Chapter 105 Death Soldier
Luo Qinghan said calmly, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Zhao Xian, take these four assassins away for interrogation first. Make sure you get the truth from them about who is the mastermind behind this."
Zhao Xian bowed in agreement and ordered his men to drag the four assassins out.
Luo Qinghan gave Nie Changping another instruction.
"Take your men and check the entire inn from inside to outside to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."
"Yes."
Nie Changping limped away.
Luo Qinghan finally looked at the Prince's Tutor and the Prince's Guardian. They still had that cold and indifferent look on their faces, and it was impossible to tell whether they were happy or angry.
"Get up and talk."
After expressing their gratitude, the two stood up.
Luo Qinghan: "Who do you think was responsible for my assassination tonight?"
The two couldn't answer.
In fact, they had guesses in their minds, but without evidence, they dared not speak carelessly for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Luo Qinghan didn't get angry and continued talking on his own.
"There are many people in the court, the palace, and even among the people who want to kill me. My identity is too conspicuous. No matter where I am, I will be a sitting duck. That's why I want to split my forces into two groups in order to make a feint to the east and attack the west. You lead the main force south along the Yi River to attract other people's attention and make them think that I am still moving forward according to the planned plan. I will disguise myself and quietly take a boat south. This way, we can avoid the situation tonight from happening again."
The prince's guard was impatient, and he asked anxiously, "What if you were attacked while acting alone?"
Luo Qinghan smiled, and there was an indescribable coldness in that smile.
"There are only a few people who know that I acted alone. If my actions are exposed, the problem must lie with one of them. I will check them one by one. I don't believe that I won't be able to find out who betrayed me."
The Prince's Tutor and the Prince's Protector were startled.
They are not stupid. The fact that the prince told them about this plan means that they are among the few people who know about it.
If the prince is assassinated again when acting alone in the future, the two of them will also be questioned. If they are found to have done something wrong, they will be finished.
Neither of them dared to speak anymore, their palms were sweating from nervousness.
Luo Qinghan asked: "Do you two have any objections?"
The two said in unison: "We will follow the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan nodded: "In that case, let's do as I said before."
"I obey your command."
The two of them took their leave and left.
It was already late at night, but having just experienced the assassination attempt, most people in the inn were unable to sleep.
Luo Qinghan is waiting for the results of the review.
He didn't want to sleep for the time being, so he turned around to look at Xiao Xixi, only to see that the woman had already curled up in the quilt and fallen asleep.
How could she be so careless? She had just escaped from the brink of life and death, and in the blink of an eye she fell into a deep sleep, not feeling any fear at all.
Luo Qinghan reached out and pinched her cheek.
Xiao Xixi was pinched awake.
She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at him dazedly.
"Your Highness?"
Luo Qinghan asked: "Can you figure out who ordered the assassin to kill me tonight?"
Xiao Xixi yawned and said lazily, "I don't know."
Luo Qinghan was a little disappointed and was about to end the topic when he heard her continue.
"I just saw the faces of the four assassins. Through their faces, I roughly calculated their origins and circumstances. They should be the assassins raised by the eldest prince."
