Chapter 473 A frightened bird
"Forget it, you'd better not do anything. Leave this to me." Although Liu Kuan was anxious, he was still afraid that Chen Chu would ruin things. It was better to be quiet than to move at this time. Even if he wanted to do something, he would have a better chance of success if he did it himself. If Liu Kuan had not cared about sacrificing Chen Chu before, after this incident, the two of them had become grasshoppers on a rope. Thinking about protecting such a fool, Liu Kuan was in a bad mood.
"Just do as I said before, do nothing, and don't let anyone catch you." After writing this, Liu Kuan wiped the water stains on the table and lay back, looking a little out of breath. Although he was just acting and didn't hurt his vital parts this time, he was seriously injured and felt tired after doing a little movement.
Chen Chu nodded quickly. In fact, he didn't want to do anything else during this period. Being caught would mean death, but there was no other way. It would be better if he couldn't do it. After this assassination, Chen Chu had become a frightened bird and felt that he was in danger at any time.
"Liu Zuoling, you look very bad. You should rest more. I won't bother you for now." Chen Chu told Liu Kuan what happened yesterday. After hearing Liu Kuan's words, he felt much more relieved. He thought there was nothing wrong and said goodbye. When he left, he looked at the place where the shadow flashed just now.
When Chen Chu left, two groups of people went back to report to their masters, and the other person hid in the dark and observed the movements carefully. No one else noticed his presence. The master gave him the right to act at his own convenience. Although Chen Chu had gone to Liu Kuan just now, there was nothing wrong with the conversation. However, things must not be so simple. Chen Chu and Liu Kuan must have something fishy in private, but he did not get any valuable information. He should keep a closer eye on Liu Kuan's actions.
This person is a secret guard under Han Yu. He has good ability and is considered to be a person that Han Yu can use, so he was sent to keep an eye on the cunning Liu Kuan.
"You mean Chen Chu went to see Liu Kuan? Did you hear what they said clearly?" Liu Xiu also trained a team similar to the secret guards, and this time they sent people from this team. Liu Xiu did not trust Liu Kuan more because Liu Kuan proved his innocence with his death. Instead, he became more suspicious and felt that something was wrong, especially when Liu Kuan used a weak attitude to guide the generals to stand on that side and force Liu Xiu to express his position. Liu Xiu felt this way especially strongly. As a superior, the last thing he lacked was suspicion.
The secret guard repeated what he had heard before: "These are all they said to each other. It seems that they were just normal concerns and conversations between colleagues. There is nothing suspicious."
That's why it's more suspicious, Liu Xiu thought. Chen Chu and Liu Kuan didn't mention the previous incident, and Chen Chu had pushed all the questions Han Yu asked of Chen Chu onto Liu Kuan before, but he didn't mention anything when they met. This was too evasive, and it made things worse. Or maybe they had another way of communicating. After all, people outside couldn't see what they did through the tent, so it was easy to do some small moves.
Liu Xiu didn't want people to keep an eye on Liu Kuan in the tent, but now everyone was watching. After Liu Kuan's death to prove his innocence, most people didn't know the inside story and were on Liu Kuan's side. He couldn't do too much. This was the reason why Liu Kuan took the risk to act, so that he couldn't do anything even though he knew there was something wrong with these two people. This feeling was really aggrieved.
"Got it. Go down. Keep watching Liu Kuan and Chen Chu. Don't let go of any suspicious places. Don't let him have any chance to pass on information to the outside world. Come and report immediately if there is anything." Liu Xiu can only have people keep a close eye on Chen Chu and Liu Kuan now. Even if they can't do anything to them now, at least they have stopped the chance of contacting the outside world.
The same question was repeated in Yin Shi's tent. Yin Shi's face was not very good when he heard the report from his subordinates: "How is it possible? These two people are obviously spies planted by the enemy here. There is no problem. Maybe you just didn't find them. Keep a close eye on them. Don't let go of any clues."
Yin Shi was a little disappointed that he didn't catch Chen Chu and Liu Kuan's handle, but there was no better way. Han Yu was right. Liu Kuan was too cunning. In addition, his assassination failed this time and alerted the enemy. He didn't expect Chen Chu and Liu Kuan to escape. He should have sent more people to assassinate.
"There is one more thing I want to report."
"Speak!" Yin Shi was a little impatient when he didn't get what he wanted.
"When I was watching Liu Kuan, I found another group of people, who were also hiding in the dark to observe the movements in the tent."
"Who was it?" Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and guessed that it might be someone sent by Han Yu.
"It looks like someone from the lord's side. They seem to have discovered us, but they didn't make any moves."
"Didn't Han Yu send anyone to watch?" Yin Shi was not surprised to hear this news. Although Liu Xiu was a little soft-hearted, he was not stupid. Naturally, he couldn't really believe Chen Chu and Liu Kuan. It was normal for him to send someone to watch. He was just surprised that Han Yu didn't send anyone over.
"I didn't find it."
Yin Shi got a positive answer and waved his hand: "I know, go down, keep a close eye on the people, and don't let Liu Kuan find any opportunity to take advantage of."
Han Yu actually got the news earlier than Liu Xiu and Yin Shi. The reason why he was not discovered by Liu Xiu and Yin Shi was that he was more clever and more careful. Han Yu did not want Liu Xiu to know that he had trained secret guards. Although Liu Xiu would not be affected if he knew, it would be his trump card for the future.
The suspicion of the superiors should never be underestimated. Even if Liu Xiu did not mind now, he would have thoughts and even suspicions because of this matter when he ascended to that position in the future. Even now, many noble families in the court have raised secret guards in private, but they are all operated in secret. No one dares to put this matter in the open, just because the court has expressly prohibited it.
Han Yu naturally would not believe that the conversation between Chen Chu and Liu Kuan was just a pure visit and chat. Although he did not know the content, he had an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart. However, after this incident, he could only keep a close eye on Chen Chu and Liu Kuan like Liu Xiu and Yin Shi, and could not do anything for the time being, otherwise it would not be worth it if Liu Kuan found the right opportunity to bite back.
As the days passed, Han Yu was patient, but Liu Kuan became a little anxious. More news came from the other side and he was given a deadline.
