Chapter 52: Yanagi

The sound of weapons intersecting kept coming from outside "Lang, Lang", and it took about half an hour before the sound stopped completely.

It didn't take long for the voice of the dark one to sound outside the door: "Master, there are a total of eight assassins this time, only two are left alive, and the remaining six are all killed on the spot." ”

It was already beyond her expectations to be able to successfully keep the two, which was already a gain.

"Ahem, ahem... Go, throw the two assassins into the torture chamber. Remember, be sure to ask who is behind the scenes! Xu was cold at night, and with the wind chill in her body, she couldn't help coughing twice.

The extrauterine assassination, although not injured, is not a trivial matter, and this matter must be reported.

Thinking that in just one month, Xiao Qi encountered dangers one after another, it was too much of a coincidence, and she felt that he was very likely to be targeted.

And the first thing she thought of was Empress Zhao, who colluded with Father-in-law Qian, after all, after the failure of poisoning, she was very likely to be unwilling.

At this time, she suddenly realized one thing, because of the memory of her previous life, she habitually focused on the Xie family.

But they forgot that in addition to the Marquis of Yan'an and Prince Zhuang, there were other people who were also staring at Xiao Yan's life.

Empress Zhao, who conspired with Father-in-law Qian, is a good example.

She has nothing to do with the Xie family and the Pretend Prince's Mansion, but for some reason, she still wants Xiao Qi's life.

It's because she thinks too narrowly about the problem, forgetting that the current situation between the DPRK and China is too complicated, and out of consideration of their own interests, many people want Xiao Yan's life!

After these two tests of life and death, Xiao Qi obviously realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Sister Han, do you say they don't plan to let go of Lone, even if Lone doesn't pose any threat to them?!" The desolation revealed in the words made her feel very distressed.

But she understands that the best way now is to let him completely recognize the current situation!

Only by doing so will he become stronger in order to survive.

"Xiao Qi, from the moment you became the crown prince, your life has changed!

No amount of evasion you try to change this fact.

As long as you stay in this position, you will become a 'thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh' for some people.

Even if you choose to give up this position, they will not let you go, and you will not understand the principle of 'cutting the grass and eradicating the roots'! ”

She knew that these words were too cruel, but since he was sitting in this position, he had to accept his fate and take his own responsibility.

As soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Qi hurriedly left the county lord's mansion and returned to the palace.

At the gate of the county lord's mansion, watching him leave. She knew in her heart that he had listened to what he said last night, otherwise she would not have had such a big reaction.

Hongxiu was a little puzzled: "County Lord, why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be so disgusted with his identity?!" Shouldn't being able to be a prince be a great joy in life? No matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it! ”

In the east, the sun slowly rises and the sky dawns, which means that a new day is about to begin.

Regarding Hongxiu's question, Xiao Han sighed, "It's no wonder that he was born!" ”

If he had been born two years later, the emperor's uncle might not have chosen him to be the crown prince!

The timing of his birth was too coincidental, so coincidental that apart from him, there was really no other suitable candidate in the clan.

When she sighed, Dark One appeared behind her silently, and said in a low voice: "Master, those two people have been recruited, according to their confession, they are the killers of the famous killer organization in the rivers and lakes, the killers of the 'Shadowless Pavilion'."

They came to the county lord's mansion to carry out assassinations, but they were only ordered to act. Because someone found the Shadowless Pavilion and offered 1,000 taels of gold, asking them to come to the county lord's mansion last night to assassinate the crown prince of the dynasty.

The man also promised that after the deed was completed, he would pay another 1,000 taels of gold as the final payment. But the requirement is that you must get something that can prove the identity of the prince, which can be a close-fitting jade pendant or a head. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Han smiled coldly: "What a bold man, he actually wants to be the head of the crown prince!" Go contact Dark Er and ask him to find a way to see if he can find out the identity of that person. The identity of a person who can get so much gold must not be simple! ”

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will contact the dark two!"

Xiao Han whispered to himself: "The wind is blowing..."

In the days that followed, Xiao Qi did not come to the county lord's mansion again, and Xiao Han played what happened that night to Emperor Wu'an in the form of a recital.

Emperor Wu An didn't seem to have any reaction to this matter, but continued to strengthen the guards of the East Palace.

In the days that followed, the wind and waves were calm, and the person she asked Fang Qian to look for had also been found.

When Fang Qian took that person to the county lord's mansion to pay a visit, she even suspected that Fang Qian had found someone to make up for her in order to deal with her.

The person in front of her was bearded, his clothes were ragged, and he was full of the smell of wine, and she was a little dizzy after smoking.

She really couldn't help it, and asked, "Master Fang, are you joking with this county lord?!" ”

Fang Qian explained: "The county lord is angry, this person's name is Liu Sheng, he is the Tanhualang of the same period of the lower official, and he is also the best friend of the lower official. During the palace examination, even His Majesty was full of praise for the articles he made. It's just that he was burdened by his family and lost his official position, so he became what he is now. ”

She also has the impression of this 'Liu Sheng', the Liu family where Liu Sheng is located was also regarded as Zhong Mingding's food family a few years ago, and his father was an official to the Ministry of Shangshu, but because of a case of fraud in the imperial examination, he was beheaded to show the public, and the family was implicated.

It is said that the Liu family once produced a prodigy, who could write a chapter at the age of three, compose poetry at the age of five, and was admitted to the Tongsheng at the age of seven.

It's a pity that the world is impermanent, and a case of fraud in the imperial examination has made the former prodigy look like this, which is embarrassing.

But this does not mean that she will agree to let a drunkard be Lu Yi's teacher!

Lu Yi is kind to her, even if she thinks about Lu Yi, she will not agree.

Yanagi, who had been silent and delirious, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely clear, without a trace of drunkenness.

He straightened up, and the momentum of his whole person changed dramatically in an instant.

The ragged clothes can't hide the elegance and arrogance in his bones, which makes her completely understand that the gentleman's temperament will never change because of his appearance.

He saluted Xiao Han, and said in a hoarse voice: "Since the county lord knows about the incident five years ago, he has something to ask for." As long as the county lord agrees, he will be sent by the county lord in the future, and there will be no complaints. ”

Xiao Han's eyes were smiling, and his tone was indifferent: "The county lord doesn't know what Liu Gongzi is planning, but this county lord is just a female streamer, and I am afraid that he will not be able to help Liu Gongzi." ”

Probably didn't expect her to refuse directly, Liu Sheng was stunned, and only after a moment did he speak: "The county lord might as well make a decision after listening." ”

Seeing Liu Sheng's serious look, it also aroused her curiosity, "Since this is the case, Liu Gongzi might as well speak up." ”
