Chapter 43: Assassination

The people who came back from Ningzhou in the evening came with the news that the prince's fanfare was not immediately pronounced when Qiao Yue's maidservants all pleaded guilty, and Mo Zhida claimed that there were other hidden circumstances in this case, and it was necessary to investigate again and announce the verdict at a later date.

The onlookers had different opinions, they all went back in a daze, the affairs of the government are always like this, everyone confessed their guilt in front of everyone, and the prince did not announce the verdict at all, and he didn't know what kind of trouble he was going to make.

Qiao Yue sat in the crowd and kept a gentle smile, Xiao Yanagi kept rubbing against her, and everyone chatted without a word.

When night fell, all the people dispersed, and Grandma Liu gave Qiao Yue the dried green clothes and skirts to Qiao Yue: "Girl, you can change it back, the clothes of rural people are not such a taste on you, where does the girl's family live, and the old woman will personally send you home, and the little girl's family is always at ease when she is away." ”

Qiao Yue thanked her repeatedly, and when she watched Xiao Liu Xing chase Grandma Liu into the house to cook, the smile on Qiao Yue's face disappeared instantly.

Then there was a gloomy face, a silk scarf tied on his forehead and frowns, and his eyes flashed with a hint of worry under his long eyelashes.

The fat girl confessed all her sins? Is it expensive money or Pu Xiaoyu's idea? This is obviously pushing the Qiao family to a dead end.

Betrayal?

Qiao Yue's heart was in a panic, this feeling of being betrayed was really uncomfortable at all.

Didn't Qian Gui keep saying that he wanted to thank himself for his kindness? Isn't it to thank me for avenging his murder? Is this how you repay me?

And that Pu Xiaoyu, is his heart still towards Guan Cangzi, is this to take revenge on me for burning his master's secret hatred?

Her slender fingers unconsciously clenched her fists, this move seemed to put the prince in a dilemma, but it also offended the prince to death. Qiao Yue knew that it was absolutely impossible for the royal people to endure this kind of humiliation, and with the current foundation of the Qiao family, if they wanted to tear their faces with the crown prince, it would be completely like a moth to a fire.

A thick crisis instantly lingered all over Qiao Yue's body, this is a woman's intuition, this feeling has never been on a business trip. This made Qiao Yue's heart a little more nervous.

Prince! The crown prince can even be ruthless with his own brothers. Liu Xiang said that he had been assassinated by the crown prince when he passed through Qizhou three years ago, and that he had always been a narrow-minded person, and this time Liu Huan, the king of Qin, rebelled. If it weren't for Liu Wude's protection, Liu Huan would definitely end up in a different place now, so how would he take revenge on himself now?

Qiao Yue took Luo Skirt and walked towards Liu Xing's wooden house step by step with a thoughtful face, this sense of crisis that arose for no reason always lingered in her heart.

Out of the night came an old man with his trouser legs up. His dark skin seemed to blend in with the night, and his gray hair was a little messy. When he saw Qiao Yue, he smiled and raised a piece of fat pork in his hand in front of him: "Knowing that the girl is not used to eating food in our countryside, the little old man went to the city to cut some meat." ”

"Cut meat?" Qiao Yue's heart trembled, "The old man walked so far just to cut the meat, it's too hard..."

Maybe I heard something outside. Liu Xing, who was chasing Grandma Liu's cooking, ran out, and when she saw the fat pork in the old man's hand, she cheered: "Oh... There's meat to eat..."

Taking the fat pork from the old man's hand, she hurriedly ran to the smoking kitchen with her steps: "Grandma... Meat... Today we have meat to eat..."

The old man is not good at words. Seeing Qiao Yue's somewhat blamed eyes, she always smiled and didn't know what to say, so she turned around and was about to walk to the kitchen.

Hiss... A sharp sound of breaking the air tore through the night. A large knife flashing with cold light instantly appeared in front of Qiao Yue's eyes.

"Grandpa, be careful..."

Qiao Yue screamed, threw out the Luo skirt in her hand and stirred it on the big knife that was cut out, and on the side of her step, she blocked in front of the old man like lightning.

"Haha..."A loud laugh: "I didn't expect you to be a practitioner..."

The big knife was taken out of direction, and a large palm with cold air appeared on Qiao Yue's chest in the blink of an eye.

A fierce wind came to her face, if this palm was slapped, Qiao Yue would definitely have her internal organs damaged, and there would be no reason to live.

Can't let it, if you get out of the way, this slapped palm will hit the old man's back, but with her martial arts, she will definitely not be able to receive the full palm of this kind of master.

Call... Qiao Yue took a sharp breath, there was no way but to bite the bullet and not let go, the old man's family saved his life, he couldn't let him take his life too.

"You're coming so fast!"

Qiao Yue said, straightening up and standing straight in front of the old man.

You, naturally, refer to Liu Wencheng's subordinates, the fat girl made trouble in the lobby during the day, if Liu Wencheng didn't have any anger at all, it would be too inconsistent with his narrow-minded and suspicious character.

"Grandma... Grandma..."

Liu Xing's miserable screams came from the kitchen, and there was no need to think about it, this person would definitely not be the only one who came to kill him.

"Haha..."The man in black in front of Qiao Yue sneered, and the palm of his rapidly approaching hand was about to press on Qiao Yue's chest.

Hiss... Another sharp sound of breaking the air came from Qiao Yue's left rear.

No matter what, Qiao Yue is already inescapable.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the man in black who could have killed Qiao Yue immediately shrank his eyes, and the whole person jumped directly from the right side like a spring.

"You... Who are you... Do you know that she is the one the prince wants to kill? ”

The man in black who was forced away said coldly.

Qiao Yue hurriedly turned around, but her vision was empty, and she didn't see anyone.

However, at this time, A's scream came from the kitchen, Qiao Yue's heart sank, her body leaned sharply, and she was about to run to the kitchen.

However, a human head with long braids had already flown out of the kitchen, and Qiao Yue, who had a face smeared with thick fat powder, knew that it was the appearance of the eunuchs next to Liu Wencheng, normal men would not smear fat powder on their faces, only these eunuchs who were neither men nor women had this hobby.

"You dare... Who are you? Even the prince's people dare to kill! ”

The man in black on the right hand was obviously starting to be afraid, first talking about you, and then talking about you, indicating that he didn't know how many people were there who helped Qiao Yue until now.

His legs kept trembling and he retreated, but before he could take two steps back, with Qiao Yue's eyesight, he only saw a flash of cold light in the night, and the man in black with a look of fear had already flown his head, and his headless body took several steps back before falling straight down, blood gushing out from the place where his severed head was.

Who? Who the hell is it?

A man dressed in white and exuding yin qi all over his body obviously arrived here with a large group of men and horses at this time, but he stopped at a long distance from Qiao Yue, not daring to take another half step forward. (To be continued) R655
