Chapter 22: The Ones Who Come to Kill You

Su Zhi returned to the regent's palace and it was already time for lunch.

Rong Wancong was passing under the porch to go to the Lotus Hall for dinner, when he saw Su Zhi also coming over, and he smiled.

"Why did the prince come back so late today?"

Su Zhi raised his eyes and saw his princess standing under the corridor, as if she was a widowed immortal, with a peaceful and warm face, and couldn't help but feel a little more settled in his heart, and walked up quickly with a smile.

"It's still about the killing of Deputy Envoy Xiwan."

Rong Rongci pursed his lips and smiled: "Did the guest yesterday also come because of this?" ”

Su Zhi smiled but didn't answer, and only walked towards the lotus hall with Rong Rong's hand.

"I also know if the prince doesn't say it, yesterday the prince swaggered with me to walk around Pingde Street for so long, if I were from Xiwan, I would definitely be angry."

Su Zhi still didn't answer, only smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, the princess doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Rong Rongci didn't mention it anymore, and only dined with Su Zhi.

After lunch, the regent palace was busy for a while, Xi Zhu brought a number of people into the palace with Su Zhi, and this time, even Yue Xiu also brought it.

"Looking at Yue Xiu's appearance of not closing his mouth, he is really looking forward to the stars and the moon."

Fran quipped with a smile behind Rong Rong's resignation.

Rong Rongci watched the group hurriedly walk away, until it blurred into a black dot, and then he restrained his gentle expression and said: "I didn't sleep well last night, I was a little tired, I took a nap for a while, you stay in the outer hall, don't let anyone disturb." ”

Fran's eyes moved, she understood what Rong Bangci meant, nodded, and followed Rong Bangci back to the Chaolu Palace, and sat down on a wisteria chair in the outer hall.

There was a 'squeak' in the inner sanctum, and there was silence.

In a short time, on the tall courtyard wall of the Regent's Palace, a blue shadow swept by, and its figure was as fast as a ghost, and it disappeared from the bright sunlight in a flash.

Pingde Street, Gutai Lane.

In the wing room on the second floor of an inn that is not eye-catching, two serious-looking men sit by the window, both staring at the people in the alley.

Each of them had a cup of tea in front of them, but it was already cold, and there was not even half a minute of heat.

"Now that you can't get out of the imperial city, how can you send back the news of the failed assassination?"

After listening to what the emaciated man on the other side said, another man with a slightly fierce face smacked hard, and his tone was extremely unkind.

"Phew, I don't know what that dog is doing for food, and I can't even kill a woman!"

The emaciated man glanced at his accomplice and sighed: "This is also something that can't be helped, who knows that the regent was also in the carriage that day, otherwise, he will definitely be able to succeed." ”

"That's not necessarily, I don't think the eleventh princess is a simple role, she can kill Ah Yan without leaving a trace in the well-guarded palace, there is always something outstanding."

When the emaciated man heard this, he showed a lewd smile: "Not necessarily, right?" Ah Yan is greedy and easy to get drunk, and he is extremely lustful, if the eleventh princess is ...... with beauty"

Before he finished speaking, the two of them already understood, looked at each other and smiled, and were about to turn their faces again to monitor the situation in the alley, but there was a knock on the door of the wing.

The two of them became alert.

"Who?"

It was an emaciated man who was questioned.

"It's me."

There was a promise from outside the door, it was a weak female voice, and she seemed to be a little nervous.

The two people in the room looked at each other, not impressed by this voice, and the fierce man whispered, "Maybe it's someone sent by the prime minister to answer it." ”

Because it was a woman who responded to the voice, the two of them were not too vigilant, thinking that even if there was any problem, even if there was a woman, would the two of them be able to subdue the two big men who knew martial arts?

The door opened, and a slender woman was greeted by the two of them, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next moment, the woman raised her eyes, but the murderous aura in her eyes was undoubtedly revealed, and the two people in the room were surprised and were about to make a move, but this woman was wonderful, only stunned by her kung fu, she had already dodged into the door, and a dagger had been across the neck of the emaciated man in an instant.

The dagger glowed coldly, but the woman's tone was even more grim.

"It's not good to do things, and you dare to swagger in Shangyin?"

The two men were stunned, and the woman spoke again: "The mission failed, why didn't you pass the news to the prime minister for a long time?" If I don't come today, what are you going to do? ”

As he spoke, the dagger was still across the thin man's neck, and with a slight movement, the dagger was so sharp that it had already scratched a small mark of blood.

The emaciated man didn't dare to move again, and the fierce man standing opposite saw the blood, and was worried about the comfort of his companion for a while, so he hurriedly explained: "Girl, slow down, it's really a tight imperial city, and we can't get the news out." ”

Everything just happened too fast, only in an instant, the emaciated man's life was already in the hands of others, but after a few words, he had calmed down.

He seemed to have finally reacted to something, his face changed, but he was silent, only glanced at the fierce man, and his companion immediately understood.

"Dare to ask who the girl is?"

As he spoke, the man slowly shifted closer to the woman.

'Touch' the ground, blood splattered.

The man's steps stopped, and he looked at the sudden severing neck of his companion in front of him in disbelief for a moment.

"The ones who have come to kill you."

said that it was too late, and the emaciated man's body that was still warm fell down, and in the next moment, the woman behind the corpse had already flashed in front of the man.

The man's reaction was also extremely fast, and he turned around to dodge the woman's killing move, but he underestimated the woman who looked delicate.

In just one turn, the dagger with cold light had been thrown out of his hand, and the sound of breaking the sky hit like a sharp axe, and the man had no way to retreat, only heard the sound of the blade breaking through the wind in his ears, and with a 'clang', the dagger was nailed to the window behind him.

And his neck was warm and bleeding profusely.

When he fell to the ground, he stared at the delicate woman who leaned over to examine the objects on his body, and even killed two people, but there was no blood on her body.

It was the only time he fought a woman, and it was the last.

He was still unwilling and resentful, but he could only close his eyes and go to the underground Huangquan to complain to Yin Si.

Rong Wangci finished examining the bodies of the two, and there was nothing of value, not even a letter or a token, which showed that Xue Mingjun was really cautious.

After looking around the house, Rong Wangci took off the dagger and wiped it clean, and then collected the fierce murderous aura around him, and quietly retreated from the house like a wandering spirit.

The tables, chairs, and stools in the wing room were still intact, and there was not even the slightest movement of the difference, except for the deep ravine stabbed by the dagger on the window wood, and the two warm corpses, the room was so quiet that no one would have thought that there had been a murder here.
