"How about I take off my clothes for you now..."
"Are we... even?"
Xiao Nianqing: "..."
169. The reason for the assassination
Snow City at night is always so peaceful.
Luxurious and beautiful, inside the palace-like palace, a few bright lights are shining.
As the person currently in charge of Snow City, Prince Rui Liu Jiuruo was also appointed as the Lord of Snow City while holding the title of County King.
He was unwilling to directly establish the City Lord's Mansion, but equated the County King's Mansion with the City Lord's Mansion. From then on, his own mansion was the City Lord's Mansion.
Such a move seems to have the feeling that he wants to completely control Snow City in his own hands, but even if the people in Snow City know about it, they dare not say anything to protest. After all, Liu Jiuruo's father is a famous man. Prince Liu Leitian.
Even if some monks with a good background dare to talk about Liu Jiuruo behind their backs, they will die tragically on the street in a few days, not to mention those low-status mortals in Snow City.
That being said.
But tonight's Prince's Mansion is not so peaceful.
Accompanied by the sound of several heavy objects falling to the ground, the pale snowdrifts were dyed bright red, like beautiful flowers blooming on the ground.
Screaming, wailing, unprecedented turmoil spread in the county palace.
A total of nine corpses were neatly placed in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion. They were all dressed in uniform imperial military uniforms, and they obviously belonged to Prince Rui's immediate personal guards.
Every face of the deceased was filled with warmth and happiness, as if the cold winter night and the fear of death had been covered up.
now.
There was a figure standing in front of the gate, his eyes fixed on the nine corpses in front of him.
His gorgeous golden eagle coat was draped over his shoulders, shielding him from the wind and snow that got in the way.
In the chilling eyes that were as sharp as sharp blades, bursts of killing intent could not help but be revealed.
He is Liu Jiuruo, the master of the county palace.
Soon, another young man in military uniform walked towards him.
"It's all confirmed. They are all the people who disappeared while patrolling last night."
"En." Liu Jiuruo nodded: "How's the state?"
"Six Nascent Souls, and three Golden Elixirs."
"Not too low."
Liu Jiuruo's tone was always cold: "It's not too high."
The young man in military uniform sensed Liu Jiuruo's extremely cold expression, so he whispered, "Do you need to go down and investigate?"
"Check it out."
Liu Jiuruo waved his hand casually, signaling his subordinates to leave.
"Yes."
Naturally, the young man in military uniform didn't dare to stay longer. Liu Jiuruo's personal guards were killed, and the county king must be in a bad mood.
As a result, the surroundings returned to the silence of no one.
The wind and snow are swaying, the reason why Snow City has such a name is because the heavy snow in winter is always so ruthless.
He is the lord of Snow City.
The large expanse of pure white snowdrifts in front of him was infested with bright red.
Blood in the snow.
In Liu Jiuruo's view, that seemed to be mocking himself.
For a moment.
In front of the empty gate, Liu Jiuruo suddenly said, "What do you think?"
Accompanied by the question that seemed to be talking to himself, a person who had been hiding in the shadows from the beginning to the end slowly emerged.
It was also a young man with a handsome but pale face.
He was so thin that he might be blown down by the cold wind at any moment, and he was wrapped in a bluish-white gown.
A few smiles flashed in the extremely charming Danfeng's eyes: "My lord, you should be very clear about what I think."
Liu Jiuruo didn't even look at him: "[Hui Ying] didn't come back."
The young man looked up at the sky, and slowly stretched out his right hand, gently holding up a few snowflakes.
"Killed by the soul master." He said lightly.
"Are you sure?" Liu Jiuruo didn't believe it.
"Sure." The young man nodded, "There are very few problems with the life and death card in the Broken Rain Building."
Liu Jiuruo cast a half-believing glance at the young man, and lowered his head to stare at the nine corpses in front of him: "That's obviously just a mortal, how can he invite a master of soul? He's still a master of soul who can kill the king of heaven."
"Or……"
Liu Jiuruo's tone suddenly became heavy.
The swaying wind and snow froze in mid-air, and the majestic true energy formed an invisible barrier, crushing all the snowflakes in the sky.
He stared at the young man: "Your information is wrong?"
"I really want to say it's impossible," the young man didn't mean to oppose Liu Jiuruo, "but now it seems that it is indeed the case, and there is a subtle error in our intelligence."
Liu Jiuruo frowned: "The price I offered is not low."
"[Hui Ying] is the third-ranked killer in our Shadow Pavilion, so the price is naturally not low."
"But he failed."
"In our business, unless you retire, you will fail sooner or later."
"...he must die."
"I know."
The young man nodded, with a smile on his lips: "So how do you choose? Your Majesty the King."
Liu Jiuruo's eyes darkened, and if conditions allowed, he even wanted to slash the young man's head with his sword.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do that.
Unfortunately, he was no match for this young man.
After a brief silence, Liu Jiuruo made his choice.
"Twice the price." Liu Jiuruo stared straight at the young man, with a resolute killing intent on his brows: "I want you to send the strongest killer, and within three days, I want to see his head .”
"Three times." The young man smiled.
The corner of Liu Jiuruo's mouth twitched for a moment, took a deep breath, and agreed.
Although that is a lot of wealth for him.
But sometimes it's worth it just to have a fortune that can eliminate a major future problem.
After receiving Liu Jiuruo's reply, the young man smiled and said, "Happy cooperation, Your Majesty the Duke."
"I hope you don't disappoint me again."
The stagnant wind and snow began to drift again.
Seeing Liu Jiuruo's menacing eyes, the young man smiled and said, "Actually, you can completely leave this matter to others. There are many people like you in the world, and there is always someone who can understand that Chen Anning How much trouble your people will bring you in the future."
"Mortals should be mortals."
Recalling the new frisbee grenade secretly brought back by his subordinate spies, Liu Jiuruo involuntarily clenched his fists.
This is a threat.
A big threat that seems inconspicuous now, but may cause headaches in the future.
Liu Jiuruo snorted coldly: "Once the power of mortals rises, the mutual balance among monks will be destroyed. At that time... the competition for the crown prince will become extremely troublesome. We don't want too many variables."
"You can discuss it with your allies." The young man was still smiling, "We don't mind earning more benefits."
"alliance?"
Liu Jiuruo almost didn't laugh out loud: "If there are people who want to kill, there will naturally be people who want to protect him. It's just that most of them don't know that there is such a person."
"So you want to strike first before they react." The young man showed a clear expression, completely understanding Liu Jiuruo's thoughts, "And this matter is actually related to the crown prince, it's really interesting."
"Knowing too much is never a good thing."
"I understand this, of course."
Say it.
The figure of the young man gradually disappeared into the snowstorm.
When he was leaving, he left a message via voice transmission: "The best killer from the Broken Rain Building will arrive in Baihua City tomorrow. Believe me, this will be a perfect deal."
"Ah."
Liu Jiuruo just sneered and didn't even bother to answer.
After all, Suiyulou had already failed once, and it was too difficult for Liu Jiuruo to trust them again.
now.
He was still standing in the wind and snow, looking at the nine corpses in front of him, his expression became more and more cold.
nine.
Liu Jiuruo.
This is clearly intentional.
"Are you warning me?"
Liu Jiuruo sneered, a little doctor from Baihua City dared to warn him in this way, the majestic Prince Rui.
