Chapter 42

Yuan Wenlie pulled out his sword from the bedside and protected Gu Qingquan behind him. After a while, Shi Dafang and others rushed to Yuan Wenlie's room.

"Grandpa! Are you okay?"

"It's okay, you all come in." Looking around carefully, he took Gu Qingquan's coat and put it on for him, and then put on the coat himself.

At this time, the quiet small village became noisy because of this shrill cry, and the lights of every house were lit up.

"Where did the sound come from?"

"I don't know, but it should be close."

"Oh, waiter, waiter, you... your companions are... dying in the back street of the shop..." The waiter with a pale face rushed over. He remembered that the woman and the group were together up.

"Come with us? That woman you said?"

"Yeah... Customer, she... she died horribly." The shop waiter seemed really terrified, trembling alone, and couldn't even speak clearly.

"Go, go out and have a look."

Shi Dafang was at the front, while Cheng Xiangnan was at the end to protect Yuan Wenlie and Gu Qingquan, while Li Shu and the Li Wen brothers walked on both sides.

Walking to the back street of the inn, it was very dark. Fortunately, the waiter in the shop sent several lanterns, otherwise they really couldn't see clearly.Approaching the place, there were already many people watching nearby, and the villagers gave way when they saw that the waiter said that they had found their companions.

Gu Qingquan was hugged tightly by Yuan Wenlie, because Gu Qingquan was the only one in the company who didn't know martial arts, so Yuan Wenlie didn't dare to take it lightly.

Taking a closer look, the corpse could no longer tell the male from the female, because the corpse had been cut to pieces, and I don't know how many times it had been hacked and stabbed with swords. face.

"Who did such a cruel thing to an unarmed and weak woman?" Shi Dafang shook his head.

Gu Qingquan only took a glance but couldn't see anything, because Yuan Wenlie was afraid that Gu Qingquan would be afraid, so he buried his head in his arms to prevent him from seeing the terrifying scene in front of him.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Gu Qingquan poked his head out very hard. In fact, he had seen more horrible scenes when he was practicing medicine with his parents. It's not that he wasn't frightened, but he didn't have the kindness Yuan Wenlie thought .

"What's so strange?"

"Why is only the face intact? It seems that she deliberately let people know her identity."

"You're right...be careful!!" Yuan Wenlie felt a cold murderous aura behind him, picked up Gu Qingquan and dodged to the side, several cold lights brushed across his left cheek.

"Protect the master!"

Several figures seemed to be lying in ambush, flashing out from all directions, and their target was obviously Yuan Wenlie.Shi Dafang and others raised their weapons and started fighting with the man in black. Suddenly, the narrow alley was full of swords and swords, and the ignorant villagers only knew how to shout and dodge left and right, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

Because he was holding Gu Qingquan who didn't know martial arts in his arms, Yuan Wenlie could only fight with one hand, and the visitor was obviously coming from him, every move and style was aimed at him.After several moves, the man in black knew that Yuan Wenlie was devoted to protecting the man in his arms, so he changed his moves to attack Gu Qingquan.Now fighting with one hand, but also protecting Gu Qingquan's safety, no matter how good Yuan Wenlie's kung fu is, he still feels extremely strenuous at this moment.

Fortunately, the assassins were not top-notch experts, so Shi Dafang and the others quickly got rid of everyone in their hands.With four more assists, Yuan Wenlie and others quickly eliminated the enemy.

Originally, Yuan Wenlie wanted to keep some survivors alive for investigation, but it seems that the enemy sent all the dead soldiers, who committed suicide by taking poison after the operation failed, and there was not even a single survivor left.

"Grandpa, this place is not safe."

"It must be that the news of the grandfather leaving the palace has spread."

"Don't worry, go and pack everything first, we'll leave here overnight."

"Yes."

The quick-moving people packed up their things and left the small village overnight without daring to stop the carriage. It was not until dawn that Yuan Wenlie told everyone to stop and rest.

"Brother Wen, let's go back to the palace." Gu Qingquan was scared, the purpose of the assassin was obviously to come for Yuan Wenlie, and the battle last night made him understand that he had become a burden to everyone.It was only a few days away from Beijing, if he rushed back quickly, he might be able to return to the palace the day after tomorrow. Although he really wanted to go back to his hometown, he couldn't ignore everyone's safety.

"Koizumi, don't worry. I expected to meet the assassins a long time ago, and they came much later than I expected." A leisurely look.

"Estimated? Then you come out?"

"Koizumi, I am the king of a country. Even if I am a famous king, there are still many people who want my head on my neck. It is very common to encounter assassins. Are there no assassins in the palace? By comparison , This kind of assassin with open sword and open spear is much easier to deal with." There are some people in the palace who are ten thousand times more insidious than assassins with open sword and open spear, and this is called impossible to guard against.

"But……"

"Koizumi, do you want to stop eating because you are worried that you will choke? Do I have to worry about assassins and never leave the palace?"

"But..." Although Yuan Wenlie was right, Gu Qingquan was still very worried; and thinking of Shao Yao's death, he felt very sad, and he didn't want to see other people get hurt or die.

"I know you're worried about me. In fact, I've thought of a surefire solution. Remember when I asked you to prepare more potions before leaving the palace?"

Gu Qingquan nodded in confusion.

"Now is the time to take it out." Yuan Wenlie smiled dotingly, gently pinched Gu Qingquan's small face, took the potion from Gu Qingquan's hand, poured it out and applied it on his face.

"Brother Wen?" He always thought that Yuan Wenlie was going to be out of the palace with him for a long time, and he was afraid that the medicine he prepared would not be enough, so he asked him to make more medicine. How did he even apply it on his face?

The potion was quickly absorbed by the skin, and after a while, the originally smooth and handsome face wrinkled, and then the complexion slowly changed.

Shi Dafang and others watched his master's face slowly change, his mouth was so wide that he could put down a big egg.When they saw that handsome face completely turned into an ugly monster, they looked at the unremarkable Eunuch Quan in unison.

Heck!They finally understood why their master loved this somewhat ugly Eunuch Quan so much.

"What? I can't see my true face anymore? This is much more convenient than disguise." He smiled confidently at his stunned subordinates.

"May I ask you, what kind of potion is this?" Cheng Xiangnan, who was bolder, asked.

"This is a potion developed by Koizumi. It can change a person's appearance, isn't it amazing?" Gu Qingquan praised.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu has such powerful skills."
