Chapter 743 I Want His Life (Part 1)
Shui Xingqiu paused and looked at him expressionlessly.
Si Kou Ji suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet!
I almost forgot, this guy never explains his actions to anyone, even the king is polite to him.
Now that he asked this question, it was no wonder that Shui Xingqiu felt offended.
But, but…
They came here just to rescue Prince Su. Now Prince Su is not awake yet, and Shui Xingqiu wants to act on his own. How can Sikou Ji be at ease?
He swallowed his saliva and explained with difficulty, "Your Highness Prince Su's forehead is burning hot, it seems he has a fever. This night will be very dangerous, and he needs someone to take care of him. Master Shui——"
"Isn't Lord Sikou here?" Shui Xingqiu asked in a calm voice.
Sikou was choked.
He hesitated for a long time, but could only bite the bullet and continue to persuade, "Master Shui, today is our first day in the capital. In this huge city, I don't know how many eyes are staring at us. If you step out of the door, I'm afraid you will be discovered immediately..."
"Lord Sikou and I haven't had much contact in the past. Perhaps he doesn't know me well enough." Shui Xingqiu clearly didn't want to hear him nagging and interrupted him. "No one has ever been able to stop me wherever I want to go."
Si Kouji pursed his lips tightly.
He really didn't understand Shui Xingqiu, who had been hiding his identity for several years. Once he returned to the Shui family, he quickly eliminated all his opponents and became the youngest head of the Shui family.
Thunderous means and a heart of hell.
In the end, Si Kou Ji could only sigh in his heart.
"Then...Mr. Shui, please be careful."
Shui Xingqiu walked out.
Si Kouji couldn't help but say, "This is the capital after all, and the King of Yannan happens to be here. This person is very thoughtful and cunning, and it's very difficult to deal with him. In addition to him, there are several others who are not easy to deal with either--"
"You mean, Chen Yanchuan?"
Shui Xingqiu instantly guessed what he wanted to say.
Si Kouji nodded, "Yes, it's rumored that his Black Cavalry are all-knowing and omnipotent. If he were to target us, it would be very troublesome..."
Shui Xingqiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I know this person, the son of Shen Youyan, the prince of Dingbei Marquisate."
He recognized Shen Yanchuan at a glance in the hall today.
No one needs to point it out.
Because among so many people, that man was too conspicuous.
Even though he tried his best to reduce his presence and said nothing from beginning to end, anyone who had seen that handsome face would never forget him.
but……
"You said it yourself, that's just a rumor. I think this person is just a name for nothing." Shui Xingqiu sneered, "He's probably just relying on Shen Youyan's reputation to build momentum for himself."
He has seen many people like this.
Si Kou Ji frowned.
"This... can't be? I heard that Emperor Muwu holds him in high regard. If he is really just a facade, how could this happen... Moreover, it is rumored that he has fought against Prince Wazhen several times before and never lost—"
"Is that his victory or Shen Youyan's?" Shui Xingqiu asked back.
Si Kou Ji was speechless.
The northern border and the southern Hu are more than a thousand miles apart. He had only heard a few words by chance and was not clear about the specific situation.
To both of them, the other was just an empty name that existed only in rumors.
"Besides, you've seen what happened today. Is there anything special about him?" Shui Xingqiu approached the door, placed one hand on it, and leaned slightly to the side. "Lord Sikou, if you don't have time to worry about him, you should think about how to deal with Ye Yunfeng in the future. The King of Yannan is already troublesome enough, and now there's another trouble like this. It won't be so easy to solve."
In time, Ye Yunfeng will definitely not be underestimated!
This is actually what Si Kou Ji is most worried about.
He lowered his head with a heavy heart, thinking about how to explain to the king after returning.
The night wind blows gently and the door closes.
Shui Xingqiu's figure had disappeared outside the door.
…
Prince Jing's Mansion.
In the study, Xiao Chenglin looked very unhappy.
"You came here so suddenly without telling me in advance. That's too much."
Opposite him, Shui Xingqiu dusted off his clothes and sat down casually.
He looked around, took in the situation, and then snorted softly, speaking in a tone that sounded like a mockery or a laugh.
"I know you're having a hard time in the capital, but I never thought you'd fall so low. You're such a dignified Prince Jing, yet you live in such shabby conditions. You're truly forgiving."
Xiao Chenglin suppressed his anger.
He was about to have dinner when Shui Xingqiu suddenly arrived.
"How I live is not something that Master Shui needs to worry about. This place is naturally not comparable to your mansion in Nanhu."
Shui Xingqiu held a very high status in Nanhu. After becoming the head of the family, he became notoriously extravagant, building a mansion on a large scale and spending countless amounts of money.
But Xiao Chenglin was not interested in these. The only thing he wanted to ask was -
"I wonder how I have offended you, Your Excellency, to have you pay me a visit on my first night in the capital?"
Shui Xingqiu could naturally hear Xiao Chenglin's suppressed anger, but he didn't take it seriously.
"I'm in Prince Jing's Mansion, it's like entering an empty place. Why, I can't come?"
Xiao Chenglin laughed angrily, "Where do you think this is? Don't use the same tricks you used in Nanhu to deal with me! You don't think that you can really avoid the countless eyes and ears outside the Prince Jing's Mansion by coming here, do you?!"
Shui Xingqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, a look of suspicion in his eyes.
"This is your territory. You can't even handle such a small matter, right?"
"you--"
Xiao Chenglin held his forehead with a headache.
He had dealt with Shui Xingqiu several times before, and at that time he just felt that this person was too arrogant and stubborn. Perhaps it was because he had been in exile for many years and suffered a lot, so when he turned over a new leaf, he became extremely extravagant, cold-hearted and ruthless, and did not take other people seriously at all.
But only then did he realize that Shui Xingqiu was too arrogant!
"In the capital, I'm just an unloved cripple. If I really pull out all the nails inside and outside Prince Jing's mansion, won't I become a target for those people!?"
Shui Xingqiu understood, but didn't really care. Instead, he hummed softly.
"You are all cunning and treacherous, and you are always quarreling. You are all very cunning."
He actually used a lot of tricks to reach the position of the head of the Shui family, but compared with Xiao Chenglin who was cautious and careful, he was still slightly inferior.
Xiao Chenglin couldn't explain it to him.
He was too lazy to argue with Shui Xingqiu anymore and went straight to the point, asking in a cold voice, "Alright, time is running out. If you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible."
The longer you delay, the easier it is to be exposed!
Xiao Chenglin deliberately didn't go to the court meeting today on the pretext of feeling unwell, just to avoid Shui Xingqiu.
I didn’t expect this person to come to my door directly!
Shui Xingqiu spoke calmly.
"I want Ye Yunfeng's life."
