The next morning, for fear of implicating innocent civilians, Chu You led his team out of the city before dawn.
In the carriage, Chu Yaoyao lay on the cushion in a daze, her little head pecking at rice, bit by bit.
Chu You stretched out his hand and wanted to pick her up, but unexpectedly, the girl snorted angrily, hugged her arms and turned her head to look away.
"I won't play with you!"
Chu You: ...
It was just a slap on the hand, but this little guy still holds a grudge.
The further he walked, the more solemn Chu You's expression became.
Until Ah Shi outside approached the carriage and whispered, "Your Highness, it's just a hundred meters ahead."
Chu You nodded at her.
Ah Shi immediately shouted to everyone: "Quick, speed up!"
Behind the big rock in the corner, next to the weeds and the pile of dirt, several men in black took out tinderboxes at the same time, lit the fuse, and then ran away quickly.
Mo Zhu, wearing a black cloak, watched the scene from afar with a sneer on his face.
The second prince of Daqi, a peerless genius?
I will die today! He counted silently in his mind, then raised his hands to cover his ears.
But he waited for a long time and there was no sound, not even the ground shook!
The team had already walked out of the explosion range, and he shouted in disbelief, "How could this happen?!"
Lao Jiu strode over and pulled off the black veil on his face, revealing a serious face.
"Fourth brother, we dug out the barrel, and the weight is wrong!"
"What?!"
Mo Zhu's face changed drastically.
After a careful inspection, Lao Jiu looked up at Mo Zhu and said, "It was pried open!"
The slightly fat man pointed at them and shouted.
"Mr. Mo, you swear to heaven and earth that you will make the Second Prince die here this time. The deposit has already been received!"
"In this situation, what do you have to say?!"
"Shut up!"
Mo Zhu glanced at him with murderous eyes, and the man felt his throat tighten instantly. He shrank into the corner with a panicked expression, not daring to breathe.
Seeing this, Mo Zhu retracted his gaze, took a deep breath to suppress the murderous intent in his heart, and looked at the wooden barrel with gritted teeth.
“Open it and take a look!”
Lao Jiu took apart a piece of wood, "Empty!"
Mo Zhu kicked the wooden barrel away.
I opened it again, "It's empty again!"
The second one was also kicked far away.
Until the last one.
"There is something in here!" Lao Jiu held up a bead high.
"What's this?"
The slightly plump man nimbly pushed aside the people next to him, rushed over, grabbed the beads, and looked at them carefully.
"Tsk, isn't it just a broken stone?"
He curled his lips and threw it away.
"Don't!"
Mo Zhu's eyes twitched inexplicably, and as he had been wandering between life and death for many years, an alarm bell rang in his mind.
“Run!”
Hearing his words, the subordinates he brought with him quickly dispersed to the side.
But it was still too late.
The beads hit the ground with a loud bang, creating a huge air wave that directly shook them against the stone wall and boulders.
Several people fainted before they even had time to wail.
The noise could be faintly heard from hundreds of meters away.
Hearing the loud noise, all the horses were frightened and the team fell into chaos for a moment.
He Xi even ran to the brother and sister's carriage, looked around vigilantly, and shouted to everyone:
"Protect the young master, protect the young lady!"
Chu You lifted the car curtain and looked out, "Thirteen, go and take a look!"
His gaze stayed on Chen Wu for a while, and then he secretly gave Feng Chi a look.
Feng Chi nodded, moved closer to Chen Wu, and stared at him more closely.
However, Chen Wu, whose mind was in a mess, did not notice all this.
He frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.
You talk so loud, but you can't accomplish anything?!
What a bunch of rubbish! Chu You turned around and saw a little girl holding her stomach, her face flushed from trying not to laugh.
Chu Yaoyao covered her mouth tightly and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
[Is he here to make fun of me? ]
Hearing her words, Chu You lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful.
I never thought that the ordinary little bead in Ah Shi's mouth could have such great power!
Chu Yaoyao almost fell down laughing.
[Haha, I didn't do this. You guys threw it to the ground and blew yourself up!]
She read the information carefully yesterday and found out that air bombs are weapons used by interstellar cubs to protect themselves. They have little killing power and can only knock people unconscious.
Of course, after all, the interstellar people have good physical conditions, and when they come here, the harm to them will be greater.
But the system also said that at most the person would suffer some internal injuries and there would be no danger to his life.
Who asked them to kill my second brother? Compared with the two, she was already very merciful! Chu You was slightly lost in thought as he looked outside the car.
Later, Ah Shi recounted in detail what happened last night.
In addition to Xiyue, there was another force involved in this assassination, which came from the south.
Speaking of which, this trip south has been planned for a long time, and quite a few people have received the news.
Who could it be?
He had never had any grudges with anyone, and apart from Shangguan Zhi, who saw him as a threat, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would want to kill him.
If it's not a personal vendetta, then it's for the sake of profit...
Could it be the Su family? They have a caravan that often goes out to sea, and most of the colored glass in the South Sea comes from them.
Could it be them? Thinking of this, Chu You shook his head.
The Luozhou Su family is a century-old family with its own integrity and bearing. They should not bring tarnish to the family for the sake of material gain.
Who could it be then?
At this time, Thirteen, who had gone out to investigate, came back and said, "Sir, there are only three men in black over there."
"Three?"
Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao scratched her cheek in confusion.
[There were clearly seven people last night! ]
Thirteen looked unhappy, "And all..."
Seeing his expression, Chu You frowned, coughed lightly, and raised his index finger, signaling him to be quiet.
Then he stopped the carriage and turned to look at the little guy huddled in the corner, "Yaoyao, second brother will go downstairs, don't run around."
After saying that, he walked out of the carriage, took Thirteen away, and looked at him seriously.
"Go ahead."
Thirteen said in a deep voice: "Those three men in black are dead."
Chu You subconsciously glanced at the carriage. At this moment, a gust of wind blew past, lifting the curtain on the window, revealing a delicate and carefree little face.
Yaoyao must not know about this! "But was it caused by the loud noise?"
Thirteen shook his head slowly. "I checked and found that those people suffered internal injuries first, but they were not serious. The fatal one was the knife wound on the neck."
He affirmed: "The other party acted decisively. I guess they were silenced!"
He is so cruel and merciless, and leaves nothing to chance!
Chu You sneered in his heart.
Then he whispered, "Take a few people to deal with it, and don't let Yaoyao know about this."
This matter was rather secretive, so Thirteen simply took Ten with him to do it.
Back in the carriage, Chu You sighed slightly as he looked at the little guy curled up on the couch playing with the Rubik's Cube.
Even if those three people were not killed by the beads, Yaoyao would still be scared if she knew.
system:……
You are overthinking it, the host already knows.
Chu Yaoyao asked proudly in her heart:
[System, look at my expression and movements, aren't they quite natural? ]
The system is still thinking about the big red envelope, how can it not hold it?
System: That's right, the host is really an acting talent! [Hehe, since my second brother doesn't want me to know, then I'll just pretend I don't know! ]
System: Ahem, host, do you still remember what happened last night?
Chu Yaoyao crossed her arms and looked at someone angrily.
[Of course I remember! ]
Yesterday was the day she was spanked on the hand!
System: Come on, I'm ready for the big red envelope!
Chu Yaoyao blinked her big eyes.
【What big red envelope? 】
【Where is the big red envelope? 】
【What are you talking about? 】
