Chapter 173: The Black-Clad Assassin Appears
By the end of October, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the sky occasionally falls with snow particles.
Lin Xuan had already taken Yueyue and Lin Ruoruo back to his hometown, and the master wrote to say that the things in Kunlun had been done, and it was estimated that he would come to the capital in the next few days, as long as the master was there, Jiang Xiaoyu felt that his heart should be safer.
Her recent attention has been focused on the affairs of the Qin family and the Qi family, because of Qi Qiaoyan's miscarriage, the relationship between the two families is now frozen to the extreme, and Qi Qiaoyan is the first in the world, directly giving Qin Hui a letter of resignation, ending this period of bad relationship.
Although Jiang Xiaoyu sympathized with Qi Qiaoyan in her heart, after all, they were partners who grew up together in the past, but if she went to see her, she was afraid that she would fall into the well in the eyes of others, so she would give up, after all, she and Qi Qiaoyan would not be able to go back to the past no matter what, and he would definitely stand on the opposite side and face each other as enemies.
Of course, no one cares more about this matter than Qi Siyuan, he has always doted on this only daughter and forced her to marry into the Qin family, but in the end, no one came back, no matter how many people he wanted to offend this time, he would not make women unhappy anymore.
In fact, in Qi Siyuan's heart, in addition to his daughter's bad marriage that worried him, Jiang Xiaoyu was even more faintly uneasy.
Li Hou, these two simple words made him unable to guess His Majesty's thoughts!
He is used to being loyal to His Majesty, it is because he wants His Majesty to fully express his sincere loyalty, so that he can be valued by His Majesty and trust himself, as long as His Majesty gives an order, he can do anything, even if he waves the butcher's knife to his comrades-in-arms who lived and died together back then, he will not hesitate at all. He firmly believes that as long as he does not do anything against His Majesty's wishes, this grace can continue!
He is loyal to His Majesty alone, and he has never been involved in the party struggle between the second prince and the third prince, but recently he has become more and more worried about his future, the second prince has a close relationship with Jiang Xiaoyu, and Jiang Xiaoyu must not give up on his slaughter of the Bai family army back then, so do you want to find a way to protect yourself?
He wanted to go over to the second prince, but he didn't dare, His Majesty has tolerated him so far, that is, he has taken a fancy to his loyal ministers, if he can't be a pure minister of His Majesty, then the meaning of his existence may not be so sufficient! What's more, the two princes didn't dare to win him over when they grew up, even the prince only spread some rumors back then. The example of the second prince is there, His Majesty is disgusted that the prince is too involved in military power, and the third prince must not have the courage, so can he only bet that it is the third prince who wins in the end?
And what did Your Majesty think about the affairs of the Bai family back then? If you can't find out that the Bai family has grievances in the end, although you are ordered to go on the expedition, will you be abandoned by Your Majesty in the end and return all the charges to him? Then in history, he will only leave the charge of slaughtering loyal ministers, and there will be people who care about his fierce loyalty to His Majesty!
Now all the danger is on Jiang Xiaoyu's body, if there is no such person, maybe the bad things he envisioned will not happen, how to kill her?
Yan Yan snorted, pushed the door in, and sure enough, seeing that Miss was reading, she smiled and handed over an invitation: "Miss, this is an invitation from the Dingjun Marquis Mansion!" Then he turned around and burned the stove next to Jiang Xiaoyu even more vigorously.
Dingjun Marquis's Mansion? Jiang Xiaoyu was unconsciously vigilant and confused, she opened the invitation, took a look, it turned out to be the eldest princess's birthday, and invited her to go.
Jiang Xiaoyu's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, what does the eldest princess mean by this? I'm afraid it's a Hongmen feast.
Just when Jiang Xiaoyu was wondering, Yan Yan turned around and said: "Miss still remembers the kid who broke into Miss's room in the middle of the night last time, when the slave maid went out for a walk today, he actually ran into him, and he asked the slave to give this bamboo tube to Miss!" She said as she took the bamboo tube out of her bosom.
"This kid, just come to me directly!" Jiang Xiaoyu scolded, "What are you doing with such a complicated thing!" ”
Yan Yan said mysteriously in Jiang Xiaoyu's ear: "Miss, I don't think that kid is a good person, he looks like a thief!" ”
"He doesn't look like he's doing anything right, but he's a good person!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "I just don't know what this kid is doing, I have to let you pass on the news!" ”
"Miss, our house has been much more tightly guarded recently!" Yan Yan said, "He may be afraid of being discovered, after all, Miss is staring at countless pairs of eyes now!" ”
"That's true, but he can't think of so much, and even if he did, he wouldn't do it!" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes rolled slightly, "He is very confident in himself, unless something happens to him......"
"Yanyan, is there anything strange about that kid giving you something?" Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and asked.
"Strange place?" Yan Yan's eyes rolled, "The face doesn't seem to be very good, although she is neatly dressed, but she looks ruffian, and she can't see anything strange!" ”
"Could it be that he was injured, so he didn't go there in person, so he asked Yanyan to help bring the news? He has always dressed very casually, deliberately dressed neatly, is it to avoid people's eyes? Jiang Xiaoyu's face became heavy, so what happened to him?
It seems necessary to see him for himself!
Jiang Xiaoyu thought about when to go out to find Xiaodong, and opened the bamboo tube he passed on, and inside was a piece of stationery, which simply said two messages, and these two messages were very important to Jiang Xiaoyu!
Jiang Xiaoyu quickly changed into men's clothes, and then took Yanyan out of the house, she didn't take long to find that someone was following her, although she didn't know these people who were following her, but it seemed that she had indeed been targeted by someone!
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't seem to care about the stalkers behind, just took Yanyan to play outside, sometimes buying some small things, when twilight fell, there were a lot more people in the night market, Jiang Xiaoyu and Yanyan shuttled through the crowd, and soon disappeared in the eyes of the trackers, the four of them hurriedly prepared to look for them separately, but found the figures of the two not far ahead, so they continued to follow quietly.
After following for a long time, they realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to check their identities, but although the two people in front of the meeting were wearing Jiang Xiaoyu and Yanyan's clothes, there were still two people there!
"Oops! Fooled! Split up and find out! ”
The four of them hurriedly separated, and then went to find the traces of Jiang Xiaoyu and the others.
But Jiang Xiaoyu continued to leisurely take Yanyan to continue shopping, stopping at a teahouse, she asked Yanyan to listen to the book by herself, and she was waiting for someone she had an appointment with.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw Liu Xiaodong, dressed as a scholar, walking over, the teahouse was surrounded by his brothers, as long as Jiang Xiaoyu entered, naturally someone would go to ventilate and report the news.
"Are you preparing to participate in the next scientific expedition?" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Xiaodong with interest.
"Don't make fun of me, it's not that I'm being targeted yet, otherwise who would want to look like this!" Liu Xiaodong sat down unhappily, "I saw the letter I gave you?" ”
"Well, that's why I'm looking for you!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "What you said in your letter is vague, what happened?" ”
"Our beggar gang has been targeted, and recently a series of incidents have happened, I have been to investigate, and there are people behind the ghosts, but the person behind the scenes has not yet found out, but one thing can be determined, that is, this matter must be related to you, since you came back from the northwest, many things have begun to change quietly!"
"At this time, the person who strikes first will show more flaws!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "We need to be careful, after all, our strength is still much weaker than the other party!" ”
She looked at Xiaodong's face and continued: "Especially you Xiaodong, you have to pay attention to your own safety, don't take risks easily!" Your face is indeed not good, is it hurt? ”
"That's really the second thing I'm going to tell you!" Xiao Dong took out the bell left by Wu Qian before leaving, "The brothers have been guarding the gate of the Qin Mansion these days, you guessed right, the person you want to find really has a lot to do with the Qin Mansion, this bell has thought about it, I guess that person should be hiding in the Qin Mansion!" ”
"The Gu master I'm looking for is really the assassin in the barracks!" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, "If you can catch this person, one is to be able to find out some of the truths of the year, and the other is that since he has a great relationship with the Qin family, this time two generals died in the barracks in a row, and he almost killed the prince, the Qin family will definitely not be able to escape!" If he can prove his relationship with the three princes, he will kill three birds with one stone! ”
She paused and said, "How did you get hurt?" Can the injury be severe? Have you already scared the snake? ”
"A few of my brothers in the city disappeared for no apparent reason, I investigated in the city with a few other brothers, and finally asked me to find some clues, and found them in a broken temple outside the city, but they couldn't save them, they died extremely cruelly, and were used to refine Gu, we guarded outside the broken temple for a day and a night before the murderer arrived, we fought, the other party was injured, but the martial arts were very weird, although I also hit him hard again, but I was not lightly injured! And when I fought him, the bell on my body rang, and I knew that this person was probably the person you were looking for! ”
He paused, remembering that the tragic situation of several brothers made his mood a little heavy, he took a breath and said: "Although he escaped, we rushed to the Qin Mansion as soon as possible, and sure enough, we saw him mixed into the Qin Mansion!" He shouldn't have known that we already knew that he had entered the Qin Mansion! ”
"It's going to change over time, we need to get hold of it as soon as possible!" Jiang Xiaoyu held his chin and thought for a while and said, "Xiaodong, you have done enough, you don't care about the rest of the things, it is the right thing to take care of your injuries, I will discuss the next things with Shizi, and we will look at it!" ”
"Okay, if there's anything you need my help with, just say it!"
