Chapter 432: Assassination Failure
"You're here for King Hon?"
The guard shook his head and nodded: "I don't know, it doesn't feel like it." ”
"It's not like ......" Murong Ye thought for a while, and suddenly said, "It's not good, they may have come to Qi Hui, where is Qi Hui now?" Hurry up! ”
Qi Hui is a very useful chess piece, Murong Ye didn't want to lose it, so he hurriedly took someone to check it.
When Murong Ye arrived in a hurry, he found that a black-clothed assassin was in Qi Hui's room, and the knife was unsheathed, obviously wanting to attack Qi Hui.
"Assassin!"
The guards beside Murong Ye hurriedly stepped forward when they saw the assassin.
Qi Hui in the hands of the assassin also saw hope after seeing Murong Ye, and hurriedly broke free.
When the assassin saw Murong Ye's arrival, he also knew that his mission would not be completed, so he ignored Qi Hui in his hand and fled through the window without saying a word.
"Go get him." Murong Ye couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Yes!"
The guards were ordered to go in search of the Assassin.
If he had been one step too late, Qi Hui might have been in a different place by now.
Murong Ye raised his hand and asked the doctor to step forward to check on Qi Hui's condition.
"Lord, I ......"
Qi Hui was about to speak, but when she saw Murong Ye's frowning brows, she didn't dare to speak again.
The doctor briefly checked Qi Hui and got up to report.
"Lord Wang, she only had a skin injury, not a tendon, plus she hasn't had a good rest recently, she may be a little mentally abrupt, but it's not a big deal. Lao Chen prepared a few pairs of medicines for her and a good rest, and she would be able to recover in a few days. ”
Murong Ye nodded, said that he was tired, and sent someone to take him down, and then sent a maidservant to take care of Qi Hui.
He let out a long breath. But the brow was still furrowed.
"Lord Wang, I don't think this assassination is so simple."
Murong Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Hui.
Qi Hui slowly stood up with the support of the maidservant and said, "If it is an ordinary killer, he must complete the task first, that is, he must kill me first and then escape." However, this time the assassin did not do this, and instead put his life first, which is really suspicious. ”
"Oh? What do you mean? ”
"I think your guards shouldn't be able to catch that assassin when they go to catch it, my lord. Since it's a mission to give up killing me, the first task is not to let you catch it, that is, you can't leave a handle. ”
Qi Hui looked at Murong Ye's half-believing expression, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"Lord Wang, I know you may not believe me, but my nerves are not the same as they were told to the doctor, after all, I still know that this assassination is ......"
Qi Hui was about to blurt out that Qi Cheng'an did it, but was signaled by Murong Ye with his eyes.
Qi Hui seemed to be stared at by a hungry wolf, and the words she wanted to say were blocked in her throat, and she couldn't hold back a sentence for a long time.
"There are some things you know, don't let me warn you."
Qi Hui lowered her head and stared at the ground, not daring to say anything.
Soon after, the guards returned.
"Master."
Murong Ye didn't look back, and said, "Caught?" ”
"Forehead ......"
The guards looked at each other, and finally had to bite the bullet and say, "No, the assassin ran too fast and we didn't catch him." ”
Murong Ye looked at Qi Hui and did not speak.
Qi Hui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the news.
The air was so quiet that even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
"Today's assassination must be blocked, and not a word will be leaked!"
"Yes!"
"Let's go."
"Yes!"
It wasn't until Murong Ye's speech that this strange atmosphere was broken.
Qi Hui looked up at Murong Ye's departing figure, her eyes were a little erratic, and the whole person sat on the collapse, her nerves were a little trance.
……
Back in the room, Murong Ye sent all his subordinates down, leaving only one henchman in the room, and sat on the floor thoughtfully.
"Master, what do you command?"
"Do you think there's anything wrong with tonight?"
"This ......"
The henchman hesitated.
Murong Ye glanced at him and said, "It's okay, you can say it." ”
"Yes! I think tonight's matter, what Qi Hui said is not unreasonable. ”
Murong Ye was thoughtful.
Tonight's assassination is a little weird, just like Qi Hui said. Thinking about it, whether it was the assassin who came to scare him, or the assassin who assassinated Qi Hui, he was surprisingly desperate, so that he couldn't catch the slightest clue, and there was no way to know who did this.
Even so, Murong Ye was still easily suspicious of Qi Cheng'an's head.
In this Beiyan City, except for Qi Cheng'an, who cares about Qi Hui's life and death, no one else really cares.
"And who do you think did this?"
Listening to Murong Ye's question, the henchman hesitated for a while, and then spoke: "The Lord must know in his heart about this matter, in this Beiyan territory, the one in the mansion will care about Qi Hui's life and death, and recently there have been rumors about him in Beiyan City, with that person's temperament, I am afraid that he will not let go of the Lord easily." ”
"But this is just a simple suspicion, and we don't have any evidence that Qi Cheng'an did it, and we can't make a move on him."
Thinking of this, Murong Ye couldn't help but sneer.
This Qi Cheng'an really played a good game of chess,
Murong Ye glanced at the henchman and asked, "What can you do?" ”
The henchman immediately knelt down and said, "The subordinates are incompetent. However, his subordinates think that the Lord can go to his house and test him. ”
Hearing this, Murong Ye also nodded.
It seems that he has to go to Qi Cheng'an's prince's mansion tomorrow.
……
Following
Murong Ye came to Qi Cheng'an's mansion again.
"Yo, isn't this the regent, what kind of wind has blown you over today."
Murong Ye looked at Qi Cheng'an's ignorant face, and sneered in his heart, but he didn't show any points on his face.
Murong Ye didn't answer, but just said, "The prince might as well sit first?" Let's sit down and talk. ”
"Okay."
Qi Cheng'an was about to serve tea, but was stopped by Murong Ye.
Seeing this situation, Qi Cheng'an raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does the regent mean by this?" ”
"How is the prince doing?"
"Yes, what's the matter with the Regent?"
"It's not anything special, it's just that there have been a lot of rumors about you in Beiyan City recently."
Murong Ye looked at Qi Cheng'an, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
Qi Chengan chuckled and said, "It's all rumors, so why care too much?" But the Lord Regent didn't come today just to ask me how I've been doing. ”
Qi Cheng'an threw the handle at Murong Ye.
"It's not just that, do you know what happened last night?"
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
"I was assassinated by an assassin last night. But fortunately, I reacted in time and was not injured. ”
Murong Ye stared at Qi Cheng'an tightly, wanting to see something on his face.
It's a pity that he only saw surprise, and no expression at all.
"How so? Someone in this Beiyan City dares to assassinate your regent, how bold is this, and if you catch that assassin, you must interrogate it well. ”
"I thought so, but the assassin was running so fast that he didn't have the slightest clue left."
Murong Ye still looked at Qi Cheng'an, but he didn't see the panic he wanted.
