Chapter 263: Three Nights Assassination

Hearing this, the smile on Shi Xia's face disappeared and was replaced by a faint mockery: "My lord, what he said is wrong, the thief hit the door, and if our Highness doesn't fight back, will it not be possible to let others slaughter it?" ”

"Instead of complaining here, it is better to strengthen the defense of the post point, and don't let the cats and dogs outside come in and disturb the peace of His Highness, so that there will be nothing to do?"

As he spoke, Shi Xia rolled his eyes, twisted his waist slightly, completely ignored the ugly face of the person in front of him, and turned back to the inner room.

To say that this person is really not self-aware.

It is clear that the defense of the post point is not good, so that those cats and dogs with different intentions will sneak in, and intend to mistreat His Highness.

If it weren't for the reliability of the secret guards, maybe His Highness would have been secretly attacked by those people at some point.

The funny thing is that even at such a juncture, the post official still does not reflect on himself, but puts all the responsibility on His Highness.

Where does that come from?

Thinking of this, Shi Xia snorted coldly, secretly planning in his heart that there would be no long-sighted rush tonight. She asked people to throw the corpse directly in front of the post officer's door, to see if he dared to be rampant?

Seeing that the person disappeared from his face in an instant, the post officer was anxious, and knew that he could no longer persuade him, so he stomped his feet, turned around and ran out quickly.

In addition to him, Shen Mao is also anxious these days.

The post officer almost immediately found Shen Mao, made a deep swipe at the person in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, you still have to think of a way to leave the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom here as soon as possible, His Royal Highness the prince is like a live target in the post point, and the guns and arrows are going straight to her, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the matter will not be suppressed." ”

As he spoke, the post officer's heart sank.

There are B&Bs around the station, and although the movement of the night is small, it is enough to make people feel frightened.

It is not a trivial matter that the prince of Jin was repeatedly assassinated at the post point, if it is small, it is a personal grudge, and if it is large, it is a diplomatic relationship between the two countries.

Now Qi Changrong doesn't want to hold him accountable for his negligence, so he will not move, if she can't hold back one day, and suddenly remembers to investigate to the end, then the black gauze hat on his head will be worn to his head.

Thinking of this, the post officer shuddered, and couldn't help but be afraid.

"What are you afraid of, this matter has nothing to do with us." Shen Mao's voice was deep.

Speaking of this, his voice changed, thinking back to the humiliation of the previous two days, he was full of anger and almost couldn't hold it back: "What you said is not bad, the prince of the Jin Kingdom has many enemies, and it is a hot potato to stay here, if something happens under your noses, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the above." ”

It's not just that it's hard to explain, it's clear that it can kill him!

At that time, even if he is his master, the prince of Yan Kingdom will not be able to protect him.

Speaking of Yan Baize, the eldest prince of Yan Kingdom, he naturally wanted to kill Qi Changrong as soon as possible, if the assassination of the eldest prince in the past two days was to send someone to take action, they just had to turn a blind eye.

However, the eldest prince is still standing still, and the assassination cannot be linked to him.

The man behind the assassin seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.

At this time, it was the assassination of Qi Changrong, but after repeated setbacks, maybe he would turn his head and target others.

The post officer looked up and saw that Shen Mao was in deep thought, so he knew that there was a drama about wanting to send Qi Changrong away, so he hurriedly asked, "According to your lordship, what should happen now?" ”

Shen Mao took a deep breath, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he laughed strangely, and said gloomily: "Isn't the prince of the Jin Kingdom afraid that his official status is low, and he is not qualified to welcome her?" You can rest assured, this official contacted His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, who was traveling nearby, two days ago, and it will be there in about two days. ”

"At that time, as soon as the fifth prince arrives, the official will see if she has any excuse not to enter the national capital!"

At the mention of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, the post officer's back was numb, and he was in awe.

Although he is on the border, he is only a small post officer.

But he also heard that the fifth prince of Yan Kingdom and the sixth prince of Liang Kingdom, Tuoba Sheng, were close friends many years ago because of the same smell.

And the sixth prince of Liangguo, Tuoba Sheng, broke his leg due to an accident, which has always made His Royal Highness the fifth prince angry.

I heard that Qi Changrong was the culprit who caused Tuoba Sheng's broken leg.

I heard that the five princes have been planning to avenge the six princes of Liangguo.

I heard that in the near future, Tuoba Sheng, the sixth prince of Liangguo, will travel from Liangguo.

Heard......

Thinking of those rumors, the post officer secretly spoke.

With such two narrow-minded enemies eyeing at him, it seems that the peace trip of the prince of the Jin Kingdom is destined not to be peaceful.

……

At night, Shi Xia made a basin of hot water to soak Qi Changrong's feet, and she held a few silver needles in her hands and lightly pricked them on the acupuncture points.

While piercing, she whispered: "Your Highness, if you pierce for a while, you won't be so cold." ”

Hearing this, Qi Changrong chuckled indifferently and shook his head: "Lonely's body is lonely, let alone a few days, even if it is extended for another month, there may be no change." ”

Shi Xia stretched out his hand, holding his feet, which were extremely cold in the warm water, and his heart sank slightly.

The prince's physical condition is like a big stone pressing on her heart, even if she has been recuperating for several months, the condition is worse than she thought.

His Highness's body was like a bottomless pit, so many nourishing medicines were poured down, and no echo could be heard.

Even if he studied under the medical saint, he had to admit that the situation was very tricky.

Not wanting to continue to dwell on this issue, Qi Changrong quietly changed the topic and said lightly: "What's wrong with the post officer?" ”

At the mention of this person, Shi Xia instantly came to his senses, and there was a hint of boredom in his eyes: "He went to see that fourth-grade official Shen Mao today, and I don't know what bad ideas he discussed." ”

"Again?"

Shi Xia hurriedly said: "Your Highness really thinks that the assassins of these two nights have nothing to do with them? The two of them were clearly in cahoots, otherwise, how could those assassins have crossed the security of the post so easily? ”

"Although Shen Mao is stupid, the people behind him are not stupid, and they will not choose to do it at such a time." Qi Changrong looked away and said calmly: "In the eyes of those people, Lone is like a sheep who has entered the wolf pack, there is no threat to them, since there is no threat, I will not put too much thought into Lone." ”

Shi Xia pursed his lips and emphasized: "But your assassination is a fact!" ”

"It's a fact." Qi Changrong pulled his lips and smiled lightly: "So Gu is very curious, who made such a wise choice at this time." ”

A wise choice?

Is it to kill His Highness?

Hearing the carelessness in Qi Changrong's words, Shi Xia felt a little difficult to accept.

In the eyes of His Highness, not only other people's lives are like ants, but also her own lives...... Isn't it important?

"The person behind Shen Mao is Yan Baize, the prince of Yan Kingdom, it is rumored that this person is full of scheming, the city government is quite deep, and he is arrogant and conceited, if the rumors are true, with his conceit, he should not do it at this time."

"As for the others, they are either young and have no controllable forces in their hands, or they have taken refuge in Buddhism and have no intention of fighting in the world, or they are elegant and have no choice but to be beautiful."

Elegance...... Beauty......

Shi Xia was silent,

In the eyes of His Highness, what is the connection between the two?

"Are you talking about the second prince of Yan and the third prince of Yan Kingdom?" Shi Xia reacted very quickly, and said thoughtfully: "I heard that these two are the most idle princes of the Yan royal family, and they have always been indifferent, and the suspicion is indeed the smallest......"

"Idle?" Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows, and said with a noncommittal smile: "That's not likely." ”

Shi Xia didn't know why, so he held his chin and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"Nothing."

Qi Changrong shook his head, his eyebrows and eyes were calm: "Those two don't need to think about it for the time being, the biggest possibility now is that the assassin was sent by the Liang Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom ...... There is just no choice to shelter us. ”

So, turn a blind eye and let the assassins run through.

As for the final result, whether the assassin succeeded or she was safe and sound, it had nothing to do with Yan Guo.

After listening to Qi Changrong's analysis, Shi Xia's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Then what should we do?" ”

Once the Yan Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom completely join forces, how can the Yan Kingdom still have a foothold for His Royal Highness?

Seeing the panic between Shi Xia's eyebrows, Qi Changrong reached out and touched her head, and the corners of his lips hooked lightly: "It's very simple, as long as some people see the value of Lone, they are naturally reluctant to die easily." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Those two idle princes in your mouth."

Qi Changrong smiled meaningfully.

Emperor Yan is old, and has not established the East Palace, now the battle for the heir has officially begun, no matter how harmless the performance is, as long as the blood of the Yan royal family flows, it is impossible to be alone in a safe and unharmed place.

Therefore, the situation of Yan Yiheng and Yan Beichen is not optimistic.

Even if one of them only knows how to eat, drink and be merry, the other has already seen through the red dust.

Just as Shi Xia was thinking about the deep meaning in Qi Changrong's mouth, there was a sound of blades connecting outside the window, and then there was chaos.

By candlelight, you can see a vague figure on the window paper.

Shi Xia was taken aback, and suddenly said angrily: "They are here again!" ”

For three whole days, there was no rest every night.

Compared with Shi Xia's anger, Qi Changrong was still calm, she lowered her eyes, hid the emotions in her eyes, and said casually: "It's okay, the time is almost up, take the needle." ”

Seeing this, Shi Xia pursed his lips, stared at a certain master who was still as immobile as a mountain, and silently resisted.

Then after a while, the unilateral resistance failed, she sighed helplessly, bowed her head in resignation, and slowly took off the silver needle stuck in the sole of Qi Changrong's feet.

"Your Highness is always so calm, you really don't take them seriously."

"It's just ants, what's the use of putting it in your eyes."

Qi Changrong didn't care, put on his shoes and got up and came to the window.

Then, under the shocked gaze of Shixia, he reached out and pushed open the closed window.

A 'crunch' explodes in the silent night sky.

She stood where she was, her slender and thin body standing by the window, without any shelter in front of her, simply and directly announcing her existence to everyone.

In an instant, the Assassin of the courtyard immediately broke away from the grappling and ran towards her with his sword raised.

Less than a meter from the room, a cold light swept across his back, and the Assassin's head fell to the ground with a thud.

And his body, because of inertia, was still rushing forward, and then he fell unwillingly in front of the window.
