Chapter 300: The Promise
"Are you hot?" Yun Yao handed over the handkerchief and asked Hu Yao to wipe her sweat.
The more Hu Xi looked, the more she felt that there was a demon hidden under Yun Yao's innocent expression, she carefully took the handkerchief and said, "It's indeed a little hot." ”
Yun Yao thought that it was almost winter, but she didn't break it: "Although the accounts are simple and correct, there is no inventory yet." I also have to ask the noble lady to compare with me, and finally sign it. After all, I took over the Inner Courtyard Mansion from you, and the two of us should check how many things you put into my hands. ”
It's so ruthless, Hu Xi suddenly knew that it was troublesome, if it was really right, wouldn't his deficit be exposed? Although he is the cousin of the prime minister, he can't imagine the consequences.
"When are you going to start?"
"The day after tomorrow, let's choose a good day and an auspicious day, make sacrifices, and then check the inventory."
Hu Xi immediately thought that he still had two days left: "It's okay, I'm a little uncomfortable now, then we'll see you the day after tomorrow." With that, he left.
Hu Xi didn't have many options, either he confessed, or he set fire to the inner courtyard to die without proof, or he just returned the things.
Choose one of the three, Yun Yao thinks so.
However, Yun Yao's palace fighting experience is still not enough, and she didn't realize that Hu Xi had allies, and in Guan Zhong's backyard, she was not alone, but in a small group.
Hu Ji embezzled so many things and distributed them to the people in the small group, and seeing that the incident was about to happen, they immediately got together to discuss what to do.
"......" The three women are all sitting on pins and needles.
"I thought I was a cook with no skills, but now I know that I underestimated her." Hu Xi said coldly: "We don't have much time, we must think of a way before the day after tomorrow." Tell me, what should I do? ”
"Kill it, she's a cook anyway, as long as she doesn't make trouble, the key to the inner courtyard is still yours."
Hu Ji didn't think about it, but said: "After all, she is the person that the minister of state fancies, and I still want her to be an official when I listen to the tone of the prime minister." ”
"I really don't understand how the prime minister of the country can take a fancy to her, if she has no appearance, if she has no figure, if she has no figure, isn't she just able to cook, what's the big deal."
"Don't complain, complaining won't solve the problem." Now she needs a solution to her problem, not complaining, Hu said.
"I still stand by my opinion, assassination. I have a suitable candidate here. ”
"You mean Chunying?"
"That's right, it's that stupid woman, who dances with guns and sticks on weekdays, not like a woman, but I am kind to her, and she said that she would help me do something. Isn't it easy to let her kill a cook? ”
"I heard that Chunying is the daughter of the swordsmith of the Jin Kingdom, because the sword she cast injured the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, so their family fled to the Qi State for refuge, and later took refuge in the Prime Minister, and dedicated their daughter to the Prime Minister?"
"That's right, it's her, she's pretty good, she's just too vulgar. After entering the house, she didn't change her temper, so the prime minister never favored her. Last time, her father was sick and wanted to ask to see the prime minister, but the minister was not at home, so he begged me, and I gave her some money. Afterwards, she said that she was willing to repay her life, I think she has a lot of ability, so it is better to let her kill Yunyao. ”
"But ......," Hu Ji still hesitated.
"We can arrange it like this, let Chunying go to Yun Yao's trouble, let them quarrel when the time comes, and then let Chun Ying stab Yun Yao to death, this is completely because of the quarrel, and it has nothing to do with us."
Hu Xi's eyes lit up, and he felt that this method was good, and the quarrel between the two rose to a homicide case, and he didn't know it.
"Is Chun Ying credible? You won't betray us. ”
"Don't worry, she won't lie and shame the family. As long as she agrees, she will definitely not betray us. ”
Since this is the case, Hu Ji made up her mind and said fiercely: "Just do it, you go and explain, you must do it neatly and neatly, and don't leave flaws." ”
"No problem."
Chunying is sixteen years old this year, the daughter of the sword-casting family, she has liked swords since she was a child, but liking swords is not helpful in the backyard, so she can only rely on the lowest monthly salary to live, and she is also poor. The other women are weaving, she is practicing swords, weaving can make some money, practicing swords will only waste food.
But even if she is hungry, Chun Ying will maintain her sword to shine.
When Hu Xi's accomplice found Chunying and asked her to kill someone, the thin girl did not refuse or agree, but asked, "This person has done a lot of evil?" ”
"Not really, just a cook."
"And what did she do that would have died?" You have to give yourself a reason to kill, if the other party is the one who should be killed, then Chunying is duty-bound.
"I said that she was a cook and didn't do anything bad, but she managed too many things, so damn it." "Are you going to kill or not?"
Kill a cook who didn't do anything bad? Chunying resisted in her heart.
Seeing the girl's embarrassed expression, Hu Xi's accomplice coldly threatened: "Have you forgotten who helped you save your father?" You promised to do something for me, and now I want you to kill someone, do you want to break your promise? ”
Promises don't want to be broken, and people don't want to kill. Contradictory, in the end, Chunying still decided to fulfill his promise, because in life, abiding by his promise is the bottom line of life.
After a simple psychological struggle, Chunying agreed to the other party's request: "I know. ”
"Remember, don't betray me. If you are caught, you will be held accountable for all your crimes. ”
Chun Ying said simply: "After killing the other party, I will kill myself by cutting my neck." I kill because I promise, and I kill myself because I kill someone I shouldn't kill. ”
Hearing Chun Ying say this, Hu Xi's accomplice suddenly laughed, if both of them died, it couldn't be better: "You must kill her before tomorrow." "And you're going to find fault and kill her after a quarrel, so that no one will suspect that you killed intentionally, and only think that you killed in a moment of anger, and I don't have to be suspicious." Can you remember? ”
Chunying nodded, and then took the sword and went to Zaoyun Yao, her face was heavy, because her life was about to end early, but in order to fulfill her promise, in order to repay the grace of saving her father, she would not regret it.
Chunying didn't know that she had been locked by a gaze, it was Dan Ji, and she didn't allow anyone other than her to do anything to Yun Yao. So she was ready to kill Chunying and kill Hu Xi and the gang.
The only one who can kill Yunyao is herself, and no one else wants to kill her.
Chunying was determined to die to fulfill her promise, but she didn't know that if she wanted to kill Yun Yao, she had to pass the Danji level first, and this was a hurdle she couldn't overcome.
In fact, Dan Ji also knew that Chun Ying couldn't kill Yun Yao, but after the last conversation, Dan Ji had a strange possessiveness towards Yun Yao. just doesn't want anyone with ulterior motives to get close to Yunyao, she wants to enjoy Yunyao alone.
Chunying felt hairy on her back, and always felt as if she was staring at herself. I couldn't help but clench the scabbard, this sword was a gift from her father when she was twelve years old, and she never left her hand for four years. When I turned around, there was no one behind me, could it be that I was too nervous?
After all, it was the first time to kill someone, so there was a hallucination, it must be like this, after all, she didn't expect that the first person she killed would be an ordinary cook with no evil traces, which was too far from the sword world she imagined to eradicate evil. But for the sake of her promise, she had to go, and the contradictions in her heart could be imagined, so she suspected that her own uneasiness caused her suspicions. onclick="hui"
