Chapter 58: Murder and Silence

After hearing the word "repeat offender", everyone couldn't help but change their faces, and rushed home in a panic to close their doors and close their doors, for fear of getting into trouble.Chinese

Su Liuying was shocked on the spot, and the next moment, when she came back to her senses, she was already lifeless and ran to the punishment department. can make such a big movement, don't think about it, it must be the assassin who assassinated Ning Guifei who escaped.

She couldn't understand how the three felons could escape from the water prison with Lou Yue in charge. Thinking that her hard-working plan was about to fail, she was so anxious that she stopped a little brother who was leading a horse on the side of the road, threw the money bag in her hand to him, and said, The Criminal Department will handle the case and buy a horse.

Before the little brother came to her senses, she had already stepped on the horse, urged her mount, and hurried towards the punishment department...... Back at the Criminal Department, she jumped off her horse and ran towards the cell, but when she arrived at the cell, except for the traces left by the fight and the injured officials who were being bandaged, the three assassins and Lou Yue and others were missing.

Su Liuying anxiously asked the official on the side, only to know that someone robbed the prison at nightfall, and now, the person was successfully robbed, and Lou Shizi chased out with someone.

Before she had time to think about it, Su Liuying had already remounted her horse and ran towards the west of the city pointed out by the official. The west of the city is the most remote part of the capital, with many forests and wastelands, and the poorest people live there.

When Su Liuying arrived in the woods west of the city, she heard the sound of fighting before she entered the forest. When she followed the sound, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

In front of him, in the clearing of the forest, dozens of black-clothed people surrounded Lou Yue and dozens of officials from the Criminal Department in the middle, forming an encirclement trend.

The leader of the assassins laughed triumphantly with the broadsword in his hand

"Lou Shizi, I didn't expect you to have today. Isn't your Lou's shadow guard famous all over the world and terrifying? Today, Lao Tzu personally slaughtered you, extinguished the prestige of your Lou family, and avenged your dead brother. Lou Yue leisurely leaned against the tree pole, the long sword was not unsheathed, and there was a sneer of disdain on his face, his expression clearly did not take the outlaws around him in his eyes, and regarded the leader's big words as a big joke.

He scoffed

"Fool, if it were me, I would have run for my life. Do you think that just because of your rabble, you want to kill this son? Heh, who told you that if you fight with more people, you will win?! Hearing this, Su Liuying, who was hiding on the side, was so angry that she couldn't cry or laugh.

When is it, he is still so arrogant, and he looks like he is completely begging for a fight, not to mention, he is obviously a bloody killing, but he said that it is as easy as a child fighting.

Sure enough, looking at his rampant and uninhibited smug appearance, the leader of the assassins who had died for nine days thought of his brother who died at the hands of Lou Jia's shadow guard, and then thought about the hardships he had endured in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the anger in his heart was even stronger, and he was about to slash the knife forward, eager to cut Lou Yue in half with a single sword.

However, before he could step out, a masked man beside him grabbed him and said

"He is right, our brother was ordered by your noble man to save you safely. It's still important to escape, if you let the Lou family shadow guard arrive, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood. "The man in black who robbed the prison was all bewitched by the heavy money and desperately tried to save people, and now that he has been rescued, he only hopes that he will escape safely so that he can get the rest of the reward, and he will be willing to see the Assassin leader go on an adventure again.

Hearing his words, the assassin leader pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said fiercely

"Okay, for the sake of the brothers desperately saving each other, it's important for me to get out first." After that, most of the people were left to continue to pester Lou Yue and the others, and the assassin leader and a few others fled first.

Seeing that he was about to escape, Su Liuying didn't think about it and secretly chased after her, and behind her, Lou Yue and the officials of the Criminal Department also fought with the remaining black-clothed people.

Out of the forest, those fugitives got on their horses and left, Su Liuying hurriedly came to the place where she hid her horse, untied the reins and was about to ride the horse to chase, when suddenly the horse's back sank, and a pair of big hands hugged her waist from behind.

'Ahh The sudden extra pair of hands frightened Su Liuying and screamed, and before she could turn back in horror, a deep voice sounded coldly above her head.

"It's me. Chase! "It's Lou Yue! Su Liuying still couldn't help but glance back at him. The sky was completely dark, and a cold moon hung in the sky, and the cold light dimly illuminated the handsome and solemn face of the man behind him.

Wasn't he entangled by the man in black? How did you break through in an instant? As if to understand the question in her eyes, Lou Yue took the reins from her hand and spurred the horse towards the road.

"Do you think there is anyone in this world who can stop this world!" She knew Lou Yue's arrogance and self-confidence, but now listening to his determined voice ringing lightly in her ears, she suddenly understood that he was not arrogant and confident, but that he really had such a ability.

The north wind whistled and blew pain. Su Liuying's whole body was wrapped in Lou Yue's arms, his chin was against her shoulder, and the breath he exhaled sprayed on her face, making her ears red.

His arms were warm, and the faint fragrance of his body drilled into her nose, and she stiffened as far away from him as possible, but the narrow back of the horse, coupled with the galloping horses, her body was always uncontrollably leaning into his arms......

"How did you end up here?" Just when she leaned stiffly into his arms and didn't know what to do, Lou Yue's voice came again.

"I ...... When I heard that, the assassin fled, and I ...... I chased after ......."

"Heh, I've never seen a woman as bold as you, let alone a woman like you." In the last two words, Lou Yue said it like gritting his teeth.

It's not that she's not unaware of how ferocious these assassins are, but they're chasing after them regardless of how cruel they are, what if they find out?

Just now in the forest, Lou Yue found Su Liuying hiding behind the tree, so he deliberately provoked the assassin leader, just because he was afraid that she would be accidentally discovered.

However, what he didn't expect was that when she saw the assassin fleeing, she still wanted to secretly chase after her, wasn't this a death?

Thinking of this, Lou Yue was angry and annoyed, looking at the small white and tender ears in front of her, and couldn't wait to take a bite to see if she knew the pain.

Su Liuying didn't know that Fang Cai's ear was almost bitten by someone. She looked intently ahead, trying to find the Assassin, but the night was too dark, and she couldn't see too far under the hazy moonlight, so she lost the Assassin with her.

Seeing Lou Yue driving his horse along the mountain road without hesitation, Su Liuying had doubts in his heart, and couldn't help but ask out loud

"Does the prince know where the assassins fled?"

"Of course you know!" Lou Yue did not hide it, and replied firmly. All of this was carefully arranged by him, and of course he would be 'taken' somewhere.

Hearing this, Su Liuying suddenly thought of something in her heart, and the next moment her heart was as translucent as a mirror. He turned his head to look at Lou Yue with a cold face in disbelief and said in surprise

"Is it all ...... tonight? It's all arranged by the prince? Under the cold and hazy moonlight, Su Liuying's jade-like face became more and more delicate and moving, and in the bright autumn eyes, in addition to shock, there was also an unconcealable appreciation.

This appreciation, of course, is for Lou Yue. If he had arranged everything tonight, she would have been completely relieved, she believed that Lou Yue had a way to get the assassin to lure out the people behind the scenes.

Seeing the appreciation in her eyes, Lou Yue's eyes also lit up, and the corners of her mouth almost inaudibly raised a smug smile.

The tone was still cold, and he said disapprovingly

"Otherwise, do you think this son can't stand three prisoners!?" Hearing him say this, Su Liuying's heart was completely relieved, and her stiff body couldn't help but relax.

Lou Yue clearly felt the changes in the body of the person in his arms, his heart had never been so satisfied as now, and he couldn't help but secretly tighten his arms and hold her tighter, and he had a long-cherished wish in his heart, wanting to just hold her and ride a horse all the way down, and never be separated...... However, quiet and good times are always the easiest to break.

In the next moment, a golden smoke suddenly rose in the dark night sky, hovering in the air for a long time, but it was the signal for help sent by Lou's shadow guard.

Lou Yue was startled, and in the next second, he was already riding his horse and running quickly in the direction of the smoke. They were very fast, but they were already in the col where the accident had happened.

However, even then, when they arrived, three Assassins and five men in black were stabbed and fell in a pool of blood...... Seeing this, the hearts of both of them froze.

Without waiting for the horses to stop steadily, both of them jumped off their horses in unison, and Su Liuying rushed to the assassin leader, while Lou Yue went to check on the injuries of the man in black.

The three assassins were all stabbed in the chest with a sword, Su Liuying rushed to the side of the assassin leader, touched his snort with a white face, and even had a faint breath, and hurriedly pressed the wound on his chest with one hand that was gushing blood, and took out the string of rosewood Buddha beads from his arms with one hand, and said in a trembling voice

"Tell me, who is the owner of this bead? I heard what you said that day when you assassinated the concubine. When the assassin leader saw the Buddha bead in her hand, his eyes tried to rise, and when he saw Su Liuying's stunning face, his eyes froze, and the next moment there was a hideous and desperate mockery on his face.

"It's you...... Originally...... You took it...... Your day...... I didn't even die......"

"Please tell me, who is the person who asked you to get the beads back?" Su Liuying's voice became more and more trembling, she was afraid that if the assassin leader took a breath, no one would ever know the secret of the Buddha beads.

The assassin's voice grew weaker and weaker, but with a chill to the boneโ€”

"The owner of the beads...... It is...... The one who wants your life ......" The voice fell, and the leader of the assassins finally tilted his head and died in anger.

Hearing this, Su Liuying's blood coagulated all over her body, and she stayed motionless on the spot...... On the other side, Lou Yue examined the fatal wounds of the five men in black, all of whom were killed by cutting their necks with a precise sword.

Shock flashed in his eyes - among these five people, four of them were the shadow guards of his Lou family, all of them were strong in martial arts, but they didn't expect to be killed at the same time...... can quickly kill eight martial arts masters at the same time, and all of them are killed with one sword, how unfathomable is the martial arts of the people who come!

I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. Lou Yue's heart sank instantly, and he felt more and more that the concubine's miscarriage and even assassination were not as simple as they seemed on the surface...... But after a while, more horses' hooves came, but it was Nanshan who rushed over with the other shadow guards who saw the signal.

As soon as they saw that the assassin was exterminated, even the four shadow guards of the Lou family lost their lives, and Nanshan and the others were also shocked.

Nanshan stepped forward and looked Lou Yue up and down anxiously, and said with concern

"Master, are you hurt?" Lou Yue shook his head weakly and gritted his teeth

"When I arrived, they were already ...... He's dead. Nanshan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He knew that Lou Yue followed the assassin all the way, but he didn't expect that the murderer who killed the mouth moved so fast that even the prince didn't have time to save people.

The audience suddenly fell into a nameless panic and panic. Lou Yue carefully arranged, originally wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, using the people planted by the Lou family in the rivers and lakes, and spreading the news in the rivers and lakes with secret news that there were nobles in the palace who paid a lot of money to rescue the three prisoners in the prison, which attracted the robbery, and then deliberately let the assassins go, but finally closed the nine doors, so that the assassins could not escape from the capital...... He believed that the last person the desperate Assassin asked for help would be the master of his palace.

And because of the prison robbery, the three Assassins would also trust the shadow guards placed in the Jianghu people, so that the Assassins could personally 'take' the shadow guards to meet the black hands in the palace.

Even if the assassin does not ask for help, the robbery of the prison by the criminal department will be known to the whole city, and it is believed that the black hand in the palace will not be able to sit still, and for an outcast like the assassin, the most predictable consequence is to kill people and destroy their mouths.

Lou Yue expected that the people behind the scenes would send people to kill the three assassins, so he deliberately selected four shadow guards with the strongest martial arts to stay with the assassins, and he himself followed all the way, but he didn't expect that the people who came were far more than he expected, and they killed eight masters in a blink of an eye, and each of them was killed with a sword...... In this way, the last clue is gone.

Su Liuying stood in a daze, her whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and she couldn't stop trembling - it wasn't until this moment, looking at the people who were still alive a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, they became eight cold corpses, that Su Liuying understood how terrifying and powerful the enemy she was facing.

After investigating for so long, they didn't even get the slightest clue about the mastermind behind the scenes, but the opponent actually understood their plan every step of the way, and wiped out all the clues with lightning power, ruthless and accurate!

Lou Yue suffered an unprecedented setback, his plan was seamless, but the opponent took a desperate step and didn't take him seriously at all...... And such a staked opponent, if she wants to attack her, will she still have a way to live?

Lou Yue raised her eyes to look at Su Liuying, who was trembling all over, thinking of the appreciation of herself in her eyes on the back of the horse, her heart ached, and her face was so cold that water was dripping.

He let her down! Before she knew it, Lou Yue looked at Su Liuying's dejected appearance, thinking that she was a girl's family, no matter how bold she was, she was afraid of such a killing with her own eyes, so she ordered the shadow guard to stay and investigate the scene, see if the murderer left clues, and then bring the body back to the criminal department.

But he personally sent Su Liuying back. There was nothing to say all the way, and after inquiring for so long and coming up with such a result, both of them were extremely heavy.

When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Su Liuying dismounted and saluted Lou Yue to retire. Lou Yue looked at her depressed appearance, thinking that she was worried that she would not be able to go back to pay to Ning Guifei, so she couldn't help but say

"You don't have to worry, Concubine Ning, this prince will help you to Chen Ming, and she won't let her blame you." Su Liuying nodded weakly.

"But scared?" Without waiting for her to take a step, he rode his horse two steps closer, and stopped in front of her and looked at her condescendingly.

Su Liuying didn't quite understand the meaning of his words for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at him in a daze. Lou Yue was worried that she was frightened today, but she asked casually on her face

"I saw blood today...... Do you have nightmares at night? However, without waiting for Su Liuying to speak, the next moment, her body was light, Lou Yue reached out and pulled her back on the horse, took her in his arms, and ran towards the brightly lit city...... By the time Su Liuying came back to his senses, the horse had already run a long way.

She turned her head to look at Lou Yue behind her in confusion,

"What are you going to do?"

"Today, you and I are upset, this son invites you to drink!" Lou Yue's voice was depressed and dull, he had never been so frustrated as today, not only because of the assassin, but more importantly, he felt that he had disappointed her, and the huge feeling of emptiness in his heart was very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but want to find an outlet to vent well...... He wanted to find a place to get drunk alone, but when he remembered her pitiful and helpless appearance in her nightmare on the night of Laba Festival, he was relieved that she couldn't get down.

With so many things happening today, if she is scared, at least he will be by her side...... Thinking that the assassin was exterminated, thinking about the ruthlessness of the people behind the scenes, and thinking about the matter of the Buddha beads sinking into the sea, Su Liuying's mood also fell to the bottom.

At this time, she didn't want to go back to the palace to face Ning Guifei's interrogation and accusations, and her dull mood also wanted to find a place to vent, so she didn't ask where Lou Yue was going to take her, and let him take her to the streets in the middle of the night.

At this time, it was past midnight, there was silence on the long street, and the restaurants and teahouses were closed, and there was only one place to go to drink.

Lou Yue took her directly to Xiaonanli. Konanri is the most famous fireworks place in Kyoto, where there are dozens of large and small Qinlou Chu Pavilions, and the most famous of them is the largest and oldest Mirror Flower Water Pavilion.

Le Ma stopped at the Mirror Flower Water Pavilion, Su Liuying dismounted and glanced at the signboard in front of him, and knew in his heart what kind of place this was, but he had no objection at all, and followed Lou Yue into the house without changing his color.

When Du Niang, the old bustard in the building, saw that Lou Yue came to the door, her eyes were shining, she couldn't believe it, and hurriedly greeted her with joy, and was about to call out the best girls in the building.

Even though she has been in the Qinglou for decades and has seen countless beauties, she has never seen such a stunning beauty as Su Liuying.

Therefore, the bright eyes lit up with excitement. However, in the next moment, thinking that Lou Shizi would not come to the door once in a year, this time he finally came to the door, but he brought such a stunning color by his side, presumably, there was nothing to do with the girl in the building later, so the excited eyes dimmed again.

Lou Yue asked her for the best upper room, and without squinting, she led Su Liuying through the flowers and willows, and walked straight to the upper room on the second floor through a group of red, purple and green.

When he arrived at the upper room and asked for wine and food, Lou Yue waved his hand to let the warblers and Yanyan who were waiting for them retreat, and they didn't even leave a single maid who poured wine.

Without waiting for Su Liuying to carry the jug, Lou Yue had already grabbed the jug in front of her and asked her

"Can you drink? If not, there's fruit wine. Su Liuying smiled bitterly and sighed

"Even if you buy drunk, how can you get drunk with fruit wine. Today, I will accompany the prince to get drunk and rest! With that, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

The hot feeling burned from her throat to her heart, and Su Liuying gasped heavily, and poured a second cup by herself and drank it.

Compared with her sip of drink, Lou Yue drank very much, and when she drank the fourth glass, he finally raised his hand to stop her wine glass and said coldly

"Drink slowly, don't spoil the good wine." Four glasses of wine, Su Liuying's mind was already a little drowsy, she was lying on the table, closed her eyes and was about to rest for a while, suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall downstairs, and then, familiar and unfamiliar music sounded, the cheerful flute sound combined with the exciting drum beat, the copper cymbals also sounded, and the entire building of the Mirror Flower Water Pavilion was immersed in a cheerful and stirring music.

Hearing this familiar melody again after four years, Su Liuying's whole body was shocked, and the wine instantly woke up, and after being stunned for a moment, she finally hesitated to push open the window of the adjacent building.

On the high platform in the middle of the downstairs, the red candle is swaying, and a graceful woman is covered with tulle, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, dancing in a big red dress, like a gorgeous red plum blooming on the high platform.

With the radical beat of the drum, the flute is also more and more tactful and melodious, and the woman with the accompaniment, tiptoe to the ground, graceful body spun rapidly, the red dress and ribbon fluttering, like a fairy in red about to soar, instantly confused everyone's eyes.

For a while, the sound of applause and exclamation resounded throughout the building, and the benefactors in the building could not help but exclaim

"Someone once offered 100 gold to let the red-sleeved girl dance this Hu Xuan dance did not get her wish, but today it is shining, it is really rare!"

"Yes, I don't know which noble person paid a lot of money to invite the red-sleeved girl, and even took us to feast your eyes."

"It is said that the dance of Su Liuying, the daughter of the Su family, in Yunmengtai four years ago is the real alluring of the country and the city, but it is a pity that you and other small people do not have such eye blessings, and now it is good to look at the natural posture of the red-sleeved girl......" Everyone at the bottom was discussing, Su Liuying looked at the gorgeous figure on the high platform in a daze, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously overflowed with a trace of unspeakable bitter smile, and she was about to silently close the window and continue drinking, but found that Lou Yue also came to the window and was quietly looking at the high platform below.

Seeing this, she retracted her hand that closed the window, and was about to return to the table. Lou Yue suddenly asked

"What do you think of her?" Su Liuying glanced back at the woman on the stage and said with a faint smile

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful." Hearing this, Lou Yue glanced back at her lightly, but the next second she turned around and looked at the figure on the high platform downstairs, frowning and sneering

"Less than 1 in 10,000!" With that, he raised his hand to close the window, and excluded the cheerful music and the gorgeous figure.

Su Liuying wasn't sure if the ten-thousandth in his mouth was comparing the red sleeves with himself back then, but he still blushed and silently poured another glass of wine.

Lou Yue also drank the wine in a sullen voice, and the whole room was silent for a while. After a while, the sound downstairs also quieted down, Su Liuying was about to open his mouth to go back to the Criminal Department, it was so late, it was impossible to enter the palace, and he could only go to the Criminal Department to sleep for one night tonight.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, Lou Yue frowned slightly, and said coldly

"What?" A delicate voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley sounded softly,

"Back to the prince, the slave family has sent wine to the prince." Lou Yue glanced at the wine jug that was almost empty, and said coldly

"Come in." As soon as the words fell, the door was gently pushed open. Through the screen, I didn't see anyone, but I smelled a strange and unique fragrance first...... Cat flutter Chinese
