Chapter 8: Talking at the Window

Because they had just been assassinated, Cui Ming and Wang Yi were not worried about Li Hao leaving, so they left Li Hao in the palace.

But even so, Li Hao can still learn about the outside world through Chen Xi.

"Your Highness, the marquis officials have found Zhu Yiwei's branch in Sudu, including one purple-clothed envoy, three scarlet envoys, and the remaining Zhu Yizhong and Baique have a total of thirty-six people.

After a fierce battle, the two scarlet envoys were killed on the spot, and the purple-clothed envoys who were captured alive also took advantage of the marquis's unpreparedness, bited their fangs and committed suicide by taking poison, and only one scarlet envoy and six white sparrows survived and were taken to the edict.

However, the specific interrogation situation is not known for the time being, or the slave and maid will urge them again."

Li Hao shook his head: "There's no need, today is already the third day, whether there is a result or not, Yan Xu will report it, and he will naturally know when the time comes."

Just as he was saying this, an internal supervisor suddenly came, saying that Yan Xu had entered the palace, and Cui Ming asked Li Hao to go over.

So Li Hao waved to Chen Xi and went to Xingqing Palace.

At this time, Cui Ming and Yan Xu were already there, and when they saw Li Hao arrive, Cui Ming said to Yan Xu, "Say, tell me what I just told you again, and tell the prince again.

This time it was the assassination of the prince, so what to do with you depends on the prince's thoughts."

Yan Xu saluted Li Hao when he heard this, and then began to report to Li Hao, the previous situation was the same as what Chen Xi said, but there was a little more interrogation result.

"According to the confession of the scarlet-clothed envoy who was arrested by the ministers, Ren Xin did not return to the branch after the assassination was completed, and she has been alone in Zhu Yiwei.

Before the mission, they had only been to the branch once, learned about your travels, and then left quickly, so they didn't know Ren Xin's whereabouts.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, Xia Guan also interrogated the other arrested Bai Que and Zhu Yizhong, and verified it several times to be true."

After finishing speaking, Yan Xu stopped and waited for Li Hao to say his handling opinions.

Li Hao is not stupid, Yan Xu was picked up by Cui Ming, and he used it very much, so he was angry and said two heavy words before, where could he give it so easily.

"Father, Lord Yan is shrewd and capable, and he seized Zhu Yiwei's branch in just three days, which can be regarded as a crime.

Moreover, now that I am at odds with Anguo, it is precisely when I need the marquis to inquire about intelligence and contribute to the country, so my son asks my father to deal with it lightly."

With Li Hao's steps, Cui Ming decisively borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "For the sake of the prince's intercession for you, I will not give up your official position, but will be fined for one year."

If anyone is assassinated by Ren Xinxing, there will be no one to plead with you."

After Yan Xu thanked Li Hao and Cui Ming, he left the palace and continued to preside over the arrest of Ren Xin.

Li Hao didn't have anything to do in the palace, so he simply accompanied Cui Ming to play a few games of chess before returning to his dormitory.

On the way, Li Hao told Chen Xi the result, and Chen Xi was also puzzled, and said, "This is strange, recently the Hou Guan has turned the capital upside down for this assassination.

Ren Xin didn't contact Zhu Yiwei, so where can he hide, could it be related to those families, after all, Hou Guan didn't go to those ones to check."

Li Hao shook his head: "Don't think nonsense, the current situation is not urgent enough to use assassination, and if you want to mobilize Ren Xin, you have to hook up with Emperor An."

Among the Hou Guan and Jinyi Guards, there is no report related to this, and I don't think that their ability is of this level."

Chen Xi thought about it and said, "Then where is this Ren Xin, the city gate has been heavily guarded in the past few days, could it be that she grew wings and flew out, or was there something missed by the Hou Guan."

Hearing this, Li Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Maybe there is really a place that has been missed, Ren Xin is good enough to play in the dark under this lamp."

Chen Xi asked, "Your Highness, what did you think of?"

Li Hao smiled and said, "East Palace, Ren Xin should be hiding in the East Palace now."

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and replied, "No, since your assassination, there has always been a ban outside the East Palace

The army patrols, plus the guards of the East Palace, she is so bold."

Li Hao explained: "Sometimes, the more dangerous the place, the safer, the probability of the East Palace being searched is very low, and you also said that you are patrolling outside.

The guards of the East Palace were half taken away by Lone, and the rest of the people had to continue to inspect the entire East Palace, and Lone was not there, so they would inevitably be slack.

Now that she thinks about it, she deliberately assassinated outside the East Palace, which should have the meaning of fishing in troubled waters, because she knows very well that as long as the news of Lone's assassination comes out, there will inevitably be chaos in the East Palace.

In this way, even if you miss, as long as you run away in other directions in front of everyone, you can attract everyone's attention, and it will be easier to turn around and sneak into the East Palace.

This will allow you to recuperate safely, and you will be able to continue your mission."

Chen Xi still attached great importance to Li Hao's safety, and immediately said, "The slave maid immediately sent an order to let the guards outside the palace return to the East Palace and investigate thoroughly."

was only stopped by Li Hao: "No, just keep it like now, this time I want to go and meet her in person for a while."

"Your Highness, this is not good, your safety must be the most important thing."

Facing Chen Xi's worries, Li Hao said: "Okay, how is Lone's martial arts, you still don't know, just because Ren Xin can't hurt Lone, besides, isn't there still you, then Lone will let you be by your side."

Chen Xi wanted to persuade him more, but Li Hao didn't want to hear it.

After staying in the palace for two more days, Li Hao went to Wang Yi to say goodbye and prepare to go back to the East Palace.

Wang Yi was a little worried about this, and said, "The assassins haven't been caught yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave, stay in the palace for a few more days."

Li Hao comforted: "Queen Mother, Erchen is no longer a child, and it is not appropriate to stay in the palace for a long time, and the marquis has searched the capital for such a long time, but he has not found anyone.

Thinking about it, this Ren Xin should have found some loopholes, he has already gone out of the city, and there will be no danger in the East Palace."

As he spoke, Li Hao called his sister Cui Shu over and interrupted Wang Yi's words to continue persuading.

made her helpless and said, "If I knew this, I should have let you out of the palace two years later."

Wang Yi said that it was okay, and Cui Ming would be even more fine, so Li Hao quickly returned to the East Palace with the guards.

However, although Li Hao had a guess, with Ren Xin's shrewdness, it was still a little difficult to find her quietly.

So Li Hao thought about inviting Jun into the urn and using himself as bait to let Ren Xin take the bait.

So in the evening patrol arrangement, Li Hao asked Chen Xi to say hello, and the guards around the bedroom were far away, creating an opportunity for Ren Xin to start.

Of course, Ren Xin is not so easy to take the bait, she has already infiltrated the East Palace a few days ago, hiding in a warehouse in the palace during the day that no one will go to, and secretly going out to find something to eat at night, and learn about the situation in the East Palace.

Therefore, I also have a grasp of the patrol route, and when I noticed a change in the patrol route on the first day, I already had a bad premonition in my heart, and I felt that I was not discovered.

It's just that the next two days were like this, and when she was sure that there was really no ambush outside Li Hao's bedroom, she felt a little lucky in her heart.

Coupled with her confidence in her own martial arts, she thought that with the current distance, as long as she could get a quick shot, she could retreat before the guards reacted.

After all, she and Li Hao really only fought one move before, and she didn't have a detailed understanding of Li Hao's martial arts.

However, in her opinion, Li Hao, the prince who has been pampered since childhood, and Zhu Yiwei's report does not have a description of Li Hao's martial arts, so she thinks that Li Hao cannot have strong martial arts.

On the night of the fourth day, Ren Xin finally started to act, and he arrived at the door of the dormitory smoothly.

Quickly opened the latch with a knife, opened a gap to enter, and quickly closed the door.

The whole process went smoothly, and the door was dragged by hand in the middle without making a sound.

Then she slowly walked to the back room, and through the faint moonlight shining through the window, she saw that there was indeed a figure lying on the bed

, and shot a flying needle in the head.

It was just this time that she realized that something was wrong, she was too familiar with what it was like for a silver needle to fly into her head, and it was not a real person on this bed.

I immediately wanted to jump out of the window, but it was too late by this time.

Because before she could exert her strength, she already felt a strong palm force coming towards her head, forcing her to have no time to make other movements, so she could only make a hard connection with both palms, and the result was that she was knocked back four steps by a palm.

When she wanted to fight back again, she found that her internal force was no longer pressing.

At this time, the lights in the room were lit, allowing her to see the person who had just made a move, Li Hao, who had never been looked at by her.

"Don't struggle, there is a secret Sangong Scatter in my palm just now, even if it is your Zhu Yiwei's Ten Thousand Poison Solution, it may not be able to solve it.

And there's a lone here, and you won't have a chance to eat, so you might as well sit down and let's talk."

Ren Xin sneered and said, "The dignified prince of Suguo actually used such a despicable means as poisoning, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"

Li Hao was not angry, he sat on the chair and began to fiddle with the tea set, and replied by the way: "When it comes to poisoning, Lone is not comparable to you Zhu Yiwei, and besides, if you become a king or defeat Kou, the means are only secondary, so it is useless for you to provoke Lonely.

In addition, can you take off this human skin mask on your face, how rude it is to talk to Gu with such a hidden head."

Ren Xin was shocked, her human skin mask craftsmanship was excellent, she didn't believe that Li Hao could see it in such dim light.

Unless Li Hao knew her appearance before, he tentatively said, "What kind of human skin mask, this is my true appearance."

Li Hao didn't refute, but said, "You either pick it yourself, or you can pick it for you alone, I'll count three times, if you don't choose Lonely, you will be asked to do it by default."

Ren Xin was sure when he got here, so he stopped twisting and directly tore off the human skin mask.

Sure enough, this heroic and delicate face is comfortable to look at.

"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, who look at the city and the country.

Miss Ren's appearance and temperament, it is a pity to be an assassin, it is better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, and forgive you for all your previous sins."

Li Hao's sudden change in words made Ren Xin a little embarrassed, as if he didn't understand what Li Hao was thinking in his head.

Li Hao didn't care, and after pouring himself a cup of tea, he poured another cup for Ren Ruyi and motioned for her to sit down.

"Lone has already asked people to guard outside, and there will be no guards coming, so the girl can rest assured."

But seeing that Ren Xin hadn't moved yet, she thought that she was afraid that she would be poisoned, so she simply took a sip first.

Ren Xin couldn't understand Li Hao, but now she was a knife warrior, and she chose to come and sit down obediently for fish and meat.

After she drank the tea, Li Hao asked again, "What does Miss Ren think of Gu Gang's proposal, in my place, it is much better than the days when Zhu Yiwei licked blood from the knife.

As for Zhu Yiwei's means of controlling people, presumably Miss Ren shouldn't take it seriously."

Ren Xin opened his mouth at this time and asked, "I assassinated you just now, don't you care at all?"

Li Hao said with a smile: "You didn't succeed in the assassination, and you checked the people in the mansion in the past two days, whether you are afraid of being exposed, or you have good intentions, you finally didn't do anything to the people in the mansion.

It is precisely because of this that this is the treatment that today's girls are treated, otherwise Lone would not be so polite."

Ren Xin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then replied: "I still have something to do in Anguo, and I can't betray Zhu Yiwei, but if you let me go this time, I can promise to help you two."

Li Hao nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, then you swear that you can't assassinate the royal family of Suguo again, and as for the other favor, I'll tell you when I think of it next time."

It's just that empty mouths and white teeth are of no avail, so I swear by the life of Empress Anguo, and I remember that she should have a good relationship with you."

Seeing Ren Xin's face change, Li Hao continued, "Don't be so angry, Lonely

It's just for you to swear, unless you're not prepared to keep it at all."

Ren Xin said, "Zhu Yiwei acted under the orders of His Majesty, and I can't guarantee what you said."

Li Hao didn't care, and said, "What's this, if there is such an instruction again, you can come directly to Gu, and let Lone accompany you to play a play."

And now that Su Guo has set up troops on the border, I think that as long as Emperor An is not confused, this kind of thing will not happen again in a short time."

Ren Xin thought about it, but finally agreed, raised his hand and swore an oath: "I, Ren Xin, hereby swear, that I will never assassinate anyone in the royal family of Suguo again, and the violator will live forever."

After speaking, he said to Li Hao, "Now you are satisfied."

Li Hao smiled: "It's okay, and this is obviously a lonely thing, why are you so angry."

After saying that, he handed out the antidote, and said, "After recovering your internal strength, just go out through the west gate, where there will be no guards for half an hour.

In addition, the guards at the city gate have been relaxed, so you should have a way to get out of the city without Lone's help."

Ren Xin did not hesitate this time, decisively took the antidote, and began to exercise.

Sensing that his internal strength had recovered, Ren Xin planned to leave, but before leaving, he asked, "You really let me go like this."

Li Hao smiled: "Of course, Lone has always been pitiful and cherished, and he also speaks, but Lone thinks that we should still meet, and at that time, our identities will change."

Ren Xin chuckled, didn't take this matter to heart, and left here directly.
