Chapter 405 Dead
It was a pity that Xiao Yanli was too cautious.
There was only one chance to find clues to the treasure on her without hurting anyone.
They were not sure whether Song Shiwei's emotions at the time were enough to make the clues appear, and whether the time for the clues to appear was long or short, and whether they would appear before Xiao Yanli's people arrived.
There were too many uncertain factors.
But Xiao Chuji did not mention it as if he was deliberately avoiding it.
Jiang Zhaorong licked her lips, her voice dry and tentative: "Your Highness, are you sure it was a fake assassination and no one will be hurt?"
"Of course," Xiao Chuji said calmly: "What are you worried about? Could it be that I will make things difficult for the treasure?"
Seeing that he did not look like a liar, Jiang Zhaorong looked at him for a few seconds before smiling: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. I just care about it."
Xiao Chuji glanced at him and did not comment on it.
He stood up: "Everything will wait until tomorrow, just be ready for the response."
Jiang Zhaorong nodded.
After leaving the mansion, Xiao Chuji's face darkened instantly: "Take advantage of the opportunity tomorrow. If we can capture him alive, we will capture him alive. If not, we will kill him directly."
He would never let Song Shiwei live to see Xiao Yanli.
If he can't get the treasure, no one else can either.
The guard next to him responded.
...
The next morning, the Xu family was having dinner, including He Yanting.
Yes, after a long period of freeloading, the Xu family was no longer surprised by He Yanting's appearance at the table.
After seeing his "tea art", in order to prevent Zhiyu from being really fooled by him, they also evolved from tit-for-tat at the beginning to tit-for-tat behind Jiang Zhiyu's back.
Including but not limited to: eye warnings, verbal sarcasm...
Of course, all of this was done behind Jiang Zhiyu's back.
Anyway, he had no evidence. If he complained to Zhiyu every day but had no evidence, he would soon disgust Zhiyu.
This was what the Xu family liked to see the most.
But if he didn't complain, he could only endure it silently. Anyway, the Xu family would not suffer any loss.
The breakfast was full of undercurrents, and soon, the servant's report broke the atmosphere.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see the Second Young Lady."
In the Xu Mansion, since they had not left the house, they would naturally call the young ladies. Jiang Sulan was the eldest and Jiang Zhiyu was the second.
Jiang Zhiyu still had a good impression of Xiao Lingyu. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Let him in."
Although it was a bit upside down, it seemed reasonable to Jiang Zhiyu.
The servant led Xiao Lingyu in. After everyone saluted and exchanged a few words, they all turned their eyes to the pot of flowers in Xiao Lingyu's hand.
The flowers were carved to be lifelike, with lush branches and leaves. Except for the color, they were no different from real flowers.
Because of the color, it can be seen at a glance that it is a flower made of gold.
When Xiao Lingyu brought such a pot of flowers, it was obvious who his target was.
Sure enough, Jiang Zhiyu's eyes lit up immediately.
He Yanting straightened his back without being noticed, and the Xu family looked at him with a look of schadenfreude.
Are you stupid? Look at them!
[Throwing money at me? This trick... I'll take it!]
[Quick! Show it to me!]
Jiang Zhiyu had a bright smile on his face, and his movements were diligent and quick.
She stood up and walked to Xiao Lingyu, took the gold flower from his hand very naturally, and said, "Come if you want to, why bring a gift? It's so polite."
Everyone: "..."
"Come and sit down, have you eaten? Eat more, eat more, you're welcome."
She put one hand around the gold flower, and with the other hand she pressed Xiao Lingyu to sit down, and then stuffed the chopsticks into his hand.
Xiao Lingyu laughed dumbly: "I'm not here to eat for free, I'm here to apologize to you."
"At the palace banquet that day, the incident happened suddenly, and I thought of such a method in a hurry. It has damaged your reputation. I hope you won't be offended."
"Don't be offended, don't be offended. It doesn't matter if you come a few more times."
Jiang Zhiyu blurted out.
He Yanting: "..."
Xiao Lingyu chuckled, looked at the chopsticks in his hand, picked up some food, and put it down after eating a few bites.
"By the way," he took out the brocade handkerchief in his arms and wiped his mouth: "Sixth brother is taking a concubine at noon, Miss Jiang, are you interested in seeing it?"
There was nothing else to do, so Jiang Zhiyu nodded in agreement.
The auspicious time detected by Qintian Monitoring was noon, which was the time when there were the most people.
There were no gongs and drums, no firecrackers, and no one congratulated. If it weren't for the two red lanterns hanging on the door of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, no one would have realized that the Sixth Prince was going to take a concubine today.
When the time came, the main door opened, and a "wedding sedan chair" was carried out.
It was called a wedding sedan chair, but in fact it was just an ordinary sedan chair covered with a piece of red cloth.
Jiang Zhiyu squatted on the eaves: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, man."
Squatting with her, on the left was He Yanting, and on the right was Xiao Lingyu.
[After so many years together, in the end, he didn't even get a wedding carriage.]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk.]
He Yanting: "..."
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
The wedding carriage was moving slowly, not seeking stability, but speed.
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air suddenly rang out, and in mid-air, four flying knives flashed with cold light and stabbed at the wedding carriage in unison.
Five men in black rose into the air from the roof opposite the street corner and flew towards the wedding carriage.
"Thump, thump, thump," four flying knives were blocked by swords and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. In just a moment, the four men in black grabbed the four sedan chair drivers one by one.
"Who is coming?!"
The coachman shouted, but the man opposite him had no intention of talking to him. With a flick of his wrist, the knife in his hand flew out, creating a stream of light that shot straight at the coachman's face. The
coachman dodged, and the sword in his hand flew, and sword energy spread out with the dance, and the small stall next to him was broken into pieces in an instant.
The forces were evenly matched, and neither of them had the upper hand. Seeing this, the lone man in black took advantage of the fact that they were all restrained and slipped into the wedding carriage.
The sedan chair drivers' eyes suddenly widened, and without caring about anything, they swung their swords, and the sedan chair exploded, revealing the scene inside -
Song Shiwei had a flying knife stuck in her chest, and her face was bloodless. The sedan chair broke apart, and her body had no support. In everyone's sight, she fell heavily to the ground.
It seemed that she had no life at all.
The actions of both sides came to a halt, and everyone's eyes were filled with shock. The person closest to the black-clad man who entered the wedding carriage couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, what are you doing! Didn't you say to capture her alive?!"
The black-clad man who entered the wedding carriage looked even uglier than him: "It's not me, she was like this when I just entered!"
Now is not the time to argue. Seeing the sedan chair drivers reacting, the black-clad men turned around and left without any hesitation.
Two sedan chair drivers chased after them, one ran back to the mansion, and the other stayed where he was.
The three people who witnessed the whole process: "..."
Xiao Lingyu frowned: "Song Shiwei, is he really dead?"
