Chapter 34: Murder
Ling Qingyan looked puzzled.
"Aren't you here to invite me to dinner?"
It’s a date, we’ve had dinner, and it’s getting late, so it’s time to go home.
"We're just having dinner." Mu Xianzhi looked down at the badge on her waist, called his secret guard, and threw Ling Qingyan's jade badge over to her. "In the name of Chen Mansheng, send the badge to the palace and say that His Highness Tang Ning is staying at the Duke of Chen's mansion for one night."
Mu Xianzhi's movements were smooth and fluid. Ling Qingyan sensed a hint of danger and took a step back.
"What?" She forced herself to calm down.
She had just warmed him with such sincerity.
He can't be so inhumane.
Ling Qingyan swallowed.
"What are you afraid of?" Mu Xianzhi gave her a playful look, "Don't worry, the Master is not such a beast."
Why is it so erotic?
Ling Qingyan coughed lightly twice and pretended to be calm, "Of course I know, but I also have to go back to the palace."
Last time I didn’t go home for a whole day, my good younger brother at home felt wronged for a whole day. This time I didn’t go home for a whole night, and he will make trouble again when he goes back.
Mu Xianzhi stood in front of her and put her veil on her.
Ling Qingyan waited obediently for him to finish taking care of her.
Then, Mu Xianzhi put on his silver mask.
"I'll take you there to give you some courage." His voice was tinged with laughter.
Ling Qingyan didn't know what he was going to do, so she followed him.
Mu Xianzhi took her to a farm on the outskirts of the city.
The manor looked very luxurious, more like a private residence for the aristocracy to enjoy.
"What are we doing here?" Ling Qingyan asked in a low voice.
Mu Xianzi smiled and didn't answer her.
The two hid behind the rockery.
After a long time, a middle-aged man with a round waist and a broad body walked in from the main door and was led into the house.
Mu Xianzhi and the other two also followed.
Mu Xianzhi took her to squat in the corner.
He could have taken action directly, but considering the girl, he decided to let them live a little longer.
"Master Liu, I risked my life to kidnap the Yangzhou prefect's daughter for you. This price..."
"Don't worry! As long as it's someone I want, I'll definitely pay you back!" The man looked around and saw the girl with a black bag covering her head. His eyes were full of greed. "I didn't expect you to have such a talent. As long as the goods are good, I will definitely patronize your business often!"
He opened the sack on the girl's head, and it turned out to be the lovely girl he met when he was handling a case in Yangzhou. She didn't want to marry him, but she still fell into his hands!
As the disgusting words reached her ears, Ling Qingyan gripped Mu Xianzhi's sleeve tighter and tighter.
This is a human trafficker!
They kidnapped a good girl and took her to a place where she was unfamiliar with the place to conduct a disgusting transaction. They are worse than beasts!
Her hands were shaking more and more.
Mu Xianzhi saw that the girl had almost understood what was going on, so he touched her head and comforted her.
Then he took her hand and walked her slowly into the house.
The two people in the room were obviously startled.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into a private residence! Come here!" the man shouted.
However, there was only moonlight and the sound of wind outside the window, and no one answered.
Mu Xianzi has already dealt with the other people who were in the way.
The only two things missing are somewhat useful.
Mu Xianzhi walked towards the two men. His mask looked a little cold under the moonlight, like an evil ghost from hell.
Ling Qingyan considerately put a hood on the abducted girl so that she could not see the bloody scene in front of her.
The two men didn't even have time to escape. Although they were fat, they had no fighting power at all. They were beaten to their knees and begged for mercy in no time.
Another one got his pants wet.
Mu Xianzhi frowned slightly, seeming extremely dissatisfied with his disgusting behavior.
Fortunately, the other one was still brave enough and didn't wet his pants.
"I have money, I have a lot of money, please don't kill me, I will give you all my money."
He stabbed the pants-wetting trafficker's heart with a sword, and his plea for mercy stopped abruptly.
Then he looked coldly at the fat man who had not wet his pants.
Considering that he wanted to see the expression on the girl's face but couldn't let the girl recognize them, Mu Xianzi directly knocked the abducted girl unconscious.
Ling Qingyan looked at him in confusion.
Mu Xianzhi took off the girl's veil, revealing her stunning face.
Then, the next moment, Mu Xianzhi handed the sword in his hand to Ling Qingyan and asked her to hold it.
The sword was still dripping with the man's blood, and it felt cold in Ling Qingyan's hand.
"Your Highness, you come and finish him off." Mu Xianzhi said calmly.
Ling Qingyan looked at him in astonishment, "I can't do it, you do it."
Although she has now adapted to the fragility of life in this world and has seen Mu Xianzhi kill people without much reaction, she still has to hold the sword in her own hands to understand the consequences of a person's life.
It was too shocking for her.
Even though this person was guilty of a heinous crime, Ling Qingyan was not prepared to kill her.
"Tsk." Mu Xianzhi said as if he was teaching her in class during the day, "Your Highness needs to train your courage. If you don't kill people, they will kill you. It's like when you were assassinated that day. Your hands were shaking, so you didn't injure the assassin's vitals."
Mu Xianzhi asked the assassin who came back that day to tell him the girl's entire reaction word for word.
He hadn't intended to put the girl in danger, and those idiots nearly hurt her.
So he handed them all over to the prince to be captured, and let them frame Ji Yan.
He came here today specifically to practice killing with the girl.
This is the ability to protect yourself, and you should not be soft-hearted.
"The assassination of Prince Yong was really your doing." Ling Qingyan met his gaze.
Mu Xianzhi remained noncommittal. "Don't blame yourself for ruining my business, Your Highness. I don't blame you."
???
no.
Why are you turning the tables?
Ling Qingyan was so angry that she laughed.
"Then I thank you?"
"Your Highness is very polite."
Ling Qingyan: "..."
"Go ahead, Your Highness. You should learn how to kill people." Mu Xianzhi said in a serious tone, showing the demeanor of a teacher.
Ling Qingyan couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and was reluctant to take any action.
However, the next moment, Mu Xianzhi suddenly took her hand, holding the sword, and stabbed it straight into the fat man's heart.
Blood was oozing from the corner of the man's mouth, his eyes were wide open, and he died in front of Ling Qingyan.
With a "bang", Ling Qingyan threw down the sword in his hand.
"You led me to kill him." Ling Qingyan didn't know who she was talking to.
Although it was Mu Xianzhi who led her to kill the man, the feeling of the sword piercing into the man's thick flesh was too real.
She just killed someone.
The tears falling were her physiological reaction.
She looked at Mu Xianzhi with some resentment and helplessness.
"I……"
I really killed someone.
He died because of me.
She has a life on her shoulders.
Mu Xianzhi imitated the girl and hugged Ling Qingyan.
"It's not your fault that you killed someone. He deserves to die."
It wasn't his fault that he killed someone; they all deserved to die.
He felt that people who deserved to die should not be allowed to live.
"Remember this feeling, and don't blame yourself or feel regretful. This disgusting and useless person is not worth your Highness's trouble and harm."
"Your Highness, just remember that you should show no mercy to those you dislike and those who threaten your life."
"If anyone displeases you, you can kill him, or you can find me and I will help Your Highness kill him."
