Yichen said blankly: "What's going on here, girl?"
"It's just a trivial matter. The county magistrate here slandered me as a witch and made me extremely scary. He also used this as an excuse to force the people in the county not to go out. It makes people laugh."
Listening to Liu Shengsheng's words, Yichen instantly became serious, "Isn't this disgusting? Du Qianyi must be behind it again! She knew that the girl was going back to Beijing, and she must have been very scared, so she spread rumors all over the country. , I guess I want to defeat you through rumors, it’s really despicable!”
"Whether it's her or not, the county magistrate must be taught a lesson." Liu Shengsheng said nonchalantly.
Yichen nodded and said earnestly: "I feel like since I deceived you back to Liguo, girl, the true face of that prince has gradually been revealed. When he was in Fengqing before, he was quite helpful in speaking up for the girl, but now, from time to time, I feel that his heart is towards others..."
"For example, the city lord who returned to the city before, he didn't kill him in the end, and then to the Abandoned Infant Tower at the back, I feel like he was extremely helpless before he chose to help you. Then there is the person from this county, he clearly knows that the girl will pass by here , I didn’t educate the people here properly, I didn’t mean to help the girl at all, and I still talk so beautifully every day, it’s really hypocritical.”
Liu Shengsheng just smiled and said, "His heart has always been towards others. The so-called he helped me before was just because in Fengqing, no matter how he looked towards me, he could not affect his younger brothers and sisters. But now It's different now. I've come to Liguo. Every word and deed I say, including every word he says, may easily affect his younger brothers and sisters, so he will naturally become a little more serious."
"Can……"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Didn't you say something happened?"
Liu Shengsheng interrupted him.
Yichen seemed to have finally remembered something and said quickly: "There is indeed a situation. The follower who has been following us is really a woman, but she is not here for us, but for the prince!"
Liu Shengsheng's expression was calm, as if she had expected it.
Nan Muze asked calmly: "What's the specific situation?"
Yichen said seriously: "The specific situation is that not long after you two came out, the prince wanted to find you. Then I said a few words and thought he would not come out later. Who knew that he would accidentally come out again? He slipped out and brought a few people with him, saying he was coming to find you."
"I guess his original intention was to let you go back as soon as possible, but as soon as he left the crowd, he was assassinated. However, this time there was only one person who assassinated him, and she was a woman!"
"Although the woman's martial arts skills were pretty good, she was still easily caught by his people. However, they didn't interrogate her. After catching her, she was about to drag her down and behead her. I was able to stop her. , but I guess I won’t be able to stop you for long, so I want to ask you to go back as soon as possible.”
Hearing these words, a flash of disappointment flashed in Nan Muze's eyes, "Assassinating the prince single-handedly is a fool's errand. He is not a powerful person."
Liu Shengsheng nodded, "It seems that he is just an ordinary person, there is nothing to know about him."
Yichen said seriously: "But girl, I think that girl is pretty good-looking. She is probably the person Du Qianyi has offended. Otherwise, why would a little girl assassinate the prince when she is so good?"
Liu Shengsheng smiled and said, "How can you be sure that the person who assassinated the prince had a grudge against Du Qianyi?"
"Just, you guessed it. After all, the prince is so stupid that he doesn't seem to be able to recruit a little girl..."
Liu Shengsheng was silent, "It does make sense, let's go."
While talking, they were already walking back quickly.
When we returned to the inn, it was completely dark. At the door of the inn, a woman was beaten with bruises all over her body. She was tied up and thrown at the door, lying dying.
Bai Cang's helpless voice came from inside the door, "It's just an ordinary assassin. Just kill him. Why does His Highness the Crown Prince need to spare his life? If he really leaves it to them, they might let this woman go again." Now, they are not their enemies, but they are letting it go without any pressure, and the only ones who will be affected by it in the future will be ourselves."
What he said makes sense.
It was indeed said from Du Tingyun's perspective.
However, some people outside the door didn't like to hear it.
Bai Cang shut his mouth instantly as if he saw Liu Shengsheng and Nan Muze coming back.
It was Du Tingyun who took the initiative and said, "Shengsheng, are you back? How was your shopping?"
"What can I do? I am regarded as a witch by the whole county, and the whole county is scared to the point where they dare not come out. How can I still dare to wander around?" Liu Shengsheng said with a smile.
The corners of Du Tingyun's lips twitched.
What does this mean?
Could it be that the people here have provoked her again?
Du Tingyun's face was full of black lines. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Liu Shengsheng had already said, "I heard that the woman at the door is an assassin? How about it? Did brother ask anything?"
Du Tingyun's face looked a little ugly, "Extorting a confession through torture won't yield anything. I intend to kill him, but your people keep stopping me. I don't know what the purpose is."
Hearing it, he also felt a little resentful in his heart.
Liu Shengsheng looked back at the figure outside the door, "Every assassin cannot appear for no reason. If you don't mind, brother, I can help with the interrogation."
Bai Cang turned his head away and complained in a low voice, "What kind of interrogation? Aren't you just trying to watch the fun? If this interrogation really reveals something that is not conducive to our Crown Prince, I might still be happy..."
His voice was very low, so low that only Du Tingyun could hear it.
Of course, Nan Muze and Yichen, who were very strong internally, also took a general idea.
But they deliberately lowered their voices and did not express their attitude.
It was Du Tingyun who said, "This assassin is here for me. I've already asked him, but if I can't find out anything, I might as well kill him directly."
"Is that so? Then let me help you kill him, right?"
Liu Shengsheng spoke calmly, and then walked towards the woman step by step.
She slowly squatted on the ground and raised the woman's chin, "She is indeed a beauty. How can such a pretty little face end up doing the job of a killer? I said to you, girl, you must be suffering, right?" "
Du Tingyun said: "Shengsheng, it's already dark. After finishing the matter, go upstairs and rest. We'll continue on our way tomorrow."
"Brother, I'm a little curious. You said that this girl is so beautiful, even if she joins the assassin circle, she can't possibly not achieve anything, right? But she came to assassinate you single-handedly. You can imagine how life is going to be. How miserable it is, maybe it’s really hard to describe.”
As she said that, she smiled and said, "Is it true that eldest brother is not curious about her purpose?"
Du Tingyun narrowed his eyes, "She won't tell. We have thousands of enemies. There is no need to go into detail about each one of them."
"It's because Big Brother doesn't care about everyone, that's why he has thousands of enemies left."
After Liu Shengsheng finished speaking, she leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered, "Do you know He Xi?"
