I have a system to assist

Chapter 55: Assassination on Niulan Street

"Slave Si Lili, pay my respects to Mr. Ye." Si Lili bowed down to Ye Cao on the spot.

"Oh, you know me?" Leaf Grass was a little surprised. Although he had lived in Beiqi for more than ten years, Si Lili probably hadn't been born at that time.

"The servants are under the command of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has an order that anyone who sees the Young Master will be served by the Master." Si Lili said so.

Queen Mother?

Nanqing had a queen mother, how could Northern Qi have a queen mother?Back then, the old emperor killed the whole family of the prince, and the emperor's mother died that night. When did a queen mother come out?

In fact, this queen mother is none other than Haitang, the emperor's wet nurse.The emperor grew up beside Haitang since he was a child, and was raised by her.

Haitang treats him like his own, even better than her own daughter Haitang Duoduo, that kind of affection is not comparable to that of ordinary nurses.

When the emperor grew up, in order to repay his nurse, he named Haitang the "Queen Dowager".

At the beginning, the ruling and opposition parties naturally did not disagree. There has never been such a precedent for a nanny to be the queen mother.

But Ku He agreed, he always thought that Haitang was Yecao's woman, and Haitang Duoduo was Yecao's daughter, so he felt that they were worthy of this title.

Moreover, the emperor had no father or mother since he was a child, and the queen mother didn't care about anything, and no one in the royal family would object, and the harem always respected Haitang.

By the way, Haitang Duoduo was also named a saint without any hindrance.

"Oh, so it's Haitang's person." Thinking of Haitang, Ye Cao still has some affection for her, Haitang served him well back then, and Yiye taught him just like Haitang.

Haitang is also the master of mind, even though Ye Cao has been away from Beiqi for many years, she actually confessed to her undercover spies, so he wants to regard her as the master.

"I haven't seen her for a long time. How is she?" Ye Cao asked.

"The empress dowager is in good health, but she always looks forward to your son's return." Si Lili said, but he didn't know if the second part of her sentence was true, or if she wanted to play the emotional card to keep herself alive.

"Don't worry, even if it's not for Haitang's sake, I won't kill you." Ye Cao gave Si Lili a reassurance, and then asked, "I heard that you have a token, what does it look like?"

"I'll draw it for you, Young Master." The token had already been taken away by Lin Gong, so Si Lili could only draw the appearance of the token on paper.

As a result, Ye Cao saw that this was the Immortal Grass Token of Tianshi Palace that she had back then, the pattern on it was exactly the same as the one on the corner of her clothes.

Ye Cao smiled slightly and said, "Your identity has been exposed, so let's go back to Northern Qi and take a boat back to Danzhou."

"Your servant obeys." Si Lili dared not to obey, not to mention that what she said just now was not half false, even with the strength of Grandmaster Yecao, she would not dare to disobey his words in the slightest.

Even if you are a spy, you still have to cherish life.As for tomorrow, the second prince will meet Fan Xian in the boat, so who cares.

On the next day, Fan Xian left the mansion as scheduled, and went to Liujing River to manage the boat. Teng Zijing was both a guard and a coachman on this trip.

"Whoosh!"

When they reached the middle of Niulan Street, a cold arrow was shot at the two of them. Thanks to their extraordinary skills, they not only avoided the cold arrow, but also killed the two assassins who shot the cold arrow.

The assassin was none other than Si Gu Jian's disciple.

But before they took off the hoods of the two female assassins, one or two giant men rushed out, as fierce as a tiger, and charged towards Fan Xian.

"Northern Qi Cheng Jushu!" Teng Zijing exclaimed even after recognizing the identity of the giant man.

Whoosh, whoosh, the poisoned concealed weapon in Teng Zijing's clothes shot towards Cheng Jushu.

"Ding ding ding" It's a pity that Cheng Jushu practiced martial arts horizontally, and the hidden weapon couldn't pierce his skin.

"bass!"

Fan Xian was not idle either. He pulled out the ivory dagger and stabbed at Cheng Jushu. Unfortunately, Cheng Jushu was not a wooden stake and would not stand still. He punched Fan Xian three meters away.

Fan Xian and Cheng Jushu are also of the eighth rank, but the eighth rank is different from the eighth rank.

Compared to Cheng Jushu, a killing machine, Fan Xian can be regarded as a pampered young master, not to mention his lack of experience in battle, and even less of that trait. Either you die or I die.

"Ah!" Teng Zijing showed a desperate posture and attacked Cheng Jushu frantically, but he was only a "seventh rank" strength, which was a big difference from Cheng Jushu.

"puff!"

Teng Zijing was seriously injured and vomited blood, and was on the verge of falling.

"Uncle Wu Zhu!" Fan Xian had no choice but to shout, asking for help from Wu Zhu who was secretly protecting him.

Wuzhu was about to kill Cheng Jushu, but was stopped by Simei.

"why?"

"Master, Fan Xian is as long as he doesn't die, and you can't help." Simei strictly followed Ye Cao's order.

"If something happens to Fan Xian, I will kill him." Wu Zhu said coldly, and what he said was Ye Cao.

"Uncle Wuzhu!" Seeing that there was no movement, Fan Xian yelled again, but it was a pity that he still couldn't summon the beast, and Cheng Jushu's fist came again.

"Ah!" Fan Xian didn't care, he could only fight on his own, while Teng Zijing dragged his 'severely injured' body and fought hard.

With a "bang", Teng Zijing finally fell to the ground.

"Zi Jing!" Fan Xian was so sad that he couldn't help but get distracted, and was sent flying by Cheng Jushu's punch.

"Hoohoo—" The man was flying in the air, and the clothes were blowing in the wind, and a corner of the clothes came into Cheng Jushu's eyes.

Cheng Jushu was stunned, like a wooden stake, stuck there motionless.

"Ah!" Fan Xian didn't care why he was stupid, the domineering energy in his body erupted, and he stabbed Cheng Jushu's throat with a knife.

"Cough, cough... bang." Cheng Jushu covered his throat with his hands, and fell down unwillingly.

At this point, Cheng Jushu, the eighth-rank master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, died on Niulan Street and at the hands of Fan Xian.

To the end of his life, he couldn't figure out why there was a pattern of immortal grass on Fan Xian's clothes that belonged exclusively to the Tianshi Palace in Beiqi?
"Zijing!" Fan Xian was going to check on Teng Zijing's life and death, but just halfway there, his eyes darkened and he fell down.

At this time, Wuzhu was about to go up to give Fan Xian first aid, but was stopped by Simei, who said, "No fatal injuries, someone is here."

As soon as Simei finished speaking, Wang Qinian arrived at the scene of the crime one step ahead of the Procuratorate, relying on his superb skills.

"My lord, my lord Fan, my lord Fan." Wang Qinian called out to Fan Xian, but Fan Xian kept his eyes tightly closed.

"My lord, are you still alive?" Wang Qinian said this to Teng Zijing.

"Teng"

Teng Zijing, who was supposed to be dead, flew up, looking alive, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly, "Take Fan Xian to heal his injuries, and then act according to plan."

"Yes, my lord." Wang Qinian took the order, carried Fan Xian on his back and rushed to the nearest medical center, followed by Wu Zhu.

As for Teng Zijing, he looked around to make sure that there was no one around and there was no need to silence him before leaving Niulan Street.

But he didn't notice that Simei was following behind him.

"Wang, Wang Qinian, Teng, how is Teng Zijing?" Fan Xian asked about Teng Zijing's situation as soon as he woke up.

Wang Qinian sadly said: "Teng Zijing died in battle, and his body is in that coffin."

"Ah!" Fan Xian clenched his fists, his veins bulged, and he roared to the sky.
