who are not three or four and can't get on the table all day. Of course, it is precisely because of this that he forcibly pulls Gu Chen into the Lieutenant's house and makes him a military commander. The man against the wind can't even find out the hidden arrow. What can his useless nephew find out?

Gu Chong shook his head again and again and muttered, "I've been badly hurt by you this time... Three days later, we can't keep our heads..."

The more Gu Chen listened to his uncle's depressed words, the more angry he became. He simply went out of the lobby and waited outside for the army to assemble.

Before the army arrived, Yan Xi came first. Yan Xi lived in the inn opposite the Lieutenant's house. Seeing that the Lieutenant's house was calm just now, it suddenly became lively, and a large number of troops gathered outside the house one after another. She didn't know what happened, so she came to have a look.

When the guard at the door came in and reported to Gu Chen, the latter didn't think about it, waved and said, "no! Now I can't see anyone!"

"She said she was sent by the king!"

okay? Gu Chen was stunned, subconsciously frowned, and then walked out.

He had never heard of Yan Xi's name, but he had met Yan Xi. He remembered that she was with him when the king was assassinated, but he didn't know exactly what Yan Xi was. After seeing Yan Xi at the door of the mansion, Gu Chen stepped forward, bowed politely and asked, "Miss Yan was sent by the king?"

Yan Xi had a good impression of Gu Chen. He felt that the young man was both energetic and courageous. She smiled and said, "I'm here to help you track down the assassin." The reason why she just added to the bodyguard was that the king sent her, mainly because she was afraid that others would not see her.

Gu Chen reluctantly smiled and said, "please go back and tell the king that there will be clues at the end, and there is no need for others to help."

There's a clue so soon?! Yan Xi was surprised and looked at Gu Chen with new eyes. She asked suspiciously, "general Gu gathered his army just to catch the assassin?"

"That's right!"

"The assassins are powerful. They are all Lingwu experts. I think general Gu should inform general Cheng first and ask a hidden arrow to help catch the assassin." Yan Xi kindly reminded him.

Gu Chen's face was slightly heavy and sneered, "please use a hidden arrow? Can't my Lieutenant's house handle the case without a hidden arrow?" From the heart, Gu Chen despised the hidden arrow and felt that it was just a group of people who thought they were great by virtue of their close relationship with the king.

Listening to his words, Yan Xi despised the hidden arrow. Through the communication with Cheng Jin in the afternoon, she saw that Cheng Jin had strong ability and quick thinking. As the leader of the hidden arrow, she was by no means mediocre. She said positively, "please help me with the hidden arrow. At least I'm more sure when I catch the assassin..."

Before she finished, Gu Chen planned impatiently: "there is no hidden arrow, I am sure to catch all the assassins!" After a pause, he said again, "if Miss Yan came to speak for the hidden arrow, it's not necessary." Then he turned and walked to the house.

Yan Xi sighed. This man's temper is really stubborn. She caught up and said, "you're going to catch the assassin. I'll go with you."

"You?" Gu Chen looked back at her and said, "the girl is the person around the king. In case of loss, I can't afford it."

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Yan Xi did not explain, but smiled and said, "general Gu, don't look down on people. Maybe I can help you at the critical moment!"

As long as you don't delay the business, just get in your way! Gu Chen muttered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. He didn't agree or object. It was acquiescence.

Soon, the army was assembled and all 10000 troops from the Lieutenant's house were present. Without further delay, Gu Chen asked the ruffian leader to lead him. He led the army straight to the house in the east of the city. Gu Chong didn't trust his nephew to go fooling around alone, and some followed him.

Gu Chen's arrogance returned to arrogance, and his ability was not bad at all. When he was about to reach the house mentioned by the ruffian leader, he ordered the soldiers below to put out all the torches. No one was allowed to make a sound. He divided his troops in two ways and approached the house from both ends of the street.

Under his command, the soldiers moved quickly and quietly surrounded the house in a short time.

Gu Chen rode on his horse and looked up. Seeing that his soldiers had surrounded the house on the inner and outer floors, he ordered people to light torches. Then he separated the soldiers in front, urged the horse to go out, and shouted at the house: "listen to the people inside, this place has been surrounded. Come out and surrender quickly. Dare to resist and kill without mercy!"

When he finished shouting, the house was silent and there was no movement at all.

Gu Chen frowned and looked at the ruffian leader standing next to his horse. The latter said hurriedly, "master Gu, it's true that those Ning people live here. Moreover, if they go out, my brothers will come and inform me. They must be inside now!"

"I believe you for the time being!" Gu Chen turned her head and shouted, "send a team to go in and see what's going on inside!"

The soldiers jumped into the yard immediately.

Gu Chong, who came with him, shook his head and said, "nonsense! It's nonsense! Just by this ruffian's words, you can be sure that the assassin is in this house? What if there's no one in it? What if ordinary people live in it? Our Lieutenant's house has to lose its face..."

Before he finished, Gu Chen could not help interrupting: "uncle, there are so many of us, such a big formation, and I shouted so loudly that even the dead have to be awakened, but you see there is no movement in the house. In addition, there are no weeds under the courtyard wall and no cobwebs on the porch. This must be the house where someone lives. Isn't it abnormal?"

Gu Chong blinked his eyes and looked around. He really thought about it carefully as Gu Chen said. He also felt something wrong. Yan Xi on the other side showed his appreciation and secretly said that Gu Chen was not simple!

A small group of soldiers, ten people, climbed over the wall and entered the house, like a stone sinking into the sea. Let alone no one came out, there was no sound at all, as if they had been swallowed by the dark and lifeless house.

As time went by, people began to get nervous, looked at each other and couldn't help fighting the cold war.

Now Gu Chen has 100% confirmed that there is a problem with the house. He no longer waited. He shouted on his side: "knock the gate open to me. If you can catch it in case of resistance, otherwise there will be no amnesty. Just don't let the enemy go!"

"Yes, general!"

The officers and men of the Lieutenant's house responded. People carried thick wooden stakes. More than a dozen people held them and hit the gate with all their strength.

The ordinary courtyard door could not withstand such impact. It only hit three times. The door fork broke, the door broke, and a large number of soldiers swarmed in. At the same time, countless soldiers jumped over the wall.

In an instant, the quiet house turned into chaos, and then the sound of fighting came out continuously.

Sure enough, someone lurked in it. Gu Chen waved and sent all the few spiritual practitioners in the Lieutenant's house.

As more and more soldiers entered, the sound of fighting inside became more and more intense.

Gu Chen sat on the horse and didn't move. He squinted at the gate of the courtyard. Gu Chong seemed a little nervous. He leaned the horse against Gu Chen and asked, "chen'er, is the assassin really hiding in this house?"

"Although not determined, nine times out of ten." Gu Chen showed a confident smile.

"If it's really an assassin, this time... My uncle and nephew's face is big..." Gu Chong said tremblingly while wiping his cold sweat. Listening to his tone, he didn't know whether he was happy or afraid.

Gu Chen secretly glanced at his uncle. Sometimes he had to doubt the king's vision. How could he let his uncle, a timid and timid man, sit in such an important position as a lieutenant!

Yan Xi looked at the two uncles and nephews and thought it was very interesting. Gu Chong had a big generation and a high official rank, but the actions of the Lieutenant's house were all heard by Gu Chen. It really should be said that one generation is better than another.

"Don't worry, uncle. If you have a nephew, none of the thieves can escape..."

Gu Chen was comforting Gu Chong. Suddenly, several screams came out of the porch, and then a dark shadow came out of it.

The man was covered with white spirit armor, but it had been dyed red at this time. After coming out, he went straight to Gu Chong and Gu Chen. Obviously, the other party also understands the truth of catching the thief and the king first. Surrounded by so many officers and soldiers, no matter how strong Lingwu is, he may not be able to kill. If he wants to get away, he can only hold the other party's leader and maybe there is hope.

Seeing a spirit cultivator with blood all over him suddenly running towards him, Gu Chong was scared out of his wits, screamed and instinctively leaned back. He still held the reins of the horse in his hand and pulled it back. The war horse ate through and barked strangely. His two front hoofs were also raised high, and the whole horse was about to stand up.

Gu Chong couldn't sit still on the horse and fell back. Seeing this, the soldiers around rushed up and helped him up. At the same time, some soldiers stopped the spiritual cultivator who was killed.

Before the soldiers approached, the man had waved a spiritual wave. Several soldiers could not dodge. They were cut straight by the spiritual wave, and people screamed and fell to the ground. Holding a spirit sword, the man rushed into the army and soldiers. If he was in a deserted place, the soldiers in front of him fell to the ground in rows. The broken limbs and arms flew from the top of the crowd from time to time, and the sound of screams continued.

What a powerful spiritual cultivator! Yan Xi secretly shouted in his heart. Just about to draw a sword to fight, one person's figure first rushed to the other party.
