Contract Prince

Chapter 138

A sinister smile appeared in Yu Liang's eyebrows, "I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you. Traveling is in my hands now, if you dare to go one step further, I might not be able to control my dagger!"

He increased the strength in his hand, and the dagger had already left a clear bloodstain on Lu Lin's neck.

Lu Lin struggled a few times, the more he struggled, the more blood flowed from his neck, and the blood flowed down his neck and dripped onto the cold stone steps.

"Yu Liang, you bastard with no conscience..." The Duke of the State yelled with all his strength, regardless of the pain.

"The old guy is dying, and you are still so arrogant?" Yu Liang called Pang Zhan over and asked him to seal Lu Lin's mouth with a cloth strip.

Pang Zhan has always been a small follower, his guts can never be compared with Yu Liang, when he saw such a big scene, he couldn't help trembling, his legs kept trembling.Yu Liang slapped him fiercely, and said fiercely: "Hurry up and get over here!"

After blocking Lu Lin's mouth, Pang Zhan stood shivering beside Yu Liang, fearing that these archers would kill him at any time, so Pang Zhan also took out his dagger and pointed it at Lu Lin's neck.After Yu Liang took a contemptuous look at his cowardly appearance, he began to discuss terms with Gu Yunjing.

"Tell your troops to retreat five miles, and prepare two carriages for me! Otherwise, Lu Lin and everyone in the Lu Mansion will have to die!"

Gu Yunjing frowned, and couldn't help laughing: "I think you are a very smart person, why did you lose your mind at a critical moment? Do you think it's useful for you to threaten me with Lu Lin? The Lu family and I have a lot of love. Deep hatred, I wish you could kill Lu Lin. As for the whole Lu family, what does it have to do with me?"

Although Lu Lin and Gu Yunjing are somewhat unhappy, he is the emperor's teacher and an important minister in the court after all. Seeing that his son Lu Zhong has been punished as he should, Gu Yunjing will not transfer the resentment in his heart to Lu Lin. superior.

But she knew that Yu Liang was vicious and insidious, if he could see that he wanted to save Lu Lin, then Lu Lin might really become a bargaining chip.So Gu Yunjing could only put on an indifferent look, and let Yu Liang kill Lu Lin casually.

Yu Liang panicked this time, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem.If the emperor was still awake, then Lu Lin might be a useful bargaining chip in his hand, but now that the emperor is not around, it would be useless to threaten Gu Yunjing with Lu Lin.

He wanted to hold Lu Lin hostage for himself, just to prevent Xu Guangtian from seeing a flaw.However, after thousands of calculations and still not counting, Gu Yunjing will intervene.

Yu Liang glanced at the dark crowd of soldiers around him, his heart was blocked by a huge stone, his previous arrogance had disappeared without a trace, and only fear and panic remained on his face.

The smile on Gu Yunjing's face gradually subsided, his brows seemed to be filled with frost, and he said bluntly: "Getting caught is your only choice! I don't have that much patience, I'll count by dozens, if you haven't Surrender, and these archers will shoot you like a sieve!"

Pang Zhan was already trembling with fright, almost dripping urine on his pants.As for Yu Liang, he could no longer be as calm as before, and the hand holding the dagger was shaking violently.He tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, kept his brain calm, and used the only time he had to frantically think of various countermeasures.

Gu Yunjing did everything possible to investigate the case, all he wanted was to catch the murderer and get back the Ku Yin lost by the court.

Yes, Kuyin!Yu Liang's gloomy pupils suddenly became radiant, like a person on the verge of death who has grasped the last sliver of life.

Although Ku Yin is not in his hands, he can now use Ku Yin to find a way out for himself.

In an instant, Yu Liang regained the courage to challenge his son-in-law again: "Gu Yunjing, I think you don't want the Ku Yin lost by the court! If I die, you will never know the whereabouts of that money! I I have made an appointment with my brothers before, if I don't see me in the direction of Shiziling after two hours, then my million silver ticket will be reduced to ashes."

When Gu Yunjing heard this, his eyes froze slightly, Yu Liang's words really pierced his heart.During Xiao Guan's reign, he was extravagant and the court didn't have much savings. In the past two years, wars continued, which greatly drained the national treasury.The floods in the south of the Yangtze River are serious, and the drought in the left area of ​​the river is severe. The imperial court must go to the disaster relief to relieve the drought.

In order to support the front line this time, Xiao Zhan has taken out a lot of silver from the treasury, and the remaining silver in the court is really running out.Although 30 troops have been sent and [-] stones of food and grass have been pledged to support the border army, who can say for sure that they will return in triumph after going there.

In case of a bad start, the war with the Xiliang people will drag on for several years, and the imperial treasury will be depleted again.What Xiao Zhan is now taking over is a mess riddled with holes, so Gu Yunjing feels that every penny is so precious to the imperial court.Not to mention millions of taels of silver notes?

Gu Yunjing lowered her eyes, thinking about things quietly.She rubbed her fingers vigorously, and when she had an idea in her mind, she shook her head to signal the soldiers not to act rashly.He cast his eyes on Yu Liang's sinister face again.

"Tell me, how are you willing to take out the banknote?"

Seeing that Gu Yunjing followed his advice, Yu Liang couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.He said in a deep voice, "It's very simple, just do as I said before!"

Gu Yunjing is such a smart person, she knows that Yu Liang can't be trusted at all.Yu Liang took the courage to die to steal the silver from the warehouse at the beginning, how could he easily take it out now?It's just a matter of using bank notes, leaving a way out for myself.

Gu Yunjing secretly glanced diagonally across from the restaurant, a gap was squeezed out of the window, and it was Caiyue who had been lurking here for a long time.She fixed her bow and arrow and stared at Yu Liang intently, but unfortunately she hadn't found the right angle yet, she kept shaking her head, trying to find the most suitable shooting point.

Caiyue has followed Gu Yunjing for many years, and a tacit understanding has been developed between the two.Caiyue gestured to her, and Gu Yunjing knew what to do.She quickly turned her gaze back, and after whispering carefully in Xiao Muxue's ear, the princess nodded and walked towards Lu's bank.

Then the son-in-law said to Yu Liang unhurriedly: "Even if you are allowed to escape, where can you escape to?"

"You don't need to worry about this!" Yu Liang said viciously, "You just say yes or no!"

Gu Yunjing stared, pretending to be in deep thought, "I really want to kill you, but who told His Royal Highness King An that we must find out the whereabouts of Ku Yin, and now I can only rely on you."

She ordered the soldiers under her command to withdraw for five miles, and arranged for Yu Liang a carriage.

With the bank note as a bargaining chip to threaten the son-in-law, Yu Liang didn't need Lu Lin, an old thing with little use value.According to his personality of pulling a back when he dies, of course he will not let Lu Lin go, and he is going to wipe the dagger directly on his neck, and send Lu Lin on the road after getting into the carriage.

A soldier pulled the carriage to the two of them, and Yu Liang moved slowly, dragging Lu Lin over.At this moment, Caiyue found the best shooting position.

Gu Yunjing originally thought that the murderer this time was Yu Liang alone, so he arranged for Caiyue to lurk on the second floor opposite the bank.Who knows that Yu Liang also has a helper named Pang Zhan.

No matter how powerful Caiyue is, she can't kill two birds with one stone.So she asked Xiao Muxue to secretly find a shooting spot to shoot Pang Zhan.

The two of Yu Liang moved their feet and were just about to get into the carriage, but unexpectedly they were shot by two lightning-fast arrows of unknown origin.

Because Yu Liang knew the whereabouts of the million silver notes, Gu Yunjing specifically told Caiyue not to kill him, but to shoot him with an arrow and capture him alive.

Yu Liang clutched his chest, the dagger in his hand slipped to the ground.This is a great opportunity to arrest Yu Liang and rescue Lu Lin, but because those men and horses had already retreated five miles away, even if they arrived, it would be too late, so Gu Yunjing could only do it himself.Seeing this scene, he rushed forward, ready to rescue Lu Lin.

A deep murderous intent flashed in Yu Liang's eyes. Although he was injured by an arrow, the injury was not enough to kill him. He held back the pain, exerted all his strength, and quickly took out another sharp dagger from his boots, and pointed at it. Gu Yunjing stabbed.

Gu Yunjing didn't expect Yu Liang to have such a skill, so he was not on guard, and he only wanted to save Lu Lin, so his guard was relieved a lot.

Lu Lin had sharp eyes, and from his perspective, he could just see Yu Liang's small movements.

Seeing that Yu Liang's dagger was about to stab into Gu Yunjing's back, Lu Lin hurriedly pushed Gu Yunjing away with all his strength, and the dagger was stabbing into his chest impartially.

After Xiao Muxue witnessed this sudden incident, she was extremely annoyed. Lu Lin, a bastard, would have the guts to murder her son-in-law?Xiao Muxue had never been so angry like this time, she set up three more bows and arrows, and the arrows just shot at Yu Liang's heart.

A person who used unscrupulous means in order to get ahead, get rich and famous, finally died.

After shooting the arrow, Xiao Muxue ran to Gu Yunjing like a fly and asked about the situation.

Gu Yunjing supported Lu Lin, and said sadly: "Master, please be patient, I'll have someone call the imperial physician over immediately!"

She originally thought that Lu Lin would hate her very much because of Lu Zhong's matter, but she never expected that at the critical moment, the Duke would risk his life to block Yu Liang's knife for her.

In an instant, Gu Yunjing had mixed feelings in his heart, and he finally understood why Lu Lin was favored and respected by Xiao Guan.Not only because he is the emperor's teacher, but also because he is a person who understands righteousness.

Lu Lin waved his hand with difficulty, a handsome and elegant man, after going through so many changes, his face no longer had that kind of vigor, and some were just haggard.Just now, Gu Yunjin was stabbed again, and his haggard face lost all color.

Qi Ruoyousi said: "My son-in-law... no... no need, I have... something important... I want to tell you."

"My lord, please tell me."
