"Princess Qi is someone I rarely respect, if you hurt her in the slightest, I won't let you go easily." The little partridge's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

On the lookout platform about fifty meters away from the palace gate, all the guards who were supposed to stay here were killed and thrown aside, and the one who lay on the lookout was Long Gongzi. In order to ensure that this entrusted task would not fail, Long Gongzi, who had not made a move for many years, chose to stand up.

At this moment, the little partridge's long sword was near his neck, and even slightly pierced the surface of his skin, blood gushed out, and there was a slight numb pain. Long Gongzi put down the bow and arrow in his hand and looked at the little partridge.

Long Gongzi smiled: "I haven't seen you before, who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am," the little partridge was expressionless, and there was no moment's relaxation between movements, "you just need to know that I won't let you go easily, and you must listen to me honestly and don't make any more attempts at the princess." ”

"It's a big business, and I can do something good with you." Long Gongzi narrowed his eyes at him.

"I don't need any benefits, you can't buy me. And you should know very well that your strength is below me, and you can only listen to me. The little partridge looked at him coldly and said.

Long Gongzi frowned slightly. Because what the little partridge said was right. He had always thought that he had a clear understanding of people and things, but the man in front of him was even better than him, and he was better than him. Long Gongzi was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that if I successfully complete the task this time, I will be able to get most of the country?" ”

The little partridge said coldly: "You might as well think about it, with the ability of Lu Siguan, the king of Qi, how long will it take to find out who killed his beloved wife?" Even if you have all the country, if you dare to hurt Princess Qi at all, he will not let you go easily. ”

After a pause, the little partridge's long sword moved a little closer to the dragon child's neck, and the blood gushed out even more. He said, "Of course, even if King Qi won't do this, I will." I'm going to kill you even here. ”

"You!" Long Gongzi hurriedly dodged, the pain in his neck was hot, he couldn't speak, he didn't know whether to beg for mercy or what to do.

After many years of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, it was the first time that Long Gongzi had encountered such a tricky situation. He used to be comfortable among the powerful, but it was because those powerful people had some plans, and between the words of the man in front of him, Long Gongzi couldn't hear that he had any extravagant hopes.

This man simply wanted to protect Princess Qi, just to stop him.

"Now I'll count to three, what exactly are you supposed to do, and I'll make a decision between them." The little partridge took a step forward.

Without any pause, the little partridge opened his mouth and counted: "One ......."

"I promise you!" When Gongzi Long responded, he saw that the little partridge was motionless, just looking at him, so he repeated again: "I won't kill Princess Qi again, you put away your sword." ”

The little partridge paused slightly, put away his sword, and stood still. The blade fell to one side, and the blood on it slid to the ground.

Long Gongzi touched his neck, only touching his hands full of blood. He frowned: "I'm afraid you're not in love with this Princess Qi?" To do something like this for her. ”

"It's not love, it's just admiration." The little partridge's expression was solemn, and he didn't seem to want to continue talking to him, but he just looked at the palace gate not far away, squinting his eyes and wondering if he was looking for Liu Qingyan's whereabouts.

Long Gongzi nodded slightly: "I have to say that this Princess Qi does have some skills." I didn't want to kill her in the first place. ”

The little partridge didn't speak, and Long Gongzi continued to ask him, "Then who are you?" Dark Guard? ”

The little partridge still didn't speak, and Long Gongzi was deflated, and his face was a little unbearable. But thinking that no one around him is staring at him now, it doesn't mean that he has really lost face. So he felt a little better, and asked instead, "Since I'm not going to kill her now, why do you stay here?" ”

"You should be from a village on the outskirts of the capital." The little partridge suddenly spoke.

Long Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and the little partridge ignored his reaction and continued: "Your family lost their lives in a cold winter, leaving you alone. From now on, you hate the court, and you hate all the people in this world. You're a smart guy who came up with the idea of doing a killer business, getting bigger little by little, and it took eight years to finally get to where you are now. ”

I thought that those things in my past were already a long time ago, but now that someone said this, Long Gongzi was still slightly stunned.

In the past, if someone told him about his past, Long Gongzi could have killed that person with a smile to kill him. But not now. The person in front of him, whether he attacks head-on or sneaks up on him, will fail no matter what. And Long Gongzi cherishes his life very much, and it is absolutely impossible for him to risk his life.

Let's just say it, Long Gongzi's patience is quite a lot, especially at a time like this.

"But your relatives are not dead, don't you have a distant cousin? They also live on the outskirts of the capital, but for some reason, you don't want to take them with you. Little Partridge said.

"The reason is very simple," Long Gongzi smiled, "This cousin of mine is so stubborn that he asked him to kill people with me, but he refused to do so, and brought out a lot of benevolence, righteousness and morality." can only blame his mother, if it is an ordinary peasant woman, it is just a well-informed lady. ”

The little partridge looked at him and did not speak.

Long Gongzi sighed and continued: "But I really want to take this cousin with me, after all, he is indeed a very smart child. If you train them, you will be able to become a very useful human resource in the future. I originally thought that when I got old in the future, this entire killer organization could be handed over to him to take over. Not now, though. ”

"He found an errand in the Qi Palace, and he won't die of hunger for the time being." Little Partridge said.

"Oh, that's good," Long Gongzi nodded slightly, "If that's the case, he will have the money to treat his mother." But this is the best time to study, so it seems unlikely. If you miss this age, you are unlikely to have any success in the future. ”

The little partridge sneered: "Please rest assured, this cousin of yours will definitely become a talent in the future." ”

Long Gongzi looked over: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"His errand in the Qi Palace's Mansion is to set up a library for the princess, and the princess has already seen that he is a smart child, and has hired the more well-known teachers in the capital to answer the questions for this child." Little Partridge said.

Long Gongzi was stunned for a while, and let out a long sigh: "That's it......"

He stood up, the blood in his neck had largely clotted. He looked in the direction where the palace gate was located and said, "In this way, this Princess Qi is really not an ordinary person. If you die like this, I'm afraid it will be too much of a pity. ”

The little partridge's face was expressionless, and Long Gongzi looked at the little partridge and smiled slightly: "This son, I heard that Lu Siguan, the king of Qi, is about to come back, isn't it?" ”

"Already on the way." The little partridge looked at him coldly, clenched the long sword in his hand, and was ready at any time.

If Long Gongzi dared to make any threat to Princess Qi, he would definitely protect Liu Qingyan's safety before that and kill this man here. The little partridge has this confidence in herself.

"I have a very good suggestion," Long Gongzi smiled, "See?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over there cowered, he was already half frightened to death under such circumstances, if this country was handed over to him, I was really worried, it should be taken away soon, right? ”

"So what? What's your suggestion? The little partridge asked coldly.

Long Gongzi only smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to speak.

Liu Qingyan on the other side of the palace gate finished talking about her plan and looked at the prince: "How is it?" Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you understand what I mean? Those are all things that happen in a hurry, and they happen quickly, so you have to be prepared. ”

The prince nodded, grasping the ghostly arm as if grasping a life-saving straw, and refused to relax at all.

The two of them had now exchanged robes, and they both bowed their heads and hid their faces in the deepest places. Just now, the two of them quickly exchanged each other's robes surrounded by the guards, and this was Liu Qingyan's plan - Li Dai Taozhuang. This is just to reassure the prince, and the prince himself and the ghost will definitely be safe.

"Alright, now let's go out together." Liu Qingyan took a deep breath and winked at the ghost.

Seeing that the ghost understood with sorrow, he didn't speak, but just glanced at the prince more.

The two of them walked towards the palace under the protection of more than a dozen guards, and the crown prince was sweating all over his back. Liu Qingyan, on the other hand, hid her body in a dark place, hoping that it would not be discovered by the archers in the shadows.

She didn't want to lose her life at such a time, and she wanted to wait for Lu Siguan to come back.

The prince breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the prince: "Thanks to you, when I ascend the throne and become emperor, I will definitely reward Qi ......."

Before he finished his words, a long arrow broke through the wind and thrust straight into the prince's back, piercing the prince's entire body!

Nangong Hui, who was walking out of the palace, saw this, and couldn't help but scream: "Ah-"
