Chapter 744: A Special Love (Part 2)
Xiao Chenglin was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Are you crazy?"
Shui Xingqiu's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was firm.
"I need an explanation."
Tuoba Yu was injured so badly that he would probably be half disabled in the future. He was closely related to this incident, so he had to give the king a satisfactory answer.
Ye Yunfeng is the answer.
As long as Ye Yunfeng dies, the matter will be over.
Xiao Chenglin laughed in anger, "Master Shui, you were also in Taiji Hall today, and you know exactly what happened in the hall. Si Kouji only provoked Ye Yunfeng with one sentence, and now you want to kill him in the capital?"
Ye Yunfeng shot Tuoba Yu with an arrow, which indeed put himself in danger. It was obvious that Tuoba Shan would never let it go.
But that’s for the future!
At this moment, Ye Yunfeng is the center of everyone's attention. Who dares to attack him at this time?
"If you really do this, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave the capital." Xiao Chenglin warned in a low voice.
A trace of fluctuation finally appeared on Shui Xingqiu's frosty face.
His eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of curiosity and interest appeared in his eyes.
"Oh? It seems that Ye Yunfeng is quite extraordinary? Why do you think so highly of him?"
"It's not that I think highly of him, it's His Majesty and King Yannan who think highly of him." Xiao Chenglin said coldly, "I'll remind you again, this is not Nanhu!"
Seeing that Xiao Chenglin was really angry, Shui Xingqiu's already scarce patience was exhausted.
All the expression on his face disappeared, and it became even colder than before.
"I also said that I must take his life."
The reason why he came with the delegation this time was to clean up this mess.
He did have a high status in Nanhu and was feared by everyone, but after all, there was still a king above him.
He is responsible for Tuoba Yu's defeat this time.
So Shui Xingqiu’s idea was also very firm.
"If you want to kill someone, there are ten thousand ways. If this one doesn't work, try the next one."
Shui Xingqiu's tone was cold and indifferent. If you didn't know, you would think they were discussing what to eat today. If one thing didn't work, they would try another one. He was not deciding anyone's life or death.
It was as if... in his eyes, human life was no different from the life of an ant.
Xiao Chenglin immediately became alert, sat up straight and stared at him closely.
"What do you want to do? Are you trying to put a curse on him?"
This is what Shui Xingqiu is best at, and he is indeed amazed at it.
Xiao Chenglin had no doubt that as long as Shui Xingqiu was willing, he would have plenty of ways to put a curse on Ye Yunfeng.
As expected, Shui Xingqiu nodded slightly, "There are a lot of people in the Taiji Hall today."
It is not convenient for him to do it.
"No!" Xiao Chenglin rejected it without even thinking.
Shui Xingqiu glanced at him, "Why, do you doubt my ability?"
Xiao Chenglin was so angry that he almost laughed.
"I think you're truly crazy. Even if you could put a curse on him, what would happen then? He's already the center of everyone's attention. If anything were to happen, do you think anyone would think of you and your entire Nanhu envoys?"
Of course it is easy to take action, and even killing Ye Yunfeng is not difficult. The trouble comes from what happens afterwards!
Shui Xingqiu knew that what he said was very likely to happen, but...
"I won't leave any evidence behind." He said proudly, "Even if someone suspects me, without evidence, no one can do anything to me."
The fact that he can hold the position of the head of the Shui family is the best proof of this.
He really has the ability.
Xiao Chenglin pinched his nose bridge and for the first time began to doubt whether his cooperation with Shui Xingqiu was a mistake.
He is like a sharp sword, but if you are not careful, it will backfire.
"This method won't work." Xiao Chenglin said, "You may not even know who his sister is."
"His elder sister?"
Shui Xingqiu was a little surprised.
"Yes." Xiao Chenglin stared at him and spoke slowly, "His elder sister Ye Chutang is very good at medicine."
"You mean this..." Shui Xingqiu suddenly realized, "I've heard that it seems that there are rumors that she is better than the doctors in the Imperial Hospital?"
"It's not a rumor, it's a fact." Xiao Chenglin interrupted him. Seeing that he didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence, he added, "She was responsible for the public autopsies of those Nanhu assassins who were captured before, and killed the poisonous insects in their bodies."
Shui Xingqiu's pupils shrank slightly.
"So... it's her?"
He had vaguely heard something when the incident happened before, but after all, they were thousands of miles apart, so he didn't know it very clearly.
Who knew that Ye Chutang was actually Ye Yunfeng's elder sister?
Shui Xingqiu pondered for a moment.
"This Ye Chutang is definitely something. Has she ever been to Nanhu before? Otherwise, how could she know something about the art of Gu poison?"
The poison in those assassins' bodies was not ordinary. It was not easy for Ye Chutang to recognize it and solve it.
Xiao Chenglin shook his head, "Not really."
He briefly talked about Ye Chutang's background and his experiences in recent years.
"To be honest, she really didn't have the time or opportunity to go to Nanhu. No one knows where she learned the art of poison, just like her medical skills—"
Xiao Chenglin paused and stopped talking.
"Anyway, if you attack Ye Yunfeng, Ye Chutang will probably find out soon. If she catches you... your situation won't be any better than Tuoba Yu's today."
Shui Xingqiu finally got serious this time.
Putting aside other things for now, if Ye Chutang is really as powerful as Xiao Chenglin said, then the risk of him doing this is indeed extremely high.
but……
"Even if that's the case, it's not as serious as you say, right?" Shui Xingqiu said, "Didn't you say that her parents died and she raised several brothers and sisters alone? Even if such an orphan girl wins the trust of the current emperor with her medical skills, she still has no foundation."
It's just duckweed, why is it worth being so fearful?
Xiao Chenglin looked at him with a sneer.
"It seems you've been living too comfortably in Nanhu, lacking even the most basic sense of crisis. Even if you were far away in Nanhu before, you should have at least inquired about it before coming to Beijing. No foundation at all? Did you know that the Princess's Mansion and the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion are both her backers?"
The current Ye Chutang is no longer the orphan who was bullied by others.
Shui Xingqiu felt a little embarrassed by what he said, but he still grasped the key words.
"Let's not talk about the Princess's Mansion for now, how come Dingbei Marquis' Mansion is also related to her?"
Xiao Chenglin lowered his eyes slightly.
Shui Xingqiu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Xiao Chenglin was exuding an indescribable discomfort all over his body.
Xiao Chenglin finally spoke, his tone lacking any emotion.
It seemed as if he was laughing, but also as if he was mocking someone, yet there was a hint of coldness between his brows.
"Dingbei Marquis Chen Yanchuan has a special liking for her, and you didn't know that?"
