The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 116: Confession and Mutual Assistance

Qi Tianchen was slightly stunned. Gu Jingxuan's reaction surprised him a little.

However, it was also expected.

Since Gu Jingxuan didn't care, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Whether it's Meng Fanqi, Meng Fangguang, or...

They have little to do with Prince Qi's Mansion.

Leng Xinmo picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for each of them.

After pouring himself another glass, he raised his glass and toasted Gu Jingxuan.

"Commander Gu..."

Gu Jingxuan raised his hand to stop him and said, "Princess, I have already resigned from my post as the governor of the Nine Gates."

At a young age, he became the commander of the right wing battalion of the Nine-Gates Admiral.

This is what many people envy, but some people are willing to give up this bright future that is obvious to everyone.

To guard the border with high mountains and long rivers, to protect the border people who are far away from comfort and suffer from the war.

Leng Xinmo blinked, a rare hint of playfulness appearing on his cold and beautiful face.

"Then... General Gu?"

Gu Jingxuan smiled and said, "I haven't done anything yet, so I don't deserve it. If the princess doesn't mind, you can call me Jingxuan."

Leng Xinmo nodded, but without being pretentious, he shouted: "Jingxuan..."

Then he looked at Qi Tianchen and called out, "Tianchen?"

"Then don't call me Princess, Princess anymore."

Leng Xinmo poured another glass of wine, drank it heroically, and said: "You can call me Mingnuo..."

Qi Tianchen was also straightforward. Princess Mingnuo, although a woman, was free and easy.

Qi Tianchen and Gu Jingxuan also raised their glasses, drank them all, and shouted "Ming Nuo..."

Leng Xinmo took out a ring from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and handed it to the two of them.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, "Jingxuan, Tianchen, this is the ring in Wei Linlang's hand."

"Wei Linlang?"

Gu Jingxuan hurriedly picked up the ring on the table and took a look at it.

Looking at Leng Xinmo, he said, "Is this the ring that was lost in Wei Linlang's hand when the Wei Bo family was destroyed?"

At this moment, Gu Jingxuan no longer doubted Leng Xinmo.

Because, compared to killing Meng Fanqi, who was guilty of heinous crimes and was wanted by everyone.

The crime of annihilating the entire Wei Bo Mansion is not something that ordinary people can bear.

If it was really related to Leng Xinmo, he believed that Leng Xinmo would not take out the ring easily.

What's more, this matter also involves assassins from Guyue Country.

The assassin from Gu Yue country?

Gu Jingxuan suddenly raised his head, looked at Leng Xinmo, and asked, "Is it possible?"

Leng Xinmo completed what Gu Jingxuan had not said: "Jingxuan, you guessed right.

I took it from the assassin of Gu Yue Country. No, not Gu Yue Country, but Xun Ming Country."

"Looking for Ming Country?"

Qi Tianchen, who had been listening silently, asked.

“Yes, in fact, I learned from Qian Wushang about the time when my carriage was attacked that day.

The short arrow shot by that person was the same one used by the murderer of Guyue Country when the Wei Mansion was wiped out.

I have been secretly investigating the hiding place of the killer from Guyue Country.

So when you find them, take down their hideout.

But when some of them escaped, I followed them secretly.

They started fighting in a dilapidated courtyard.

It’s a pity that I was alone and outnumbered, fortunately Qian Wushang arrived in time.

But just when we got the ring and wanted to catch them.

Suddenly a group of archers appeared.

And the person in the lead happened to be someone Qian Wushang knew. "

"King Xiang, Lu Zheng?" Gu Jingxuan asked.

Leng Xinmo said with a little surprise: "Yes! Jingxuan also knows him?"

Qi Tianchen explained: "Prince Xiang Lu Zheng is the younger brother of the Emperor of Xunming, more than ten years younger than his elder brother.

It can be said that he was raised as a son by Emperor Xunming since he was young. He was very favored.

Lu Zheng was also extremely supportive of his royal brother and guarded the border for him.

And Lu Zheng has an extremely powerful archery team at his disposal."

He was not only a famous general on the border, but also the younger brother of the Emperor of Xunming.

Qian Wushang, the general, and Gu Jingxuan, who always pays attention to the safety of the border, naturally know each other.

Leng Xinmo nodded in understanding. So that's it.

"Why did Lu Zheng come back to Fengyao? To save those assassins? Could it be that those assassins are related to the Xunming royal family?"

Gu Jingxuan guessed.

Leng Xinmo explained: "You are right, the one who escaped from you and took the ring from Wei Linlang was Concubine Min of Xunming Kingdom.

And this time, the person Lu Zheng came to rescue was Concubine Min.

Today, I want to ask you, who exactly is this Concubine Min? "

"Concubine Min?"

Qi Tianchen and Gu Jingxuan looked at each other, both of them were full of confusion.

Gu Jingxuan shook his head: "Mingnuo, Brother Tianchen and I have never heard of this Concubine Min.

Since you have asked me, I will certainly help you find out when I arrive in the southwest.

There is just one thing I need to confirm with you."

Leng Xinmo nodded: "You say"

Gu Jingxuan looked at Leng Xinmo seriously and asked, "Do you really not know who tried to assassinate you three times?"

On the Shangsi Festival, he left the palace once and was attacked while riding in a carriage.

three times?

Qi Tianchen was a little confused.

A smile appeared at the corner of Leng Xinmo's lips.

He knew that Gu Jingxuan had always been suspicious of her, and today he finally asked her about it.

Leng Xinmo chuckled and met Gu Jingxuan's sharp eyes.

"Yes, I don't know who is so persistent in trying to kill me.

If it is the Concubine Min from Xunming Kingdom, I have never been to Xunming Kingdom and have never seen any Concubine Min.

So, if possible.

This time I want you, Jingxuan, to help me find out where this Concubine Min came from."

Gu Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guess had been correct all along.

The target of the assassin in Yingsong Tower was not Mr. Suxu, but Princess Mingnuo.

In Fengyao City, the cases he handled were almost all clear now thanks to Princess Mingnuo's explanation today.

Now, apart from his grandfather and little sister, he has no worries.

My grandfather was a Duke and had been loyal to Qianyao all his life. Now that he is old, he will be able to live in peace as long as he does not get involved in party struggles.

It’s just…I am reckless by nature, hate evil, but have a simple mind.

If you don't handle it properly, it will cause big disaster.

Now that I am not by his side, it is really hard to feel at ease.

Gu Jingxuan looked at the woman in front of him who was smiling sweetly and had a clear mind.

Looking at the ring on the table, Gu Jingxuan understood that this was the ring given by Prince Sheng to Princess Mingnuo.

Gu Jingxuan's mind moved, and he said to Qi Tianchen and Leng Xinmo: "Brother Tianchen, Mingnuo, I will leave Beijing this time.

Going far to the southwest, I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to Fengyao in the short term.

My younger sister Xuanxuan is still in Beijing. If she gets into trouble one day,

I'm afraid I'm too far away to help her, so I hope Brother Tianchen and Mingnuo can protect her. Jingxuan will be very grateful."

Qi Tianchen patted Gu Jingxuan's shoulder and said, "Brother Jingxuan, don't worry. Changning is like my little sister."

Leng Xinmo knew that her goal today had been achieved.

Looking for Prince Guoxiang of Ming and Concubine Min, I'm afraid these two people won't come to Fengyao again in the short term.

However, my doubts have not yet been resolved.

Qianyao’s southwestern border borders Xunming. Perhaps Gu Jingxuan can help her find out something.

"Okay! If Xuanxuan has any problems in the future, Mingnuo will definitely help her with all his strength."

Leng Xinmo raised his glass and said, "It's a long journey, Jingxuan, take care..."
