Chapter 368: Madam Gongsun Becomes Aware of Something

September 15th, early morning.

Lu Xiaofeng left again, because he still had four ribbons to give away. According to him, at least one should be given to Mu Taoren. After all, he was a famous Wudang star, and he came here all the time.

Ma Xiuzhen stayed in Hefangzhai, while Su Shaoying and Zhang Yingfeng left hand in hand.

Zhang Yingfeng didn't have a ribbon and couldn't enter the palace, and he didn't know what he said to the honest monk yesterday. He told Su Shaoying that he wanted to go home and left alone.

So, Su Shaoying stood at the door of the old alley in the south of the city, becoming a loner again.

"What are we going to do now? Are we going to see Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing fall in love and kill each other?" Su Shaoying thought for a while, then came to the most famous alley in the west of the city and walked into a small building.

Yiqingyuan!

"Why didn't you come here all day yesterday?"

Ouyang Qing asked while serving Su Shaoying four-color side dishes and snacks, and then handed him a cup of hot tea.

"There were a lot of things yesterday." Su Shaoying took a sip of tea and sighed.

"I watched a master's duel in the early morning. I was surrounded by Ouchi guards in the morning. I didn't even eat lunch. In the afternoon, I was assassinated by several lamas and swordsmen. Fortunately, the dinner was quite rich, otherwise I might not even be able to sleep. not good."

Ouyang Qing was very surprised and said, "What's going on?"

Su Shaoying roughly told Ouyang Qing, then looked around and asked, "Where's my aunt? Didn't she come back with you?"

"She went to the appointment, and she said someone wanted to ask her about something." Ouyang Qing said.

Su Shaoying smacked her lips, "Don't let her plot against you again, right?"

Ouyang Qing twisted her body and sat in Su Shaoying's arms. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Auntie made a mistake once in her life, and you met her as a result. Stop laughing at me. I think she will see you now." Just a headache.”

Su Shaoying smiled and said, "Does she have a headache?"

Ouyang Qing asked, "What's it if it's not a headache?"

"She was old, and things were not going well for her, and her blood and energy were not flowing smoothly, which led to..."

"Su! Young Master! Ying!" A figure rolled into the room, and Madam Gongsun's furious voice sounded at the same time, "Do you believe I will strangle you to death with a ribbon?"

Ouyang Qing chuckled and glanced at Su Shaoying, "If you don't have a way to keep your mouth shut, you'll meet the real owner by saying bad things behind your back, right?"

Su Shaoying asked confusedly, "Didn't you go to the appointment? Why are you back so early?"

Aunt Gongsun snorted coldly, "I went to the appointment last night. Isn't it normal to come back this morning?"

Su Shaoying looked at Ouyang Qing, "Didn't she go to the appointment this morning?"

Ouyang Qing smiled and said, "I didn't say she left this morning."

Su Shaoying blinked and suddenly asked, "When did you leave Li Yanbei's mansion?"

"I stayed at the mansion with Guan Huihui the day before yesterday, and I probably left around noon yesterday morning." Ouyang Qing said.

Su Shaoying nodded when he heard this, "Yes, that makes sense."

"What makes sense?" Ouyang Qing asked.

"The four assassins yesterday did not go to kill Li Yanbei, but to kill you." Su Shaoying said, "But they found that you were not there and Li Yanbei was dead, so they killed Guan Huihui."

"What? Are they here to kill me?" Ouyang Qing asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Of course you know something you shouldn't know." Su Shaoying said.

Ouyang Qing said, "But I don't know anything?"

】

"Is there another assassin who wants to kill Fourth Sister?" Aunt Gongsun asked, "Is it still the man in black who is leading the charge?"

"No, it's two lamas and two Hainanese swordsmen." Su Shaoying shook her head and told Aunt Gongsun what happened yesterday.

Yesterday's assassination was not the original story, but Su Shaoying knew at that time that these four assassins were coming for Ouyang Qing, but he knew that Aunt Gongsun was beside Ouyang Qing, so he was not worried.

With Aunt Gongsun's martial arts, no one else could do anything unless Ye Gucheng took action himself.

"Lamas from Daxueshan Temple? Swordsmen from Hainan School?" Aunt Gongsun asked, "Aren't they from King Pingnan? Why do they want to kill Fourth Sister?"

The person who wanted to target Ouyang Qing last time was Du Tongxuan's bodyguard in black. According to Lu Xiaofeng's guess, he was not the same group as Ye Gucheng.

This time it was people from Daxueshan Temple and Hainan Sword Sect who went to Li Yanbei's homestead to kill Ouyang Qing. Those lamas were not sure, but Hainan Sword Sect and Ye Gucheng were both partners of Pingnan Palace.

Aunt Gongsun's eyes narrowed, "Are you trying to force me to show up?"

Su Shaoying thought for a while and said to Ouyang Qing, "Just follow me today."

Ouyang Qing's eyes were filled with joy, but she snorted, "You look down on me? I can protect myself!"

Aunt Gongsun also said leisurely, "You must be going to the palace tonight. There is only one ribbon, how can you bring the fourth sister in?"

Su Shaoying smiled and said, "Can I carry her in?"

"You have a beautiful idea!" Ouyang Qing's face turned red and she spat at Su Shaoying, but her expression was filled with joy.

Aunt Gongsun snorted coldly, took out a ribbon from her sleeve, handed it to Ouyang Qing, and said to Su Shaoying, "You have a beautiful idea!"

Ouyang Qing was a little surprised, "Madam, why do you also have satin? Lu Xiaofeng gave it to you?"

Aunt Gongsun shook her head and said, "Of course I have my own way."

Su Shaoying stared at the ribbon in Ouyang Qing's hand and naturally knew what was going on.

In the original novel, the chief steward Wang of the palace took out a lot of ribbons from the royal treasury, some of which were given to the people that King Pingnan was about to send to the palace, and some were given to Sikong Zhaixing and put into the world.

But now, because Gongsun Da Niang is not dead, she has more ribbons in her hands.

These ribbons must have been sent out through other channels and did not involve King Pingnan, otherwise Gongsun Da Niang would definitely be vigilant.

Even so, compared to Sikong Zhaixing who stayed out of the matter in the original novel, Gongsun Da Niang, who was already involved in the incident, actually realized that something was wrong.

"Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue are going to have a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City. Wei Ziyun and the other four want to watch the duel, but don't want any accidents, so they use Lu Xiaofeng as a tool and give him six ribbons." Gongsun Da Niang said.

Ouyang Qing said, "The ribbon you gave me certainly doesn't belong to the four."

Gongsun nodded and pulled out another ribbon from her sleeve, "I got not one, but two."

"By then, there will be eight people entering the palace." Ouyang Qing said.

"More than eight." Gongsun shook her head, "Besides me, there are other people who got ribbons."

Ouyang Qing couldn't help asking, "Why did they do this?"

"I don't know." Gongsun shook her head, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt, "I only know that this conspiracy must involve the palace!"
