He turned away and left, and Song Shiwei stood there in a daze. Although Chunxiu felt very resentful towards her, she had to step forward and persuade her.
"Miss, just stay for a few days, apologize to the Third Miss, and then be humble to the Prime Minister, and this matter will be over."
Chunxiu faced Song Shiwei's death gaze and, for the sake of her own future, said with a stiff upper lip: "Miss, you forgot that the monk is still in the yard. If he is found..."
Song Shiwei: “!!!”
She was panicked. What should she do?
If the Emperor found out, it would be fine. But if anyone else in the Prime Minister's Residence found out...
She twirled her skirt, and the old lady didn't know whether she had heard the news. If she had, she would have sent someone to take the monk away, right?
…
Inside Qingfeng Pavilion, Su Bai leaned back on a recliner and jokingly said, "I was stunned last night. That Third Miss is truly an extraordinary woman. Her martial arts skills are so powerful, especially that scene where she jumped from the fifth floor and pointed at Xiao Yanli. Wow."
He Yanting paused while holding Zi's hand, "So this is why you asked me for a human skin mask yesterday?"
"Of course." Su Bai said confidently, but when he saw the look he cast at her, he instantly wilted: "I was originally thinking of getting some information out of Xiao Siyuan, but who would have thought I would run into her."
He paused for a moment, but couldn't help but say: "Someone waited in Qingfeng Pavilion all night last night, but I didn't expect that she was not interested in men at all. Go find..."
The chess piece passed across the side of his face and was nailed straight into the wall.
Su Bai swallowed his saliva and very wisely swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.
He turned serious, "No kidding. Last night, an assassin tried to kill them. The assassin's skills were no match for the Third Miss, and he was killed on the spot. But I still feel something is amiss. How did the assassin know their whereabouts?"
He Yanting put down the chess piece: "Xiao Yanli's presence there explains everything. Why would he go to Zuiyuelong for no reason?"
Su Bai took a breath. "You mean, Xiao Yanli is the mastermind? He ordered the assassins to kill them?"
He Yanting remained silent.
Su Bai sighed softly and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he said, "Those poisonous insects on Malzahar's corpse..."
"I don't know where they are. I've searched the Imperial Prison and the Ministry of Justice, and it's as if those poisonous insects have vanished from the face of the earth."
Su Bai: "How could this be? Could it be that there are still experts in using Gu in Shengjing?"
Jiang Zhiyu's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
He Yanting seemed to see what he was thinking and said softly, "It's not her."
Su Bai was unconvinced: "How do you know who I'm thinking of?"
He Yanting looked at him again, and Su Bai looked away.
"Malzahar's body has been burned. The Nan Gu people will definitely not let this go. The news has been suppressed for so many days, and it is likely that it has already reached Nan Gu by now."
Su Bai sighed softly: "Let's not talk about anything else, the Third Miss's ability to attract hatred is unparalleled. First it was Lu Daizong, then Malzahar, and now Xiao Yanli."
He Yanting kept silent. After waiting for a moment, Su Bai suddenly heard him say, "Did you hear what else she said?"
Su Bai's face was full of question marks: "Other? What?"
He Yanting retracted his gaze, the corners of his lips curled up: "Nothing."
…
Jiang Kang placed the assassin's body in his yard. He squatted on the ground and searched back and forth.
After searching for a long time, he still didn't have anything on him to prove his identity, and Jiang Kang'an frowned.
Although he knew that this person was sent by Xiao Yanli, it would be useless without evidence. Besides, how did Song Shiwei contact them?
Jiang Kang'an's eyes slid down his body inch by inch. He cut the assassin's clothes with his sword, and there was no mark on his body.
Jiang Kang'an was just thinking when Jiang Zhiyu appeared in the yard.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Jiang Kangan chuckled and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed: "Don't come over."
This person is not wearing a single piece of clothing, how can he let the young fish see him?
Jiang Zhiyu saw it when he turned sideways.
[What's the big deal? It's just naked, what's there to be afraid of?]
Jiang Kangan: “…”
Yes, she studied medicine and must have seen a lot. She was indeed a little excited.
"This person doesn't have any markings on him. That shouldn't be the case."
Jiang Zhiyu grumbled in a pretentious manner and called out to Ah Fu, "Ah Fu, I'm thirsty. Pour me a cup of tea."
Ah Fu responded and left.
[Big Brother definitely doesn't know that the mark on his body only appears after being scalded with hot water.]
[Isn't my voice a bit abrupt? I'm such a clever kid.]
Jiang Kangan laughed.
In just a moment, Ah Fu came over with some tea. Jiang Zhiyu held the teacup and pretended to lose his balance, spilling all the tea on the assassin's back. A fire pattern suddenly appeared on his waist.
"What's this?"
Jiang Kangan cooperated with her performance and opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"This is the first time I've seen this symbol. Perhaps it's someone's assassin."
Jiang Zhiyu was about to say something when his ears moved slightly.
Someone is coming.
Ah Fu stuffed the person back into the sack with a "bang", and the courtyard door was pushed open by someone outside.
[Wow, Fuku's reaction is really fast. I was just about to say that.]
Jiang Zhiyu looked over and saw that it was Ji Tong. He coughed twice, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he spoke awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I took the wrong path."
Jiang Kangan looked at him and said, "No problem, Master Ji, there's no one with him?"
Ji Tong took two steps forward and said, "I was following them, but I don't know why, but as I was walking, they disappeared."
His eyes were moist, and he could easily win people's favor: "Sir, please don't blame them. I have had this problem of not knowing the way since I was a child."
[This person set it up. From now on, you can just say "I don't know the way" wherever you go in the Prime Minister's Mansion.]
Jiang Kangan lowered his eyes and said, "No matter what, they failed to serve us well and they deserve to be punished."
Of course, Ji Tong would not argue with him about this matter. Although he was talking, his eyes were observing his surroundings. When he saw the sack in Ah Fu's hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Am I disturbing you two?"
"No, you came just in time!"
Jiang Zhiyu suddenly spoke, and Ji Tong was stunned.
"Third Miss?"
"To be honest, I've longed for military life for a long time. Since you're here, Master Ji, why don't you tell me the story of how you fought in battle?"
She waved her hand to signal Ah Fu to leave.
Ji Tong could hardly maintain the smile on his face.
"What happens in the military, all the fighting and killing, is really polluting the Third Young Lady's ears if I tell you about it."
Jiang Zhiyu waved her hand: "You underestimate me. Oh, by the way, I remember last time in the courtyard with my second brother, you mentioned that you wanted to look for your younger brother?"
When talking about the last time, Ji Tong became furious.
He hummed, and Jiang Zhiyu said, "Then tell us quickly."
