Chapter 274 Faking Death
"Humph!" Zheng Xun sneered, "I never thought that Master Huo is still a henpecked husband. His fiancée hasn't even entered the house yet, and he's already following his husband's lead!"
"I can take your words as a compliment to me!" Huo Xifei said lightly.
"Hmph!" Zheng Xun couldn't help but roll his eyes, but there was a hint of envy in his heart.
"I think we can have a good talk now!" Huo Xifei ignored Zheng Xun's rolling eyes and said, "You were ordered to assassinate the eldest prince. Do you know who the buyer is?"
"I don't know who it is exactly, I only know that the buyer is from Chile!" Zheng Xun replied.
"Chile?"
"Yes, it's Chi Le!"
Huo Xifei frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Zheng Xun said, "Absolutely true!"
Huo Xifei narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and thought about it secretly in his heart, and then he made a rough inference, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.
"How do you want me to help you?" Huo Xifei asked.
Zheng Xun responded, "Fake death!"
"You want to escape death?" Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
Zheng Xun nodded and said, "That's right. For any assassin in our Youye Tower, if they want to leave Youye Tower, there is only one way, and that is death. And if I want to leave Youye Tower, I must die once. From now on, there will be no Zheng Xun in this world, and no Ghost Face either."
"And then?"
"After that!" Zheng Xun smiled. "Of course I want to live my own life, without blood, without killing, with only my wife and children by my side, peaceful and calm!"
After saying this, Zheng Xun sighed, "To be honest, I never dared to imagine a life like this before. I always thought that I would live in this world of swords and spears for the rest of my life, but... maybe God will have some mercy on me after all."
"Okay, I agree to your request!" Huo Xifei said after thinking for a while.
"Thank you!" Zheng Xun nodded in thanks.
"Don't thank me so early. I can agree to your request not because of you. If you are the only one here, I don't care who you are. I will go straight to the Jingzhao Yin prison to see you!" Huo Xifei said coldly.
Zheng Xun smiled when he heard this: "Of course I understand!"
"You can stay here for the next two days. No one will notice. I still need to make some arrangements for the details!" Huo Xifei said, "Also, once this is settled, what identity will you use to go to the Yuan Mansion to propose marriage?"
Zheng Xun couldn't help but glare at Huo Xifei: "You seem to have listened to everything."
"That's because you're stupid and didn't notice it!" Huo Xifei didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said to Zheng Xun with a raised eyebrow.
Zheng Xun couldn't help but glare at Huo Xifei again: "Anyway, it won't be like this. When this matter is settled, I will definitely change my appearance!"
"Are you proposing marriage as a pauper? Or are you proposing marriage as a commoner?" Huo Xifei looked Zheng Xun up and down and asked with a sneer.
"Huo Xifei, don't go too far!" Zheng Xun was so angry at Huo Xifei that his chest hurt.
Huo Da shouted from the side, "How dare you address our prince by his name?"
Huo Xifei waved his hand at Huo Da, then shook his head and sighed at Zheng Xun, "It's so pitiful. After all these years, I've ended up with nothing."
"You still say that!" Zheng Xun was furious when he heard this. "All those nice things I saved up were taken away by your good fiancée, Miss Yuan Er. How dare you call me broke? Where's your dignity?"
"It's easy for you to say. What evidence do you have to prove that it was Miss Yuan Er who took your things, and how did she take them?" Huo Xifei knew that the gold and silver in the cave were taken away by Yuan Ziyu, and now they were kept safely in the Qiongjiang Pavilion. However, no news of this could be leaked, otherwise Yuan Ziyu might get into big trouble. After all, it is a crime to possess a treasure!
"The scent of Miss Yuan Er is exactly the same as the scent of the clothes in the cave!" Zheng Xun said with a smile, "Master Huo, do you think this counts as evidence?"
Huo Xifei's eyes glared when he heard this: "I really want to go back on my word and throw you into the Jingzhao Yin prison, and I won't care whether you live or die!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong!" Zheng Xun said hurriedly, "I won't say that again!"
"Hmph!" Huo Xifei glared at Zheng Xun and was silent for a long moment before saying, "It's up to you to decide what disguise you'll adopt. I'll arrange a new identity for you, and when we propose marriage, I'll also help you hook up. The rest is up to you!"
"In that case, thank you very much! I appreciate this favor. If there is any need in the future, I will definitely repay you!" Upon hearing this, Zheng Xun hurriedly clasped his fists solemnly towards Huo Xifei.
"Humph, maybe I'll really need your help in the future!" Huo Xi gave Zheng Xun a cold look: "Your dog nose is quite useful!"
Zheng Xun gritted his teeth, curled his lips and smiled, squeezing out a word from between his teeth: "Thank you, Master Huo, for the compliment!"
"No need to thank me, I'm not really praising you!"
"Hmph, I've finally seen it today. This rumored Master Huo, who has always had a good reputation, also has such a poisonous tongue!" Zheng Xun shook his head and said.
"That depends on who you're dealing with!"
Zheng Xun rolled his eyes and threw a piece of paper to Huo Xifei: "If you want to wipe out Youye Tower, these may be of some use to you!"
Huo Xifei unfolded the note, took a quick look at it, and said, "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me. I just wanted to vent my anger. If Youye Tower continued to exist, I would be terrified, wouldn't I? We are mutually beneficial, but..." Zheng Xun paused and said, "There is someone. If Master Huo could be lenient and spare their life, I would be grateful."
"who!"
"A killer from Youye Tower, Blood Blade!"
A few days later, a big event happened in the capital!
When the eldest prince Xuanyuan Che went to Fatan Temple to pay a visit to Master Wujie on behalf of the emperor, he encountered an assassin.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Che brought a large number of guards with advanced martial arts skills, so the assassin was prevented from succeeding.
The assassin failed and was chased by the guards. When he fled to a cliff, he slipped and fell off the cliff.
Therefore, the identity of the assassin could not be ascertained, and there were many different opinions for a while.
Emperor Wen of Qi was furious upon hearing the news and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. How could a prince be assassinated in the capital?
Perhaps because the prince was assassinated, the case was handled at an incredibly fast speed, and soon the finger of blame was pointed at Youye Tower.
Emperor Wen of Qi was furious and determined to completely eradicate Youye Tower in order to eliminate this major threat to the Dali Dynasty.
These things were also widely circulated in the market, and everyone was wondering whether this time they could really eradicate the Youyelou, the killer organization that made people shudder.
All kinds of news were flying around outside, but the people in Yuan Mansion had no mind to discuss these things. All their attention was attracted by a matchmaker who showed up unexpectedly!
The reason is simple!
It was simply because the person the matchmaker wanted to propose marriage to was the eldest daughter of the Cui family - Cui Ruxu.
