Du Tingyun left in anger, and soon he fished the three men out of the water and onto the shore.
After soaking in the water for too long, the men seemed to be infected with the wind and cold. They sneezed and had runny noses as soon as they came ashore.
Du Tingyun called for a military doctor to take a quick look at them, and then brought them back to Liu Shengsheng.
"I have already warned them. Once they return to the city, they will go see the person who gave them the reward, and my people will try their best to catch the mastermind behind it in the dark, whether they are from the city lord's palace or not. , I will try my best to give an explanation to Shengsheng. I only hope that after this incident, Shengsheng can follow her brother in peace."
Liu Shengsheng smiled softly, "Thank you, brother, you are so kind."
Even though he was praised, Du Tingyun didn't look very happy. He just let the three men out with a heavy heart.
Then he also changed his clothes and got into the carriage.
Bai Cang had been following him. Probably seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Your Highness, are you sure you don't want to bring more people back?"
"Just to see the truth, you don't need to bring too many people."
Bai Cang sighed, "Having said that, it is obvious that the city lord who returned to the city cannot do such a thing. He has no enmity with Liu Shengsheng, so how could he assassinate her? Besides, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there are thousands of troops around her. Ma, and with His Highness the Crown Prince by my side, even if I gave that city lord a thousand courages, he wouldn’t dare to do that kind of thing..."
"Don't you understand that I am the prince?"
Du Tingyun said coldly: "She sent Yichen to rescue a villager, but Yichen was hunted down by people in the world. You don't need to think about it to know that the villager offended some people in the world, so he was hunted down. He was kidnapped, but Na Yichen ran over to save them without incident, and only made them angry, so he was hunted down by them."
"Shengsheng is too defensive. She just feels that her own people have been harmed and wants to seek justice for her. That's why she said that the assassin came for her, because then everyone has to pay attention..."
Having said this, Du Tingyun continued helplessly: "That's all, let her go. Once we get her to the capital, we can have a good rest."
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince knows that she is doing this for a follower, why do you still follow her? Let's just say that those killers in the world are neither good at martial arts nor fast. They only have so few people. They don't have any skills, and they even have very few minds. No matter what happens, the city lord will never send someone like that to assassinate Liu Shengsheng. You don’t even expose such an obvious lie. You really dote on her too much."
As soon as Bai Cang finished speaking, Liu Shengsheng's voice came from behind again.
"Brother, why don't you bring more people with you? You are the prince, and you only bring a few people back to the city. What should you do if you encounter danger?"
Du Tingyun opened the car curtain, looked outside and said, "This is not very far from the city. There is no need to bring too many people. After all, we will be back in a while."
Liu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows and followed Nan Muze into another carriage without saying anything else.
The two carriages left there one after another. Although Du Tingyun didn't bring too many people, Liu Shengsheng deliberately brought a few hundred people, ignoring Du Tingyun's helpless look. She didn't seem to want to be too busy at all. Low profile.
When we returned to the city, it was still lively.
They returned to the busiest restaurant and sat on the carriage. In addition, there were many fewer officers and soldiers brought with them, so not many people knew that they were back. Only some people near the restaurant looked at them a few more times. .
As soon as he returned to the restaurant, a secret guard appeared in front of Du Tingyun.
"Your Highness, the three people entered a garden and said that after the incident was completed, the person behind them would give them the remaining rewards there, but until now, the person behind them had not appeared."
Du Tingyun waved his hand, and the secret guard retreated.
He said seriously: "Perhaps those people in the world have noticed something, and they probably won't come..."
"How can you know if you don't go and see?"
Liu Shengsheng blinked her eyes and said, "I know, brother
Qinggong is very good, why not go with the secret guards to check it out..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Cang, who had been standing next to him, finally couldn't help but said: "It's already gone too far to make such a fuss over a follower, and now you want our Crown Prince to do such sneaky things with the secret guards? Your Royal Highness, no matter how willful you are, you must have some restraint!"
Liu Shengsheng frowned.
Just as he was about to speak, Du Tingyun slapped Bai Cang on the face, "Do you have the right to speak?"
Bai Cang was startled, then lowered his head...
Liu Shengsheng's brows relaxed a little, "That's true. After all, the eldest brother is the prince, and it's not convenient for him to do that kind of thing. So it's better for me and my husband to go and see what's going on."
After saying that, she took Nan Muze upstairs to change into casual clothes, covered her face with a black gauze, then followed a secret guard, used Qing Kung Fu to climb over the rooftops, and soon appeared in the garden. beside.
At this moment, many secret guards have gathered nearby, almost all of them are here to capture the so-called person behind the scenes.
The three men who were released have been waiting in the garden for a long time. It can be seen that their expressions are also very nervous. Even if they did not wait for anyone to come, they would not stop sweating.
Suddenly, Du Tingyun's voice came from behind them.
"Shengsheng, you guys..."
"Shh..."
Liu Shengsheng put her finger to her lips, turned around and gave him a silent look.
There was no trace of surprise in that look, as if he had already expected that he would follow...
Du Tingyun was convinced and squatted down slowly, "It's already evening, and those people haven't come yet, so they probably won't come..."
It seemed that he wanted to persuade her to go back.
It was helpless to say that Du Tingyun persuaded her to go back in nine out of ten sentences.
The remaining sentence was to urge her to leave immediately.
I really don’t know how much this guy misses the capital...
While he was melancholy, a man dressed in black finally appeared at the other end of the garden.
The man's face was also covered with gauze, and he looked left and right all the way. It took him a long time to finally reach the three people.
"Why are you the only ones left? Aren't there dozens of people gone?"
Those three people looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally the man in the middle opened his mouth.
"Who did you ask us to assassinate? His martial arts skills are so high that he killed many of our brothers at the gate of the city. If it weren't for your dirty money, we wouldn't have chased him out of the city!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the other two responded: "That's right, my brothers suffered heavy casualties in the pursuit, and you have to pay for all of this!"
"We have killed the two men you mentioned, but that road is a highway after all, and people come and go at dawn. We were afraid that someone would report it to the police after seeing it, so we conveniently killed those two men. He was buried, and he only waited until now to come back. You have to give us the money for this kind of hard work..."
