Chapter 19: The Prince's Secret
When the battle arrived, Xiaoxiao had been injured in many places but was still desperately resisting, and more than ten black-clothed people had fallen five or six of them.
There are also a few injuries of varying degrees, and Xiaoxiao began to lose her physical strength after a long fight.
Zhan Yi was still expressionless, but he shot neatly, and the two of them worked together, dividing five by two, and several people in black fell to the ground.
Xiaoxiao also wanted to catch the man in black who had not yet breathed his last breath to inquire about the mastermind behind the scenes, but he was bitten by that person and committed suicide.
"Damn." Xiaoxiao angrily mended another knife on the person's corpse, and at this time, she changed her previous calm, and donated blood to soak her clothes. The long sword was still dripping with blood, and it looked like it was red-eyed.
Zhan Yi stood beside him, silently not speaking, looking at Xiaoxiao, and then at the corpse on the ground.
"Where's Miss? Why are you here? ”
"The prince went to find the princess, and the prince asked me to come to you."
"Okay, how does the prince know that we are in danger?"
“
I also came to the Jiuqi Festival with the prince, and on the way back, I found traces of a killer, but he didn't come to us. So come along and have a look. ”
Xiaoxiao was suspicious, and didn't ask anything, this matter must be investigated, revenge has always been the purpose of the Dark Moon Pavilion.
Zhan Yi didn't tell Xiaoxiao, in fact, the prince and he had been secretly following the princess and them, and when they saw different men handing lanterns to the princess, the prince's face was black and purple.
When Chu Feng appeared, he saw them talking and laughing so happily that the prince even crushed a railing with his bare hands.
Then the crowd dispersed, and they were lost, and on the way they found the man in black who was plotting something.
The prince began to look for the princess in a panic.
Zhan Yi doesn't understand the love and love of the world, he only knows that the prince rarely loses his temper, and the last time he lost control of his emotions was when he was in Liangzhou many years ago.
When Xiaoxiao and the others returned to the palace, Xu Momo had already fallen asleep, and Qi Yu was at the head of her bed, watching her silently.
"Miss." When Xiaoxiao ran into the door in a panic, she was startled by Qi Yu.
He quickly adjusted himself and went to check on Xu Momo before the bed.
"The doctor has seen it, it's no big deal, and I'm too frightened." Qi Yu got up.
"Thank you, Lord Wang.
"Look at her."
Qi Yu didn't say anything and left with Zhan Yi.
As soon as the two of them came out of Wutong Garden, Chu Feng climbed over the wall and entered. Dodge into the house, "Xiaoxiao, how is it?" How is the little moon lord? ”
"Not hurt, a little frightened." Xiao Xiao was not surprised by Chu Feng's arrival.
"This is the gold sore medicine I brought, you can apply it." Chu Feng handed over the medicine in his hand and gestured to Xiaoxiao's injury.
Xiaoxiao looked down at herself, nodded, and took the medicine.
"What do you think of tonight's events?" The two of them stood around the bed, staring at the person on the bed, talking about tonight.
"It's not clear and further investigation is needed. But it is certain that it is a professional killer. Xiaoxiao calmly analyzed.
"It shouldn't be a person from the rivers and lakes, the Dark Moon Pavilion has a certain status in the rivers and lakes, and they are both people in the rivers and lakes, so they shouldn't do things like this, and they don't leave their names."
"I also think that it should be done by the imperial court."
"The Imperial Court? Do you have any doubts? Chu Feng also thought of this, but Chu Yue's identity shouldn't have been revealed so quickly.
"Our intelligence threatens the three countries at any time, whether it is Beichuan, Xiliang or Dashang, it is possible. It is not yet possible to say for sure. ”
"Could it be the identity of the Moon Lord?" Chu Feng didn't know what was going on in Jingzhong during this time, so he asked Xiaoxiao tentatively.
Xiaoxiao hesitated, "It shouldn't be, there are two identities of Yunyin Fang's owner, Ah Yan and the fourth princess, as a cover." Even if it is exposed, it should not be so fast. ”
"Xiaoyue Lord ......" Chu Feng actually wanted to ask Xiaoxiao, why the current early moon is different from the past, and he will be so flustered in the face of danger, even if the early moon does not know any martial arts in the past, but he is never afraid of danger, and he can always turn danger into a disaster.
But thinking about it, he still didn't say it, he was alone in front of him, and he Chu Feng never needed to question Chu Yue. "I'll go first, wait for the Moon Lord to wake up, Yunyin Fang."
Xiao Xiao watched Chu Feng leave, gently closed the doors and windows, sat in front of the bed, held Xu Momo's hand, and his thoughts were very confused.
---- Wangfu Study ----
"Lord Wang." Zhan Yi didn't quite understand what Qi Yu was thinking all along.
"Go find out who sent the killer tonight. From the crown prince to check. Qi Yu actually knew very well in his heart, but he just needed some verification.
"Yes."
"Also, check the early moon."
"Princess?" Zhan Yi was surprised, obviously the prince was still in a hurry just now, why did he want to investigate the princess in the blink of an eye.
"Yes, check what tricks she has besides being the Pavilion Master of the Dark Moon Pavilion. And whether the current first moon is the real first moon or not. ”
"Is the prince suspicious?"
"This early moon is definitely not a simple person, and tonight's scene will not make her react like this."
Although there are few people who know the pavilion master of the Dark Moon Pavilion, his style of action is well-known in the rivers and lakes. is notoriously vengeful and ruthless.
"Yes."
As soon as Zhan exited the study, Qi Yu still stood there and did not move, his suspicions of Chu Yue were never dispelled, and he never eliminated his vigilance. I vaguely feel that Chu Yue is the same kind of person as himself, but he is not.
At night, the silence is terrifying, the main street is still crowded, and there are many men and women in love between the flickering lights.
The moonlight is hazy, and the river reflects the moon, the people, and the lights on the shore.
Everything is beautiful, but after all. This night was not an ordinary night.
In the Prince's Mansion
"What? Failed? Prince Qi Ming looked at the leader of the killer kneeling on the ground, changed his previous kind face, and stared at the kneeling person fiercely.
"It's... Be. The fourth prince came suddenly, so he ...... "The leader of the killers is used to seeing life and death, and he never kills the wicked, but he is still frightened by the prince's voice trembling.
"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish. It's just that you can bring her back, and if you can't bring her back, you can kill her. I can't do anything like this, and I dare to claim to be a killer organization that never misses. ”
Qi Ming originally wanted to bring Xu Momo back to threaten Qi Yu, or kill him directly to frustrate his spirit. I spent a lot of money to find this killer organization from the rivers and lakes.
"Prince, don't be angry, Qi Yu is not so easy to deal with, and catching that girl may not necessarily make Qi Yu bow down." Zaifu Lin Yi said beside him.
Prince Qi Ming gave Lin Yi a look, signaling him not to leave a living mouth.
Lin Yi nodded, "Come with me, the prince is a trustworthy person, even if you don't complete the deal." But what I said before still counts, so come with me to settle the money. ”
Lin Yi originally wanted his subordinates to take the opportunity to kill the killer, but the killer was not the one who came out on the first day, how could there be such a good thing if the deal was not reached. Finding the opportunity, he fled the prince's mansion.
Lin Yi sent someone to look for it secretly, and he returned to the prince's study to discuss it in the long run.
"Prince, our friend has news." Lin Yi looked mysterious, and pulled out a letter sealed by fire paint from his sleeve.
"Quick, show me." Qi Ming hurriedly snatched the letter and opened it.
After Qi Ming read the letter, he turned around and burned the letter, "Do you want to reply to the letter?" ”
"Not for now, our friend hopes you can respond as soon as possible, everything is ready on his side." Lin Yi arched his hands and made a gesture towards the prince, his eyes always observing the changes on Qi Ming's face.
"Uncle, do we have to do this?" Qi Ming still has some hesitation, since he had been hesitant since he had been hooked up by Lin Yi and this "friend" at the behest of his mother.
"Prince, what are you waiting for? Qi Yu's power is growing day by day, and His Majesty's health is deteriorating, so you have to plan for yourself. ”
Lin Yi still cautiously observed the crown prince, "Qi Yu has military power in his hands, once something happens to His Majesty, he will definitely not let you succeed to the throne easily, at that time, what should you do?" What to do with the Queen Mother? ”
"But...... Beichuan and Xiliang have been inseparable since ancient times, and there has been constant war, will Xiliang really help us? Qi Ming was visibly shaken.
"It's not to help us, it's cooperation, Qi Yu suppressed Liangzhou, how many Xiliang people have died in the hands of Qi Yu over the years, and the last thing Xiliang wants is Qi Yu to inherit the throne. So, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. ”
Lin Yi paused and continued, "What Xiliang wants is Qi Yu's death, and aren't we too?" After his death, you can succeed to the throne smoothly, Beichuan or Beichuan, Xiliang or Xiliang. ”
Qi Ming turned around and stopped talking.
For a long time, as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, this deal is officially reached." ”
Qi Ming didn't turn around, still facing away from Lin Yi, but Lin Yi seemed to be able to imagine Qi Ming's expression now.
A lot of things were going on this night, in fact, every moment and every second, something different was happening. Life and death, joys and sorrows. After all, all human decisions are inseparable from desire.
Fortunately, no matter how terrible and long the night is, the sun will always rise on a new day.
When Xu Momo opened her eyes, Xiaoxiao was lying on her bedside, still asleep, and it seemed that she had been keeping watch here all night.
Xu Momo didn't dare to move, for fear of waking Xiaoxiao, but Xiaoxiao still woke up, "Are you awake?" How does it feel? ”
"I'm fine, your injury. 0 Xu Momo looked at the injuries on Xiaoxiao's body, a little distressed, she was still a teenage girl. ”
Xiaoxiao felt the emotion in Xu Momo's eyes, and looked down at herself embarrassedly, "I'm fine." This little hurt is out of the way. ”
After the two cleaned up, Xiaoxiao informed Xu Momo and Chu Feng of their agreement last night, and went to Yunyin Fang together.
Xu Momo wanted to go to Qi Yu to thank him, after all, he was the one who gave her last night, but as soon as he heard that Qi Yu was out, he gave up.
There is a tower in the palace, more than ten meters high, which is used to keep an eye on the enemy. Standing on it, you could see most of the city, and Qi Yu stood on the tower and watched Xu Momo and the two go away.
He told Zhan Yi to follow the princess secretly early in the morning and find out as much as possible what they were planning in Yunyin Fang.
