Chapter Twenty-Three: The Banquet Assassins


When he came to the attic, Ba Fujin looked a little depressed.

It seemed that what happened just now touched his heart.

But Ba Fujin didn't know it yet, so he walked to Ba Fujin's side, held his hand, and asked very gently: " The child didn’t make trouble for you today, right?”

He just smiled slightly, as if he was a little tired: "He was very good today and didn't bother me anymore."

Xueyi, who was standing aside, had already been in a daze, pretending to be calm: "Princess, it's a happy event for Master Jiu today, so I need to drink a few more drinks."

Xueyi came back to his senses, walked up to them and said, "Yes, I came here today to meet you and chat with you."

Seeing that Xueyi was still standing, Master Ba motioned: "Since you want to chat, just sit down.

I won't delay your reminiscing."

Ba Ye looked at Fujin and pulled his hand away from Fujin's.

Fujin and Xueyi just bowed slowly.

Xueyi, who had been absent-minded, looked at the back of Master Ba as he left, and happened to notice Xueyi's move.

However, what could be done?

Xueyi was the one who would eventually marry the prince.

Even if they liked each other, they would always disagree.

There will be opportunities to be together.

Everyone was drinking and talking and laughing in the front yard.

Master Jiu stood up, holding a wine glass, making a toasting gesture, and said: "Brothers and brothers, I will go back to the room first.

You must have a few more drinks here. " Then he drank it all in one gulp, and everyone who sat down understood that the prince said: "Today is a good day for the ninth brother.

If we delay you, it will be our fault."

Master Jiu just smiled, then bowed and left, and the others also bowed and left.

Along the way, Master Jiu kept smiling, half-smiling but not smiling, which was hard to figure out.

I don’t know if it’s because I want to see the bride or something else.

The people at the banquet were still drinking wine happily.

Just when everyone was talking and laughing, suddenly a sword scabbard flew into the middle of the Third Master and the Thirteenth Master.

The Thirteenth Master pushed the Third Master away and caught it. scabbard.

Suddenly a masked female assassin appeared in the middle of the courtyard, walking swiftly and waving her sword in the direction of the Thirteenth Master.

Strangely enough, this female assassin was not hostile to the other princes at all, but just stared at the Thirteenth Prince.

The Third Master refused to let go, and everyone on the field was stunned.

The Tenth Master shouted from the side: "Someone is coming quickly."

Seeing this, Xinghai also jumped forward to fight with Master Thirteen.

The fight in the front yard was so intense that he was afraid of disturbing Ba Fujin, so Ba Ye sent someone to deliver a message to Fujin's room.

When Xiaosi came over, his tone was very breathy: "Let Ba Fu Jin know that there are assassins in the courtyard.

Ba Fu Jin is invited by Ba Ye."

Don’t come out with the princess.”

This was the first time that the assassin encountered such an exciting thing.

Xueyi stood up and asked curiously: "No one has beaten the assassin before."

Xiao Si replied: "Master Thirteen and his entourage are fighting against the assassins."

"What the Thirteenth Master?"

When I heard that the Thirteenth Master was fighting with others, he was an assassin after all.

What if something happened if he was not careful?

No, you have to go and see for yourself.

The Thirteenth Master looked at the assassin with eyes that felt so familiar that he was stunned for a moment.

Before he could react, he was stabbed by the soft-waisted sword in the assassin's arms.

Xueyi, who just arrived, was a little frightened when he saw Master Thirteen was injured, and wanted to run over.

Master Shit pulled Xueyi and said in surprise: "You don't want your life, didn't you see there was an assassin?"

Xueyi was very angry: "Why don't you help?

Didn't you see that Master Thirteen was injured?"

Standing aside, Ba Ye picked up his bow and arrow and aimed at the assassin.

However, since the assassins were fighting, their positions were always moving around, so Ba Ye took a moment to settle.

Luo Xinghai noticed Ba Ye's actions and deliberately threw them.

He took a cup and passed it.

The assassin turned around and stopped.

Ba Ye released a sword and shot the assassin's right hand.

Seeing the opportunity, the guards of the house immediately grabbed the injured assassin and tore off the veil.

It turned out that it was Mo Yan.

The Thirteenth Master was stunned, and so was Luo Xinghai.

Everyone thought only that the assassin had been caught, but no one noticed the expressions of the Thirteenth Master and Luo Xinghai.

Luo Xinghai saw that Thirteenth Master's eyes had never left the assassin, and when he saw Mo Yan's hands full of blood, he knew it would be painful.

Xueyi stood two meters away from Master Thirteen.

Seeing Master Thirteen's expression, Xueyi felt that something had happened.

Looking back at the subdued assassin, I always felt that I felt sorry for that assassin, because Xueyi had never seen anyone injured like this, let alone a girl.

Master Ba ordered: "Take this person down."

Looking at the assassin's leaving figure, tears almost flowed out of the corners of Thirteenth Master's eyes.

The Third Master came over and saw the wound on Thirteenth Master's chest and said, "Go and call the imperial doctor quickly."

Master Thirteen immediately shouted: "No need, I'll just apply some medicine."

The eighth master was a little worried and said: "Thirteenth brother, let's take a look.

It will be bad if the wound worsens."

Thirteenth Master thought: If the imperial doctor knew about it, the emperor would definitely know about it, no.

Seeing Master Thirteen's hesitation, Master Eight would always guess what he was saying and said, "Well, my servant who knows a little about medicine will take a look at it for you."

Master Thirteen relaxed and nodded.

Xinghai and the Third Master helped the Thirteenth Master back.

The Thirteenth Master just glanced at Xueyi and didn't look much, just went back like this.

When the prince standing aside saw this scene, he was naturally very happy.

At this time, Yingqi ran over and stood in front of Master Eight and said coldly: "Master Eight, Master Nine is injured."

Everyone on the field was stunned again.

Everyone was sitting in the lobby, waiting for Yingqi to bring the prisoner.

The atmosphere on the court was very serious.

Although Xueyi was thinking about the Thirteenth Master, after all, the presence of the Crown Prince should not be too obvious.

Remembering the Fourth Master's clear warning, he must be particularly careful in every step of contact with the Thirteenth Master.

With a "bang", I felt someone kneeling down next to me.

Xueyi turned around and saw that it was Li Siniang.

Xueyi was a little confused and stood up.

Everyone looked at Xueyi, but Xueyi completely forgot.

What kind of people are there around me?

Si Niang also noticed it, but pretended not to recognize him.

Master Shi stood up and whispered: "Princess, sit down quickly."

Xueyi looked at all the elder brothers in the court, thinking that it would be bad if he was too impulsive and it would be self-defeating, so he slowly sat down.

The Crown Prince and the Eighth Master sat in front, looking majestic.

Master Ba asked: "Who are you and why do you want to kill Master Jiu?"

Si Niang was stubborn but didn't say a word.

"Just because you don't say anything doesn't mean you'll be fine.

You're still Jiu Di's concubine, so I'll leave you to Jiu Di."

Mr.

Ba looked at Siniang with a very cold expression.

The Fourteenth Master couldn't help but said: "You must not know how powerful the Nine Masters are.

To deal with killers, the Nine Masters will make their lives worse than death.

They will regret coming to this world."

Seeing Master Fourteen say such an inhumane statement, Xueyi was a little frightened.

"If you tell the truth now, I can intercede with Ninth Brother and let you have a good time."

The eighth master tried to give Siniang the last chance to struggle.

But Si Niang still didn't say a word.

The atmosphere on the court was extremely serious, and it seemed that no one could solve it.

The prince looked at the eighth brother: "Eighth brother, since he won't say anything, let's suppress him for now.

It's too late today.

We'll come over to visit the ninth brother tomorrow."

Considering the time, Master Ba said, "That's fine."

He turned to the brothers around him and said, "If you don't mind, you can stay at my place for one night."

The Tenth and Fourteenth Masters next to them naturally stayed.

Xueyi was thinking: If I stay, what will they do to the Fourth Sister?

Will they use cruel torture tools?

Is the Crown Prince thinking wrong again?

Immersed in the dilemma of how to make a choice, the prince had already resigned.

Xueyi stared at Siniang, who kept her head bowed, and had to step out step by step to follow the prince.

On the carriage, Xueyi couldn't figure out why Si Niang was a killer.

She was obviously a weak woman, but she became a prisoner at the mercy of others.

"Why, I'm worried that if Thirteenth Master is really like this, I can order someone to take you back to Eighth Master's house.

Wouldn't it be good to keep him safe?"

Xueyi knew that the prince had upset the jealousy again, so he could only say cautiously: "No, prince, how will we deal with the female assassin today?"

The prince didn't seem to care about his brother's affairs at all.

He would reply indifferently: "The assassin hurt the Qing prince, so he will naturally be executed."

Why is it so easy for the prince to execute someone?

It seems that what is recorded in the history books is that they disregard brotherhood and have no worldly mind.

He softly uttered a few words: "Is there no way to save them?"

The prince stared at Xueyi, looking at the sad look on Xueyi's face, he just shook his head.

In the morning of the next day, Xueyi stayed at the entrance to the palace very early, hiding far away, just wanting to wait for the eighth master and ask about the ninth master's condition.

However, he didn’t expect that it was Master Thirteen who was waiting for him.

Xueyi was a little surprised: Wasn’t Master Thirteen injured?

Why did he still come back?

Just as Xueyi was about to take a step, she found that the Crown Prince had also arrived at the palace gate.

Xueyi stopped and watched the Thirteenth Master and the Crown Prince talking, but did not dare to move forward.

He stepped sideways, preparing to hide, but squinting from the corner of his eyes, he saw Master Ten and Master Fourteen walking to the left.

Just in time, we can meet the Crown Prince and Thirteenth Master on a side trip.

Master Shi was shaking his head and sighing: "I don't know what Brother Ninth and Brother Thirteen have in mind, insisting on letting me two find Princess Xueyi."

"Then please ask Master Shi to take me to Master Ba's house."

Xueyi accepted the words by accident.

The Tenth Master and the Fourteenth Master were a little frightened.

The Tenth Master said angrily: "Princess, you don't have to be so scary."

Xueyi was very anxious, but she still had to pretend to be very calm: "Just ask Master Shi if you can take me out."

"This" Master Shi hesitated.

"You can just follow our sedan out, but you have to aggrieve the princess."

Seeing the arrogant look of the Fourteenth Master, Xueyi knew that something good must have happened, but for the sake of the overall situation, she had no choice but to He nodded firmly.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master were both sitting in sedan chairs, and their men were indeed conducting routine inspections.

Fortunately, the Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master were not subject to strict inspection, and they finally left the palace gate quietly.

After walking for some distance, the Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master sent their men away.

After seeing that they were all gone, the Tenth Master got into the sedan and shouted: "Princess can come out now."

Xueyi staggered out.

Maybe he had been kneeling for too long and his feet were numb.

He accidentally fell on Master Fourteenth.

He thought he would be pushed away directly, but Master Fourteen didn't expect him to help him.

Xueyi stopped and said with a cold face: "I know my feet are numb, why did I do it so quickly when I came out?

Why don't I go back to the sedan chair and sit for a while?"

Xueyi realized that Master Fourteen was actually not that bad, but he was so nervous because of urgent matters, so he resisted: "It's better to go see Master Nine quickly, so as not to worry about waiting."

Maybe he was really anxious, so he forgot about the identities of the Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master, and stepped forward.

Arriving at the eighth master's house, the fourteenth master and the tenth master took Xueyi to the door of the ninth master's house.

The fourteenth master saw that the door was closed tightly and was about to knock on the door with his hand.

Xueyi suddenly opened the door.

Went in.

The Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master felt that they had offended the Nine Masters.

They watched Xueyi find the Jiuye who was resting on the bed.

They just glanced at Xueyi and felt that it was a little too rude.

They were about to say something: "Nineth Brother" "Fourteenth brother, tenth brother, please go out for a moment.

I have something to talk to the princess about."

Master Jiu's always cold tone was a bit creepy.

The Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master just looked at Xueyi, and then silently retreated.

"Jiuye, are you doing this for the sake of that bet?

If so, I will admit defeat."

Xueyi was a little agitated, but very calm.

"It's just a matter of time before you admit that you lost."

Master Jiu smiled.

Xueyi rushed to Master Jiu and looked down at him: "Then what are you going to do before you let Fourth Sister go?"

Master Jiu flicked his clothes with his hands and said breathlessly: "You stand so high, I feel dizzy."

Xueyi saw Jiuye's injured right hand and instinctively moved it just now.

Wasn't it injured?

Xueyi stared at it for two seconds, then leaned forward and grabbed Master Jiu's hand with force.

"Ah."

With the pained expression on Lord Jiu's face and this scream, Xueyi instantly let go of his hands.

Master Jiu stood up immediately and said angrily: "Why are you so cruel?

Do you want to destroy my hand?"

Xueyi seemed to be frightened by the scolding, and saw blood flowing out of Jiuye's lowered right hand.

Xueyi shouted at the door: "Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly."

The Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master broke into the door.

The Tenth Master looked at Xueyi in panic and asked: "Princess Xueyi, what's wrong?"

Xueyi looked at Master Jiu's hands.

Master Fourteenth and Master Ten also noticed Master Jiu's blood following Xueyi's gaze.

Master Fourteen walked over and asked Master Jiu: "Where are the medicine and cloth?"

Master Jiu gestured to the drawer next to him with his eyes.

The whole room fell silent, and Xueyi watched quietly as Master Fourteen changed the dressing for Master Nine.

Watching Master Fourteen slowly pull off Master Jiu's gauze, Master Jiu endured the pain, but the veins on his face were still exposed.

He couldn't lie.

The wound was eight centimeters long and seemed to be very deep, between two and three centimeters.

The wound that had just healed was made even more bloody by Xueyi.

When Xueyi saw this scene, he felt that it was caused by himself.

If he hadn't hurt Jiu Ye by making assumptions, he wouldn't have to let Jiu Ye get hurt again.

Perhaps because he was really sorry, Xueyi left Jiuye's room without saying anything.

The Fourteenth Master and the Ninth Master just looked at it, and the Tenth Master said carelessly: "I'll go see her."

Then he followed her out.

Xueyi came to the middle of the courtyard, looking a little downcast, when he suddenly noticed footsteps on the opposite side.

He looked up and saw that it was Master Thirteen.

Looking at his pale face, it seemed that something big happened.

Thirteenth Master's eyes flickered a little, and he didn't dare to look up at Xue Yi.

Xueyi was thinking: Looking at Master Thirteen like this, could it be that the girl yesterday was Master Thirteen’s real other half?

Maybe it’s time for me to wake up.

Master Ten came to the side and saw Master Eight, Master Thirteen and Luo Xinghai, shouting: "Brother Eight, Brother Thirteen, you are back."

Luo Xinghai shouted: "Tenth Master, princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xueyi strode over and said to Luo Xinghai, "Go and get some light porridge for Master Thirteen, and I'll help him."

Master Thirteen did not refuse, he just let Xueyi support him.

"It's windy here, go back inside and rest."

Xueyi just said this without looking at Master Thirteen.

Looking at Xueyi's haggard face, Master Thirteen couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"I", Thirteenth Master uttered one word, and his voice stopped again.

Xueyi also knew that his emotions might have affected the Thirteenth Master, so he forced out a smile: "I told you it was windy, so let's go inside first."

"Yes."

Thirteenth Master nodded.

Although there was still a weak look on his face, he still tried his best to not look so fragile.

When they came to the room, Xueyi poured tea for the third and thirteenth masters.

The Third Master saw that someone was taking care of the Thirteenth Master, and felt that Xueyi and the Thirteenth Master had something to say.

He felt that it was time for him to leave, so he said to Master Thirteen, who was looking at Xue Yi blankly: "Brother Thirteen, I'm going back to the palace first, and I'll see you another day."

The Thirteenth Master stood up and said, "Third Brother, I will trouble you about the palace affairs."

The Third Master nodded, and Xueyi called to the Third Master: "Third Master, could you please bring Abi'er to your place, so that Fujin will not find out and Abi'er will be punished again."

Third Master nodded and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Xueyi leaned over and watched the third master leave.

After watching the third master leave.

Xueyi sat next to the Thirteenth Master and slowly picked up the tea to drink.

The Thirteenth Master also slowly drank the tea, but there was an unspeakable look on his face.

"Thirteenth Master, I don't understand the truth, but I hope you can help me analyze what happened this time."

Xueyi turned around and looked at Thirteenth Master, his eyes full of helplessness.

Master Thirteen took a long breath and said calmly: "It's time for me to speak for myself."

"I just want to know what Master Jiu is thinking.

I don't want to know about you yet."

Xueyi seemed to have discovered Master Thirteen's inner thoughts and said in a firm tone.

Perhaps Thirteenth Master was afraid of hurting Xueyi, and was a little frightened by Xueyi's sudden tone.

Looking at the stunned Thirteenth Master, Xueyi also knew that he was too tough, so he tilted his head a little, wondering if he had bumped into the dignified prince.

"Brother Ninth did not go to court because he was not feeling well.

He did not want to make the matter a big deal.

I don't know what his specific thoughts were."

Thirteen expressed his thoughts, which was equivalent to exposing himself.

"Do you think so too?"

Xue Yi looked at Master Thirteen Zhengzheng, wanting to know if he had guessed correctly.

Master Thirteen turned his head, holding the tea, without saying anything.

He took a small sip and said: "Miss Li's matter is not difficult to say.

As long as Brother Ninth is willing to let go, everything will be fine."

Xueyi lowered his eyes and looked at the silk handkerchief in his hand, but many thoughts came to his mind: Master Jiu and I are like natural enemies, both in modern times and now.

What's more, I hurt him again just now.

I don't know what he will do.

Don't hold grudges.

"Is it so difficult to ask me for help?"

Before hearing the person, I heard his voice first, and every word revealed arrogance.

Master Jiu walked in slowly, and Luo Xinghai followed him inexplicably.

He was holding light porridge in his hand and looked a little ugly.

He must have told him not to say anything.

Xueyi stood up, looked at Jiuye in front of him, and thought in his mind: implement soft methods.

Xueyi walked over and held Master Jiu's hand: "Master Jiu, let me help you."

Jiuye was a little shocked at first, but then he quickly returned to normal and followed Xueyi's footsteps and sat down.

Seeing that there might be something on the court that he shouldn't hear, Master Thirteen stood up and said, "Brother Ninth, you and the princess chat first while I go out for a walk first."

Xueyi and Jiuye nodded.

After Master Thirteen left, Xueyi immediately said to Master Jiu like a docile little sheep: "Master Jiu, you'd better just tell me what you want, I agree."

Master Jiu asked with some confusion: "You don't care about Thirteenth Brother's injury, you don't care about my injury, but you want to compromise blindly, and ask for help without any rules, do you think it will succeed?"

Xueyi stared at Master Jiu and said with confidence in his eyes: "You just want me to do something for you.

As long as I agree, do you care about the method?"

"Okay.

Since the princess is so forthcoming, I will tell you the truth.

I want you to leave the Thirteenth Master, marry the Crown Prince properly, and be my internal agent."

What the Ninth Master said seemed to be sonorous and forceful, and it didn't seem like he had received it.

It hurts the same people.

But, is this my condition?

It's okay to leave Thirteenth Master.

I just regard Thirteenth Master as an idol, and my liking for him may just be that of a handsome guy.

However, marrying the prince and doing the job of a spy are so difficult.

Not to mention that being a spy can lead to death at any time, even being a princess is no different from death.

Then agree for now, forget about it in the future, and run away when it's time to run away.

"Okay, I agree."

Xueyi's promise was also sonorous and powerful.

Seeing Master Jiu smiling with satisfaction, Xueyi stood up and looked like he wanted to leave quickly, but he couldn't make it too obvious and said: "Nothing happens, I'll leave first."

Xueyi's steps were fast, but he still couldn't escape Jiu Ye's thoughts: "Wait a minute, I signed this written agreement first, why didn't I know that you wouldn't forget it next time?"

Xueyi walked over, picked up the paper, walked to the inkstone inside, and wrote his name hastily on it.

After I finished writing, I threw down the pen and paper and left without saying a word.

In the entire empty room, Master Jiu was the only one who smiled bitterly: "In the entire palace, except Huang Ama, you are the only one who dares to look down on me":
