The night was getting deeper and deeper. Since the Linjiang area was under the jurisdiction of Concubine Li's party, the group of people had been traveling for several hours without stopping. Everyone was a little tired. King Su was about to order them to rest on the spot.

A ray of sword light pierced the sky, and in just a moment, countless men in black came from all directions.

Gu Changyuan and Prince Su exchanged glances, and both of them moved toward the carriage to protect them.

These men in black are deadly with their swords and are more difficult to deal with than usual.

In the midst of the flash of swords and shadows, everyone's attention was on the carriage. King Su had previously given an order: Even if he died, the Ninth Prince must be kept alive.

However, when Gu Changyuan turned around, he realized something was wrong. These men in black were not here for the Ninth Prince.

They are coming for King Su!

However, when he realized this, King Su was already besieged by several men in black. He was focused on the carriage, and he was careless and fell into a disadvantage, leaving the enemy with a loophole.

When King Su blocked the attacks of several men in black, one of them quickly pulled out a dagger from the other hand and stabbed King Su while he was not paying attention.

Gu Changyuan's eyes flashed, and he hit the man's throat with his long sword, killing him with one blow and saving King Su's life.

Others also reacted and rushed forward.

After all, they were all soldiers who had fought on the battlefield. After a fight, the men in black were at a disadvantage. They knew they were no match for them, so they ran away one after another.

Although King Su was rescued, he was still injured, with a long gash on his waist.

The group of people did not dare to continue on their way, so they quickly found a secluded inn and settled down first.

In Prince Su's room, Liang Sheng was wiping his wounds, with Gu Changyuan and Sima Yue standing on both sides.

Liang Sheng said, "I checked it, but fortunately there is no poison on the knife."

King Su smiled and looked at Gu Changyuan, "Hahaha, fortunately I can live for a few more years. If anything happens to me, I will ask you to take care of Ah Sheng."

Gu Changyuan could hear what King Su meant and said expressionlessly, "I'm afraid not. Firstly, King Su is in good health and will live a long life. Secondly, I have fallen in love with someone, so I can't take care of other women."

As soon as these words came out, both King Su and Liang Sheng were stunned.

After being silent for a while, King Su suddenly burst into laughter, "So that's it. I thought you were not naturally close to women. Unexpectedly, you have found someone you like, so I will take back what I just said."

Gu Changyuan cupped his fists and thanked King Su.

Liang Sheng silently clenched his fists, but raised his head and smiled at Gu Changyuan, "I want to see what kind of woman can catch General Gu's eyes."

King Su turned his head and warned, "Don't be rude!"

He did not let the topic continue, "Zhang Yuan, what do you think about this matter?"

"They are from the Chang Ling Gang."

"How can I see it?"

Gu Changyuan looked at Prince Su's wound, "Your Majesty's wound is very thin and deep. Only Chang Ling's knife can make such a wound."

Everyone present knew who the Chang Ling Gang was employed by.

Sima Yue put away his usual playful smile and said seriously, "My lord, as soon as you left Kyoto, the assassin followed you. Moreover, such a thing happened within Concubine Li's sphere of influence. It shows that Concubine Li is very afraid of you."

Gu Changyuan said, "But at least one thing is certain, Concubine Li does not know about the existence of the Ninth Prince, otherwise the target tonight would not be just Prince Su."

"That woman is simply crazy!" King Su snorted coldly, "In this case, we can only be more cautious in our future actions."
