Chapter 140: The Killer Is Missing
Liuli was afraid that Wang Wanqing would count the anger on her head after she got angry, and she didn't care about the heavy snow outside, so she went back to the room and took the cloak and hurriedly went out.
As for Wang Wanqing, she waved her subordinates away and sat alone in front of the window and waited.
The charcoal fire in the room crackled from time to time, and it became the only sound in the room.
Other than that, the picture seems to freeze frame.
Until, Liuli went and returned.
At this time, the whole house was darkened, and the footsteps became clearer and clearer.
"Auntie, the slave is back. ”
Seeing Liuli coming back, Wang Wanqing waved her hand, not caring about so much false courtesy, and asked, "Tell me quickly, how is the question?"
Her eyes were a little dark and her eyes were filled with hope and unease.
And the news that Liuli brought back obviously had no way to make her feel at ease.
Liuli spoke a little hesitantly, and it was easy to reply to the news of the question: "Aunt Hui, the slave maid went to ask, but the people over there in Tianhui Pavilion said...... The two killers sent out did not return and could not be contacted. They're missing. ”
"What did you say?"
Wang Wanqing never expected to get such an answer, but felt very unbelievable, because she asked, "What does it mean to be missing?"
She just wanted to find out what was going on tonight, how did she go missing?
Liuli was afraid that she was in a hurry, so she hurriedly helped her, while explaining: "Auntie, the slave maid also asked, and the people over there in Tianhui Pavilion said that they sent the killer out to ambush in the city in the afternoon, and the agreed was to return at the right time." Later, it snowed heavily, and the people of Tianhui Pavilion waited for half an hour, but they never waited for them to send a signal, and the people sent out to find it only saw blood stains in the original location, and did not find anyone. ”
She said this, took a deep breath, and added, "However, having picked up their broken weapons on the ground, it is clear that they have encountered a strong opponent......"
"What does that mean?"
Wang Wanqing was already carried away by anger at this time, and she lost her original judgment, gritted her teeth and said, "Who knows if they made it up in order to shirk responsibility?"
It's just that although Wang Wanqing said so, she already believed in this huge one in her heart.
After all, if this is the case, it coincides with the fact that King Huai'an saved Qin Huaiyu.
In other words, when the killer was indeed assassinating Qin Huaiyu, he was stopped by King Huai'an's people, not only rescued Qin Huaiyu, but also injured the two assassins.
Thinking of this, Wang Wanqing's body suddenly stiffened, and a terrible guess came to mind: "Are the people over there sure that they can't contact those two killers?"
Seeing Liuli nodding, Wang Wanqing's face was as white as paper, and she couldn't help but wonder if the two assassins were injured and hiding, and there was no way to contact Tianhui Pavilion for a while, or ...... Was it taken away by King Huai'an's people at all?
If it's the former, that's fine. But if it's the latter......
Wang Wanqing's fingers couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Auntie, are you alright?"
Hearing Liuli's concerned voice, Wang Wanqing barely supported her body, waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, you go down first, if there is any news from Tianhui Pavilion, no matter when, come and tell me immediately." ”
She was looking forward to it now, the two killers were injured, and it was snowing heavily, so there was no way to contact Tianhui Pavilion for the time being.
After all, if it was another possibility, then she really couldn't afford to gamble.
Seeing Wang Wanqing's instructions, Liuli didn't dare to disobey, and persuaded her a few more words, and then turned around and went out, but when she was about to go out, she turned around and said, "Auntie is so resting, don't think too much." ”
Now, even if Wang Wanqing doesn't want to think about that, she can't help it.
It's just that Wang Wanqing didn't have the strength to speak at this time, so she waved her hand and said, "Well, I know, you can go." ”
After Liuli left, Wang Wanqing went to the inner room, although the person was lying on the bed, but there was no sleep on his face.
The snow was heavier outside.
The sound of the wind and snow howling can still be heard through the window, and in such a dark night sky, it is like a beast hiding in the shadows, which will break in at any time and gnaw hard at himself on the bed.
Wang Wanqing couldn't hold back her sleep until the second half of the night, but after just over half an hour, she woke up screaming again.
Liuli was waiting outside, hearing her voice, she opened her eyes sleepily, and she didn't care about putting on her shoes, so she hurriedly ran in and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong?"
She walked in with an air death lantern and was startled by the expression on Wang Wanqing's face. At this time, her eyes were round, her eyes were almost oozing blood, and she was even more terrified in her heart.
Liuli endured her fear, put down the lamp, walked over and held her hand, and asked, "Auntie, is it a nightmare?" Don't be afraid, it's all fake. ”
It took Wang Wanqing a long time to recover, but her eyes were already a little out of focus.
It was clearly a cold winter night, and even if the charcoal fire was lit, it didn't warm up. But it was the dream just now, but it scared Wang Wanqing into a cold sweat!
At this moment, the clothes were attached to her back, and she was a little cold, but this coldness could not withstand the situation she dreamed of.
That's the real ...... Nine Hells!
Seeing her like this, Liuli didn't dare to speak anymore, so she could only pat her back cautiously and smooth her down one by one.
After a long time, I heard Wang Wanqing speak: "I'm fine, you can go out." ”
Hearing this, Liuli wanted to say something, but saw Wang Wanqing's face sank, and said coldly: "Go out!"
It's just that there is a bit of indescribable fear in that voice.
Seeing that Wang Wanqing was angry, Liuli didn't dare to stay any longer, answered "yes" in a low voice, and retreated cautiously. When she was about to go out, she secretly glanced at Wang Wanqing, but saw that in addition to hatred, there was unforgettable fear on the other party's face.
It was as if I was stuck in a previous nightmare and couldn't wake up.
The door closed quietly, but Wang Wanqing seemed to be awakened, and she was full of excitement.
Everything around her was still a familiar room, Wang Wanqing looked around, and after a while, she cried lowly, full of panic and fear.
She's just ...... I had a dream.
Probably because the assassination of Qin Huaiyu failed, Wang Wanqing actually dreamed that Qin Yi killed her.
To be precise, it was Qin Yi, who dreamed of being furious, breaking his joints inch by inch, and indifferently watching himself wriggling on the ground like a reptile, his body was covered with blood everywhere.
The fear in her dream seemed to be engraved in her bones, and she couldn't help but shiver when she thought about it.
Even now, all the furnishings around here are familiar to him, which makes Wang Wanqing feel a little unrelieved.
