Wandering Palace.

"Then it's your turn now, to kill the chicken and scare the monkeys!"

After listening to Hong Yuan's words, Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

He did not expect that now even the King of Yan, Zhu Di, had begun to murder him, and even secretly colluded with the rebels!

But based on his understanding of Zhu Di, the mature and ruthless Zhu Di should not have been so radical.

"Yes!"

"In addition, Feihu also sent news that starting today, Li Jinglong and his knights suddenly began to secretly investigate the traitor who colluded with the Hu and Blue parties!"

"I don't know what the intention is!"

"Does he want to find out the traitor as soon as possible so that His Majesty can take back his orders and remove His Highness from the position of grandson?"

Hong Yuan raised her hands and agreed, then added another sentence.

Hearing the second half of Hong Yuan's words, Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, and a disdainful sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"Maybe there is another reason!"

"The murder of Cai Pingjin has exposed too many flaws in Jinxiu Palace. The emperor has obviously noticed something. He wants to make a contribution so that he can regain the trust of the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxi sneered and said thoughtfully.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's explanation, Hongyuan snorted disdainfully, because she knew in her heart that the so-called traitor was just a cover made up by His Highness!

"Well, since he wants to investigate, let him do it and ignore it."

"Go and do what you should do. Since someone has come to your door, you don't have to show mercy. You can also remind my uncle that he'd better not get involved in the muddy waters of Kyoto!"

Zhu Yunxi squinted his eyes and said coldly, a chill flashing in his eyes.

At this point, he no longer wants to keep a low profile. With so many things going on, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide his ambitions for long!

Zhu Yunzhen is not stupid, and King Yan who is far away in the north is not a vegetarian!

Hong Yuan agreed and immediately turned around and left, exuding a faint killing intent.

Zhu Yunxi stood there, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the cloudless sky above his head, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had begun to like the feeling of walking on the tip of a knife.

...

Night has fallen again, and the bustling Kyoto has returned to calm. There are gradually fewer pedestrians on the streets. Except for restaurants and restaurants that are doing good business, the shops on both sides of the street have begun to close one after another.

Chengdong Grocery Store.

The two waiters were chatting away sentence after sentence while sorting the items on the shelves in preparation for closing.

After a busy day, both of them seemed to be tortured by fatigue. They had no energy to work and were listless.

"Sir, we are closing. Please come early tomorrow."

Just as one of the waiters was about to close the door, a woman in red suddenly appeared at the door and pushed the door open with her hand.

Hearing what the clerk said, the woman in red ignored it, walked into the grocery store as if no one was watching, and looked around.

"Eh? I said girl, didn't you hear me?"

"We're closed, come back tomorrow."

The guy was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the woman in red with some dissatisfaction, and said with a curled lip.

"Where's your boss? There's a big deal. Let's ask him if he can do it?"

The woman in red looked around and spoke slowly, finally focusing on the door leading to the backyard, without any change in expression on her face.

"What deal?"

Another waiter's eyes lit up, he immediately stopped yawning, and asked curiously.

"Ye Xiang."

The woman in red narrowed her eyes and said two words casually.

Upon hearing these two words, the two waiters' expressions changed at the same time. They looked up and down warily and winked at each other.

This woman in red who suddenly came to our door was Hong Yuan who came to our door based on the secret report from Feihu!

"Girls are really good at joking. Who would do this kind of business?"

"It's getting late, we really have to close, you'd better go home quickly."

The guy at the door laughed and said haha, waving his hands.

"I'm not kidding, tell your boss, he will naturally know what I am talking about."

Hong Yuan still stood there and said coldly.

"Okay, wait a minute, girl, I'm going to call the shopkeeper right now."

The guy inside frowned, said something slowly, turned around, walked through the inner door, and entered the backyard, leaving only the guy near the door.

Hongyuan stood quietly, looking at the small shop in front of her with great interest, without saying a word.

After hesitating for a long time, the waiter standing at the door glanced at the door inside and began to move back cautiously, trying not to make any noise.

Just when the clerk was only one step away from the threshold, he suddenly ran away like a frightened rabbit. In a flash, he had already rushed out of the shop, taking advantage of the night, and went straight to the dark road closest to the grocery store. The dark alley!

Hong Yuan still stood there motionless, not even looking back, as if she had expected that the guy would run away.

Immediately afterwards, a low sneer was heard in the shop, and then Hongyuan was seen walking straight towards the door leading to the backyard.

In the dark alley, the man who was running as fast as he could was so frightened that he didn't dare to stop and ran straight to the other end of the alley.

Seeing that the exit of the alley was right in front of him, but there was no sound of being followed behind him, the man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the originally smooth dark alley!

The guy was startled and couldn't help but hold back his strength, but because he rushed so fast, he didn't have time to stop and he collided directly with the black figure!

"Step aside!"

The boy yelled and reached out to push the figure in front of him away, but then he couldn't help but let out a suppressed groan, stopped suddenly, and his eyes widened in horror!

The person blocking his way was a woman, but she was not the woman in red in the shop just now. Although the woman in front of him also had a beautiful face, maybe even more beautiful!

But at this time, this beauty was holding a bright short knife in her hand, and the entire blade of the knife had been inserted into the man's throat!

quick! allow! ruthless!

The waiter's eyes widened and he looked in disbelief at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him and pierced his throat in the blink of an eye. His face was full of horror.

But apart from the muffled groan just now, he could no longer make any sound!

He wanted to call for help, but he had no strength left in his body. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he saw that there was no emotion in the woman's eyes hidden in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the woman pulled out the short sword in an instant, and the blood stained on the blade flew away, drawing a beautiful arc!

The man's eyes widened and he fell straight to the ground. Until the moment he died, he couldn't believe that he had fallen into the hands of a woman, and he had no power to fight back!

After stopping for a moment, the woman slowly put away the knife, as if nothing had happened, turned around and walked out of the dark alley, and walked straight to the other end of the street.

At the end of the street, there was a shop still lit by candlelight. On the plaque above the door, the four-character name of the shop was clearly visible.

Mixue Ice Pavilion!

And this woman who kills people invisible with every gesture is none other than the shopkeeper of Mixue Bing Pavilion, Qingmei.

...

The back door of the grocery store.

The waiter who went to call the shopkeeper followed a middle-aged man over forty with a nervous look on his face. He was rushing towards the back door with two packages on his shoulders, looking panicked.

The middle-aged man's face was equally ugly, with a hint of regret between his brows. After quickly arriving at the back door, he stretched out two slightly trembling hands and quickly opened the back door.

He is the owner of the grocery store. Probably because he comes from the north, his figure is much stronger than those who were born and raised in Kyoto.

But the moment the back door opened, the middle-aged man's muscular body couldn't help but suddenly trembled, and his eyes widened in horror.

Outside the back door, there were three people standing with long knives in their hands!

As he looked expressionlessly at the shopkeeper and the waiter who were about to run away from the door, a faint murderous intention filled the night...
