Because they had just been assassinated, Cui Ming and Wang Yi were not worried about Li Hao leaving, so they left Li Hao in the palace.
But even so, Li Hao could still learn about the outside world through Chen Xi.
"Your Highness, the marquis have discovered Zhu Yiwei's branch in Sudu. Among them are one purple envoy, three Fei Yi envoys, and a total of thirty-six Zhu Yi Zhong and Bai Que are left.
After a fierce battle, the two envoys in scarlet clothes died on the spot. The envoy in purple clothes who was captured alive took advantage of the marquis's unpreparedness and bit out his fangs and took poison and committed suicide. Only one envoy in scarlet clothes and six white sparrows survived and were taken into the prison. Out of jail.
However, the specific interrogation situation is not yet known, otherwise I will urge them again. "
Li Hao shook his head: "It's not necessary. Today is already the third day. Yan Xu will report whether there are any results, and he will naturally know then."
Just as he was talking about this, an internal prison officer suddenly came and said that Yan Xu had entered the palace. Cui Ming asked Li Hao to pass.
So Li Hao waved to Chen Xi and went to Xingqing Palace.
At this time, both Cui Ming and Yan Xu were already there. When Li Hao arrived, Cui Ming said to Yan Xu: "Go on, tell the prince what you just told me.
This time the prince was assassinated, so how to deal with you depends on the prince's thoughts. "
Upon hearing this, Yan Xu saluted Li Hao, and then began to report to Li Hao. The previous situation was the same as what Chen Xi said, with just a little more interrogation results.
"According to the testimony of the Scarlet-clothed Envoy who was captured by the ministers, Ren Xin did not return to the branch after the assassination was completed, and she also walked alone in Zhu Yiwei.
Before the mission, they only went to the branch once to learn about your travel situation, and then left quickly, so they didn't know Ren Xin's whereabouts.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, the official also interrogated the other captured Bai Que and Zhu Yi Zhong, and several times verified that it was indeed true. "
After finishing speaking, Yan Xu stopped and waited for Li Hao to give his opinion on how to deal with it.
Li Hao is not stupid either. Cui Ming single-handedly promoted Yan Xu and used him very skillfully. Therefore, he just said a few harsh words in anger before. How could he be given so easily?
"Father, Mr. Yan is smart and capable. He seized the Zhu Yiwei branch in just three days, which can be regarded as a meritorious service.
Furthermore, now that our government is at odds with An Guo, it is the time when our officials are needed to gather information and contribute to the country. I ask my father to deal with it leniently. "
With Li Haoti on the steps, Cui Ming decisively borrowed the donkey from Poxia: "For the sake of the prince's intercession for you, I will not give up your official position, but will fine you a salary for one year."
Now go down and continue arresting people. If someone else is assassinated by Ren Xinxing, no one will be able to intercede for you. "
After Yan Xu thanked Li Hao and Cui Ming, he left the palace and continued to preside over the arrest of Ren Xin.
Li Hao had nothing to do in the palace, so he simply played a few games of chess with Cui Ming before returning to his dormitory.
On the way, Li Hao told Chen Xi the result, and Chen Xi also looked puzzled and said, "This is strange. Recently, the marquis has turned the capital upside down for this assassination.
Ren Xin has not contacted Zhu Yiwei, so where can he hide it? Could it be related to those families? After all, the Marquis has not gone to those families to check. "
Li Hao shook his head: "Don't think nonsense, the current situation is not urgent enough to require assassination, and if you want to mobilize Ren Xin, you have to get in touch with An Di.
There are no relevant reports among the Marquis and Jin Yiwei, so I don't think their abilities are of this level. "
Chen Xi thought about it and said, "Then where is Ren Xin? The city gate has been heavily guarded in recent days. Could it be that she grew wings and flew out, or that there was something that was missed by the marquis. "
Hearing this, Li Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Maybe there is really a place that has been missed. Ren Xin is good enough at playing black under the light."
Chen Xi asked: "Your Highness, what did you think of?"
Li Hao smiled and said: "East Palace, Ren Xin should be hiding in the East Palace now."
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment and replied: "No, since you were assassinated, there has been a ban outside the East Palace.
With the military patrol and the guards of the East Palace, she is so courageous. "
Li Hao explained: "Sometimes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. The probability of the East Palace being searched is very low, and you also said you were patrolling outside.
Half of the guards in the East Palace were taken away by Gu, and the remaining people had to continue to patrol the entire East Palace. In addition, Gu was not around, so they would inevitably relax.
Thinking about it now, she deliberately assassinated outside the East Palace, and she must have had the intention of fishing in troubled waters, because she knew very well that as long as the news of Gu's assassination was spread, there would be chaos in the East Palace.
In this way, even if you miss, you can just run away in other directions in front of everyone, attracting everyone's attention, and it will be easier to turn back and sneak into the East Palace.
In this way, you can recuperate safely, and secondly, you can continue to complete the task easily. "
Chen Xi still attached great importance to Li Hao's safety, and immediately said: "The slave immediately sent an order for the guards outside the palace gate to return to the East Palace for a thorough investigation."
But he was stopped by Li Hao: "No, just keep it like this. This time I will go and meet her in person."
"Your Highness, this is not good, your safety must be our top priority."
Faced with Chen Xi's worries, Li Hao said: "Okay, you still don't know how Gu's martial arts are, just because Ren Xin can't hurt Gu, and besides, you will still be there, Gu will ask you to follow him then Just around you."
Chen Xi wanted to persuade him something more, but Li Hao didn't want to hear it.
After staying in the palace for another two days, Li Hao went to Wang Yi to say goodbye and prepared to return to the East Palace.
Wang Yi was a little worried about this and said: "The assassin hasn't been caught yet, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Stay in the palace for a few more days."
Li Hao comforted him and said: "Mother, my son is no longer a child, and it is not appropriate to stay in the palace for a long time. Moreover, the marquis searched all over the capital but could not find anyone.
I think this Ren Xin must have found some loophole and sneaked out of the city. The East Palace will not be in danger. "
With that said, Li Hao called his sister Cui Shu over and interrupted Wang Yi's continued persuasion.
This made her helpless and said: "If I had known this, I should have delayed letting you out of the palace for two years."
Wang Yi agreed here, and there would be no problem with Cui Ming, so Li Hao quickly returned to the East Palace with his guards.
However, although Li Hao had a guess, it was still a bit difficult to find her quietly with Ren Xin's shrewdness.
So Li Hao thought of inviting you into the urn and using himself as bait to make Ren Xin take the bait.
So in the evening patrol arrangement, Li Hao asked Chen Xi to say hello and move the guards around the bedroom farther away to create opportunities for Ren Xin to strike.
Of course, Ren Xin is not that easy to take the bait. She had sneaked into the East Palace a few days ago. During the day, she hid in a warehouse between the walls of the palace that no one would go to. She would sneak out at night to find some food and learn about the East Palace. Condition.
Therefore, he also knew the patrol route. When he noticed the change in the patrol route on the first day, he already had a bad feeling in his heart, wondering whether he had been discovered.
But it happened again in the next two days, and when she was sure that there was really no ambush around Li Hao's dormitory, she felt a little lucky.
Coupled with her confidence in her own martial arts, she believed that with the current distance, as long as she could succeed quickly, she could retreat before the guards could react.
After all, she and Li Hao had only fought one move before, and she had no detailed knowledge of Li Hao's martial arts.
However, in her opinion, Li Hao, a prince who had been pampered since childhood, and Zhu Yiwei's report did not describe Li Hao's martial arts, so she thought that Li Hao could not have strong martial arts.
On the fourth night of endurance, Ren Xin finally started to take action and reached the door of the dormitory smoothly.
He quickly picked up the door latch with a knife, opened a gap and entered, then quickly closed the door.
The whole process went smoothly, and the door was dragged with hands all the time without making any sound.
Then she slowly walked to the back room, and through the faint moonlight shining through the window, she saw a humanoid figure lying on the bed.
, and then shot a flying needle towards his head.
It was just this moment that made her realize something was wrong. She was too familiar with what it felt like to have a silver needle fly into her head. The person on the bed was not a real person.
He immediately wanted to fly out of the window, but it was already too late.
Because before she could exert any force, she already felt a powerful palm force coming towards her head, forcing her to have no time to make other movements, so she could only forcefully catch it with both palms, but was knocked back by one palm. Four steps.
When she tried to fight back again, she found that her internal strength could no longer push her forward.
At this time, the lights in the room were lit, allowing her to see the person who had just taken action, it was Li Hao who had never been noticed by her.
"Stop struggling. There was a secret San Gong Powder in my palm just now. Even your Zhu Yiwei's Ten Thousand Poisons Antidote may not be able to undo it.
And since you are alone here, you don’t have a chance to complain, so you might as well sit down and let’s talk. "
Ren Xin sneered and said, "The dignified Prince of Su Kingdom actually resorted to such despicable means as poisoning. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Li Hao wasn't angry either. He sat down on the chair and started playing with the tea set. He said in passing: "When it comes to poisoning, Gu Ke can't compare to you Zhu Yiwei. Besides, when it comes to winning or losing, means are only secondary, so you can't excite Gu." Useless.
Also, could you please take off the human skin mask on your face? It's so impolite to talk to me with your face hidden like this. "
Ren Xin was shocked. Her human skin mask was of excellent craftsmanship. She didn't believe that Li Hao could see it in such dim light.
Unless Li Hao knew her appearance before, so he tried: "What a human skin mask, this is my true appearance."
Li Hao didn't refute, and just said: "You can either pick it yourself, or I will pick it for you. I will count to three. If you don't choose Gu, it will be deemed as your default and I will pick it for you."
Ren Xin felt certain when he got here, so he stopped twisting and directly tore off the human skin mask.
Sure enough, this heroic and delicate face is just comfortable to look at.
"There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. She looks at the charming city and then the charming country.
With Miss Ren's appearance and temperament, it would be a pity to be an assassin. How about you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side now, so that I can forgive you for all your previous sins. "
Li Hao's sudden change of words made Ren Xin a little stunned, as if he didn't understand what Li Hao was thinking.
Li Hao didn't care. After pouring himself a cup of tea, he poured another cup for Ren Ruyi and motioned for her to sit down.
"I have asked someone to guard me outside. No guards will come, so the girl can rest assured."
But seeing that Ren Xin hadn't moved yet, he thought she was afraid of poisoning herself, so he simply took a sip first.
Ren Xin couldn't understand Li Hao, but now that he was Daozu and she was fish, she chose to be obedient and sit down.
After she drank the tea, Li Hao asked again: "What does Miss Ren think of Gu's proposal just now? It is much better to live here than with Zhu Yiwei licking blood from his knife.
As for Zhu Yiwei's ability to control people, Miss Ren probably wouldn't take it seriously. "
Ren Xin asked at this time: "I just assassinated you, don't you care at all?"
Li Hao smiled and said: "You didn't succeed in the assassination, and I have checked the manpower in the mansion these two days. Whether you are afraid of being exposed or have good intentions, you finally did not attack anyone in the mansion.
It is precisely because of this that this is how girls are treated today, otherwise I would not be so polite. "
Ren Xin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then replied: "I still have things to do in Anguo, so I can't betray Zhu Yiwei, but if you let me go this time, I can promise to do you two favors."
Li Hao nodded after hearing this and said: "That's okay, then you swear not to assassinate the royal family of Su Kingdom again. As for the other favor, I will tell you when I think of it next time.
Just empty words and white teeth are of no use. Just swear on the life of Queen An Guo. Remember that she should have a good relationship with you. "
Seeing Ren Xin's expression change, Li Hao continued: "Don't be so angry, Gu
It just makes you swear an oath, unless you are not prepared to abide by it in your heart. "
Ren Xin said: "Zhu Yiwei acted under His Majesty's instructions. I cannot guarantee what you said."
Li Hao didn't care, and said, "What's the matter? If there is such an order again, you can come directly to Gu, and Gu can have someone act with you in a play."
And now that the Su Kingdom has reached the border with Chen Bing, I think as long as Emperor An is not confused, this kind of thing will not happen again in a short time. "
Ren Xin thought about it, and finally agreed. He raised his hand and swore an oath: "I, Ren Xin, hereby swear that from now on I will never assassinate anyone from the royal family of the Kingdom of Su, and if I do so, my empress will live forever."
After speaking, he said to Li Hao: "Now you are satisfied."
Li Hao smiled and said: "It's not bad, and this is obviously a loss for Gu, why do you make it so angry?"
After saying that, he handed over the antidote and said: "After recovering your internal strength, just go out through the west gate. There will be no guards there for half an hour.
In addition, the guards at the city gate have been lax. I think you should be able to get out of the city without Gu's help. "
Ren Xin did not hesitate this time, took the antidote decisively, and began to practice Qigong.
Sensing that his inner strength was restored, Ren Xin planned to leave, but before leaving, he asked: "You really just let me go."
Li Hao smiled and said: "Of course, Gu has always been sympathetic to her, and she keeps her word, but Gu feels that we should meet again, and by that time, our identities will have changed."
Ren Xin chuckled lightly and left here without taking this matter to heart.
