Chapter 34: The Assassins


A breeze blew, and the branches shook a few times, blowing down a few crumbling begonias and landing on the heads of the people under the trees.

Jiang Xixi took down the petals of flowers, and used a comb to straighten out the messy black hair, which made them into a beautiful bun.

She turned him around, "I'll see, well, it looks a lot fresher, much better than just now." ” Qin Yingbao looked at her with some concern, "Will Xiaoyu like it?"

” Jiang Xixi smiled at him and comforted the child, "Of course, who doesn't like clean people." ” He breathed a sigh of relief, a long-lost smile crept up on his cheeks, and then looked up at Jiang Xixi again, "Where did Xiaoyu go?"

I want her to see me. ” Jiang Xixi was about to answer, but saw a figure passing by outside the courtyard gate, so he picked up the bowl on the stone table, handed it to Qin Yingbao, and whispered to him, "Xiaoyu said, if you finish the medicine obediently, she will accompany you."

Seeing him gobbling up the medicine, she raised her head again and amplified the volume, "It really works, and if you apply a few more injections at night, this disease will probably be cured." ” Qin Yingbao finished drinking the medicine and put the bowl on the table, he wiped his mouth, his eyes were full of anticipation, "Can I go to Xiaoyu now?"

” "You wait for me here, I'll call her."

Jiang Xixi smiled at him, picked up the bowl and walked out of the courtyard.

Qin Yingbao sat on the stone bench and touched the top of her head with both hands: Yes, she will like it if she is so regular, these days, she is always expressionless, not smiling or angry, he doesn't like her like this, there are no ups and downs, no fluctuations, she used to be so spiritual, and all the birds were learned vividly" "Chirp Chirp" There were a few bird calls from the canopy, Qin Yingbao looked up and saw the sunlight falling through the gaps in the leaves, which made him a little dazzled.

One of the beams of light was particularly bright, shining white, and fell straight above his head.

What is it?

Knives?

"Huh."

His hair was in a mess, and his hair fell back to his shoulders, a large patch of black, and in addition to that, red blood, which fell down his forehead and dripped on his inky robe.

Qin Yingbao got up anxiously, he stomped his foot, "You messed up my hair, Xiaoyu will be unhappy when you see it." ” The man opposite didn't speak, the knife in his hand shook a few times, and finally fell to the ground with a "clang", he trembled his lips, and glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, "A good man spares his life, I have no grievances with him, and I just do it according to orders." ” Jiang Xixi's voice came from behind, and the long sword in his hand was pressed against his back, "According to the order?

By whose order?

” Standing in front of the palace, Jiang Xi looked at the opposite side on tiptoe, "My lord, you see, although this place is far away from the Han family, the two mansions are on high ground, and at a glance, what you see is Han Zhiyuan's mansion." ” Cheng Muyou nodded, "Wang Jixun should have been jealous for a long time when he saw Han Zhiyuan's extravagant life, although his official position is high, his financial resources are far inferior to the Han family, perhaps, this is what prompted him to start."

After speaking, he glanced at Shi Jin and ordered him to go and call the door.

Shi Jingang walked over, two doors inlaid with gold nails suddenly opened from the inside, Wang Jixun was wearing a red robe, standing in the middle of the Zhu Gate, seeing Cheng Muyou, he laughed, wrinkles squeezed out the horizontal flesh on his face, adding a bit of fierceness to his appearance, "Yo, isn't this Lord Cheng, what kind of wind blew you here, please come in, please come in." ” Even though the dark tide in his heart was turbulent, Cheng Muyou still remained calm, "Lord Wang, what, you seem to know that I am coming over today." ” Wang Jixun was still laughing, leaning back and forth with a smile, "I was in the house just now, and suddenly saw the red glow steaming outside, and I knew that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door, so I hurriedly greeted him in person," After saying this, he seemed to be so laughable that he couldn't stand still, and he held the old slave beside him, and barely stood up straight, "Joke joke, my house, the queen has been here five times, Lord Cheng, you don't think I really went out to meet you in person." ” Jiang Xixi knew that he had something to say, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was a little confused, Queen Mother?

Why did she come to the palace?

Could it be that this Wang Jixun has anything to do with the royal family?

Cheng Muyou was not annoyed, "That can only be said to be a coincidence, Lord Wang, I came to you but have something important, I don't know whether to stand here and say yes, or go in and say it's better." ” Seeing that he was calm and steady, Wang Jixun finally put away his smile, picked the corner of his mouth arrogantly, and waved his hand inward, "Master Cheng, please come in." ” Walking into the front hall, Cheng Muyou didn't talk nonsense, and ordered the officials behind him to escort a thin man to Wang Jixun, "He was going to assassinate Qin Yingbao today, but he was stopped by my people, according to him, it was at the instigation of Lord Wang that Qin Yingbao was put to death, and the reason was the case of the Han Mansion destroying the door nine years ago." ” Speaking of this, he glanced at the man, and the man immediately knelt down, "On the night of Qingming nine years ago, Lord Wang ordered us to kill all the more than 200 members of the Han family, and the corpses were put into an iron cage and thrown into the canal, Qin Yingbao knew about it, so today he sent me to kill people and kill people."

After saying that, he didn't dare to look up, and hid his head deep in the crook of his arm.

However, after he had said such a shocking thing, the room fell into a strange silence, and the air seemed to freeze, no longer flowing, and there was no temperature.

Cheng Muyou looked at Wang Jixun, and his heart suddenly cooled: he was smiling, shallow, faint, so relaxed, as if he didn't take this shocking secret to heart at all.

Why?

Although he is in a high position, such a tragedy, even if he grows ten heads, it is not enough to cut off, how can he be so calm, as if what the man said has nothing to do with him.

Jiang Xixi couldn't figure it out, she thought that with Wang Jixun's character, he was like thunder, he didn't admit his guilt, and even resisted to the death was the expected result, but he didn't deny it, but looked at the man quietly, with a mysterious smile on his face.

When he was puzzled, he caught a glimpse of a red, crimson from the corner of his eye, quietly flowing out from under the man, extending to his feet, and slowly flowing along the edge of his shoes.

She gasped and was about to speak, but the man suddenly stood up on the ground, turned his head to look at the door, he called out twice, his index finger straightened, and pointed to the door with all his might, "You, it's you." ” The body fell to the ground with a bang, and the splashes of blood burst into the faces of the people around him, and his eyeballs moved a few times, and the brilliance receded in an instant.

"My lord, his heart has been pierced."

Shi Jin's panicked voice seemed to float from a distant place and reached the ears of everyone present.
