Chapter 137 Why Do You Want to Kill Me?

Three days later.

A very exquisite carriage slowly drove out of the imperial city, followed by dozens of armored soldiers.

Shangguan Sui sat in the carriage, eating the cakes in front of him with big mouthfuls, with a very relaxed expression.

Qingping, who was sitting next to her, looked nervous.

"Princess, are we really only taking these people out of the city? Isn't that too few?"

"Although the princess wants to go and pick up the general in person, she still has to put her own safety first."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ziyuan turned to look at Shangguan Sui, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the teacup.

Shangguan Sui waved his hands and said, "It's okay. My master is protecting me in secret."

[If I don't bring any less, how can I lure out the assassin? ]

[I had spread the news two days in advance, saying that I would go out of the city in person to pick up my uncle. The assassin must have heard about it!]

[I must find him this time! Let me see his true face! ]

Qingping felt relieved after hearing this.

Xiao Ziyuan heard what was going on and lowered his eyes slightly and continued drinking his tea.

The carriage soon stopped outside the city. Yu Linjun stood behind the carriage with a solemn expression and his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

Yan Kongshan restrained his breath and hid himself intentionally.

So that the assassin can relax his vigilance.

Sure enough, after one stick of incense had passed, a faint sound came from a bush not far from the carriage.

A swordsman in black suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the carriage at an extremely fast speed.

The Yu Lin army behind the carriage didn't react at all.

The black-clad swordsman curled his lips slightly and sneered.

A bunch of trash, you still want to stop him?

The last assassination attempt at the post station failed, this time, he is determined to succeed!

He turned his wrist slightly and stabbed the long sword straight at the curtain of the carriage.

When his sword was only three inches away from the curtain, suddenly a red sword blade stabbed from the side.

The black-clad assassin immediately responded with his sword.

The moment he saw Yan Kongshan, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Damn, I fell into the trap...

Yan Kongshan curled his lips slightly, and the surrounding Yu Linjun also reacted quickly and came forward to help.

Outside, the sound of swords striking each other continued, along with screams and roars from the wounded.

In the carriage, Shangguan Sui was holding the teacup in his little hands, drinking tea leisurely.

Her delicate and pretty face was full of satisfaction.

【Ah, this tea is really good! 】

Xiao Ziyuan couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

I can't help but sigh, you are worthy of me.

Before Shangguan Sui finished his cup of tea, Yan Kongshan's voice rang out outside the carriage.

"Disciple, the assassin has been caught."

Shangguan Sui's eyes lit up when he heard this.

[Oh my! I knew that Master is the best! ]

She quickly put down the teacup, bent down and got out of the carriage.

Next to the carriage, the black-clad assassin was completely subdued and thrown to the ground, tied up.

Shangguan Sui walked up to him and reached out to pull off the black veil on his face.

Shangguan Sui originally thought that this assassin must be extremely ferocious, ugly, and have three or four scars on his face!

I didn’t expect it to be... so beautiful!

[Whose assassin looks like this?! I would believe it even if you said it was a nobleman from some other family!]

Even Qingping, who followed Shangguan Sui out of the carriage, could not help but stare in amazement.

The man had a pair of fox-like eyes and a bright red mole between his eyebrows. His skin was so white that it glowed in the sunlight.

When looking into his eyes, it is easy to be attracted by them and lose yourself in an instant.

A sentence popped up in Shangguan Sui's mind.

[There is no such beauty in the world, it must be a demon or a fox. ]

Shangguan Sui quickly woke up and tilted his head to ask him: "What's your name?"

Seeing that she was just a child, the assassin in black turned his head away and snorted, "Why should I tell you?"

Shangguan Sui blinked and said in a baby voice.

"You have a pair of fox eyes, so I'll call you Assassin Fox!"

The black-clad assassin frowned in disdain, "What an ugly name! It's not even as nice as my original name."

"So what was your original name?"

The black-clad assassin answered without hesitation: "My name is Zhu Yan."

After saying this, he immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly pursed his lips.

His brows were furrowed, and he looked aggrieved and bullied.

It's over! He said his name!

Shangguan Sui laughed out loud immediately.

[Hahaha, I didn't expect this guy to be so easy to deceive! ]

Xiao Ziyuan watched them talking and laughing from the side.

He didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably blocked and uncomfortable.

His whole body was filled with a cold and hostile aura.

Shangguan Sui saw that he was about to ask him something else when he suddenly heard the sound of carriages and people on the road in the distance.

Qingping immediately said excitedly: "Princess! It's Miss Liao and the general who are back!"

Shangguan Sui cast his gaze on Yan Kongshan, raised his little face and said, "Master, please take this man to the Ministry of Justice first, and I will continue to interrogate him later."

[This assassin seems to be very deceptive. Let's see if we can get more out of him later.]

Yan Kongshan nodded: "Don't worry, my disciple. This kid's skills are inferior to mine. He will definitely not be able to escape!"

"I will take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Kongshan directly picked up Zhu Yan.

He just tapped his toes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Soon, the carriage led by Lord Lou also drove in quickly.

When Lord Lou saw Shangguan Sui, he quickly dismounted and saluted.

"Greetings to the princess."

Shangguan Sui waved his hand, "Master Lu, there is no need to be so polite."

Having said that, she looked straight behind the carriage.

[Where is my uncle? Where is my uncle? Why can't I see my uncle? ]

【And my sister Liao? 】

Lou Changqing was originally resting with his eyes closed in the carriage, but he immediately opened his eyes when he heard the familiar clear child's voice ringing beside his ears.

He quickly took Liao Changning out of the carriage, and when he saw Shangguan Sui, a big smile appeared on his face.

He opened his arms and picked Shangguan Sui up.

"It's been a few days since we last saw you, do you miss your uncle?"

Shangguan Sui nodded and reached out to poke the stubble on Lou Changqing's chin.

She said in a baby voice: "Sui Sui misses her uncle very much. She must have worked hard to help in Mei County!"

Liao Changning also walked closer and bowed slightly, "Greetings to the princess."

The three of them chatted for a while, and Shangguan Sui soon felt it.

The atmosphere between Liao Changning and Lou Changqing became very strange...

Shangguan Sui couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

[It seems that my uncle has succeeded in wooing Sister Liao! ]

[Hehe, I’m going to have an aunt soon! ]

When Lou Changqing heard what was in his heart, his ears couldn't help but turn red again.

Oh my, Suishun is really too smart...

But Chang Ning is indeed much closer to him now than before...

After the greetings, Lord Lu continued to lead his team into the palace to report to the emperor.

Shangguan Sui went towards the Ministry of Justice.

Zhu Ni was tied to a wooden pillar with chains all over his body, unable to move.

Shangguan Sui raised his little face and looked at him.

"Tell me, who sent these people? Why do you want to kill me?"
