Chapter 108 Princess: Next, I will reward you
The closer she was to the capital, the more restless Concubine Luo became.

Finally, in the nearest town - Lintian Town, she ordered to rest for a few days before heading to Beijing. Although the guard Gong'e was puzzled, no one raised any objections.

Lintian Town is only a day's walk away from the capital. It is close to the capital, hence the name Lintian. There is an endless stream of merchants coming and going. It is a very prosperous town.

Concubine Luo stayed in the Tianzi No. [-] room of the inn for two days, and sighed every day looking at the convenience of the capital, but she didn't say that she would leave the capital.

Liugong'e was quite puzzled, so Shouyang asked, "Princess, do you have something on your mind?"

Concubine Luo glanced at her sadly, and replied, "Yeah."

Cyan Xiang smiled and said, "Why don't the princess talk about it, and ask the servants to help me with the details, the spare princess is bored in her heart, what should I do if she is bored to death?"

Concubine Luo opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to say it. After thinking about it, she remembered that Qin Shou was the only one who could talk to her and understand her.

She didn't want to look for Qin Shou, so she could only continue to look in the direction of the capital with a sad look in her eyes.

Liugong'e looked at each other in blank dismay, but knew that she couldn't ask any more questions.

It was night, Concubine Luo summoned Xie Liangyu, and forced him to have a talk with her.

With a stinky face, Xie Liangyu touched Heizi reluctantly, and acted first.

Seeing other people's displeasure, Concubine Luo finally felt better, she slapped her lips and raised her chin as usual, "It's your turn."

Xie Liangyu took a cool look at her, and continued to throw sunspots on the chessboard, after all, he couldn't do it, just throw them randomly.

Concubine Luo didn't remind him, her smug little appearance was finally not as dull as the previous few days.

The two quickly finished a round, Xie Liangyu got up and was about to leave, but Concubine Luo grabbed his sleeve and depended on him for another round.

The childish young man really wanted to flip the chessboard, not because he felt uncomfortable looking at her, who would want to play something he didn't know?
Of the two, one tugged at the sleeve vigorously, while the other held on firmly. Fortunately, there was no one else in the room, even the palace lady was outside, otherwise, looking at the two of them like this, they would have to twist their chins.

"Let go!" Xie Liangyu said with a cold face.

Concubine Luo squinted at him from the corner of her eye, "One more game!"

"Let go first!" Xie Liangyu gritted his teeth.

"Sit down first!" Concubine Luo was not easy to fool.

At this moment, Xie Liangyu admired Qin Shou, the son-in-law who was able to make Concubine Luo so angry that he could gnash his teeth lightly. He blinked, and his face turned red just because he was pulling his sleeves.

With red lips and white teeth, and a face with a thin pink face, he really looks like a pampered rich man. Concubine Luo was about to make a few jokes, when suddenly there was a "bang" sound from the roof!

When she raised her head, she saw the sharp light of the knife chopping down extremely quickly, accompanied by black-clothed masked men coming from all directions.

However, Concubine Luo still had the heart to think that the light of this sword was far worse than that of Bai Ye's, it was ugly as hell.

Xie Liangyu reacted quickly, he really lifted the chessboard, and in the rain of black and white chess pieces, he dragged Concubine Luo to roll on the spot.

"Keng!" The knife was slashing at the place where Concubine Luo was standing at first, and the floor broke open with a loud hiss.

At this moment, the guards outside the door rushed in, Gong'e pulled Concubine Luo up, and shouted, "Guard, there are assassins!"

Xie Liangyu got up, wiped his face, his heart was still beating fast, he turned his head to look at Concubine Luo, and saw her face was as usual, her eyes were extremely dull, as if the knife just now was not meant to be cut on her body the same.

He froze for a moment, and saw Concubine Luo patted her sleeves, and calmly ordered, "Leave a life!"

Gu Shiwei responded, turned the sword in his hand, and cut down an assassin in the blink of an eye. He saw it right, jumped over, and caught the assassin alive in two or three strokes.

But before he could take credit for Concubine Luo, the assassin who was being chased vomited black blood and died instantly!
Half a quarter of an hour was useless, Concubine Luo's bodyguards killed all the assassins, and the whole house was like a storm passing through, corpses scattered all over the place, and blood splattered everywhere, but it was uninhabitable.

Concubine Luo frowned, her eyes swept over each corpse, she knew that most of those who had hidden poison in their mouths were specially trained dead soldiers, even if there were survivors, they would not be able to ask anything.

Guard Gu looked at the assassin's weapons over and over again, and finally flicked the blade with his fingers. Hearing the buzzing sound, he said seriously to Concubine Luo, "Princess, these are all raised dead soldiers, and these The weapon is also privately made."

Hearing this, Concubine Luo's expression turned serious, "Are you sure?"

Gu Shiwei nodded, "Da Yin's weapons are all official-made weapons that can be found in books. Official-made weapons have strict regulations on weight and the curvature of the blade tip. The same official product is heavier, and the curvature of the blade tip is also wrong."

Concubine Luo frowned, she thought for a while and said, "Go and invite the son-in-law over."

Shouyang went to invite someone, but in a blink of an eye, she came back again with a rather ugly expression, "Back to the princess, there were also signs of fighting in the concubine's room, and when the maid went, the doors and windows were wide open, and the concubine was gone."

Hearing this, Concubine Luo's eyes were sharp for an instant. She wasn't worried about Qin Shou, but she had to think about it a little bit more. It's all at the foot of the capital, and there are still people daring to assassinate her, and why didn't Qin Shou disappear? of?
She thought for a moment, and resolutely ordered, "Return to Beijing immediately! Ben Gong wants to see who doesn't want Ben Gong to return to Beijing!"

"Here!" Gong'e and the guards responded in unison.

The salute was packed early, and only waiting for the princess' order, the group of people set off on the road again in less than half an hour.

Concubine Luo came to Xie Liangyu to ride with her, her face was full of anger, she was obviously angered, "What do you think about the assassination just now?"

Xie Liangyu thought for a while, "The kid doesn't know much about the capital, so it's hard to say anything right now."

Concubine Luo didn't expect him to say anything, after all, Xie Liangyu was only thirteen or fourteen years old, no matter how smart she was.

She also couldn't think of anyone who didn't want her to return to Beijing. After all, it was two lifetimes after many years, and she didn't understand the affairs of the capital at all.

The only person who half understood was Qin Shou, and she refused to ask him, besides, he also disappeared for no reason at this time.

"Where is the son-in-law?" Concubine Luo asked again, "What do you think the son-in-law is doing by disappearing?"

Xie Liangyu smiled lightly, and blinked mischievously like a child, "Doesn't the princess have an answer in her heart? Why are you asking me?"

Before Concubine Luo could say anything, he waved his sleeves and said, "In the end, either the son-in-law is calling for a thief, or the person behind this is doing it on purpose, knowing that the assassination can't help the princess. It's just a warning to the princess, or maybe it's for the son-in-law."

Xie Liangyu pretended not to say this, Concubine Luo naturally knew this, she gave him a blank look, and drove him away.

Xie Liangyu stared back at her, and left a sentence, "When you need to use the boy, you will be Liang Yu, and you will throw it out when you are done with it. No one is as snobbish as a princess."

Concubine Luo stared at him, grabbed the snack on the plate and threw it over, "Your reward."
