Chapter Twenty-Three: The Soul of Assassination
As soon as they arrived in the Western Capital, the four of them began to inquire about various information.
Si Detective Xing's cronies also contacted several eyeliners in the city at this time.
They learned that there would be a royal parade tomorrow.
"Tomorrow will be the third year of King Meikoku's accession to the throne, and there will be an unprecedented parade......"
The cronies spread out a map of the Western Capital in the inn's room, holding a cucumber and lighting the parade route for tomorrow.
Miao Miaomiao picked up the rice and said inarticulately: "Then the ladies march on the march, what does it have to do with us?" The most important thing is to take the two of them away from this place as soon as my master's Gu poison is cured! ”
And the sooner it is done, the better, and there can be no delay, for an additional day will cost two hundred taels of silver.
In Meiguo, men are all money-losers, and in her opinion, those two guys are the real money-losers!
I don't know if this accommodation fee can be reimbursed......
"But according to the tip, someone will assassinate the king of Meiguo at the parade tomorrow......"
"Assassination ?!!" Wang Funian screamed, suddenly realized that it was not good, and immediately covered his mouth.
Miao Miaomiao choked on a mouthful of rice and swallowed it for a long time.
"Assassination, you say?"
"Yes."
"Our people?"
"It's not."
"Then let them go!" She put the dishes and chopsticks down, "Whether it succeeds or not, it's their charm country that is messing up, what does it have to do with us?" ”
After that, he took a sip of tea and went down.
Wang Funian looked embarrassed and leaned close to her ear: "My lord, if something happens to the king of the charm country, the matter of offering beauties will be postponed, and it will be difficult to protect ...... at that time."
Delayed?!
No, no, no!
This postponement will cost thousands of taels of silver!
"That's right!" Miao Miaomiao slapped her thigh and stood up, "The most important thing for us now is to gain time!" This must not be postponed! ”
"Time is money, comrades!" She propped her hands on the table, leaned forward, her eyes blazing, "Tomorrow, we must stop this assassination!" ”
……
The sun has set.
Looking from the window on the west side of Miao Miaomiao's room, you can see the high-rise building built by Mrs. Ji in her house specifically to collect beauties.
This building is called the Yin Trick Terrace.
When Miao Miaomiao heard this name before, she thought she had heard it wrong.
How did the good pavilion get the name of the underworld?
When she asked the reason, she found out that this woman had asked her husband for fortune telling at the beginning of the building.
The fortune teller said that because this building was going to imprison a man, it needed the name of extreme yin to be suppressed.
It seems that this Ji Hao is still quite superstitious.
The sun took the last bit of afterglow away, and the city's skies weren't as dark as elsewhere.
In the center of the palace a green light shot out, illuminating the night in a green light.
There's something strange about the whole city.
"Essence ......"
The green light in the palace must have been emitted by the fine stones!
Miao Miaomiao recalled what Si Yubai had said, and suddenly had a bold idea.
If she destroys the essence stone, then her master's spiritual power will be restored, and in this way, any Gu poison he can use will be useless!
Thinking of this, she frowned again.
This fine stone is in the palace, and it must be heavily guarded, and if you rush to get it, it will definitely fail!
"But...... There's one thing you can take advantage of......"
She touched her chin, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Suddenly, there was a scream from downstairs.
Miao Miaomiao's face changed, and she immediately went out and went downstairs.
I saw a gorgeously dressed woman lying on the table in the lobby.
And the shopkeeper's face was panicked and asked Xiao Er to ask the doctor to go.
"If you want to add money to do a special service, you won't do it! Now that you're sick, the gods won't have time to save you! ”
Onset?!
Miao Miaomiao immediately walked up to the woman lying on the table: "I'll try it, maybe it's useful!" ”
