Chapter 22: The Assassin
[]
In the inner courtyard of Taohuawu Fort.
Sima Lan's room.
The candles are lit brightly, and the figures are in pairs.
Sima Ge stood respectfully in front of his young lady and reported the situation in the pine forest: "Miss, the female leader of the killer is as beautiful as a flower, at least a second-rate martial artist, but the neck bone that was twisted by someone with great force is not blind!"
"Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, it was Prince Huang who fought to the death with her!"
"As a result, the prince of the wilderness lived, and the female killer died!"
Sima Lanxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly: "It was the prince who killed the female killer?"
Sima Ge wasn't sure: "It should be!"
"Should?"
"Yes!"
Sima Ge was a little uncertain: "There was no trace of the third person at the scene, so it should have been killed by Prince Huang." β
"However, the strange thing is that the Prince of Desolation obviously doesn't have the true qi of the inner family in his body, how can he kill a second-rate martial arts powerhouse?"
"Or by twisting your neck!"
Sima Lan thought for a while, and her brows furrowed: "Perhaps, a third person appeared there, but there was no trace. β
"It should be this third person who killed the black-clothed killer!"
Sima Ge was slightly stunned: "Miss Gaojian!"
"It's entirely possible!"
"However, a master who can leave no trace on the snow must reach the Grandmaster level!"
Sima Lan said inscrutablely: "Not necessarily!"
"There are many strange people in the people, and it is possible to practice the light skills of stepping on the snow without a trace. β
Sima Ge nodded: "It's possible!"
Suddenly.
Sima Lan frowned again, and more questions surged in her heart: "The prince knows that the female killer in black is stronger than him, why should he follow?"
Sima Ge shook his head!
"Why isn't the prince afraid of her?"
Sima Ge continued to shake his head.
"Who is the third party who appears?"
"Could it be that the prince still has a protector in secret?"
Sima Ge was a little dizzy when asked: "Miss, you go and ask him!"
"I don't know!"
"Poof"
Sima Lan couldn't help but laugh and smiled: "Xiao Ge is right, these things, instead of guessing here, it's better to ask him for an answer." β
"But"
A flash of wisdom flashed in Sima Lanmei's eyes: "There are some things, if he wants to tell me, don't ask." β
"If he doesn't want to tell me, it's useless to ask!"
"I can afford to wait for my fiancΓ©, it's getting more and more interesting!"
Not far away.
A room in the inner courtyard of the dock fort has been used as a storehouse for temporary trophies.
Summer stands inside the house, supervising Xiaobai, Gao Fei and Lu Shu to count the loot.
In this battle, the guard battalion was not damaged at all, and killed all the hundreds of black-clothed killers who came to attack, and gained a lot:
1,000 taels of golden tickets were seized.
Thirty thousand taels of silver tickets.
100 long swords, 100 horizontal knives, and 10 pieces of soft armor.
Xiao Bai was a little excited: "Lord Wang, these black-clothed killers are really fortune boys!"
"Perhaps, they knew that the prince's rewards had been exchanged for supplies, and they happened to be short of silver, so they sent it here!"
"Hahaha"
Gao Fei laughed out loud and bowed: "Lord Wang, in fact, the most valuable thing is the hundred war horses!"
"That's the best sweat and blood BMW in the Sky Wolf Army!"
"In Great Xia, such a war horse can be sold for a thousand taels of silver, and it is still priceless!"
Xiao Bai pinched his fingers, and his eyes lit up: "Then these hundred war horses can be sold for 100,000 taels of silver?"
"Of course!"
Lu Shu nodded seriously: "On the black market, this price will be doubled!"
Xiaobai couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Lord Wang, we are really rich!"
Lu Shu's eyelids raised: "Lord Wang, the only one who can get so much sweat and blood is the prince!"
"Hehehehe"
Xia smiled faintly and stopped Lu Shu from saying: "Manager Bai, this is just a small windfall, it's better than nothing!"
"The Great Wilderness State is a poor and white place, and if you want to build it into a happy land, you need astronomical amounts of money and resources. β
"You have to be prepared!"
Xiao Bai's face was solemn: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I will definitely use every copper plate on the blade according to your instructions!"
Beside.
Gao Fei didn't frown, and muttered to himself: "The prince is right, we still need to make money!"
That's when it happened.
The old ghost's voice sounded at the door: "Lord Wang, Chief Bai, Commander Lu, Commander Gao, the little one has an immature idea, I don't know if to talk about it?"
"Hehehehe"
Summer couldn't help but wonder: "Old ghost, they all came here to speak, so let's talk happily!"
"Hey, hey, hey"
The old ghost is still lying on a simple stretcher, and he was carried over by four wounded soldiers: "Lord Wang, my father is a bandit, and my mother is also a bandit, so I have lived in a bandit village since I was born. β
"It's just that my parents are different from ordinary bandits, they only loot ill-gotten gains, and generally don't kill people. β
"Later, there were fewer and fewer bullies around the cottage, and there were fewer and fewer targets that our cottage could grab!"
"There is no way[]
