Chapter 222: Proton, Keep a Low Profile (44)
Ye Xi's eyes dimmed, and he immediately grabbed Qingyu's hand and pulled it back, avoiding the oncoming sword.
But these killers did not stop there, and immediately launched a new round of attacks.
"Who sent you?"
Ye Xi asked sharply.
But these killers didn't say a word, and they would swing their swords and stab at Qingyu at the slightest gap, and it seemed that they were all very determined.
"Someone! There are assassins! Ye Xi immediately raised his voice and called the guards outside the courtyard.
Soon, a group of guards poured into the house, and the group of killers fought, and the battlefield moved from the room to the courtyard.
Qingyu and Ye Xi stood aside and watched them fight with cold eyes.
The killer used all the killer moves, but because his skills were not deep enough, he quickly fell behind.
"Leave a living mouth!" Ye Xi spoke out at the right time.
But at this moment, the last living mouth also committed suicide by poisoning.
The guards stepped forward again, but after all, they were still one step too late, and all the killers who came were not spared, all of them died, leaving not a single living mouth.
"Lord Wang, these people don't know each other, they should be killers from the rivers and lakes!" One of the guards stood up and said respectfully.
Ye Xi didn't have hope, even if the other party really looked for someone to kill, he wouldn't look for the people around him, so it would be easy to find his head, so he would naturally find some people who had nothing to do with him, but these killers were ruthless and resolute, and they were specially trained at a glance.
On the rivers and lakes, there are not many places to train killers, as long as you check a little, you can know who did it.
Ye Xi didn't make a sound, but turned his head to look at Qingyu and said softly, "Are you okay?" ”
Qingyu looked dazed, and then shook her head, her face full of thought.
Looking at her expression, Ye Xi couldn't help but be curious: "What are you thinking?" Still thinking about those killers just now? ”
Qingyu nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "I can't figure out who is looking for someone to kill me!" ”
"If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, I'll find out about this matter and give you an explanation!"
Ye Rhino said with a straight face, and a touch of fierceness crossed his eyes, and the killing intent was obvious.
"It's not early, you go and rest first, and you'll be in my room tonight!" Ye Rhino then said.
Qingyu asked rhetorically, "Then where do you live?" ”
"I have something to do, I'm going somewhere else tonight, you have a good rest, there are people guarding outside the courtyard, and I will never let people get close to you half a step again!" Ye Rhino is colorful.
Qingyu didn't think much about it, returned to the room, washed up, and lay down to sleep.
Den.
Ye Xi was standing in the room with a calm face, at this time, the door was gently pushed open, and then a guard walked in, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said, "Lord Wang, what are your orders!" ”
"Go and check, the origin of tonight's killer, tonight's king wants to know accurate news!" Ye Xi said coldly.
"Yes!" The guards were ordered to retreat silently.
And after he left, a dark shadow appeared in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Master, you care so much about that Qingyu Gongzi, could it be ......?"
Ye Xi's eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "What is it? ”
Hei Ying'er hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The prince hopes that you can think twice!" ”
"When does this king need you to teach him how to do things? Retire! Ye Xi said unhappily.
The black shadow stood motionless, as if it had something to say.
Ye Xi's cold eyes swept over the black shadow, and said in a deep voice: "What? Anything else to say? ”
The black shadow pondered for a moment and said, "Master, tonight's killer may have something to do with the Prince's Mansion!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Xi's face changed, his brows furrowed, and he said coldly: "The prince did it? Why? What good can he do if he kills Qing Riguo's proton? ”
What the prince cares about most is his position, as well as his rights, it is impossible to do something unfavorable to himself because of a little thing, if Qing Riguo really sends troops, then at that time, his prince will inevitably go to the front line, and the sword has no eyes, and it is not good to say on the battlefield, maybe when he will die.
"Even if those killers weren't arranged by the crown prince, they should have something to do with him!" The dark shadow continued.
Ye Xi's face sank a little again, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, this king knows, it seems that it's time to talk to the prince!" ”
"Master, you can't stay out of it anymore, have you really thought about it?" The shadow spoke again.
"I think very clearly, you go down!" Ye Xi said coldly, obviously unwilling to talk about this matter anymore.
The black shadow retreated silently.
That night, Ye Xi had been in the study, even when he was sleepy, he squinted in the study for a while, and when it was almost dawn, he went back to the room, and saw that Qingyu was sleeping soundly, so he didn't come forward to disturb, but silently changed his clothes and left in a hurry.
Prince's Mansion.
Ye Xi went to the Prince's Mansion alone, and he didn't even bring a single entourage with him.
As soon as he appeared outside the house, the guards were stunned and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"See the Five Princes!"
Ye Xi didn't even raise his eyelids, and walked straight towards the mansion.
Seeing this, the guards hurriedly followed.
"Fifth Prince, are you looking for Your Highness? He was still in the palace and did not return home! ”
The guards followed Ye Xi's side, saying as they walked.
Ye Xi said with a cold face: "This king is waiting for him here!" ”
So, he waited alone in the prince's mansion, during which a maid served tea and brought pastries, and served him very thoughtfully.
However, Ye Xi waited for half an hour before the prince returned home.
And as soon as he returned to the house, he learned that Ye Xi was in the mansion, the prince frowned, and he was puzzled: "What did the fifth child do when he came to find this prince?" ”
The guard shook his head lightly and said with a blank expression: "The fifth prince didn't mention it, but waited for His Highness in the living room!" ”
The corners of the prince's mouth hooked slightly, and he walked towards the front hall with a faint smile.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he immediately smiled and said, "Old Five, what kind of wind is this today, it actually blew you here!" ”
Hearing this, Ye Xi slowly raised his eyes, swept the prince with cold eyes, his face was cold, and he did not make a sound.
The prince was walking slowly towards him, looking at Ye Xi's expression at this time as he walked.
"Prince Ben remembers, this is the third time you have come to Prince Ben's mansion, right?"
The prince said quietly, with a thoughtful expression, as if he remembered the past.
Ye Xi was silent and didn't answer the prince's words.
But the prince didn't care at all, but he could remember it very happily alone.
"At the beginning, we were good brothers who talked about everything, but I don't know when we stopped talking to each other, and we didn't even want to talk more!"
The prince whispered to himself, and his words were full of pity.
Ye Xi frowned slightly, suddenly interrupted his words, and said in a deep voice: "You arranged the killer?" ”
Hearing this, the prince was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "What are you talking about, Old Five?" What killer? Why doesn't Prince Ben know? ”
"You don't know? What's in it for you to kill Qingyu? ”
Ye Xi continued, the eyes of the yin owl were staring at the prince, and he didn't go around in circles with him, and went straight to the point.
When the prince heard this, the smile on his face was even worse, and he glanced at Ye Xi meaningfully and said, "You came today, did you ask the master to ask about the crime?" Just for the sake of a proton of the kingdom of Japan, are you sure you won't regret it? ”
"It looks like it's really you!" Ye Xi's expression became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly.
The prince shook his head lightly and said slowly: "No, this matter has nothing to do with this prince, but this prince can tell you who wants to kill him!" But before that, you have to answer a question from Prince Ben! ”
Ye Xi was silent, as if he acquiesced.
"What is your relationship with that proton?" The prince asked.
From now on, it seems that they should not be a simple friendship, but he doesn't believe that the fifth child will like a man, which is too ridiculous.
"It doesn't matter now, but maybe it will be a little bit in the future!" Ye Xi said lightly.
The prince's eyes darkened, the expression on his face changed again and again, and he stared at Ye Xi in disbelief and said, "You really like a man?" ”
Ye Xi was noncommittal, but he didn't continue the topic, but said coldly: "Who is going to kill him?" ”
The prince chuckled and said, "Fourth! ”
"Why did she kill her?" Ye Xi was puzzled, he really didn't expect that the person who wanted to kill Qingyu turned out to be her.
"That's what I have to ask you!" The prince said quietly.
Ye Xi looked puzzled, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously, he couldn't figure it out.
Although the fourth princess did have a holiday with Qingyu, but because of that little thing, she killed the killer, did she ever think about the consequences?
"Old Five, you listen to the advice of Prince Ben, it is not a good thing for you to mingle with men, you better dissociate yourself from that proton as soon as possible, so that you may be able to save his life!"
The prince said lightly, with a bit of deep meaning in his words.
Ye Xi frowned and was silent, could it be that the fourth princess wanted to kill Qingyu because of this, but what does this have to do with him.
After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with an answer, Ye Xi didn't think about it again, but looked up at the prince and said in a deep voice: "Since you know about this incident, why don't you stop it?" Do you want to see the two countries at war? ”
"How do you know that Prince Ben didn't stop it?" The prince asked rhetorically, with some displeasure between his eyebrows.
Ye Xi was silent.
"If it weren't for the fourth child wanting to involve the prince in this matter, the prince would have turned a blind eye, but now, the prince will no longer ask, no matter how you deal with her, the prince will not interfere!"
The prince said in a deep voice, he didn't want to participate in this matter, but who knew that the fourth child actually set him up behind his back, let the killer go out of his mansion, and let the fifth child suspect him, since she was unkind, then don't blame him for being unjust!
Ye Xi's face became more and more gloomy, he glanced at the prince deeply, and said coldly: "The prince is generous, why didn't this king find out before?" Do you want to reap the benefits? ”
The prince chuckled, the emotions on his face were undisguised, and he said quietly: "Old Five, you are wrong, this prince is just unwilling to meddle in this matter, how can he sit and reap the benefits?" You are all relatives of Prince Ben, and whoever wins and who loses is very heart-wrenching for Prince Ben! ”
"Humph! Is it? In that case, how did the second child die? ”
Ye Xi snorted lightly and asked rhetorically.
