Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Assassin (Part II)

The procession did not linger long in the market, and the women, after buying some spices, returned to the palace.

The guards at the gate of the palace were even tighter, however, these women seemed to have a very high status, and the palace guards didn't dare to check at all, just glanced at Jiang Wu's delivery carriage, and then let them enter the palace.

The inner courtyard of the palace is scattered, and the palace is densely populated. Jiang Wu followed this team all the way, turning around the palace, almost getting lost.

"The palace is so big, it's really not easy to find the monarch of Loulan!" Jiang Wu said secretly in his heart. However, even if you can't catch the king, it is enough to catch one or two princes and ministers.

"It's here!" a guard pointed to a side hall and said to Jiang Wu: "You park the carriage here, wait for the transmission, and don't walk around!"

"Yes!" Jiang Wu stayed in the side hall. There were also two guards guarding the outside of the temple.

Jiang Wu waited here, and it was more than an hour to wait. Seeing that it was already dark, and the assassination time agreed upon by the Daoists was getting closer and closer, Jiang Wu was anxious.

If he kills him at this time, the two guards will naturally not be able to stop him, but in this way, the palace guards will be alarmed, and it will be difficult for the Dao heroes to successfully assassinate him at that time. He could only wait and see what happened, and then improvise when the Dao heroes entered the palace.

At this time, suddenly a palace maid came to the side hall, this palace maid seemed to have quite an identity, and the two guards saluted her respectfully.

The palace maid glanced at Jiang Wu, and then said, "You are sending silk, bring a silk, come with me!"

"Yes!" Jiang Wu took out a silk horse from the carriage, he thought about it, all the Dao heroes were about to come in, so he took out the blue sword from the mezzanine and hid it in the silk.

"Move faster!" the palace maid urged.

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Wu came out of the carriage holding the silk, quite nervous in his heart.

"Follow me!" The palace maid took Jiang Wu and walked around a few more courtyards in the palace, and finally stepped into a courtyard with birds singing and flowers.

Unlike other courtyards, the guards here are all women with scimitars at their waists, and there are no male guards.

"It must be the palace of some concubine. Jiang Wu secretly said in his heart: "Most of the people who buy silk are also her!"

Jiang Wu followed the palace maid to the door of the palace, and stopped, the concubine palace, he was an outsider and a man, so it was inconvenient to enter.

"Come in!" urged, the maid urged.

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and then followed the palace maid into the hall, and the palace maid immediately closed the palace door.

The hall was warm and fragrant, Jiang Wu lowered his head, and did not dare to look around.

"Princess Qiyu, that person has been brought. The palace maid said aloud.

After a while, another maid came over and said, "The princess is bathing and changing, let him wait here for a while." ”

"Yes!" The palace maid turned around and said to Jiang Wu: "You sit here, wait a while, don't move!"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Wu sat in the hall, holding the silk in his hand, and didn't dare to put it down, because the green sword was hidden in it.

"It turned out to be Princess Loulan, not a concubine. Well, it's all the same, maybe you can learn from their mouths where the Loulan monarch is!" Jiang Wu said secretly in his heart.

At this time, the two palace maids retreated one after another, and closed the door when they exited, leaving Jiang Wu alone.

There is a huge embroidered screen between this side hall and the inner hall, and the faint sound of playing water comes from behind the screen.

"Could it be that this Princess Loulan is really taking a bath?" Jiang Wu was surprised: "But she actually let a strange man wait alone in the palace, and only separated by a screen, it is too bold......!

"The customs of Loulan Kingdom are really strange!" Jiang Wu's face was flushed, and he didn't dare to think about it further.

After a while, the sound of the water stopped, and the princess seemed to be out of the bath and should be wiping her body. The hall was quiet, and Jiang Wu could only hear his own breathing.

The sound of light footsteps came from behind the screen, Jiang Wu hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "The grass people greet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Sit down. The other commanded.

"Yes!" Jiang Wu sat back in place and couldn't help but glance at the other party.

The other party is still covered all over, but not in a black robe, but in a long white skirt, covered with white veil, under the reflection of the lanterns in the hall, it looks very delicate.

Jiang Wu didn't dare to look more, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

"You're not from Loulan, are you?" asked the princess.

"No! the grass people are merchants from Middle-earth. Jiang Wu replied.

"Merchants?" the princess shook her head slightly: "It's not like it!

"The grass people have too little experience in business, which makes His Highness smile. Jiang Wu said.

The princess asked, "Do you know the custom of my kingdom, that a woman's veil can only be removed by her husband?"

Jiang Wu nodded: "The grass people have heard a little. ”

The princess then asked, "Do you know that a woman's boudoir is also only allowed to be entered by her husband! This palace is the boudoir of this princess, and if you step into it without permission, you know that it is a capital offense!"

Jiang Wu was startled and hurriedly explained: "Please forgive Your Highness, the grass people don't know this rule." The grass people are here to deliver silk, and it was the palace maid who just now ordered the grass people to wait in the hall!"

"Send silk?" The princess sneered: "I'm afraid not! How can a dignified Taoist military captain and a Taoist who has cultivated a mastery of swordsmanship be a cloth deliverer!"

Jiang Wu's face changed greatly when he heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at the other party carefully, and suddenly, he felt that the other party's eyes seemed to be a little familiar.

"Is that you?" Jiang Wu suddenly exclaimed, "You are the female assassin?"

The princess smiled slightly: "In the Daozi Army, you are the captain, and I am the assassin! But in this Loulan Palace, I'm afraid you are the assassin!"

"You, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Wu was suddenly greatly alarmed, he couldn't imagine that his identity had already been discovered!

Princess Loulan continued: "The 100,000 Daozi army is eyeing the frontier, but the commander of the Daozi army and his henchmen are pretending to be traders and infiltrating our Loulan Imperial City, they are definitely not here for sightseeing, I am afraid they are here to assassinate!"

"What!" Jiang Wu broke out in a cold sweat: "You even recognize my brother?"

Princess Loulan nodded slightly: "Presumably, at this time, these bold assassins should all be caught!"

"Damn!" Jiang Wu was anxious and angry, very remorseful: "I shouldn't have let you go in the first place, and I ended up hurting my brother and Han seniors!"

"Even if it weren't for this princess who happened to recognize you, the country would have taken precautions a long time ago! Do you think that among the 100,000 Daozi army, there is no spy planted by my Loulan country!" Princess Loulan smiled: "Now, the situation is reversed, you are the assassin, and I am the torturer." If you want to save your brother and them, you must accede to this princess's request!"

"What request?" Jiang Wu asked hatefully. His palm had quietly pressed on the green sword, waiting for an opportunity to move!

"You stay!" The princess suddenly became a little shy: "Be my colt of Loulan Kingdom." (To be continued.) )
