Chapter 784 All Belongs to You (3)
Luo Tan was stunned. "Assassinated?" She asked, "Who would be so bold as to assassinate the Crown Prince of Qin in broad daylight? Are the Crown Prince of Qin's guards so weak in martial arts? How could they not even protect their own master's life?"
Unlike Luo Tan's face full of surprise, Shen Miao was very calm. She said, "Don't worry, my cousin and I didn't go to Yi Feng Pavilion. When we bumped into that old woman in broad daylight today, many people on the street saw us. To avoid trouble, we even announced our identities. Those people can testify for us. We were busy taking care of the old woman at the time, so how could we have the time to go to Yi Feng Pavilion?"
It couldn’t be fake under the watchful eyes of the public, and Shen Miao didn’t know the art of splitting herself into two bodies, so how could she possibly appear in Yi Feng Pavilion again from the market?
Shen Xin snorted coldly, his expression was quite angry: "Wang Bi is so bold, he actually dared to throw dirty water on my Shen family!"
"It seems the Wang family wants to drag us down with them." Luo Xueyan also understood and said bitterly, "Shen Dongling is still our relative, but I never thought she would harbor such malicious intentions. How could she plot against her own family!"
Shen Miao sneered: "In the second and third branches of the Shen family, has anyone ever treated us sincerely?"
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were silent.
Luo Tan felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so he interrupted with a smile, "Well, to be honest, my cousin and I were lucky today. If we hadn't run into that old woman on the way, we might have really gone to Yifeng Pavilion to taste the incense. Huangfu Hao was assassinated, and even his guards couldn't save him. The assassin must have been very skilled. If my cousin and I had gone, we might have been implicated. Speaking of which, we should thank that old woman."
Shen Miao laughed and was about to say something when she heard Luo Tan mutter, "But the post they sent us earlier didn't mention that the Crown Prince of Qin was also going to taste the incense. What was the Crown Prince of Qin going to taste the incense for? Are there other people there? If so, were there any casualties?"
Before anyone could answer Luo Tan's questions, he saw two people walk in, exhausted. They were Chen Qiu and Luo Ling. Luo Tan turned around and happened to see them. He couldn't help but screamed, "Ah!" "Cousin Qiu, Brother Ling, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Qiu and Luo Ling's clothes were a little disheveled, and not only that, there were some bloodstains on their faces and bodies, making them look extremely embarrassed.
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were also startled. Luo Xueyan hurried forward and looked at the two of them anxiously: "What happened?"
Shen Qiu quickly explained: "Don't worry, it's not my blood, it's someone else's."
Luo Xueyan finally felt relieved, but before she could relax for a moment, she heard Luo Tan ask, "Cousin Qiu, did you and Brother Ling go to catch the assassins who tried to kill the Crown Prince of Qin today? Were those assassins very powerful and difficult to deal with? You guys look like you're having a hard time."
Shen Xin frowned and asked, “Shen Qiu, is that so?”
Shen Qiu and Luo Ling exchanged a strange glance. After a moment, Shen Qiu asked the servants in the main hall to leave. He then looked at Luo Tan and Shen Miao thoughtfully. Shen Miao smiled and said, "Cousin Tan and I won't tell anyone. Just tell me what you want to say, brother."
Luo Tan quickly raised his hand to indicate that he would not reveal a single detail.
Seeing Chen Qiu's serious look, Chen Xin and Luo Xueyan also became a little suspicious. Luo Ling nodded to Chen Qiu, and Chen Qiu sighed, then said: "Today, the troops guarding Bingbu City went to stop someone, but they were not the assassins who assassinated Huangfu Hao, but Huangfu Hao's guards."
"Guards?" Luo Xueyan frowned. "Could it be that they're demanding an explanation from Ming Qi, and the situation has gotten so bad?" Luo Xueyan had no good impression of the Qin people. Perhaps it was because Qin itself was the youngest of the Three Kingdoms, with little history, but everyone, from the royal family to the common people, was arrogant. Even though Qin was now slightly stronger than Ming Qi, the arrogance it displayed in front of Ming Qi was truly annoying.
