Xiao Yu's face was covered in cold sweat. He was now somewhat afraid of Chu Chi.
When Chu Chi had killed the man, although he had been sitting in the carriage, he had seen it clearly. That kind of overbearing and unparalleled aura and powerful martial strength had made him tremble in fear.
In the past, Xiao Yu had never thought that there was someone in this world who could be so fierce.
In addition, when he was chatting with Chu Chi about poetry and songs, Xiao Yu thought that Chu Chi and he were the same kind of people. In the end, what he saw today made him understand that they were not the same kind of people at all.
As for the 500 guards, Xiao Yu had only heard her father talk about the soldiers of Northern Liang, but she had never experienced it directly.
Today, Xiao Yu finally understood why her father had said that the Northern Liang was invincible.
More than half of his guards had been killed or injured, while Chu Chi's guards had only lost 20 to 30 men.
Just as Xiao Yu was deep in thought, Dian Wei asked Chu Chi,""Your Highness, should we send these corpses to the yamen?”
Chu Chi shook his head and said," No, cut off the heads of these assassins and hang them in this bamboo forest. As for the bodies, burn them. There are so many of them to prevent the plague."”
"Yes, sir!" Dian Wei responded and then ordered the soldiers to chop off the assassin's head and hang it in the middle of the bamboo forest.
When Xiao Yu saw this, she said,"Prince Chu, these assassins deserve to die, but isn't it a little..." It would not be good if they scared the commoners on their way.”
Chu Chi smiled nonchalantly." Don't worry, I won't be scared to death. I just want to show the guy behind me and give him a reminder. Today, I'm going to hang the heads of these assassins. Next time, it might be his."”
"In addition, the bigger this matter is, the better. I want to know how His Majesty will react to this matter. After all, this happened under his nose. What do you think, Brother Xiao?”
Xiao Yu looked at the smile on Chu Chi's face. For some reason, a cold chill surged out of his heart, so he hurriedly said,""What Prince Chu said makes sense. I'm not feeling well today, so I won't accompany you any longer.”
Chu Chi nodded." In that case, Brother Xiao should go and rest first. Your health is more important."”
"Thank you for your understanding, Prince Chu."
Looking at Xiao Yu's departing figure, Chu Chi smiled.""You have the air of a scholar. You are more refined than brave.”
Chu Chi didn't stay outside for long. He turned around and returned to the carriage. Inside, the three women were sitting quietly. The table was already filled with preserved fruits and wine.
Chu Chi sat on a soft cushion, reached out his hand, picked up a cup of fine wine from the table, and began to drink.
"Your Highness, that cup of wine belongs to Sister Startling Salamander.”
The Startling Salamander didn't say anything, but its face was flushed red. Chu Chi didn't care at all. He drank and savored the wine: "Hmm, no wonder this wine is sweeter than before. It turns out that the salamander has drunk it.”
Bai Yishu covered her mouth and chuckled." Your Highness, why don't you try Sister Startling Salamander's mouth? It might taste even sweeter."”
Startling Salamander was a cold-blooded killer. How could he withstand such teasing? He immediately became restless. It was obvious that he was extremely shy, but it was not good for him to leave.
" Alright," Ji Zi said with a smile." If you continue teasing me, Sister Startling Salamander won't be able to take it. If she runs away, won't His Highness 'heart ache?"”
Chu Chi didn't make a sound. His lips curled up slightly as he drank. He looked at the three girls teasing each other.
"Ni 'er, have you found out who's behind these assassins today?" Chu Chi asked after a while.”
When Startling Salamander heard that it was a serious matter, he immediately regained his cold expression and replied,"I didn't find anything. He's dead, but there are some clues.”
"Oh? Tell me." Chu Chi said.
"This group of assassins seems to have some connection with the King of Yan. It is said that a month ago, someone saw the Flying Immortal Sword Bai Wuqiu enter the King of Yan's residence and never saw him come out again.”
"King Yan?" Chu Chi was stunned." That doesn't make sense. I've never met the King of Yan. Why would he mess with me? Could it be that he has a grudge against my father?"
"I don't think so. This matter should have something to do with the King of Qin."”
"Is it related to the King of Qin?" Ji Zi asked curiously," Since it's related to the King of Qin, why would these assassins assassinate His Highness? It couldn't possibly be to silence him, right?”
" I'm more interested in the feud between the King of Qin and the King of Yan," Bai Yishu said with a smile after taking a sip of her wine.
" It's said that when the King of Qin and the King of Yan were young, they both fell in love with the same woman. However, the King of Qin won the woman's favor later and even gave birth to the son of the King of Qin, Xiao Yu," said Jing Ni.”
When Chu Chi heard this information, his eyes widened and he shouted in his heart,""F * ck! Big Melon! Big Melon!"
"For a woman, it's been so many years, yet you still have to go through so much trouble to assassinate her child. Isn't this a little illogical?" Ji Zi frowned.”
" Maybe the King of Yan's love turned into hatred," Bai Yishu said." Maybe he's trying to take revenge on the King of Qin and his wife."”
At this moment, Startling Salamander said,""There is another piece of news. After Consort Qin gave birth to Prince Xiao Yu eighteen years ago, she suddenly disappeared. No one knows where she went and whether she is dead or alive.”
As soon as he said that, the car instantly fell silent.
