Chapter 237 The Biggest Winner

There is a Metasequoia forest on the outskirts of Yunjing. Because wild animals appear all year round, few people set foot there even though the scenery is beautiful.

On the eve of the canonization ceremony, Gu Yuchu received a secret letter saying that if he wanted to save people, he must go to the woods on the outskirts of Beijing alone.For the safety of Noda, she kept her promise and went alone, but she did not completely cut off the news. She mentioned arranging Shu Yuan and his people to ambush not far away in case of emergency.

Walking through the woods, she saw a ruined temple wrapped in vines that had been abandoned for a long time.She stepped in cautiously and saw at a glance that Noda's hands and feet were tied and hanging from the half-collapsed Buddha statue.

When she was about to cut off the rope to save others, a large net fell from above and caught her.Then, hidden arrows were shot from all directions. She turned around against the big net. The obstacle that was originally a constraint immediately became the best weapon for defense. The arrows were caught or deflected by the net, and none of them hurt her. Every cent.

She tried to smash the web with her long sword, but it had no effect. It seemed that this web was not an ordinary thing, but the long sword Ling Buhuo gave her was also unique.Her index finger passed through the moon shape of the handle, and she rotated the sword handle left and right. With a click, a black short sword was pulled out, and the originally indestructible web instantly turned into a ball of waste.

Xuan Tie is the first of all weapons and is extremely rare. Gu Yuchu was overjoyed to have such a thick short sword.After all, it was thanks to Shan Mingxi's previous suspicion that she carefully considered the sword she had carried with her for a long time, and then she truly understood the sincerity of Ling Buhuo's gift of the sword that day.

Just as she was freed from the threat, more than 20 killers surrounded her.The martial arts of this group of people were compared to the group of people who robbed the carriage in the dark night. Although their martial arts came from the same school, they were many times stronger.

After a fight, half of them were injured, and Gu Yuchu inevitably suffered skin injuries.But her fighting power was beyond the estimation of the attackers. After she solved most of the obstacles, the remaining three killers looked at each other and decided to retreat.

I saw her rising up like a crane riding auspicious clouds, grabbing the collar of the slower man, and kicking his back knee with one foot. The man's center of gravity was unstable and he fell heavily to the ground. Then she quickly snatched the His weapon, stepped on his wrist with one foot, and clasped his throat with one knee.

The captured man wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, but unfortunately he could not move faster than Gu Yuchu. With a click, his jaw was twisted out of joint, and he was unable to resist anymore.

Before she could tie up the captured man with a rope, the sound of fighting with weapons could be heard outside the door, and then Ji Huan and others from the Yunjing Xiaohu Camp filed in one person at a time.

"General Yuesheng is still fine. Let me, Dali Temple, deal with this thief. The person behind the scenes will be questioned clearly." Before Gu Yuchu could let go, the officers and soldiers of Xiaohu camp took the live mouth from her hands. Caught.

"Lord Ji, you came just in time." Seeing that the situation had been decided, she refused to insist. Today, she went to the meeting alone in a very concealed manner, and Ji Huan's timing was so accurate that he did not lose any of his soldiers and captured them. It is definitely not a coincidence.

"The general is joking. There is less than eight hours until the enthronement ceremony. You and I each perform our duties, so it's best not to waste time."

"That's natural."

They bowed their hands to each other politely, and then Ji Huan waved his hand and ordered the thief to be taken back to the Dali Temple prison.

Before leaving, one of the arrested men glanced deeply at Noda, who was leaning against a group of bound hands and feet and gagged, and Noda seemed to be returning his gaze.

Gu Yuchu untied Nuoda suspiciously and didn't ask any questions other than the injury.

"How are you? Can you still go?"

"It doesn't matter." Nuoda was trying to be brave, but his body was not so obedient. His legs were numb and he almost fell down.

There was no other way, so Gu Yuchu had no choice but to carry him out of the ruined temple and take a ride back to the post house.

At the entrance of the city defense cliff, when Ling Buhuo was patrolling in person, he saw two people so close passing by. Nuoda tightly clasped Gu Yuchu's waist and abdomen from behind, with his head hanging on his shoulders and his nose touching her ear, which made him serious. His face was even more ugly and scary.

Gu Yuchu glanced at him guiltily, then galloped past on his horse without hesitation.

After that, Nuoda was initially treated, bandaged, rested and hydrated, and then bathed and changed by the palace servants. When he appeared in front of her again, it seemed as if nothing terrible had ever happened to him.

Before she nodded and escorted him to the canonization ceremony, she carefully scanned the busy servants in the courtyard where he lived. It seemed that there were some familiar faces missing, but the time was tight and she did not have time to take a closer look.The surrender ceremony of the Eleven Blackwater Clan was finally held as scheduled, with a good standard. However, compared to the surrender of Hehe, Gu Yuchu always felt that there was no need to engage in such a formality. After all, the Eleven Blackwater Clan, in addition to being geographically praised, is actually strong on the outside and capable on the inside. There is no choice but to surrender.

At the ceremony, the heads of the eleven clans, dressed in rich and royal robes, stood side by side to thank the throne for their heavenly grace. After everyone received the golden lotus gifted by the emperor, an imperial edict from King Lao Ling completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

The eleven tribes of Blackwater were transformed into one banner and ruled as equals. However, Nuoda of the Tulang tribe was appointed as the banner chief, and the other two tribes were deputy banners, assisting the flag chief in handling major issues of equal governance in the banner.

The Taochi clan is the head of the eleven clans, but they have not been assigned to one of the three seats. The new clan leader Moyton dares to be angry but dare not speak out. As a result, Nuoda Zhenzhen'er has become the target of public criticism, and the eleven clans of Blackwater have been in conflict with each other since then. , even if it is governed under one banner, it will eventually be divided into Beiling's absolute control.

It must be said that the emperor's plan, ruthless and flawless, gave you glory for a while, but it was always just an ingredient in his cauldron.

Gu Yuchu's mission was completed, but King Lao Ling ordered that she would still be responsible for guarding the post house until the Eleven Blackwater Clan returned home.

Shu Yuan had been waiting outside the conferment ceremony, and before Gu Yuchu returned with his armored soldiers, he told her another thing that surprised her.

Of the three killers who escaped after kidnapping Noda, except for two who were taken away by Dali Temple, the other one was silenced on the way.

According to Shu Yuan's description, he saw two people walking out of the ruined temple from a distance and fleeing separately. One of them was captured by Ji Heng's men, while the other one he secretly followed, but was unexpectedly ambushed by a master who came out halfway.He hid in the dark and saw that the man had a ring on his hand. After escaping, he specially checked the body. The method was exactly the same as the wound of the leader of the two clans.

In order to take care of his sister's emotions, Shu Yuan did not confirm that it was Xun Ying who did it, but Gu Yuchu was panicking in his heart. Could it be that Dong Qi was really involved?
She thought about it all night without closing her eyes.On the morning of the next day, Dali Temple issued an official report that the murder case in the post house had been solved and the real murderer had been arrested!

The thief was just caught yesterday, interrogated overnight, and the results came out at lightning speed. It was really strange.

Gu Yuchu carefully read the official newspaper copied from Dali Temple to the Eleven Blackwater Clan.A master of the Prairie Queen's faction who was originally from Xirong secretly sneaked into Yunjing and pretended to be Sunda Shadow to kill the leader of the Blackwater clan, intending to frame Dong Qi, provoke a war between the two countries, and pass on the difficulties of the frontline defeat.

Speaking of this result, Gu Yuchu believed it. Kousang had a grudge against her because she killed Qi Jinjue. When the two armies were fighting, he issued a military order offering a reward for her death but failed. Now he has set up this trap to frame himself and challenge her. There are indeed good motives for causing conflicts between the two countries.

But after careful calculation, this plan for her was too hasty, and Noda definitely played an important role in it, but it may have been this important role that led to the revelation of the entire plan.

If he handed her a real Sunda Shadow Token that day, and insisted that he never gave it to her, then she might not be able to escape easily after being arrested in Dali Temple. Even if she could prove that she was not the murderer, it would be difficult to explain her relationship with Sunda Shadow. relation.

The murderer killed two people in a row without leaving any flaws except for the Xun Shadow Order that was deliberately left behind. So as long as he never shows up again and the case remains unsolved, the possibility of Dong Qi's provocation is the greatest, and he can't clean it up. Clear suspicion.

If we talk about the death of the groom, the arrest of the female assassin was a disservice and disrupted their plan, so they had to come up with the Dragon Boat Festival kidnapping.

But this grand gesture cannot withstand scrutiny. They took the risk and captured Noda. As long as they killed him and silenced him, they would not be able to escape death due to the unfavorable protection.

Even if you want to use Noda as a bait to lure her into an ambush, you can kill Noda and then set up an ambush. This two-pronged approach can still achieve your goal even if one of the links fails.

But the result was that Noda was rescued, the assassination failed and someone else was captured alive, and ultimately the success fell short.

Now, Dong Qi's suspicion has been cleared, and she is safe and sound. It's really puzzling that the plan ends so badly.

At the same time, Ji Huan intercepted Hu halfway and solved the case, and the way the killer looked at Noda when he was caught, and after Noda was caught twice, he escaped from death and was named the flag leader of the [-]th Blackwater Tribe, and also With the real Tatsumi involved, all of this is extraordinary.

But the only thing that is certain is that Noda was the biggest winner in the whole thing.
