In order to cooperate with Changqing's actions, I asked Heyue to release the news that there were assassins in Yuxi City, and made public the fact that Hilo tried to burn the grain and left a note before burning the grain. At the same time, I told everyone that although the assassin is very cunning , but Bai Huang and the inspection team almost brought her to justice several times, so the public need not worry too much.
"If you see a suspicious person, you can report it to the City Lord's Mansion. If you successfully catch the assassin, the informant will reward you with ten gold coins."
Added this sentence at the end.
The reason why this news was announced was because only a few people in Hilo and the Santo's Mansion knew about it. If Changqing asks about this matter, his identity will be exposed immediately, and we need to help him cover up.
But even if we cover him well, Changqing's progress is still not smooth.
Shiloh didn't let go of his guard against him, and no matter how much he tried, he didn't say a word. After about a week or so, Changqing came to me and said:
"Shiloh is gone."
My eyes widened. Probably aware of the ambiguity in his words, Changqing quickly waved his hand and said:
"It should be said that she left us. I don't know where she went. Her condition should be cured... In fact, we have known that such a day will come. She is used to being alone and won't be with her for a long time. Who is traveling together. But there is also good news, the night before Hilo left, he chatted with me a little bit."
Chang Qing still looked sloppy, and was out of tune with the expensive ornaments around the City Lord's Mansion.
He sat in a chair, clasped his hands together, and said:
"Xi Luo admitted that she was an assassin sent to Yuxi City. But she refused to tell her origin, and she answered what you asked me to ask."
Changqing paused and said in a low voice:
"I hope that Yuxi City will stop its outward expansion. This is what her superiors mean. She is also faithfully carrying out this order, but her boss has told her not to be seen out, let alone to have any relationship with Yuxi City. At first, she just sneaked into the military tent to peek at Fang Shisan's formation, and then secretly conveyed the general information to Lineng's subordinates, causing Fang Shisan's attacks to be frustrated frequently. But Fang Shisan's response The ability is much higher than she imagined. On that day, Fang Shisan calmly moved the tiger away from the mountain, and then suddenly approached the city of Rivet. Hilo had no choice but to take the initiative to assassinate Fang Shisan. But she still kept in mind the order above, not to marry Yuxi City. For the sake of death, she didn't kill Fang Shisan, nor did she kill Alaya, she just made a slight threat to force Fang Shisan to retreat."
I asked:
"But she didn't expect that Fang Shisan didn't retreat?"
Changqing nodded, narrowed his eyes, and continued:
"Fang Shisan chose to take a gamble. She bet that the assassin would not kill her, and continued to attack Rivet City, with a desperate posture. At the same time, she sent Felita and Alaya back to prevent herself from making mistakes in judgment. Dragging them down. Xi Luo has no choice but to come to Yuxi City to burn food and grass to save the country."
Here comes the point.
I tapped my fingers lightly on the table and asked:
"Then why did she leave a note before doing it? Ordinary people would not reveal their whereabouts like this. To be honest, if she had sneaked into the granary that day, she might have succeeded. Yuxi City can't deal with such a situation now." For an assassin of this level, the security around the granary is useless to her."
Changqing said with a complex expression:
"She said... if she just burned the granary like this, too many people will die this winter."
I originally supported my cheek with one hand, but after listening to it, my hand slipped and my face hit the table. I didn't bother to straighten up, so I asked:
"Gone?"
Changqing replied:
"Gone."
I barely raised my head, supported my head with my hands again, found a comfortable angle, and asked:
"It doesn't matter to her how many people died in Yuxi City? And what if she left a note? She entered the venue calmly that day, and almost burned the food and grass."
Evergreen said:
"I asked her. She said she reminded you that if you can't protect the granary, you should blame yourself for being incompetent, not her being mean. She also said that she doesn't know what is the right thing to do. Only in this way can you Let her feel at ease a little... even if it's just hypocrisy."
Changqing added:
"When she said this, she looked a little sad. I can't say it, it's just a feeling. Her demeanor has not changed from the beginning to the end. It is always cold and repulsive. But she said this When talking, it is obvious that I am in a low mood, and I will not miss this point. Over the years, I have seen too many people's feelings. "
I silently thought about it in my heart.
I don't doubt what Changqing said. He was a spy sent to Yuxi City in his early years, so he had naturally been professionally trained. Having lived on the streets for the past ten years, I should have a deeper understanding of human expressions and psychology.
"So when she assassinated me that night, she didn't choose to stab my heart, but—"
Kill chickens and monkeys!
This is the real killing of chickens and monkeys!
Thinking about it carefully, I really didn’t intend to kill me with that knife, but if she really succeeded, Yuxi City should not expand outwards for a long time, because I will fall into deep autism, and Yuxi City should also consider accepting it. Who will be chosen as the next successor may cause a round of power struggle.
When Changqing waited for me to finish thinking and raise my head again, I continued:
"My lord, I advise you to give up on Hilo. Although she looks innocent, she can clearly distinguish between good and evil in the world. In other words, her eyes seem to be able to see people's hearts clearly."
I asked:
"Why do you say that?"
Chang Qing pursed his chapped lips, and suddenly asked:
"It's not surprising, Lord City Master. Why did she talk so much this time when she didn't talk much before?"
I looked at Changqing, Changqing sighed and said:
"It means 'two cleansing'. Before she leaves, let me say a word to the city lord. He said that the city lord is very strong, but I don't know if the city lord can be vigilant against the dangers around him every day and night? From today onwards, she will There will be no further notifications for a single action, and she will not hold back any more. She will do her best to kill the city lord."
Changqing said with a wry smile:
"I thought I was hiding it well. But she was too vigilant. In front of her, it seemed that all the pretense was meaningless. At the beginning, I approached her with pure kindness, So she also accepted my kindness. But later, when I communicated with her with other purposes, she immediately noticed my strangeness. I don't know how she found out that all this was related to the city lord. But please be careful, Lord City Lord."
