"Boohoo, boomboo..."
On a busy street, a carriage suddenly slowed down and turned into a secluded lane.
"Yes, this is it!"
"There is a fork in the road ahead, take the left..."
The dim streetlight illuminated the black carriage, and the paint leather was covered with scratches. This is a slightly old carriage, with a yellow license plate hanging on the rear of the carriage. The first two letters are "CB", indicating that it is a "Hebron Company" taxi carriage.
"We're almost there, let's get off here."
The carriage stopped in front of a large house, and a man wearing a dark traveling cloak got out of the carriage.
The houses here are very old, but the repairs are in place. They don't feel old at all, but have a bit of simplicity and elegance. It's just that the houses here are very close together, leaving only a very narrow gap in the middle, which can only accommodate one person to squeeze through sideways.
"Have a wonderful night, sir!"
The taxi driver collected the fare, took off his hat and saluted the cloaked man, and then drove away in the carriage. In Ice Blue City, a guy like this wearing a hooded cloak running from the city to the suburbs in the middle of the night must be having a tryst with some lover, or he is out looking for exciting dignitaries.
Wearing a hooded cloak just to avoid being recognized by acquaintances. Anyone who has been a taxi driver for more than 20 years understands this situation.
The cloaked man watched the carriage leave. Instead of entering the big house in front of him, he turned onto another road.
After twisting and turning, we returned to the street, and then walked into a lively bar on the street.
"Have a shot of tequila."
The man in the cloak took off his hood, folded his hands on the table, and rubbed the silver ring on his hand with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally.
A four-leaf clover is engraved on the ring.
The waiter glanced at the ring intentionally or unintentionally, then approached the customer and whispered, "Tonight's tequila has been sold out."
"Then come to Bei Lan Guiren."
"Sir, please come this way!"
After confirming each other's identities, the waiter took the man to a private room on the third floor of the bar.
There was a long table in the private room, and a group of men sat together with serious expressions.
"You're not being followed, are you?"
"No."
The man took off his cloak and hung it on the clothes rack at the door, revealing a noble dress.
"Is everyone here?"
"There are three more."
"No matter what, let's start!"
The scene was quiet for a while, and then the male noble headed by the long table said, "I invite you all here today just to discuss the matter of assassinating the traitor."
"The Fourth Prince has already arranged a way out. Regardless of whether the assassination is successful or not, we and our families will receive the best arrangements."
"You can go to the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent if you want."
After a period of silence, a middle-aged aristocratic woman said, "The traitor has been hiding in the palace for this period of time and has no chance at all."
"Even if the target leaves the palace, we may not have a chance. Don't forget..." a male noble reminded, "He can teleport."
There was another moment of silence. It had to be said that just thinking about assassinating a target that could move instantly made people feel desperate.
"The fourth prince has made a decision, it's time to show our loyalty!" A male noble cheered everyone up.
This group of people are the remaining royalist forces in Ice Blue City.
After a long period of purges in the Black Prison, the royalists were dead and scattered, and there were not many left.
Among the remaining people, most of them felt that the Malan royal family was in danger and chose to compromise.
The remaining ones now all have blood feuds. Their families were tortured by Triris or Black Prison, and they decided to fight to the end.
The bill to assassinate Chen Xing has been passed. It depends on how it is implemented.
"The traitor is so lustful, we can use a honey trap!" Someone suggested, but it was quickly rejected.
"Even the Great Chu Emperor Ji Chu Hanyu can't seduce him. How many women in the world can seduce him?"
"What do you think of Ouyang Tianhua?" Another person suggested, "I heard that the traitor was a low-level mercenary. How many of the mercenaries did not fight listening to Ouyang Tianhua's songs?"
"I object!" A noble man stood up and said, "No matter how coquettish Ouyang Tianhua is, he can't be as coquettish as Dabi Chi. Even if we spend a lot of money to buy Ouyang Tianhua's agency, there is no guarantee that Ouyang Tianhua himself will cooperate. The paper is ruthless and the actor is unrighteous, maybe she will sell us out with her backhand."
"The honey trap doesn't work, let's find another one."
"Lihen came to me and said that he was willing to take on this assassination mission." An older noble man suddenly said.
"Lihen!" Everyone looked surprised, then some showed solemn expressions, while others showed disdain.
Lihen, one of the top ten servants of the former King of Ice Blue City.
After the death of Malan 22nd, the oath of allegiance of the king's ten servants was also terminated with the death of the late king.
Some of them joined the new owner Cuilis, while some left the Ice Blue City.
Lihen was the only one of the ten king's attendants who neither left nor sought refuge with Cuilis.
He opened an underground assassin company that specializes in assassination work and charges very high prices.
"How much is he asking for?" The noble man in the lead raised his head and asked.
The older noble held out a finger and said, "Ten million gold coins."
"He dares to ask for it!" "Are you crazy about money?"
There was a lot of cursing in the box.
But after a while, someone whispered, "I think if Lihen takes action, maybe things can be done..."
"Ten million is a lot, but if we all work together, it is still possible." Gradually, some people began to agree. After all, the reputation of Lihen magic warrior is there.
The ten servants of the king are not something ordinary people can do.
"It won't work. There is no virtue in leaving hatred and cannot be trusted."
"In the killer industry, a deposit of ten million is at least five million. Maybe he took the money and ran away."
"That makes sense..."
Just as the remnants of the gang were meeting secretly in a small bar in the suburbs, discussing how to assassinate the Prime Minister of Ice Blue City, the parties involved leisurely came to the basement of the Black Prison.
"How's the situation?"
Chen Xing asked his chief interrogator in the black prison.
"She has a strong will." Ah Qiaomu answered honestly, perhaps fearing that Chen Xing would be unhappy, and quickly said, "Give me another week, and I promise to make her docile!"
"Very good." Chen Xing nodded, and then motioned for Ah Qiaomu to open the door.
The latter quickly pressed his palm on the combination lock and opened the door of the interrogation room.
The interior is spacious and clean, and the floor is spotless, like a white mirror.
In the middle of the room stood an "X"-shaped metal torture rack. A woman was locked on the rack, and the chain emitted a faint purple light.
The woman was wearing a leather harness, a blindfold on her head, a ball in her mouth, and her whole body was tied into a rice dumpling.
There were several small metal carts next to them, with various exquisite torture instruments neatly placed on them, including syringes, medicines, needles, knives, and whips.
This poor woman is none other than Tianqin's second princess, Shu Mu Xianglan.
After she failed in the duel that day, she was sent back to Ice Blue City and imprisoned in the underground cell of the Black Prison, receiving training from Arqiao Mu every day.
A few weeks have passed and Chen Xing came to check the results.
Shu Mu Xianglan lowered her head and snored slightly from her nose.
Seeing that the subject of the interrogation was sleeping, A Qiaomu was angry and anxious. He was afraid of Chen Xing's punishment, so he immediately picked up the whip and whipped it hard.
"ah!"
Shu Muxianglan was suddenly attacked in her sleep and woke up in pain.
"Wake up, you sow!"
A Qiaomu pulled off her blindfold and said, "Your master is here to see you!"
After a few seconds, Shu Mu Xianglan adapted to the light and saw clearly that the person coming was Chen Xing, and the flames of hatred immediately burned in her beautiful big eyes.
"Uh-huh!"
Shu Mu Xianglan struggled desperately, as if she wanted to break free and break the enemy in front of her into pieces.
A blue light shone in her eyes, and at the same time, the shackles on her body glowed brightly, tightly binding her to the torture rack, unable to move.
Chen Xing personally tried the power of "Gleipnir". The more he struggled, the deeper his imprisonment became.
Shumu Xianglan did not give up at all because of "Gleipnir's" tightening. Like a female animal whose cubs were taken away, she struggled more and more fiercely.
Chen Xing stretched out his hand, lifted Shu Mu Xianglan's chin, and looked into the other person's eyes. There seemed to be a fire in them, burning with hatred and madness.
Gradually, an evil fire burned from bottom to top. In an instant, Shu Mu Xianglan seemed to see a ghostly ghost fire. She felt cold all over her body and could not help but tremble.
When Chen Xing saw this, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth, then he leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I won't touch you until you completely surrender."
"I promise!"
Shu Muxianglan's eyes rekindled the flames of hatred, and she struggled desperately, "Yeah, yeah!"
"presumptuous!"
Ah Qiaomu shouted sharply and whipped out the whip.
"Uh-huh!"
Shu Mu Xianglan shook her head wildly, sweat and saliva falling all over the floor.
Chen Xing smiled coldly and left the interrogation room.
