Chapter 65 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 23
And he happened to be a monk who loved gossip.
Liang Hong was thus bewildered and arranged to enter Master Cimei's carriage, while the bandits were thrown into the gate of Lengzhou City's government office by the guards like chicks.
Throughout the journey, Xie Hanzhou couldn't understand why Yu Sheng wanted him to bring Liang Hongzheng along.
"Because I just observed his face and then did some calculations, I know that Liang Hongzheng will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Xie Hanzhou nodded, but Liang Hongzheng's silly look was really...
The group rested in Lengzhou City for a while, and it was during this time that Qin Zheng woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he spotted Liang Hongzheng, who was now in the group. He hooked his arm around Liang Hongzheng's shoulder and teased, "Brother, did you get beaten up by Xie Hanzhou too?"
Liang Hong was completely puzzled.
What exactly is he saying?
Liang Hong was pulling Qin Zheng's arm off him. "Young master, how dare you address His Majesty by his name?"
Qin Zheng took two steps back, creating distance between them. "So your face wasn't slapped by Xie Hanzhou?"
Liang Hongzheng shook his head.
"I encountered bandits on the road and was beaten by them. How could Your Majesty beat me?"
He won't hit anyone? If he doesn't hit anyone, then what about my face?
Qin Zheng pointed to her bruise and said, "See? Your Majesty beat me up like that."
"Oh, then you must have done something wrong and displeased His Majesty, that's why he hit you!"
The drought in Fengzhou had already made Liang Hong feel favorably toward Xie Hanzhou, and after being rescued, he became a staunch supporter of Xie Hanzhou.
His Majesty wouldn't hit someone for no reason; there must be something wrong with him.
Qin Zheng: "..."
Qin Zheng boarded the carriage angrily, giving Liang Hongzheng a fierce glare as she left.
He thought he had found a kindred spirit, but he never expected that he was the only one who had been mercilessly beaten by Xie Hanzhou.
After resting, the group set off again.
Xie Hanzhou had recently exchanged letters with Xie Tingsheng, and the assassination they had decided on was to be carried out tonight. Therefore, the group, who never traveled overnight, hurriedly set off again.
The purpose was to give Xie Weiyan an "opportunity".
No wonder Xie Weiyan is so stupid. They were all behaving so strangely, but that idiot didn't even realize it and sent Ning Er over.
Wenxi came in person this time.
It is said that there is some ambiguous relationship between His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor, and he was quite curious, so he came in person.
Wenxi, along with the members of the Assassin's Guild and Ning Er, ambushed near the dilapidated temple outside Lengzhou City, quietly watching the carriage slowly approach them.
However, even as the carriage nearly passed the ambush point, Ning Er saw no sign of Wen Xi making a move.
He couldn't help but question, "What does your Assassin's Guild mean by this? Is it like trying to get something for nothing?"
Wenxi snapped her fingers. "You guessed right! It's all about getting something for nothing. What are you going to do about it?"
Ning Er frowned as he looked at the Assassin's Guild members who had surrounded him and his brothers, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Damn it, who exactly did Prince Ning find?
What do they want?
Ning Er turned around and looked at his brothers.
Thirty assassins from the Assassin's Guild had come, all of them top-ranked assassins, including the deputy guild leader. With only five against thirty, they had no chance of winning if they resisted.
But if we don't resist...
The mission failed, and Prince Ning will certainly not let them off the hook when they return.
Since death is inevitable anyway, might as well...
"Have you thought it through? Since you're going to die anyway, why not join our Assassin's Guild?"
"Join...you?"
Ning Er had considered joining the Assassin's Guild, but they were all poisoned by Prince Ning, which would flare up every month. If they couldn't take the suppressant medicine in time, they would die from the poison.
Wenxi seemed to see through his thoughts and chuckled, "Don't worry, the poison that Prince Ning gave you was prepared by my assassins. The antidote is a piece of cake for us."
"You only need to consider whether you want to join us or be killed by us."
When she said the last sentence, Wenxi's voice suddenly dropped, and she looked at Ning Er with amusement.
After a long silence, Ning Er spoke up, "Aren't you afraid of Prince Ning's revenge? No matter what, he will find out that your Assassin's Guild deceived him."
Ke Wenxi seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Perhaps you haven't grasped one thing: with that contract in place, do you think Prince Ning would dare to retaliate?"
Ning Er was startled.
No wonder, no wonder the Assassin's Guild suddenly demanded that Prince Ning sign a written agreement; it turns out they had planned this all along.
"Besides, there are some things I can tell you; we're all His Majesty's people, you know~"
"Even many of our people in the Prince Ning's mansion have been turned into sieves by infiltrators, and he's still seeking revenge!"
Ning Er and his four brothers stared wide-eyed.
Ah, this... is something they never expected.
"How could His Majesty not see through Xie Weiyan's scheming little tricks? The reason His Majesty keeps him around is to amuse himself when he's bored."
"After all, isn't it quite amusing to watch an idiot smugly show off his petty cleverness?"
Ning Er and the others fell silent.
So, they were following a mascot prince before?
After hearing Wenxi's words, they recalled Xie Weiyan's expression when he firmly said he wanted to sit in that position, and felt somewhat embarrassed for Prince Ning.
They couldn't help but laugh when they thought of Prince Ning's wise eyes.
"So, Ning Er, what's your answer?"
Ning Er turned to look at his brothers, and seeing that they were all nodding at him, he said, "We'll join the Assassin's Guild."
Wenxi held up a finger and waved it in front of his face. "It's not you guys, it's you~"
Ning Er reacted strongly, "Vice Pavilion Master, the five of us are together. If I join, they have to join too, otherwise..."
Ning Er's four good brothers quickly covered his mouth, their eyes darting around.
"Um... Second Brother, please don't get excited!"
Wenxi explained, "They don't need to, because the four of them are originally members of my Assassin's Guild."
Ning Er was full of question marks, then looked at the four embarrassed faces, and remembered Wen Xi's words that the Ning Prince's Mansion had been infiltrated and riddled with holes, and immediately became furious.
So all his brothers are undercover agents?
"You four are really something!"
"Hehe, blending in with the enemy is the ultimate goal for us undercover agents."
Ning Er looked at them speechlessly.
"Alright, you can talk amongst yourselves. Those of you with missions, go on your missions. Those of you without missions, protect His Majesty in secret."
"Hey, where are you going, Vice Pavilion Master?"
Where did he go? He went to gossip, of course.
Meanwhile, Yu Sheng was listening to 888 giving him a real-time update on what was happening in Wenxi's area.
"If Xie Weiyan knew, he would definitely want to die."
Just then, a knocking sound came from outside the carriage window...
