Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 345; Premonition

Hong Xiu nodded understandingly.

He didn't wait much longer. He said something and stepped back to arrange the task that Huo Junyao had just ordered to keep an eye on Cao Guogong's family.

As soon as Hongxiu left, the eldest princess Ningyang came. She came alone and did not miss the little tail Huo Xiao.

"What commotion did those three make again?"

Hearing this, Huo Junyao didn't find it strange at all why Princess Ningyang knew these things.

"Not yet, but soon."

"Be careful, your uncle is not a simple man."

Huo Junyao nodded, mother and daughter both understood some things tacitly.

Night falls.

During the day, Hong Xiu and the man Huo Junyao called Lao Zhang walked into Zaile Painting Studio, went straight to the third floor, looked around, and walked straight to a box.

There was no one in the box at this time, so Lao Zhang frowned, but considering that there was still almost a quarter of an hour before the agreed time, he didn't pay much attention.

He walked into the box and sat down. The waiter from Lehua Studio came in and asked him what he needed.

"Get some tea and snacks. My friend hasn't arrived yet. We'll talk about it later."

The woman nodded and stepped back.

Soon tea and snacks were brought.

Lao Zhang walked to the window with tea and snacks. This was the window that opened inside Lehua Studio. When he sat by the window and looked down, he could see the stage in the middle of the first floor.

At this time, a beautiful woman in cool clothes was playing the piano on the stage, but on the empty stage in front of her, two women wearing navel-baring outfits and long gauze skirts were dancing.

Seeing the charming and enchanting dance, many men's hearts fluttered, and Lao Zhang was also a little mesmerized.

But he didn't know that the friend he was waiting for was facing life and death difficulties.

King Qi arranged for the person in charge of the transaction to board the carriage and leave the mansion with part of the deposit.

Because the cost this time is relatively large, if you want to bring the whole thing, you will definitely need several carriages, so according to Lao Zhang's request, you first bring 20,000 yuan to make sure you really want to buy it, so that you can pay for it and deliver it to the place where you save the money together.

In this regard, the people arranged by King Qi were a little puzzled, but King Qi meant that since the other party asked for this, then this should be done.

He also told him to get things done.

In fact, King Qi also understood why the other party acted like this. Wasn't he just worried that he, the King of Qi, would default on his debt?

He wasn't angry at all about this. After all, he had such a reputation in the past. It seemed to him that it was normal for others to be careful.

No, the person in charge was carrying the money, and the carriage had just turned into a dark alley with not many pedestrians walking around.

The driver suddenly stopped the carriage. Before anyone in the carriage could ask, they heard a scream from outside.

Immediately after the carriage curtain was opened, a spear with a sharp cold light and a little bit of blood on its front was thrust in.

The speed was so fast that the people sitting in the carriage were shocked to the core before they had time to react.

"King Qi will not let you go."

After leaving a single sentence, this person immediately died.

At this time, the owner of the spear got into the carriage. After first confirming whether the other party was really dead, after getting the answer, he turned around and whispered instructions outside.

Someone immediately took action to move out the 20,000 yuan that was carried on the carriage.

Just when they were about to call it a day and leave, another group of people came.

The two groups of people fought directly together. They were both very skilled people, and each other suffered casualties.

"Take the money and leave first."

The first owner of the spear whispered something, and the next moment, he saw the other party also taking action.

The two sides fought hard, but the first group of people won and the money was given away. When the second group of people saw this, they stopped entangled with them.

He just wanted to take the body of his own person and retreat, but at this moment, there was a sound of military affairs coming from outside the alley.

The two groups of people froze in unison and turned to look at the door. Sure enough, a vague figure was approaching quickly.

Neither side dared to delay, nor did they care about the corpse on the ground, which quickly disappeared into the night.

And the moment the two groups of people retreated, two dark things were suddenly dropped on the crown of an inconspicuous big tree beside the alley.

After the people from the Bingma Division came in, they happened to hear the sound of things falling to the ground and the shadow of the tree crown shaking.

"Leave two people to stare at this place, and the others will follow me to chase."

The soldiers and horses of the ten-man team immediately rushed out with eight people, but they came back after a while.

I couldn't catch up at all, but I still vaguely saw a lot of dark shadows.

"what happened?"

After the captain of the Bingma Division came back, he asked the two companions who stayed behind to investigate the situation.

"Seven people died. One was in the carriage, and the other was in the carriage. He should be the owner of the carriage. As for the other five, they were all dressed in black, but they probably weren't together."

"Then this was also found on the ground."

One of the two people left behind handed two black waistbands to the squad leader.

By the light of the fire, the team leader's expression suddenly changed after he saw the logos on the two signs clearly.

"You guys stay here, this matter is not something we can handle. I will report to the commander and Jing Zhaoyin."

The team leader left quickly.

Not long after, a large number of people came towards the alley.

After Jing Zhaoyin and the commander inquired about the specific situation, they looked at each other and felt that this was very difficult to handle.

"Commander Zhao, what do you think we can do about this?"

Jing Zhaoyin's face looked bitter at this time. He had already recognized the two plaques. One belonged to the guards of the East Palace, and the other came from the Prince of Chu's Palace.

And as a result of the on-site investigation, the two of them had some guesses, but they also had a lot of doubts.

For example, who is in the carriage? For another example, why did the people from the East Palace and Prince Chu's Mansion die here?
"Let's investigate who is in the carriage first."

After hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin arranged for someone to follow the carriage's route to search and inquire.

It didn't take long to find the carriage owner's mansion.

The two were silent again.

"Let's get the people back to Jingzhao Mansion first. The palace door will be locked soon. We will definitely not be able to enter the palace. We can only wait until tomorrow."

Commander Zhao looked at Jing Zhaoyin.

"Okay, tell me why we are involved in this matter?"

Jing Zhaoyin was a little confused, so he ordered people to clean up the scene, and then took Commander Zhao to leave alone.

"I'm afraid things won't go well today. If we don't get it right, there will be big trouble in the capital."

The overt and covert fighting between the three people in the court is not a secret, but it has always been just a verbal confrontation, and there has never been any direct action.

But tonight, all three of them got involved, and the one in the carriage was from Prince Qi's palace.

It looked like he was attacked when he was out. As for why he was killed, they didn't know, but the person who killed him was either the prince or the king of Chu.

But how could it turn into a fight between the prince and the King of Chu in the end, with both sides getting killed and injured?

It was a bit confusing, but it didn't stop Jing Zhaoyin from feeling frightened.

This is the precursor for the three of them to start fighting each other head-on.
