The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

The night was dark and starry. New 𝟲𝟵Book Bar→𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Duanmu Chen didn't know that Gu Ling had been guarding him for two consecutive nights. As soon as he heard the sound of fighting outside, he immediately got up and hid in the secret room of the palace with Chang An.

Your Majesty, as expected, Marquis Gu was right, there is an assassin. Chang'an pricked his ears, but the wall of the secret room was very thick and he could not hear the movement outside.

Duanmu Chen sat down with a deep look in his eyes, It should be Situ Xie's man. The war is about to begin, and he wants to kill me.

Gu Ling, who was outside at this time, did not show up. He hid on a tall ancient cypress, holding his breath and observing the assassin quietly.

Only two appeared at first, and they were blocked by four secret guards. Gu Ling knew that these secret guards were still the same group trained by Duanmu Yi.

The assassin is very strong, and the secret guard is not weak either, but the latter can barely stop the assassin two on one.

Soon, two more secret guards appeared to support. This should be Duanmu Chen's strategy, he can't reveal all his cards at once.

As a result, the assassin also gained one. Obviously, this assassination was carefully planned and was inevitable.

The assassins all wore night clothes and identical iron masks. Their bodies seemed to blend into the night. From a distance, it looked like three masks floating and swaying in different positions.

Gu Ling quickly judged that the three assassins were all old monster types, and each of them was stronger than Lao Mu and comparable to Lao Bai.

In this way, Gu Ling suspected that these three people may not be Situ Xie's people, but more likely came from that mysterious force.

So, there is a question mark as to whether Situ Xie wants to kill Duanmu Chen, or whether the leader of the mysterious force wants to kill Duanmu Chen.

Duanmu Chen's secret guards came out again, and together with the previous ones, there were ten in total. They were divided into groups of three, three, and four to deal with the three assassins.

In about half an hour, the imperial army gathered around Duanmu Chen's palace. The archers at the front were in position. However, the more than ten people in the battle were all masters. They were extremely fast and their positions were constantly changing. It was difficult for the archers to do so. Target the assassin.

Looking at the three iron masks floating in his sight, Gu Ling thought of the old man in gray who came to the capital to investigate him and Su Liang last year. In that fight, the other party used a hidden weapon similar to a grenade.

This made Gu Ling a little worried at the moment. If these three assassins with strong martial arts skills were in the same group as the old man in gray and were determined to kill Duanmu Chen, would they head directly towards Duanmu Chen's palace? Throw a grenade?

But if that's the case, he should just throw the big weapon as soon as he takes action, so there's no need to fight... Gu Ling thinks he can wait and see for a while to see if there are any assassins who haven't shown up yet.

Duanmu Chen's secret guards were injured one after another. Ten against three, there was still no advantage.

After four of the secret guards were wounded, Gu Ling saw another iron mask flash through the shadows and rush towards Duanmu Chen's palace.

It seems that the assassin gang is also testing how many secret guards Duanmu Chen has. That's about all there is in the palace now.

Gu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right arm, holding a homemade nail gun in his hand, aimed at the Iron Mask who was about to enter Duanmu Chen's palace, moved down, and pulled the trigger!

The iron nails were not as conspicuous as the polished iron mask. They passed through the gap between the fighting masters very quickly and disappeared from Gu Ling's sight. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫ˢʰᵘˣ.ᶜᵒᵐ

The iron mask shook, fell, and hit the ground... Gu Ling smeared poison on the nails that could numb people all over. Even if he missed the shot, as long as it entered the human body, he could quickly knock down the enemy.

The three assassins who were attracting firepower saw their accomplice fall and finally noticed the tree where Gu Ling was hiding.

One of the assassins broke out of the siege and flew towards Gu Bai.

And this finally gave Lin Bojun, who was transferred to the palace yesterday, a chance to immediately give the order to release the arrow!

The dense arrows were all aimed at the assassin near Gu Bai. No matter how strong he was, he had to wave his sword to resist.

Gu Ling's nail gun moved with the assassin, finally aimed at his right arm holding the sword, and fired again!

Four assassins, two fell.

The other two assassins saw that the situation was not good and planned to retreat.

Gu Ling shot one with a nail gun and deliberately let go of the other.

Lin Bojun ordered another wave of arrows to be fired, but did not stop the fleeing assassin.

Gu Bai shook slightly. Lin Bojun didn't see Gu Ling, but he guessed it. It seemed that the assassination was over, but as a precaution, the Imperial Army did not retreat. They only invited an imperial doctor to treat the injured secret guard.

Lin Bojun reported the situation at the door of Duanmu Chen's palace. Duanmu Chen heard it and asked Chang An to go out and take a look, but he was still hiding inside.

Soon, Changan went back and informed Duanmuchen after confirming the situation outside.

The three assassins were all brought down by hidden weapons. My subordinates guessed that they might be Marquis Chang Xin. Chang'an said.

Duanmu Chen was stunned for a moment, Gu Ling is here too? Is he here specially to protect me?

My subordinate is just guessing. An assassin escaped. If it is really Marquis Changxin, he must have followed the assassin. Chang'an said.

Duanmu Chen nodded, I also think it should be him. Thinking of Gu Ling's presence, he immediately felt relieved. Judging from how ten secret guards were unable to stop the four assassins tonight, it was really hard to say whether Duanmu Chen would be safe if Gu Ling was not around.

The royal family is very cautious in recruiting experts from outside, for fear of attracting wolves into the house, especially those close to them. The higher the martial arts level, the more absolute loyalty one must ensure, otherwise one would not dare to use it at all.

Therefore, most of the masters who serve the royal family are trained by the royal family, and their financial background is pure and transparent. But this also limits the strength of the secret guards.

The truly top masters must have both talent and strength, and most of them are old people. Only through a lifetime of accumulation can they become the ones who can crush the younger generation.

There are very few people with excellent martial arts skills at such a young age like Gu Ling.

Duanmu Chen planned to wait for Gu Ling to come back before he came out of the secret room. He cherished his life and was always cautious, but this time he would not have made such careful arrangements if Gu Ling had not reminded him. But the scary thing is that even though he has made the most thorough arrangements, it seems that he can't stop the assassins at all. Fortunately, Gu Ling is still there.

Lin Bojun dragged the three injured and unconscious assassins together, and did not do anything else, but stood guard outside the palace. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫ˢʰᵘˣ.ᶜᵒᵐ

…

Not long after Gu Ling chased the assassin out of the palace, another man in the iron mask appeared.

Just when Gu Ling thought he was going to have a one-on-one fight, a burst of thick smoke filled the air. To avoid being poisonous, he had to avoid it.

But within a moment, the thick smoke was blown away by the night wind, and the traces of the two men in iron masks completely disappeared.

Gu Ling returned to the palace. Lin Bojun saw him taking off his mask, with a clear look on his face, I thought it was you!

Chang'an told Duanmu Chen that Gu Ling was back.

Duanmu Chen immediately came out of the secret room, and the lights in the palace were quickly lit again.

Gu Ling went in, and Lin Bojun had someone drag the assassin in.

As soon as Duanmu Chen saw Gu Ling, he asked, You have been staying outside to protect me? Were you there last night?

Gu Ling looked calm and said, I'm here to protect Chang'an.

Chang An was coming in with hot tea. He staggered and almost fell down when he heard this, Marquis Chang Xin is really joking.

Duanmu Chen hummed, You obviously care about my safety.

Gu Ling had already leaned over to check on the three assassins and ignored Duanmu Chen's words.

Lin Bojun: ...Inexplicably, Duanmu Chen's expression and tone just now felt a bit like Lin Xin's...

Taking off the iron mask, the assassins were as old as Gu Ling expected. The three assassins did not carry any special objects, nor did they have tattoos or anything like that. The clothes are the same, the masks are the same, and the weapons are different, but there is no particularly famous or unique weapon.

Is he from Situ Xie? Duanmu Chen asked.

Gu Ling shook his head, I don't know.

Gu Ling moved the assassin to a side hall and said he wanted to interrogate him alone, but Duanmu Chen let him do as he pleased.

Does the emperor want to rest? Chang'an asked.

Duanmu Chen yawned, but shook his head, Let's wait and see what Gu Ling can ask.

…

In the side hall, Gu Ling chose an assassin, tied him up first, and then stuffed him with the antidote.

After a while, the assassin faintly woke up and looked at Gu Ling.

Who sent you here? Gu Ling asked.

The assassin's eyes became clear, and then he bled to death!

Gu Ling stared, opened the mouths of the other two assassins, and found poison pills hidden in the deepest parts of the left lower teeth. The person who just took poison and committed suicide must have bitten the outer shell of the poison pill.

Gu Ling did not expect that an assassin with excellent martial arts skills would be like a dead soldier, willing to commit suicide in order not to leak the secret.

Gu Ling put away the poison pills and planned to take them home before studying the poison with Su Liang.

He then awakened the second assassin.

Gu Ling saw the assassin making an obvious teeth-gnashing movement after he regained consciousness, and then his expression suddenly changed.

Your poison is in my hands. Gu Ling said expressionlessly, As long as you tell the truth, I can let you live.

As a result, Gu Ling watched the second assassin decisively bite his tongue and commit suicide.

In a short time, two of the three assassins were dead. Gu Ling did not wake up the last one, but dragged him out of the side hall.

How? Duanmu Chen asked.

Gu Ling shook his head, They are all dead soldiers, so I can't ask anything.

Duanmu Chen frowned, He is actually a dead soldier.

I'll take this back and let Su Liang think of a solution. Gu Ling said and walked out.

Duanmu Chen said quickly, It's still dark, what if the assassin comes back and kills me?

Gu Ling turned back to look at Duanmu Chen, her eyes fell on the center of his eyebrows, quickly moved away, and said calmly, Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, everything will be fine.

Duanmu Chen was speechless when he saw Gu Ling's figure disappearing at the door.

…

Su Liang was woken up by her daughter. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Ling hugging Gu Xiaonuan and coaxing her.

Su Liang looked at the window. It was still dark outside. The assassin is here? Has it been solved?

Gu Ling nodded, He's here. We'll see you again at dawn. You can go back to sleep.

Su Liang sat up and said, We are all awake. Let's sleep together later. How is the situation?

Gu Ling gently shook Gu Xiaonuan to coax her to sleep, and whispered to Su Liang what happened in the palace tonight.

Of the four old guys, one ran away and two committed suicide? Su Liang was also surprised, Why didn't the one who released the poison smoke take action against you in the end?

Considering the overall strength of the assassins tonight, Gu Ling had no chance of winning in a two-on-one fight. Of course, we must put aside the influence of factors such as hidden weapons and poisons.

Maybe their mission target is just Duanmu Chen, and they don't want to cause trouble. Or maybe, it's that group of people. Gu Ling said. It refers to the group of people who someone wants Gu Ling alive.

Duanmu Chen's crisis has been resolved? Su Liang asked. The assassination failed tonight. If Duanmu Chen's life is still in danger in the next three days, Gu Ling should be able to tell.

Gu Ling nodded, It's okay for now.

It seems that the other party may only have those two people left in the city, and they will not take action easily. After all, such masters are not big cabbage, there are not so many. Su Liang sighed, Bring that one back, once you wake up, I will definitely try my best to commit suicide. Unfortunately, the 'Emperor's Heart Medicine' mentioned earlier cannot be made.

Previously, Duanmu Chen wanted to test Situ Yao, but Gu Ling gave him an Emperor's Heart Medicine, which was just a cover and a psychological tactic.

Su Liang asked Lao Bai if there was any drug that could control people's minds. Lao Bai said there might be, but he didn't know it. He hoped Su Liang would research it soon...

Keep it for now. Gu Ling said.

Gu Xiaonuan refused to fall asleep no matter how much she was coaxed, and pointed outside while babbling.

Gu Ling and Su Liang simply went to the garden with their baby daughter. Lao Mu, who was sleeping in the study, heard the noise and confirmed that it was Gu Ling who was back, so he ignored it.

In the darkest hour before dawn, the stars in the sky are still twinkling and the wind is cool.

Gu Xiaonuan thought about it, but when she got outside, she felt sleepy again and fell asleep in Gu Ling's arms.

Gu Ling and Su Liang walked slowly around the lake without saying anything, each thinking about the current problems they encountered.

When the morning light faded, the family of three returned to Yuanming Pavilion.

…

Ji Xiaoshu and Zheng'er got up early and went downstairs quietly, fearing to disturb Gu Ling and Su Liang.

After waiting for a while, Gu Ling and Su Liang got up. After washing and having breakfast, Chang An came and asked if there was anything wrong with the living person Gu Ling brought back last night.

Gu Ling shook his head, No.

Chang'an didn't know what to say. He waved to Gu Xiaonuan and planned to say goodbye and go back to the palace. When he walked to the door, he remembered something again and turned back to ask, The emperor asked his subordinates to ask if Gu Hou is still entering the palace tonight. If you go again, the emperor will prepare wine and food and play chess with Gu Hou.

Gu Ling shook his head, I won't go.

Changan: ...Okay. Anyway, after what happened last night, Duanmu Chen was very convinced that Gu Ling was his good friend and cared about his safety.

Just after Chang'an left, Doctor Gao arrived. Gu Ling was asked to go to Min's house together, and he had to give Min Rui acupuncture for half a month.

After Gu Ling left, Su Liang took out the two poison pills that Gu Ling brought back last night and began to study their ingredients. As for Gu Xiaonuan, Cen Man took her to the lake and had a great time. Su Liang was sitting by the window and he could see her when he looked up.

Min Shangshu Mansion.

When Gu Ling saw Min Rui, Mrs. Min was not there, and Min Rou was taking care of him.

Min Rou asked Gu Ling a question with a serious look, Did Marquis Chang Xin's medical skills be taught by Divine Doctor Su, or was it the other way around? Or are you all genius doctors in the first place?

Gu Ling looked calm and said, It has nothing to do with you.

Min Rou's expression froze and she went out silently, not noticing the airplane pattern on the purse around Gu Ling's waist.

Outside the door, Min Rou muttered, I'm just curious, so fierce...

Gu Ling left after administering the acupuncture to Min Rui. When he left the yard, he saw Mrs. Min walking towards her. His eyes settled on Mrs. Min's eyebrows for a moment and then looked away.

After leaving Shangshu's Mansion, Gu Ling told Dr. Gao that he was going to visit Mr. Qin in the Duke's Mansion, and they left.

Gu Ling did enter the Duke's Mansion, but when Mr. Qin got the news, he waited and waited but could not see him. The servants said that Gu Ling said he had something to do and left midway, and did not go through the main door.

Mr. Qin was a little confused, I'm still waiting for him to come and fish together. I'll go alone this afternoon!

At this time, Gu Ling had secretly returned to Min Shangshu's mansion, avoiding the sight of his servants, and quietly approached Min Rui's room.

His hearing was so good that no one else would be able to hear what the people in the room were saying, but he heard it.

The man named Qin likes fishing... When he fishes by the water, I will lure the servant away and push him into the lake... It will only be regarded as an accident, and no one will notice...
