I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 128 It’s Gu Ruochen!

After many hardships, Wen Zili finally returned to Dadu. After Han Junyi got the news, he immediately rushed to Wen Zili's house. As soon as they met, he couldn't wait to ask, "Why did you come back so soon?" You know, this mission is expected to take about a month, but now only a dozen days have passed, Wen Zili has returned to Dadu, which surprised Han Junyi.

Wen Zili clasped his hands together, bowed to Han Junyi, and replied, "Your Majesty, you are here." Although he looked a little tired.

Han Junyi frowned and continued to ask: "Did something happen? Or was there any unexpected change?" He was worried that he would encounter trouble during this mission.

Wen Zili took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, some unexpected situations did happen during this mission..." He told Han Junyi in detail about the assassination attempts he encountered along the way and his final successful escape.

After hearing this, Han Junyi's face became solemn. Han Junyi gently patted Wen Zili's shoulder and comforted him: "It is a blessing that you can return safely. As for those assassins, I will send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly." "How is it going?" Han Junyi asked anxiously again.

Wen Zili looked at Han Junyi and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he was stunned for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Wen Zili like this, he felt uneasy.

"I am incompetent." Wen Zili said weakly. "Your Majesty, the King of Chen is not dead. The King of Chen is the new King of Yuan."

"What?" Han Junyi stood up in disbelief and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Feng had already sent people to confirm the body, how could he not be dead and become the new king!

"The Princess of Chen's surname is Yuan. Everyone knows that the Prince of Chen dotes on the Princess of Chen, the Yuan Kingdom and the Yuan family. Moreover, I have seen with my own eyes that not only the Princess of Chen and the Prince of Chen are not dead, but the Princess of Chen's family, General Sun, and the mysterious woman, Gong Jiaxin, are all in the Yuan Kingdom! Moreover, the King of Zhao Kingdom is already on good terms with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen. I have been teased by them time and again in the Yuan Kingdom, and I still tried my best to escape back. Otherwise, I might not have been able to escape." Wen Zili felt hatred and fear when he thought of the days when they made a fool of him!

"Chen Shaoyi, Yuan Niao Niao." Han Junyi saw Wen Zili's expression and knew that he was not talking nonsense. If these two people had not died and had formed a new country, then he would have had a powerful opponent. They even defeated the Dai Kingdom, which was famous for its Longwu Army.

"We should recruit troops and horses as soon as possible and be prepared. We don't know when the Prince of Chen will attack our capital!" Wen Zili added, "After all, it was the Queen who burned down the Prince of Chen's mansion. The Prince of Chen couldn't have been unaware of it. Also, don't let the Queen know about this for the time being, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"I know." Han Junyi frowned. This Chen Shaoyi was like a weed that could never be completely burned. He could never be completely eradicated! He was so hateful!

The next day, Han Junyi summoned Gu Ruochen. Since he became the new queen, he promoted Gu Ruochen to be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. The reason why he was appointed as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was because the Yi people were good at using poison, and he had his own way of using poison as a torture instrument to interrogate prisoners. No one could resist and confess, and Han Junyi liked this very much.

"Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty." Gu Ruochen bowed respectfully.

After dismissing his attendants, Han Junyi said, "I have something that requires you to go on a long journey."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Gu Ruochen lowered his head and waited for orders.

"Go to Yuan Kingdom on my behalf and get rid of the king and queen of Yuan Kingdom." Han Junyi looked at Gu Ruochen.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" At this time, Gu Ruochen didn't know that the people he wanted to get rid of were Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niaoniao, so he agreed immediately. After all, the Yi people could use poison without anyone noticing!

"Okay! When you come back, I will definitely reward you handsomely! When you succeed, I will promise you a city for your Yi people to reproduce and develop." Han Junyi generously took out a city as a reward.

Hearing this, Gu Ruochen had a guess in his mind. If Emperor Yuan was so generous, then it would be difficult to kill him. However, this city was indeed attractive, and it was not a good idea to keep the clan members wandering around.

In the evening, Gu Ruochen gathered several capable subordinates and set off with them overnight.

After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at the gate of Yuan State. With the token they had bought at a high price, they finally entered Yuan State.

Gu Ruochen did not plan to rest, and continued on his way, intending to reach the imperial city of Yuan Kingdom within two days to rest. So he continued to rush to the imperial city of Yuan Kingdom - Yuan City.

In the imperial city, Gu Ruochen put on a mask and went out with several of his men to gather information. After several days, they finally found out that the current queen would go to Baoji Hall in the imperial city to see patients in the middle of every month. This people-friendly behavior was very popular, and her medical skills were superb. So when people talked about Queen Yuan, they often praised her.

Gu Ruochen decided to take down the Empress in the middle of the month, and then deal with the new emperor! He returned to the inn and worked out a detailed plan with several of his men, and then waited for the middle of the month to arrive.

A few days passed in a flash, and tomorrow was the day that Queen Yuan would leave the palace to see patients.

Gu Ruochen and his men had been lying in ambush near Baojitang early in the morning. Not long after, a luxurious carriage drove towards them. It was the carriage that Yuan Niaoniao was riding in. There were not many people on the street at this time. Gu Ruochen winked at his subordinates and jumped into the air to block the carriage.

"Who dares to block the Queen's carriage!" The coachman was so frightened by the people who suddenly fell from the sky that he quickly braked the carriage and shouted angrily.

Gu Ruochen didn't hesitate and stabbed the groom with the sword in his hand. His movements were extremely fast and fierce. The groom didn't even have time to scream before he was pierced through the heart by the sword and died on the spot.

Gu Ruochen drew out the bloody sword expressionlessly, his eyes were cold and resolute. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and walked towards the carriage. He was ready to attack the interior of the carriage in one fell swoop and completely eliminate Yuan Niaoniao.

However, at this moment, an accident happened. The carriage suddenly broke into pieces, exploded, and scattered on the ground. At the same time, Yuan Niao Niao's figure appeared in the air. She stood in the air, high above, overlooking Gu Ruochen and others below.

Yuan Niaoniao's appearance surprised everyone. They originally thought that Queen Yuan would be trapped in the carriage, but they didn't expect that she would know martial arts. At this moment, Yuan Niaoniao's figure was light and graceful, like a fairy descending to the world, which made people fall in love with her.

"Who are you? Don't you know who I am?" Yuan Nianiao spoke softly, but because Gu Ruochen and the others were wearing fake leather masks, it was difficult to tell who they were for a moment.

But Gu Ruochen recognized Yuan Niaoniao. Who else could that be but Princess Chen? Looking at that familiar face, Gu Ruochen swallowed his saliva. He was in a dilemma. The Prince Chen behind Princess Chen was not someone he could handle alone. But he was unwilling to retreat. Princess Chen was just a woman. No matter how high her martial arts skills were, they were limited. He gritted his teeth and winked at several of his men. They simultaneously sprinkled poisonous powder at Yuan Niaoniao.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Niaoniao immediately swallowed the detoxification pill, then quickly created a strong airflow to sweep away the medicine powder that was flying towards her face. She then waved her hands vigorously to make the medicine powder fly back in the opposite direction towards the people.

Although the Yi people's poison could not harm them, their instinctive evasion made them lose their composure for a moment. Someone could actually break their poison! Gu Ruochen gritted his teeth and swung his sword towards Yuan Niao Niao.

Obviously, Gu Ruochen underestimated Yuan Niaoniao's strength. Yuan Niaoniao easily dodged his continuous attacks and then kicked Gu Ruochen several meters away. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other people rushed forward to help Gu Ruochen and tried to besiege Yuan Niaoniao, but their moves were full of flaws in Yuan Niaoniao's eyes. After a few moves, these people fell to the ground one after another, but they still stood up to protect Gu Ruochen: "Brother, you go first!"

Gu Ruochen looked at several of his subordinates and knew that he had to leave. He patted the shoulder of the subordinate closest to him and said, "Brother, you have harmed our brothers!" Then he turned around and left quickly.

At this time, the secret guards also arrived. Qingxin stepped on the chest of one of his men, looked at him coldly and asked, "Who sent you?" The subordinate covered his chest and raised his head with difficulty. He knew that he could not escape today, but he did not want to betray Gu Ruochen, so he would rather die than speak.

At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and Chen Shaoyi led a group of people and horses to rush over. He dismounted and walked to Yuan Niaoniao, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" Yuan Niaoniao shook her head, indicating that she was fine, and then scolded: "You know that no one can hurt me. There are so many official matters, why did you rush out!"

Chen Shaoyi turned his head and looked at the assassins on the ground. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. After thinking about it, Chen Shaoyi immediately understood and said coldly: "Tear off their faces!"

Qingxin Mingchen and others then tore off the fake masks of several assassins, revealing their true appearance, but they could not tell who they were for a while.

"The big one ran away." Yuan Niaoniao said.

"Take them back! The others can chase them!" Chen Shaoyi glanced at the people on the ground and said, then turned around and held Yuan Niao Niao's hand: "Let's cancel the consultation today."

Yuan Niao Niao nodded when she saw that things had come to this point, and followed Chen Shaoyi back to the palace. Qingxin and Mingchen stayed to appease the people, and announced that the queen was unwell and cancelled today's consultation.

After returning to the palace, Yuan Niaoniao thought about it and said to Chen Shaoyi, "It looks like they are from the Yi tribe! They seemed to have used poison powder on me at the beginning. The moves were similar to those used by Hong Li and Gu Yunmu. And when I fought with their leader, his skills were not bad, but he was a little absent-minded. I found the breakthrough point several times, so he was defeated by me. I think he must have come from Dadu and recognized me!"

"The Yi tribe, could it be Gu Ruochen? His martial arts are not weak, and he is Zhen Luoyi's man. Wen Zili should have also brought the news back, so this happened today. And Hong Li and Gu Yunmu fell out with Gu Ruochen, and are now serving Uncle Rong, so the leader should be Gu Ruochen." Chen Shaoyi then analyzed and confirmed that the raider should be Gu Ruochen.

"I just don't know what promise Han Junyi made to him that made him travel thousands of miles to assassinate me!" Yuan Niao Niao smiled disdainfully: "He should still be in the imperial city now."

"Mingchen and Qingxin are already searching." Chen Shaoyi nodded. Knowing that it was Gu Ruochen, he was not in a hurry to catch him. To him, familiar enemies were not considered enemies.

"Han Junyi acted quickly. He sent people here just after Wen Zili went back. He must be really afraid of us." Yuan Niao Niao smiled.

"He won't have time to bother us soon. As far as I know, Uncle Rong has more than 100,000 private soldiers, and he has saved a lot over the years, enough for him to buy another batch of mercenaries and secret guards. If nothing unexpected happens, Uncle Rong will launch a coup this month." Chen Shaoyi said, looking at the information in his hand.

"But Uncle Rong's troops may not be enough to defeat the well-equipped and well-trained Longwu Army." Yuan Niaoniao said with some concern.

"It is not enough, but Zhaoping may not give him the 100,000 Longwu Army. The military token is in Zhaoping's hands, and Han Junyi doesn't know this yet. The Longwu Army only recognizes the military token. Zhaoping doesn't think highly of Han Junyi, so he will naturally consider whether to give the Longwu Army to Han Junyi." Chen Shaoyi smiled. The King of Dai was so generous because he thought of this, which was why he let the military token accompany the army to Dadu and hand it over to Zhaoping.

"This is because Han Junyi became even less cautious after becoming emperor. He thought the world was in his hands. He didn't even check this small matter that he could find out with a simple check! It's ridiculous!" Chen Shaoyi laughed.

Mingchen knocked on the door: "Your Majesty."

"Come in." Chen Shaoyi let Mingchen in. "What's going on?"

"Several people committed suicide by taking poison, and it was confirmed that they were from the Yi tribe." Ming Chen said with his head down.

"Well, hang it on the city gate for public display, and say that this is the fate of someone who attempted to assassinate the Queen." Chen Shaoyi said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mingchen took the order and left, then hurried to do it.

The next morning, five bodies were hanging on the city wall, and soldiers on the tower kept warning everyone: "This is the fate of those who assassinated the queen!"

Gu Ruochen, wearing fake skin, mixed in the crowd. Seeing his good brothers who had fought side by side with him in the past being hung on the city wall, he could not help but feel sad and tears welled up in his eyes. He was the one who harmed his brothers and should not have agreed to Han Junyi. A feeling of hatred also arose spontaneously, Chen Shaoyi! Yuan Niao Niao! I will definitely kill you to avenge my brothers.

In the dead of night, Gu Ruochen sneaked outside the city wall, first drugged the patrolling soldiers, then climbed up the city wall, put down the brothers who had been dead for a long time one by one, carried them to the carts that had been prepared long ago, covered them with straw, and took them to the border forest under the cover of night, dug graves, and buried several brothers! However, all this had been discovered by Ming Xiao who was secretly watching, and followed Gu Ruochen all the way, and found that he really came to steal corpses as Chen Shaoyi guessed. But Ming Xiao did not catch him on the spot, because Chen Shaoyi ordered him to do whatever he wanted. He just followed him all the way to his hideout.

Gu Ruochen reacted quickly and soon realized that Ming Xiao was following him. He returned to the forest again. Relying on his familiarity with the forest, he quickly got rid of Ming Xiao.

Seeing that the tracking was fruitless, Ming Xiao also left the forest.
