Chapter 102 Another Assassination
The evening came quickly. After Lin Xiaoyue had dinner, she tidied herself up in the room and went out to tell a story on stage.
Standing on the stage, her eyes swept over every guest below. Usually, she would see three or four familiar faces, but tonight, there were almost no familiar faces. This was very abnormal!
She picked up the fan, opened it with a snap, and began to tell the story: "At noon, we talked about how Venus came down to earth again to invite the monkey, and the Jade Emperor named him the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. The monkey finally got his wish..."
Suddenly, someone stood up, pointed at Lin Xiaoyue's nose and cursed, "What a bullshit story! We won't listen to such nonsense! Pay up! Pay up!"
Then someone else stood up and yelled, "That's right! Your story is full of nonsense. You must pay me!"
For a moment, the whole hall was noisy, and everyone pointed their fingers at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue stood on the stage and looked at everyone coldly, "Come here, arrest the troublemakers, and kill those who dare to resist!"
"Yes!" Five Silver Slash Guards flashed in the hall and rushed towards the people who had caused trouble just now with a common goal.
The troublemakers realized something was wrong and blew a whistle. Several more men in black rushed in and grabbed the ordinary people who were listening to the story. They threatened, "If you don't want to hurt innocent people, surrender!"
At this time, Liang Jingyao had already jumped onto the stage. He used his body to protect Lin Xiaoyue. "A fight is about to break out here. I'll get you out of here first."
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the trembling common people and said worriedly, "What should we do with them? I must save them!"
Liang Jingyao patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry! No one who died here was innocent!"
Lin Xiaoyue sighed and prepared to leave under the escort of Liang Jingyao.
"Stop!" Someone broke through the Silver Slash Guard's defense line and rushed towards Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced back. Wasn't this the ordinary civilian being held at knifepoint by the rioters? It looked like it was all just a drill. She was so moved by her sympathy!
She gave the order in a depressed tone: "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
The fighting in the hall was getting more and more intense. There were still five Silver Slash Guards guarding the Yuanheng Inn, so there were not enough people to fight in the teahouse.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to be a burden to Liang Jingyao, so she pushed Liang Jingyao away and ran desperately to the backyard, "Brother Liang, go help them, I'll hide by myself!"
At this time, someone might attack from behind at any time, and Liang Jingyao couldn't take care of it. He shouted, "Okay, you must be careful!"
Lin Xiaoyue ran to a place where there was no one and directly turned on the space stealth mode. She successfully became invisible and felt much more relaxed.
In the hall ahead, the rioters, the black-clad men, Liang Jingyao, and his five Silver Slash Guards, were engaged in a brawl. The sounds of clashing, thudding stools, and smashing tables carried to the backyard. Lin Xiaoyue stood quietly. Although she could not be seen by hiding, with so many people ahead, their swords were blind. If she didn't react quickly enough, she would definitely be injured. She decided to wait here. Going over now would only make things worse.
Not knowing how long she had waited, Lin Xiaoyue found a stool out of boredom and sat in the yard to count the stars, one, two, three... Finally, she saw Liang Jingyao.
She rushed back to the room and after exiting the space, she appeared in front of Liang Jingyao, "Brother Liang, what happened? Are you injured? Did you catch anyone alive?"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "No, those are all assassins. They bit their tongues and committed suicide once they were caught. But it doesn't matter. Emperor Liang will send more people over. We will eventually catch one alive."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, you are right."
Liang Jingyao looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I'll get you some water. You can take a shower and go to bed. We still have to go to the capital tomorrow."
Lin Xiaoyue stopped Liang Jingyao and reminded him, "Oh, Brother Liang, you'd better ask the princess to help us find out the date of Emperor Liang's wedding. It's such a good day, and you're all relatives, so why are there no gifts?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "I know. Come inside quickly. It's very windy outside at night."
The next day, just after dawn, Lin Xiaoyue stretched and walked outside, and saw Liang Jingyao had gotten up again and was practicing sword outside. How could she be so lucky to meet such a self-disciplined and capable man?
Liang Jingyao had actually seen it when Lin Xiaoyue opened the door. Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was obsessed with watching him practice sword, he was happy to show off for a while longer.
But Lin Xiaoyue was still leaning against the door in a daze. Liang Jingyao walked over and waved his hand in front of her, "Silly girl, haven't you seen enough?"
Lin Xiaoyue came back to her senses and saw a big handsome face. She couldn't help but feel her blood boiling and her face turned red like a monkey's butt. "Liang, Brother Liang, you are making fun of me!"
Liang Jingyao laughed and snapped his fingers behind him, "Prepare breakfast!"
Then, someone came over with several plates of delicious breakfast.
Lin Xiaoyue ate a lot today: a bowl of bird's nest porridge, a few spring rolls, a poached egg, and a plate of fruit.
"Phew! I'm full!"
Liang Jingyao walked over and patted her back gently, amused and distressed, "I like to make it for you every day, just eat it slowly."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, stood up and said, "Stop filming, let's go! If we go too late, we won't be able to see the excitement!"
Liang Jingyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the carriage is waiting outside, let's go!"
In the capital, the famous Prince Jingnan was to be executed by being torn apart by a chariot today, and all the people ran out to the Meridian Gate to watch the fun.
At this time, Prince Jingnan was still in prison. Emperor Liang was afraid that he would escape, so he had his legs and hands broken. So now he was a disabled man, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, unable to move.
The one who carried out the execution was the second prince. The second prince originally did not want to accept it because he still had some feelings for Jingyi.
But Emperor Liang also saw this. He didn't know whether he would have offspring in the future. Among his two sons, he valued the second prince the most. In order to cultivate his son's decisiveness, he forced the second prince to carry out the execution and write a report of the execution process to present to Emperor Liang when he came back.
The Second Prince bravely walked into the prison. Seeing Prince Jingnan lying on the ground like a beggar, he found it hard to accept. After a moment of silence, he said, "Come here! Take Prince Jingnan to Wumen!"
When Prince Jingnan heard the Second Prince's voice, he raised his head and said weakly, "Second Prince, I have one more favor to ask of you! If you agree to this, I have a treasure to give you! Come closer and listen."
The Second Prince was a little moved and approached to ask, "What's the matter?"
A light flashed in Prince Jingnan's eyes, emitting a dark green light as if poisoned. "Go to hell!" Prince Jingnan leaped up with all his strength and bit the second prince's ear.
The second prince almost fainted from the pain. Was he going to lose an ear here today?
"Someone! Help!"
