Everyone saw Tuoba Xiong's archery competition with Liu Sheng. Seeing that Tuoba Xiong's movements were natural and his archery skills were superb, and he didn't look injured at all, the emperor didn't choose him to compete again.

But Meng Tao secretly called him away: "Master Liu, I went to search the room last night, but Master Liu was not in the room."

He has not reported this matter to the emperor yet, because he always feels that the assassin last night was not aiming at the emperor.

Liu Sheng did not hide anything from him and told him everything about the ambush last night.

"So what Master Liu meant was that the group of people last night were from Undercurrent and wanted to kill you and me to silence me?"

Meng Tao had been suspicious to begin with, and now that he heard that Liu Sheng had also been ambushed, he became even more certain that the assassin was not targeting the emperor, but them.

Liu Sheng just nodded and said nothing more.

The people from the undercurrent were indeed coming for him and Meng Tao, but their motives were very strange.

Zhongyuan Yidianhong said that the Dark Current had strict rules and generally would not take action against officials appointed by the imperial court, because it would cause unnecessary trouble. So why did they accept the mission to assassinate Ye Qingwan in the first place?

Ye Qingwan is the only daughter of the Prime Minister, who has great power over the government. If his daughter is killed, he will turn the entire Dayu upside down and eliminate the undercurrent.

If he and Meng Tao were killed, His Majesty would only be furious and order a thorough investigation. His Majesty would never fight to the death with Undercurrent for them. But the Prime Minister would, so killing Ye Qingwan was much more serious than killing him and Meng Tao.

They knew how serious the situation was, but they still broke the rules and accepted the task. It was definitely not just for the money. This is the first suspicious point.

The second doubt is that the Undercurrent is a one-way communication. The killers do not know each other and cannot contact the middleman. Even if they are arrested, they can only reveal the Undercurrent organization and some contact codes that will never be used again. No one in the Undercurrent can be found.

This is indeed the case. The arrested killer did not provide any useful clues at all. Why did Undercurrent insist on killing people to silence them?

Liu Sheng could only think of one possibility now, that is, the client was very important to Dark Flow, so important that they would rather kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of their own. They would even sacrifice the entire Dark Flow to ensure that the client was safe.

But who is it that is so deeply involved with Undercurrent and so important to Undercurrent?

He was still thinking when Shihu suddenly emerged from the woods, suffering a lot of injuries, but none of them were fatal: "Master, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Liu Sheng pulled him aside: "How about you?"

Shihu was still panting at this time: "I'm fine, thanks to Young Master Ning, I was able to escape death."

Liu Sheng looked back and saw Ning Shaoqing sitting leisurely on a branch behind him, eating an apple. When he noticed someone was looking at him, he took the time to wave at Liu Sheng, as if to say, no need to worship me, I am a legend.

In fact, Liu Sheng did not worship him. He just nodded to show his gratitude, and then let Shihu go back to the hunting palace to rest.

As soon as Shihu left, Ye Qingwan sneaked out: "Master, are you okay?"

I pulled the bow so hard just now that the wound must have split open again.

As expected, when he touched the black clothes, blood was seeping out: "You are bleeding again."

Liu Sheng grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her away, then shifted his gaze to Tuoba Xiong in the distance, who seemed to have been paying attention to this side.

"I'm fine, you go back over there first."

Ye Qingwan followed his gaze and saw that Tuoba Xiong had been staring at them, so she quickly withdrew her hand: "Okay, then you take care of your wound yourself."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers towards Ning Shaoqing and said, "Qingqing, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Ning Shaoqing threw the apple into the woods behind him, floated down and followed her.

As they walked, Ye Qingwan suddenly hooked her finger at Ning Shaoqing, and Ning Shaoqing quickly stepped over: "What's wrong?"

"Can you beat that Tuoba Xiong?" Ye Qingwan asked him.

Ning Shaoqing glanced at him and said, "Maybe there's a chance if we put it in a sack."

"Okay, go get ready, and when he returns to the hunting palace after the game, you can put a sack on him."

"Okay." Ning Shaoqing agreed without even thinking about it, and then realized: "Why do I have to trap him?"

"He just mocked me." Ye Qingwan said indignantly.

"He dares to mock you? Well, you wait and see how I deal with him." After Ning Shaoqing said this, he gave Tuoba Xiong a fierce look and then left.

At this moment, Tuoba Xiong, who was inexplicably glared at, said: ...

"Miss Ye, your guards don't seem to like me."

"He's not my guard, he's my friend." Ye Qingwan retorted: "Also, he saved you when you fell into the pit yesterday. In our Central Plains, a life-saving favor must be repaid with one's own body."

Tuoba Xiong: "..."

"It seems inappropriate to pledge my love to you." Tuoba Xiong said sincerely, "I will definitely come to your house with a generous gift someday to thank you for saving my life."

Seeing him like this, Ye Qingwan was very satisfied, thinking that he was capable of handling things.

[Since you are good at handling things, I will try to be gentle later. However, I still have to put the sack on him, after all, it is necessary for the plot. If he doesn't put the sack on him and gets beaten, how can the heroine find him by chance and rescue him again? ]

[After this rescue, he will find out that the one who saved him was not me, but Xia Xuejian. His affection for Xia Xuejian will rise again, paving the way for the confession at the bonfire tonight.]

[But his confession gift, hahaha, made me laugh to death. He actually hunted a white wolf and gave it to Xia Xuejian. He also said that in their grassland, if you like a girl, you have to hunt a white wolf for her with your own hands. Please, that wolf is still bleeding.]

Section 105

[The heroine doesn't know what kind of sin she has committed. First there was Nangong Muyun, the straight man, and then there was Prince Tuoba, the one-track-minded one. No one who likes her is normal. What a sin.]

[It’s better not to be a heroine like this. 】

It's more miserable for the heroine.

Ye Qingwan complained while observing a moment of silence for the heroine, hoping that she would not be frightened and cry when she took over a bloody wolf late at night.

The competition ended quickly, and the emperor announced that a bonfire party would be held on the grassland outside the hunting palace tonight, and then let everyone go.

Ye Qingwan watched Prince Tuoba leave alone and hurriedly followed him.

As expected, when they were halfway there, Ning Shaoqing, who had been lying in ambush on the road, descended from the sky with a sack in his hand, and before Tuoba Xiong could react, he had trapped the man.

Seeing this, Ye Qingwan rushed out and raised her foot to kick the man to the ground and beat him up.

But just as she raised it, and it was still in the air, Tuoba Xiong suddenly spoke, calling out in a clear and loud voice: "Ye Qingwan."

Ye Qingwan was stunned and her feet froze in mid-air for a moment.

Ning Shaoqing, who was holding a rope and preparing to tie him up, was also stunned.

Are we exposed?

There shouldn’t be any, then how did he know it was me?

He doesn't have X-ray vision.
