Chapter 334 Sniper Killing (I)
However, to Yuan Ziyu's disappointment, this Ah Man did not do anything strange. She just ate her dinner and then started drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror.
Yuan Ziyu thought he would have to wait for a long time, but Xuanyuan Xiao arrived not long after.
"Your Highness!" When Ah Man saw Xuanyuan Xiao coming, she greeted him coquettishly.
"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Xiao responded with a gloomy expression. He had been in a bad mood these days, not only because of Liu Heng's death, but also because Emperor Wen of Qi took away his title without asking any questions.
And now, what gives him the most headache is Liu Heng’s sudden death.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of Emperor Wen of Qi, he had never touched the secret guards and assassins under Liu Heng's command, including many forces, and just gave orders to Liu Heng on everything. As a result, when Liu Heng died suddenly, he was a little confused. It was really like his left and right arms were cut off, and everything went wrong.
Even though he had some forces that Liu Heng had helped him cultivate, they had shrunk a lot compared to before. And if those people under Liu Heng's command did not take the initiative to contact him, he had no idea how to find them!
In addition to the fact that his title was taken away, every time he thought of these two things these days, he felt furious!
"Your Highness, have a cup of tea!" Ah Man glanced at Xuanyuan Xiao's expression, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xuanyuan Xiao, advising: "Things have come to this point, Your Highness should not worry too much."
"Hmph..." Xuanyuan Xiao gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, saying, "This matter is definitely not that simple. From what I know about my uncle, he is not someone who would easily commit suicide. Besides, things are not at the end of their rope, so how could he choose to commit suicide?"
"Could it be that Your Highness is suspicious..." Ah Man widened his eyes slightly when he heard that.
"This prince suspects that my uncle was murdered!" Xuanyuan Xiao slammed his fist on the table, his face savage. "These past few days, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. If this prince knew who killed my uncle, I would tear him into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Ah Man acted surprised: "Could it be that the Grand Tutor was really murdered?"
"My uncle is a man who wants to do great things. How could he give up so easily?" Xuanyuan Xiao snorted coldly: "This matter is almost certain. When this prince finds evidence, he will seek justice for my uncle!"
After saying that, he looked at the teacup at hand and frowned: "What kind of tea do you want? Bring me some wine!"
"Your Highness..." Ah Man was somewhat reluctant. These past few days, Xuanyuan Xiao did nothing but drink when he came to his place, and then went back after drinking. He was completely different from before, which made Ah Man quite puzzled. She didn't know what Xuanyuan Xiao was thinking. She was such a charming beauty, but now she was just a drinking companion?
Xuanyuan Xiao interrupted Ah Man and said, "Quickly bring some wine, Ah Man, have a few drinks with me!"
Seeing that Ah Man still didn't move, he frowned and said, "Hurry up!"
"Yes." Seeing Xuanyuan Xiao insisted, Ah Man had no choice but to ask the maid to get the wine.
After getting some wine, Xuanyuan Xiao pulled Ah Man to drink with him. He said nothing and just kept drinking. Ah Man couldn't persuade him and had to accompany him.
Yuan Ziyu was observing Xuanyuan Xiao in the Qiongjiang Pavilion. Seeing that Xuanyuan Xiao had drunk a lot of wine, he thought that he would stay overnight. However, after drinking, he actually left with his personal attendants!
Seeing Ah Man's somewhat unwilling eyes, Yuan Ziyu felt a trace of sympathy, and quickly drove the Qiongjiang Pavilion and followed Xuanyuan Xiao.
Xuanyuan Xiao drank a little too much today and walked unsteadily. The attendant hurriedly supported Xuanyuan Xiao and said cautiously, "Your Highness, be careful!"
"It's okay!" Xuanyuan Xiao shook off the attendant's hand and staggered forward: "I'm in my own palace, what should I be careful about? Noise!"
"Oh, Your Highness, Your Highness... please be slow." The attendant saw Xuanyuan Xiao almost falling down several times and became very anxious. He wanted to step forward to support him, but was kept pushed away by Xuanyuan Xiao.
"What? Do you think that I have lost my power and you can control me now?" Xuanyuan Xiao stared at the attendant with his drunken eyes.
"I dare not, I dare not!" The personal attendant was frightened by Xuanyuan Xiao's sudden outburst, and quickly took two steps back and said respectfully.
When Xuanyuan Xiao saw this, he hummed with satisfaction and staggered towards his yard.
It was late at night and there were no one around. Yuan Ziyu followed quietly behind. Next to a rockery, she took advantage of Xuanyuan Xiao and his servant's unpreparedness and threw a handful of sleeping pills at them.
The effect of the drug was immediate, and the two men fell to the ground without saying a word.
Yuan Ziyu first took the two of them into the Qiongjiang Pavilion, and then released Xuanyuan Xiao after walking to the rockery. He gave him a handful of cartilage powder and then used the spiritual spring water to wake Xuanyuan Xiao up.
Xuanyuan Xiao opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a person who looked like a woman squatting on the ground and looking at him in the night. However, the woman was squatting in the shadow of the rockery, so he could not see the woman's face clearly.
But Xuanyuan Xiao instinctively felt something was wrong. He was startled and sobered up. He shouted, "Who are you?"
But as soon as he said it, he realized that what he thought was a loud shout was just the buzz of a mosquito.
Then, he discovered something else was wrong. He had no strength left in his body and couldn't even move a finger.
"Who are you?" Xuanyuan Xiao was panicking. He clearly felt that the other party had ill intentions. He wanted to call for help but he couldn't do it at all.
"Your Highness the Second Prince, why don't you first care about whether you can survive tonight?" Yuan Ziyu smiled coldly and tilted her head, just in time, the moonlight shone on her face through the gaps in the rockery.
"You..." Xuanyuan Xiao vaguely saw Yuan Ziyu's face and couldn't help but open his eyes wide: "You and the guy surnamed Huo are really brave, daring to break into my prince's mansion at night."
"Your Highness is wrong!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "I am the only one who entered your Second Prince's Mansion today."
"Are you alone?" Xuanyuan Xiao was slightly startled, then snorted coldly: "Second Miss Yuan, stop lying to me. How could you enter my prince's mansion without Huo Xifei?"
He knew that Yuan Ziyu knew kung fu, but the Second Prince's Mansion was not impregnable, but it was heavily guarded. Given Yuan Ziyu's age and kung fu skills, it was impossible for him to break in alone.
"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, then forget it!" Yuan Ziyu smiled slightly. This place was remote, and coupled with Yuan Ziyu's own perception, he knew that there was no one around, so he didn't mind letting Xuanyuan Xiao be the one who knew the truth.
