Chapter 626: Caught in the act
Three days later at night, at the entrance of Lianxing Mountain to the east of Yaoye City.
Gu Chan and the ghost bat beast stood in front of the path into the mountain, looking at the dark mountain road ahead without saying a word.
The guard stood at the back and said, "You two, I can only send you here. Then I have to go back and report to the city lord. I hope you will succeed in the assassination and return safely."
After saying that, the guard quickly fled in the carriage.
Gu Chan looked back at the fast-running carriage and said angrily, "Fuck! It's running pretty fast. I really don't want to be associated with the assassination of King Fan!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry into the mountain." Ghost Bat Beast urged.
Gu Chan made a move to climb on its back.
Ghost Batmon quickly stopped her and said, "Are you sick? Why are you crawling on me?"
"Don't you know how to fly? Of course you take me to fly in! Do you want me to walk in?" Gu Chan asked.
"How you get in is none of my business. I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain first, and you can figure out your own way up there." Ghost Batmon sneered.
Then it jumped into the air, flapped its big wings and flew into the woods, and soon disappeared.
Gu Chan said with a gloomy face, "You stinky bat, you are deliberately making things difficult for me, right? Okay, just wait and see how I deal with you."
After saying that, Gu Chan held her breath and cursed secretly as she walked towards the entrance mountain road.
As for the Lianxing Mountain, it was really extremely high. Gu Chan had to endure a lot of hardships all the way up. It wasn't until the next morning, when it was already bright, that she climbed halfway up the mountain. She was so tired that she couldn't breathe. Take a breath.
With no choice but to find a safe place, she spread some hay, lay down and fell asleep.
But what she didn't expect was that when she woke up, she found two powerful guards standing next to her, one on the left and one on the right, staring at her with a sinister smile on their faces.
Gu Chan was so frightened that she stood up in a hurry, stared at the two of them and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Lord Gu, we should ask you this, what are you doing here?"
"Yes! Shouldn't you be staying in the Lord's Mansion of Yaoye City?"
The two guards sneered one after another.
Gu Chan grinned and said, "Well, I said I came here to travel, do you believe it?"
"You think we are fools! Didn't you just follow Ye Tianyang's order to kill our prince?" the guard said coldly.
"Haha... You have guessed this. You are really smart!" Gu Chan said with a smile.
"Let's go! It just so happens that our prince wants to see you. Just follow us up the mountain and don't force us to take action!" the guard said.
When Gu Chan saw that the two men had no intention of attacking her, she instantly relaxed and said with a sigh of relief, "I told you earlier! I thought you were going to attack her!"
"Please come, Lord Gu." the guard waved his hand and invited.
Gu Chan immediately followed them towards the mountain without saying a word.
As she walked, she asked, "By the way, how did you find me? I obviously hid it so well."
"We have spies all over this mountain. As early as last night when the city lord's carriage sent you to the entrance of the mountain, we had already discovered you and had been secretly keeping an eye on you." The guard explained. Gu Chan couldn't help but secretly clicked her tongue.
You know, she is a level six physical arts expert! But last night, she went all the way up the mountain and was secretly followed, but she didn't notice it at all. This proved that the person following her must be stronger than her, otherwise she would not be able to notice it.
In this way, it directly illustrates one point, that is, the guards under King Fan are all very strong. It is simply impossible for her to easily assassinate King Fan.
After thinking about this, Gu Chan began to become cautious, thinking that since her whereabouts had been exposed now, she might as well give in and meet King Fan later. At worst, she would run away after the assassination failed, and she could slowly think of a solution when she got back. , go to other places to collect food for disaster relief.
With this thought, Gu Chan calmed down and silently followed the two guards towards the top of the mountain.
After dark, the three of them finally arrived outside the temple on the top of the mountain.
Only then did Gu Chan discover that the temple on the top of Lianxing Mountain was not small, it was half as big as the city lord's palace, and there was a nine-story pagoda inside. The entire temple was full of incense, and it was not deserted. A lonely place.
After the two guards led Gu Chan into the temple, they took her directly to the huge Buddhist hall at the bottom of the pagoda.
Gu Chan looked around and found that there were a total of eighteen Buddha statues erected around the Buddhist hall, which were quite similar to the modern Buddha statues of the Eighteen Arhats. However, she was certain that these were not the Eighteen Arhats, but the ten Buddhas of this world. elephant.
In the middle of the Buddhist hall, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting cross-legged on a futon, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and chanting sutras with his eyes closed.
He was dressed in a noble yellow robe, with his hair tied in a bun, and his face was very heroic. He always exuded an unruffled power, which proved that he was by no means an ordinary person.
And he was none other than Qixing Fan, the seventh younger brother of the current emperor of Yexing Kingdom, known as Prince Fan.
The three of them came to Qixingfan, and the guard Bing reported, "Your Majesty, we have been brought here."
"Go and guard outside the door. No one is allowed to enter without my order." Qixingfan waved his hand.
The two guards agreed in unison and immediately went to guard the door, one on the left and the other on the right.
Qixing Fan made a gesture of invitation to Gu Chan, "Lord Gu, sit down!"
"Thank you, Lord Fan." Gu Chan politely thanked him with cupped fists, and then sat on the futon opposite him.
As soon as she sat down, Qixing Fan opened his eyes and stared at her.
Gu Chan felt uncomfortable looking at him, but it was the look in his eyes that made her understand that this person was definitely not simple. If she really wanted to compare, Ye Tianyang was definitely not as good as him.
After sizing up Gu Chan for a while, Qixing Fancai said, "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age! I really didn't expect that the dignified new lord of Tiancang Kingdom Jiangnan would be such a young kid like you. You are indeed enough to attract my attention.”
"Prince Fan is not simple either. With your current courage and calmness, I can see clearly that Ye Tianyang and you are definitely not on the same level." Gu Chan said frankly.
"Haha..."
Qixing Fanle chuckled softly.
Obviously, no one doesn't like to hear good words. Even a prince doesn't have much resistance to praise from others.
Gu Chan said seriously, "Prince Fan, please don't laugh! I'm not flattering you, I'm telling the truth. Before I met you, I thought you were a greasy middle-aged uncle. But now that I have met you, I Then I realized that I was wrong.”
"Then you still want to kill me?" Qixingfan suddenly asked.
Gu Chan's face stiffened, her eyebrows tightened, and she was immediately choked and speechless.
