Chapter 41: Risk Mitigation
The man in the moon-white robe spoke, "Doesn't the princess want to know who is so generous and hires a killer to kill you?" ”
Although Hachi helped herself just now, Princess Mingyue still had no reason to believe him.
It's hard to say whether it's friend or foe.
"What is your purpose?" Princess Mingyue stared at him and asked rhetorically.
"Our purpose is simple, but we can't tell you."
Princess Mingyue snorted coldly, thinking about the possibility of escaping from this person's hands.
The martial arts of the man in front of him were obviously higher than the man in black just now, and his own spells were very likely to be unable to beat him.
His spell had only been discovered not long ago, and what made him feel strange was that this spell was like a natural spell that would be activated when certain conditions were met.
"How can you do business if you are so insincere?"
Hachi glanced at the man in black who was covered. The iron bell was thick and strong, and the man in black couldn't break through it for a while, and he beckoned to Chihiro in the distance.
"It's not me who wants to talk to you about business, it's her."
Chihiro was confused when she heard Hachi's unexplained answer.
What kind of business can she and the princess talk about, it's almost the same to fall in love.
Princess Mingyue turned to look at Chihiro.
This woman was ordinary in other aspects except for her more prominent appearance, but the secret weapon she had just used, or more accurately, a spell, made him slightly surprised her.
He consulted many classics, but there was no record of this phenomenon, so could these two people give themselves an answer?
For a while, none of the three spoke.
Does Hachi want to get a chance to get close to Princess Mingyue through an exchange? Chihiro thought to herself, it was too dangerous to sneak into the princess's mansion every day to wait for the rabbit, and it would be nice to get a chance to be by the princess's side.
What could they do in exchange for wanting to get close to him?
Thinking about it, Chihiro broke the calm with a light cough, then nodded, pretending to be confident.
"Yes, it is this girl who wants to talk to the princess about a business."
Chihiro looks up at Hachi and decides to take a gamble.
"I really want to talk to the princess about a business," Chihiro's eyes sank, giving a sense of trustworthiness, "I can find out who is behind this assassination." ”
She's betting, she doesn't know the details of Princess Mingyue at the moment, but he needs to hide his gender to participate in the beauty pageant, and he needs to hide it from everyone.
She bet on his inconvenience, on the forces behind him, on the need for an eagle's eye to fly high into the air to help him detect hidden enemies.
Princess Mingyue frowned and did not speak.
This woman is not dumb, she just can't speak the language here, Princess Mingyue knows it.
At this time, Xiao Hachi spoke: "We can help you find out the mastermind behind it, you only need to give us a little payment." ”
"You're trying to borrow my identity?" Princess Mingyue suddenly smiled, not knowing why.
Chihiro was right.
Xiaoba shook his head: "We are serious businessmen and will not let you do anything embarrassing." It can even be said that your identity is not of interest to us. ”
"I don't know what I have anything of value on me," Princess Mingyue sneered, and continued, "Do you also like my face?" You can't take this away. ”
"Everyone in the world is attracted to beauty, but some people know that the more beautiful something is, the more deadly it is. Wait until we help you find out the truth of the matter, and then you can think about giving or not giving it. ”
Hearing this, Princess Mingyue seemed to have a sense of it, and slowly clenched the fist hanging to her side.
Xiaohachi grabbed Chihiro's waist and said goodbye to Princess Mingyue, "After the 3rd, we will come back to visit, and by then, the princess must have gotten a useful clue from this black-clothed mouth!" ”
After saying that, Hachi took Chihiro and left the courtyard under the watchful eye of a team of guards not far away, and disappeared.
"Princess!" A team of guards knelt down one after another, "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the princess." ”
"You find a way to pry that man's mouth open and get the credit outdone." Princess Mingyue looked down at the captain of the guard, "Also, those two people don't have to chase just now." If they hadn't happened to pass by, the palace would have gone down to see Hades a long time ago. ”
"Subordinates obey!" The captain of the guard didn't really believe that the two people happened to be passing by, and he raised his hand to get the man in black out.
Soon, they heard a man shouting, "This man has committed suicide by poisoning." ”
"Get the body out and search for any other clues." The captain of the guard commanded.
Goose Yellow and Zao Hong, who had just arrived, stepped forward one after the other: "Princess." ”
"Hongu is tired."
"Yes!" Zao Hong squeezed forward, helped Princess Mingyue, and walked towards the bedroom.
Goose Huang stabilized his swaying body from the jujube red, and watched thoughtfully as a group of men pulled the man in black out of the iron.
Is that him? Goose Huang guessed, and then denied his idea. How could that person come up with such a tortuous method, he probably would only send someone to kidnap the princess directly!
Tonight, some people are afraid to lose sleep.
On the road, in the wind.
Chihiro lay on Hachi's back, with an excited face: "Hachi, don't you see, I just succeeded in using cards!" ”
"Hmm!"
"I thought my ability was quite chicken, but I didn't expect it to be quite useful!"
In addition to the need to improve the aim, this transformation is really beyond Chihiro's expectations.
At that time, she wanted to wrap Princess Mingyue's whole body, so the armor that should have been half of her body was portrayed by her as a dress, which not only saved Princess Mingyue's life, but also successfully trapped the assassin.
What a bonus.
For the next few days, Chihiro nested in the inn, studying her skills.
During this period, Tattered came to her once and gave her a piece of paper.
Tattered said that this was the result of his learning in the past few days.
Xiaoba found a tea shop for the tatters as an apprentice, taking care of food and housing, and teaching him to read and write in his spare time, which is a good arrangement.
Chihiro looked at the crooked and ugly two words on the rice paper, and said to the tatters like a kindergarten teacher encouraging children: "Yes, I can write after learning for so many days!" ”
Tattered didn't know what Chihiro said, just looking at her smile and her face turned red,
"Thousand--search."
"You mean those two words are my name?" Chihiro asked, incredulously.
Tattered still pointed to the words, and slowly said the word Chihiro.
This time I understood, Chihiro turned her head and thanked the rags,
That's how she communicates with the tattered, she can understand every word that the tattered says, give a response,
Tattered couldn't understand what Chihiro was saying, but when Chihiro spoke, he always listened carefully and never interrupted.
When the tattered was sent away, Chihiro took the piece of paper with her name on it and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she sighed, folded the paper, and put it away.
She had asked Tattered, and Tattered knew only a dozen words, including himself and his name.
Such feelings are too heavy for her to bear.
Chihiro wishes she was wrong.
