Chapter 264: Intimidation
Crimson blood spurted from the broken neck, staining a patch of land outside the window.
The rich smell of blood rushed into the tip of his nose, and Qi Changrong's expression was as calm as ever.
Seeing such a tragic situation, not only was he not frightened, but he only felt that the pores all over his body were stretched in an instant, and an inexplicable throbbing rose from the bottom of his heart.
Even, even her hand unconsciously put on the sandalwood bead string on her wrist, carefully stroking the pattern on it.
Every time I touched it, the killing intent in my eyes became stronger.
A faint, eerie silence spread around him, and Shi Xia held his breath, waiting for Qi Changrong's reaction in fear.
A moment later, Luo Yi, who had beheaded the assassin, returned his sword to the sheath, and through a window, knelt on one knee in front of Qi Changrong, his voice hoarse and low: "Let Your Highness be frightened." ”
These Assassins were all dead, and even if they were prepared, they would not have been as smooth as planned.
Qi Changrong squinted, and through Luo Yi, he saw Xie Meng, who had been dealing with the assassin for a long time.
This little girl really surprised her.
In just a few months, the force was barely equal to the killer.
Although that killer, it looks very moisturey.
After a long time, Qi Changrong looked away and stopped turning the hand of the sandalwood bead string: "Lonely." ”
Hearing her answer, even though he knew that Qi Changrong would not be frightened by the small scene in front of him, Luo Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
- Your Highness is in a happy mood, and those of them who are subordinates can be busy.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these people?" Luo Yi's gaze swept over the dead and captured killer, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Obviously, these people have touched his bottom line again and again.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't make a rash move, he would have broken everyone's necks long ago.
The cool night breeze hit, and Qi Changrong didn't speak.
For the first two nights, their approach was straightforward – they just killed people and left them alone.
When it dawns on the second day, the people at the post will naturally deal with it.
Now, however, she felt that she had been too gentle in the previous two days.
Otherwise, how could those people dare not take her in their eyes again and again?
After a moment, she said lightly: "Cut off their heads and hang them in front of the bedroom doors of all the officials here." ”
Listening to the breezy words in his ears, Luo Yixin sank, and his expression was solemn.
His Royal Highness's move is to sound a wake-up call for everyone.
Let those people know that there are some people who cannot be provoked.
……
"Ahh
The next day, the sky was faintly bright, and through the thick clouds, the first rays of light rising from the easternmost edge fell on the edge of the col.
The town nestled beneath the col was woken up by a flurry of screams.
Among them, the screams of the post point are endless, and one is higher than the other.
Immediately, the screaming stopped abruptly.
After a while, Shi Xia took the rice porridge and put it on the table with a smile.
Last night, he had just experienced an extremely exciting assassination, Xie Meng had two dark circles under his eyes, and his sleepy eyes swept over Shi Xia in confusion.
As the master, Qi Changrong had already picked up the silver spoon and ate breakfast in small bites, not having time to care about the eye contact between the two beside him.
After a long while, Xie Meng reacted slowly, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and cheered up: "What makes you so happy?" ”
"You know the post officer, right?" Shi Xia smiled and bent his eyes.
"Of course you know, isn't that the guy who is good at making mud?" Xie Meng's tone was disgusted.
"I just came from the back kitchen, and I heard from the people there that the postman was frightened and fainted by the head hanging in front of the bedroom door this morning." Shi Xia's tone was indescribably gloating.
"Cowardly as a mouse." Hearing this, Xie Meng sneered, and just wanted to mock a few more words, but suddenly he thought of the tragic scene last night.
Then, the fear in my heart gradually rose.
She watched as the Prince's guards cut off the heads of the assassins one after another, and the bloody heads were in their hands as if they were carrying cloth bags.
The bun in her hand landed on the table with a 'click'.
When Shi Xia looked at her suspiciously, she picked up the bun casually and stuffed it into her mouth.
Suddenly, Xie Meng somewhat understood why the post officer was afraid of being like that, if he were to be himself, he would have been scared half to death and would not be able to take care of himself.
Thinking of this, Xie Meng no longer disliked the cowardice of the post officer, but sighed in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very spicy.
From today onwards, the city's officials, big and small, are destined to no longer be able to ignore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Jin Kingdom.
After taking a sip of hot porridge and suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Xie Meng asked as if he was watching a good show: "Then it seems that the people around the post official should have gone to the city to ask for a doctor, right?" ”
"I'm afraid there aren't enough doctors in the city today." Shi Xia covered his mouth and snickered: "There are so many frightened officials, and the doctors' two legs are about to run off, where can it be easy to get the turn of the little post officer?" ”
In an instant, Xie Meng stopped talking.
Today's experience is nothing short of a nightmare for those officials.
The nightmare struck, and there were more people who needed to be calmed, but the number of doctors in the city was limited, so it was natural to focus on the high-status people first.
In this way, the post officer is estimated to be frightened.
Hearing her say this, the fear in Xie Meng's heart dissipated a little, but he became a little interested, and talked to Shi Xia in a low voice.
Just when the two were chatting more and more hot, Qi Changrong, who had been eating quietly, suddenly stopped moving, curled his fingers, and knocked twice on the table.
Suddenly, the conversation stopped abruptly, and the two people next to them were as quiet as chickens.
At this time, Qi Changrong glanced up at them, and his tone was cold: "Don't say anything." ”
The two glanced at each other, not daring to continue to be presumptuous, and then made a gesture to shut up at the same time, blinking gently and skillfully, looking extremely well-behaved.
"Eat." Qi Changrong knocked again, and his cold tone made his scalp tingle.
Hearing this, the two hurriedly stuffed a large piece of bread into their mouths and chewed vigorously, looking innocent and dazed.
……
In the post office, the frightened snow-white post officer sat on a low stool, his face full of horror, and he only looked straight at the top of the door.
It was there, when he finished dressing and opened the door tonight, that he saw the head hanging from the door.
Coincidentally, the man stared straight ahead, and he crashed into it unprepared, face to face with the dead man's head.
At that time, his soul was almost scared away.
His legs were weak, and he only had time to let out a terrible scream, and then he fainted directly.
The reason why he woke up at this time was because someone pressed him in the middle of the people.
Just when the post officer was panicking, the entourage outside trotted in, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "My lord, Lord Shenmao has arrived." ”
Hearing this name, the post officer, who did not react, rolled his eyes, as if he had finally come out of the evil situation, and stood up from the low stool with a roll and crawl.
rushed out in one go.
With a 'bang', he seemed to accidentally bump into someone.
There was a slight gasping sound from overhead, and then Shen Mao scolded with implicit anger: "What's the matter, you also have official qualities, what does it look like to be so reckless!" ”
Hearing the familiar voice, the post officer almost immediately cried, and simply half-knelt on the ground and hugged Shen Mao's thigh and cried: "My lord, this day is simply unbearable, you don't know, that Changrong Prince actually hung a dead man's head at the door of my bedroom, and almost scared me to death!" ”
While crying, while howling, where does the post official still have the demeanor of a court official.
After listening to him, Shen Mao's face was extremely gloomy, and it was as black as if it could drip water.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Die!" Person! Head? You saw that too?! ”
Also?
The post officer's crying stopped, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
After all, he wasn't too stupid, and suddenly understood the meaning of Shen Mao's words, and raised his head and asked, "My lord, you also saw it?" ”
"You get up first." Shen Mao kicked him with an ugly face, and said with anger: "You let others see it like this, what kind of system have you become!" ”
Wen Yan, the post officer hurriedly pulled his long sleeves and wiped his tears, got up from the ground with his hands and feet, and bowed slightly and said, "My lord, you haven't answered my question yet?" ”
"That dead man's head ......"
Ignoring the questioning behind him, Shin Momo grimaced, went to the inner room, and finally stopped in front of the bedroom door, his eyes falling on the dark red blood stains in the crack of the door.
"Tell me what happened to you."
Hearing this, the post officer unconsciously shuddered.
It is terrible to experience such a scene once, and if you want to remember it carefully, it is tantamount to walking in hell.
However, under Shen Mao's gaze, he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, so he had to think about it head-on, and then describe it word by word.
After listening, Shen Mao sighed slightly, then closed his eyes tightly, and said in a heavy tone: "My situation...... Same. ”
The post officer's eyes widened, and his cold hair stood on end: "My lord mean, even you were intimidated by the prince of the Jin Kingdom?!" ”
"It's a threat, it's a warning." Shen Mao's heart was so angry that he couldn't even stop shaking his hands, but he didn't show anything on his face, and his calmness was terrifying.
"The three-night assassination of the post has touched the bottom line of this prince, and she is taking revenge on us for doing nothing."
The post official fell into an ice cellar, and said in a daze: "What do you mean, my lord, we have been hated by Prince Changrong?" If so...... What should we do now? ”
Even if you are a foreign prince, if you want to deal with a local official with no background, it is not too simple.
Even in Shen Mao's eyes, Qi Changrong's level of trouble even exceeded the level of dealing with the eldest prince.
Shen Mao's heart was in turmoil, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't delay it any longer...... This official will order someone to pick up the two royal highnesses, and then return to the capital together as soon as possible, so as not to make any uncontrollable moths in the middle! ”
When he finished speaking, the post officer was silent.
Prince Changrong had a grudge against Tuoba Sheng, the sixth prince of Liangguo, and brought the two together...... It's going to kill someone, right?
