Seeing the blood spurting out, Zhou Jingmao and Li Chu were both frightened. Zhou Jingmao had seen a lot of things with Xiao Cunyu, and had even dug up a dead body, so he could still bear it, but Li Chu couldn't help it. He grabbed Wen Mianmian and started vomiting.
The sour and stinky smell was so bad that Wen Mianmian wanted to strangle Li Chu to death.
"Let them go." Xiao Cunyu said lightly.
"Yes." Tieyi received the order and immediately stood back beside Xiao Cunyu without asking why.
Soon, apart from the corpses of the two masked men, they were the only ones left around. The masked men walked away very quickly without leaving any trace. As a prince, Zhou Jingmao was assassinated while he was away from home. He even had some conspiracy theories and suspected that it was his illegitimate brothers who were behind the assassination.
But the thought only flashed through my mind.
His father has always been rather cold towards his illegitimate sons. He would educate them, provide them with money, and even arrange their future. But if he were to die, his father would never make his illegitimate son the crown prince for the sake of face, even if he married a concubine and gave birth to a legitimate child.
The illegitimate brothers in the family were also very clear about this, so they would never do anything to assassinate him for the title.
But he really hasn't been behaving well lately, reading all day, hasn't he offended anyone?!
In that case...
Those killers just now must have come to kill Xiao Cunyu!
Yes, this kid is always offending people. Maybe he accidentally dug up someone else's ancestral grave and was targeted by that person, so they hired someone to kill him!
Zhou Jingmao stared at Xiao Cunyu secretly.
I saw Xiao Cunyu's eyes looking around at the ground, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Xiao Qi, did you hear what they said just now? It seems that there are masters in the dark helping us. Is that true? Why didn't I find anything?" Zhou Jingmao asked with some confusion.
Xiao Cunyu was thinking about picking up his pearls, but when he heard this, he looked at the scattered treasures with a bit of pain, thinking that he might not be able to pick them up.
"They did bad things and feel guilty, so they are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. You see, I am different. I am a good person. Good people live long, so even if I sit still, those people can't hurt me at all!" Xiao Cunyu said seriously.
Zhou Jingmao smiled sarcastically when he heard this.
Sit still?
No, you're scared!
As a good brother, Zhou Jingmao was too embarrassed to say it too clearly, for fear that Xiao Cunyu would feel embarrassed and ashamed to face others.
Moreover, even if Xiao Cunyu was really scared silly, her performance was better than Li Chu's. After all, Xiao Cunyu didn't tremble. With her upright sitting posture and face, some people would believe that she didn't care about life or death. But Li Chu... was crying with tears and snot, which was pitiful.
Li Chu felt very depressed when Zhou Jingmao looked at him with disdain.
Especially at this moment, he was still pulling the little girl's clothes with one hand, which really made him lose all his face and dignity.
"You think you are not afraid? This female knight is protecting you, but what about me? I only have a useless servant by my side! If the masked man's knife hadn't broken, I would be dead now! You two are the culprits, why do you look down on me!?" Li Chu really cried.
Very sad.
He is so unlucky today!
Zhou Jingmao didn't feel any guilt at all. He even thought, "This guy will be a member of Wanjun Academy in the future. He's also the grandson of the headmaster Qingshan. He'll definitely cause trouble after joining Wanjun. He's just a troublemaker! He deserves to be scared now!"
