The people in the room looked at them with wide eyes, without shouting or making a sound.
Because he was tied in a cage, his hands and feet were chained, and he had a mask on his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Liu Qiaoer looked at Pei Yi in embarrassment: "Who is he?"
Pei Yi shrugged: "How should I know?"
Liu Qiaoer: "He discovered us, he won't tell on us, right?"
Pei Yi shook his head: "I don't know, you have to ask him."
Liu Qiao'er made up her mind: "Or, just kill him."
Pei Yi swallowed his saliva. He had never killed anyone since he was a child.
Liu Qiaoer asked Pei Yi to block the door, and she slowly walked to the person who was locked with iron chains.
The man's expression could not be seen because he was wearing a mask, but his eyes were looking at her, moving with her, and were wide open with a hint of fear.
But he didn't say anything or shout, which surprised Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer asked: "Are you a prisoner?"
The man shook his head.
"Yes, the prisoner should be in the prison. He is locked up here, and he is well dressed and has no injuries on his body. He doesn't look like a prisoner."
The man stared at Liu Qiaoer without saying anything.
Liu Qiaoer put the sword on his neck: "I want to kill you, do you have any last words?"
Unexpectedly, the man's eyes turned red, but he still didn't speak.
Liu Qiao'er was puzzled: "Could he be a mute?"
Liu Qiaoer raised her sword and took off the man's mask. However, before Liu Qiaoer could see his appearance clearly, the man immediately lowered his head, and his long hair covered his face.
Liu Qiao'er couldn't see his face clearly, so she put away her sword and said, "Forget it. You look miserable, so I'll let you go."
The man still kept his head down.
"But you can't tell anyone that you saw us, otherwise I will really kill you."
The man nodded frantically.
Pei Yi saw that the guards patrolling outside the door had gone far away, and signaled Liu Qiaoer that she could leave.
Liu Qiaoer and Pei Yi changed back into their own clothes and left the prefectural government office.
In order to assassinate the prince again, Liu Qiaoer made a careful plan.
"We have people from Zui Le Fang in the prefectural government office. When the prince goes to inspect the silver mine, we will disguise ourselves as guards and sneak in. When we get to the silver mine, it will be more chaotic there, so it will be easier to kill people."
Pei Yi had no objection, nor did he dare to have any objection.
The prince played in the prefect's backyard for three or four days, and also rested for three or four days. When he had almost rested enough, he finally agreed to bring his men to the mine to take a look.
Although the silver mine collapsed, the government has been repairing it. The people who originally mined it were partly prisoners in prison and partly villagers nearby.
Although no one died, there were injuries.
As the prefect, Gu Mubai also took out some money to compensate the local villagers.
The prince rode in a carriage and came to the mine.
"Your Highness, be careful. It's dangerous down there. You can just watch from here. No one is hurt anyway."
An aide following the prince suggested.
The prince had no intention of going down, so he just stood on the top of the mountain and looked down.
His staff and guards protected him on his left and right.
After a while, the staff suddenly reminded him, "Your Highness, although no one died, the mine collapsed and His Majesty will still hold someone responsible. In my opinion, it would be better to let Lord Gu plead guilty."
The prince frowned and glanced at him without saying anything.
The aide was about to whisper in the prince's ear, but was blocked by the guard with a sword.
"Just talk, stay away..."
The prince stood there for a while, waved his hand, and prepared to go down and take a look.
The aide wanted to say something but was stopped.
The prince followed the path on the mountain and came to the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, as he was walking, he accidentally twisted his foot and rolled down the hillside.
"Your Highness..."
The guards rushed to pull him away.
At this time, Liu Qiaoer and Pei Yi, who were hiding among the guards, exchanged glances. It was a good opportunity to take action.
They followed him down, and Liu Qiaoer had the crossbow in her hand ready.
At this time, a guard pulled the prince out. Although he was covered in dirt and looked very embarrassed, from this angle, Liu Qiaoer was facing him with a crossbow, which was shot right at the prince's chest.
But just as Liu Qiaoer was about to assassinate, she met those eyes.
As soon as those eyes saw Liu Qiaoer, they suddenly opened wide.
In a flash, Liu Qiaoer suddenly thought of something, and quickly hid her crossbow and hid aside.
The guards supported the prince and walked towards the road. The prince was dirty and a little embarrassed, but he did not insist on going down the mine and was ready to leave.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Liu Qiaoer did not assassinate Prince Cheng, which puzzled Pei Yi.
"Why didn't you do anything just now?"
Liu Qiaoer's eyebrows were gloomy and her brows were knitted: "No, there is something wrong with this prince."
Pei Yi was confused: "Prince, is there anything else wrong?"
Liu Qiao'er didn't know what to say, so she waved her hand and asked Pei Yi to follow the guards.
Liu Qiaoer followed the prince's carriage along the way.
I don’t know what’s going on, but Liu Qiaoer always feels that the prince is looking for something intentionally or unintentionally. Could it be that he is looking for her again
Liu Qiaoer took advantage of the break on the road and came to the carriage.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in front of the carriage, the prince lifted the curtain and saw her. The prince took advantage of no one's attention and threw something into the bushes.
Liu Qiaoer pretended not to care, and soon picked up the thing.
All I saw was a piece of paper holding a snack, with two words written in blood on it: "Save me."
The prince was kidnapped? Save him
Liu Qiaoer handed the note to Pei Yi, who was also confused: "What's going on? What does it mean?"
Liu Qiaoer tore the note into pieces and threw it into a ditch when she saw one.
"I don't know. If we want to know the truth, we can just go and rescue people at night."
"Who to save? The prince?" Pei Yi felt even more confused. She just said she wanted to kill the prince, and now she wanted to save him. Did Liu Qiaoer suffer from schizophrenia
Liu Qiaoer nodded and pointed at the prince in the carriage: "Save him..."
Pei Yi was speechless, but after thinking about it, he seemed to understand a little.
"That thing just now, was it his?"
Liu Qiaoer nodded, and Pei Yi was even more puzzled: "He is the crown prince, why does he need us to save him?"
Liu Qiaoer took a deep breath and said, "If you want to know why, you will know once you save someone."
In the dead of night, in the backyard of the prefectural government office, there was still singing and dancing.
This time, Liu Qiaoer and Pei Yi did not pretend to be anyone. They were both dressed in black night clothes and came to the prefect's backyard as if they were familiar with the place.
Pei Yi became even more confused when he saw the iron cage in front of him.
"Didn't you say you would save the prince? Why do you want to save him?"
Liu Qiaoer scolded lightly: "Stop talking nonsense and guard the door."
Liu Qiaoer came to the iron cage again, took out a steel wire, skillfully pried open the lock, and then opened the masked man's chain.
"Can you walk by yourself?"
The man nodded, his eyes full of hope and excitement.
As soon as the man walked out of the iron cage, Liu Qiaoer knocked him unconscious with a sudden blow.
"Pei Yi carries him on his back, let's go..."
Pei Yi was extremely depressed: "He said he could walk, but you still asked me to carry him..."
Liu Qiaoer smiled awkwardly: "What do you know? I was just afraid that he would run away halfway."
