Chapter 11: The First Mission World (10)
Just as he was pondering, a bunch of assassins suddenly came out of all directions.
Shen Qingmo was not a person who would carry a sword at any time, he took Qu Lingkite in his arms well, and waited for the result of the confrontation between the dark guard and the assassin without nervousness.
The secret guard raised by the regent is not a vegetarian, and he was with Cui Yue before, because the secret guard was broken up by the cave room by candle night, and it was only when the assassin succeeded.
Obviously, Liu Huiyin knew this, and the assassins in this operation were more than twice as many as when they dealt with Cui Yue last time, but the well-trained secret guards on weekdays did not fall behind at all at this moment.
Moreover, Qu Ling Kite is also a person with a secret guard...
Looking at the secret guard who came out of nowhere, she herself was stunned.
"I... I didn't even think I had a secret guard. Qu Ling kite sneered at Yiling.
“... The Empress Dowager loves her daughter so much, can she arrange a secret guard for you?" Yi Ling looked like an idiot.
For some reason, there were a lot of assassins this time, but the quality was too poor, and four of them were quickly captured alive and taken to the dungeon to be tortured and interrogated.
"Iris, I'm not scared, will this king send you back first?" Shen Qingmo stared at Qu Lingyuan and looked at it carefully, and saw that she was not abnormal, so he relieved himself.
"Let's go together," Qu Lingyuan shook her head and didn't agree, who knows if Liu Huiyin has any other preparations, in case there is something wrong with these assassins, how can she know how to solve it if she is not present.
Shen Qingmo wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but looking at Qu Lingyuan's concerned eyes, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
The two of them went to the place where the assassins were imprisoned together, and the torture used by the palace guards just made Qu Lingyuan's scalp tingle, how could these assassins keep secrets so much?
After only a few moments, the assassin began to look in the direction of Qu Ling, and she was puzzled, ready to wait and see.
Sure enough, after a minute of torture, one of the Assassins shouted: "Your Highness, eldest princess, save the minions!
At this time, the other Assassins also shouted, begging Qu Lingkite to save them.
Shen Qingmo remembered Cui Yue's incident before, his face instantly gloomy, ready to see Qu Lingyuan's performance, he still retained enough trust in his heart, and reason told him that Qu Lingyuan had no reason to assassinate him.
Qu Lingyuan sneered and walked a few steps closer to the assassins, Liu Huiyin is still a bit brainy, if these assassins insist that Qu Lingyuan is the mastermind behind the scenes, even if she doesn't admit it, even if Shen Qingmo doesn't believe it, this matter will cause a gap between the two.
However, Qu Ling's health is not good and he has never gone out, and there are very few people who have seen the eldest princess, and there are no portraits in circulation, so these assassins must know what the eldest princess looks like?
"Are you sure I personally told you about the assassination of the regent?" Qu Lingkite began to trick the assassin.
The assassin nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Your Highness the eldest princess, save the minions." ”
Qu Lingyuan tore off a smiling expression: "That's a pity, don't you know? Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she had an accident when she was a child, and was brought back to the palace by the empress dowager, so she had a disfigured knife wound on her face... Look, am I like?"
Hearing this, the Assassin was dumbfounded, stammering and unable to speak, for it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
The Assassins only guessed based on the information provided by Yoo Hye-in that it was the eldest princess who was following the regent, but no one had ever seen her, so no one dared to assert that their guess was correct.
The reaction of the four assassins looking at each other was seen by everyone, and the lie was immediately exposed, and Qu Lingyuan turned around and walked back to Shen Qingmo with satisfaction.
This little trick also wants to frame her? It's not too late for a few more years~
"Yiling, how can these assassins be so obedient, they are not the dead soldiers raised by Liu Huiyin. ”
The Assassin Order would not take on mortal missions, they would ask their employers for reassurance before taking on the mission, if their lives were threatened, it was the employer's information was not true, and they had the right to betray their employers, so Qu Lingyuan found things strange.
"These are people who have been poisoned or injured and are dying, and the Assassin Order has a special team of such people, and employers will give their families a large sum of money to buy their lives and let them do mortal missions. "Yiling is very shameful about this kind of disregard for human life.
"Co-author Liu Huiyin is quite rich, isn't it?" Qu Lingyuan brushed away the hair on her chest and began to brew a drama again.
She turned around and grabbed Shen Qingmo's sleeve, and her menacing appearance just now instantly became tearful: "Kite has always been kind to people, and she doesn't interact with people on weekdays, let alone make enemies with people, why would anyone want to frame Kite Er." ”
Shen Qingmo could also see that Qu Ling's little appearance was pretending, he understood that this girl was not a timid person who could be scared casually, so she took the person into her arms with a funny and distressed heart, and comforted her softly: "Be good, Iris's not sad, this king will definitely arrest this person and cut it with a thousand knives." ”
However, what Qu Lingyin just said was true, and after saying this, Shen Qingmo also vaguely guessed that the assassin's behind-the-scenes command was Liu Huiyin, thinking of the accident in the garden in September half a month ago, Liu Huiyin still vividly remembered Qu Ling's appearance for no reason.
In addition, who has had contact with Qu Lingyuan? I'm afraid it's gone, this girl has been kept in captivity in the palace by the Queen Mother for half a month.
Perhaps, even Cui Yue's matter is Liu Huiyin's ghost...
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Qu Ling Kite stopped pretending, patted Shen Qingmo, who was still thinking about life, and said, "Let's go, Kite is a little tired..."
