"Then have you ever thought about living in another place?" Sun Yu asked softly.
"No." Murong Xue shook her head lightly. She came to Mobei for sightseeing. After visiting the entire capital, she will return to Qingyan if she finds out the mastermind behind the assassination of Luoyunxi! She won't live in Mobei for a long time, this small courtyard is very comfortable, she plans to live there until she leaves, and doesn't plan to change places.
"This other courtyard, it's a bit small!" Sun Yu looked carefully: the other courtyard only has three entrances, compared with the Princess's Mansion, it's not a little bit smaller...
Murong Xue smiled: "It's indeed a little small, but it's enough for me, Ta Yue, and Wei Feng to live together!"
"That's true!" Sun Yu nodded. Mu Xue had only three masters and servants. The small courtyard was just right, but the big courtyard was inconvenient for them!
A gust of breeze blew by, bringing a faint chill, Sun Yu looked up at the sky, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first!"
Murong Xue blinked: "Leave now? Don't wait until the show is over?"
"Watching a play? What play?" Sun Yu was confused.
Murong Xue's cherry lips parted slightly, and she coldly spit out a few words: "Naturally, it's an assassination show!"
The moment the words fell, there was a sudden burst of wind, and streaks of silver light pierced the night sky, stabbing towards Murong Xue mercilessly with a strong killing intent!
The corner of Murong Xue's mouth curled into a cold smile, and she suddenly raised her foot to kick the assassin rushing in front, only to hear 'Bang! With a sound, Murong Xue kicked the assassin on the chest, kicked the assassin out of the gazebo, and fell heavily to the ground, dizzy, tinnitus, and starry eyes.
With a light flick of Murong Xue's finger, the pitch-black little courtyard instantly brightened like daylight. Dozens of archers rushed out from the darkness and surrounded the courtyard heavily. Towel assassins.
A middle-aged man in official uniform walked out of the hiding place and looked at the assassins coldly: "You guys are so brave to assassinate the princess of Zhen Guo!"
The assassins stared, he is... the minister of punishment! Why is he here? Still bring so many archers
"I invited him here!" Murong Xue stepped forward and looked at the assassins coldly: "Assassinating the princess of Zhenguo is a major case, an important case, and it will be handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so she called here directly." Lord Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, ask him to set up an ambush to catch the prisoner, lest she make another trip...
The faces of the assassins were dark, Luo Yunxi was really calculating!
The leading assassin raised his head and looked at Murong Xue, his eyes shot coldly: "How do you know there will be assassins to assassinate you?"
"Guess." Murong Xue's eyes were cold, the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to kill Luo Yunxi, as long as Luo Yunxi survived, the mastermind behind the scenes would not let it go, and would definitely strike again...
"Then how do you know that we will come tonight?" The leading assassin looked at Murong Xue coldly: They were all trained by the master himself, there will be absolutely no betrayers, and their assassination plan was just drawn up, very Thorough, no chance of leaking...
"It's also a guess." Murong Xue's eyes were dark: she was the only one living in this small courtyard, Tayue and Wei Feng, and the security was loose. The mastermind behind the scenes was eager to put her to death, so naturally they would send someone to assassinate her early. …
In order to guarantee to kill three of their masters and servants, the person behind the scenes actually sent nearly thirty assassins, how worthy of her!
A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the headed man in black: With just a clue, he guessed their master's actions, and the princess of Zhen Guo really lived up to his reputation...
The servant of the punishment department stepped forward, looked at the assassins, and said sharply, "Who are you?"
"No comment!" The leading assassin said coldly, his eyes arrogant.
The face of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment instantly sank, seeing the eyes of the assassins flickering coldly: They have all become prisoners, and they are still so stubborn, they really don't know how to live or die!
Seeing that the servant of the Ministry of Punishment was about to issue a stern order, Murong Xue spoke first: "Master Minister, they refuse to confess, why don't we guess their master behind the scenes."
Seeing the cunning flashing in Murong Xue's eyes, the anger in the servant of the Ministry of Punishment dissipated a bit, and he nodded his head mysteriously: "Okay!" Looking carefully at the assassins, he said in a low voice: "These assassins have very good martial arts skills. Gao, their master is by no means an ordinary person, he should be someone who is either rich or noble!"
Something flashed quickly in the eyes of the leading assassin, Murong Xue ignored it and nodded in agreement: "That's right, only those with high positions and powers can cultivate so many assassins who can kill without blinking an eye."
"There are many capable people in Mobei, but I have been leading troops at the border all year round. I have basically never offended anyone in Mobei City. Those who have hatred against me and wish to put me to death are almost all from other countries..."
The servant of the Ministry of Punishment stared: "The princess means that the masters of the assassins are not from Mobei, but from other countries?"
"Half chance!" Murong Xue's eyes were cold, the assassins didn't confess, did they? It doesn't matter, then don't blame her for assigning their identities indiscriminately: "These assassins may be spies who sneaked into Mobei..."
The sharp eyes of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment narrowed sharply: "Then there is danger lurking in the current capital?"
"Yes!" Murong Xue nodded without changing her face and heartbeat: spies from other countries sneaked into Mojing City not only for the purpose of assassinating her, but also for the purpose of assassinating the King of Zhenbei, and even the emperor and queen. There are no guards in this small courtyard, and the guards are lax, so the assassins will regard her as the first assassination target. When she dies, the assassins will go to assassinate the king of Zhenbei, the prime minister...even the emperor, the queen...
The masters of the assassins like to hide behind the scenes, so let’s do it. She will put these assassins on the top, and put a hat on the masters of the assassins. In the future, the mastermind behind the scenes will be found out. No matter who he (she) is, he or she cannot escape the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason...
The leading assassin instantly understood Murong Xue's plan, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he glared fiercely at Luo Yunxi: "Luo Yunxi..."
"What? Are you angry because I told you the truth?" Murong Xue interrupted him in a cold voice, raised her eyebrows and looked at the assassin, her eyes and brows were full of ridicule: "It's a pity that you are a turtle in the urn now, and you didn't kill him." That's my share."
"Luoyunxi!" The leading assassin was enraged, shouted angrily, swung his sword viciously and stabbed at Murong Xue, and the other assassins followed closely behind.
Murong Xue curled her lips and stood still.
The servant of the Ministry of Punishment looked cold, and ordered sharply: "Shoot the arrow, as long as anyone dares to strike, no one will be left behind."
"Let's keep a few alive and interrogate their masterminds. If they are all killed, the clues will be broken..." Sun Yu hurriedly reminded.
The servant of the Ministry of Punishment smiled strangely: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion! Let the arrows go!"
"Yes!" The archers took the order, and the feathered arrows flew out, shooting fiercely at the assassins.
The assassins waved their swords to resist, but there were too many feathered arrows, densely packed, they passed their interception mercilessly, and shot at them. Of the nearly thirty assassins, twenty were shot dead, and the remaining five or six He was also seriously injured and was arrested by the guards and tied up.
Looking at the assassins who were dying and bundled like zongzi, Murong Xue was in a great mood, and said leisurely: "My lord, these assassins must be interrogated properly." Said: "Don't worry, the princess, I will definitely give the princess a satisfactory explanation!"
