Jing Mo glanced at Lord Zhou Shangqing's body, then at the people trapped under the rubble, and felt that the gains from today's trip to Zhou Mansion were unexpectedly huge. He originally just wanted to ruin Zhou Shanzhou's reputation, but he didn't expect that he could directly take Lord Zhou Shangqing's life.
Yu Xiaoxiao walked a few steps behind Jing Mo and brought the Zhou mansion assassin who was knocked unconscious by her slap to Jing Mo. After looking at the man's appearance, she reached out and touched the assassin's face.
Jing Mo lost his composure this time. He pressed Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Is there something wrong with his face?"
Yu Xiao: "His facial features don't match the outline of his bones. Let me see if he is the skinless man from the Temple of Eternal Life."
Jing Mo quickly let go of his hand and his eyes fell on Lord Zhou Shangqing again. Zhou Shanzhou's name was not on the family tree of the remnants of the previous dynasty. How could this person have such a deep relationship with the Temple of Eternal Life?
Yu Xiaoxiao peeled off a layer of skin from the dead soldier's face. "He is not a skinless man." The princess threw the human skin mask in her hand to the ground and said, "He has skin on his face. This guy looks like a human."
Jing Mo turned his head to look at the assassin and found that he was actually a very handsome young man.
Yu Xiaoxiao stripped the assassin's clothes, smacked her lips, and said to Jing Mo, "My God, there are so many scars on his body. How many deaths did he have... No, how many battles did he fight in?"
The secret guard's body was covered with scars, completely destroying his original skin.
Jing Mo pulled Yu Xiaoxiao to stand beside him and said, "He is just a soldier who never sees the light of day. Why would he go to the battlefield? He is just a servant of the Zhou Mansion."
"You mean," Yu Xiaoxiao asked Jing Mo, "he has always been following this Mr. Zhou?"
Jing Mo nodded. The assassins would naturally follow their master.
Yu Xiaoxiao was immediately furious and said to Lord Zhou Shangqing, "You abused him? Damn it! Ever since you kicked Aning and the others out of the house and left them no chance to live, I knew you were an old bastard. I didn't expect you to be a pervert!"
Jing Mo wondered if he had missed something.
"Ah, Aning?" Lord Zhou Shangqing didn't think about what Yu Xiaoxiao said to him. He was about to die, so why did he care about being scolded? Lord Zhou caught the two words in Yu Xiaoxiao's words, "Is it Aning?"
Yu Xiao: "What? You even forgot about your granddaughter? I bought some fried tofu and your hooligans told me to get lost. Tsk, does your mother know that you are so domineering?"
Lord Zhou Shangqing was puzzled when listening to this person, "What, what fried tofu?" How could the Zhou family, a wealthy and scholarly family, have anything to do with fried tofu?
"He's still pretending to be ignorant in front of me!" Yu Xiaoxiao complained to Jing Mo: "It seems like this guy is doomed."
Jing Mo..., this person wants to kill the king and die with him, how can he be a good person?
"Oh my god!" The big boss came with Xiao Wei and a few brothers. Looking at the half-collapsed house, the hands, legs and heads of people under the rubble, the big boss sighed and ran to Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Princess, did they fight with you?"
Yu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "No."
The eldest boss said, "Oh, that's not considered courting death."
Yu Xiao: "They wanted to kill Jing Mo, but I took care of them."
The boss...
Xiao Wei and the former pirates...
I have never seen such a suicidal person!
Jing Mo looked at the big bosses. They looked fine. They were not injured, only their clothes were a little dirty.
Xiao Wei took the initiative to report to Jing Mo: "Your Majesty, there is a Nine Gates Admiral outside the gate with a lot of soldiers and horses. He said that someone from Zhou Mansion reported that strong men entered Zhou Mansion."
The eldest master said, "The chief guard stopped him at the gate. The gate of Zhou's mansion is full of soldiers, and many officials have come with their men."
"The thief cries thief," Jing Mo said coldly to Lord Zhou Shangqing.
Lord Zhou Shangqing remained silent this time, looking at the ruins in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
The big boss pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's arm, pointed at the fallen warrior and said, "Who is this?"
"Old man Zhou's assassin," Yu Xiao, "also wanted to kill Jing Mo, but I knocked him out."
The big boss muttered, "What about such a big vendetta?"
Yu Xiao: "Yeah, does this guy want to be the emperor himself?"
Xiao Wei pulled Yu Xiaoxiao back and said, "Don't make trouble at this time. What on earth does the court affairs of Zhuri have to do with them?" Xiao Wei was a wise man. When he saw that Zhou Mansion was in trouble, so many government offices sent people to rescue him a moment later. Xiao Wei knew that Lord Zhou Bianzhou had a high status in the court of Zhuri. Jingmo was still a new king. It was undoubtedly difficult to take down such a respected and powerful minister. This time, his princess really helped Jingmo a lot, although in their case, the cause of the incident was just a piece of fried tofu. (o(╯□╰)o)
"What about these two monks?" The boss followed Yu Xiaoxiao and stepped back, pointing at the two monks on the ground and asked.
Yu Xiao: "The monk from the Eternal Life Temple came to discuss with this Lord Zhou to see if there is any way to poison Jing Mo to death."
The eyes of the big boss, Xiao Wei, and the former pirates widened. Eternal Life Temple? Why do they always encounter the Eternal Life Temple wherever they go? !
"Don't ask that baldy!" Yu Xiaoxiao cursed.
Xiao Wei said as if in a dream: "They, they were caught by the princess again!"
Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned by what Xiao Wei said, and then Her Royal Highness the Princess burst into laughter and said, "Oh my god, so that's how it is, how did I catch him again? I'm always making that damn bald guy cry!"
Xiao Wei...
The boss slapped himself on the head. No one could sympathize with him at this time. Should he take medicine?
"Thinking about it this way," one of the former pirates looked at the two monks on the ground and muttered to himself, "That dead bald guy Mo Wen is quite pitiful."
The boss...it seems he is not the only one who needs to take medicine.
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and slapped the brother, glaring and saying, "What are you talking about? If he doesn't have pity, we will be the ones crying."
"Yes," the eldest brother also scolded his brother, "Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Do you think we are too happy?"
The former pirate kept his mouth shut and internally reflected on his mistakes.
"Please call the Nine Gates Admiral in for me," Jing Mo said to Xiao Wei.
Yu Xiao: "What's the point of calling a Nine Gates Admiral? He's going to kill you, and you still want to give him face? Didn't Xiongxiong say that there were a lot of people outside? Call everyone in to see the crime scene, and let this Qingliu pretend!"
Jing Mo laughed and said, "Okay, let's do as the princess says." When it comes to deceiving people, Jing Mo believes that Her Royal Highness the Princess is invincible. He originally wanted to let the Nine Gates Admiral come in to receive the order and lock up everyone in the Zhou Mansion. After hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said, Jing Mo thought it would be good to let those officials outside who admired Zhou Bianzhou see this man's true face.
